Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt who attend ed the celebration at Bat Cave Satur day, is very much gratified at the progress that Is being achieved In good roads construction In North Carolina. The movement, he states, Is growing and growing, so much bo that it has reaohed almoBt every communi ty In North Carolina, even Into the deepest recesses of the mountain sec tions. Just what Is being achieved In this direction Is very admirably sum marized by the recent compilation of Henry Roberts of Bristol, Va., chair man of the committee on construction progress for the Southern Appalachian Good Roads association, which fol Madison county will soon have the Central highway completed to the Cocke county (Tennessee) line. "Avery county has provided $160, 000 road bonds a part of which will be used to build the road from Lin ville via Newland to the Carter coun ty (Tennessee) line, thus practically completing the Bristol-Charlotte high way.. Avery county will also build to the Mitchell line, and Mitchell, Yan cey and Madison are building a road from Newland via Burnsvllle to Mars Hill, practically through the center of those counties, xnis worn is Demg done by township road bond Issues in the main. In the Mountains. "The bond Issues In Avery county, North Carolina, and Carter county, Tennessee, are of especial importance In that they will be the means of connecting the road systems of North Carolina and East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia by the construe tion of the link between Elizabethton. Tenn., and LlnvIIle, N. C, thus also opening the Crest of the Blue Ridge titvmni, tn f -n veil frnm Tonn .MPO .nd ivilnla K, tha fall nf 1Q1II "The unfinished link in the Central highway up the Blue Ridge to Swan nanoa gap has been provided for, ana construction Is well under way, and will be finished in a few months. "The Charlotte-Ashevllle highway (or Hickory Nut gap road) has been opened to traffic, and as many as 110 automobiles a day have passed over it. Thus far 27 states have been rep resented In this traffic. "The road from Tryon to Saluda by the Blue Ridge has been completed, and a first class road Is thus opened to travel from Asheville to Spartan burg via Ilendersonvllle, Saluda and Tryon. "The Central highway between Old Fort and Blltmore is now open to mo tor travel, and the construction work will be entirely completed on this gap by next summer. "The organization of the Asheville Murphy-Atlanta highway has been perfected, and provision practically made for its construction, the weak point so far being In Georgia from Gainesville to the Murphy line.

Cuch occasions as the Fourth of July end Labor day would be exempt from this, rule, as the re ceipts would be pooled on holidays. The scheme Is likely to be adopted here in Qreeusboro, and perhaps oth er cities In the clroult Taking the past season for example, each club plays 10 games at home, and the scheme Is to sell books containing coupon tickets, one for each game, for 13. It would be necessary to dispose of at least (,000 books at this price to make Jitney ball possible and should this number be sold, It will give the men In charge of the club It. 000 to start with.

Add this to the $0,000 derived from the sale of the season tickets and total of $1J, 800 is secured. "That sum, $10,800 will operate a team through a season of Are months, as the average cost is only about $!, 800 per month, this sum including the salary of the players and all necessary help at the home games. In addition to the money secured by the sale of season and grandstand tickets, the money paid by advertisers for the signs on the fence would be mors, as larger number of people would be sure to attend games. "Tickets would also bo sold admit ting the purchaser to any park In the league for $6, but a person not pos sessing a season tlokst to the local park would be required to pay an ad mission fee of II cents, the present price of admission.
