DAVIS FOR PRESIDENT AND CHAS. W. BRYAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT Last night the Democratic Convention, in New York broke the deadlock that had lasted for two weeks and nominated John VV. Davis, of West Virginia as the Democratic candidate for President, Gov Chas. W. Bryan of Ne braska, and brother of William J. Bryan was nominated for Vice President. Davis was an ambassador to the King James Court during the Wilson administration, and 0 f him Mr. Wilson said that he was a giant intellect of his day. Bryan carries with him what ever influence his brother, Will iam J. has and the two nominees neither of whom represents the two factions that have domina ted the convention, they have a fair chance of carrying the Democratid party to victory this fail. CLIPPINGS FROM THE MOUNTAIN STAR. ROAD WORK GETTING WELL UNDER WAY Citizen’s Article, "Citizen’s” article in The Clay- tin Tribune on the lack of hospi tality in Ciayton and Other sum mer resorts is fine and true. We like the spirit and ring of it. It shows backbone and courage The Mountain Star is with you “Cits”, just go on and "sic 'em". ~~ t_. «- F Everything is coming down the lane to Rabun County that she needs except one thing, and that h a newspaper which can be dis tributed free into every rural ho ne that does not, will not, or i* not able to take one. Why let free literature be distributed ’reeking with all sorts of poison ous propaganda, and no antidote coming on behind to counteract this dangerous stuff? Our Clayton Tribune is published weekly in Claytor, Gas, Rabun’s township. That paper has about 500 subscribers. Its editor is alert, wide-awake and experienced. He understands how to run a newspaper as few of us do. He cannot afford to send the paper into hundreds of rural homes. Its his bread and meat. If there & anything in this world that would aggravate a country editor it is when he is hungry and has his office located over the sample room of a first class bakery where he can con tinually inhale the aroma of all sorts of cakes, pies, rolls and and custards. The only way out is to go down and eat out the sample room. Rabun county is congratula ting herself this week that every project, that has been asked, for in the way of aid, either State or Federal, is under way this week. A party of ten surveyors head ed by H. W. Morgan are camp- at Lakemont, preparat9ry to starting the survey of the hard surfaced roa dfrom Tallulah Falls to the North Carolina line. They will begin at once the survey which the Ordinary predicts wilT be finished and the road laid out within three months. At the conclusion of the survey the con tract will be let and work will begin on the road. Another party of surveyors are at work on the Chechero Road. They are headed by C. H. Faulkner. Other members of the party are Messers J.. N. Richardson and W. K. Holt. The Clayton-Hiawassee Road project has been let to Camp & Trammel who will begin work at once on the completion of the highway from Clayton to Hia wassee. The Tempson Creek bridge contract has been let to J. S. Scott, who will begin at once the erection of this bridge and when the two laat named con tracts have been completed the people of our neigboring county. Towns,will have an outlet to the rialroad and a good highway. Our Ordinary and those who have assisted him arc to be con gratulated on their succes in having gotten these aids in the making of the highways through the county, east and west; and north and south, which when completed will give us a splendid nucleus of highways to which the county will be able to build lateral roads and will soon have a good system of roads. CALVIN COOLIDGE, JR., SON OF PRESIDENT SUCCUMBS TO BLOOD POISON Calviu_Coolidge, Jr., second and youngest bou of President and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge died Monday night from the effects of something like blood poison from which he had suffered se vere pain for several days and from which it seemed ac times he would to recover.

They are the champion fiddlers of Georgia. ; — if A NATIONAL PARK PROBABLE SECTION AN OPPORTUNITY THAT COMES ONCE IN A LIFE TIME CaBt Saturday, as advertised, a meeting was held at the couit house, at which only a few of our citizens were present to hear Mr. Magid ’explain the advan tages offered in having the Na tional Park established within our bounds. One of the reasons why we have been so ndiraerent in the matter is because we have not fully realized the import of the undertaking. Another probable reason is that out of respect for the Forest Service Department we have allowed them to divert our attention from the merits of a National Park, by putting up the argument that 4p. the forest lands were converted ip to a park that it would destroy the timber interest in the lands pwned by the Forest Dei»$tityent, and thereby lessen the ktyiortunities of the laborers to Obtain labor, and that, more tht^i any other one thing has kept ps from tak ing a more active interest in the proposition. Now, that the Forest Depart ment has moved their adminis trative offices from here to Fyafoklin, leaving a ranger here which waatfoAriutely neces sary, it behooves us to* get busy and get that which rightfully be longs to us—a National P&rk. There has been a great deal of misinformation engendered into the minds of the people in regard to the park which if cleared up will leave us in a better position to consider the matter from an unbiased standpoint. For instance; that the park would stop all the timber inter est in the forest. Let’s see what the Park Commission says about it. The territory under consideration embraces that sec tion north of the Warwoman Road and west of the Tennessee Valley. On this territory there is no great amount of available timber for most of the timber ac tivities are soath of the Warwo man Road and in other sectioif of the forests. Another idea has been in the minds of the people; that if the park was established thev would confiscate the farming lands of the county, and not only so but any other industrial enterprise they saw fit to use, even the towns, if they wanted them. . One of the Park Committee, appointed by Secretary Work, was here last April and when confronted with these questions said that nothing could be more remote than that idea as the com mittee, wanted only such terri tory as could not be atilized for any other purpose and was only fit for a playground, such as the north eastern section of Rabun with a portion of North Carolina and a portion of South Carolina affords. Mr. Gregg, the member of the committee, who was here, when asked what would be the attitude of the park toward the farming lands along the valley said that (CmtiiHiMl ea page &) HOTEL VANOLEN Mr. Taylor Crown, St. Petersburg Fla.
