Would you like to see this a better town, with more life, enterprise and business? Would you like to see more work going on here? And would you like it better if you could walk into a Brevard store and find in them bigger and fresher and more varied stocks of everything" All this could be—if the bulk of thp money that goes to the mail or der concerns stayed in Brevard. If 7'ou don’t believe it, look into the matter and see how many dollars leave Brevard in one month for the so-called bargains that the mail-or der people picture in their catalogs. And then imagine what would that nuch money spent hero at home add to the towTi’s business! Of course you have a personal right to buy where you please. You f'on’t have to buy in Brevard. You Get ready for a mining boom in Western North Carolina! Explora tions of mining engineers in the last few months and the many recent in quiries from capitalists concerning our mineral and metal deposits de monstrate how surely our resources have fixed the attention of the coun try at ^arge. So far, the develop ment of this enormous wealth has benn handicapped by lack of trans portation facilities. That disadvan tage fades with the completion of the railroad now being constructed down the Hiawassee River by the Cherokee Timber Company. Already Western North Carolina rurnishes two-thirds of all the mica produced in the United States. Prac tically all the kaolin in the country comes from this section. Our mines LIMITATION OF ARMAMENT! A COMPROMISE / The confcrerce now in session at Washington is considering the prob lem of limiting armaments. It is not a ‘disarmament’ conference and should not be so designated. The de legates to this conference are at tempting two primary tasks: one is to remove the probabilities of war between the United States and Japan and the other is to reduce public taxes by means of reducing enor mous costs of naval construc- t'on. If the conference accomplishes thete tv'o r.'r'-, it bo CDn^v’er j ed a succGio. But, that success j should not be permitted to blind our eyes to the essential problem of dis armament. Limitat’on of large battleships j may not ,in fact, lessen the possibi lities of war. Large battleships wilL in all liklihood, have very little use- fullness in wars of the future. It is quite pi'obuble that a few more years would have rendered these large ships obsolete. Modern wars will be fought' with such new tools as gas. Of course, large ships may be useful in transporting troops, but smaller ships would serve as well. What li mitation of large ships means is simp ly that less money will be spent on this form of warfare. The fact that the main point of disagreement at the conference hinges oit the ration of navies to be left the various coun tries indicates that the comparative strengths of the various nations is to remain about the same. If war is evil and if it can be ra- are also producing iron, feldspar, tionally done away with, we must corundum, emery, chromite, barytes, and precious stones. But that re cord is hardly more than an indica tion of the riches to v.hich the world will have access when the Hiawassee River railroad throws open the mine look upon limitation of armaments as a mere compromise. It is compar able to the attitude towards saloons; they were held to be evils and in order to remedy the evil we decided to limit the number of saloons for fields of Cherokee and adjoining | a given population. That did not counties. In this stretch of country | solve the problem. The present con ference at Washington is not deal ing with the problem of war in a pri mary sense. The danger of a compromise is that it lessens interest and zeal in the higher ideal. Accepting the good in place of the best places the best farther from reach; it stifles the ‘best’ aspirations. If the Limitation of Armaments Conference succeeds are vast deposits of iron, copper, marble, ta’e and manganese. The iron fie!d, according to a re cent survey by state and Federal en gineers, is twenty-five miles long in Cherokee county and runs another twenty-five miles into Georgia, the whole equaling the iron fields of Pennsylvania. The copper deposits are in Cherokee, Swain and Graham pink, white and gray marbles, the purple being extremely rare and in great demand. Talk abounds in Cher- are a free man in a free country.

What is more, if they insist on raising the issue of war thcr voices will be subdued or silenced by the compromiser. An international organization of all nations wifeh a co-operative police force for protection is not a compro mise. It meets the issue of war squarely and rationally. It is an ideal which once gripped the imagi nations of the right-thinking people of the world. That ideal has lost orestige throught compromise States.
