AS a result of the efforts of Col.
John T. Patrick of the Bat Cave and

Henderson county who are especially
interested in the betterment of the

hundred volunteer workers on August

will be done under military rules
somewhat similar to those that prevail
ed nj the recent good roads period
which resulted in about 500 days of
work in two days time on the highway
from Rutherfordton to the Chimney
Rock section.
Henderson county road enthusiasts
participated in this result as result of
which the people of Rutherford county
around Chimney Rock will join the
citizens of Henderson county in i'm
proving one of it's most public and i'm
portant highways.
Colonel Patrick states that he has
lad assurances of cooperation in this
work from hundreds of people along
the highway and in Hendersonville
and the Bat Cave and Chimney Rock
sections and is confident that he will
have more than thousand volunteer
road workers on these two days. The
forces have been organized and cap
tains will be in charge of designated
links of the road.
1t is hoped to put the road in ex-
cellent condition for summer use so
that the home people and visitors can
find travel over this road much more
comfortable than heretofore.
All persons interested in this road
builaing project are urged to lend a
helping hand.
