NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
PROPOSED SCENIC HIGHWAY

North Carolina should greet with great elatlon
whatever probability there is that the federal gov
eminent will undertake the building OF $zo,-
00O, 900 highway from Washington down through
the enhancing valleys of Virginia and over the
crest of the long and variegated chain of the Blue
Ridge mountains into the governments PARK feser-
walton in Western North Carolina
Rack from Washington where he has been in
consultation with various federal departments, and
officials thereof Chairman Jeffress of the North
Carolina highway commission reports that all of
those in authority in the capital were found to be
not only in agreement as to the advisability Of
such an undertaking, but showed uncommon
eagerness to get behind the project and promptly
see it through.
What the undertaking will mean to North Caro-
lima is so vast and far-reaching that hesitates
to conjecture Certain it is that it will rank among
the great movements in the whole history of this
commonwealth designed to promote its progress
and develop its rich resources
The Great Smoky Mountain park reservations of
the federal government have never been thorough
ly exploited For the most part in respect at least
to their potentialities they have only been pddled
with.
Such a route as is now proposed, designed for
its scenic phases and features and purposed to
furnish tourists with fast, clear track for their
motor excursions over one of the most lovely
drives pictureabe in all of America, would imme-
diately bring into the state far greater volume
of tourist traffic than any other single development
conceivable.
Under present accommodations, the Smokes are
already ahead of some of the other more notable
national attractions of this nature in their appeal
to visitors from all over America and abroad. The
National Parks office in Washington estimates that
whereas only about 800, 900 visitors entered the
Yosemite the past season, those who came to the
reservation in Western Carolina numbered 375,-
900.
With the advantage of the proposed new high
way. with its natural beauties of alternate sweeps
of valley and mountain, forests of every known
variety of tree native to this country, its smooth
and inviting level and its directness of route to
the destination, the number of tourist visitors
would run up instantly by the tens of thousands
and the Great Smokes would become the most
popular and the most famous of all such national
attractions.
First conceived as triple-state undertaking and
financing, with Tennessee, North Carolina and Viz
gnia cooperating, it is now being proposed to
Secretary Ickes of the department of the interior
that this Improvement be handled as a federal
project and builded through funds available from
the public works allotment.
1t is as to the possibilities of this plan that
Chairman Jeffress is much interested and en-
couraged to believe that Washington officials will
not only look with favor upon the project, but will
be so impressed with the tremendous advantages of
the scheme that the enterprise will be speedily I'M
dertaken.-Charlotte Observer.

MORRISON IN
HORNET nest
Strong Dry Statement Is
Seen as Slap at Many
Supporters
By J. c. BASKERVILL
The Timcs-Ncws Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel

RALEIGH, Oct. %. - Former
Governor-Senator Cameron Nor
rison of Charlotte, is being re-
garded here as the states cham
pion political contortionist, when
it comes to opening his mouth
and putting his foot in it. He
has been noted for doing this
same thing in the past, but it was
beginning to be believed here
that he was learning not to put
on this act. Then he issued his
statement in which he sad he
would not accept the post as
member of the National Demo
cratic committee even if elected
added another sentence to
the effect that he would fight re-
peal and help deliver North Caro-
lima from the hands CT those
who would throw it back, morally
and politically, 20 years"
If Morrison had let matters
rest with his statement that he
would not accept the post of ma
tional committeeman, or had
merely said he would oppose re-
peal, things would have remained
virtually as they were, it is
agreed here. But when he charg-
ed that those who are favoring
repeal are in favor of throwing
the state back, morally and po-
litically, 40 years" he stirred up
a lot of people just as much as
when he voted Frank McNinch as
a member of the federal power
commission, according to opinion
in political circles here. Not only
that, he took a slap at some of
the best friends and supporters
he ever had. No one worked
harder for him in his last dis
astrous campaign fer the senate
than Walter Murphy, who is now
directing the campaign for the
united repeal forces. His state
ment was also a sock on the jaw
to such men as Robert Lass!ter
of Charlotte, now chairman Of
the united council for repeal,

AN UNATTRAcTIvE INVESTMENT

The Russians say they are ready to spend bill
lion dollars in the United States provided certain
conditions met. The first condition, and the
most important, is that we lend them the money.
They to overlook the fact that they already
owe us large sum which they seem to have no
intention of repaying. Just after the the gov
eminent and individuals bought millions of dollars
worth of foreign bonds Most of these bonds are
now in default and their value of course has great
ly deprecated. Under these circumstances one
would think that lending money to Russians or any
other foreigners would not be very attractive

James G. Hanes and Robert NJ
Hanes of Winston-Salem, Burton
Craige of Winston-Salem, and
other rcpealists who also have
been staunch supporters of Nor
rison.
Long noted for his failure to
pause and think before he speaks,
many here think Morrison is be-
coming worse rather than better
along these lines.
There are some who think Nor
rison has deliberately espousel
the cause of the "drys" or anti
repealists in q long distance hope
to run against Senator Reynolds
in 1888 on q "dry" platform,
since Reynolds defeated him last
year on "wet" platform. This
is the view which former State
Senator Dave Smith of Meckien-
burg county, takes in news
story carried in the Charlotte
News a few days ago. He be-
lieves that by 1888 the McNinch
incident will be forgotten, that
there will be a revulsion against
liquor, that a "dry" candidate
will then have no difficulty in de-
feating Reynolds and that Nor
lison will be the logical candi-
date. There are those here who
admit that Morrison may be
egotistical enough to believe in
this line of reasoning, but who
do not see how many others can
subscribe to it.
While it may be true that
should Morrison again become n
candidate for the senate in 1898
and attempt to win back the
seat which Reynolds wrested from
him last year, most Of the peo-
pie might have forgotten about
the McNinch matter, it is doubt
full they would forget Morrison's
last campaign, many here think.
1t is also agreed that unless Nor
rison is prepared to be more lib
eral with campaign funds in 1888
than he was in 1882, he will not
be able to travel very far. 1t is
also being suggested that he had
better set up a campaign head
quarters instead of a military
HEADQUARTERS.
Few here, however, are taking
the talk of his running again for
the senate in 1888 seriously and
think that Morrison merely made
another one Of those linguistic
blunders for which he has be-
come famous when he said he
would support the anti-repeal
cause and indicated all those who
are for repeal would throw the
state back 20 years morally and
politically" But if Morrison has
any future political ambitions, it

HEMINGWAY STORY TRULY INSPIRING AS SCREEN DRAMA

The film version of Ernest Hem ingway's great novel, "A Farewell to Arms" opened yesterday at the Palace theater, and proved as im- pressive Q screen play as 1t was Q book. Tho large audience, composed both of Hemingway fans and of persons to whom the story was new, laughed at the films humor, was deeply stirred by its drama, and generally conceded 1t to be one of the greatest love stories to reach the screen.
 Helen Hayes as the nurse. Cath erine; Gary Cooper as Lieutenant Frederic Henry; Adolphe Menjou as Rinaldi, and Mary Philips as Ferguson, all give performances of unforgettable brilliance and power. Catherine Is by far the best role that has fallen to the lot of Miss Hayes since her advent in films, and her performance is likely to stand among the genuinely great screen performances.
 Made by Frank Borzage and Benjamin Glazer, the two mon rec sponsible for Seventh Heaven" the film has all the tender quality of that earlier love story with the added power of the Hemingway roc nance. It is magnificent drama and superior screen entertainment!

There's Heresy In HoLlyOood; z Right!- Hepburn Is The Name
BY DAN THOMAS NEA Service Writer

Hollywood - At last we have found .a girl who refuses to bow to Hollywood. And she's the out- standing find of the. entire year as far as motion pictures are concern cd. The young lady of course is Katharine Hepburn. Bend an ear and catch Q few of her remarks pertaining to the film capital.
 "Hollywood hasn't done a thing for me-" Miss Hepburn declares. "Nor do l wish 1t to. Whatever comes to me want to come through my own efforts. That atti- tude may seem ungrateful. But l don't mean 1t that way.
 "Just because my first appear ance in "A Bill of Divorcement' hap pened to be successful is no reason why I should kneel in thanksgiving to Hollywood. The picture had J hn Barrymore In 1t. That's why I: was successful. l just tagged along.
 "To me Hollywood is just another place of pavements, shops and peo- pie rushing like mad I've done things for myself all my life. I've fought for what I wanted - and gotten most of the things. And l Intend to continue doing that. don't want Hollywood's help"
 It's strong attitude. But if she maintains it, Hollywood soon will be lowing to Miss Hepburn.
 
 Fan.c Comes At Last
 At last I'm in line to become "the face on the cutting room floor" A few days ago I strolled on to the "Face in the Sky" set. Come here," said Director Harry Lach- man, q can use you" The set rep- resented the lobby of a hotel. "You're 0 lobby lounger," he added placing me near the entrance. "When Marian Nixon comes through that door, you turn and gaze after her." At least that didn't require any acting. It would have though if he had said, Don't pay any attention to her."
 After the scene had been shot three or four times, Marian took me over to another part of the stage and showed me a huge 12- foot portrait of her head adornlng 0 sign board. Nixon with Q swelled head" she remarked.
