I h i s Asheviile-Murpby-Atiania Highway will mean much to North' Carolina and Georgia, to the whole South, but its ioriual opening is particularly a great event in the life oi the people along the route irom Asheville. I"he people of these counties west oi Asheville were until recent years isolated irom the rest of the State;,1 they* were cut off irom easy com- 11 munication with the people of Geor- ^ gia and the lower South. Many en- \ * terprises have been carried to com- ** pletion within the past ten years for c the upbuilding of Western North 1 Carolina. The Asheville-Murphy c highway, one of the State's greatest i h achievements in building mountain c highways, ranks with the first of all (s social and economic undertakings for * the material and spiritual advance- 1 meat of this whole region.?Ashe- 1 ville Times. j 11 knoxville, Aug. 22 1926 1 Editor Scout:- 1 I find myself this morning here in J this modern city, which altho it has ' its hundreds of churches, schools and ' other organizations for the better- 1 ment of society, it has just as many 1 inducements to evil. 1 I arrived here last Tuesday after- 1 noon with my two sons, Herbert and 5 Howard, and Charley Morgan. We left home early in the morning and after replinishing our supply of "gas* at Isabella, and getting the coils in our Ford adjusted at Ducktown, we came on over the Kimsey Highway, stopping now and then to take in the ' sights, etc., on to Reliance, Pender- 1 grast, Coperhill, Etowah and Athens where we got on the Lee Highway which by the way, is nearly all concrete, and Macedonia to Knoxville. It was pleasant driving as it was cool with no dust and we had absolutely no car trouble as we came in on the same air we left on. Just one year and one day before, a part of us made the same trip over the same road. We could not help noting the contrast in crop conditions. Last year they were all ready to burn except in low places, and were total failures, while this year I have never seen them more promiaing. We saw many fat cattle gracing in green pastures, where last year there was scarcely a sprig of green, at this time with nearly all the cattle very lean. Another thing we could not help to take notice of, nearly all along the way where there was sn apple tree, it was loaded with fruit. Many of the farmers in parts of the section we traversed are growing tobacco. We saw grept fields of it. A farmer was killed just a few miles from here Friday afternoon by lightening, tvhile caring for some tobacco in a rain. We are here on North JJroadway ind Ceici Streets, helping to erect a :ity oi tents wr.ere the Cumberland Conference of Seventh Day Adventist will hold their annual camp meetng commencing September 1. aim .ontinuing 10 days. There will be, ill told about 80 tents pitched with ibout 300 people camped on the ground. There will be speakers tie:e trom Washington, Chattanooga, Nashville, and other points to interirst the pet'ple during the time they viU be here. 1 shall write more .ibout it iater. Sincerely yours, W. L. UAKKL.V. Asheville-Atlanta Motorcade In Oct. Given Endorsement ^Continued from page 1 j by the Fulton county commissioners and other entertainment and business sessions will be held at the Ansley hotel. Whereas, it has been suggested that a great motorcade be run from the south to Montreal, Canada, in 1927 therefore, Be it resolved, That this meeting record that President Marvel and the neat annual meeting to be held in Atlanta accent the invitation from the city of Montreal and its civic bodies to hold the 1927 annual meeting in that city and that we will cooperate in every way to make the motorcade and convention a success. Whereas, President Roscoe Marvel of the Appalachian scenic highway at Asheville; Major John S. Cohen and Mr. Harlee Branch, of the Atlanta Journal, Atlanta, Ga., are largely instrumental for the favorable publicity which has been given the Appalachian scenic highway and bringing about such splendid cooperation between the various cities on the highway, therefore, "Be it resolved. That the thanks of this meeting be tendered to each of these gentlemen for the good work that has been done and therefore, "Be it further resolved. That a copy of these minutes be given tc the press and spread upon the minutes of this association."

DOING AS THE OTHERS DO Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, University of Illinois. it C OR I hail gone with the nmiil^ tude,** David wrote thousand* of years ago. but be was going to church, and not everyone goes !n that direction now. though there Is still a good runny people who follow rather than lead. It la curious, however, to what vxtent w? do follow the multitude and Justify ourselves In doing so, and ev. n turn the critical eye upon those who 1 not. I am looked upon with some curiosity because I never played a gctne of mah-Joagg. nor have I listened In on u radio, nor invested any money In Florida, nor talked a great deal either for or against prohibition. It Is far easier to follow the multitude than to keep out of Its way. ?>ne attracts less attention, arouses less comment. !s less likely to be thought freakish or queer. Th<>?e who with to be inconspicuous must conform. Many young people who are going to college inebc day?' are merely to. w Ing tho crowd. They have Joined themselves to the multitude. They are chasing down the Intellectual streets without purpose or definite Intention. They don't know whether they are going to a fire or to a flglit. They move because the crowd Is moving. "Why did you come to collegeT* I asked Browning, lie seemed :.ot to be working much; he wus absent .1 great deal; he was passing little or nothing. "I don't know,** he replied "I never thought much about It. The other fellows whotu I knew were g -lng. so 1 thought I would go. too." He was going to college as David was going t?> church. 1 have never known whether or not David was In terested In church for Its own sake or whether he was golug because the others were. Everyone was ridiug bicycles thirty years ago?fox- j 1? i-u:e. : r -,t. for exerdi-e.
