MADlSON COUNTY COULD DO
JU., AS WELL
' Editor . News-Record :
? ?lt was my pleasure to have the op
portunity on last Tuesday, May 25th,
with same other men of our,town, to
join a party of about 60 farmers and
business men of Buncombe County
on a trip of inspection of the farm
ing industries of Greene County,
Tennessee. We went to Greeneville
where we met with the Chamber of
Commerce of that City who very
kindly escorted us to the various plac
es of interest about the City. The
entertainment was splendid.
We were taken to the plant of the
Pet M'ilk Co., which buys milk from
the farmers of Greene County. We
were shown through the plant by
those in charge and the operations
explained, all of which was very in
teresting. On the day previous to
our visit the records of the plant dis
closed the fact that they bought
137,000 pounds of milk for which
they paid the farmers more than
$3,000.00. This is a daily occur
rence and bring to the farmers a
round one million dollars each year.
We were informed that the farmers
had imported into the county more
than 3,000 cows and that they were
milking more than' 12,000 cows. This
is a great help to the farmers. We
were informed that the annual ship
ments of poultry and eggs amounted
to around two and one-half million
dollars each year, and that the to
bacco crop brought to the farmers of
that County four million dollars.
Greene County has the record of be
ing the banner wheat- county of the
State of Tennessee. And many hogs,
cattle and mrules are shipped1 from
the County in addition to the other
products. ....
We noticed particularly that the
business men and farmers were work
ing together in a spirit that could
be called nothing else but "Rank."
This of course is responsible for tH
conditions, we found eiristihgWlW
erybody wore the appearance of proa,
parity. Madison County has equal
or even greater posslbiltiej if they
were developed. Instead of' eaoh
k PAWoriiilrttinf .the .tt'f-nptf
wer wtniWTMrir together behind a
good leader we ean make eonditiona
in our own county equal if notsu
perior to that of our neighbor,
Greene County. We have better
pasture lands here and grow better
grass. We have abundance of fresh
water that can be put in every field
practically. We could have $20,000
coming into the county each week
for milk if we will just get together.
Let us just imagine, for example,
if we had coming into this County
$20,000 each week for milk and
$25,000 for chickens and eggs. How
many farms would be advertised for
taxes? I dare say there would' be
very, very few. As it is there are
many and there will continue to be
many until the time comes when the
people awaken to the fact that hey
must co-operate in order to bring
about conditions that will benefit our
entire county. , . .
You hear people complaining
about hard times and truly they are
right in many cases, but it is all our
own fault. There is plenty of mon
ey outside that we can bring Jta here
if we had Bwmethlng to sell that the
other fellow wanted. What have we
to sell? We do mot raise enough
hogs to furnish meat, so we must go
to Tennessee and take of our money
to buy these hogs when we could
raise them right here at home just as
cheap as the farmers in Tennessee
ttan do it. We have to have meat
and someone is going to produce it
for our market. Why not the farm
ers of this county do it?
S OI tniS COuniy o in i
There are no payrolls of any kind

to speak of in this county, and if we
are going to be able to make any
progress we must gt , down to real
ibueiness and join together in order
"tO dO'SO.'w
I speak for the Citizens Bank, ana
feel that I can also say for the Bank
of French Broad, that we are equally
interested in the progress of our
County. We will stand square be
hind the farmers and business- men
of our good county in a movement
that will bring- about such conditions
as will enable our citiaens to go lor
wafd with other counties in the way
of modern progress.

LARGEST HANGAR IN

Th largest airthip hangar in

the municipal airport at Akron,

at least' one of the two gigantic
dirigibles for which the Navy De
partment has contracted. The
hangar , will he in the shape of an
enormous elongated archway and
will be not only the largest build
ing in the world but the largest
building . without pillars or posts
tn iirAA St im- Tha vast level floor
laid oria special foundation, will
have an area of 389,000 square
feet and will be large enough to
hnui six miles of freight cars.
It will probably be the largest I
single unobstructed floor area in
existence. I
"One cf the interesting fea- I
I tures of the hangar," says the
I Ceneral.Electric Co., "will be the
mammoth' doors, two at each end.
Each of these will weigh 800
tons three times the weight of
an average passenger locomotive
and will run on 40 wheels when
opening and closing. In spite of
the great weight, however, a child
will be able to control the move
ment of the door simply by press
ing button. Once started in
either direction, they will auto
matically slow down and stop at
the end of . their travel. Each
door will fee operated by an alter
natikiiriMirirfcnt motor, having two
ratings! either 200 or 100 horse
power. Special electro-hydraulie
brakes will be used to stop the
movement, and special control de
vices in tha form of limit twitch

STELLA REDMON
CASE ENDED
COURT
The case of Stella Redmon vs the
administrators and children and heirs
at law of J. F. Redmon, deceased,
was the last case tried in the Superior
Court last week. The case was finish
ed on Friday night about 11 o'clock.
This case has attracted some atten
tion. Stella Redmon alleges that she
is the illegitimate child of J. F. Ked
mon, and born some years before
Redmon married. Her mother, Sal
lie Haynie, before she married some
where in the West, claims that after
the child was born that Redmon made
a verbal agreement witnner mat ne
would adopt the child and make her
a legal heir. Stella alleges that J.
F. Redmon breached his contract and
die;i without carrying out his agree
ment. The plaintiff put in her evidence,
and at the close of this evidence for
the plaintiff, the defendants moved
upon the evidence to dismiss the case
as of non-suit. Judge T. L. John
son stated he was with the plaintiff,
but decided to go fully into the case
and submit issues to the jury which
he did. At the close of the case the
plaintiff again moved to non-suit.
Under the charge of the judge, the
jury rendered verdict in the sum of
$6,000 for plaintiff, being estimated
one-eighth in value of Redmon's net
estate or a child's part. It was ex
pected the verdict would be render
ed. Upon coming in of the verdict
by the jury, the judge as a matter of
law set the verdict aside. In other
words the judge held that under the
law, plaintiff could not recover even
though the said agreement was made
between Redmon and the mother of
Stella Redmon. The plaintiff, Stella
Redmon, through her attorney, ap
pealed to the Supreme Court, Judge
Johnson submitted the issues so that
whichever way the Supreme Court
holds it will bo the end of the case.
