This is but* another proof of the .syt. pathetic heart, generosity and progressive spirit of. the people of the county, and of their apparent tlesire to express it in some tangible .form. The willingness of the people to respond to this needy call is clearly manifest, in that the bulk of the quota was subscribed and the money in hand in less than twenty four hours. The amount contributed for this wor:hy fund represented expressions of generosity from at least 500 don >rs, including individuals, busi ness firms and schools. The dona tions ranged in amounts from fifteen vents to twenty-five dollars. The twenty-five or more busy men and women of the community whe save so willingly of their time and energy to solicit for this cause are ?deserving due credit and high praise as well as the hundreds throughout thf county who gave freely accord ing as they had prospered. WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA (Spartanburg Herald) The "boom" Western North Car ?>lina expected last summer was nol realized. It was not realized, be cau-e the thing was overrstaged, The greed of individuals had to be curbed and was curbed. After the price of everything in Westerr North Carolina had been raised bj the option method a thousand pei cent or such a matter, it was real ized that development could nol take place on any such price basis And so nothing happened. The experience has not detractec ftOrti the real appeal of the moun tains of Western North Carolina The wonderful region is there ;mii its development is certain. II will be continuous and while the first general appreciation of the possibilities of the region resulted in a frenzied performance, that ex perience is but proof of the powei of the appeal the country makes to human beings. The development of the moun tains of Western Carolina is on the way and will never be halted until that region is one of the mosl highly developed spots in America, ? S THE BOY TO BLAME Said the son to the father: "1 would like a new aluminum finished roadster. I need three new suits of clothes, a new set of golf clubs, some new sport shoes, a couple oi hats and a new fishing outfit to go on ir.y vacation." "Sure," said the father, "go down town and buy these things and charge them to me." T'-e following month the bills ?can' - in together with a "few" oth ers, which were necessary to round out the bey's equipment for his - holi.-' iy. The father raised the roof with his complaints. Naturally he got :o sympathy as the wise ones said it was his own fault for en couraging his family in such extrav .agance. Along comes an election and can didates for office or opponents of special measures tell us, as taxpay ers, that they would like a few thousand dollars for this office, a million or two for a new commis .sion, ten million or 100 million for some state enterprise, a few more motor cars -for that bureau and doz ens of extra jobs to pay political vdeuts, not to mention seTeral hun dx-ed new laws to be passed by the I state legislature. I We say, "Sure, that's alright," j and vote for the program. A year j later the tax bill comes in and then ; .ve raise the roof about the increas ! ng cost of government. But do we deserve any sympathy? ' Are we any different from the in j Julgent father? Don't blame the boy, and don't | olame the office holder too much, for the father is responsible for the actions of his children and his ' family expense, while we, as tax payers, are responsible for the men we clect to office and our public ex pense.

The , North Carolina Sanatorium wants every man, woman and child in North Carolina who has tuberculos is to find it out Jn time to be cured By a conservative estimate there [ are now from fifteen thousand to 1 twenty thousand cases of active tub : erculosis in North Carolina. It is , only when the disease is discovered in the early stages that it can be i cured. It is a disease that in its early stages rarely makes one feel , very sick. Only one case out of five i is discovered in the early stage. ; To find, and help the physicians j to find tuberculosis early the North . Carolina Sanatorium employs two physicians, especially trained in the ; diagnosis of tuberculosis and con duct*: diagnostic clinics both at San atorium and traveling clinics. The Sanatorium clinic is open every day except Sunday and is free provided the patient or his doctor will write for an appointment. No. red tape is necessary. A postal card saying - "please give me a date for examina tion" is sufficient For the travel -ing clinics the Sanatorium will L; glad to arrange for a clinic in any county or city in which it is request ed to do so by the local physicians or the County Health Officer. If you would like to have a clinic get your Health Officer or your doctor to write to us about it. Mrs. Njiwrfio. Cloud Writes ill Exciting Flotilla Eipsrienee Of keen interest to readers will be the following account of the per- | sonal experience of Mr. and Mra. | Mynardie Cloud, in the recent Flor- . ida disaster as interestingly related n a letter from Mrs. Cloud to Mr. Cloud's father and mother, Mr. and Mis. W. M. Cloud, of Brevard. Miami, Fla~, Tuesday, September 21. Dear Mother and Dad: Mother and Dad, it's lucky we are even alive. Our place was nostly destroyed. All our cloth.s ,vere >vet and faded. We came own to the company's dormitory where they are caring for the em ployees. Sure is nice and we are lucky to be here. It is a large building on hotel plan and so many homeless ones here. Mother Cloud ,the storm was aw ful and the wind blew so hard, and lhe rain, Oh my! We got up about 5-30 Saturday morning, just could n't stay in bed. We went out on .he front porch and couldn't stand up. Across the street about 4:30 a big warehouse caved in. That scared me nearly to death. My kitchen was nearly knee deep in wate, so Nardie and were sweep ing it out. He left to go close the front door and as I was standing in the back door a gust of wind came and carried the next apartment house in the same yard, roof and porch, completely off. I screamed for fear the ones were in bed, bu we could see no one, so I tried to be consoled. I made Nardie .oast and coffee as he said he felt he ha< t0 go to work as all wires were down. So he left about 7 a.m., and Mrs. Howard and daughter wew in my room, for her hubby went too We were so frightened so I said "Let's go down stairs and if rat plact goes we will be safer. 1 had to go down the back stairs couldn't get down front. Mo*er and Dad, we had only been down about 40 minutes when our roofwa taken completely off and our fron porch taken -All our furniture was ruined. , ? After storm had slackened, when I went up stairs, what a terror to uaza upon! Everything on top oi each other. Nothing could haidly be found. I pulled out our cloth* from the debris. All Nardie shirts but "one were wet and Lmn o him change when he got in, for * came back in a few hours for ht only got as far as 20th ? st,J? rtorm so bad he couldn t drive. When he saw our house nearly g?n-. he went next door to see if 1 was there, then came running into Mrs Pinder's. He was .soaking wet, foi he walked all through the storm anc it at its worst, and came to s about me for he knew I would I b< nervous. He asked me if I anything from up stairs. "No " so he lit out and went up and brought my dresses what he con r find and his blue suit, but all were nearly ruined and so wet. several things and my new -T . dress I had only worn one t,n,e '' ruined and all others are fade, or each other. It's pitiful toloo.cor them. I had to stay in all day - Su ? day for didn't have a dry dress M shoes to put on, and I was b ik ing in a strange place and > nerves were on edge. I fslt could cry for a week I was soak ing wet from 7:30 till 5:30. The were 8 women, 6 men and 2 chii dren in one room and it leaked like a sifter, and to hear my place go ing to destruction sure made me faint, and we would all cry an scream. I've never been so scared in all my life. Seemed every m? ate would be the last one We found coffee and had some, had that day. Nardie struck out to find a place. He came back and said he had found a place and it sure is nice here. I hung out all my things to dry Monday and called to a colored woman and she washe'd and ironed so they are all dry. Our shoes are still wet, but Mother Cloud we are thankful we are well and safe as so many are homeless and stowed. We hope to get our apartment later but now we can't see ahead. Trains haven't been running and Telegrams being carried to Wes Palm Beach by car or train, so we couldn't wire you as we wanted to. Mother and Dad, my nerves and mind are so upset I cant think or tell you all I'd like to, but the city and surrounding places are bad as can 1-e. Everything is effected some way. Have no lights or anything, but we do have water. This leaves us well and contented as we can be under the circumstances. Love to all, Ethel. William Trickey of Bergville, Minti., was shot in the leg and cap tured while trying to escape from Sheriff George O'Brien who said "Your name may be Trickey, but you ar enot tricky enough." CAROLINA MOTOR 6LUB IS LAUDED FOR HELP IN FIGHT FOR MOTOR TAX CUT Signing of the New Revenue Bill by I Pretident Coolidge Mark* end of Socce**ful Campaign to Cut Tax. ? On the eve of the signing of the ' new tax bill by President Coolidge, W. F. Shipman, assistant manager! of Western North Carolina territory j of the Carolina Motor Club, re ceived a letter from the National 1 headquarters of the American Aiito ' mobile Association complimenting the Carolina Motor Club o nthe ag gressive and helpful part it took in the successful battle for the reduc tion of the federal automobile ex cise taxes. The fact that in the last analysis the motorists were able to secure re duction of $80,400,000 or 21 per : cent of a total of tax reduction to. 1 $387,000,000 speaks volumes not only for the aggressive fight waged on their behalf but also convincing testimony to the value of organiza tion in the national as well as the local legislation, Mr. Shipman de clares. J Mr. Shipman said that in the con gratulatory letter just received, Ernest N. Smith, general manager of the American Automobile Asso ciation, who supervised the fight in Washington, it is shown that with out the help of the local club and other clubs affiliated with the asso ciation who contributed through di rect and indirect representatives to Congress, the share of the automo bile owners in this year's tax cut would have been smaller that it ac tually i?. It is pointed out that all motor ists benefit in equal measure from Federal tax relief but it was only made possible by the dues of club members and by the ability of the clubs to call the attention of their representatives in Congress in an effective way to the interests of , their constituents. The motor vehicle federal excise tax cut applies as follows: Repeal of two and one-half per cent on .tires, parts and accessories, $25, 000,000 repeal of three per cent tax ( on passenger cars to three per cent, $46,4000,000.
