Sam Ervin, Candi date for Solici tor 12th District Prom The News-Herald: The famous Dr. Archibald Alex ander held that the rugged scenery of the mountains excited an influ ence on those who grew up under their shadow.

Mr. Dixons acceptance of the invi tation of the Eastern Carolina Expo sition to deliver an address was made known here today at the offices for Wildaeres, where a new American in st tatinn a summer assembly ground of the 1 beral arts, is be ng created by Mr, Dixon and other members of the Mount Mitchell Association of Arts and Sciences. It is located near. Little Switzerland, in McDowell County. “The Rising South" will be the subject of Mr. Dixon, who is con-: sidcred one of greatest living ora tors. This will he the l'rist time this address has been delivered by Mr . I jDixen and it is expected that thou sands of persons will hear this fam ous native son of North Carolina. Mr. Dixon is now writing a book [entitled “The Garden of America.’’ which he declares will be the last book he wall write as he intends to : devote the remaining years of his life to aiding in the upbuilding of the South. Believing fully in the wonderful future in store for this section, Mr. Dixon is already devoting his time and mon { to a project that is des tined to bring national fame to the i mountains of Western North Caro lina. Being a man who has always done the unusual, he is now doing and accomplishing a unique tiling in the Carolina Highlands. The establishment at Wildacres— which is in the midst of some of the most beautiful mountain scenery in America—of a summer assembly ground of the liberal arts, is the re sult of a long-cherished ideal of Mr. Dixon’s, lie hopes to create a moun tain refuge for creative thinkers, which will attract to Western North Carolina and the Souih a high type of people—authors, artists, philoso phers, actors, educators, and other professional people, all leaders in the world of thought, and action. A Cultural Center With the gathering of these people at Wildacves, there will be created a cultural center that is destined to have a far-reaching effect on South ern life and custom. That such a col ony of famous artists and scientists will nfluence the cultural life of the Southland is obv.ous. It will mean a new era in the fine arts in the South, which at one time was term ed by II. L. Mencken as “The Saha ra of the Beaux Arts.” Wildacves will have special features to he found in no other place in the South or the country as a whole for that matter.
