Coupling the Yo nahlessee road with the Lenoir-Blow-ing Rock turnpike as a connecting link with the great interstate highway lead ing from Charlotte to Lincolnton, Hickory, Lenoir, Blowing Rock, Lin ville,NeWland and connecting with tho national highway leading through Johnson City was discussed at a mee nu hold t the chamber of commerce ... Monday morning. It was a joint dis cussion of the proposition by Hugh McRae of thee Linville Improvement company; W. L. Alexander, of the Mayview Park Development company, and, Thomas H. Coffey, of Blowing Rock. It is only though the state accept ance of the Yonahlossee turnpike and Rnniviiiir lu tuifiwn ' the Lenoir-Blowine Rock turnpiKe asiif U now expected tnai me pm connecting link of the system it it possible for Lenoir to be put on any throught highway. If the Yonahlossee road is not acceptedf and a route from El Park or from Newland and Boone is adopted instead it will give Boone two highways, one leading from Brian tol and Winston-Salem, and known a the Boone trail highway, and another highway leading from Johnston City by way of Elk Park to Boone, and con nectine with the Bonne trail highway. This will cause ijenoir io oe eii. ju of any thru highway, and make the road passing through Lenoir nothing more than a local or county seat road. With the connection between Johnson City and Boone by way of El Park all eastern Carolina travel and all the travel from the southern part of the state beyond Charlotte will come up over the Boone trail highway to Blow ing Rock through Winaton-Salem. At present this travel passed through Le noir !.-;-'.'. The key to the situation, according to facts brought out at this meeting lie in the acceptance of the route be tween Newland and Boone. The Yon ahlosse between Blowing Rock, Lin ville and thence to Newfand will give the sweating procesi. county seats of Lenoir, Boone .and Newland are considered collectively. It is claimed that this route will also be shorter than the Banner Elk route if the Banner Elk route is to be on a proper grade. It is estimated that the Banner Elk route will make a road 12 miles longer than the Yonahlossee, and this will make a distance of about 26 miles longer between Lenoir and Newland. FARM DEMONSTRATION NOTES. (W. L. Smarr.) Saya Farmers Will Fix Price. iW. B. Mabee, field representative for the cooperative selling plan of the farmers of the south, declared recently that the scheme will, in the opinion of the leaders, take from Liverpool and New York the fixing of the price of cotton, and will put in the hands of the organisation that it is expected aoon to be effected over the country uh handle products of the tarm, cowon, grain, tobacco ,etc. Mr. Mabee believes that when the reports are in early in Jury, it will be found that sufficient cotton will have been signed up tp place that com modity under the control of the or- : l: ..J that manns that the ganizatiuii , v.mw ... - organization based on cooperative sell ing can aay what its product is worth.
