DIXIE HIGHWAY
THROUGH THIS
)! COUNTY. LIKELY
(By DR.. L. B. Morse.)

A most important and highly en-
thusiastic meeting OF representative
citizens. county commissioners and
road enthusiasts between Knoxville,
Tennessee, and Augusta, Ga, was
held in Asheville on Thursday, March
IA, 1918. The meeting was called
for the purpose of perfecting plan
to secure the mapping of the new
scenic division OF the Dixie Highway
change is easily seen by the accom-
panYing map Of the Dixie Highway.
A very fun representation was
present and probably a more spirited
good roads meeting has, never yet
been held in Western North Carolina.
The interest was absolutely unani-
nous in the proposed scenic division
and throughout the entire route the
people representing the many coun-
ties concerned gave verbal assurance
that their respective counties would
gladly cooperate with the Dixie High
way association in bringing their
roads up to the proper standards.
Without hardly a single exception
the proposed road is at the present
time in most excellent travelling con-
dition, there being perhaps not more
than two links wherein some extra
=
in Cox county, Tennessee, and the
other the lower stretch of South Car
olina, where there is yet some uncer-
tainty as to just the proper location
of the road. In the main, however,
the body of men present felt that they
were bringing to the Dixie Highway
association for the -latter's accept
ance, highway that was practically
completed.
In order to have the matter in very
definite shape it-w was the sense of the
meeting that on or about April Is "a
trip should be made over the entire
route by representatives along the
line, accurately. logging the road, set
ting forth the distances, conditions of
the road bed, etc. From the data OBJ
tanned very accurate map is. to be
made with which data will be accom-
panied by proper guarantees made by
the various county road authorities,
all of which is to be presented at the
annual meeting of the Dixie Highway
association, which is to take place
about. the middle of May in Chatta-

The Booth Meetings, the evange-
istic union services conducted by DR..
Herbert booth the youngest son of
the founder of the Salvation Army,
Gen. William Booth, have been in
progress since Sunday and are Great
ing considerable interest, his second
service being featured with an att
tendance which the seating CAPACITY
of the First Baptist church building
would not accommodate.
The initial service of what will be
a two weeks campaign was held Sun
day afternoon, when the attendance
was large, but the number present at
the Sunday night service was much
larger and all who went to hear this
world-famed evangelist, who has dur
ing his notable career addressed au-
diences of 10000 to 10000 in some
of the Iargest auditoriums of the
world, were not able to secure seats.
DR.. Booth always draws the crowds,
for he always has something inter-
esting to say. He says it in an in
teresting way and this way is con-
vincing and finally there is convic-
ton, hence the large number who
Nhave found Christ through his mes
sages.
DR.. Booth has style of preaching
that is generally termed original He
is dramatic He takes Biblical he
roes, revives them, talks with them
and acquaints them with present day
conditions and acquaints those now
Iivingwith the old characters and their
customs. DR.. Booth is not sensation
al but rather dramatic. He delivers
his messages with freedom and does
not hold himself to written notes nor
to any one spot on the pulpit plat
form. A large space is cleared on
the platform before he begins to de-
liver his message and if he can best
illustrate his message by free move
ment he does not hesitate to occupy
the whole platform.
Although DIR. Booth sprinkles his
messages with little humor, ne does
not resort to it as frequentlykas many
evangelists, but his hearers cannot
but>help smile when he resorts to his
burlesque style of depicting and i'm
persOnating characters.
DR.. Booth has some splendid help
ers in the person of his nephews, Rev.
Eric and Theodore Booth -Clibborn.
The former succeeded DIR. Booth and
arranged for the meeting. He is mus
ical director and he an dhis brother
who is a violinist of talent, comes in
for good service as member of the
orchestra and in rendering pleasing
violin solos.
A delightful feature of the music
is the part of the orchestra, which is

DR.. L. B. Morse's advocacy of the
military street dance, as given IN the
Hustler last week, did not find very
warm endorsement in church circles
last Sunday, but incurred righteous
INDIGNATION and condemnatOry action,
The Methodists and Baptists pounc-
ed upon the idea in its infancy and
lust about left it in stage of strang-
ulatiOn.
The First Baptist Baraca class and

and the Methodist and Baptist
churches in special conferences vigor-

The Mems Bible class spent a good
portion of it's class period in discuss

were made by Rev. Raymond Brown

Vance Norwood. They took the posi-

on dancing was too well known to re-
quire discussion of the issue, but took
occasion to re-iterate their convic-
-tions in the matter and the unfavora-
BILE light in which the street dances
of last year were held. The idea was
expressed that the church favored en-
tertainment of~the soldiers and the
doing of everything in reason for
in their behalf should be of a more
wholesome character than the street
dances.

The 80 colored boys drafted from

Zachary Taylor Saturday after
noon about 5 o'clock. All day Sat-
urday the streets were crowded with
colored folks and the demonstration
given the departing ones equaled if
not surpassed that given the white
boys. All Of the colored boys were
in the best of spirits and seemed
eager to get in "the big fray" They
were in charge of Cato Fisher, tnu
popular colored barber, and when
the train pulled out amid the strains
of popular airs the colored popula-
ton of this city was made to real
ize for the first time the sting of
the present war.

CLOCKS TURNED UP ONE HOUR

The Daylight Saving Bill went in
to effect Sunday and all clocks in
the United States we're advanced
one hour. There was some confusion
in this city owing to all Of the
churches with the exception of the
Baptist, going by the old time. Bust
ness houses will open one hour
earlier and close an hour earlier,
thereby giving employees and pro-
prietors an hour more of daylight
each day to enjoy as they see fit.
In other words, business houses will
now close at five o'clock by the old
time instead of six. People are rap
idly becoming accustomed to the
change and no more Inconvenience
are expected.

CANCER CLAIMS
YOUNG VICTIM
Miss LylIlan Heinrich Died at Her
Parents Home Sunday Night
From Cancer

Miss Lyllian Heinrich, aged "a
years, died at the home of her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Helm
rich, Sunday night = after several
weeks illness of cancer of the stom-
aeh. Miss Heinrich was an excep-
tionally bright and energetic young
woman and had been connecteG
with several large institutions Of
learning in the South. Possessiong
a disposition of rare sweetness she
easily made and retained friends.
She always took deep interest in
religious work and gave freely OF
her means, time and talent to the
furtherance of the work OF her
Lord and Master. That one so young
should be called so soon is often
hard for us to understand but He
that doeth all things well, knows
best and the sweet assurance that
she is asleep in Jesus should be
balm to the hearts Of the stricken
family.
The funeral was conducted at the
residence this afternoon by Rev. E.

SUPERVISORS IN SESSION

Under the law recently enacted
by the legislature, County Judge f.
w. Senff has increased the member
ship of the County Board of Su-
pervisors, which is now in session,
TO six, so that it is constituted of
the following well known taxpay-
ers: A. L. Upton, Charles E. Duff,
Ben w. Hall, John f. Richardson,
Thomas N. Coons and Robert How
ell.
These gentlemen will first assess
all omitted property and then by
equalization increase the assess
ment of the county one million dol
lars in accordance with the instruc-
tons of the State Tax Commission.
Notwithstanding the above in
crease, it is thought the people will
pay little more, if any, more in tax
es this year due to the fact that the
Fiscal Court has announced its in
tention of reducing the county levy
10 and two thirds per cent, or one
sixth.
