Stopping Liquor Leaks Proves Bigger Job Than i Andrews Anticipated I Government Threatens to Give up Attempts at Enforcement if Big Drive Falls to Reduce Consumption of Contraband Liquor. Whether it Is merely wet propa ganda or not, rumors concerning the i proposed big prohibition drive by i General Andrews and his rejuvenat- I ed force, .soon t0 be reorganized, say ' that this is to be the final test of en- j forcement. In other words, the program now decided upon must succeed or the government wfcll virtually guve up enforcement as an impossibility. This rumor first appeared about j the time the Coast Guard fleet !be- i gan its vigorous offensive on the At lantic coast. At that time It yjrs said that President Coolidge had rde cided to put all the power of the (ad ministration behind enforcement for one year ? then if satisfactory re move for a modification of the Vol stead law. Last week tw0 separate dispatches sent out by the International News Service repeated this rumor in con nection with the report that several representatives of big business were t0 aid in the new drive as "dollar-a year men." These industrial leaders like the administration, are alarmed over the increase in general lawless ness which is attributed to me grow ing lack of respect for law, due to the Volstead act. It is intimated that they have agreed with General Andrews that the law must be either eiltoteedf or modified, in the interest of national morality. Nearly $30,000,000 is avail able for prohibition enforcement dur ing the present fiscal year and if the plans being made yield satisfactory results still more will be asked fop next year's work. The strange part of the situation, according t0 the current rumor( is that violators are practically notified that if they can manage to defy the government for another year enforce ment will be called off. There may be nothing to this report^ but hints of such an understanding among ad ministration officials have been per sistent for sometime. Indian Chief Names Carolina Town on j Hot Summer Day Striking Cold Water Causes Dusky Leader to Utter Exclamation Which Resulted in Adoption of Towns Name j By Settlers Rev. D. P. Putman left for his home at Cooleemee Tuesday morning after ,bringing to a close on Monday night & series of revival services at the Baptist Church. Rev. Putman Is a former pastor of Rev. Stroup's and i was for twelve years pastor of the First Ba.ptist Church of Cherryvllle, i It was during his pastorate that the present handsome church building at j Cherryville was erected. The fact that Rev. Putman is from . Cooleemee brings to mind the way this little town got its name. An In dian chief years ago stopped there I one hot summer's day and while tak ing a drink of water from the spring said "Cool-ee-me" At the same time another Indian jumped in a nearby river and made the same remark^ "Cool-ee-me."

Chamber of Commerce Supports How To Install Permanent Camp For Boy Scouts at lake Lanier B. L. Ballanger Working With Seait Executives and Laka Lanier la terasts ta Establish Parauaaat Baps Canp aa Vangtu Creek. Work Beguo by 6. R. Gillespie Bears FraiL B. L. Ballenger, President of the Tryon Chamber of Cbmmerce, cooperating with officials of the Piedmont Council of Boy Scouts of America and other representatives of the business interests of the community, has been exceedingly active in an attempt to make the bcout summer camp on Lake Lanier a permanent Institution. Scout Camp On Lake Lanier Active Center For Husky Boys Nine Hundred Boys Haw Visited Vicinity Durini Summer and Mere will Follow. Should be Made Permanent. The Piedmont Council Boy Scout camp at Lake Lanier has been pop ulated to overflowing during the past week with 60 Boy Scouts of Troop 2 and 11 from GaBtonia. Troop 2 from St. Mark's Episcopal Church, and Troop 11 from the Gastonia F^rat Presbyterian Church. After a ten day stay, bathing in the Lake, hiking to the summit of Hog Back and surrounding mountains, attending the Baptist service the first Sabbath and the Presbyterian service last Sunday, the boys In high glee and real boosters for Tryon and Lake Lanier left Monday for home. On Friday night a regular session of the Court of Honor was held at the camp. Scout Executive Schiele, Mr. Fred E. Swann and Scout Com missioner G. R. GVlespie with Scoutmasters Poison and Lafer be ing the Judges. A large number of 3couts were advanced from the ten derfoot to the second class rank and from second to First class. An equally large number passed ful examinations for merit images and Scouts, Semmerell and Brown were declared Eagle Scouts, the high est rank in scouting, and one that is recognized by many of the colleges and universities of America. The State of Texas grants free scholar ships to all Eagle Scouts and they are given preference by all A1 ath letic organizations. Before the Gastonia boys were well started on their way home three other troops, No. 6 from Gas tonia, and one troop each from Spin dale and Cliffslde, in charge of a Methodist and Baptist minister re-1 spectively, arrived to take their places. This last week of the sum* mer camp will be a busy one. It ifi up to the civic and business interests of Tryon and promoters of Lake Lanier .to make this fine camp a permanent one and entertain each summer these 900 boys in broken dose8 as has been so successfully demonstrated this summer. The Tryon troop should be reorgannized and received into the Piedmont Council, them the camp would be in our own Scout territory. A Tryon Scoutmaster is needed. income Tax Will Be . Reduced This Year In All Probability Reduction Eliminates Tax oa Theatre Tickets, Club Duel, aod Many Luxuries and Cuts Income Tax In Two. When citizens of Tryon are again called upon next March to file their income tax returns it is more than likely that they will have to pay but one cent on the dollar, instead of two percent as at present For fig ures have been given President Coolidge showing that a tax cut of $350,000,000 is now warranted, and he has told congressional leaders that he wants this winter's session to lop off income taxes. It is also proposed to eliminate entirely the tax on theater tickets, club dues and a few other things. But the thlnt, that will help thin section most Is the income reduction, and taking off another 1 percent would bring it down to the point where there could be very little room for complaint, since we must raise money to pay for the war. State and County taxes are burdensome, and always will be. So since there appears to be no hope of getting them reduced, let us be thankful for this still fur*-j therreductlon in the taxeB assessed! by Uncle Sam. < ? -- * \ Executive officers of the organisa tion together with Mr. Ballengerf and Lake Lanier officials visited sev eral sites ajong Vaughn's Creek, In search of a place adapted to the erection of permanent buildings and drill grounds The coming of the Boy Scoats through the activities of Mr. Gilles pie, has meant much to Tryon and the vicinity as during the summsr some nine hundred clean cut young gentlemen have spent a portion of their time in the vicinity. Lake Lanier affords an Ideal loca* tion for boys and girls camps and the management has been exceeding ly generous In according every fac ility for furthering such movements. Tryon should take advantage of the opportunity and develop the siimmer camp idea as Brevard* Chimney Rock and other resort towns of Wes tern North Carolina have already done. Mr. Ballenger as President of the Chamber of Commerce ha* cooperat ed In every way possible to develop thl8 Infant industry which will in time help to make Tryon famous as a summering place . O Episcopal Minister Unfrocked Besause of Liberal Views on Religion :A Bishop Brown Convicted of Heresy Who# He Tikes Modernist Standpoint ad Refutes Orthodox Teachings Within & *ew we^ks t*1? caa? Bishop Brown of the Protestant Epis copal Church, convicted of heresy and sentenced to be desposed from his office, wiU come before the House of Bishops for fintl disposition. Bishop Brown rejects the literal interpretations of the scriptures, but (accepts them as an allegorical pre sentation of moral and spiritual truths. His trial a few months ago attracted wide attention *nd *!?? ac' tion of the House of Bishops will also be a matter of considerable interest, although there appears to be con firmed. Many clergymen who are leaders in the growing Modernist movement hojd some view8 in accord with Bish op Brown, but none has been so out spoken as he in publicly stating chem. From the Fundamentalist standpoint there are many heretics occupying Christian pulpits today. While trials for heresy have been few in American churches, the prob lem of dealing with heretics has en gaged the attention of ecclesiastical authorities from the early days of Christianity. The stern methods idopted for the suppression of heresy during the Middle Ages reached their height of ferocity through the instru mentality of the Spanish Inquisition, established in 1480. During the continuance of that ter rible system, compilations from the records show that not less than II, 912 person8 were burnt alive, while 291,450 suffered imprisonment and tortures worse than death. A striking fact connected with the history of heresy is that the heretic of one age may become the saint of a later day. This is illustrated by the case of Joan of Arc, who was burnt at the stake in the streets of Rouen on May, 30, 1411. Her sen tence wag "revoked" by the Pope on July 7, 1456 (more than 25 years af ter her dectli) and she was beautifi ed by a later Pope at Rome on April 18. 1009. It has been pointed out that Christ was put to death because of teach ings considered heretical by the ec clesiastics of his time. o ? Mr. and Mrs. J. Lander Gray Miss Mary Shephard Gray and Mr. W.
