UNDER tIEf lANAGEJEfJ . , It fa a fr cry from the plalns'and lowlands to the Smoky MounUins. This summer the mountains of West- era North Carolina have been crowd ed with visitors from all parts of the country.- Formerly a big percentage came from South Carolina and North Carolina. They still come in ever increasing; numbers, but this year - -many more have come from Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and other Southern .and Southwestern states, with a big sprinkling from Vnrfhtm States. It is. to be. the ' nlavarniund of the East unii.it-. t"-r , , particularly the country ' South and West.' ' Every time the opportunity has presented, when it was hot where the cotton grows, I have turned my face to the mountains, and you can get a whiff of mountain air almost after the trains begin to climb beyond the Catawba. As a rule," Eastern people stop at Asheville,, Hendersonville and Waynesville. In fact, most visitors are so pleased (and he'd be a hard man to satisfy who wasn't happy in those resorts) with what they see that few go beyond Waynesville. As . matter of fact, the big increase in summer visitors is largely due to the roads, and the roads beyond Ashe ville have heretofore bon so p oi tht there wa no lomptnti- n to et pi it e to What lily ueyond the Bal " sams. .'

Beyond Balaam to-Sylva . the road is better, between 'Sylve and Diltoboro perfect, and better, with bad stretches on to Bryson City. In spite of the fact that the re-1 mote West still lacks good roads, travel has increaed and summer visitors have been drawn toward the beautiful Smoky Mountains. ' Speaking about Wads, we nust .all take off our hats to Swain Coun ty, of which Bryson City to the eoun- ty seat. No county in North Caro lina of its population and wealth 'has done so much to improve its roads, and that "country' alone with out calling on the State has put one ' million and one hundred thousand dollars in good roads. : There is a ' saying1 that God helps . .i those ! that help themselves. .', The.

PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT MOVED TO AN OTHER BUILDING AND EXPENSIVE MACHIN ERY ADDED TO EQUIPMENT With this issue, The Newt-Record becomes the prop erty of Editor H. L. Story, formerly of Edenton, N. C, who has added a lot of new type, press and folder, and a brand new Model 14 Linotype Machine at a cost of several thousand dollars, besides other valuable equip ment. It is the purpose of the present owner to give the people of Madison and, ad joining 'counties a live weekly paper. ; f ' , In saying this, it is not our intention to reflect in the least on the News-Record and , it predecessor Jn the r ist. Not haying seen a copy of this paper until this summer, we are not in position to say what the paper has been in the past, but we do wish to say that much c: edit is due Mrs. J. H. White, and the people who have reported her, for having such a good paper as she has ' had with the equipment she had. Doubtless, some of t'V' 3 people .who have been reading the News-Record all . ; ese years will be disappointed to Jose from its staff Mr, and Mrs. White, and the present owner will appre ciate any assistance the former management may ren der him in giving the people of this section of the State - the very paper they would like to have. '7 OUR POLICY ' r . Non-Partisan - Non-Sectarian As said before, this paper is not .to be issued in the in A!.t)f ?JiJt.IifiUtical party. or.anr46uen6miiT "tion or faction of any kind whatsoever. The primary " purpose of this paper is to give the news of Madison and adjoining, 'counties; and to furnish the people of this section a medium through which we may know one another better and make our wants arid move ments known to one another. ' YOUR SUPPORT NEEDED r'-- No person or corporation can succeed with a news paper without the support of the people, i The people of 'Madison County now have an opportunity to have a paper. We believe they will appreciate our effort to give them one. , They would soon have been without a , paper if someone had not taken charge and built up the equipment; for we are sure- the former management will bear us out in the statement that the mechanical equipment was inadequate and rapidly deteriorating. PAPER LATE THIS WEEK 5 This paper wll very likely be late this week due to delay in getting our machinery installed. It is our : purpose to come out onetime after this issue, and with ,the cooperation of our correspondents, we hope to be ;able.to do so. We have secured correspondents in sev eral Sections of the county, but, as soon as possibiesr we wish to have a writer4 in' every community in Madison , , and adjoining counties, " '''I ; ; " ' ;' - 1.1 !

They bemoan the fact that men are not so virile as they used to be, casting glances toward other ages and other periods in the history of the Republic when health and strength of men were superior to those conditions today. They talk of "the good old pioneer days" when many diseases were unknown, when people were "lusty and hard." "Why is it," they ask, "that these con ditions do not exist today?" First, the present day has produc ed and is producing physically strong er and more Virile men than ever trod the Roman arena as public glad iators or endured the stress of Greek Olympiads. There is no manner of doubt about it. A Greek of the age of Leonidas would not have shown to advantage in the recent Olympic games in France; no devoted striver in the Roman arena could compare in strengh and agility with the ath letes of today.' ' They could not com pare in courage. .As for the com mon people of those "golden times," they were the prey and .victims of disease and conditions which civll-pcrience.

( From The World's Work ) Elementary and higher education is now a commonplace in American life. . Housing in great cities has madt such astonishing progress that there are no longer any slums, in the sense in which the word was used 60 years ago. V The tone of public . life, despite the recent revelations in Washing ton, has immensely improved. Social conditions in great Ameri can cities the absence of rice from meat to visitors from overseas. j The' improved status of woman ia ! all relations of life is a sufficient answer to those who believe that th Nation ia on the downward rrade. The development of art museuma in all large cities in itself testifies to a vast improvement in popular taste. The vigor with which the United States asserted itself in the great war sufficiently indicates that there has been-no decay in the National spirit. '"; : As to industrial progress, this ia perhaps the greatest marvel of mod ern times. With six per cent of the world's population, we produce 54 per cent of the iron, 64 per cent of the steel,- 64 per cent of the oil, 69 per cent of the cotton, 43 per cent of the coal, and 52 per cent, of the tim ber. By far the greater part' of these commodities is consumed by our own people, SUBSCRIBE TO THE NEWS-RECORD AT ONCE and help Madison County have a paper.
