'."Ihave been greatly impressed with
the prospect for agricultural end
tourist development in this section,

ment? since my last trip throngh

toiKhH on the tourist development,
stating, '-While I would advise that
you do everything to entertain your
p'Jfsts. and I am greatly impressed
with the spirit of cordiality that pie
vail? here. I think that the building
of jrreat tourist hotels in this section
; would 'destroy much of t'ne charm of
your small hotels and their atmos
phere of personal hospitality."
"I have visited many mountains in
this cnuntry and in Europe, but r.ever
-'have I seen more attractive or bfau
'tiful hills than here. I think of the
development of the park will mean
tiore to Waynesville than to any other
fwn in the surrounding territory, and
'rat the President's visit here will
ve much to do with its completion
'i the r.ear future,'' he continued.
Mr, Brorein is a native of the
northwestern part of Ohio,: and mov
fd to Tampa 36 years ago, where he
tffanized the Peninsula Telephone

There is at least one honet
boy in Waynesville one that
would rival even George Washing

Monday afternoon a little tiglr.-year-old
school boy attempted to
throw an apple over The Moun

a little ,:hoi't, and his apple cra-h-ed
through a window on the ;ec
ond story into the offices uf Mor
gan, Stamey and Ward.
S. H. Bushnell, secretary-treasurer
of the Haywood Building and
Loan Association, who also has
an office on the second floor of
the building, looked nut and in
quired as to what was the matter,
the little boy answered: "I'm the
one who broke your window. 1
tried to throw an apple over Un
building, - and it went into the
Window instead."
The little fellow made no at
tempt to get away, but instead,
-duntoerod to meet Mr. Morgan

Heavy Rains Play
Havoc With Open
ins Days Of Fair
Organized (iroups Have Splendid
Exhihits. Few Individuals
Entered Farm Exhibits
The continued dry weather of last
summer, and the continued downpour
of rain here Tuesday night and
Wednesday morning, played havoc on
tbe opening davs ot the third annual
Haywood County Fair, which is leing,
held on the old Band Mill lot. on the
Dcllwood road.
The summer drought caused agn-
ctiltural exhibits to he cut to a scarce
few. wnile the rain Tuesday night
Hooded the exhibition tents under
twelve inches of water above the
temporary (louring.
The tun late Wednesday afternoon
was welcomed with stniUv from the
semes of show people who were
drenched through and through. Some
,,f the show people explained that
Tuesday mgnt's lain wis t:i wvit
tl.ey had ever cxpci e-noed, hi
poiiited to their matt ress.y alio biles
of clothes drying in the sun.
With fair ' weather the remain ler
,.f the week, fair officials aie lu.peful
of c(ualhiig last vein's cat - receipts.
Two liee a ts are being staged
daily, which is a high jump by Cap
..,;' ll-.rr.s iilio iunms from a ('.0-foot
ladder into a net.
Tomorrow will be one of the big
days of tne fair. It will be livestock
day, with exhibits 'of dairy cattle, beef
cattle, sheep and swine. It will also
be school children day, and all pupils,
when identified bv teachers will In
admitted free. Saturday will be
horse and mule day.
While there w a conspicuous ab
sence of individual exhibits, the
.organized groups and agencies HI
the county made a creditable show
ing. At the center ot the entrance in tne
exhibit building is the exhibition of
ill., licllli department, which would
be a credit to a state fair, in its de
tailed anil complete illustration of the
work under its administration.
The projects f the four 4-11 t tuns
in the count V, representing a memlM-t-
ship of .'00 hovs and girls ot the coun
ty was an outstanding exhibit. In
t'nis connection the calf projects will
be exhibited on Friday. I here ap
peared to be much interest in the,
awarding of the prizes in this group.
The exhibit of the WPA sewing
room, representing !H women from
the sewing rooms of Waynesville,
Cruso. Cecil, Clyde, Canton, and Ha
zelwood, came in for much attention,
both as to the variety of article and
the excellent manner in which they
were made. One garment singled out
was a small boy's suit, made out
of a fertilizer sack, at tne cost of
20 cents.
The Future Farmers of Amen ar
had a display, t hat showed practically
everything that can b-- grown in t .
county, with very good sp-cii'iens of
each variety.' This ha been -in unu
sual year for tbe growing of pump
kin.., if those shown in this exhibit
are an mdicat ion.
Two excellent exhibits in t(.- Live
At Home contest were ytaed by .Mrs,
Fred Henry and Mrs. I'rar-k Leopard,
..bowing vegetables, meats, fruits, and
dairy products.
In the County Home Dcnionst ration
booth was a model farm, and a large
display of canned vegetables, fruits,
and meats, which are entered in the
canning contest.
The Havwoixl (ounty Soil ( onser
vation and Land Use Association had
a splendid exhibit . illustrating erosion
control and better farm methods, with
their slogan. "As the Soil, So the
People." above the bootn.
C. N. Allen & ( ompanv had a dis
play of the furniture made bv the
Unagusta Manufacturing Company,
which would have been a credit to
anv show.
Martin "Electric - Company had a
display that had strong appeal to the
farm women, with the washing ma
chine, korosonil refrigerator, .De.lcp
lighting system for farms, and the
electric pump, to supply the water
from the springs.
Bovd Furniture Company also has
a creditab'e exhibit.
Among the women's work, was also
interesting exhibits by the adult edu
cation group in the county and the
N. Y. L. Club, a group of the girle
of the community.
Of special attraction was tne dis
play of the Land O' The Sky Co-operatives.
Thev had on their shelves
cans of everything canned in this sec
tion, with Mr. L. B. Staples in charge
to explain. Last year the products
from the cannery here, went into 11
states, with as many as 8 return or
ders, without a single turned down
shipment. There were charts show
ing the production per acreage on
some of the areas planted m this
.ounty.
