- THE KX05 VlLLE-AUGUSTA ROAD.
\) , '' ? ( i
, For a number of years The Journal has c-..located a
direct highway across the state from South Carolina
to Tennessee,, traversing the length of Jack.-?, a county,
from Cashiers Valley to the Swain county J jc, thrice
"up the Ocona Lufta, through rlie Cherokee Jii -iai laads,
to the Tennessee state line.
*That would be a magnificent, scenic highvay, of in
calculable value to Jackson county. It would be worth
vastly more than its co?tto the state. It would b<*
the making of Jackson county, and of a ricj. and im
portant part of Swain. Along it would be.uery and
interesting places, new, alluring and different, that are
not to be alioiticd by Other routes. This ha. been our
contention.
Now come? Mr. IIugL C. Mid diet on, of Aug ta, point
ing out, in The Augusta Chronicle, that such a Jad, front,
Augusta, via Sylva. to Knoxville would short?.ii the dis
tance from Anglic.a, Jaeiuxnviilc and other Southern
cities to Knoxville and the middle West, by seventy
five n-iles or :;:e:v. and would be a great trur.]. hisrksvay,
of importance to even: city and town through which it
would pass, and to a large part of the South and of the
middle Wist.
Through Highlands, by "Whiteside, through Cjshl'r's
Valley, across the Blue Ridge, down the Tuckaseigee,
by Sylva, and through the Cherokee Reserration. ih^
road would pciktfate the Great Smoky Mountains
National Park, and or into Knoxville, Ljushilie. ?"*?
cinnati, and "Chicago,, shortening the distance from the
cities of AtignMa. "Jacksonville, and numei ors o;V. r
important ScntlvVn cities pnd towns to Kno vilie J;v
more than 75 miles, putting them at the very'edge of
the great Naional Park, and rnaVilf i> fain to ike m
tire Sooth vastly greater. Can nayma* iamgjmm a Mode
road of more importance, of greater ?hn, of mow fa
describable,beauty and awe inspiring gnadferf Is there
a single highway projection of more direst importance
to so many people?
The task is not so great as would at first appear, for
the reason hat eveiy foot of it, in Norh Carolina is on
the original state highway map. Most of it is now inj
use. All but 12 miles of North Carolina's part is either
already completed, or is now under construction, leav-j
ing only 12 mile., that from Revensford to .the top of I
the Smokies, to be graded. Through this state, the route
would come to Highlands, and from there would fol
low No. 28, now being maintained by the state, to Cash
ier's Valley, whore it would enter and follow NoJ.06, now
in use, state maintained, arid being surfaced as fast as
possible, to Syha, where it would enter the state's
greatest highway. No. 10, and follow it, over road now
paved, to Ela Farm Ela to Kavensford the road is now
state maintained to Kavensford, leaving only the 12
miles, already me.itionad, to be graded.
In S.onth Carolina and Georgia, the task of making
highways of those states would even be easier. The task
for Tennessee would only be to meet North Carolina at j
the top of the Smokies, with about equal distance to
build. Really it is easy, just a few little links to con
neet up the whole, and the most marvelous of all the
highways is a fact. y ?
The Journal suggests that the Sylva Chamber of (Jbm
merco call a meeting, early in the summer and invite
the civic bodies of all the cities aijd towns affected to;
cievt with us here and get behind the construction of this
highway, that means money and pleasure to all of us.
The people, of the 4 Southeastern Seabord want the
Park. It is as much theirs,as ours, and a road that
will plr.ee them at. its doors, will intensify their interest
and increase .the vaue of lie National Park to some mil
lions of Americans, and at the same time afford a route
for the Middle Westerners, through the Park, when they
journey Southward for the winter.
It can be done.
