JACKSON THE KEY TO ROAD
SITUATION IN THE WEST

Jackson County holds the strate-
eic position in the construction OF
State highways if it will only act
promptly and progressively. Bun
combe naturally holds the first po-
sition because roads radiate natur-
ally in all directions from Asheville.
Fifty miles west from there is our
progressive town of Sylvia, from
which highways radiate naturally in
all directions. We perhaps have
more miles of State highways natur-
ally radiating from Sylvia than any
County in the West-first is the
road leading from the Balsam Gap
via Sylvia toward the Tennessee and
Georgia lines, with Swain and the
other western Counties enthusiast
cally and urgently demanding its
construction. Next and of no less
importonce, is the highway begin
ming at Sylvia and extending up
Savannah to Franklin and on to
the Georgia line at Clayton, with
the Macon County people enthus-
iastic and demanding its construc-
ton. and State Hi 5hway extend
ing from Sylvia up the Tuckasei6ee
river to the South Carolina line and
also connecting with the road to
Brevard. The Pennsylvania citizens
are enthusiastic for this road be-
cause it connects two important
County seats by a route with one
half the distance that the road can
be built any other way, besides this
road would open up one OF the
richest sections in natural Il sources
there is in the State, in scenic
beauty it would not have an equal
in the State.
These roads are all of the dignity
of State highways and entitled to
participate in Federal and State aid,
if our intelligent and influential cit
izens will all get back of the move
ment and thoroughly cooperate to
this end. AS stated in the beginning
with progressive and intelligent ac-
ton, we hold the strategic position
We cannot afford to be the dog in
the manger and lose this by fore
ing all the other Counties which sc
badly need highways to find a way
to get around us. Let us have in.
telligent, progressive and united
action. This question is too big, toe
important, and holds too closely il
its grasp the future progress ano
hopes of our County and our citizen
ship for us to have any division O
factions among our people.
Let us have the State Highwa,
Bill and the County Wide Bill el
dorsed by the Good Roads meetin

This is the only important crop show

as compared with 1918. Approx
mately $4,000 acres was devoted to
this crop in 1918. but the yield was
unsatisfactory in many districts and
the price obtained was much lower
