Fortunate ly, corn and hay crops have been damaged but little, but home gar deits are drying up and the ground is so hard that potatoes i.auiiut be dug. Perhaps the worst effect isvbcing felt in Franklin. The Northwest Carolina' Utilities company has found it necessary to cut off the current each night from midnight until 6 a, m. The company's, lake has . reached the. .lowest level in several years, il not the lowest, oil record, and the diminished lluvv uf the Little Tennessee .river is barely sufficient to turn -the power tin him in day tunc. . 1 Unless there soon 'occurs a heavy rainfall, it may be necessary to cut off the electric power all to gether, according to J. Homer How ies, manager of the utilities com pany in . Franklin.
