SHOWS BIG GAINS
Awakening Public Interest
Spurs Rapid Progress
of Industry.
BY FRANK J. WILLIAMS.
EDecial Dispatrh IN TIL. c+,-

NEW YORK, August 18-Lonz re.
garded with some skepticism, air con.
dlt1onlng is now rapidly emerging from
its chrysalis stage and shows unn1is.
taxable signs of assuming the stature
OF an industry in its own right. ac-
cording to an laborate booklet on the
subject issued by the New York Stock
Exchange firm of Harris, Upham G
Co.
The new thing about air condition.
ing, this firm says, is the magnitude Of
the awakening public interest. Con-
trary to a general impression, the
manufacture of air. r-conditioning equip.
ment is not new. 1t has a 35-year-old
background of research and successful
trial in the industrial field
The introduction of the American
public to air conditioning dates back
only few years, however. Until re.
Gently its experience with air condi-
tioning on any mass basis was limited
to theaters, railroads and a few large
department stores. A remarkable gain
IN sales during 1886 and a strongly ac-
this may not long remain an infant in
duStry.
Lower Costs Vital.
The future Of air conditioning, Har-
rlS, Upham & Co. asserts, appears to
depend to very large extent upon the
progress which the industry makes in
reducing costs. 1t seems likely that
reductions in cost and increased VOL
TIME Of installations will go hand in
hand. Larger scale production should
lead to some lowering of costs and
prices. The industry is still so young
that it has had no experience with
mass production. Not over 10000 units
OF any one type and size have yet been
produced by any one manufacturer.
In general, it appears sound to as
sumo that the industry will grow along
two major lines: % The commercial
and industrial fields. on a strictly self
liqu1dating basis: (2) the human COM
fort field where economic aspects are
not the ajor incentive. At least for
the immediate future. the greatest
growth PROBABLY Will be in the COM
merclal and industrial fields. The So
called human comfort" market Is
potentially, much greater. 1t includes
not only private dwellings, but places
OF business, whether factory or Office.
Field Is Outlined.
There are only few companies
which have so far concentrated a sub
stantial part Of their total business in
air conditioning. The only major COM
pany whose activities are entirely in
air conditioning is the Carrier Corp.
There is one other company in whose
case air conditioning represents a
substantial share of total volume. and
that is the York Ice Machinery Corn.
The remainder Of the industry con-
sists OF long list of companies whose
stake in air conditioning is small In
comparison with other interests.
Among the most important Of these
are the following: Chrysler Corp. Cen
eral Motors, General Electric, Borg
Warner, Nash-Kelvinator. American
Radiator e. Standard Sanitary, West
lnghouse Electric g. Manufa acturinv
Co. There are number of smaller
companies now partially engaged in
the manufacture Of air-conditioninr
equipment.

Find Over $4,000
Hidden In House
Roaring Gap Relief Worker Per-
ishes I'm Fire And Leaves
Many ValuableS.

An unusual story came to light
last week following the death of
Mary Bauguess, So, who was burned
to death in her home near Roaring
Gap.
For years Mary had worn rags,
lived on relief and often times beg
ged for food and clothing. The
next day after her death neighbocs
went into the three-room house in
which she had lived alone since the
death of her mother about a year
ago, and there they found grand
total of $4,000 hid in more than fif-
ty different places in the house.
Unwrapped Christmas packages,
fine clothes and other valuable
things we're also discovered. In
every box, shoe, and corner they
found small quantities of money,
including over 500 in gold coins.
They also found a rabbits tail,
token of good luck. All of the
searchers were amazed and unable
to explain the strange situation.

Mistrial Ordered
In Blackburn Case

AS the second week of federal
court got underway in North Will
kesboro this week, with Judge j.
J. Hayes presiding, a check up re-
vealed that while a number of
cases had been tried by Judge
Wyche, who occupied the bench
for Judge Hayes last week, only
small number of sentences had
been melted out. Many of the de-
PENDANTS were given suspended
sentences, with prohibition.
In the case of Roy Blackburn, Of
Idlewild, charged with violation of
this prohibition law, the jury was
unable to agree on a verdict after
considerating the matter for day
and mistrial was ordered. John
Blackburn was sentenced for two
yaars, but it was suspended with
two pears probation.
Judge Hayes absence last week
was due to severe cold.

OF Season.

The Lansing high school football
team snapped out Of its slump last
Friday afternoon and defeated
Newland high by the one-sided
score of rs to 0.
In order to defeat NeWland, the
Cranberry eleven short time ago

way, the boys really came to life Of
fensively, with Clark scoring three
touchdowns and Hartsog one.
Yesterday afternoon Lansing

Henson's Thrilling 90 Yard Run
Gives Appalachian State Grown
Rippers Won Conference Title
In Last Minute OF Play.
Have Perfect Record.

The name of EARL HENSON
will live forever at Appalachian
State Teachers College!
Last Friday night at Hickory, on
a muddy gridiron and before 5000
excited fans, this halfback did the
thing that is seldom seen except in
the movies.
It was the championship game be-
tween Appalachian and Catawba
for the North State crown. The
score was nothing and nothing,
first down with the ball resting on
Appalachian's lanyard line and
less than a minute left to play.
Just before that the strong line
of Appalachian had held the Cataw-
ba backs twice on downs in the
shadow of their goal to get posses
sion of the ball and to keep the
Indians from crossing their goal
line.
The situation looked hopeless for
the Rippers. But the ball was
snapped to Henson who slammed
through tackle, shook off a group
of secondary defense tacklers and
raced 80 yards for a touchdown,
crossing the coveted mark few
seconds before the final gun fired
ending the game.
This dramatic and thrilling run
gave his team a sensational victory
of to 0, won for them the state
title, and they finished the season
with the most remarkable record
in America; undefeated and un-
scored on.
With a perfect record, the Rippers
will meet Mississippi State Teach
ers next month in a post-mortem
encounter.
The game was played on fairly
even terms until the final period
Appalachian made six first downs
to Catawba's FIVE Henson's star
teammates, Angel and Wilson, al
so played brilliantly and the entire
line did an excellent job. Turby.
fill, new coach at the Jefferson high
was an outstanding star in the de-
Tense.

Convention Until
Saturday, Dec. 4

The old-time Fiddlers Conven-
ton, which was postponed last
Saturday night due to abnormally
bad weather conditions, will be
held in the courthouse in Jefferson
on Saturday night, December 4.
In spite of snow and freezing
weather, number of of musicians
and spectators braved the early
wintery blast and journeyed to the
courthouse last Saturday night, but
since the crowd was so small, Mrs.
Chessie Neal, librarian of Ashe
county Public Library, sponsors of
the convention, decided to post
pone the event for two weeks.
Mrs. Neal also announced that
additional prizes would be offered

'3S Crop Program
Being Explained
To Ashe Farmers
Two Community Meetings Held
Tuesday. All Farmers Urged
To Attend.

Between now and December Is
every farmer in Ashe county will
be given an opportunity to hear a
detailed explanation of the 1888
farm program, County Agent c. J.
Rich stated this week.
Tuesday community meetings
were held at Nathan's Creek and
Crumpler and in next weeks issue
of The Post complete schedules of
community meetings will be an
nounced.
In addition to explaining the pro-
gram for next year, at these meet
ings all of the farmers who cooper
ated in the 1887 program will also
be requested to sign applications
for payments, which will run into
thousands of dollars.
Mr.. Rich, Bruce Dent, who han
die the technical duties, and COM
mitteemen, will conduct the meet
ings and will go over the program
with the farmers. At the conclusion
of the community meetings, tenta-
tive plans are now being made to
hold countrywide gathering at the
courthouse.
In order to improve his farm and
to earn the maximum amount in
benefit payments, every farmer in
the county is urged to be present
for one of the meetings and later
to sign up with the program. A
goal will be set up for each farm
and payments made accordingly.
This year there were 100 farmers
who co-operated and will receive
benefit payments.

STILL WORKING ON PLAN
TO RE-FINANCE ASHE BONDS

During the past few weeks coun-
ty officials have been endeavoring
to work out proposed settlement
on the country's bonded indebted
ness. They have made one or two
trips to Raleigh, but so far they
have not made any announcements
concerning the progress that has
been made.
The county's present bonded in
debtedness on principal is $1,O79,-
900 and $23O,000 on past due inter-
est.
The officials are working on a
plan of re-fnancing these bonds at
lower interest rates. Default was
made some time ago.

Need Direct Mail
Line From Wilkes
Star Route Carrier Still Hav-
ing To Use Old Road And
Make Deliveries.

Now that the N & w has impro-
we'd the train mail service in the
county to some extent, local citi-
Ems are now wondering why the
Post Office Department in Wash
ington doesn't do something about
the service from here to North
Wilkesboro.
Instead of getting morning mail
at 10 and 1920 o'clock this mail
should be here by $50 or 9 o'clock,
at latest, they contend, and point
out that this could be accomplish
ed easily.
At the present time, the star
route carrier leaves North Wilkes
boro at 7:15 o'clock, comes over
the old road, stops at two post Of
fices and makes box deliveries
along the highway for quite a dis
lance.
Last spring postal inspector
made an inspection and promised
to establish through line to the
Jeffersons, which this community
is entitled to have, but nothing has
been done about it. The new road
is nearer and in much better condi-
ton. Why this continues, nobody
knows.
Other arrangements could be
made to take care of the in-be-
tween offices, local citizens think.
Boone has a direct line from N.
Wilkesboro.

Across the hills last week came
lots of snow and freezing weather,
but accompanying these icy blasts
were news of heart warming feats,
such as the fine showing of courage
and determination to win as was
displayed by the Lansing team at
Newland. After being outclassed
in the first Of a ball game being
played on snow covered gridiron
and in, at times, a binding snow,
Lansing struck hard and fast in the
second half to score four touch
downs, add two extra points and
ride to victory.
Princeton sunk the strong Navy
outfit to score brilliant upset.
Duke stopped Doc Newton's State
College Wolves to end one of the
best seasons that State has expert
enced in recent years. Doc deserves
big hand for the work he has
done to cure the old chronic ill
ness of States.
But the most dramatic game in
the state and nation took place in
Hickory when Appalachian defeat
ed Catawba 6 to 0, in the last min
ute of play, to win the North State
crown.
To EARL HENSON, the senior
who raced 90-yards, to score just
before the whistle blsw, we take
off our hats. That was the greatest
I feat we ever saw accomplished on
gridiron. To Coaches Kidd Brew
er and Flucie Stewart, to the entire
team, and to the Appalachian State
Teachers College we extend our
sincere and heartfelt congratula-
tons for winning the state champ
ionship and bringing this honor to
the Blue Ridge section.
The Rippers have a Great team
and they have established Great
record, the best in America.
The big game of the season takes
place in Durham Saturday when
Duks and Pitt play. Respectfully,
we're picking Pitt.
But the first games of local in
terest will be played earlier. First
we find Lansing invading Elkin. We
believe this game will be pretty
close since the rival coaches are
proteges of D. c. 'Peahead" Walk
err. However, tbs game being
played at Elkin, should give the
Elks the desired margin.
For the annual Turkey Day Clas-
sic Virginia comes down to Chap
ell Hill to play the once defeated Tar
Heels, and the Heels should win by
good margin.
Elon, with only one black mark,
will take Guilford in Greensboro in
it's annual battle.
And after careful consideration
of all the facts we will take the
lowly Deacons to whip the Wild
cats in their annual affair to be
