Mrs. Fisher met her death when she came in contact with an electric wire while she was on her way to a barn to milk a cow.

She was well known for her deeds of kindness and her charity. Surviving are her husband; nine children as follows: Mas. Roy Ray, of Hazelwood, Floyd Fisher. John Fisher, and Sirs. Edith Stiles, all of Waynesville, R. W. Fisher, of the BIN COM BE COUNTY'S POLICE Editor, The Mountaineer. Dear Sir: On the afternoon of August 27, 1 left Waynesville at three p. in. to drive to Charlotte and back on a business trip. With me were two sons of one of our county's leading busines men and farmers. About four hundred yards beyond the intersection of the Candler high way and Federal Highways 19 and 2o we were overtaken by Patrolman J. M. Coffey, of the Buncombe county rural police. He followed behind us until we reached the fcnka highway and there we were stopped by traffic, then he rode up beside us and ordered us to pull off the highway, which we did. We were informed, in a disgusting ly, arrogant manner, that we weiv exceeding the speed law and o-der-ed to proceed Patrolman Coffey into town and to Justice Digges' office, j About two miles farther down tbe I road we were again ordered Lu the side of the road and informed by Patrolman Coffey that unless we could hold down to forty-five miles per hour, he would get in and drive it himself. We were informed that we were go ing sixty-five miles per hour, but our speedometer never did get bo yond forty-seven mile pev hour and that rolling down hill and the ear in gear. Finally we reached Justice of the Peace Digges, otlicu And a warrant was issued charging speeding. I re quested that 1 be allowed to plead guilty and pay my line, if any, for exceeding the speed limit in' the amount of ten miles per hour and that 1 be allowed to go on my way as soon as possible. Patrolman Coffey was not satisfied with that but began explaining that I had passed him at seventy-five miles. an Hour and that 1 was running at the rate of sixty-live miles an hour after he arrested me. My speedometei was never over fifty-live miles per hour anil ..standing on forty-seven when lie said 1 was doing sixty-live I'atlolman Coffey -.misrepresented facts of the case while on the stand in an informal hearing when then was absolutely no reason whatever because 1 had pleaded guilty as charged, except in the amount of ex cess speed. His conduct when he stopped- me ana manner tnrougliout the case was a disgrace to the county and state that he represents. One would have thought out -on the highway that I was a desperate char acter and should have been shot down at sight. It seems to me that an of ficer of the law should be courteous, but firm with an offender, but never overbearing nor bullish. Possibly that is a part solution to the fact that so many of our police officers are shot down in supposedly cold blood. I am not criticising Patrolman Coffey for arresting me for speeding. 1 am aware of the fact (more so now), that I drive too fast, but I do criticise him for the manner in which he makes his arrests and the calibre of., his testimony while on the stand. I have written this statement of facts with the hope that it Will serve as a warning to other motorists, whether summer visitors, your wife and friends or mine, to beware of Buncombe county's rural police traps. Sincerely, M. D. WATKKINS. Harold Francis, state president of Future Farmers of America, will speak over WWXC at 1 o'clock on Saturday the 3rd. While his talk will be directed to the 10,000 members of the Future Farmers in this state, it will be of interest to the general public. Young Francis is a member of the Smoky Mountains National Park chapter, of Waynesville, and has serv ed his chapter before becoming iden tified w ith the state group, of which j he was secretary before his election this spring to the presidency. He leaves next Thursday for State Col lege, where he will take courses lead ing to a B. S. in agricultural educa tion. He plans to prepare himself to teach vocational agriculture. S.C. Voters Turn ! Thumbs Down On j FDR's Request The predictions of Judge W, H. Grimball, of Charleston, and summer resident of Waynesville. who is a keen student of political affairs of his native state, have come true. Sen ator Ellison D. Smith, has won the lenomination, leading according to last reports by a 29,000 majority. Senator Smith, 72, has been a mem ber of. the senate since 1909 and is the first conservative Democrat to face the polls as a foe of the New Deal. South Carolina's blow to the Presi dent's campaigning and his political prestige has set Doliticians and tha followers of the New Deal through out the nation seriously contemplat ing the outcome of other conserva tives who are running without the support of the president. that a much larger number will attend the Assembly next year. In addition, a goodly number of Smoky Mountains tourists stopped over at the Lake. Surely attendance at the Lake will tie doubled within a few years. The food and other supplies for Junaluska are purchased from Way nesville and Haywood county people. Professional service is secured main ly in Waynesville. There is only one very serious prob lem now at the Assembly: The sewage which enters the Lake through Rich land Creek. How gratified the trustees were to realize that release from this situa tion has been offered by the Federal Government in a proposed grant ami loan. What a needed service to Juna luska can now be given by the voters of Waynesville and Hazelwood! W. A. LAMBETH. President. Methodist Assembly, Inc., Lake Junaluska, N. C. K. Poteate Guest Soloist Hendersonville Church Edwin Poteate, member of the choir of the First Methodist church, well known young baritone of Waynesville, was the guest soloist in the First Presbyterian chuvrch of Henderson ville, last Sunday, at the morning ser vice. Mr. Poteate was extended the invitation by Alva H. Lowe, director of music in that church. He sang "Lost Chord," by Sir Arthur Sullivan, and will sing again in the near fur ture in Hendersonville. Haywood County Men Enlist For U. S. Service The following enlistments from Haywood county were made during the (last week at the United States Army recruiting station in Asheville: Karl A. Garran, of Canton, for coast artillery, Panama; im K. Eaverson, Waynesville, coast artillery, Panama; Horace L. lirookshirc, Canton, field artillery, Ft, Bragg.

MEDFORD. We Can Meet Your Needs For School Shoes Editor The Mountaineer.' Dear Sir: The Junaluska trustees met on yes terday at the close of a season which has been most gratifying to them. Ap proximately 10,000 people have been at the Lake during June, July and August. The books at the Lake bal anced in the black, and not in the red, though not very black. The trustees believe that an even greater day for Junaluska is just around the corner, Some Methodists f rom the North attended the Assem bly this year. With the consumation of unification next April, it is likely police department, of Asheville, Jesse M. Fisher, of the Asheville fire depart ment, and Roy D. Fisher, also of Asheville; Ellis D.
