TO START SUBDIVISION
b ?o? t
filanton & Stearns, Polk County's
.ending real estate dealers, have purchased
several tracts of land east of
Lynn for a new subdivision from If. 1
? . Cannon, and Tucker of Lynn, J. j
II. and Gordon II. Pucker of Asherille
and Cla'yton Constance of Co- '
lumbus.
These traces will Jtfve considekthle
frontage on the south side of
State highway No. 19, east of Lynn
ind will have a most wonderful out- '
look to th'(. whole range of mountains
from Hogback to White Oak and the
ralley intervening. In the develop- '
aient the whole front.-ute will be a 1
parkway beautified with shrubbery '
md trees for the use of the resi- 1
dents.
There will be attractive auto ap- 1
proaches at each end of the property '
with a forty foot boulevard encircling
the property from which other '
streets wil] radiate to generous sized
homesites. This is not to be a '
speculative proposition but a home '
creating sale of sensibly restricted 1
sites within a ten minute drive of '
the county seat or Tryon.
Blanton & Stearns wll soon offer 1
prizes for a name for this subdivi- '
sion, also for street names and for
building homes. ]

of light automobile trucks. Chevrolet
s figure prominently - 4n fleets
recently purchased by mine operators '
in South America.
Centuries ago the Ineas first developed
these mines located in the
most inaccessible inland ranges. The
Spanish couquistadores, envious of
the Indians' wealth, mad,, short work
of reducing the native population to
a condition of slavery and supervisig
the production of gold. In later
years silver and (it. have been the
most profitable metals produced in
Bolivia, with operations seriously
handicapped by the in.iccessibilty of
the mining sites.
t'ntil a yt ar ago burros and llamas,
carrying a maximum load of 100
pounds each and traveling only 20
miles daily were relied upon to transport
supplies t(> the sky-line operat- '
ing renters and to carry down to
so.. bound and railroads the refined ^
metals, enormously heavy even in 0
small quantities. Improvements in o
mining practice wore impossible un- d
il beter distributing methods were E
ivailable.
Notwithstanding roads which were ^

ordinarily loses 30 to 35 percent

Chevrolet trucks have practically supleded

The formal opening of the new j fr<

(tiown as "Greenville Day." This j
iew route shortens the distance from on
Iroenville and points south ad west, J ''<1
ifteen or sixteen miles. Those who j
Irove the road on Saturday of last | ""

lanorama constantly unfolded to

<o well graded and in such good
condition that there are no difficult
Iriving spots.
The weather conditions were especially
favorable both days and
tcores of people front Greenville and

lie top of the Mountain looking over

in connection with it.
A swimming pooj two hundred feet I

trails are some of the sports pro- |U

(From Greensboro News)
"The outstanding feature and the
unescupahle fact al>out the situation
here is the strength of feeling
against the United States." It is
Frank It. Kent's cabl(, from Paris to
the Baltimore Sun. It carries, particulate
to North Carolinians, ntore
weight than the report of any other
American observer, for Nortli Carolinians
know that in Mr. Kent's recent
series of articles upon this
state and other states in the south
he write with a remarkable degree
of accuracy. Hp is here reporting
what has been reported before. It
cannot be ignore d by anyone who
searches facts. Mr. Kent, for instance.
was writuig immediately aft
or the Clomenceau letter, which "was
spread nvi every newspaper and
liroadeast by radio to every corner
of France. In all save the Communist
organ and one other was hailed
_ as 'the vocie of France.'"
h Yet lie is not judging by that
e alone. He sees the signs in newsy
papers, music halls, cabarets and
11 cartoons.
These are factors not to he ovcr~
whelmed by the figures in the ac||
count lxioks. The debts are there.
[J Nobody can deny that. Rut it is just
as futile to attempt to deny the
state of mind of a nation when that
state of mind assumes the status
of an imponderable. The French are
not interested in facts as this country
records them. They are vitally
interested in what is to them the
p- greater fact, overshadowing*. and
te overwhelming all others?the plight
;n of their country. Nor is it of any
is valut, to point out to them their
in share of responsibility for that
II- plight. Suppose, says Mr. Kent, the
in shoe were on the other foot:
is Few fair persons/would doubt that
;s if the positions of France and Amu
erica were reversed, if France were
y the creditor and we the debtor, if it
worn the franc that was up and the
dollar down an dif it were our taxes
that wer mounting instead of theirs,
that our country and our press would
ring with denunciation of the awful
Eavariciousness of France in demanding
her pound of flesh and of the
iniquity of the attempt to place us
in a condition of economic slavery
ie for generations to come.
n Our tight-lipped President, who
'n once said on the subject of the
'c French debt, "Well, they hired the
5'| money, didn't they?" would sing an11
i other tune. So would his secretary

is no foolish fancy in France. When
virtually a whole nation thiks a
set of circumstacens is thus and so,
the set of circumstances actually
becomes thus and so for that nation;
nor are the circumstances to
be removed by the application of
hard logic. The Cleinenceau letter
was reeking with false allusions and
inaccurate deductions. Yet it spoke
with the voice of a race. It may be
absurd but there it sands. There
it will continue to stand.
There are those in Washington,
the Daily (News' bureau 'reports, ?
who see th*> debts question
everlasting cause of discontent."*
The statement is mild. Presenting
arguments to a man in the depths of
despair is a difficult task, particularly
when that man is certain that
the fault lies with the other. This
country will be fortunate if the feeling
goes no further than discontent.
