Politically the most immediate danger to the

out of government there is great and immediate

leading to control of private speech and thought

sort of thing 1t couldn't possibly be anything ese
Professor Phelps might have added that control
of speech and thought as well as action leads to
what is happening in Spain today-bloody civil
strife.

freedom of speech freedom of action, and freedom

these words of DR.. Phelps.

NEW YORK-Al Smith, in ad-
dition to attacking the New
Deal with his bittereSt brand of
Scorn, will endorse Governor
Landon by name, says an inside
ZIP.
That's the answer TO a queS-
ton many politicians have been
asking themSelVeS-aSSuming, of
course, that Smith doesn't change
his mind.
Some of the Republican strate-
giSts now say privately that
Smith will cut more heavily into
the Roosevelt vote than they pre-
viously anticipated, mainly in
large cities such as New York,
Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago,
and Detroit.
Democrats consulted on that
point are divided between those
who say Smith will give votes to
Roosevelt as often as he speaks
and those who feel that Smith will
be helpful to Roosevelt in some
areas and harmful in others.
The question as to whether
Smith, in campaign speeches,
would actually come out for Lam
don has been question of
whether this lifelong Democrat
could actually be persuaded to de-
clare for a Republican candidate
other than by implication.
The inside tip from Republican
sources is that Smith has so de-
cided. Old associates of both

COUNTY FAIR COMES TO THE FORE
AGAIN

The movement for Henderson county
fair comes up again. This has been under
consideration for several years and expec-
tations are that it will now be successfully
concluded through negotiations by the pro-
moterS of the fair and county officials.
The fair promoters desire to locate the
fair grounds on the property of the old
Stony Mountain golf course on the Hender-
sonvile-Asheville highway. They believe
this is satisfactory site for the tair
grounds and it has been under considera-
ton for that purpose for some time. No
doubt the fair grounds would have been
established there two years ago but for the
fact that the promoters stepped aside to
afford an opportunity for location at that
point of the State tuberculosis sanitarium,
which was finally located elsewhere. This
DELAYED the movement for fair grounds un-
Ill the present time.
A news story in yesterdays Times-News
affords the information that the matter
comes up again, due to the fact that the
time has come for an adjustment OF Hen
derson county's ownership of an interest
in the golf course property The county's
interest amounts to two-ifthS of approxi-
mately 160 acres of land which comprises
the property. 1t is suggested that there be
a division between the county and the citi-
zens owning three-ffths of the property,
and that the county's acreage be used for
fa;r grounds
1t is said that proposal to lease this
land to the fair association for period of
years at a nominal rental will come before
the county commissioners for consideration
next Monday In view of the price paid at
the sale of assets of the Citizens National
Bank for that portion of the property
which is privately owned, it is clear that
the county might expect to receive only a
comparatively small sum for the sale OF its
interest in the property; and it is believed
by many citizens that if the property can
be used as suggested to bring about the
development of first class county fair, 1t
will be worth to the entire county many
times the amount of cash which could be
realized from a sale. That is the PROPOSE
ton which will be placed before the coun-
ty commissioners.
Thousands of citizens of the town and
county who have for years been interested
in the movement for county fair, are hop
ing that way will be found to use this
county property in carrying through thi:
purpose.
