NEW AUTOMOBILE ROAD IN THE MOUNTAINS Sneclal : Tn Tha Kowc Asheville, 'Jan. 20. The Asheville ana Buncombe County Good Roads as satiation held a meeting vpstfrdav af ternoon at which time Dr. C. P. Ambler presented specifications for the con struction of an -automobile road from the summit of Sunset mountain to Craven gap. The Specifications were approved by the i association and bids will be asked at once for the con struction or tne road. If these bids are within reason it is likely that the money can be" easily raised and the work will, begin at once. The matter of building the road was suggested by the Automobile Club of the city several days ago and the movement for it was started. The pro-r posed road wijll be nine miles in length and "will connect with the exclu sive automobile road that was opened last year by E. W. Grove from Ashe ville to the summit of Sunset moun tain. If it is cpnstructed it will prob ably be the longest exclusive auto mobile road in the soutn. SIR ROBERT BODEN POWELL STARTS 0 TOLD TOUR By Associated Press. London, Jan. 20. General Sir Rob ert Baden-Powell, who won fame as the defender of Mafeklng during the South African war, and the founder of the Boy Scout movement, to ad vance which he retired from the ar my, has started, on a tour of the world in the interest of the organ ization. The central idea of the, tour Is to consolidate the movement through out the empire, to co-ordrhate it as a great Imperial organization and to standardize the method of manage ment as far as possible. As the tour necessitates Sir Robert passing through America ajid other countries, he will attend meetings in the inter ests of the Scouts in those countries. Sir Robert proceeded first to tne West Indies to visit the Barbadoes, Trinidad and Colon, and while in Panama will visit the canal works New York will be reached about Jan uary 31, and thence the tour takes him to, among other cities, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Cincinnati, Chicago, San Francisco and Seattle. From thel atter port the general will take steamer for Japan, where, un der ap romise made to General Nogi, an effort will be made to start the Boy Scout movement in Japan. Gen eral Baden-Powell has previously vis ited Canada. The Scouts have made wonderful progress in England and the colonies. In the United Kingdom alone there are a million members, 60,000 having been enrolled last year. The Royal Scouts' Association has just been Incorporated under Royal charter.

NO 1 FOR A GREAT Special to The News. Asheville, N. C, Jan.. 20. The direc tors of the Greater Western North Carolina association met this morning in the board of trade rooms at 11:30 o'clock and heard reports from the va rious counties as to the amount of money that has been raised by each for the purposes of the organization. These reports showedthat about $3 000 has already been raised and is available in the form of cash or bank able paper. . Haywood county was the only one that reported the : whole amount raised that was assessed from it. This was $1300 and it was stated that this amount is now in the bank ready to be turned over to the .asso ciation when the other counties come in. . The counties were called out and a representative made the report. Bun combe was the first on the list and H. W. Plummer stated that no actual cash had been raised as the time of year seems . to he unpropitious for it but that he was. in a position to state that he could .raise $2500 at any time which is half of this county's assessment The report from Madison was to the effect that no money had been raised yeCbut that a strenuous effort would be made immediately to raise it and success is assured. Haywood then made the report that their $1300 is already available, Jackson county re ported $250 already pledged and it was stated .that the remaining $150 would be raised shortly. Polk county reported $400 raised and the other in sight. The report from Transylvania showed that $300 had been pledged. This made a total of $4750 in sight and then M. L. Shlpman guaranteed for Henderson county" the amount of $250 as early as It might be wanted r thus running the amount up to $5000. 1 Passenger ' Traffic Manager S. H. Hardwick of the Southern railway then addressed the board and stated that from the reports that had been made he wras in a position to believe that the counties are willing to raise their proportionate 'shares of the money, in which case he was empowered to con tribute $5000 as the amount the Southern is willing to pay into the organization for the advertisement of the resources and possibilities of this section. He said this amount was in addition to the aid that would be given by the road in other ways in distribut ing literature of the association. He suggested that another meeting be held on February 8 and at that time the counties would -have to report that they- bad - raised all their money". LOT PURCHASED FOR WILMINGTON Y. M. C. A.

Both these pictures were last seen at the Manchester exhibition in 1857, and their whereabouts were un known until sent by Miss Driver to the present exhibition.

Because of a misunderstood army form; 20,000 .reservists were on the point of mobilizing at Aldershot re cently, and a London newspaper add ed to the excitement by publishing a news item to that effect. The situation was due to a gen eral misunderstanding of Army Form D461, which was announced by the military authorities some time ago as the medium by which the reservists who would in the natural course , of events be called on for service on the first call were apprised of that fact. In order that there should be the. least possible delay when the or der was given, it was announced that the form would be accompanied by a railway warrant to pass the reservist to his allotted station and a postal order for subsistence money during the journey. Every precaution was taken by the war office to instruct the men that the orders were to be cashed only in case of mobilization, but some of the reservists failed to read or understand their instructions and a k rvf tho nrflers were cashed UUUiUCi . Vf. - and attempts were made to get rail way passeB to Aiaersnot. xne anair has kept the war office busy explain ing' the mistake and denying sensa tional rumors of impending war. One of the strongest points In the argument against the grant of the suffrage to women is the fact that In the United Kingdom women outnum ber men, and that to give them the vote would mean handing the gov ernment of the country over to them, a revolution that anti-suffragists say would be too serious to contemplate. An official estimate of males and females of twenty-five years .and over in the United Kingdom, excluding aliens, paupers and other persons disqualified for enrolment as parlia mentary voters, places the number of males at 10,107,000 and that of fe males at 11,319.000 in 1912, and by 1916 it is estimated that the numbers would be 10,480,000 and 11,729,000 re spectively.
