FRANK MILLER'S APPOINTMENT
The appointment of Frank W. Miller as a
member of the highway and public works com
mission by Governor Ehringhaus is the second'
Haywood County man within the past few
months to receive an important appointment
for some high; position. The. other being the
appointment of Judge Felix Alley.
The Mountaineer congratulates Mr. Miller
upon his 'appointment, and feels that Governor
Ehringhaus made a wise move in naming Mr.
Miller to the commission, as there are few men
in Western North Carolina that have taken a
more active interest in the highway program
in this section that he has. He was
one of the untiring workers for the Soco Gap
road to say nothing of the many other projects
he has fought diligently for during the past
number, of years.
The Asheville Citizen has the following to
say in regard to Mr. Miller's appointment:.
T'ne naming of Frank W. Miller of llay
wod County, on the highway-prison board-gives
satisfaction to those who know Mr. Miller and
who are ready to: testify to his ability, to his
M.lid and informed interest in the development
of the-State, and to his capacity for public
service-. He will take up his new duties with
an understanding of their importance 'and with
a knowledge of the 'problems that are involved
and how liiev should be met.
WHISPERS
In New York State for some years it has
been a crime to knowingly circulate false -report
about the financial .stability of a bank.
Recently, Governor Lehman approved an amend
ment to this law extending its provisions to
cover false reports about insurance companies
and commercial organizations.
This has been done to check, so far as pos
sible, the -whispering epidemic which lias been
one of the. 'most dangerous features of the
present world 'depression.. The whisper '-.spreads'
more rapidly than any fever or scourge. Men
who gather statistics say that one milieiouslv
uttered remark can spread from a single indi
vidual to every person in a city of K.lO.OOi) in
less than two hours. -That is how runs on 'banks
have been precipitated. 'The whisper' play's no
favorites.
Often a whisper has nothing more malic
ious back of it than the habit of individuals to
pass along hints or rumors that have been im
parted to them. ..However,; this innocence of
motive does not mitigate the effect of the ac
tion. It must be slopped. James A. Heha,
.General Manager and Counsel of the National
Bureau of Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
recently characterized the whisper properly
when he said:
"A whisper is like a snake and should be
treated as such. We cruh the head of a ser
pent, trample it under our heel. JVe should-. do
the same thing to a whisper." Ex.
TEN THOUSAND FOLDERS
The 10,000 8-page folders for the District
Chamber of Commerce were completed last
week and are now ready for distribution. The
folders are printed in two colors and give valu
able information to prospective tourists and
home-seekers.
Arrangements have been made with South
ern Railway officials by Mrs. Helen C. Matthews
to use 5,000 of the folders. These will be dis
tributed through their different offices at points
where those seeking an ideal vacation spot live
We feel that advertising of this nature for
the community will tend to make the coming
season one of Waynesville's best.
Add to this week's laugh: As happy as a
member of the equalization board that meets
Monday.
ON HIGHER GROUND
While much is being said in Henderson and
Transylvania counties about the development
of the Tennessee Valley which calls for the con
struction of a huge dam on French Broad river
that would put thousands of acres of fertile land
in these two counties under water, the people
of Haywood are not caused to worry from that
standpoint, as we are higher than the water
empounded by the dam would be, although we
are vitally interested in the matter.
According to reports, the fertile valley of
Mills River would be under water, as would
thousands of acres along the banks of the
French Broad into Transylvania county. Many
miles of highways and railroads in the territory
would be Hooded.
President Roosevelt stated that the de'fl
opment of the Tennessee Valley was an experi
ment with the government in an effort to create
jobs and also control the waters of the rivers
into the Mississippi. The matter of Hood con
trol has been one that seiious thinking men
have spent much time with during recent years.
Each year millions of dollars are lost in the
lower Mississippi valley because of floods, and
it is toward this end that President Roosevelt
is working.
Just how much it will cost in dollars and
cents to complete the projects is not known,
but it looks as if the Hooding of the large num
ber of acres of farm lands in the two neighbor
ing counties is just a small item of what the
project will cost, it seems that a huge amount
will have to be expended. Perhaps President
Roosevelt takes the position that is is better to
Hood several thousand acres of land in one sec
tion in order to help a larger section of the
country.
We are glad we are on higher ground.
GEMS FROM WISDOM'S MINDS
Today is yesterday's pupil.
No one has ever seen tomorrow.
A good deed bears a blessing for its fruit.
If your desires be endless, your cares will
be so, too.
One meets his destiny often in the road he
takes to avoid it.
.Where there is discipline there is virtue:
where there is peace there is plenty. .
Discontent arises from our desires ol'tener
than from our wants.
He that eats and saves sets the table twice.
True eloquence-consists in saying all that
is proper and nothing more.
He who envies another admits his own
inferiority.
-Improve' rather by other men's errors than
find fault with them.
The way to avoid great faults is to be
ware of little ones.
He who asks fewest favors is the best re
ceived. Who overcomes by force overcomes but
half his foe.
One peace is better than ten 'Victories.'
Berlin ought to save its books and burn
them next winter when they'd come in handy
for fuel.
The way most Americans live by
the time they earn enough money to enjoy life
they are working so hard they don't have time.
A Kansas wooer by mail has called off a
correspondence of 20 years by mail and married
the girl. Perhaps he figured it cheaper to
marry than correspond with 3-cent postage.
"Nature is an original artist," we read.
That is why she so often scorns to copy the
pictures on flower seed packets.
Several Changes
Made In State
Fertilizer Law
A new fertilizer law wa.; pa.-sed
by the General Assembly this year
and will go into effect in January.
1934. The new law is said. by C. B.
Williams, head of the department of
agronomy at State College, to be a
distinct imp roomer. over the old
law and its amendments.
One change which farmer- will
notice immediately will be in the
listing of materials. Heretofore in
this state, phosphoric acid has been
listed first. wi,"h rirj-ogent second,
and potash third. The new law re
quires the nitrogen to be listed first,
phosphoric acid second, and potash
third.
Under this rule an 8-3-3 fertilizer
becomes a U-K-;i in '.he future. The
guarantee for nitrogen must be ex
pressed as nitrogent and not as
amonia, as in the past.
Mr. Williams points out also that
no fertilizer containing less than 14
per cent of plant food will be allowed
on sale- This des away with such
low glades a- an 8-2-2 and means
that the farmer will spend less money
for worthless filler.
Members of the agricultural com
mittee of the General Assembly also
wished to make the manufacturers
state on the tag the kinds and
amounts of all ingredien's used in
the fertilizer but the chemists said
they could not tell by analysis wheth
er nitrogen, for in -la nee. came from
o'.-ttonseod meal, fish, or tankage.
However, the new law does require the
amount of insoluble nitrogen to be
given.
Tobacco fertilizers are given spe
cial consideration under tiie new law
Mr. William says. The sources of
nitrogen and the amount of chlo
rine in the mixture must be listed.
On the whole, Williams points cut
that the new law will give farmers
more accurate information about their
mixtures and he urgest growers to
take full advantage of this fact.

It is just about this time of year that our
friend Josephus Daniels comes to Lake Juna
luska to spend -several weeks in the cool of tho
mountains. Each year he comes in The Moun
taineer olli.ee to see the boys and to get a. smell
of printer's ink.
We'll miss his friendly visits this year, but
we realize that he is probably doing a work in
Mexico City as Ambassador that few other
Americans are capable of doing.
Mcginning Tuesday morning the board of
county commissioners will act as an equaliza
tion board and hear the complaints of taxpayers
of the county, and adjust all matters where
property owners are now taxed too heavily.
The board of commissioners have a hard
job ahead of them. One that we would dread
to have. It is their duty to equalize taxes, but
many people will approach the board with hopes
of being relieved of taxes instead of getting
them equalized.
