tet about it with determination.
with tireless energy and undauted
nitiative he I egan to call attention to
iust what its completion meant in the jj
ievelopmenl of this wonderful, heautfiul
section of the United States and *
Junudn. Leaving no stone unturned c
ind with unusual lavishness of per- h
oiinl funds, he made pioneer trips, r
$ot in touch with other interested
,?arties, brought ends together and j
inited them into a whole in the or- ?}
;ani/.ation of the Appalachian Scenic 5
Highway Association. By dint of j
lard work, writing, advertising, map- ;
ping and personal contact, he has sue- ?
:edded to a point that it is now be-I]
pond a reasonable certainty. Mr. ;
Marvel may be properly and truth-j?
fully referred to as the real genius 11
the undertaking, and to mention ;)
,hut highway is almost a synonym for '
:he name of "Marvel." Nothing .
short of dogged determination could ]
lave accomplished it. j
If one will take down the map of the ?
sections, state? and domnions through !
which the ASH winds its devious \
ways, nnd read up on the histories of ]
;he places it traverses, he will find <
t most intei eating and entertaining,'
for days and nights, and could, with-j'
>ut fatigue, prolong it through weeks |
and even months. Just one instance:;]
Fifteen of the twenty-nine presidents';
>f the United States were furnished |<
by four of the states through which i!
Jie ASH runs?namely, Tennessee.:}
Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York..?
Some writer has justly said that !
the ASH is the "Backbone of Eastern ]
America," and it is in more ways than '
>ne. The colonial history, as well as <
early pioneer days of America, are !
interminably entwined with the ter- ;
ritory traversed, not to mention the ?
wonderful rivers, mountans, gorges, !
/alleys and battle fields; great uni- ]
.ersities (white, Indian and Negro), '
is well as advance in art, science and
modern inventions that have in the !
past two or three decades revolution- '
zed the whole world's activities along <
avery line of human endeavor, and 1
effecting every phase of life.

MURPHY, N. C.
p cf Eastern America, where a for- '
iter's light shines like Venus at i
rilight, the view is superb and inudes,
it is said, poitions ??f five
ates. According to the great
oithern author, Harry Stillwell Ednrds:
''Mountain seems piled on
ounlain. the peaks receding into disinces
the eye cannot fathom, the
hole constituting a land of alim-st
; palling grandeur and mystery,
vcr it the poet rhapsodizes, the artt
dreams and the novelist thrills,
o matter what background or foreround
be needed, it is to be found
t're in these mountain? traversed by
le ASH.
Hut there are others than poet,
rtiat, novelist, who come to these
enes for thought. These are the
iitfosophers, who deal in cause and
Tect; who seek the wherefore and
hence; and who speculate on the
legibilities. To concede that onyling
is wasted is to accuse the Croatr
and to slander Nature. No true
liilosopher is ever guilty of such
rror. The perspective of. the un
i light human is of hut a generation
r two, and a handful of generations
annot measure a mountain.
"The great Appalachian range is
le exposed vertebra of a land from
hich physical causes have stripped
tie soil for use elsewhere. Hut verteraes
carry the vital forces in all
ature. and that which to the fHreaching
eye of the human atom on
mountain top seems waste, is really
he protecting sheath of wealth. As
ar separated points, in quantities innitesimal
compared with the reasonille
possibilities, have been found
ources of wealth in these mountains
or the enrichment and development
f the human race. Th s column
rould not hold a bald list of the c-leDents,
the ores, oil, gas, minerals and
hemical compounds of the rocks,
rees and verdure of what we know as
he Blue Ridge.
"The past of the Appalachians, or
3 we know them, the blue Ridge, is
i fascinating study, but the past is
inly of value as a basis for prophecy
nd promise of the future. The great- j
st asset of the South today is the
Hue Ridge Mountains, and the study
f them is of immeasurable imporance.
Remove the Blue Ridge, were
uch a thing possible, ar.d you remove
ho source of southern rivers and, of
qunl importance, souther springs 'hat
ise from deep sources. In a word, j
ou sweep away agriculture by leav- j
ng it dependent on local Khowcis. j
Vithout the Blue Ridge, coal, iron,1
il, natural gas, cement, coke, lime ]
nd other factors of human develop- J
nent would rise to fabulous values;
n the South.
"It was Pope who said that the
iropei study of mankind is man, and
le was right, if he intended the study
o be exhaustive. Man is by common
onsent a child of Nature. We picture

A.id the processes of creation,

Visible nature vanishes into thin air,
swiftly or slowly as the case may be,
and its elements come back for rc.ombinatins

The supreme factor in the South is
the Blue Ridge, whose hands pluck
the clouds and srather the harvest of
the skies. And so it is the philosopher,
delighting in the skill of the
artist, the song of the poet, the dnama
of the novelist, yet look* over and beyond
theni all and sees the laboratory
of Nature and Nature's God, the
mighty mountains at their immemorial
task. Waste? God has no jimk
