Thursday,, May 5, 1932 McCORMICK MESSENGER, McCORMICK. SOUTH CAROLINA When BABIES are Upset B ABY ills and ailments seem twice as serious at night. A sudden cry may mean colic. Or a sudden attack of diarrhea. How would you meet this emergency—tonight? Have you a bottle of Castoria ready? For the protection of your wee one—for your own peace of mind— keep this old, reliable preparation always on hand. But don’t keep it just for emergencies; let it be an everyday aid. It’s gentle influence will ease and soothe the infant who cannot sleep. Its mild regulation will help an older child whose tongue is coated because of sluggish bowels. All druggists have Castoria. Augusta Road To Knoxville Ready ELEVEN MILE STRETCH FILLS Missing link; large cele bration PLANNED; MAKES AUGUSTA GATEWAY FROM SOUTH GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN PARK (Augusta Chronicle of Monday.) Must Stay Off Reservoir Property i Since wiring in the reservoir to prohibit anyone or anything from going into the reservoir, certain parties have continued to climb over the fence and go in bathing and fishing in this water. This is strictly forbidden by the commis sioners and town authorities and anyone caught inside this enclosure will be fined not less than ten dol lars or 30 days on the public works of the city. We have spent $200 'wiring in this enclosure to protect the place against animals and children getting into this pool, and this does not seem to be sufficient warning. Anyone caught inside this enclosure will be dealth with harshly. C. K. EPTING, Mayor. * ... ■' *.-V / ■ ' NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR LOST STOCK CERTIFICATE Completion of grading of a sec- ion of road between Smokemont, N. C., and Gatlinburg, Tenn., of \bout 11 miles will give Augusta i direct route to Knoxville and the middle west, it was stated yester day by W. F. Shipman, secretary of the Augusta Automobile club, which is working in co-operation with the East Tennessee Auto mobile clubs in preparing for a celebration of the opening of the road, which makes Augusta the gateway from the South to the Great Smoky Mountain National park. The North Carolina highway commission reports chat the grad ing of Jthe Carolina portion will be completed very soon and that it will be thrown open to traffic. The department will then contract for placing gravel on the entire length of the road, which will not inter fere with the movement of traffic as long as the surface does not slide as sometimes happens in the mountain sections after heavy rains. Russel Hanlon of the East Ten nessee Automobile clubs will serve as chairman of the committee in charge of the celebration of which J. Clark Jack, president of the Au gusta Automobile club, is a mem ber. As far as developed the plans of the celebration will include a committeeman from the two Caro- linas, and if present plans way system. South Carolina’s share will be from Furey’s Ferry bridge to McCormick, which is at present under construction and 57 miles to pave between Anderson and McCormick via Abbeville. The route is already paved from Anderson to the Georgia line via Walhalla. North Carolina has about 17 miles of unpaved road be tween the Georgia-North line and Franklin and 25 miles be tween Franklin and Bryson City. The road is then paved from Bry son City to Ela, 10 miles and from Ela to the Tennessee-North Caro lina line is sand clay. Thence to Gatlinburg is gravel and from ther to Knoxville paved. All in all the route is more than 50 per cent saved. 2X1 WASHINGTON HIGH SCHOOL NEWS POLITICAL CARDS For Supervisor 1 I hereby announce my candidacy for Supervisor of McCormick arolina County, subject to the rules and regulations of the Democratic pri mary.

Af terwards the procession, neaded by the governors of Tennessee and North Carolina and perhaps Geor gia and South Carolina, will move to the North Carolina-Tennessee state line at Newfound Gap. A temporary stop will be made while the North Carolina and Tennessee governors will place a white flag on each side of their respective states lines and then mount the reviewing stand. It is also plan ned to have a group of Indians from the reservation take part in the celebration under the direction of Horace M. Albright, director of national parks, it was said. This Smoky Mountain Trail when completed should bring to Augusta more automobile traffic than any other route from the North due to its unique scenery, Mr. Shipman taid, and also on account of the fact that the automobiles clubs of East Tennessee are so vitally inter ested in the Smoky Mountains that they will route most of the south bound traffic through the Smokies, whereas during the past most of the traffic coming into that sec tion of Tennessee and Knoxville has been going via Chattanooga and Atlanta. And as for north bound travel Augusta is the gate way for the Smokies and should attract thousands each summer from south Georgia and Florida as well as the tourists returning north sach spring after spending the winter in the South. Activities towards the beginning of the formation of the Smoky Mountain trail will date back some !our years ago when a request was nade by the Augusta Automobile :lub at its first annual meeting, October 1927, for the North Caro- ina highway commission to con- ider the matter of building a road ef about 11 miles between Smoke- mont, N. C., and Gatlinburg, Tenn., which was the only, missing link of .he Augusta-Knoxville highway. The request for this highway was made direct to J. G. Stikeleather, highway commissioner for western North Carolina, who was the prin cipal speaker at the first annual meeting of the club. Up until that time very little if any interest had been shown by Augustans towards this new proposed road probably because of their lack of knowledge of the Smokies and the national jark. Georgia will make the smallest contribution of the four states which will compose the Smoky Mountain Trail. Georgia will be asked to pave from the Columbia- Richmond county line to Furey’s Ferry bridge and another section of seven miles in the extreme northeastern part of Georgia thru Pine Mountain which is not at Willie Reed Fowler Louise Rich Henry Jennings Bussey Pamelia Edmunds Anna Seigler FIFTH GRADE— Emily Dukes Edna Cartledge Daisy Parks Edith Robertson Lewis Rich SIXTH GRADE— J.

HOPE TO REACH QUOTA WITHIN AN OTHER MONTH COLUMBIA, May 3.—(Special to The Messenger)—The Victory Cam paign of the Democratic party, to raise funds for use in the *1932 elections, is continuing in full swing, according to Senator R. M. Cooper, Jr., secretary and treasurer, and it is expected the state’s- quota will be raised before another month has passed. Reports from national head quarters are that several states have already completed their quotas in the drive for a million and a half dollars and others have collected more than half the funds needed to complete their allot ments. . While South Carolina has not yet entered the class of those states completing as much as half of their quotas, Democratic leaders believe that party members will come for ward at an early date and donate their full share. The money collected in South Carolina will be used in electing a Democratic president and con gress, Senator Cooper has been in formed by John W. Davis, general chairman of the drive. The party’s deficit has already been taken ’are of, Mr. Davis said. Many county chairmen and chairmen of the young people’s organization in the drive have been appointed and others are being 'anored in this manner daily. It is •pected ail those to take part : the drive will be selected short- The only thing lacking to make rtain a triumph by the party in 'is fall’s general elections, prom- lent party leaders of the state and ation believe, is sufficient funds to arry on the fight. It is expected f outh Carolinians, realizing the l cnefit to the state and nation of a 1 emocratic-controlled government, will contribute their full quota be fore the end of the campaign. 2X2 A young giraffe may grow to be eighteen feet tall.

(By Thomas Love Peacock) Oh! say not woman’s heart is bought With vain and empty treasure. Oh! say not woman’s heart is caught By every idle pleasure. When first her gentle bosom knows Love’s flame, it wanders never; Deep in her heart the passion glows, She loves, and loves for ever. Oh! say not woman’s false as fair, That like the bee she ranges! Still seeking flowers more sweet and rare, As fickle fancy changes. Ah, no, the love that first can warm Will leave her bosom never; No second passion e’er can charm, She loves, and loves for ever.
