American army experts have made
elaborate computations of what might
be accomplished by the latest Ameri-

has been shown that when fired at
an angle of 45 degrees such a gun has
a range of $4,000 yards, or over 81

DR.. Junge was asked if he thought
successful long-range firing could be
accomplished for distances of 50 tC
100 miles. He admitted the difficulties
at sucn distance, both from the heav'

effect of air currents in swerTing the
missile ever so slightly from its

the attack was made upon Gallo

OF the men implicated in the dis

The writer had tie pleasure of
travelling over some of Swain coun-
tvs good roads. They are fine, but
| failed to see the wisdom of build
ing them "a feet wide. An IS foot
road would answer all purposes, and
be so much cheaper to build. Then
after the road is built, it would be
SO much easier and cheaper to keep
the road up. So wagons, buegies
and automobi es can eaiily pass
each other is all that lie needed.
Qualla township is stirred up over
the question of good roads. The
plan is for the state highway
through Swain to come though QUA
la and Barkers Creek and connect
with the good roads of Dillsboro
and Sylvia townships, and 60 through
to Waynesville. On the other end
| understand that this road is going
