penalties will be prescribed as when
unattested single men are called into
the army they will thereby he subject to

BENNETT GAP ROAD TO
PINK BEDS is NEEDED.

Col. John S.. Boggs, the Turkey
creek philosopher who spent a por-
ton of last week in the Pink Beds
and on Mt. Pisgah, is enthusiastic
over the proposed opening of the road
from the Patton or Davidson River
mill to the Pink Beds, this being the
road built several years ago by Van
derbilt.
Two surveys have been made re-
, Gently for this road. An engineer re-
Gently re-surveyed the road as the re-
suit of a visit to Washington by w. E.
Breese, jr., shortly after the flood.
Mr.. Breese says there is no appropria-
ton for the road but Col. Boggs has
heard that the government is~go.ng to
build it Immediately. Believing this
be thinks Brevard township should
build a good road from Brevard to
Patton's mill. a distance of about four
miles. The distance from there to the
&nk Beds, Mr.. Boggs says, is only
about eight miles. He contends that
this is the logical road for scenery,
thereby giving an opening into Bre-
ward for the % or more machines
visiting Mt. P.sgah daily from Ashe-
vile. He says the road is good from
Asheville to the Pink Beds via of Van
derbilt lodge.
The taking over Of Mt. Pisgah by
the government and the concessions
granted summer cottagers and camp
ers, Mr.. Boggs thinks, will mean a
great deal for this section if Brevard
will wake up and take advantage of
it, as Hendersonyille, WaynesvilIe and
Canton will do to share some of the
many blessings now received by Ashe-
vile.
This road would give tourists to
Haywood, Buncombe, Henderson and
Transatlantic a scenic loop of unsur-
passed mountain beauty.-Sylvan VAL

E,rank A. Linney, of Boone, candidate
for governor, and L. L. jenkins OF

Governor, spoke in the court house
Thich was comfortable filled but in
No wise crowded. This was the first
sntech made by Mr.. Linney in this
campaign this side of the Blue Ridge
and the second political speech made
nv Mr.. jenkins in 18 years, the other
being lust a few days ago. The lat
tor proved himself equal to the task,
however. and a number SAID he made

inst 40 minutes. However, it was ex-
nIained that Mr.. Linney was not feel

stuck to the job for an hour and
twenty minutes.
The Asheville man, who was intro
duced by R. H. Station, a member of
the local bar, waded right into the
subject with very few Introductory re-
marks. 1.-The state is politically sick
and the management ill.," he said,' -
and the republican party is one sure
remedy" MI. Jenkins wouldn't
mount the rostrum in the court house
because it looked too much like a pull
pit 10 him and he was afraid it might
lead him to quote scripture, and an
other reason was that he liked to be
near his audience.
Touching upon the tariff in national
politics he said "For ages so far back
that the memory of man runneth not

have been fundamental issues. Mr.
Wilson had scarcely been inaugurated

Turning to state matters Mr.. Jenk

would do for the state if the voters
gave him a chance. 1.-The Democrats
have been resting on their oars, be-
lieving themselves safe, but 1 have
