OH, YEAH
(Tri-County News)
Many exaggerated statements
about this section of the country
have appeared in newspapers of the
North from time to time, but an ac
count in the Barlboro (New Hamp
shire) Sentinel tops all of them in
leaving the impression that the
rare conditions are the rule. This
newspaper account allegedly re
ported a talk made before the wo
man's society of the first Congre
gational church of that city by
Miss Marguerite Hammond, who
lived in Spruce Pine for three years
with her parents when her father,
W. D. Hammond, was chemist for
the Southern Feldspar company at
Toecane. The article follows in
part:
"Miss Marguerite Hammond, of
Marlboro, formerly of Keene, gave
an interesting account of three
years work among mountaineers in
Spruce Pine, North Carolina, at the
program meeting of the Woman's
society of the First Congregational
church, Wednesday afternoon, in
the parish house. More than 75
women attended, Mrs. Willis E.
Smith led the devotions. Flute
solos were played by Miss Arlene
Ames, of Keen High school, ac
companied on the piano by her
mother, Mrs. Robie Ames.
"Miss Hammond described a typ
ical North Carolina home of from
one to three rooms, unpainted, built
of logs, with no cellar, no doors
inside, one small window and usu
ally with only one floor. The walls
are covered with newspapers. The
stove is made of a tar barrel.
There is an outdoor fireplace used
to make molasses, she said. The
washing is done out of doors and
hung to dry on nearby bushes. All
adults chew tobacco. The boys
help out the family fuel supply by
throwing tomatoes and rotten ap
ples at the coal trains as they pass
through. Coal is in turn thrown
at them and the boys gather it af
terward to take home.
"The settlement of personal
quarrels on the street is of common
occurrence and offenders are treat
ed lightly in spite of the some
times serious consequences of the
fray...
"The speaker stated that high
way construction is done entirely
by convict labor, the men being
paid a small wage, part of which is
sent to their families and part
saved to give them a start when
their term of imprisonment is
ended.
"Miss' Hammond said there are
many churches, mostly of the Bap
tist and ' Presbyterian denomina
tions, and she described the rein
gious fervor which prevailed in
their meetings which are of long
duration.
"Mrs. Conrad A. Adams presided
at a short business meeting. Re
freshments were served by the
hostesses, Mrs, B. Norton Foster,
Mrs. Lowell J. Aran, Mis. Earle C.
Quinby and Mrs. Charles F. Fletch
er." The editor of The Tri-County
News has lived about half of the
time during the last thirty years
in this section, and the rest of
that time in Chicago, Cleveland,
Washington, and New York. At
present he spends one week at his
home in Spruce Pine and the al
ternate weeks in business in New
York.
Based on this experience, it
seems entirely safe to say there is
at least as much poverty, suffering
and squalor in these cities as there
is in the poorest communities of
this section, In fact, the housing of
the majority of the people in these ;
and other great centers, is far
worse than all except the most ex
treme local cases.
There are many inadequate
homes in all of the North Carolina
mountains, just as there are every
where. But a log cabin is as rare
here as it is in New Hampshire,
probably more so, since many sum- ;
mer homes there are of logs.
The item about the boys throw
ing ancient fruit and vegetables
at the coal trains to draw a return
fire of fuel , probably did happen
once or twice when Miss Hammond
saw it. But whoever saw a Clinch
field brakeman riding a loaded
coal car, let alone throwing coal
from It?
When it comes to work on the
highways, the convicts are used
only for maintenance. All con

Talks such as these, even though
the reporter picks up some stray
ideas from them to publish, do the
speaker no good. They certainly
leave the listeners in areas where
conditions are in many ways worse
than they are in these mountains
an entirely false idea.

from that section to this part of
