HIGHWAY NO, So
OPEN FOR TRAVEL
Grading on Last Link at Banner
Elk is Completed, Opening Up to
Travellers Most Scenic Route in
Western North Carolina

Grading on the last remaining
link of Highway No. SO through
Banner Elk has been completed by
the contractor, Nello L. Teer of
| Durham. This gives to the travelling
public one of the most scenic routes
in Western North Carolina.
Beginning as it does at the Vir-
ginia-North Carolina line near Spar
ia, it finds its way through Jeffer-
son in Ashe county, Boone of histor-
ic fame, thence into the valley aof
the Watauga river. From Vale Cru
els the six-mile climb to Banner Elk
is begun. This little village with
its altitude of four thousand feet,
is on of he most ideal in western
North Carolina. Its winter tenn
perature is the coolest in the state
and incidentally the coolest in the
summer. From Banner Elk this
highway of the mountains" con-
tinues over the newly graded link of
seven miles-the most magnificent
piece of engineering over the whole
route-to Cranberry, famous for its
magnetic iron. From here it follows
the valley of the Toe river into
Spruce Pine, thence on to Burns
vile, Asheville-the city of the sky
and through Hendersonville into
South Carolina.
Not only does SO afford the tour
ist one of the most scenic trips
through the mountains of western
North Carolina, but is undoubtedly
destined to become popular as
much shorter route between the Lee
highway in Virginia, connecting at
Wytheville, into Asheville, Atlanta
and the south.

SPORTSMEN OF COUNTY
MUST SECURE LICENSES

Fish and game wardens of thc
county tell The Democrat that in
various sections the report has been
freely circulated that under the
present law anglers of the county do
not have to provide themselves with
fishing licenses. This unfounded in
formation, say the officials, mas
caused some of the best citizens of
the county embarrassment, and they
wish to impress upon the pucGc the
fact that they are compelled by law
in the future to prosecute anyone
known to have ished the waters of
Watauga county without having first
purchased license.

church desires tina tthe Baptists, Lu-
therans, Presbyterians, Advent
Christians, and people of other de-
nominations, feel that DIR. Taylor
comes not as a Methodist in the
strict sense of the word, but as an
evangel to all people of this splendid
town. 1t is reasonably safe to say
that Boone needs revival, and
Boone can have a revival if the good
people of the town are willing that
such happen. Everyone should for
get their doctrinal differences and
unite together in prayers and efforts
to make this meeting meeting for
the common good.
DR.. Taylor closed a series of serv-
ices in the Methodist church at
York, S. c., last Sunday. Of the
meeting the Yorkville Enquirer has
this to say:
Or. E. P. Taylor, Jr., noted evan
gelist of the Upper South Carolina
Conference, preached to a congre-
cation estimated at 1000 people in
IHe SOSpSi LellI III Iiie rear Oh the
Methodist church, Yorkville last
evening. His subject was "The In
pardonable SIM and in simple,
forceful language he pleaded with
his congregation to accept Jesus as
their Savior while the opportunity
presents itself. At the close of the
service many men and women and
little children came to the rostrum
at the preachers request and asked
that prayer be said for the salvation
of their souls and the conservation
of their lives to the service of Him
who died for men. Christian work
ers were busy following the sermon
in circulating among the congrega-
tion seeking to persuade this person
and that to renounce the world, the
flesh and the devil and to enlist un-
der the banner of the cross. 1t was
announced prior to the sermon that
IA additions to the church had been
received. That number was aug
mented after last nights service

ASHE COUNTY HOPEFUL
OVER PROSPECTS OF OIL

Mr.. John Moretz of the Fleet
wood section of Ashe county was a
caller with The Democrat last week
end and talks Interestingly of the
prospects for taking petroleum from
that section of the country. Mr..
MoretZ owns the far mon which oily
outcroppings were noted some weeks
ago and says experts from Texas
and Washington City have agreed on
the discovery of oil, and that now it
is only a question of the best means
of financing operations to develop
the resources.
Mr.. Moretz says bubbles of oil
were first noted oozing through the
bottom of stone walled spring.
These bubbles would break upon
reaching the surface of the water
and greasy skim would spread.
Later it was found that the sand for
considerable distance around had
a petroeum content, this being indi-
Gated by the odor. Mr.. Moretz states
that some of the samples of the fluid
have been rich enough to be infiam-
mable.
1t is the purpose of the owners of
the lands in that section to have
te prospects more thoroughly inves-
tigated by government engineers be-
fore taking further steps.

Beginning Sunday, August IS, and
continuing through Sunday, Septem-
Der 1st, there will be conducted the
annual series of meetings in the
Boone Methodist church. DIR. E. P.
Taylor of Batesburg, S. c., one of
the most effective preachers in Caro-
lima Methodism, will have charge of
these services. Dr. Taylor was for
ten years an outstanding leader in
the dental profession in his state.
but six years ago felt the call to the
ministry so strongly that ne laid
aside a most lucrative practice and
responded to the Divine call. From
the very beginning of his ministry
his services have been in great de-
mand.
The Boone Methodist church is
exceedingly fortunate in securing his
services, and it was through the in
fluence of friends of this churrh
that he was secured. Since his de-
finite agreement to come here, large
city churches in this state have in
sisted that ne be released in order
that they might secure his services
for those two weeks. DR.. Taylor has
recently closed a series of meetings
held in the First Methodist church
of Columbia S. c., the largest church
in South Carolina Methodism. 1t is
said that the entire city was moved
by his matchless preaching, not only
Methodists, but people of all prot
estant denominations This was his
second series of meetings in that
great church. He is sane, sensible,
and effective. He uses no wild,
flamboyant methods which very Oft
en- characterize the average cvange-
list, but breaches the plain simple
gospel in all of its power.
DR.. Taylor comes to the Methodist
church. He is Methodist; yet the
Methodist church here extends a
most cordial invitation to the p@ople
of the town of all denominations to
attend these services. The Methodist

night and defeated them decisively
by % to IA score. The seasons ar
gument as to the better team has
been definitely decided.
Friday afternoon of this week is
being set aside as visitation day at

sored by the executive committee of
the P. T. A. which urges all parents
to set this time aside and visit the
school. At $40 tea and waters will
be served in the Home Economics
room without charge so teachers and
parents might talk over their prob

be presented at that time.
The first meeting of the spring

by Teacher Training students.
