MORE ABOUT New Book (Continued trom 1'age 1) To get the raw material for his story, Mr. Parris .spent several years "off and on" in research. His hunt for authentic details took him to the historic South Carolina Slate Medical College at Charleston, the scene of his hero's early studies. His search alio took him to somewhat hallowed ground, which few people have ever entered. This is the 250.00001 ume historical col lection stored in Asheville. The result of the efforts of an Englishman, this collection contains valuable information on western North Carolina's history. For his novel, Mr. Parris is find ing his own experience as a news paper reporter in Sjlva a mine of information in itself. His work with the Sylva Herald in the early '30 s started him off on the tiail to his current position as an international correspondent. One night be attended a service at a small rural chinch. Right af ter the serviie ended, he rushed back to his desk, typed his report, and "filed" it lo the Associated Press bureau in Charlotte. "I thought sure they were going to jump on me for telegraphing 350 words." he recalled. The next day, he got a telephone call from the Charlotte bureau. "Keep on that story," the bureau chief ordered. That was the story of the preach er who handled a poisonous snake during the services. It was prob ably the first news story of its kind ever written. His account was published in newspapers throughout the United States and Furope. Before it ended, the young news man was writing accounts of the snake-handling preacher for a half dozen national and international press .services, and as many of llic nation's largest daily newspapers. "Some of Ihe big Northern papers sent their special writers clown here lo interview the minis ter," he smiled, "but he tedd them if thev wauled any information they'd have lo gel il from me." That was -a spectacular piece of newspaper work. But be is the author of scores of feature stories that threw more light on the history and customs of western North Carolina people both whites and Indians. Gelling Ihe facts wasn't just a mailer of picking up a telephone. To gel the material for one of his many leal tires about Ihe Chero kee's, he drove about 20 miles over rough mountain roads till the roads vanished. Then be left bis car and walked seven more rugged miles over a mountain trail to the home of the medicine man he wanted to inter view. Other times, be had to dig out his story through the tedious method of using an interpreter, for some of his subjects spoke nothing but Cherokee. mis is the way he got what is probably one of the most interest ing stories that has never been written. It was his interview with a Cher okee woman who bad taken part in the tribe's tragic march they were forced to make to the Indian Ter ritory of Oklahoma by General Winfield Scott's soldiers. Mr. Parris could not find the time to write the story before the woman died a few years ago, at the age of 114, but he still has the notes and the photos. Mr. Parris has drawn a lot of material from these hills over the last 20 years, but, he believes, there is plcnly more where that came from. "It's a gold mine," he said, his eyes alight. The veteran wriler has covered most of the world in his search for news. He's considered something of an authority on Yugoslavia, from the time of its heroic resistance to the Nazis, to the present.

Speaking to him about this moun tain country, it's hard to believe that be was born and raised here, for it is almost consistently the newcomer who shows the deepest interest. But he .still has the burning interest of the man who has just discovered a new, rich land. And his interest is infectious.
