There will be an important meeting tomorrow night at T: 30 o'clock, in the board of trade rooms, of represen tatives of 11 the organizations of Ashevllle., Including the lubor unions, for the purpose of making final defi nite plana for the, observance of "Rood roads days," November 5 and 6.- It is , thfe purposo of the central committee, of , which Gcorso S. Powell is chair . man, to make Buncombe the banner county of the state for work done on these two days, In deference to Gov ernor Locke Craig who set these two days aside by proclamation or the Improvement of public roads In the state. It Is hoped that there will be a large attendance at the meeting Mon day night. A notice, signed by Mayor J. E. Ttankin, and each member of the cen tral committee, is being sent out today to the people of the county, in which an appeal is made for general meet ings on next Saturday, October 25, for the purpose of organizing for the j work in the various townships. This ? appeal reads as follows: i "We appeal to the people of Ashe ville and buncombe county to organ- hie themselves, us hereafter suggested, $ and make this the banner county for carrying out the wishes of Governor ; ,' Craig, as set forth in his proclama tion designing November Gth and 6th las holidays und 'Good Roads Days' for North Carolina. To this end we . Suggest that meetings be held In the townships at the places hereafter named, on Saturday, October 25, at 2 o'clock, and that organizations be formed at these meetings, and officers . elected to take charge of squads of about 30 men, who will pledge them selves to devote at least part of the , two days designed to unselfish work for the public good. That the women be asked to form organizations for the purpose of furnishing good things to . eat. 1 "We also suggest that the persons pledging themselves tor work on these days stats what kind of Implements they will furnish, also the number of teams, wagons, plows, etc., so that the captains of squads will know exactly how to plan for the .work. ' "It Is not the purpose of the gov ernor In his proclamation to make tliese days of drudgery for anyone, but for the people to come together In a spirit of co-operation, and spend these two days together doing such work as will hot be burdensome, and . bring about a better feeling of fellow ship among the people of the state.

Always look for the In-er-seal Trade Mark. 10c Is peculiarly appropriate that the peo ple of Buncombe county make thlst a great success. The business houses of the city and county will be asked to close their laces of .business and participate In this celebration; thoj public schools will also be asked to close so that the children may partic ipate, and wo suggest that, in order that they may take part, that plana be made by which the children can beau tify some of the roads of the county by planting honeysuckle, wild roses, and other plants along the roadside, thereby adding to the pleasure, as well as the comfort of those who pass over these roads. We also suggest that In some cases it may be best to build paths for the use of the school chil dren in places where they'are now forced to wade through muddy roads. "Representatives from the board of county commissioners, the Good Roads association, the board of trade and other organizations will be at the places of meeting on the 25th for the purpose of aiding the organiza tions and forming plana for the good roads days. The central cotpmlttee, composed of the chairman of the board of county commissioners, presi dent of the Good Roads association, president of the board of trade, the mayor, president of the Motor club, and others, will be glad to co-operate with any of the townships in selecting suitable roads on which to work.
