This festive season brings joyous re-
unions and pleasant greetings; the
table is loaded with flush autumn
cheer. it is time to Danish anxiety
and sadness, to revel in all good things
of life. But this thoughtless, indiffer-
ent stage does not always continue
Later on there comes a consciousness
that gratitude is due someone for the
countless blessings bestowed. This
dawning consciousness often awakes

that it is asserted that more miles of it are
being built in this country than of all other
kinds of roads combined While in some COM
munities sand-clayl roads are looked upon
askance, not having lived up to their repu-
tation, the experience of the road supervi-
sor here, 2. F Patton, has been happy one
with it. Mr. Patton said recently: 1t is my
opinion that we have the most favorable sec
ton in which to build sand-clay roads. This
is due to the fact that no other section that
/ have ever visited has the same quality of
sand, or coarse gravel, that we have here in
Henderson county in such abundance. This
being the most important ingredient in the
construction of sand-clay roads and having
the best quality that can be found in North
Carolina, I have the greatest confidence in
the sand-clay roads. "
Fifty thousand dollars was the amount
of money given to improve all of the leading

Greenville; S. C.TgItghas been the 1nattersof
but a year or two since this road was in poor
condition. Now it is kept in the very best
possible shape at all seasons, and has lost
none of its excellence by reason of having
rival trans mountain road. Greenville coun~
ty is doing it's part faithfully to maintain
this road in proper condition for use for all
sorts of travel. The coming season will
doubtless find it still the route Travelled by
the greatest number of people from the Pied
mont country
Other Roads Improved.
Within the year the following roads have
been graded and most of them heavily sand
ed, within the county: The Grab Creek road,
Price Lane road, Mud Creek road, Willow
road, Flicker School House road, Finley Cove
road, Mt. Hebron road, Shaw's Greek road
Haywood road, Asheville' road, Clear Creek
road, Edneyville road, Blue Ridge road,
Dana road, Upward road, the Old Spartan
burg road, and the New Spartanburg road.
These roads constitute more than one hum
dred miles of road and as for the manner in
which this work has been done, if any one
will take the time to drive over them he will
be in better position to judge as to the
character of the work done.
Hickory Nut Gap Work.
For the past 10 months the State OF North
Carolina has had from SO to so of their con-
victs under State management constructing
the Charlotte and Asheville highway through
Henderson county from the Rutherford
county line to the Buncombe county line at
the head Of Hickory Nut Gap. This is dis
lance of LIS miles. About IL miles Of
this road has been constructed.
Our Road Supervisor
So well has Preston F. Patton done his
work of supervising the construction and
maintenance of the roads Of Henderson
county, that his services are in demand in
many parts of this and adjoining states
Mr.. Patton besides having "long head" in
q business way, enjoys the confidence of all
the citizens of the county. His judgment in
matters concerning road building is seldom
questioned, so well has he done his work,
and at such surprisingly low figures. Mr.
Patton is a great asset to the community.

A Wonderful New Road.
An event in road building in the South is
the recent completion Of the wonderful new
automobile highway from Spartanburg, s.
S., to Asheville, N. c., through Henderson
vile. This gigantic undertaking of putting
a modern, graded, surfaced road right
through the heart of the mountains of North
Carolina may well have baked the people
of rich,. thickly populated counties. When
it is considered that this work was under
taken by thinly settled counties such as
Polk county and Henderson county are, one
may readily see the great faith the people
have in the future of this section. The
combined cost of this new highway for
stretch of only twenty miles was over $55 900.
Polk county cut out of the mountain s side
a broad roadway for distance. of eight
miles, extending from the town of Tryon to
the county line, north of Saluda. There it
was taken up by Henderson county and con-
tinued to the city of Hendersonville. From
the city of Spartanburg to the Polk county
line it was improved by the authorities of
Spartanburg county last year in anticipation
of the early-complet of the mountain link
between Tryon, Salnda and Hendersonville.
Beyond this latter point the route to Ashe-
vile lies along wellbuilt highway that
has been in use for years by all travellers i'll
vehicles from the low-country to Asheville.
The trip from Tryon up the Pacolet gorge
is unsurpassed for beauty and grandeur.
Every variety of scenery is encountered, and
the foliage is wonderful No pains have
been spared to preserve as far as possible
the original wilderness of the country
through which the road runs. At the same
time, everything that contributes to the
safety and comfort of travellers has been
considered. It is safe to predict that this
highway will prove exceptionally popular
this coming summer. By this route great
saving in time and distance is made by those
wishing to reach Tryon, Saluda and points
beyond, by motoring. Heretofore long trip
around by way of Greenville had to be un-
dertaken. This is no longer necessary for
those living in the more northernly and
easternly located counties of South Carolina.
The grade Of the road is exceptionally low
the entire distance, and fast time is possible
both ways.
