count of . these counties not doing
their share of road work in the famous
Chimney Rock sectionhas brought
forth the wrath of a great many citizens-

The following article appeared in

The Asheville Citizen last -week in

regarding the movement to nut Chim

the citizen interviewed is not; familiar
with the facts; HereV one of the
reasons he gave for the change: ; -;
"The county commissioners .'of Bup
combe and the business men of Ashe
vill unte with people m all parts of
the county in having- good roads In
every section : of th county andthe
outlying districts ; get every bit as
much consideration : in the matter as

The inference la that Chimney Rock
is not receiving rrom Kutnerrord coun-
iMUBuusweiauuu u uue. u.
outlying district" " ever received its
portion of road money Chimney" Rock
has. " Itwas" stated in the road meet
ing held recently at Rutherfordton
that 55,000 had been spent on one
road alone. In . that township. Ever
since the road bonds were voted there
has been a. stream of complaints from
other sections of trn county that
Chimney Rock was getting more than
its share of the fund .especially in
view of the fact - that that township
bears " a "comparatively small ; part of
the financial-burden. - ' -
A better argument than this will
have to be '.produced .before county
lines are changed. .

certain 'chosen positions in" South

America into a German appeudage.
Venezuela at that time had a dictatiir
named Castro," commonly known as
the Monkey of the Andes.' , v '
. "I was determined that Venezuela
"should not become a German posses;
sion." ' Germany said it was -not to.be
permanent and did hot define what
was meant by pennannently. ; 1 per

notesand then-1 sent for the German
