i McElroy Tree Blows Down On
... Automobile
What came near being seri
ous damage was done in Mar
shall by- the storm last Satur
day night. Besides being a
washing rain almost a cloud
bursli the wind was terrific.
One of the large trees in front
of Judge McElroy's blew down
on some automobiles parked
on the street. Considerable
damage was done the car of
Mr. Ben Frisby, the top being
mashed m by the weight of the
tree, 15 inches m diameter
near the ground. But the moat
serious matter wa3 the fact
that Mrs. Frisby was sitting in
the car. At first it was feared
she was injured, caught be
tween the tree and the steering
wheel. However, when it was
fminH that she was not hurt,
she wa8 assisted from the car
and work was begun clearing
the tree in order that
; traffic might be allowed to pass
through Marshall. Another of
those trees is likely to fall at
any time, being decayed to a
hull at the ground. It should
' be removed before somebody is
killed by it.

Proposed TVA Dam Above Asheville Objected
To By Many Citizens Of That Section
LETS GET BEHIND THEM PROJECT
AND LET MILLIONS BE SPENT IN
MADISON COUNTY
NATURE HAS GIVEN MADISON MANY
ADVANTAGES
In a long article appearing in last Sunday's
Asheville Citizen-Times, Mr. Anson G. Betts, of
Weaverville, throws out some suggestions which,
if practical, would mean the re-making of Madi
son County. The suggestions are well worth
consideration. Mr. Betts has had considerable
business experience and is well known in Madi
son County by the adult population, having own
ed and operated big lumber interests in the Lau
rel River section. Mr. Betts is not only a business
man but has been an inventor, receiving large
royalties. In his article h6 ; discusses the Ten
nessee Valley Authority and its surveys in North
Carolina and proposed development of power
from the water fall of the French; Broad River.

Proposes Re-locating Railway

Instead of six dams in North
Carolina, only two will be re
quired. One dam just above
Marshall and below the mouth
of Ivy River, will cost around
six or eight minion aonai,
and back water almost to
i Asheville. The two dams will

There is no great moum oi
valuable property to be flooded

Asheville and Buncombe coun
ty. The other dam at Deep-
Water uxAugc, juok ww- 7 ;
Springs, about 150 feet high,
will nnt he a very expensive

good and will satisfac-

would be under half the cost'
according to the Army engi-
neers. . . . .
The' lake created from Asne-
ville tn Marshall will not be
especially attractive because it
will necessarily be drawn down
somewhat in summer and au
tumn, but the sides will be
steep and there will not be
thousands of acres of mud flats
to -be an eyesore. .In.. the
