Mayor Bland's Recommendations-rTwo !
Good Routes Being Developed.
Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt,
Asheville, N. C,
uear Sir:
t I
present a report of the Asheville to :
Charlotte Highway route, and as i I
I cannot be present (which 1 regret very
much indeed) I herewith enclose my
icpuiu iou win notice that 1 nave
outlined two proposed routes which I
think available. I think the one by
Marion preferable. However, that is a
matter for you to decide.
I trust that the meeting wil lbe suc
cessful, and that great interest will be
aroused in the construction of routes
throughout the State : particularly tho
one from Asheville via Charlotte which
could be constructed to Wilmington,
making a route from the mountains to
the sea through the most interesting
part of North Carolina.
I see that you are to be at the State
Drainage Association Convention to be
held in this city on the 16th and 19th
of November, and at that time,, I shall
have the pleasure of seeing you per
sonally and talking over the proposed
highways.
With kindest personal' regards, 1
am. Yours very truly,
CHART ES A. BLAND.
Charlotte, Oct 22. Mayor.
There are two routes that are being
rapidly developed between Charlotte
and Asheville. These routes would
make it possible to connect this in
dustrial section with the beautiful
scenic mountains. The most available
and quickest route now is to Ruther
fordton, and from Rutherfordton there
wil lbe two ways which are being rap
idly pushed, so that automobiles can
reach Asheville. One after ; leaving
Rutherfordton to come through Hick
ory Nut Gap, 4then on to Asheville ; the
other to Marion, and then from Marion
up Turkey Cove to Little Switzerland.
At Little Switzerland the Crest of the
Blue Ridge is reached, and by another
season this road will go to Alta Pass,
Ldnville. Blowing Rock, on the Crest
of the Blue Ridge and it has been sur
veyedx into Asheville, northeast of
Mount Mitchell peak. The survey
from Little Switzerland through the
Blue Ridge on a 4 per cent grade has
been made by Dr. Joseph Hyde Pratt
and his able engineers. This is known
as the Crest of the Blue Ridge, and
the beauty of this road will be unsur
passed by any in western North Car
olina. Now from Charlotte, one could start
in an automobile in the Spring of 1314,
and then to Gastonia, Henrietta, Caro
leen, Forest City, Rutherfordton,
Green Hill, Otter Creek and from there
through McDowell county to Marion.
Of this road the entire line from Char
lotte to Green Hill, six miles north of
Rutherfordton, is now completed and
in use, the other six miles in Ruther
ford county, from Green Hill to Otter
Creek, will be completed in the early
Bpxlng, from Otter Creek to Marion, a
distance of about 14 miles (in Mc
Dowell county) seven miles of this
part is already graded and I am re
liably informed that the commissioners
of McDowell county have commenced
or will commence within the next few
days the construction of this seven
mile gap. McDowell county is now
doing all she can to build a road from
Marion through Turkey Cove to Little
Switzerland; and a road from Little
Switzerland along the Crest of the
Blue Ridge to Asheville is already sur
veyed, an devery effort being made to
build it. Charlotte Observer.
000 Deaths From Tuberculosis.
There are about 6,000 deaths each
car in North Carolina from tubercu
losis. This number can be reduced
one half in the next few years if all
the people of the state can be arous
ed to the need of curative and preven
tive measures necessary. The cause
of tuberculosis is infection from pome
one who has the diseose. The cause
of this infection is marelessness on
ire part of the sick person. The
symptoms of the disease are a rue
down condition, a .cough, blood-spitting,
and night sweats. The cure fo;
tuberculosis is fresh air all day an.'
all night and- good nourishing food
Drugs and patent medicines do not
cure, but often make the disease
vorse.
Now, this gospel must be preached
from end to end of our state until ev
ery man, woman and child knows it.
It means the saving of thousands ot
lives, . and the prevention of untold
fiuffering. It will hel pthousands of
children- from becoming orphans and
thousands of husbands and wives from
being widowed. Is it not worth
while? .
The Red Cross Xmas Seals, or
stamps, wil be sold this year to cre
ate interest in this work, and to fur
nish funjis to head off the depreda
tions of this disease. Citizens in ev
ery city , and town in the state should
write the State Red Cross Seal Com
mittee -at Charlotte for particulars of
the sale of these stamps. They will
hel pto stamp out tuberculosis in every
oemmunity.. where they are sold, both
bv creating interest in the fight and
t by furnishing funds for carrying it on.

REDFIELD PLEADS FOR
VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
Unman Pathos of Problem is What
Appeals to Secretary, the Urgent
Need of Education Fitting for WorK.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Deploring the
"waste of lives through lack of direc-
I tion into work and lack of training for
work," Secretary Redfield, of the De
partment of Commerce, tonight before
the National Society for the Promotion
of us trial Education, of wnich he is
President, voiced a message of hope
.tiJ11 OTls OI ine society would
bear fruit in constantly increasing edu-
tauuu, uiuug men ior tnose vocations
in life for which they are best suited.
The human pathos of the Droblem
which faces them , was what appealed
to him "the pitiful figure," he said,
"of the-boy or the girl faltering on the
Gdsr nf.thp strpnnniiB ctrn rrcrlo nf Ufa '
needing to earn yet not knowing how j WU son naljle tne PeP f detlr"
to earn and forced to enter the battle I 5 whether or not it will be profit
without the slisrhW training for thp able to Put officers on a salary
contest.
....
In talking of the cure for such
condition he said "let me suggest that
while we must not forget the great
debt we owe to the private vocational
schools, yet the future of industrial ed
ucation lies in the hand of the public
schools. The private industrial
schools have been the beacons which
have lighted the course on which the
ship of state must now sail. I do not
venture to let my thoughts run freely
into the. social results of removing our
n cflts. This is a little too much of an
industrial heaven for me to grasp at
once. Yet I wonder if it may not be
true 'of the work which we have under
taken that it has not entered into the
heart of men to -conceive the great
things which are prepared for our peo
ple when industrial education and vo
cational guidance shall each have
wrought their perfect work."
"Peace, precision and prosperity in
our industries and happiness and hopes
in our homes," he predicted, would be
the result of correct industrial educa
tion. BUSINESS IN FOREIGN FIELD.
Money to Maintain it is Needed and
Business Men of Detroit to Ask
Congress to Appropriate More Funds
for the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture.
Detroit, Mich. With the declaration
that "the tide of American business
in the foreign field is at its flood" and
that means must be employed to main
tain it, Secretary Redfield, addressing
the Boar dof Commerce here, made a
rect appeal to business men to ask
Congress to appropriate more funds
lor tne prosecution of the work of his
department.
Reform of Commercial Representa
tion. The Secretary explained his propos
ed reform of commercial representa
tion abroad, through the appointment
! of a corps of special agents and su
pervision of the commercial activities
of the vrrious consuls.
Mr. Redfield declared his depart
ment had an ambitious program of
investigation and trade, furtherance.
He said it was the intention of the
government to press it vigorously "if
funds were provided."
"For example," said he. "at this
present moment the inquiry into the
pottery industry, which is a very im
portant and intended to be a very
helpful investigation, is almost at a
standstill for lack of funds.
"I assume you are aware of the
great advance of American export
trade in manufactures during the last
! year.
Export of Manufactures.
Time was,, within the memory of
most of you, when we" sold abroad
chiefly the product of our fields and,
farms or of our mines. We were
known as a food-exporting country,
and in a sense did largely feed the
nations. That day is gone. Our ex
ports of. crude foodstuffs are-but 18
per cent of the total, and the major
place in our export trade is filled by
the products of our manufacturers, in
which work you of Detroit have had
a large share.
Fifteen Hundred Millions a Tear.
"To sell our manufactures abroad
to the extent of over fifteen hundred
millions in value in one year is no
small thing; but when this continues
to expand at the approximate rate of
half a million dollars daily, and when
Jn this total the largest item by far
is that of fully finished manufactur
ers, which is not only, as I have said,
the biggest item, but that which is
growing faster, then the statement is
very much more marked."
In concluding, the Secretary told
his hearers that, if the funds were
forthcoming, he proposed to reor
ganize the. Bureau of Corporations so
that a systematic inquiry into all big
combinations could be made. This,
he said, would not be undertaken in
any inimical spirit, but solely for the
purpose of securing information which
, ; Relieved the government should
hart.

Reports of Officers.
( Waynesville Enterprise.)
The new law requiring semi-annual
reports from road overseers and yari-
ous other officials is a good one, an.l
benator Hannah is to be congratulat
ed on his progressive step.
. By the way, we owe the Senator a
long deferred apology; for we find on
inspecting the printed record of the
laws enacted last February that he did
permit the passage of the law requir
ing all county officials on the fee basis
to publish annual statements of
amounts received. It was reported in
the daily papers, at that time, that
Senator Hannah had Haywood except
ed from this law.
As a matter of fact the law does
apply to .this county, but reports will
not have tJ be made until next year.

officers by showing that the amount
of their remuneration has been greats

figures' will not work injustice. Not
coming before December, 1915., will,
however, have a tendency to defer ac
tion on this matter.
City Government.
We venture the assertion that not
three towns in North Carolina have as
efficient government as they should
have, that the community spirit, out
side of the mere commercial aspects.
is not half developed. ; Many towns are
doing much better than others and
some are making much improvement,
but few are even striving to do half
what they should. Most of our. ideas
of . town , improvement mean simply
ways to make more money, whereas
what we most need is a community
spirit that will devote itself to .mak
ing our towns places for better, more
beautiful, more wholesome and hap
pier living. State Journal.

Violet Dulce Perfume and
Toilet Preparations
In the south of France, ne ar the border of Italy, there springs in
early January the Parma Violet, one of the finest and sweetest that
blows. It is loveliest in the. shade of the olive trees. The peasants '
who gather this violet for us go out soon after midnight to pluck it
while it is still wet with dew. Before dawn, tons upon tons of these
violets are heaped up in the distilleries. By noon they have been
converted into the essence that comes over the seas to us.
To make an ounce of this essence, upon which our Violet Dulc is
ased, two tons of violets are used.
Violet Dulce Toilet Goods are told to you under our positive guar
antee that if you do not find them entirely satisfactory, yoa- can
