C. ii i .1 why rmzabbthton chosen Previously Unheard of Town Aspire* to be Metropolis of Tennessee Soon _ * Those who wonder why Herbert Hoover selected such a tiny spot as Eli**Mhton, Tenn., for the only southern speech of his campaign, may find the answer In an article published in the current issue of the Review of He views. Kluabethton, small us it is, is the epitome of the new industrialized south Only two years ago it was a Sir. py mountain village of 2,600 population. Today it is a bustling town of liUOOO which has centered the attention of all Tennesi&e by mirroring the aspirations of that politically important border state. Within a decade, Elizabethton confidently expects to be a city of 150,000 population, outranking Nashville, Chuttanooga and Knoxville, and endangering Memphis' place as the State's chief city. Consequently, whatever happens in Elizabethtou today, as the Hoover manugers know, commands close attention from the entire old south. Synthetic silk is the explanation of the Elizabethton phenomenon, not the artificial silk made from cellulose or plant fiber and called "rayon" but a fab ric which even under the most expert test, can hardly be distinguished from the natural silk. The process, perfected by German chemists, utilizes what has been virtually a waste product in the south until now, the fine lint which remains when the cotton is separated from the seed. German capital, under the name of the American Bamberg corporation, has projected a $58,000,000 plant in the little mountain town. Two units already are operating, and the completed project will employ 30,000 persons. The discovery of an abundant supply of chemically pure water necessary to the process was responsible for the selection of Elizabethton for the industry. Scientists who have investigated the project, according to the Review of Reviews article, are confident that the new industry will ultimately erase the $440,000,000 annual importation of silk from the orient, centering the American silk market in the south.

Grayson of Savannah, Ga., was on Tuesday unanimously elected national commander of the United Spanish War Veterans by the convention in session, at Havana, Cuba.*- ' Many Styles of Writing Says Robert Quillen , ? (Fountain Inn Tribune) One day ItMit week a writing man. whose work is vulgar perfaced hlf dally bit with a word of explanation He said, %in effect; "My work i? common and full of dirt, but I'm not that kind of fellow. I'm well-odu cated and my taste is delicate; . put my readers are ill-bred and ignoran* trash and I must write the kind of stuff they can appreciate.!' A, few years ago America's best known critic said in print that he had been Criticised for using big words, "whereas," said he, "I strive to use the simplest language at my command and thus make myself elm the common man." As a matter of fact he frequently employs foreign phrases und words from \,he dead languages and dsJiifhts in English words never used in conversation. His claim to simplicity, fully translated, meant; "I know a lot of bigger words than I use, but I don't spring them because I know you boobs wouldn't understand." All children delight in big words and adults with child minds seldom are content to use simple words if they know larger ones. It is harmless form of asininity, and more amusing than offensive, but it becomes a little nauseating when thrf" speaker or writer makes comparisons. Some time ago /& little# girl here ir. the village said to her? playmates after a period of strutting; But I must quit using my big words; you all can't understand me." , She was faking, of course, but the writers who talk that way really mean it. They think they are superior to the ordinary run of men and they make a conscientious effort to write down to the ordinary man's level. But having expressed their thoughts in simple words, they are assailed by doubts and fears. "Gosh!" they aay. "People who reaji that simple stuff may think I'm simple. P must tell them how smart I really am." And then they explain that they are writing for the common people and not for high-brows. One of the most popular weekly magazines contained an explanation of that kind a few days ago. It really is "low-brow"?unnecessarily so? and it feels ashamed of it. "Wherefore vanity prompts it to let- the world know how much more clever it could be if it wasn't for the necessity of keeping down to the boob's level. I have been trying to write for twenty-five years, and during the whole of that time I have studied the work of other writers and observed its reaction on the public. And I believe I know whereof I speak when I say that it never is necessary to "write down" to people who read/~""*~~>*-* '1 ' v There are various classes of readers, with various interests, and little groups support trade and technical publications; but the general reader is interested in almost everything under the sun and knows a little about almost everything. "What is more, he knows about as much as the writers know. There isn't a writer in America who has thoughts or ideas that won't be understood by the general reading public if they are expressed in .the straight-forward English a gk>od workman should use to express them. The "high-brow" element that thinks vast and intricate thoughts beyond the comprehension of ordinary mortals is a myth. It ..doesn't exist. There are groups of specialists whose interests are narrow?who speak a jargon of their own?and what is written for these is Greek to the average man. He knows nothing about it and cares less. But the general reading public cat and does comprehend all that is wrli? ten by writers whose subjects are of universal interest. There are writing men who sincerely believe their audiences small because only a few people have wit enough to grasp their tremendous thoughts. That isn't the trouble.- ~ Their thoughts aren't over the heads of the crowd. They are not understood fpr the simple reason that they dont know thedr trade well enough to make themselves understood. ' y Men in an office, a store, a factory a newspaper gfftg?_Jiavft imhcft that function in much-the same way. They* think-about the same thoughts. Their immediate interests are different; but once they get away from "shop talk,'^ their ability to comprehend matters that nave, general appeal places them in about the nam# class. _ To "write down" to any group of them or to all of them it needlessly and offensively to wWte "c-a-t" endee the pWtaie of I tit r haven't among us today any great prophet Who seed diagram lde stupendous Ideas to brink thoTlZB i.^ u? .f arftJ1.ry ^ *m tax mmcE^?<1 Office of Treasurer K?*r?h>? r.
