wards, and SayVard, architects of
Atlanta, is now in Franklin and visited
the club holdings on Buck creek, 20
miles west of Franklin, Wednesday to
select a site for the lodge. The lodge
will probably, be constructed of stone
and will contain 100 rooms and 100
"baths. Twenty-five individual lodges
in the neighborhood of the main
building are included in the plans for
the complete . development. The firm
of Edwards and Sayward constructed
the University of Florida, Agnes Scott
College, at Decatur, Ga., State Teach
ers College at Tallahassee and is now
engaged in reconditioning the Georgia
State Capitol building. Mr. Edwards
announces that his firm can complete
the club buildings in six months if
necessary. He sets a maximum length
of time for completion of twelve
months. After visiting the grounds
of the club Mr. Edward announces
that he has never seen a more suitable
location for a project pf the kind in
tended. ; ' '
The management of the club an
nounces that the memberships will be
assigned on a distribution method to
cover 36 states of the Union. Mem
berships in various cities will be
limited. For instance "the membership
of Asheville will be limited to five;
Winston-Salem, seven; Charlotte, five;
Raleigh, nine ; Durham, three ; Jack
sonville, four ; Atlanta, seventy-five;
Charleston, ' fifteen, Savannah, ten ;
Birmingham, twenty-five; Louisville,
eight; Knoxville, twenty, and Memphis
twenty. Similar assignments have al
ready been made to other cities. The
membership in metropolitan New York
is limited to one hundred and twenty
five. The club management states
that it can easily dispose of all mem
berships in New York city, but pre
fers to have a cosmopolitan member
ship from many states in order to
bring together prominent sportsmen
from various communities in the coun
try. '. 1
Tfip neorde" of Franklin who have
been withholding judgment concern
ing the club are becoming enthusiastic
since the completion of the project is
practically assured. Those ladally in
charge state that the completion of
the club, with its vafied interest to
-.suit sportsmen of all kinds, will find
an institution p Western North Caro
lina, comparable in magnitude to
Southern Pines in the sandhill sec
tion of the state but entirely differ
ent in conception.

Leaders Must Know What
Change in Agriculture
Would Be Made
W1NSTOM-SALEM-A challenge of
leadership in affairs of their state was
thrown to North Carolina Lcgionaires
Tuesday by Governor O, Max Gard;
ner.
Speaking at their state meeting here
Governor Gardner told members of
the American Legion they had reached
the substantial fullness of their pow
ers. "North Carolina calls" you to leader
ship," he said, "at. a time when gen
uine qualities of leadership can bring
us into a new prosperity and an en
riched cultural and spiritual life. No
one doubts your courage to die for
your state or our principles. I am
not challenging you to that. I am
challenging you to live for your state
and your principles, and to live for
them as . if living for them, w.cjf.-s.
nave-trerrr. ' 'thafffceoirroeaiTTi
The state chief executive previously
had, , told the Legionaires the first
duty, of the leader was to know.
"What change in . our agricultural
outlook would be made if every man
in position of leadership in this in
dustry knew the agricultural problem
in all its ramifications and inter-re-
lationship with businss, industry, mo
bility of population, and world trade?"
he asked.
Likewise, Governor Gardner said,
the leaders of other phases of the
state's industrial and social life must
know. ,
Continuing, he said:
"Then, I think the leader must face
the truth as he sees the truth. He
cannot straddle. He cannot temporize
with facts. Without hypocrisy and
without shifting the leader must, with
sincerity and a directness that he who
runs may read, stand for the public
good. He must know that it is for
the public good and he must have the
will to do what he knows is for the
public good.".
The governor's address carried . a
note of optimism for the state's fu
ture. . ... ;' . .;
"No matter what its present eco
nomic conditions may be," he said,
"any state has a wonderful future
whose people possess that neighborly
co-operative social point of view which
will make all elements turn, thir
thoughts to the improvement of tjie
condition of any one element when it
encounters severe economic hard
ships." The Asheville Times.
