Please publish same mi Friday, December :!0. if yon can conveniently do so. After visiting each township in the county I feel sure that McDowell will not 'stand in the way of this highway.

Dear Mr. Alexander: For encour agement to yon in your excellent work lor the great highway, I desire as the director from this township, to tell you briefly what seems to me to be the very encouraging situation in Mc Dowell county. This road will pass through three townships. Fortunate ly for the highway these three town ship! happen to lie, 1 think, decidedly the most progressive In this county. I feel sure that the citizenship will do all in their power to get this high wax' completed. Everyone here who speaks of it docs so with encourage ment, mm all express the greatest de sire to have it completed The lirst township through which the mad comes from the east Is Fin leys. While this is not u large town ship it contalna one of our richest citizens and man) of our ln-st farmer! mid business men. In this lownshii is located the Nebo High school which alone shows conclusively thai the people of that township are tin usually progressive It began with nothing two or three vears ago. and is now in sharp and successful com petition with other large schools ii this section of the slate, and Is doii.i; nn extraordinary work. The peopl at Nebo feel the great need of this highway passing that vllluge. when this school Is. and undoubtedly will encourage it. The next township is the township of our county seat. Marlon. The peo pie of the western part of the state do not now need to be told that Ma Hon Is progressive. It is so progres slve that it Is getlng to be distinguish d for this characteristic. We believe we tm ve done more for the Improving of this town 'n the last two years than any town of like slr.e In the state In dustrles are coming, and the town is being Improved In every material way s Read This All Who Suffer from Catarrh, Sore Throat or Colds.

PAUL PAQUIN RETURNS FROM EDUCATION MEETING KIlMis That Ashevllle Is Well Adver tised all Over the Country Hustling Hoard of Trade. Dr. Paul Punuln has returned from Chattanooga w'.ere he l.tteinl. d a meeting of the Southern BducStlonal association this week. The conven tion, he savs. was largely attended by leading educators, Including presl dents of college, universities, school hoard members and many teachers; the attendance reaching 700 to 800. Dr. Paqnln read a paper on "The .Medical Inspection of Schools." treat ing of the time when children should start to school and to what degree their mental capacity should he n basing proposition, etc., and also dis cussing the hookworm disease. Infec tion of children, prevention of dis ease, etc. The paper was well re ceived and generously discussed by the delegates. Showing how well known Ashevllle is known Dr. Pnquln says that he was talking with a number of dele gates in the lobby of the Hotel Pattun when different locations from which the assembly group came were mentioned. Hearing that Dr. Paquln was from Ashevllle. one of the gen tlemen remarked that "There's where you have such a hustling board of trade that sends out so many book lets." He said he had received, one and heard of others also getting them. (ia.elte-News Unreal), Chamber of Commerce 'Rooms, Hollemon Building. Raleigh, Uec. 30. TliK report of the superintendent and directors of the North Caro lina School for the I'.lind and Deal at Haleigh to (Sovernor Kitchin and the general assembly recommends that the location of the school be changed in order that there may be more room for the children to get ex ercise needed. The suggestion Is made in the recommendations that the pres ent Soldiers' hoi e plant be taken for the school for the blind and that the old soldiers be changed to the main building' of the present plant for the school. Then ii is suggested that the lug fireproof auditorium of the school could be taken for the state library and the insurance and some other departments of the state government could find suitable quarters in the present school building. The warn ing is sounded that the death rate for the past two years among the children of the school has been double the rate for any previous hi ennial period, and the suggestion is boldly made that this may be due to the lack of suitable exercise grounds The position is taken that the school must sooner or later be moved to more ample grounds and the sooner the better, they say. II there Is to be no moving of the school at this time, then the directors insist that there be an approprutlon of S.Ml.OOO for the purchase of additional ground They call for an increase from $05, U0U to gxo.OOO in the appropriation for maintenance. Other appropria tions needed are $Sf00 for additional plumbing, $.:.il(H for additional furni ture and school room appliances: $12, 500 for new kitchen and bakery. $300. i for painting fences and metal ceil ings. The school has :i S 0 children enrolled for the past year. The state board of charities in its annual report to the governor and general assembly recommends that the directors of the state's prison be constituted n board of parole for the convicts who serve minimum sen tences and show merit for considera tion, this to have no bearing what ever on the pardoning power of the governor The board recommends provision for ii $.'.0.11(10 building for receiving purposes in the treatment of the in sane, new cases that sliow a possi bility of recovery to be taken in this building and have the special atten tion of specialists.

Md pending the arrival of a Mecklenburg officer with a requisi tion from the governor of North Car olina on the governor of Maryland for his extradition to answer the charges at Charlotte. The requisition is Issued by Governor Kltchln I have just returned from a four days' Convention of Dealers in Chalmers ears, which was held at the factory of the Chalmers Motor Company in Detroit. The Company has shipped exactly KW per cent more cars so far this season than for the same pe riod last season. Yet it doesn't intend to build any more cars than it built last year. All the dealers naturally were anxious to get as many ears as they could, and if the Company should agree to meet the demands of the dealers at the convention it would have to build twice as many cars as it intends to build. .But it won't because "Not how many, but how good" is the Chalmers manufacturing policy. I have never seen a crowd of men more enthu siastic about their business than thoijp dealers were, nor have I ever seen a crowd with more faith in their ability to sell the cars that have been al lotted them. All of them reported a good business, and not one of them would surrender any part of his allotment. I may not be much of a prophet it won't take long to prove whether I am or not because time will tell but 1 predict that there will be the same shortage of Chalmers cars next spring as there has been each spring in the past. The reason for this, in my opinion, is simply that the Chalmers Car is the Chalmers car. It is so well known for its qual ity and for the Chalmers service which goes with it to the owners that the demand for Chalmers cats is not affected by the demand for any other car, I therefore urge all who think of buying 1911 Chalmers cars to place their orders now so that they can be sure to have their cars in the spring. 1 don't say this simply to try to force the sale of cars at this time. That is not necessary. I have never raised a cry of "wolf" in the past and 1 never will. It is not our way of doing business. But 1 had iffy eyes opened a little bit while at this convention as to what the real conditions arc going to be next spring, and 1 think that I am sim ply doing a number of our prospective buyers a favor by making this announcement. T simply want to tell you as honestly, as candidly and as sincerely as 1 can that now is the best time for you to buy a Chalmers car, because next spring many people who want them will be disappointed. We would be glad to give you further details if you will call and see us, or let us know when we mav call and see you. Manager ASHEVILLE AUTOMOBILE CO., 15 and 17 S.
