Democracy and local notes from Blowing Rock to Dudley Shoals
A Political tirade condemns moneyed buyouts of votes and calls out hypocrites while detailing local affairs. The column reports on Crescent College property in Blowing Rock, moves of Graybear and Harman to East Tennessee, Appalachian Training School updates, cider from frozen apples, and lectures by Rev. Brendall. It notes a Hickory Governor visit, Dems in Caldwell, church changes, a barn accident, a lumber foreman’s resignation, a planned cotton mill at Dudley Shoals, and visits by Lieut. Mott to Statesville.
