revenue producers of various kinds.
The following news story from the
Asheyille Citizen is of considerable in
Iterest in this connection:
That Western North Carolina pre-
sents an excellent field for investors
who are familiar with the manufacture
of by-products of apples was the state
ment of j. H. Mcconnell. who went to
Ghas. A. Webb's orchard yesterday af-
ternoon. He presented some figures
that were startling yer to those who
are familiar with conditions in this
section of the state. declaring that the.
present season will see 100000 bushels
CT unused apples on the ground. These
apples, he stated, could be used to ex-
cellent advantage if there was a fac
tory in this section of the state for
the manufacture of vinegar, preserves
apple butter and other by-products.
He stated that with the present system
OF good roads trayersing the western
part of the state, it would be possible
with a vinegar plant, for farmers to
earn 81 per day on the sale of apples
which are now going to waste, being
unfit for the market during the season.
They could haul seventy bushels of
apples at a load, Mr.. Mcconnell re-
roarked, selling them as low as ten
cents per bushel, they would be able
to clear 81 per day by making n load.
These apples, he said, do not have a
market now, being those which fall to
the ground and are not gathered. Eff
forts will be made by the board of
trade to interest capital in such a pro-
ject. At present, Asheville gets evap-
grated applJs from California, Mr..
said, and other by-products
come from other sections, in spite OF
the fact that Western North Carolina
is recognized as a great apple country

y. B. Allen and r. K. Stepp is a trio
that ought to win anywhere. They

dered them yeoman service in the
State Senate two years ago. Mr.. Stepp
has held no public Office. but his bus

a success of his own business and
would serve the public wisely and well

The nominees are all right. Vote

With the sentiment thus expressed.

should find pleasure in expressing
their appreciation of this service at
