ANOTHER BEAUTIFUL SECTION OF WESTERN
NORTH CAROLINA
For their mid-summer annual meeting, the editors of
North Carolina chose Blowing Rock as their meeting place.
This afforded the writer his first opportunity to visit this
beautiful section of our state. To be sura Nature has given
North Carolina, some of its most beautiful scenery. The
views' from Mayview Manor, at Blowing- Rock, are beyond
description. The meeting was held at the Green Park ho
tel, which lie,? in two counties, Watauga and Caldwell, the
county line running about half-way of the hotel. The at
tendance was Unusually large at the meeting and one of the
most appreciated curtesies shown the editors was a sixty
five mile trip, given by the1 business men of Boone. White a
number of cars were used on this trip, it was not a motor
cade, each party constituting a party all its own, at liberty to
i stop when and where Jt pleased. At Linville,' delightful re
freshments were served,, and again at Banner Elk the edi
tors were shown over, the school and again served refresh
menta. But when they came to.'. Boone; hospitality .was
poured 'but in abundance On the vacant' lot of Mn and'

cape With Their Lives
Mr. Willard C. Rector, former
sheriff of Madison County, and now
serving on the police force at Enka,
near Asheville, was slightly injured
and Miss Nora Davis, of Asheville,
who was on Mr. Rector's car was
more seriously injured, her right
arm being very badly sprained, Sun
day afternoon in an automobile
wreck whicrw occurred about one o'-
clock in Marshall just 'opposite the
rew Fortner camp. Mr. Rector, af
ter spending the week-end with his
family in Marshall, was returning to
his work at Enka. He was giving
courtesy transportation to Miss Nora
Davis, of 11 Factory Hill, Asheville,
;who had been visiting relatives and
friends in Marshall and was return
ing home. As they neared the scene
of he accident they were meeting
several cars, when suddenly one of
the number pulled over on Mr. Rec
tor's side, apparently attempting to
pass those in front, the driver not
seeming to see Mr. Rector's ap
proaching car. Mr. Rector swerved
I his car to the right over a pile oi
j rocks over the edge of the river.
(Both cars were badly wrecked, Mr.

I being torn up almost beyond repair,

FRUIT GROWING IN
WESTERN NORTH

! The mountain section of this state
has a climate ideal for the growinsr
of fruits adapted to the cooler sec
tions, especially apples and grapes.
Apples grown here have a fine fla

Jfor a rapid growth, but all these
; things have already been proved
'The wonder is, why has the culti
vation of these fruits not been more

have been developed that begin pro

.and proper care both vineyards and
