?Bead Herald Classified Ads For Profit*? RETONGA A BLESSMG ~ SAYS TDM. LEGKATOR HON. W. T. Mathews, Father of Good Roads And School Laws Thanks Noted Medicine For Regained Strength And Tells About His Own Case. Happily praising Retonga for his regained strength, Hon. W. J. Mathews, of Algood, Tenn., de clares the famous medicine was "a godsend" in his case. Mr. Math ews served many years in both the House and Senate of Tennessee from Overton, Clay, Pickett, Fen tress, and Putnam Counties. He is author of many progressive measures, including the good roads system and Tennessee Polytechnic School in Cookville. For thirty two years he was a merchant and druggist at Algood. "Until a year ago I enjoyed splendid health," states Mr. Math ews, "Then I began to have lots of gas pain* and acid indigestion. It gos so I scarcely wanted to eat anything at all. I felt miserably weakened and run-down; I tould not get a good nights sleep and I had to rely largely on strong laxa tives for elimination. My weight dropped from 160 pounds to 135 pounds and I became alarmed. "Being a druggist I knew the ingredients of Retonga are good, and the relief it brought me was a godsend. I enjoy my meals now with no more worry about what to eat to avoid indigestion. I sleep restfully, I do not have to depend on harsh laxatives and my weight is back to normal 158 pounds. I feel good all the time and enjoy looking after my three* farms and other interests. I shall be glad to tell anyone what Hetonga did for me." Probably no man in Tennessee enjoys a wider friendship or great er respect than Mr. Mathews. Re tonga may be obtained at Sylva Pharmacy. adv. Best Part ?f q*'''t- ???<*>?? ??-A ?** Of Die Meal SPECIAl COFFEE AN OPEN LETTER TO THE CITIZENS OF GANEY FORK SECTIJN Haywood Electric Membership1 Corporation is a duly organized, I existing and acting Corporation1 and in good standing under the1 laws of the State of North Caro lina and of the State of Georgia. The territory authorized in the Charter includes nine Counties in North Carolina namely, Buncombe, Haywood, Transylvania, Jackson) Swain, Graham, Cherokee, and Clay, and the County of Rabun in the State of Georgia. The Corpor ation has approximately 550 miles of lines including lines now ener gized and under construction, serving approximately 3,000 mem bers. ^ In 1940 residents of the Caney Fork area of Jackson County pe-1 titioned the cooperative to build lines and bring electric service to them and almost one hundred per cent of the home owners from East La Porte up Caney Fork and Moses Creek and up John's Creek to the Wolf Mountain area signed applications for service and many of them paid the five dollar mem bership fee. The whole area was surveyed and maps were made and a complete tabulation of all the ap plicants for service was made. The maps and the tabulation sheets and other data were sent to the National REA in Washington, and after careful checking and study of the Cane^ Fork project, it was adjudged to be feasible, that is to say, that the project would be able to liquidate all indebtedness and become the property of the mem bers within 25 years. The Co operative then made application for a loan from the United States of America of sufficient funds to finance the construction of the sys tem, and the application was ap proved, and funds were set up to finance construction. At the time when the Cooperative was ready, in 1941, to start construction of the said system, the United States Government, as a war measure, ordered all wire, transformers and other construction materials frozen in ware houses for the duration of the war. For that reason no con struction work was started on this project for four years. When the ban on the use of con struction materials was lifted by the Government in 1945, the Co operative sent its engineers and staking crew into the Caney Fork area, previously mapped and singed up, to stake out the lines. The Cooperative's staking crew found the staking crew of the Nan tahala Power and Light Company had moved moved into the Co operative's mapped and signed territory and were staking out lines in Lower Caney Fork near HEADQUARTERS FOR FIELD & GARDEN SEED i USE YOUR AAA SEED & PHOSPHATE ORDERS WITH US ASGROW Garden Seed CLOVER RED SAPLING ALSYKE WHITE DUTCH WHITE SWEET LADINO ALFALFA GILT EDGE FIELD Seed GRAS RED TOP KENTUCKY BLUE ORCHARD RYE PASTURE MIX LAWN MIX TIMOTHY RECLEANED OATS KOREAN LESPEDEZA ALL GARDEN SEED FARMERS FEDERATION Date Set For Junior-Senior Banquet The Junior-Senior banquet for the students of the Sylva High school wUl be held Match 17, 1948, according to a statement made by the officers of the Junior class.

This conflict of claims and resulting controversy over who should build the Caney Fork lines was adjusted between the Cooperative and Nantahala Power and Light Company in a meeting of officials of Nantahala Power and Light Company and representatives of Haywood Elec tric Membership Corporation and of the State of National REA rep resentation, in July, 1945, in Way nesville, North Carolina. In this said meeting it was mu ! tually agreed that Nantahala Pow er and Light Company would build a line from East La Porte up Lower Caney Fork to the mouth of Moses Creek and up to the head of Moses Creek, and that the Co operative would build all of the iest of the lines in the Caney Fork area, as mapped by the Co operative. Nantahala Power and Light Company built its lines up Lower Caney Fork to the mouth cf Moses Creek and on to the head of Moses Creek, and then with drew from the area*. The Cooper ative revised its plans and built its lines from Moses Creek up to the Mouth of John's Creek and- -up John's Creek and across Rich! Mountain into the WoLf Mountain community. When the Coopera tiV^^terapted building the upper j Canev "Fork line they failed to j secure a continuous right-of-way. which stopped construction. Attor ney Stilwell and Attorney Dan Moore, now Judge Moored argued that the Cooperative had no power to condemn rights of way and the Cooperative entered into a consent judgment not to condemn any rights of way and se cure electric service from whom ever they desired without inter ference on the part of the Cooper ative. That Judgement was signed by and between attorney for for the Cooperative and attorneys for Ransom Hooper and others, and said judgement by no stretch of the imagination, affected in any | way contractual relations between I Nantahala Power and Light Com pany and Haywood Electric Mem bership Corporation. That clause in the said judgment relative to con demnation proceedings and inter ference with rights of citizeps in upper Caney Fork, was inserted by the attorney for the Coopera tive, for the reason that Nantaha la was bound by its agreement with the Cooperative not to build the line in question. Nantahala Power and Light Company was a j stranger to the Cooperative's suit I against Ransom Hooper and it has no rights whatsoever under same. Had it not been for the agreement between the Cooperative and Nantahala, currently in effect, thai attorney for the Cooperative would J never have signed said consent Judgement. Certain petitioners on Caney Fork have asked the North Caro lina Utilities Commission to order I ^Nantahala to build the upper I Caney Fork line. The Utilities! Commission refused to make anl order for Nantahala to build the said line. In Lieu thereof the Co operative was directed to get ready and begin construction of the lines on or before the 10th day of March, 1948. News has been circulated! in upper Caney Forjc^ to the effect that immediately after March 10th, 194a, Nantahala will build the said line. 4 There appears to! be no directive issued in the order by the said Commission, dated as of January 8, 1948, the only order made in this matter so far as my file reveals, for Nantahala to build the said line, and yet Nan- I tahala Power and Light officials claim that the Utilities Commis sion hcs stated to them that if the Cooperative fails to comply with! the terms of the order of January 8, 1948, that another order willj be made directing w Nantahala to build the line. That news has re-1 suited in failure on the part of the Cooperative to secure a continuous right-of-way for the lines, and the Cooperative's enemies in upper Caney Fork confidently believe that Nantahala will move in nd build the line right after March 10, 1948. The officials of Nantahala Power and Light Company have J stated, time and time again, that there was an agreement a3 claim ed herein and that they have told representatives of petitioners on Caney Fork that Nantahala Pow er and Light Company will not build the line in controversy be- I ? ETA NEWS 9 Mrs. Sallie Heed is Improving after a few days illness. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Ray and two children visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Baxter Hoyles Sunday. Mrs. Furl Gates and daughter, Olean, and son, Jewel Hues, visit ed Miss Carolyn Doris F.nsley Sun day. Mrs. Hilda Blazer left this week end to join her husband, who is working at Fort Lauderdale, Fla. cause of the said agreement. We have requested the said officials to write a letter to the people of Caney Fork advising definitely that they have withdrawn from the area and positively will not build the said line. They flatly refused to write such letter. We then ask ed them to give such notice of withdrawal in the local papers. They flatly refused this request also. These same officials have stat ed on different occasions that they do not want to build the said line. They have said so to REA rep re>entatives, and to the Utilities Commission in Raleigh, and yet they refuse to give public notice they will not build the line. They now say they will build the line if the Utilities Commission orders them to do so. It is now reported the Utilities Commission will di rect Nantahala to build the line if the Cooperative fails to meet the conditions of the order made on January 8, 1948. but there is no .-uch directive mentioned in the order itself The said order pro ides tnat the Cooperative have till March 10, 1948 to get ready and :,ei;m j<?n^'ruction of the lines, and ? h it tne matter is held over l'or turther v ">!i^deration after March 10. 1948 News is now spread in Caney Fork area that immediately after March 10th., Nantahala will go in and build the disputed line, and because of said news many citi zens refuse to sign easements to the REA. The purpose of the petitions be fore the Utilities Commission was to give Nantahala some semblance of an excuse to by-pass the agree ment with the Cooperative to not build a line in that particular area, and to allow it to violate the terms of the said agreement. We contend that Nantahala Power and Light Company has no moral or legal right to build this line for two reasons: (1) No certi ficate of necessity can be issued legally, and (2) Nantahala Power and Light Company is barred from Livestock Farmers Must Plan Livestock farmers -should con tinue to follow sound planning for highest profits in view of the re cent breaks in livestock and com modity prices, says C. E. Clark, Extension Farm Management spec ialist at State College. Mr. Clark says the best policy would be to sell only those animals ready for the market, because get ting rid of the present herds will jeopardize future chances for a strong livestock program on indi vidual farms. Latest estimates indicate that the total meat output in 1948 will prob ably be 10 per cent less than the 23.300,000 pounds produced in 1947. j This means that consumers can 1 expect less meat per person avail able during 1948. A relatively large ! backlog of supplies in storage now will supplement meat supplies this t summer and fall but will not off- j set reduced output, Mr. Clark said. ? This reduction in output will not | improve until livestock numbers ; are increased, he added. The demand for meats has been strong and record prices have re sulted. Farmers have reduced the size of herds to take advantage of high prices, yet feed price rela tionships have been increasingly unfavorable to them. These rela- | tionships have needed adjustment j and are necessary for continued production of livestock, the specia- ! list said. | The recent drop in grain prices ' building the line by the agreement I entered into with the Cooperative | in .Tuiy 1945." It a directive is made by the Utilities Commission that Nanta h.iia build said lines the Coopera- ! tuo will take an appeal and let the ! matter go on its long and wind ing way through the Courts. Haywood Electric Membership Corporation Pd. A.dv has been partly attributed to spec ulations, lack of confidence on the part of traders and more favorably reports of wheat prospects in the United Statis,and abroad. Breaks in commodity prices will likely show further decline before prices tend to rise again. Livestock farmers should not get alarmed, but wait for an adjust ment in livestock and ieed prices, Mr. Clatk said. Read for Profit?Use for Results HERALD WANT ADS Dr. W.
