Appalachian Good Koads Association, which is to De held in Atlanta November 20 and 2! it will be of interest to many jknow something of the his ory of this association. v V-.';,'V'- 1 The op.nion has gradually become prevalent in the good roads work throughout the country that in vorder to accomplish 'the best results this jhovement must be thoroughly organ ixed. not only among the counties of each State, but among States or por tions of States having similar prob lems in road construction or a com munity of mrerest beiause of similar topographic conditions.' or natural . re sources, or advantages. Realizing that this condition existed to a mark ed degree among certain States ly ing in the Southern Appalachian re gion, some good roads advocates, in the Fall of 1909, aided by .good roads tsocia:iens in the S'ates. of Virginia,. Xorth Caro ina, South Carolina , Geor gia and Tennessee decided to . call ,a convention to discuss questions relat ing to the construction and mainten ance of good roads throughout, ihis great region. It was considered that there is no section in the Southern States in greater need of improved roads than this Southern "Appalachian region, and thai the engineering problems me: with in road construc tion in this region presents some ex ceedingly difficult features. In order to awaken an interest in the good roads cause generally , and in iis con ention 'n particular, the State Geo logist of Xorth Carolina held, a serie3 of rood roads meetines in sixteen rtthe mountain counties of , North ftrepn during The. two- months pre rrttaj this convention" ' In each or V me ines delegates wre ao a a this cronoseA convention Vt to the time of; this convention tfcre bad ben no attemot mde to ftematizP hiehwav imnrovemet ?nd consfruc ion n this , region wih the idea of obta'ning , a system of reads which should continue : trom rne countv to another from- one ? ?.te tox an other. For this reason it was decWed to hold the ; convention at Ashevitoe, he most central point, and to calj- the Southern Appala chian Good Roads Convention. This convention was held October..' 5-7. 1909. There were a large number of delegates present who had been ap pointed by the mayors of nearly, all the cities within the mountain and oiedmont sections of thesefive States: by the chairman of - the board of county commiss'oners'of the counties in these States; representatives of the boards of "rade andchamber of com merce in this region; delegates of va rious good roads - associations and other citizens interested in the cause. At the conclusion of - the' conyent4bn it was dee'ded to make the , organi sation a permanent-one," and a com mittee on permanent- organiza" ion ifas appointed, which reported as fol lows: " .

The, first is that. the. publicity which has been given to bosses and the boss system ' has so ' changed ' the " political machinery and aroused the people to an active interest in public affairs as to 'make the office of boss impossible and unprofitable. -Another ; explana tion might be that the -non-existence of. bosses is more apparent than real; that while the old bosses have been put ' out i of ; business, simply because they have .taken . their, place and r are qu etly at work, but : without : the knowledge 'of, the public. - This latter explanation may, indeed. be valid in some localities, but, as a general rule, the first "explanation is the correct- one. .
