For" some distance the road ' followed a tributary of the Yadkin . river. Tim being of little, moment, i the convicts graded through hills and : bridged mountain torrents without re- . card to trouble or expense. Ditches ; wr dug on either side of th way . so that the mountain rains might have . ' 11 tU effect upon tho roadbed. 'Thus the turnpike was built until th foot of the moutftajh was reached. Th , real work . then ' commenced. On ; mountain stream was followed for a - few . miles and then another. In th . heart of th 'mountatna there were no . ,. streams to follow, it was necessary for , . those in charge to Bias a way tor ; ' themselves, burrowing Into th aides ' ,,' of th mountains. , and making great ' circles until summit after summit was ' ' reached. ' There are places along th '" ' war. where for- mile and miles - th ' best' of road Is solid rock. On one !.' - side' th mountain towers hundreds -.': of feet above,' On 'the other yawns an abyss. of equal depth. The most ' .

Ashe county has no superior in the State.. It is a county of untold possibilities. Settlers moved In more than a hundred years sgo. They felled the forests, cleared the lands and tilled the virgin soil. Noth. Ing since has disturbed - them. ' No railroad has ever crossed the county line. There are hundreds of .people in . the county who havo never seen a railroad train. , For all the decades they have .been living to themselves, unnoticed and unperturbed: . It Is sur prising how much .of the' land has been cleared. Fine 1 herds of cattle and flocks of blooded sheep browse Upon the Mil. ' In the lowlands may be seen'' the best of corn. , . Every farmer owns his own land and many of them till the soil which their grandfather cleared. ' -c: ; AN ELECTRIC WNB TALKED OF. There. Is a movement, on foot now to construct an electric line from North WUkesboro to . Jefferson along the line Of the new turnpike, ; Gover nor U. B. Glenn declared In a speech delivered In .Jefferson Monday that it was the purpose of hu trip there to urge that this be don. . He argued that the turnpike as a dirt road would never prove profitable to the owners. He declared that some of the rade were too heavy for a steam road and urged that th citizens of Ash county Join hands with th people of Wllk county in building such an eiectrto line. ? Ash county, he said, had mad llttl progress during th last SO years. This, : he declared, , was due to the want of connection with the outside world. Any other county with the re sources In minerals. In lumber. In cat tle and farm products, such as Ashe county possessed, would be one of the wealthiest In the State. - ' - ' There Is a movement independent of local aid to build this electiio line. It Is estimated that it would cost tSOO.000. Power could b secured from Reddles river, on the south side of the mountain range, and from the New liver oa the north side. It has been said that the - freight on lum ber would more than pay a fair divi dend on the- half-million Investment. The mineral deposits are very rich. These could be opened up and de veloped. All the freight to Jefferson and Intervening .. . point would be hauled over the new-line. ' It is oe lieved that the construction of this electrlo road Is but a question of time. If it is not done by local capital, it will certainly be by Northerners, who already have their eyes turned that way, i.;-v, A ma DAY AT HUNTERSATLLK.
