Italy fully intends to safe

Everyone should be pleased at the

Ethiopia"

Commissioners Spend
Busy Day on Monday
Several Resolutions Asking for State
Maintenance of County Roads
Adopted by Commissioners

The Board of County Commission
ers spent a busy day Monday listen
ing to various complaints and set
Ting many affairs that came up be-
fore the board.
Several resolutions were passed
and sent to the correct sources ask
ing that county roads be put on state
maintence maps. Among these reso-
lutions was one asking that the
Hagaman road connecting with the
Old Bear Pen Road near ]. w. Hamp-
toms and w. r. Roten's be placed on
the state map for state maintenance.
It was shown that this road would
accommodate many families and was
much used. Another road which the
commissioners asked be designated
as a public road and added to the
state map is the road that joins
Wagner to the survey Of the ma
tional parkway On the mountain.

CONSTRUCTION ON N. C. PART j
OF PARKWAY HAS NOW BEGUN
Six Million Dollars Available for
Work Now; Completed Project
to Cost Twenty Million

Construction on the North Carolina
side of the national parkway is actu-
ally underway as contracts for the
first link on this side of the line have
been let and bids on the eight mile
section from Roaring Gap to Air Bel
lows were advertised a week ago.
Advertisements for bids on sections
from Air Bellows to Deep Gap, a dis
lance of AZ miles, will be advertised
within the next few weeks. It is hop
ed that all contracts will be let on
North Carolina sections by the first
Of November.
Virginia is having troubles of. her
own with the problems ofgetting the
necessary right of ways.
Thus far, the park service said, it
had receir1l deeds for neither the 200
foot parkway right of way nor the
additional scenic easements in Vir.
ginia, and construction can not be
started without these deeds.
The parkway route is 500 miles
long, the distance about equally d.
vided in Virginia and North Carolina
The program outlined at present
provides for construction of parkway
sections, which park service officials
said would be disable units in them
selves, besides severing as connections
between existing highways Or cities
and leading toward completion of the
continuous scenic and recreational
parkway connection between the pro-
posed Shenandoah and Great Smoky
Mountains national parks.
The approved route Of the parkway
follows the Blue Ridge mountains
from the Shenandoah National park,
crossing the James river, and thence
southwesterly past the peaks of Otter
and Adny Gap to the Virginia-N North
Carolina line. In North Carolina it
runs through Roaring Gap, Deep Gap.
Blowing Rock, Linvills, Buck Greek
Gap, skirts South of Mount Mitchell
and passes south Of Asheville into the
Graggy and Pisgah ranges. The route
bends sharply northwest to Soco Gap
and enters the Great Smoky park of
Cherokee.

Two Ethiopian Cities Fall
Before Troops from Italy
Ethiopian Emperor
Amazed at III DuceS
Methods of Warfare

Halle Selassie, the sad-eyed King
of Kings and Emperor of the harass-
ed empire of Ethiopia, issued the fol-
lowing comment on the uncivilized
methods of warfare used during. the
past week by the Italian IT Duce
Mussolini:
"Mr. Mussolini charges as with be-
ing barbarians and says he wishes
to civilize US. Is the wanton slaughter
of women and children by air bombs
and machine guns the kind Of eivili-
cation he wishes to give us?
81 cannot think the great italian
people, celebrated through the CEN
turtles for their arts, humarities, let
tiers and culture, have so little chfval-
ry left toward womankiind. I cannot
believe that all of Mussolinirs people
support him in such a campaign.
eve expected that when the Ftal-
ians began their campaign they would
confine their operations to our sol
diers. What does the world think of
aviators who, when they see helpless
women and childrn fleeing for their
lives and the horror Of air bombs, de-
libeately shower them with machine
gun BULLETS from the air? Have gal
lantry and manliaess fled from the
world?
Besides, what have we done to
provoke these cruel attacks on land
and in the air? The Italians say we
massacred innocent shepherds. It is
untrue. The blood is On their hands
not ours. Our conscience is. clear. The
position of Ethiopia is clear and we
have committed 40 act to justify this
invasion"
The sovereign said hewas especially
amazed that Mussolini should order
the air-bombing of Aduwa which, he
said, was completely unfortified and
inhabited only by women, children
decrepit and sick since the proclama-
ton for general mobilization called
all .able-bodied men to the front.
