This ^ delegation organized by electing Mr. Greer spokehman an<l went before the State Highway Commission to secure ^ i the endorsement of the Commission ^ ' and their recommendation to the Federal Bureau of Roads that this route | thus far known the Black Bear (Trail, be given a Federal Number. | After laying the matter before the !

Matters at the norma! are moving J on in a manner generally most satis j factory in ali the work of the insti- J tuiiott.

' Work is being: pushed on the drives 1 of the campus even though much of \ 'he time the weather has been unt* favorable for work of this nature.

IL-Bittck Bear Trail from Toronto to Miami, got the eu(icrscmont of the State Highway Com mission this afternoon for a Federal number ?.?u that part of the road which traverses Western North Carolina. The route runs through Sparta, Jefferson, Boone. Marion and Rutherfordton, sections of rare scenic beauty, and a large delegation of citizens from along the way appeared before the commission to ask its recognition in a movement under way to get the trail included in the federal highway system. The name given the route wascarefully avoided in the commissions resolution of endorsement out of respect for Chairman Frank Page's warning that highways denominated "trails" are out of favor with the federal board which is interested only in the route. The tentative map of the trail carries an alternative route from Marion to Asheville, Hendersonville. Chimney Rock ami Rutherfordton. J. G. Stikeleather, Asheville, moved for the inclusion of it in the resolution of end" Moment, but the motion was withdrawn when lho alternative route threat*. ?? d to develop complications.

Our editors certainly hit a bright spot when they stated that they inj tended to keep the Democrat clean ; and free from slurs that cannot be i founded on facts from getting into print. To this we can say that they are right, and personal matters should bo settled outside of ncrspnperdom. but public criticism well , founded should have . free press as liberal constitution provides and should never be throttled. ifef
