The Walhallaj people came to Sylva over the route,' and state that it is in very good coa-v dition at the present time, and that a little more work is all that' is necessary to make it a ^ery - good road this summer. A number of speeches'were made I by leading citizens of Walhalla and Sylva, advocating the project audi Commissioner Stikeleather pledged | his support to furthering the road, and stated that if has been the policy! of the commission and of Mr. Pasre to meet any state at the state line with as <*ood a road as tse neighbor ji state builds to the North Carolina line. ?

SILK STOCKING SUICIDE SHOCKS CHICAGO SOCIETY Chicago, June 16?Society circles were shocked today by the suicide' of Mrs. Mary Armstrong Vilas, who hanged herself with a pair of silk stockings in a closet at her home here.

D.-Mallonee's reported inten tion of asking for a second primary in the race for the judgeship in the Twentieth District is legally support ed and naturally understandable, but Mr. Mallonee, on reflection, may find other reasons to negative his con templated resolve. ? "Walter E. Moore lias long served the people of the West and the-State in many capacities, though with few public honors. Mr. Mallonee is at J the beginning of his carecr. Would ! it not be a gracious act if the run | ner up in this judicial race should j waive his rights and permit Mr. I Moore to sit on the bench of his dis trict without any further balloting to decide who shall be judge? "A second primary means addi tional public expense, although the law provides for it. The sentiment of | the people is usually opjjosetl to a i twice run political race. The \andi date who gracefully stands aside>in favor of the highest man gains 'friends; lie who calls for another contest sometimes loses friends who supported him in the first inf stance. "It is not saying too ijiuch to state that Mr. Mallonnee has before him the opportunity to make reason ably certain ? his election to office at another time by retiring now from a field where he has a clearly, lawful title to remain as a contender. To retire is often better part of valor; and of wisdom."?Asheville Times. ROBT. L.
