SYLVA COMES TO TOWN (An Editorial in The Charlotte .Observer.) By tiic Slate Highway map the (lis-! tanee from Ashevillo' to Charlotte is .120 miles. It generally runs up wore than that on the specdmeter, but let (hat pass. The distance from Sylva toAsktvilio is 53 miles. Sylva i's tin* Capital oi' Jackson County, over in the far western part of the (State. Ami that is a section which lias befci almost as much a tsranger to interior inNorthCaroHn some remote county in Georgia or Tennessee. Intenehinu between it and Charlotte was a de vious system of wagon roads, in some sections amoimting to nothing better than mountain trails. The oniy access; was -by railroad and that involved ;v ?lay's journey. But' along came the itioivison Administration and tin good road;, and this section, form erly so remote, is now a near neigh bor. The new day end the new con dition had happy illustration y^stein day afternoon, when at 12:^0 o'clock a. string'of automobiles lined up in front of the Chamber of Connnerc. building. It was a delegation of rep resentative business and profession al men from the town of'Sviva, who ? ' i ') ? had eomo "all the way i'roih their mountain home to see Charlotte, the imposition and (hanotte people. yhey had an dwrly breakfast, and they ;oi here a little alter noon, without having done viei. n\;c to the ??><! oil law. So close as ti.ai 'has the good road brought the . ol- mountain section nio touch with the city l'ar down in i he piedmont. There are- (il men In the party ami ..hey are under persona! chaperonage of .Mr. Walter W. Watt, the\ hard uaiv man, who; maintains a summer .oiue at. Sylva, and who was a prime factor''in'development of ilic Cullo ?.vlico State XpiWal, now \ranking as ..ne of the iinesl educational insti intions in the country. It is a lino. * \' ? ? - ? * body o. nun, aisouineluding preach ;:sv, doctor.;, lawyers, merchants, iii.puifatiurci's, an editor of a classy iiOHiiiarn newspaper;''and seertitary of a Chamber ol isbii^ucrce, i'aiaix-rs, 'eoiiiily olticiais, Mid one of, the best road-builders in the State, the latter oeim; John ,Wilson. it was# rather a , . ? ?? ?, <, lOi'tUnate circumstance that the party arivcd/fNlhe Chamber of Com ...ieice hall just ins. the lviwains were being seated1 for luncheon and, al though an intermediate dining hall nad been loaded for their entertain ment, .they weiv myjted to sit with the KiWanis, and their lir.;t intro duction to Charlotte people was, therefore of the rousing character Not many of these visitors liad been to Charlotte, and not a man of them will go home without delinitely-fixed ideas of coming back again. The visitors were shown the 'e.\*i>osition, as a valuable contribution to their en tertainment. Some,, will make return this morning-; others will tarry to see a little bit more of Charlotte. It was a mighty welcomed *>Ct and they had every reason to know that Char lotte was glad to have them. ^ About six weeks ago a pair of Charlotte missionaries spent a couple of days in Sylva, and Sylva got the notion from these that Charlotte is the town they want to See and to cultivate. So, a. week alter return of the missionaries there eamc olfiml information from the city of Sylva that its town had selected a site on Court.land height's which it had'ten dered the Chamber of Commerce as ? i> ? a free site upon" which to build a Charlotte clubhouse. There is not a liner location in America and the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce has made formal r.c(?epra.)<;o>;Ot the deed. The Chariot! vh.fcli e3e at Sylva is destined to 1:. ' of,the popu lar institution* :.i the future.
