TO BOOST THIS SECTION.

In the issue of September q, this
newspaper carried the following sug-
gesticn in it's editorial columns:
"The feasibility and practicability
of forming an industrial organization
looking to the development of all
Western North Carolina cities, towns
and counties is quietly being discuss
ed in some quarters. Splendid idea
and one that should appeal to the
favorable consideration of every en-
terprising citizen resident of this
truly wonderland. The suggestion
carries with. it the propositionAcf
forming a central organization, COM
posed of representatives selected by
the various communities constituting
the as~sociational bcdnds, whose duties
shall be the exploitation of the at
fractions and advantages of the en-
tire western section5 in general, with
out regard to locality. This is worthy
of consideration to say the least"
And now the editor is invited to at
tend a banquet at the Battery Park
Hotel, Ashevflle, on Monday evening
October 9Th, the purpose of which is
the bringing together of editors, may,
ors and other business men of Wes-
tern North Carolina to discuss ways
and means of exploiting the attrac-
lions and advantages of this entire
section. President Finley, of the Sou
thren Railway, will be the principal
speaker and the meeting is to be held
under the auspices of the Asheville
board of trade. 1t is proposed to dis
cuss and take such action as may be
thought advisable, by those present,
to secure the cooperation of all in
terested in advertising the resources
of this mountain country as a whole.
1t is our opinion that Henderson
vile may well afford representation
at the meeting proposed, for all of
her citizens are, or should be, inter
ested in. the immediate development
of this wonderland. 1t has been JUST
ly claimed that the climate and seen
cry of Western North Carolina, "the
fairest of countries, whose gleam-
ing mountains toss cloud-crowned
heights far into an azure sky" may,
with the combined energies of her
progressive citizenship, be converted
into the most attractive spot on this
mundane sphere. If all these trans
montana countries, which are in the
heart of the most magnificent noun
tain scenery on the American COUNT
nent, should unite and act as a unit in
determined efforts to make this sec
ton the playground of the world, it
is impossible to f~oretell the glorious
accomplishments that would result.
+ Thousands of Americans go abroad
every year in search Of just the kind
of climate and beautiful mountain
scenery that exists in Western North
Carolina. With concerted action a
large proportion of these tourists
may be attracted to this section. And
why may not the stream of foreign
travel be turned this way? Western
North Carolina has only to be seen to
be appreciated. With all the people
united and earnestly exercising their
best efforts in the direction outlined,
great things are possible. What
would be considered absurd for one
town, city or county to undertake, be-
comes a simple matter for a commune
ity, of influences. So here's for Wes-
tern North Carolina.
