NEWS ITESVJS FR0SV3 Notes Relative to the Tryon Ther- a ' i mameii. Visited the premises of J. H. Turner and James Butler, and found that on the branches at the foot of the mountain and in low places there were signs of slight frost during the late, cold waves. But a little jup the mountain side, Irish potato tops and beans tand other tender vegetables were . unharmed. I also found no damage whatever to apples, peaches, spears, plums, cherries and quinces, which were growing in profusion. The very small peach trees were loaded as well as the old ones. This section of the Thermal belt is in the cove above what is known as the Horse Shoe Bend of the Southern Jlail Road fill, about one mile west of Try on. N. C. I then crossed the valley to a section of the same belt, under the brow of Big Warrior mountain, owned and operated by captain W. fT. Lind sey, Tryon, N. C. Here I found practically the same . conditions as in the Horse Shoe Bend Cove. Apples, peaches, and grapes en-J tirely without injury either by wind, freeze or frost. I then descended to the lower levels where I found more or less dam age to all-the above named fruits At Dr. von Kahalden's orchard and vineyard. There was in the low lands along the small branches, slight sign of frost, on grape vines and apples almost a failure. There was slight sign of wind in the vine yard; but the effect was entirely -1 .V J. F. Black's orchard and vine yard, and found no damage by ireeze, irost or wina It is questioned by many whether there be a thermal belt in Polk county, and to all ''Doubting Thomases' ' I challenge them to set the day and meet me in Tryon and let me make proof by tak ing you through the belt, both above and below, where you may see for yourself. This is one of many years that will, show so conclusively, not only that there is such a thing; but exactly where it is. Anyone desiring to locate an orchard or jrineyaYd in this belt would do well to make investigation this year! In years when fruit ful every where, it is is plenti- difficult to find where this belt begins and where it quits off; but this year the line of distinction as very clearly shown. Of course there are peaches, apples and grapes in sheltered sections outside of the thermal belt; but in the belt these fruits are common and plentiful. And orchard and vine yard owners in this belt, who nave cared properly .for their trees and vines will reap a rich reward this year. I am aware that other sections of the moun tains claim thermal belts; and in as slight degree they exist. In Henderson, Buncombe, Hay wood, Madison and perhaps all the mountain counties in a very limited way have little pockets of favored places; but there is but one great thermal belt in m ur great mountain section and e neart of this . is . along the oot of the Polk county moun tains extending into South Caro- ano- northeastwardly but - marked anywhere as in 1U1K county. When one visits 5 mountains and see their con duction and relation to each Other ?f i . . - - . .. -. becomes plain, where in unaamental reason lies for thermal belt. It is here al HERE AND THERE growers up in the cold climates knew what I know about it, and if wealthy health seekers' knew the health giving qualities, of this climate; they would break their necks boarding trains to get liere.

To The Voters of Tryon Graded School District Attention of the public is called to the regular, election on May 3rd, this election will give oppor tunity to safeguard our interest by electing those who will serye best on the tioard of trustees for Tryon graded school. -The time has come for the people of the town of Tryon to open tneir eyes ana neip our children secure" the education that is justly due them. On these young sons and daughters will devolve the heritage of cares and responsibilities of commuuity, States and Nation. Your trus tees are the guardians elected to see this duty well done. We see families leave our town each year for other schools, saying as they go that our scoool is not what it should be, others are saying that they will go unless the school is improved. What can we do to improve our school and make it a credit to our town. 1. Employ teacners who will coperate with each other and patrons of the school. 2. Bring together the patrons, teachers and trustees in common accord by house to house talks, public gatherings or otner meth- odsvvith a view of establishing close cooperation for school im provement. 3.'
