I. ? * V ^==rrr: ? ? ? - ? ; . * c Knoxville Route To Smokies'and \ - Middle west From Jack > . sonville and Augusta Augusta, Oa., March 1. Mr. H. C. ?dileton, Augusta realtor, in a *Jiele in the Augusta Chronicle, morning, advocates a direct ?tr from Jacksonville and Angusta, -j, Svlva, North Carolina to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and to Knoxvile, Louisville and Chicago. Figures show-that the route would be approximately 75 miles nearer from Augusta to Knoxville via W'alhalla, Highlands, Cashiers Valley, sylva and Cherokee, th?n the present route, and would be of gr?at benefit to the entire Southeast, and the cities and towns affected, plaeiwr Jacksonville, ? Augusta, Charleston, and Savannah within easy striking distance of the Great Smoky Moun tains National Park. There is said to bo much interest in the park and in the proposed road in Augu^a and adjacent territory. The full text oj the Chronicle ?* article follows: ( j It is doubtful Whether the people ot Augusta. at large, fully realize the . importance' to this city of the pro Jed "Teat National Park m the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina above Walhalla. This park is to comprise some buu, 000 acres, if established, which seems assured, and would rival the Yellow stone. The proposed establishment ot this park has greatly stimulated lug i wav bidding in that portion ot North Carolina and Tennessee, so that most ot the highways, in that region are either already pave<l or will be pavel within one or two years. The par * wv\V begin- about 37 miles west ot ? and four or five nules ot WayncsvvUe and Vie between Waynes villc, Svlva, Bryson City, Bushnell, Proctor,' X. C, and Caldcrwood, Tenn., on the south and Knoxville, Marvville and Sevierville on the north running to within probably 30 miles of Knoxville. It will start oil the south within about 30 miles of the South Carolina line above W alhalla, S. C. Already several roads are partly paved and other extensive paving is to be done from the park area to Highlands, near the North Carolina and Georgia line, about 35 miles above Walhalla. It is stated at Sylya and Bryson City that this road will he completely paved this summer from those towns down to Highlands. I! is State Highway in North Caroina mm 1 South Carolina from Highlands to Walhalla and fron* Walhalla to Augusta via Auderson, Abbeville, McCormiek. Tennessee now has a road paved from Knoxville well toward Gathlin burg, which is far this way into the limits of the park; and a good auto mobile road continues from this point through the park to Sylva^and Bryson City, N. C. This road to Bry son City is to be paved at an^carlj date. Knixville and that portion of Tennessee arc getting into this park and resort section of North Carolina as anxiously as we on this side. This is rapidly developing into an almost air line highway soon to be complete lv paved from Knoxville to the Norin Carolina-Georgia line, 30 mile9 from Walhalla. <. -- The stretch through South Carolina j and (Jeorgia from the North Caro lina-Georgia line above alhalla will soon only 11 red to be paved to estab lish a paved highway, Augusta to Knoxvill? as against via Asheville. From Knoxville the highway to Cincinnati, Chicago, Toledo, Detroit, is one of she most important in the South. This] travel will have an op l*>rtunity~of coming from Knoxville this much nearer way jt-ia the park Anderson and Augusta to the Atlan tic seaboard and Florida, and this should mean a great deal to Augusta. This would be the shortest way from Knoxville to Charleston, Beaufort, Savannah, Brunswick fluid the most Iivactical route to and from East Florida points. It would also be the nearest route from Charleston, Beau i?it and Savannah to the Park and its neighboring resorts, %hich it is expected will he greatly augmented hy tlie development of this jiark of national impcmance. f The building of the bridge over the. Savannah river at Fatty's Ferry 14 fiules above Augusta is essential to this road. Without this bridge the fro? Augusta would E?y* to * 1 go via Edgefield, Greenwood and I Greenville to the Park. Columbia would reach the park region through , Greenville. And Atlanta, Macon and AthensNronld reach it via Cornelia* : Sylva and Franklin. ? A ' j The paving of this road from Au ; jrusta to Walhalla and North Caro I i iina line Will of course, become a j natter of importance, it' is generally I. :igreed that this road will be paved j on the Georgia side from Augusta to I iho Fury's Ferry bridge as soon as .hat bridge is erected. From that) point to Walhalla it is all state au.i rcderal road and it is understood is all in tlte South Carolina legislative act c/t 1924 legally ordered to be 1 >aved under the pay-as-you-go pro gram. It is possible, though under tin law, for counties to pave at oye an i receive annual reimbursements from the state. It would be well for an 'Augusta Anderson committer to, begin work together to promote the full develop ment of this road. There are 18 national parks in the west, comprising 11,000 square miles There is but one east tof the Mis sissippi?a small one eight square miles far up iu Maine. The secretary W the interior i r> 192^ appointed a connexion to f-x amine the Alleghanics and. Blue with a i view to setting apart thai scenic portion of them which would possess tho greatest national interest. In December, 1924, after eight months' work, the conn mission re-* ported: "Of these' postable sites, the Great Smoky Mountains easily stand first", and they recommended th-* park establishment therms: also ? much smaller park in the Blue Kidg? in Virginia adjoining the Shenandoah So we are likelv to havssa national park in the Smokies near he", rivaling the Ybllowstone, to be aai j. - traction for ]>oople from all over tno union. Not only wiLl they visit it but will pass through the hdghway to Knoxville though it will be a short line?the shortest or mosrt practical between Chicago and the northwest and Florida, through Walhalla, An derson and Augusta. To avail oi:r selves of it, to the fullest, will re quire that road be paved from An gusta to the . South Carolina lim , abbve Walhalla to join the pavement continuing n^rth frotn that point. A* is generally known this road is paved from Knoxville to Cincinnati, Chicn^ go and Detroit. From Anderson tin road can go on to Greenville, Hender sonville and Asheville as at present almost all tho fray. ?, HAYWOOD RECEIVES WORK'S OONG\RATUI?ATIONS Asheville, March 9. , Official appreaciation of the work of the people of Haywood county in raising the county's quota of $30, 000 for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park purfehase fund' was given by Secretary of the Interior Ilubert Work. In reply to a telcgrav; to Secretary Work, who is sponsor ing the campaign for the purchas? of the mountain lands for a national park, announcing that the county quota had been raised in faea of bit ter opposition, the secretary vrired a: follows to C. M. Dicus, chainman of the Haywood County campaign com mittee: ( i . ? "My congratulations on your tele gram of yesterday. Prospccts for your success are very bright.'* The quota of $30,000 has been <nt?r subscribed by about $6D0, it*was an nounced at a victory rally at W?y nesville last Thursday night, \ but there is no intentoin to stop work now that the quota has been raised. A large over-subscription is sought. Not only was this-money subscrib ed in the face of organized opposi tion of the industries of Haywoo') County, and newspapers of the comn ty, but it was necessary to confine f the fund-raising activities to Way .nesville, as the other sections of the county had been intimidated by the opposition bf the , large industries, , which for selfish reasons; sought to block movement. The sr.:n of $>00,CO was therefore, entirely subscribed by the people of Waynesville and vic: .ii i n . i " j t i ?#51 J * ,1 ,v ' #? f?tT-s,K n? ':".wm: ?_i , ?/.'?? . V-- <-V -L- ?'
