The highway from Rutherford ton that Mr. Mcßee is building to and through Chimney Rock and over the gap to a connection with the Buncombe hard-surfaced boulevard, is a very fine one oi its class. It is sand-clay for the present, but surely we understood Chairman Page as saying that as it i£ a part of the highway from the mountains to the sea,' it_ is to carry hard-surfaced finish. The new work is completed from Rutherfordton out about 10 miles with old and new surveys com bined, and thence to Chimney Rock it has been graded and sanded and put in readiness for the roller. The entire road should be turned over to travel within two weeks, and then between Rutherfordton and Hickory Nut Gap we will have a road similar in construction and finish to the celebrated white sand-clay be tween Kings Mountain and Shel by. It is what is classified by the State as a "dependable" highway, to remain so until made perma nent by asphalt and concrete. It is a reconstruction of the entire route and the public has been anxiously waiting word to jump on it. The topography of the sec tion admits of no detour and un til the roller gets by the traveler has to pull his way through deep sand, but the going is compara tively good unless it happens to be a rainy day. On all the highways an almost unbelievably fine condition has been established since the State's system of maintenance came into operation. Sandclay roads that were formerly known to be good are now excellent, and it is all the result of the road scraper and the ditch cleaner. And by the way, the travele** knows that he is approaching Hen dersonville, by 4:fce 30-foot hard surfaced boulevard he strikes some miles out and its bordering of a new setting of handsome summer homes. And he knows he is in Hendersonville when he en counters the side-walk heaps of building material, indicating a re vival of building activities. The beautiful boulevard through the town is changing its identity by reason of the many handsome new structures going up. The same is to be said of Rutherfordton. The business part of that enterprising little mountain city is undergoing a transformation. A feature of structural work in Rutherfordton is hidden from public view. Ail the wooden buildings which oc cupied "back lot"' position are be ing torn down and replaced with brick stores, garages and ware houses. Rutherfordton is in thi way building up its waste spaces and concentrating its commercial enterprises. The addition to the Iso-Thermal Hotel is going to complete her sum of happiness for this year at least.. And the transformation of For est City is another thing to talk about. Looks like the whole town has been built over and soma architects with excellent ideas have had a hand in the work. Its heart has been given a concrete setting and in the center is a sys tem of parking that is as pleasing as it is elaborate. There are three panelled parks and they look like the advertisement of a nursery. There are circles and squares of flowers set in between beds and clusters of spruce, arbor vitae, juniper and hemlock, pine and cedars of beautiful shape and of adult size. The three panels con stitute a parking effect that is re marked upon by all visitors for its beauty. Forest City has a popula tion with an eye for the beautiful. --Charlotte Observer. HOMEY PHILOSOPHY Don't it seem fine to get into your boat, lie face up in the sun light an' drift clown the stream or life without a care in the world? You pass hundreds of rocks, the eddies switch the boat from side to side an*'get you by safely, may be with here an' there a little scratch but not enough to set you worryin'. An' then you get it. Bump, an' over the falls you go. Boy, what a smash! If you have any thinkin' apparatus left you see where you tried to beat the game an' it didn't work out. Old Cap Nature says you've got to take hold of the oars an' row up ' stream if you want to land safely. Sometime's you've got to row i mighty hard to make headway but | you might as well tackle the job, because, there's no room for argu- I ment. Every river ends on the [ rocks or in the mudbanks and | that's where the fellow lands who drifts down the stream.
