"Our request to the tariff- cr.n

furtlier manufacture desirable ami
profitable has been acknowledged
ami it is confidently expected that
a substantial increase nf the tanif

done the manufacturer can make

"The' freights on all merchandise
have been against our progress for
years but a recent 'conference with
the railway authorities indicates a
willingness to cooperate witlu. us in
the fullest and to make the frcght

railway by. a base thereof for a

operator might be able to move his
crude or finished product without
cost to himself since the railroad
from other sources of revenue may
be able to defray its own expense
of operation.
"Our county officials will make

FRANKLIN, N. C.
very few votes for the presidency.
Really at Work
The legislature has been kidded
a lot since they went into a trance
in Kaleigh two months ago, but the
boys really deserve a lot of credit.
They've been putting in some real
work and some very constructive
thought. As a general rule, a" leg
islator never thinks of working
and he never harbors a construc
tive thought, but this gang up in
Kaleigh seems to be an exception
to the rule. It is actually begin
ning to . look believe it or not
as though our property taxes were
going to be reduced.
And here's something I want to
get across in that connection. If
the boys actually should accomplish
a miracle and bring about any ma
terial reduction in property taxes,
every county ought to stage a. big
home-coming celebration for them
when they start hitch-hiking from
Raleigh on their way home. They
ought to have banquets given in
their honor and other distinctions
showered upon them: Until now,
they've been showered principally
with bricks, and I believe the
I'.ible says it is not well for man
to live, by bricks alone.
They have been laboring under
tremendous difficulties. On all
sides they have been confronted
with lobbyists, who have been try
ing to convert them. We send
missionaries to foreign countries
for the purpose of converting the
heathen.' What we ought to do is
to send the . missionaries -to our
legislatures and send the lobbyists
to the heathen; particularly those
heathen who ate inclined to be
cannibalistic in. their tendencies.
Things Brightening
1 lungs are beginning to look a
lot brighter. The soldiers have
got their bonus, the legislature is
about to adjourn and it looks as
though that bit of coal down in
the cellar might last during the
balance of this cool weather, busi
ness is picking up- Sherwood Up
church jias shed his spats, Angus
McLean tipped a bell-boy a dime
the other day, Tobe Connor had
a facial massage last week and
Rivers Johnson has got rid of his
dandruff.
No wonder the senate is all wet.
They've got a Fountain for pre
siding officer and Rivers on the
floor of the senate chamber.
Mr. Lunsford, reading clerk of
the house, has improved a lot in
his reading and can now enunciate
such words as tropics, duties, ba
ker, landslide, glycerin, etc., with
perfect clarity. He ought to thank
his stars that he isn't reading clerk
for the general assembly in Mos
cow, where the presiding officer
of the lower house is named
Muftanchywykisovitch.
Taking everything into considera
tion, the legislature has been be
having very nicely during the past
week.
Here's knocking on wood.

Members of the Franklin Rotary
club were the guests of A. W.
Ager, office manager, Superinten
dent Bailey, E. B. McCullom and
other executives of the Ritter Lum
ber company at a banquet at the
company's clubhouse at Rainbow
Springs Thursday night of last
week.
After a most bountiful meal had
been served, a- yct-acqaaintetlrpro--
gram was conducted with G. L.
Houk, principal of the Franklin
high school introducing the visitors
from FVanklin.
The opinion was expressed by
the Rev. J. A. Flanagan, president
of the club, that the gathering
would have the effect of bringing
Rainbow Springs and Franklin
folks into closer cooperation. Mr,
Flanagan told of the purposes of
Rotary, especially emphasizing the
.slogan "Service before Self," and
"He Profits Most Who Serves
Best." ''

"I have in mind ten or a dozen
trees and shrubs that one would
expect to find in Macon county
that I have not yet located. A
few that we hardly expect to find
here may have stepped over the

give them credio. If I find any one

to this number.
'There are two sections of-Ma
con county that I have never ex

region. I know what grows. on the
FOREST ROAD
VORK STARTED
(Continued from page one)
of Macon county that there ever
has been. The distance covered
from Nantahala station to Aquone
over the Nantahala ridge via Na
tahala Gap. down Wayah creek to
Riser's store, the juncture of High
way 28, thence to Franklin, is ap
proximately 32 miles.
Horse Cove Road
Another project contemplated for
the immediate future is the Horse
Cove road leading from Highlands
into Horse Cove, a distance of
about three miles. Since a Jarge
number of men are available in
these communities, it is not ex
pected to establish a camp as they
will be able to remain at their
homes over night.
Trail Development
Other minor projects of interest
to the community is a trail now
being constructed by the forest
service on the line of the Appa
lachian trail connecting New Eng
land with Florida along the ridge
of the " Appalachian mountains,
About five miles of this trail is
now practically completed from
Water Oak gap to the North Car
olina-Georgia line.
All of the major projects men
tioned above are under the general
jurisdiction of the superintendent
of road construction, J. G. Silcr
jr. Mr. Silcr also has jurisdiction
over similar work on the Pfsgah
National forest, with headquarters
at Ashevillc.
The work on the Nantahala river
road is in direct charge of Fore
man J. F. Cunningham, whose home
is in Franklin. The Clayton-Pine
mountain road is under, the juris
diction of Road Foreman W.
Wright of Highlands, and. the
Horse Cove road will be under
the forcmanship of Henry J. Baty,
of Highlands.
Supervisor Wood stated that it
is necessary to complete much of
this road work by June 30 to take
advantage of the appropriation by
Congress for the purpose of rc
wood and tan bark bought and
manufactured at this plant, then,
and not till then, will capital come
to our relief. Idle plants without
supplies in other states ask what
faith we have personally in our
proposition and to their request we
have said that North Carolina capi
tal, to the amount of one. hundred
thousand dollars and more, will be
available when our plans . have
reached such a stage of practicabil
ity and show the profit desired and
without risk of loss to the manu
facturers and that then, and not
until then, would we insist, on the
operation of .this industry.
"As we see it, we cannot afford
to 'lose our timbers if it can be
avoided, and considering the re
verses of late in our county, prog
ress in this way Would almost im
mediately restore normal times in
Macon county by giving employ
ment at .good income to everyone
and a good price to the owners.
"The popular listings with us is
much appreciated and we hope
those who have not listed will do
so, and in this program we desire
your Cooperation ami thoughtful
suggestions and if we have erred
in., our. plans' we invite criticism.
