Attention is invited to a letter in this issue from Mr. S. A. Munday concerning the county audit. We know nothing about the length of time necessary to make an audit of it appears that the auditors have had sufficient time in which to complete the audit and to install a new sys tem of accounting. Highest Incorporated Town In its booster edition of February 15th the Charlotte Observer carrieJ an article on the beautiful city of Waynesville. The writer of this arti cle claimed that Waynesville, with an elevation of 2700 to 3000 feet was the highest incorporated town in West ern North Carolina. In commenting ou this claim The Press called atten tion to the fact that Highlands, in Macon county with an elevation of 3800 feet is, the highest incorporated town east of the Mississippi. The Henderson ville News reprinted the editorial of The Press and suggested that there is uo .occasion for any town in the mountains of North Car olina to lay claim to something be longing to another. Now comes the Waynesville Mountaineer of March 25th. The Mountaineer not only claims that Waynesville is the high est incorporated town in the state but takes in considerably more terri toryin fact, all that part of the United States lying east of the Kock ies. Let us quote from The Moun taineer : ."Towering far up among the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina lies the city of Waynesville, the high est incorporated town east of the Rockies, and an average elevation of over "4.000 feet above seal level. The meaning is not quite clear. At any rate, something in that vicinity or in the vicinity of the Rockies evidently has an average elevation of over 4,000 feet. Whether it be Waynes ville, the Rockies, or the Blue Ridgi mountains we have no way of know ing. If Waynesville, then we apolo gize for this editorial. However, if Highlands, with an elevation of 3,800 feet, is indeed the highest incorpor ated towr east of the Mississippi then we do not takekindly to the ef.; forts of another town to steal the thunder of Highlands. Northeast Georgian Editor Seth M. Vining has sold the Northeast Georgian to Messrs. John N. England and S. C Heindel of Pemorest. Mr. England is an experi enced printer and newspaper man While Regretting to see Mr. Vining eyer connection with Fourth Estate in'this section we extend, to the-new owners our best wishes ffor unbound ed iUUl'5S.' Have a Garden It is only a matter of days until ideal weather -arrives, so right now is the best time you could select to plan a garden, with a view to making it produce this,. year not only a full measure of the outdoor exercise that all of us need so badly, but a profit able return in the, shape of food sup plies. The home garden movement 'which swept the country during the World War seems to be dying out. In those days it seemed that every possible foot of land in cities, town and out skirts was devoted to this useful purpose. Amateur gardeners and farmers cultivated faithfully and reaped abundant reward in health and garden products for their energy. But with the. passing of necessity came loss of interest in gardens. We believe .every family in Frank lin should have a garden, because we believe it is a long step toward the prosperity of the entire community. You can buy the things that grow in a garden, but you can't buy the health-giving exercise and the actual enjoyment that comes from spending an hour or so daily cultivatigv vege tables. And somehow or other the things you raise afford the greatest satisfaction when placed on the din ing table. Let's have more money in circulation in mis community mis summer than ever before. Nothing will go as far toward accomplishing that as for every family to have its own garden and a good one. Macon's ,Park Quota The campaign to raise funds for the purchase of the Great Smoky Moun tains park site ends this week. Ma con's quota is $10,000, $8,000 of which has been subscribed in rranklin The remainder of $2,000, or a little more must be raised this week Highlands and the remainder of the county have not yet had an oppor tunity to subscribe. Most certainb Highlands can be depended on to do its part. Likewise several subscrip tions should be received from other sections of the county. Swain coun ty has subscribed more, than $38,000 for the park. Certainly Macon cat do no less than raise its quota. Let' go, good people of Macon. Local Telephone Company The annual statement of the West ern Carolina Telephone . company ap pears in this issue. The physical con dition of the local company is in ex cellent shape. . The published state ment shows also that the financial condition of the company is all that could be desired in so far as the value of the stock- is concerned. . However, Franklin is growing at such a rapid rate, more telephone facilities have become a necessity. Consequently the company now wishes to sell more stock to extend and still further im prove the service. The stock of the local telephone company fs a sound investment. The Poultry Sale Thirty-two thousand pounds of poultry were shipped from Macon county at the last co-operative poul try sale on March 24th arid 25th. This is believed to be a record sale for any one county in the state. The farmers realized from this sale approximately $.000. -, County Agent Arrendale is now working toward the goal of 100 hens per farm in Macon county. When this program is in effect-sales like the last one will become common With 100 hens per farm, Macon coun ty stfbuld realize a net profit of at least $300,000 per year for its poultry products. It should be remembered that the cross tie and pole business of the county will soon cease to be a source of income. Therefore, the at tention of the farmen must be direct ed to ether fields for ready money. Fruit trees,, the hen, the hog and the cow seem to be the saivation. Protect the Roads It appears from repbrts that in some instances drivers of teams arc using the shoulders of the roads as ; means of braking on the hills. Twc wheels off the concrete and the front wheel set at an angle and partly sliding along the edge of the con crete will greatly injure the shoulder of the highway. The highway offi cials wish to set the shoulders of all the roads in this county to grass, not only as a means of preventing wash iing but ' to beautify the highways Of course those who have injured the shoulders have done so thoughtlessly When this matter has once been called to the attention of the citizens it is believed that all drivers will have enough public spirit to protect their own roads. ' Make the Careless Pay If an auto driver is careless he has to pay for the property he destroys. If railroads are careless they must they must face damage suits. If buildings are carelessly put up and cause injury throught a collapse, the owner must settle with those in jured. But a man can harbor, a fire trap that endangers the property f his neighbbr, or that actually catdies fire and in burning destroys a neigh boning house, and get away with it. This is all wrong, and we need in this state a law that would make ev ery man who is careless pay for that carelessness. If he has a building on his place that is dangerous because by its burning it might destroy a neighboring picee of property, then he should be made to get rid of it or pay for whatever damage may be caused by it. We have a state de partment that is supposed to con demn and raze all dangerous struc tures, yet we know there are few, if any, communities in the state entire ly free of dangerous fire-traps. We are getting around to the spring cleaning season of the year now'. Why not clean up any old structure in Franklin that is known to be a fire hazard, or get rid of it altogether? They are not only dangerous, but they are unsightly, and in many in stances unhealthy to the neighboi hood that maintains them. All that is needed to rid the community of dangerous old fire-hazards is for just one citizen to make a start, and right now,, as we enter another spring cleaning season is , a most opportune time for starting.
