GOD AND THE STRONG ONES
BY Margaret Widdemer.


I'VE have made them weak" said the Strong
Eve have bound hem they still and deaf and blind
We have crushed them hands like heap of crumbng
sands,
We have left them naught to seek or find
They quiet at our feet" said the Strong Ones
1--WE have made them with stone and clod;
man"
Il raise the weak" saith God.
"They stirring in the darkw said the Strong Ones
'They struggling, who moveless IS the Dead
We hear them cry strain hand against the
chain,
We hear a heavy upward tread
Yet what if they have stirred? said the Strong Ones
What if they have moved beneath the rod?
Fools and weak and blinded shall tread them down
again"
"Shal we conquer Me-" saith Cod
They will tramble and bind p said the Strong Ones
eve crushed beneath the blackened hands!
All the strong and fair and they will crush from the
State,
They will whem it like the weight of sands
They witess and blind! said the Strong Ones
There is black decay where they have trod-
They will break the world if their hands the
rein"
What is that to Me-" saith God
Ye have only taught the blacxness We have known;
These evil and blind? Ay but nodded your mind
How We cry out against your own?
Ye have hid the light and love have given
From the muddied ways where they have pod,
Ye have builded this lord with the lash with
Reap what we have sown" saith God

MURPHY ORGANIZES
LIVE TRADE BOARD

MURPHY, N. c., Jan. 3l.-A
chamber of commerce vas organized
for Murphy Friday night at a meet
ing of business and professional men
in the assembly hall OF the library
at $50 o'clock. Colonel Don WITH
erspoon acted as temporary chair
man and after brief discussion as
to the need of a commercial organl'
cation in the town and after the
name of the organization had been
selected, the following officers We're
elected: D. Witherspoon, president;
w. D. Townson and w. M. Fain,
vice presidents; B. w, Sipe, secre-
tary. A committee, composed or II.
B. Norvell, w. M. Fain and W. B.
Gartrell, was appointed to draw up q
constitution and bylaws and will
report back to full meeting next
Friday night, when permanent COM
mittees will be appointed and the or
ganization of the chamber COM
pleted.
A board of trade was organized
here little more than q year ago,
but after a few meetings it was al
lowed to disintegrate. All the pro-
gressive business men of the town
are behind the new organization,
and it is felt that it will be a sue
cess.
1t is the general feeling here that
Murphy has great future before
it. The town is situated in the
forks of the HiaWassee and Valley
rivers and the Motley river flows
hard by, thus giving it almost I'M
limited water power, some of which
is already developed and only
awaits utilization; the greatest un-.
developed hardwood timber area in
eastern America is close by; millions
of tons Of high-grade iron and man.
ganese ore, tale, marble, copper and
other minerals are close at hand.
The Southern and the Louisville
and Knoxville railroads, connecting
meet here, giving Murphy better
town in this whole section. These
many natural advantages. together
with large supply of available la
Dor, make Murphy an ideal center
for furniture and wood-using indus
tries; mining and smelling develop
ments; and textile and certain re-
lated industries. The completion of
the Asheville-Atlanta Highway will
make Murphy much more attrac-
tive summer resort. The last link
in the Asheville- Murphy section of
this road will be let to contract on
February z, and word has just come
from officials in Georgia that the
Bellview-Dahlonega link of the Geor.
gia section will be let within the
next few weeks SO as to be COM
pleted within the year.
Business men here feel that the
loosening up in the money markets
and the general recovery of business
make this an ideal time to interest
capital in the opportunities offered
by Murphy and Cherokee county and
the newly-organized chamber of
commerce will press these matters.
