COUNTER REPLY
FILED IN SUIT

Replying to the answer of Clyde
La Toilette, in the suit brought by
I. B. Jones against Mr.. La Toilette
to restrain him from using certain
land for the operation of the Wheat
land ferry, Mr.. Jones alleges that
the original highway laid out by
the Marion county court in 1900
was in part of such nature that
it could not be used, and that travel
for several years for distance of
l3O yards was partly on the Jones
real estate.
Mr.. Jones also claims that Mr..
La Toilette should not be allowed
to allege that certain land owned
by Mr.. Jones was highway by
common consent.
The answer also claims that Mr..
La Toilette had recognized the own
ership. of certain land used in OPP
Grating the Wheatland ferry, as La
Toilette had at times rented portions
of the land in controversy for fer
ry purposes.

tant fact that causes many pub
lie to view with suspicion the in
sanity pleas as a defence for
crime is that the plan i lily is
to show temporary insahlty y on.

was insane at the time of t h e
commission of the crime but sub
sequently recovered. That was
the idea in the Peacock trial, but
the alienists balked. They were
willing to say that Peacock was

the time he killed the policeman,
but they insisted on saying that
he was still insane and unit 10

the defense wanted but it was
better than the electric chair, so
it had to be accepted. Now an is-
sue is to be made OF DR.. Pea.

BISH0p JOHN c. KlLG0 DIES
At MS CHARLOTTE HOME,

Charlotte Dispatch l1th to Greensboro
Daily News.
Bishop John G. Kilgo, of the
Southern Methodist Episcopal
church, died at his home here at
HAS this morning, after having
been extremely i'll since last Sun
day when he suffered a severe
heart attack.
Bishop Kilgo has been gradu-
ally siuking since Thursday af-
ternoon and his death has been
expected by his physi-
clans and family hourly. Since
Sunday little or nohope had been
entertained for his recovery.
The aged minister had never
entirely recovered from the Sc
we're attack suffered last Spring
on his way home from the gener-
al conference which forced him
to remain under treatment in a
Memphis hospital for several
weeks, finally being brout home
in the private car of Fairfax Har-
rison, president of the Southern
railway, of which Bishop Kilgo
was a director.
He regained sufficientstrength
however, to leave his bed and
several times took rides about
the city with members of his
family. He made one trip to Bal,
timore, where he was under
treatment of a specialist for sew
eral days.
Bishop John Carlisle Kilgo was
born in Laurens, S. G. July %
1861, son of James T. and Cath
crime Mason Kilgo. He was educa
ted in the schools of his native
state and received the honorary
degree of D. D. from Wofford
and Randolph Macon colleges
and Tulane university.
He was united in marriage
with Fannie Turner, of Gaffney

The visit of Governor Cameron
Morrison to Boone, Aug. 9, was
an event of Importance to the
town, the county and all this Sec
ton of the mountains. He made a
superb address, met many peo
pie and saw some Of the greatest
beauties of the country and at
the same time the effects of the
highway which are 80 dear to his
heart.
A committee visited Blowing
Rock and invited the Governor
to Boone. His visit began at the
Appalachian Training School, the
auditorium of which was packed
with people. Before his arrival
the usual chapel exercises had
been held, Fred Olds had told a
story and Sherman Brockwell,
the Fire Marshal of North Caro-
lima, had made most practical
and interesting talk.
Mr.. B. B. Dougherty introduc-
ed Capt. E. F. Lovill, chairman
of the board of trustees of the
Appalachian Training s c h o o ],
and the latter presented, most
gracefully, the Governor to the
audience.
His Excellency described in
graphic fashion the real duty Of
a State to it's people and said that
we had been far too much in the
habit of making a great ado a
bout a States rights and had moi
put the proper emphasis on 9
States duties or obligation, tc
the people. The United States
has certain rights and these are
absolutely necessary for the gen
eral safety and many other pur-
poses in this great republic, but
many vital things are left entire
ly In the jurisdictionof the states
themselves; a most solemn obli
cation.
He told how North Carroll nj
has undertaken to carry out
these obligations, one among
them education, to give ever!

1t is a we'll established fact OF
national renown that the noun
tain section of North Carolina is
richly endowed in scenic beau
ties and possesses a marvellous
climate which attracts summer
tourists from far and wide. The
poet with his pencil, the painter
with brush and palettee, thephy-
sician with his ailing patients
have capitalized these great nat
ural gifts, but by q recent dis
covery of a new phase of indus
trial life the captains of industry
have beard the call of the hills.
A date of great Importance in
the economic history of the state,
nay of the South, is December
81, 1921. It was then that the
first Swiss cheese south of the
Mason and Dixon line was made
at Sugar Grove, N. G. This spot
OF future fame is located in Wa
tauga county, nine miles from
the beautiful little town of Boone,
named for and settled by Daniel
Boone, of pioneer history.
A few Swiss immigrants came
to the United States some years
ago in search of q desirable loca.
ton for the manufacture, of the
famous Swiss cheese. They set
tied in Wisconsin and Minnesota
attracted no doubt by the pre-
eminent position occupied BY
these states in dairy products.
The United States government
sent departmentexperts to study
the situation and assist if possi-
bic in the developmentof the pro-
cesses. The government unbalk-
ed by this tacitionity sent men
to Switzerland to make investi.
cation. Again 9he Swiss evinced
Indifference to imparting the Sc
crets of their national industry
to outsiders. But America with
characteristic persistence refus-
ed to be bafaed, only growing
more determined to succeed, so
DR.. Sherman, of Washington, D.
c., analyzed the cheese itself, iso'
lating the bacteria, or as + h e
cheese mans vernacular has it,
''the bug" that produces t h e
cheese.
The industry then began to de-
velop in phenomenal rapidity In
Wisconsin. 1t was necessary te
use a chemical known as eye cul
ture here, although it was moi
known in Switzerland. The gov
ernment recommends its use ir
North Carolina, in order to bt
sure of satisfactory results.
Only recently officials of th'
United States Department saw
the wonderful possibilities fol
the successful manufacture O.
swiss cheese in North Carolina
Mr.. J. A. Arey, of the State De
partment, assisted Mr.. H. L
Wilson, of the United States de
parment in a survey of the situa
alton. Mr.. Wilson, who is emf
nently known as an expert in tn
Swiss cheese line, was statione
atSugar Grove as father Of tn
factory. 1t was through his in
tiatve and effort that the enter
prise originated here. In Decor

was made under his supervision
