Some enterprising citizen of this

Here's hoping the Atlanta district

The trend of the American mind,
can, perhaps, be measured by the
amount of publicity given to the
deaths of Dr. Charles Elliott and
Rudolph Valentino.
In the Sandhill section ot North
Carolina this year thousands upon
thousands of bushels ot the finest
peaches ever mown are going to
waste, for want of market. Yet in
many parts of the United States are
people who would buy if the pcacclis
were available to them; proving
again that the marketing and trans
P ? ?
portation system of this country is
sadly out of joint.
NO. 10 NOW OPEN
The last barrier has been removed.
The last mountain range has been
overcome; and No. 10, the Main
street of Eastern America, is now
open from Asheville to Murphy, af
fording one of the finest highways
and scenic routes in all America.
Well might the people gather at
Murphy and rejoice. Well may the
people feel a new life in the Western
counties. No longer are Jackson,
Swain, Cherokee, Graham, Clay and|
Macon, isolated from the state. It!
is now easier and quicker to make
file trip from Murphy to Greensboro
than ft was from Sylva to Asheville
a few year sago. <j |
The west is coming into her own.i
Macon county is redeemed, ii? no
longer a lost province. The excessive
freight rates into that county are no
longer the great draw-back that they
have been in the past, for a concrete
highway connects Franklin with the
Murphy division of the Southern.
No. 10 is open, and the west ean
travel east, and the east west; while
the whole South can ]>our into the
counties of the mountain section
over concrete roads.
The Smoky Mountains National
Park will soon be a reality, augment
ing the great tourist business, im
measurably.
The fanners are turning their at
tention to dairying, poultry, hogs and
market gardening.
One thing we yet lack: a paved
road from Sylva to Walhalla, af
fording still another route from the
South to the mountains, and opening
up the splendid region of upper
Jackson county. That will come.
And now, a new hope, n new light,
a new life, is penetrating the vallies
and coves, the little cities and vil
lages of the -west. On every hand arc
signs of progress and development,
growth and expansion; and the peo
ple are looking to the future with
great expectations, of increasing the
fullness of life.
