MATiriWAi fniTGRIAL iMSOCIAIlON There Are Six Now We know that the casualty list of Hay wood County boys will grow. That it has only begun. Yet when the names are added it gives one a shock, like an' unexpected blow. It is the ultimate price of war. At the time this is written the list stands at six, but ere the time this is printed it may have grown. No homage is too great for these boys who have left their homes to protect them from the ravages of war and the enemy, and who will not come back to enjoy them It is difficult to put in words the humble spirit of the civilian as he contemplates the supreme sacrifice they have made that life may "continue in the American way. THE WAYNESVILLE MOUNTAINEER OUIOPLEASE! Response xNorth Carolina PMSS ASSOC1A110NJ91 GtfAKDW.. (One Day Nearer Victory) THURSDAY, OCTOBER WaUaceShould OnPanAmerW TJ.. -.. . ... Voice OF THE People THURSDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1912 (One Day Nearer Victory) The Mica Boom We are indebted to Thad I). Bryson, Jr., for the informative article on the front page about the mica situation in the country, brought about by the stimulus of war needs and the cutting off of foreign sources. The old adage that "It is an ill wind that blows nobody any good" is again proven to be true in respect to the necessity for developing the latest resources of the rich mica vein which runs through North Carolina, be ginning in Mitchell, Yancey and Avery, and running through Haywood, Jackson and Macon." .''.'.'- For too long the mica miners have been operating in a wasteful and haphazard way, due in part to lack of capital for machinery and equipment. Now that the Colonial cor poration has been formed under the direc tion of the government, there is opportunity for this county to benefit from the mica boom brought about by the war and to con tinue the industry1 on. a stabftzed basis after the war. If owners and operators have the vision and spirit of cooperation necessary for any large scale development, they will start a new day for the county in develop ing raw material possibilities, Much of the pioneer promotional work that has helped the present development has been due to the moving spirit behind the publication of the South East Miner at Ashe ville, Isaac Van Horn, who has given his service as editor, and has had faith that the great undeveloped mineral resources of Western North Carolina would some day come into their own. His faith and work in regard to mica is now being rewarded. When he started the publication seven years ago, he states that he was advised there was no field for a "mining publication" in this section because it was not a "mining country. In an editorial on The Mica Situation in the July issue of the publication, Mr. Van Horn closes with these paragraphs: "It has always been claimed by this pub lication that the varied mineral resources were here in abundance, to furnish the raw materials for a great mining and processing and manufacturing industry, but venture some capital, so called, has never been avail able in large quantity because of lack of mining-mindedness by the local people, this is very unfortunate. "But suddenly we find because of the war that as a nation we have been depending on imports for too many minerals and because of this, the government itself is moving in "The move has now been made on mica and other products, might this publication and those of like mind, be also right about the building of a great magnesium indus try ?" The Franklin Press. Response for any appeal is always grati lying, but when it is for a cause as vital as the sale of war bonds and stamps, and the collection of scrap, it stirs one's patrio tism to see what is taking place in Haywood County, When we consider the number of men in the service from Haywood County, it Would not be right for it to be any other way, than for the folks back home to carry on while the boys are at the front Yet often people let each other down in critical moments, and those who make a sacrifice find the other fellow allowing him to carry the load unsupported. But not so the civilian in Haywood Coun ty. He is not wearing a uniform, but is serving in the great army back home as surely as the boy in camp, somewhere in the Pacific, in Australia, in Ireland, or some where in England. It is gratifying to see that the spirit of V "isj? . Are you satisfied with our War Effort to date?

Do Tar Heels Gossip? Improvement The projection of the high embankment on Boyd avenue near the approach to the Waynesville high school grounds has offered a traffic hazard made more dangerous by the intersection of two streets. We note with relief that it is being cut down, and the street widened. It will give the motorist a better vision of what to ex pect ahead of him and will give more room for the passing of cars at a point that holds dangerous possibilities. We also feel greatly relieved when we contemplate the hundreds of children that walk and ride the school buses that have to make that sharp curve. Josephus Daniels returned the glove that H. E. fl.
