One million dollars for good roads in Wes-
tern North Carolina, of which 100000 will
be spent in Henderson county, tells in cold
figures of the good roads spirit abroad in
the beautiful Land of the Sky.
Here are the facts:
Rutherford county has voted $25O,OOO
for roads, Polk has voted 100000, Madison
100000. Buncombe has just issued $780,
600. Mcdowell has ordered the issue of
100000, and Transylvania $4,000. The
amount which will be spent in Henderson
county is estimated at $21O,O00,-this
amount being derived mainly from county
and township bonds to be issued by man
date of the legislature or by petition.
This makes a total of $1,060, 10000.
The Henderson county BOND issue made
mandatory by the legislature, is $4,000.
Petitions have been or are being signed for
township bonds as follows: Hendersonvile
township $4,000; Hoopers Creek $4,000;
Edneyville $4,000; total for those three
townships, $4,000. That together with the
county issue of $4,000 brings the amount
up to $4,000. The labor of the county
COuV1CLS Is 0SIIIudGSu dG P4H,OOO1 ILL IL
labor of the convicts of Hickory Nut Gap
highway at $4,000. This bring the amount
up to $144,000. Township bonds from Mills
River, Blue Ridge, Crab Greek and other
townships are estimated at $4,000. This
will bring Henderson, total up to $4,000.
Sand-clay oil surfaced roads can be con-
structed for about $3.50 per mile.
Therefore the expenditure of 81, 100000
should give this section about 1900 miles
of perfect sand-clay oil surfaced roads.
Good roads mean more and more desira-
BILE settlers. They mean the ultimate de-
velopment of Henderson county into a verit-
able garden spot, increased prosperity and
happiness for all.
Switzerland is a country where great
wealth, as understood in this country, is I'M
known.
But it is also a country wheer poverty is
absolutely unknown. y
Three well-defned causes have brought
about this highly desirable condition.
They are: wonderful mountain scenery.
good hotels and good roads.
The mountains of Western North Carroll
ma are even more beautiful, though less awe
inspiring, han those which annually attract
hundreds of thousands of tourists to Switz-
erland.
The good roads era is here in this section.
The hotels are already here and more will
certainly follow.
Therefore, in the course of time Switzer-
lands experience will be Western North
Cardinals a county where poverty will
eventually be absolutely unknown.

COMMISSIONERS
AUTHORIZE BONDS

Petitions signed by more than a majority
of the qualified voters of Hoopers Greek
and Hendersonyile townships, asking for
bond issues of $4,000 and $4,000, respect
lively, were presented Ito the board of coun-
ty commissioners in session Tuesday after
noon, the meeting being featured by the
abesnce Of a protesting voice, and May 10
was fixed as the date for receiving bids
and disposing of the bonds.
Hon. w. A. Smith presented the petition
for a $4,000 issue of 80 year 6 per cent
bonds for Hendersonvine township, stating
among other things that out of $50 quail
fed voters more than 500 had signed for a
bond issue.
p A LeLong presented the petition sign
ed by 172 of the 288 qualified voters of
Hoopers Greek township for a 6 per cent
80 year $4,000 bond issue. He further
stated that at a mass meeting Saturday
night five commissioners were elected to
handle the road money, as follows: j.. P.
Fletcher, chairman; P. A. LeLong, secre-
tary H. E. Lance, w. D. Bagwell, P. S..
Souther. These men were before the COM
missioners Tuesday and it was stated that
they were ready to perform their duties,
having been sworn In by Clerk of Court c..
M. Pace. Each Of the commissioners will
furnish $1,000 bond as a guarantee of the
performance of his duties.
Hendersonville township will not elect it's
road commissioners until after having given
ten days notice.
From all appearances there will be a
ready market for the bonds as two bids were
made at this meeting. Speaking for K. G.
Morris Of the First Bank & Trust company,
Mr.. Smith stated that the latter would give
los for the township bonds and the $4,000
county bono issue, all to bear 6 per cent
interest.
Chas. N. Malone speaking for himself and
A. Webb of Asheville stated that he
would give 107 for the county bonds, 1O1
for Hoopers Greek bonds and par for Hen
Jacksonville township bonds, the latter to
bear five and one-half per cent interest.
After lengthy consideration the board
deemed it better to postpone the sale Of the
bonds as the county bond issue had to be
advertised previous to sale and May 10 was
Fixed as the date for the sale of the bonds.
The petitions will be formally passed upon
by the commissioners and others interested
on May 10.
Twenty-Five or more persons were present.
The meeting was not attended by lengthy
s~peechmaking or a protesting voice against
the issuance of road bonds.

Various efforts have been made during
the past few years by the road enthusiasts
of Henderson and Greenville counties to
have this road built so as to afford an inlet
to the Gland Of the Sky" for the autoists
and other travellers of the south, ThesGreen-
vile people promised the Henderson coun-
ty people that they would meet at the state
line with a well-graded road. The Hender-
son county authorities went to work and
built a good road to the South Carolina line
but the South Carolinians did not meet them
with a new road. For various reasons the

Greenville, and the under present conditions
the road will be in fairly good shape during
the greater part of the year.
Z 1t is highly probable that a portion OF
$4,000 to be spent in Henderson county in
repairing, re-surfacing and building roads
will be expended in sand-claying the North
Carolina part of this highway five miles
of the twelve between here and the state line
having been sand-clayed.
The contract not only calls for the lay
ing out of a new road but also doing
away with a dangerous and difficult grade

passing over the road since it was built by
South Carolina in 1920. 1t is perhaps the
best known road in South Carolina, and in
the olden days stage coaches and carriages
used it frequently. It is the main means
of between WActern North Caro-
lima and the Greenville section of South Caro-

Washington, June 15.-Judge j. F.
C. Griggs of Florida accompanied
Representative. Wilson when he cali
ed on Attorney General McReynolds
Friday in regard to some miner mat
tiers before his constituents. Judge
Griggs has been here several days. he
is candidate for United States mar
shall of the northern district. He
probably will be here until Senator
Bryan. who has been in Florida about
ten days, returns to Washington.
AS soon as Rep. esentative Wilson
returned to Washington he called on
Postmaster General Burleson to in
quire into the status of the case OF
Edward Lewis. who was recommend
ed by Wilson for postmaster of Mari
anna. This appointment has been
held up for some time, owing to an
objection having been made to Lewis
appointment by Senator Bryan. Sen
ator Bryan's objection is soley on
the ground that the appointment Civ
en- Hays Lewis as internal revenue
collector of Florida would be enough
patronage for the Lewis family. Bry-
an has absolutely no personal objec-
| ton to Edward Lewis, and is under
stood to have a high regard for him
Representative Wilson went over the
| case with Burleson. and it was limited
at the department yesterday that
Lewis will be appointed, probably
within the next week.
Representative Wilson held two
hours conference Friday with Chair
man Carter Glass of the house bank
! ing and currency committee, and thor
oughly went over with Glass different
phases of the currency bill. 1t was
the first time that Wilson had ever
talked about the matter with Glass,
! Wilson also said that he had an ap-
pointment with President Wilson to
discuss the banking and currency
at length.

MANS LIKENESS TO GOD

Rabbi Stephen S Wise Of the Free
Synagogue of New York City, in an
article, entitled, The Life and Teach
ings of Jesus the Jew which we re-
printed in the Ocala Banner from the
Outlook last Sunday, said, among 9TH
er things. the following: Jesus taught
two great truths-the coming of the
kingdom of heaven. and that the king
dom of God is within man. thus en-
phasizing the two fundamental facts
of life That what is without leaves
its deep impress upon life and con
ditions it, and, on the other hand, that
even after the kingdom Of peace and
security has come without. still must
man seek and find the peace of the
kingdom of heaven within his own
soul. Thus the two chief teachings
of Jesus were the immanence of God
and the imminence of the kingdom
God immanent and the kingdom i'm
minent."
article, Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor Of
the Outlook, says: eve agree with
Rabbi Wise in his affirmation that
Jesus taught two great truths-the
coming kingdom of heaven, and that
the kingdom OF God is within man. .
Continuing. be says The most fun
people have contributed to the relig-
ious faith of the world is the truth
: embodied in the sentence: God made
man in his own image If God made
man or is making man in mis- own
likeness, then it is in man we are to
! look for the likeness Of God II into
man God has breathed his own Spirit,
then the Divine Spirit is in man, and
in that Spirit we are to find the man
Hesitation of the divine.
"Christianity accepts and reafirms
this fundamental doctrine of Hebra-
ism. Would you find God? Look for
him in your own soul The revela-
| tons of God, said one OF the great He
brew prophets, is not in heaven; that
thou shouldst say, Who shall go up
to heaven and bring it to us?' nor be-
yond the sea, that thou shouldst say,
Who shall go over the sea and bring
it to us?' but the word is very nigh
unto thee, in thy mouth. and in thy
heart, that thou mayest do it.
The fundamental faith. then. of Ju-
daism and Christianity says DR.. Alb
bolt. lis in this respect identical: God
and man are essentially the same;
God is humanity divine. and man is di-
| vinely human"

tor of this paper was called down good
