tuie The annual meeting of the Good
Jtoads ' association of Asheville and
Buncomibe county wo? held at five
'clock yesterday Afternoon in the par
lor ov the 'Berkeley Hotel. The atten
dant was. very gratifying.
In calling the meeting to order, Pres
ident Frauk Loughrari briefly referred
to sc-kme of the salient .features of the
associaition's activities during the past
year. He also read .th f ollowing, which
is self explanatory:
Frank Loughran, Esq., President Good
IRoads Association, lAsheville, N. C:
Dear 'Sir: iAs you are aware, at the
last m;eetiitg' of t:he directors of the as
sociation, I ivas appointed chairman of
a, committee to suggest a .plan of work
for the incoming .board of directors,
based! on our past experience with the
work. 'As I have been unable to get
a meeting of my committee I take the
liberty of emiboaying -my own personal
ideas in this letter and trust that the
other two members of the committee
will agree 'with me.
I consider that the .work the associa
tion has done in the1 past in maintaining
drives around Asheville which are used
solely for pleasure driving, to be Qf
great importance. This is important
in that our members and subscribers
see the direct use of their money and
they .are immediately made to feel the
benefit that the association is doing
them. This work, in my opinion, should
foe pushed in the 'future' as it is by this
'mieans that we retain most of our mem.
bers.
However, I consider the real work of
the association 'to. be to do any
thing that will promote the
building and maintenance of
macadamized roads- in Bun
Voirike county. By roads, I here refer to
the main highways of travel which are
now almost imipassable in bad weather.
I -think the main interest of the asso
ciation should now tend in this direc
tion much more than it has inthe past.
Boon after tihie Organization of the as
sociation wc ;.urchcised a magic lantern
with about 50 slides illustrating roads
t&roughout 'the world as well as the
methods of constructing them, and it
has ibeen any pleasure on several oc
casions to show these pictures before
audiences in the county and also to
be with some of the other directors
when this work was done. I think trie
value of this lantern in promoting our
work cannot 'be over-estimat'ed and that
St is the duty of the incoming directors
to make it; a point to give a large Dum
ber of lectures on the subject of good
roaeto throughout" tthe county.
While it had 'been my idea that these
lectures iwouto bring their returns, I
had had no actual illustration of it un
til the meeting of the county comlmis
sioners in regard to the delbt now hanj
ing over the county, and whether the
road work should be stopped. At this
meeting there was one gentleman from
the Flat Creek township who was pres
ent at the first lecture- given toy the :as
siciation, which was given 'by Mr.
RioebMng over a year ago. During Mr.
Roetolir.g's discussion, this gentUeman
objected vigorously to the county's is
ing bonds ifoir the improvement of the
noads. but -at the county commissioners'
meeting he took quite the other side',
nd wh'lp possibly lie himself did not
"know that the lecture changed nis
views, I think you will bear me out in
saying? lime it un.
It is true it is now too late to get
any bill that might be advisable through
the resent session of the legislature,
but I think with proper work the next
two years will not be any too mud
time for the directors to bring before
the people any issue which we might
deem proper to ''bring Ibefore the next
session of the legislature.
It has been my experience that it
has been a very easy matter to get an
audience throughout every part of this
County, as the pictures prove quite a
dirawing feature. Even in the small
school houses in the very thinly settled

The report of Secretary-Treasurer B.
M. Jones was read. It shows that the
total amount received frotm February
1, 1900, to January 31, 1901, from initia
tions, dues, cash subscriptions, and all
other sources was 6,318.55, to which
should be added $242.31, cash on hand
February 1, 1900; making a total Of
$,50.86. Total expenses, $6,388.17, leav
ing a balance of $172.69; of which $42.65
is in tbe Battery Park ibank to the cred
it of the road fund and 130.04 in the

and disbursements of the road fund,
of the general or propaganda fund, and
of the Baltimore road fund; and an alpha
betical list 'of members.
. In his report as chairman of the road
committee Ir. C L. 'Minor gave a
resume of the work accomplished dur
ing the year. Owing to 'failure of the
towns off Victoria and Kenilwtorth to
care for the Biltmore road, it ha al
ready been considerably damaged. It
is heped that these towns will see their
way clear either to properly care for
the road or to (employ the association5
to do so.
The president, Frank Loug'hran, the
vice president, John A. Nichols, the
secretary-treasurer, B. M. Jones, and
the entire board of directors were re
elected. This is a ihiigh 'compliment to
these gentlemen for the way in which
they have performed their duties dur
ing the year.
Several amendments to the consti
tution were read, to be acted upon at
a called . meeting.
It was moved and' carried that a com
imiittee be appointed to confer with tht
county commissioners ana county at
torney and draft a measure to be sub
mitted1 to the present legislature em
powering the holding of an election to
allow the citizens of the county to de
cide whetheor not -bonds shall be is
sued for road improvements. This
eomimiittee is to be appointed today.
'A vote of thanks was (extended to
Prof. J. A. Holmes for the valuable
assistance be has rendered to the as
sociation.

is the brightest issue yet of this re
markably original periodica.! The lead
ing story is a novelette entitled "Rum
ors and a Runaway, ' by Caroline Du

published in The iSmaft Set during the
past year met with almost sensational
success, and gave her a great reputa
tion for the piquancy and cleverness of
her work. This longer story will prove
a .still 'greater 'triumph.
In this issue are anounced the win
ners ctf the various prizes amounting
to $5,000, offered by the .magazine last
