WELCOME TO YOU, MR. WRIGHT
? I .
While 1 'a dreamer may live forever' ' as a popular poet asserts,
it takes a man of initiative and resourcefulness to materialize the
vision of the idealist and you, Mr. Wright, in your initial appear
ance before p, Tryon audience, demonstrated the fact that you pos
eased those essential qualifications? and we believe that you can
make Lake Lanier a reality, instead of an empheral possibility "
You talk convincingly, Mr. Wright. We believe that you
meant every wdrd you said when you delineated yonr pians for the
consideration of our residents. We believe that you have accom
plished big things in Hendersonville. We wish you every success
in Tryon. \
We know Noah Holiowell. No editor in North Carolina is
more carefully conservative than the owner of the Hendersonville
News. His endorsement of a man or movement carries weight in
the Fourth Estate. When he says 4 'Wright is right"? we will
take his word for it. Nothing under the sun, moon or stars would
induce him to knowingly misrepresent anything. So much fori
that!
i ?
Certainly ^ou can count upon the co-operation of this paper
to the limit. We pelieve in Tryon and have faith in < its future
growth and development. In our opinion there is no place any
where that has greater possibilities. The sooner those possibilities
become realities, the better off we will be. ! You are showing us
the way? and you a>e WELCOME.
< , SCANDAL OR BIOGRAPHY
When you tell things about the private aflairs of ordinary
people during their lives, it is scandal. But when you write the
same sort of stufl about great men after they are dead, is is biog
raphy.
BOOSTING THE COUNTRY
Some writers make quite a job of ridiculing Chambers . of
Commerce. Kiwanis clubs and other like organizations because
they exist to "boost" their home communities. ' t ? '
But after all aren't some of these self- appointed guardians
of culture a bit superficial? The editor is of the /opinion that a
broad view of this American characteristic? pride in the home
town? will convince one that it has a very definite and valuable
place in the upbuilding of a better country.
Before we can have improvement we must have pride'
The old well known sayingmightbechanged to read, "Pride goeth
before improvement." And "Boosting" is merely an expression
of pride.
Think what it means to have thousands of small cities scat
tered throughout the width and breadth of the land all "boosting"
to build themselves up industrially, commercially, and intellectually.
We ckn conclude the word intellectually, because before we have
culture we miist have prosperity? before a nation can set about
the task of improving itself mentally^ its ciiizens must first be
prosperous and comfortable.
The speed of growth and development in our country is
amazing? it is one of the greatest romances of all history. And
^ne thing that; has contributed much to this development is the
' - pride good citizens take everywhere in the progress of their com
munities. - " . % "
i So to those citizens of Tfyon who are proud of the town and
ready to boost everything that makes for progress we |ay; Keep
on. You are contributing your bit to the improvement of your
town? and to the growth- and upbuilding of our nation. N
/ In spite of lowering clouds and rolling thunder some seventy
five of the county's most solid citizens gathered at Boxwood Inn,
Cojumbus, Wednesday evening to formulate a plan for a cotinty
wide organization which will build up and develop the natural
resources and exploit the advantages' of the best section of West
ern North Carolina.
Lack of cooperative effort has been all too evident in the
past and this the Polk County Club hopes to remedy by,, bringing

Straight Dope From
the State Capital
By M. L. 3HIPMAN
Raleigh, N. C., March 16,? The cer>
monies marking the close of the
General Assembly were interesting
as they most always are. Scarcely
one of the 169 men and one woman
who had been here for sixty-three
days fighting, stnigglng, worrying
and arguing on the floors of the two
chambers but felt an odd tightening
in the throat when the gavel in the
two houses fell at precisely the same
moment and the General Assembly
of 1925 was declared adjourned sine
die at eleven thirty on Tuesday eve
ing, March 10th. The two halls ft
the Assembly are -exactly opposite
wtth the rotunda of the building in
tervening. The two doors were
swung wide open, the President of
the Senate and the Speaker of the
House stood gavels in hand ready
for the final "drop". The reading
clerks called the rolls, slowly 7 and
solemnly, the answers #of the mem
bers lined along each side of the
desks to the doors were echoed faint
ly in both chambers. Simultaneously
wi;h the reponse to the last name
called the tw0 gavels fell with a
thud the members waked up, told
one another goodbye and it was all
over for another two years, unless
an emergency shall arise which nec
essitates another special session.
The oalendars of both houses were
cleared qf all important bills and
the members went home with full
assurance that they had completed
the Job. Bills were put through with
suprislngly rapidity <uring the
closing days of the session and
state officialdom is busy trying to
ascerain exactly what has been
done to them. Some of those holding
major, and, others occupying minor
positions, are "rfjfchtly disfigured
but still in the ring." The sUte and
Insurance departrents no longer ex
ercise the privilege of collecting rev.
enues, otherwise their activities will
be unhampered by any act of the
General Assembly, barring the
transfer of the supervision i of the
"Blue Sky Law" from the Insurance
Department to the Corporation Com
mission. This was recommended by
Commissioner Wade early in the
session and he is shedding no tears
over th*. passing from his hand of
an agency which has bred trouble
from the very beginning of its opera,
tions in the State.
Diffeences between the Senate
and House of Representatives over
the Revenue Act were adjusted late
Tuesday afternoon when the House
practically capitulated to the upper
branch of the Assembly. The two
branches also, finally found them
selves in agreement touching the
provisions of the. bill carrying ap
propriations to the various State
charitable,- penal and educational
institutions, but the NeUles bill pro.
viding increase in the pension fund
for the benefit of ex-confederate
soldiers and the widows met its
Waterloo in the Senate through
parlimenbory tactics started by Bur
gwyn, of Northhampton, who pro
posed a tax of one cent of theatre
tickets provided in the Nettles bill.
"Class legislation'* was the cry of
the opposition to the House bill and
survivors of the "days which tried
men's soul?" will have to struggle
along on the small pittance- which
has been doled out to them -during
the last biennial period. And that is
a reason. The line is rapidly ' thin,
ing, and the influence in politics is
no longer a factor to be reckoned
with. The legislators say fine things
about his valor and deeds of daring
but vote additional appropriations
to institutions the very existance of
which is due fa the courageous stand
of these men in their early manhood
and through the years that lave fol
lowed the historical event at Appo
mattox. v
Repeated attempts to put through
a bill permitting State Treasurer B.
R. Lacy to retire on half $ay were
defeated in the House mainly on a
ccount of the precedent it would set
up? And further, because this Gen
eral Assembly made up its mind
early in the season *? ,,<mt out non
essentials." The time-honored custom
of paying janitors^ firemen^ watch,
men and laborers connected with
t&m State departments for extra ser
vice during session of- the previous
gneral Assemblies wore not observed
this time, only the Capitol telephone
operator apd the sub-station' post*
matser receiving ^ "bonus" at the
hands of this legislature. All other
"bonus" bills presented promptly
found their way to' the "unfafovable
calendar" or to the table. The table
was V literally loaded with instri.
ments of this character when the
some of legislative activities was fin
I ally cleared away. Employees of the
General early days of the session,
when the door was shut against
those regularly employed in the
various State departments, *1^^

Holllns N. Randolph^ President of
die ' Stone Mountain Confederate
Momumentai Association, 'Tuesday
tare out the following; \v y , / ^
"The Association, is making good
progress toward the employment of
a sculptor to carry on the Stone
Mountain Memorial In Oils connec
tion we wish to make it plain that
the way is open for any compe
tent sculptor in the. world- to ake up
the work. Statements to the effect
that- ethics of the profession a' and
In the way are j>erfectly absurd.
"There are many sculptors who
are thoroughly Qualified to carre
this monument to the valor of
Southern soldiers and who ^ stand
ready and willing to do so. The
Association has under considera
tion the names of a large number
who haYe been highly recommen
ded. Among these are sereral
Southern sculptors. There is a
strong desire in the South for the
Association to employ a Southern
sculptor, all other considerations
being equal.
"Some ninety days ago Mr Sam
uel I H. Venable, one of the donors
of the Mountain^ submitted to our
General Consel, Mr. Reuben R. Ar
nold, a list of some for y sculptors,
any one of whom, in the opinion of
Mn Venablee was better qualified
than Qutxen Gdrglum. In submitting
this list Mr. fenable stated tiat Bor
glum'g con^noug and persistent neg.
lect of the work at Stone Mountain
would make it necessary sooner or
later, to cancel his contract, there

time by the forelock by giving the
Association the benefit of a > long
list from which to make a selection.

whole field and make a careful
selection and thg public may rest
assured that this Memorial hence
forth will be in safe, worthy and

Costa for repair and replacement
of farm machinery made necessary
by rot and rn&t are only half of the
story. Of course, failure to paint
farm Implements may bring de
preciation bp to as much as 25 per
cent a year, whereas, with proper
oare, tiie machinery wonld last in
finitely. This truth is proved by the
fctqi that on many farms there are
binders, mowers, threshing mach
ines, grain drills, wagons and other
equipment that have been in use
for thirty to fifty- 'years.
But even so, this is only half the
story? other losses may result that
are aa great, or even greater, than
the cost of depreciation.
Further losses to farmers are
apt to occur, due to t dampness in
barns, corn cribs and other places
used for cpop storage, unless these
structures are proporiy painted.
Hay, for intjmce, is a bulky " crop,
but it must be stored inside be
cause it is too valuable at $18.00 to
120.00 a ton to put up in racks.
Water leaking though the roof or
sidewall of the harn where the hay
is stored can cause a great deal^of
damage. A good coat of paint on
all buildings used for storing pro
ducts of the soil will protect and
conserve them.
Again,; weltoainted fapm imple
ments and machinery attract the
best type of labor. Equipment is
given better care by farm workers
at the same time enabling them to
do a full day's work. After farm
eqtnpment has been -repaired and
and painted even the most careless
workman will be more careful with
his outfit The "hands" on the
farm where machinery is kept in
good repair >ad painted take pride
In keeping things "shipshape" and
every farmer knows how much
farm laborers can save by care and
precaution in handling equipment.
Palpt has both physical and physho
gical effects, of faming. Good busi
ness methods hi farming are be
coming more and more essential,
and paint is good business.

A
Treasure Hoarded in All
Countries but India Has
Immense Quantities.
Washington. ? \yho has all tbe fold?
The United States has the great
bulk of the gold that It in actual live
ly circulation, but this Is only a small
part of tbe gold that is known to be
In existence.
Thus far the best answer to the
question has been furnished bj the
experts of the United States mint, who
assert tbat since Christopher Colum
bus discovered America in 1492 tbe
world has dug up gold to the value of
?3,065,000,000, or $20,000,000,000.
Now since gold does not decay or
wear out appreciably it is argued
that tbe vast bulk of this Is still In
actual existence. But the* authorities
of tbe United States mint ' say tbat
they can trace in actual circulation in
the various countries only $9,210,000,
000. By the painful operation of sub
traction we learn that some $10,615,
000,000 In pure gold has disappeared
from view.
Use Hi the Arts.
Perhaps $5,000,000,000 of it has
been converted .into gold ornaments
of various sorts. Goldsmiths with a
taste for sntlquarlan research regard
Ave billion as the very' outside figure
as r.n estimate of the gold "con
sumed" in the arts. Granting that
this estimate Is sound, this leaves
about $5,615,000,000 which has com
pletely disappeared from vlewl
Joseph ?S. McCoy of the United
States treasury says foreign-born citi
zens ? * tbe United States have se
questered at least $225,000,000 In gold,
