THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION

The new highway commission took office
last week and it is too early to yet predict what
attitude they will take toward helping us out
on roads in this county. We had carried our
pleas to Mr. Waynick until he at least knew
that we had number of roads needing to be
built. Now we will have to start all over again
with MIR. Dunlap. BY giving the chief and his
commission the benefit of the doubt, we will
look forward to friendly and satisfactory rela-
lions with them during the next four years, but
we should take advantage of each and every
opportunity to urge them to build our roads
here before they spend thousands as has been
done, in tearing up and rebuilding roads that we
up here would consider boulevards. And instead
OF spending thousands in shortening distances
from one place to another when good, but per-
haps longer road is already in existence, let us
urge them to remember our Trade Warrensville
road, our Helton road, our Obids road, our
Scottville-Laurel Springs road, and our many
others too numerous to mention
The Wilkes member of the commission is
near enough for us to be able to get our peti-
tons and our delegations heard Lets take adj
vantage of it and not let it be said if we get no
roads that it was partly our own fault.

air, the purest water, the most beautiful Seen
cry, and the sincerest hospitality II nobody
knows about it but us?
A free camping site should more than pay
for itself the first summer it is donated as such.
1t would be an inducement to tourists to visit
with us and tarry while In this day OF trallers
and camping out, entire families could take adj
vantage of the opportunity to park and camp on
the grounds. They would, in turn, tell other
families and other travellers.
When traveller stops in any community
for even few hours, he spends money there.
Grocery stores would benefit materially by
Ashe countys becoming mecca for tourists
and campers. Nor need it necessarily be the
grocery stores alone-hardware stores,dry goods
and notions stores, and garages and gasoline
stations would come in for share OF the profits.
And once becoming acquainted with us, the
tourist would return during successive vacation
periods and it is not impossible that he might
be attracted enough to buy summer home
with us.
Ashe county is essentially summer para
disc that city wage earners would be glad to
flock to if any inducements were offered or it
they knew about it. It wouldn't hurt to try adj
vertising free camping site for summer
and if it fails to produce the desired results it
could be stopped for the following summer with
no trouble and no one hurt.
We need to make every effort to sell Ashe
county to others as completely we who live
here have already sold it to ourselves.

Dome of Brick Kiln
Collapses in Tenn.
Ashe County Man in Accident
But Escapes Without Being
Injured Seriously

The. dome of brick kiln belong
ing to a Johnson City brick COM
pany collapsed last week killing
two men and injuring others.
The accident was the worst of it's
kind in Johnson City in years, but
the number of dead proved to be
smaller than was generally antici-
pated when news of the collapse
first was spread about 2:45 p. m. It
was known at that time that Arthur
Galloway, Main street resident, had
also been buried when the timber
supporting the crown of the kiln
gave way and allowed tons of brick
an debris to fall upon the men
working beneath it, and it was fear
ed he was killed.
At Appalachian hospital today, it
was said Galloway was not seriously
hurt and he might 60 home within
the next two or three days." He
is suffering chiefly from bruises on
his arms, legs and body.

last summer for constable and who

OUTSTANDING BEAUTY

Those who have visited the outstanding
points of scenic interest in Western North Caro-
lima claim that the views from the top of the
Negro Mountain equal and even excel all 9TH
ers. Water is within easy reach from the top
and the whole mountainside affords an excel
lent picnicking ground.
Ashe has real show place now of which we
can be justly proud. Then why shouldn't we, at
once get some publicity signs out on our main
travelled highways telling the public where the
mountain is, how high it is and how long it
takes to drive up it? People who would other
wise pass us by would be glad of chance to
view the lanscape DER" from the Negro if they
only knew about it.

AN OBSOLETE WORD

Judging by its action on the second defici-
ency BILL Congress would do well not to debate
the issue of economy the next time any spend
ing measure is under consideration.
1t used up the day of Wednesday discussing
the question of reducing Federal expenses and
then closed it's proceedings by adding 100000
to the deficiency bill under consideration.
It is painfully clear that economy is one
word that has virtually passed out of the lexi-
con of the Washington spendthrifts.- Charlotte

President Roosevelt certainly has way of
getting things done. Daily newspaper headlines
are of the opinion that his supreme court plan
might be carried in Congress- When it was first
mentioned, Congress was against it and the pub
lie was sure the end of the government was at
hand. It is already an old issue with the odds
in favor of Mr. Roosevelt.
