THE Good ROADS MEETING DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. In

The great good roads meeting
held at the court house last We'd
nesday, meeting attended by
over 400 delegates, representing
every county from Knoxville to
Snartanburg, and marked by the
greatest enthusiasm throughout,
witnessed the greatest impetus
ever given the cause of good
roads in North Carolina.
The meeting was under the
anspices of the North Carolina
geologic and economic survey and
the Southern Appalachian good
roads association. DR.. Pratt, the
head of both, presided. The
most remarkable feature of the
meeting, possibly, was the enthu-
siasm displayed by the delegates
from the country district an en-
thusiasm which means much to
the cause of good roads. G. w.
Conner of Bear Wallow, brought
down the house when, un-
announced, he said that if the
six-mile stretch at Hickory Nut
Gap we're surveyed, he and the
other farmers there would build
the road.
Asheville was we'll represented
at the meeting, " delegates
coming over in 26 automobiles.
The next convention will be held
in Knoxville during the fall.
Morning Session.
Mayor Station welcomed the
visitors to Hendersonville. DR..
Pratt outlined the purpose of the
meeting, which was to find out
from the representatives of the
counties and townships traversed
what had been done and what
had been arranged to be done to-
wards the construction of the
three different highways which
will connect this section with the
New York to Atlanta national
highway.
1--WE hope" said DR.. Pratt,
TO have things in shape, roads
located and graded and some of
them surfaced for an automo-
bile tour about October first from
Charlotte to Knoxville, Spartan
burg to Knoxville. and from
Greenville to Knoxville. via Hen
dersonville and Asheville. "
James H. Caine responded for
Asheville, and said the author
tiles were ready to meet any
county that might build a good
highway to the border line. He
complimented Mr.. P. F. Patton
for his efficient work in this
county.
Mayor Marshall responded for
Greenville. He and his party
came up in automobiles and
promised full support of his
county
W. G. Parks spoke for Knox
vile, inviting the next conven-
ton there and telling of the good
roads in that county, which
spends 100000 annually for that
purpose.
Mr.. Wood responded for Spar
tanburg, saying more farmers
and not more, residents of cities
IS the need of the South and only
goodroads will bring the farmers.

Tor of the Charlotte Observer,
