ABOUND 6000
Reports from Asheville at the lat
est hour obtainable last night were
to the effect that Mr. Weaver had
carried the district for congress by
a majority ranging around 6000. Hay

1500 for Weaver and this added to
the big majorities in Buncombe and
Rutherford were calculated to put his
majority close to the 6000 mark.
While this figure cuts the majority
of Mr. Weaver more than 2000 from
that which he received two years agj,
democratia headquarters in Asheville
was confident that it would not fall
below 5000.^ ,.

YOUNG OFFICIALS OF A. S. H.
Woodlcy C. Merritt (left), Field Secretary of the Appalachian Scenic
Highway and David Sanders Ballou (right, Director of Field Publicity, who
are exploiting Sylva as a strategic point on the "Wonder Tour of Eastern

CAPITAL TOURS SELECTS ASH ROUTE
Bearing vital news of the inception,
of a new link ill the Appalachian
Scenie Highway from Washington,
D. C., 10 Asheville, two officials of
the ASH, Woodley C. Merritt, Field
Secretary and David Sanders Balloc,|
Director of Field Publicity, arrived
in Sylva Monday evening to begin an
intensive membership campaign, to
[further promotion of the ASH and
i publicity for Sylva. They are making
| their headquarters at the New Jack
son Hotel.
i "Roscoe A. Marvel," declared Mr.
{Merritt, "has just accomplished on,!
of the greatest moves in highway pro
motion that has ever been made. Mr.
Marvel, as everyone knows, is the Iiir
ternational President of the ASH and
also vice-president and treasurer \oi
Kenilworth Inn, one of AshcvilleVs
finest hotels.
A New Highway
"For some time past," Mr. Merritt
continued, "news has been reaching
us of a new coastal roadway from
Maine to Florida, running east of the
mountains and closely following tho
coast line. But competition from th^t
highway, even after it has become an j
accomplished fact, will not bother the i
ASH in its course from Canada to J
the Gulf of Mexico.
Affiliated With Oapitol Tours
"Mr. Marvel has secured the co-|
operation of the Capitol Tours, < one I
?f the oldest touring bodies in the'
world. This route^ starting from|
Washington, D. C. comes das soatfcj
to Richmond, Va., from thence to
South Hill crossing the North Caro
lina line north of Oxford, From1
Oxford, vh". trail leads to the cap
ital of North Carolina, Raleigh,
branching from this city to Southern
Pines aqd Pinehurst, linking the win- j
ter playground with Charlotte and:
Asheville. From Charlotte, the ronle
traverses Gastonia and Kings Moun
tain, running through Chimney Rock
district to Asheville. The latest rouu1,
then, comes over the Appalachian
Scenic Highway on its way south to
Atlanta, Tampa and New Orleans,''
Mi*. Merritt concluded.
Sylva Strategic Point
In outlining the plans for the
coming year, Mr. Ballou, who handles
the field publicity for the ASH, as
serted:
"At the second annjual convention
at Atlanta two weeks ago, the fol
lowing plans were* outlined by the
various committees. These plans were
approved by Mr. Marvel, and work
has already been started.
"The promotion, work, the erection
of road si^ns, and the completion of
new links in the ASH through the
north are essential, of course, but
what Sylva is interested ity accord
ing to Mayor Dan Tompkins, is 'more
dinnerpails and more payrolls' here.
"The Appalachian Scenie Higa
way is interested, not only inj the
tourist trade, which is good in Sylva
