No greater boost .- had ever been given thecampaign than the Asheville Citizen -given in the following editorial: - A ', "Ashe, Alleghany and Watau ga are veritable empires' of po tential wealth and of sturdy -citi-''Eerisbip that are questioned by the laws of geography against : profitable contact with the other sections of North Carolina." Trap; . ped in by the mountains, the res idents of these ; counties must now against their own will and to the mortiflcation of their own State pride turn their faces to ward Tennessee and . Virginia. The isolation that has been their lot has'retarded the agricultural growth of these regions and has . kept them 1h the class of 'pauper counties.! This northwestern sec- tion which by air counts should ' be Jcontributing heavily to the wealth and prosperity of the Stale is rightfully referred to as Qonstito ting ''the lost provinces if North Carolina.' , ; 0 i "The only way to re-capture this rejgion for the State oY North parpliha andtoopeh it up to the phenomenal development which is its due, is to nulify the moun tain barriers' by constructing good roads out of this section in to other parts of North Carolina. Permanent highways tieing Ashe Alleghany and. Watauga up with : WilkesrForsyth, Yadkin and Sur ry, would farnish an immediate V outlet for the great deposit of ag . rlcultural and civic wealth that is imprisoned in these counties. ' A movement leading to the ft - construction of roads into these abandoned provinces-was launch- . ed at .Winston-Salem Friday. It should receive the earnest sup port of all the citizens of North , Carolina. A State bond issue may be necessary to acco mplisb ' this ambition! If these counties are notable through local, taxa-. tion to construct the local high ways, the State should not with- " hold the assistance. The estab lishment of liaison between these countief ."and the , remainder, of Iorth Caroliaa Is one of the sor- - est seeds ol the State. . -v v .

The contractor, who re sides in Lenoir, put himself un der .sufficient- bond to the ' Govj ernment to warrant the carrying of the mail on the schedule pro vided by the Postoffice Depart ment, which is to leave Boone daily at 6:30, a. m make the trip to Lenoir and return to Boone at 5:30, p. m. This, to be sure, is quite an undertaking, but the contractor so understood it when he undertook tire big job. - When the weather was fine through the summer ui;d fall, with plenty of passengers at the exorbitant rate of $4.00 for the trip to Lenoir, the mail came in on time, and there was . no complaint of any hardship, whatever. But, at the very 'first hint of winter, condi tions quickly changed, and now, for the most part, the mail that should arrive here in the evening comes nere some time the next day, and it is taken back as far as Blowing Rock that night, ta king the best part of two days to get a letter to 'Lenoir, r One day last week daily papers of the State were delivered to their rea ders in Boone that had ;been off the presses for three days, when they were due here; the .same day they were printei'That the road from Boone o Blowing Rock is bad at this season of the year, is an admitted fact, and this the contractor knew when he bid off the route for a second four yews,nd.iejeopla. hare. are decidedly of the o pi ni on that he should make uood his bonded contract with the Gov- r ..."

Mr; Craig, of the Presbyterian church. The entire lower floor of the. bail ling was "attractively , deco rated and lighted, and in the re ception hall an orchestra com posed of friends dispensed sweet music.
