Headline. "Stop Fighting and Discuss

they feel they will accomplish more by fighting.
Several cities on the Eastern end of High
way No. 10 insist that they are the Eastern
Gateway to the Great Smoky National Park.
Since they are 30 and 60 miles farther away
from the park than Waynesville we will be
willing for them to be known as the "gateway"
and Waynesville will be the "doorway."
Mr. and Mrs. Tourist, drive through the
"gates" on to Waynesville, a vacationist's
ideal city, and you will be just a step from the
Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Poor Mr. Groundhog. During the past
week he has received more publicity than a
prospective presidential candidate, and still the
public is skeptical about his weather forecast.
Every other paper and citizen in the country
3ays that he saw his shadow while the other
half says it was cloudy all day. Just human
nature, eh ?
In the central part of the state a negro
school bus has to cross a railroad on the way
to school. Just as the bus nears the crossing
it stops, a boy gets out, walks to the crossing
and looks for approaching trains. If none are
in sight he signals the driver to procede. An
example of safety first, being taught to school
children while they are of the learning age.
AL SMITH WILLING TO LEAD PARTY
Monday morning Al Smith announced to the
citizens of the United States that if the Dem
ocrats wanted to nominate him as presidential
candidate for the coming election, that he
would accept:, and lead his party.
This announcement has clea 'el all doubt
about Smith and his willingness to "lead his
party."
What man would not accept the nomina
tion for president. That was the only natural
thing for Mr. Smith to do. Many of his friends
have expressed the opinion that he would not
accept the nomination under any circumstances.
His statement to the contrary now settles the
question.
Many different opinions were expressed in
the county the first of the week.
Some think that he will be nominated and
elected, while others believe that he ran his
last race in '28. Who knows?
Will the Democrats take another chance
on running a man that has lost one time?
Will the Democrats take chances of letting
the Republicans hold sway another four years?
Has Smith gained popularity enough dur
ing the last four years to stage a winning
comeback?
Will the Democrats run the man again who
received 15,000,000 more votes than any other
Democratic presidential candidate?
Will Al Smith withdraw from the nomi
nation race just before the convention meets
in June in favor of ?
Who knows?
We certainly don't.
Some believe that he is the only man the
Democrats can pu.: up to win over a Republican.
Others expressed the opinion that if he
is nominated the Democratic party will be
"ruined." : ';"'.;'"
Every person expressing his opinion on the
matter had statements . to back up his
beliefs, but after "all, who knows?
Do you know?

FELDSPAR FOUND TO BE PLENTIFUL IN
COUNTY
Among many other lines of income al
ready prominent in this county it seems that
perhaps another may be added to the list. That
is mining. '
It has been known for many years that
several different minerals were abundant in
the county, but it seemed that everyone took
it for granted that it was not a worthwhile
task in trying to mine these minerals and
market them. This is fast proving to be wrong.
Last week a -news article appeared in this
paper stating that W. T. Blalock had just re
ceived a check for $500 for a month's work
in a mica mine in the county.
This week George A. Brown, of Fines
Creek, and owner of a large farm on Max Patch
brought in a sample of feldspar which is plen
tiful in the Max Patch section.
For years people have been riding over
a vein of feldspar that i3 worth untold thous
ands. Few people knew what it was.
One feature of this particular vein is that
it is on the surface and will be easy to mine.
Even if a mill is not built near the region of
the vein it will be easy to haul the feldspar out
in trucks.
Without a doubt, Haywood county has
many more natural resources than the aver
age person who has lived here a lifetime real
izes. What will it mean to this county for one
large feldspar mine to be opened and operated
in the county? Many hundreds of thousands of
dollars would be brought in that are now lying
idle just beneath the surface of the ground.
There is a suggestion for the unemploy
ment situation. Open these mines and give
men who want to work a chance.
No only will it give idle men a job, but it
Would do much in helping to stimulate local
business conditions here, although they are
not as bad as in other towns the same size as
Waynesville.
Haywood county is richer by far than many
counties. Nature has given us the raw pro
duct. Are we going to take advantage of this
perhaps another may be added to the lis't. That
gift and make something worthwhile out of it?
BETTER TOBACCO IS NEEDED
If Haywood County farmers want better
prices for their tobacco they must produce bet
ter tobacco. That is the keynote sounded by
several different authorities on burley tobacco
here last week.
There is not a demand for inferior grades
of tobacco, and the manufacturers are not go
ing to buy that which they cannot use.
It seems that the farmers, as a rule, take
for granted that the buyers might accidentally
pay them a good price for their crop, even if
they do not work it as it should be. According
to the information that we have received from
men who know, that day has passed.
Many farmers get in a big hurry to sell
their tobacco and rush it to the market with
out the proper handling, then wonder why the
price was so low. There is only one answer,
the buyers pay for what they can use. Some
farmers even carried their tobacco to market
ringing wet, when it should have been "powder
dry" and that same farmer fussed and fumed
and raised a howl when the price was low, when
it was his own fault that he didn't receive the
top price.
The public today demands better quality
in everything, whether food, clothing, automo
biles or their tobacco products. If that quality
is lacking the selling power is lowered.
To produce superior tobacco, it is necessary
to begin at the beginning, when the bed is first
planted. Healthy plants are the foundation of
a good crop, Special care should be used in
selecting the variety best adapted to this county;
It has been found that Judy's Pride is one that
has proven most popular here.
There is a bright future here for the to
bacco grower, but a better grade of tobacco
must be grown to demand better prices.
From the comment we received on our edi
torial. "If North Carolina Is Uncivilized, God
Pity the Rest of The Nation," we are about to
believe that North Carolina citizens love their
state more every day.
Calvin Coolidge recently wrote an arti
cle on the economic situation of the nation
today. In this article he brought out that the
lack of faith and coura ge of business men Was
keeping a damper on better business.
A famous lecturer said this -week that the
number of millionaires in the United States
was 307 less in 1931 than in 1929. They
ought to put on a membership drive.
