Editor The Mountaineer:
From time to time I have seen ac
counts of the earthquake and the
"Big Snow" in your paper, and have
been amazed at the different versions
that so many people give to these
two memorable happenings.
I wad a school teacher at Turpins
Chapel at the time of the earthquake
and the tnow.
There was a big revival in pro
gress at the Old Institute, which by
the way, was the largest educational
institution during the sixties west of
Asheville. Some of those in my school
went with me to the revival. At the
time I only remember one Dock
Turpin.
The earthquake came about 10:30
p. m. on the night of August 31, 1S80.
This happened to be my birthday. The
church was filled to capacity, and the
preacher had finished his sermon and
had opened the doors of the church,
and had mourners on the mourners'
bench everything inside the thurch
was quiet, when suddenly a noise
which sounded like empty barrels
rolling down hill was heard. This
was the only noise which proceeded the
quake.
The benches rocked; the building
shook, and the people left the house
in short order. Some went through
the double doors, while others went
through the windows, as there were
no sash in them. Some cried out
that the world was coming to an end,
while others said the building was fall
ing down.
Uncle Hosey Mauney, sitting with
the preacher, clapped his hands togeth
er and said: "The world has come to an
end, but let her come, Uncle Hosey is
ready." If the preacher and Aunt
Angeline Liner were ready to go they
did not say so neither did the rest of
us.
The reason I did not leave the house
was not that 1 was not scared, but
simply for the fact that I was sit
ting on a bench with one of the
double door against me, and I could
not get out. I did go just as soon
as I ould, and was foolish enough
to expect to see the world on fire.
Of all the moans and groans anil
praying, it was on that hill ask Dock
Turpin.
It was a wonder to me that some of
the people did not realize it was an
earthquake. No one was taken into the
church that night, and I do not know
when the preacher, Uncle Hosey and
Aunt Angeline Liner left the building.
As for the big snow it started
snowing about three o'clock on Friday
afternoon, December H, 1880. It did
not c-!op until sometime before day
light Monday morning, December fith.
No snow fell after daylight that day.
The reason I know these dates is
because I came home from Turpins
Chapel' in the snow Friday, and just
at the break of day on December tith,
I lost my first and only baby.
The snow in thi.s section was forty
two inches deep. In East Tennessee
it was, -IS iiiehes deep,

Editor The Mountaineer:
This .question i.s being aske
farmers all over the country.
When the Supreme Court, with one
stroke of the gavel knocked the AAA
from the block, the farmers were left
at the cross roads wondering which
way to go. Willi one eye on Wash
ington, the other on 'industry, thev
wondered- it' Mgriculf tire and 'industry
sitting across the .same', table could
not, by the help of Washington Work
out a common sense constructive plan
whereby the farmer could re-enter
the ' market's - of the world, recapture
the trade ho has lost, and at
the same time maintain home
market standards which will in
sure profitable returns for our farm
ers and manufacturers alike.
From a national viewpoint th
highest and most imperative task be
fore us is the rehabilitation of the
rural South, the restoration of the
furtility of the soil, and stop soil
erosion and bring about a better un
derstanding between agriculture and
industry, and we think the farmer de
serves first place in the economic picture.

The time has come when agriculture
and industry can no longer thrive the
one without the other, then why not
join hands in one desperate effort for
the proper balancing of agriculture
and industry in America,
In 1029, when employment was at
its highest peak,, nearly forty-nine
million people were gainfully em
ployed, and yet only twenty per cent
in manufacturing.
Agriculture has more capital in
vested, employ more labor, produces
more raw material for manufacturing
ami consumption, pays tax on a high
er valuation of property than any
other industry , in the country. With
1 tin hnt'Jiilw i III-! i mr vn:ii- hv vi'flp
I I tin ffii-lvlt'l in Mn 'irii'fr in rili'i't Infill
and supply bread for his family, ha
to resort to cash crops to the extent
that he has greatly' depleted' his soil,
invited soil ei'osion, and . finally
had to mort gage his farm in an effort
to evade' bankruptcy.
Surely the time has come when the
farmer' must assert his rights tmd
the Constitution and demand equal
rights in legislation and tariff adjust
ments with other .industries, I, for
out', believe that the gentlemen who
framed the Const it tit ion did so with
the assurance that those who were to
be 'i-ts. custodian's down through the
years could, and would, by liberal in
terpretation ho amply able to protect
industry from stagnation, and agri
culture from starvation. .
Not until recent years has the farm
er asked or received -any' special favors
from, his government; and only then,
after overproduction and the 'depres-.
sioit'iwdoiL'ii down on him overnight
like an eagle on . it prey, did . his
government take steps to assist him
in his deplorable- condition. No soon
er done than a howl went up from
the. manufacturers and the greedy
trusts which so distorted and. be
fogged the brain and thought of the
Supreme Court jurists as to cause
them to hand down anything but a
liberal interpretation of the Consti
tution to the farmer.
Had you ever thought that if the
farmers of the nation were to take a
vacation for only one year fifty mil
lion people at least, would be facing
starvation?
