"i'b.ck Kock Ivoad (Incorporated)
has just been organized (April 3,
by citizens of Rabun county
for tie 'purpose, of building, anil
operating a .'.wiic toll-road to
lllack Rock on the crest .of Black
Ruck nioi'iitain.
"Black Rock 'mountain looks
lwvn upon the attractive city of
Clavtoit. seat of. Rabun county.
The Black Rock i ; visible from
the streets of Chyton, and is easily
the most popular of the many
scenic attractions of Rabun coun
ty It coiiirnands an extensive
view of the mountains to the I'.ast
and South.
"Inst north of Black Rock, a
few liiiniio s walk, Tennessee h'ock
rises lo a hiulu r altitude, and
looks down and (iff into the four
states of (noria, South Carolina,
North ' Carolina and Tennessee.
Here a complete circle of scenery
fills the eye, mountain ridge after
mountain rit'ge. like blue billows of
the net an, stricken into eternal
riuiditv. bv the band of an Oni
nin tent Creator.
"This enterprise is the nianfics
tatioii of a community spirit on the
part of Rabun county, the purpose
of which is" to make readily ac
cessible "its numerous scenic at
tractions. It is not a real-estate
development.
"With the completion of the
new mad to lllack Rock, the. op
portunity .would present itself of
cxtcndini: the road the cntirf
. Irnvih of Pdack Rock mountain,
therebv. completing a circular scen
ic liiehwav fifteen, miles in leiieth.

North, passitiR Pdack Rock and re
turninr: to Clayton from the South
There would be not him in scenic
benulv to surpass this prospective
hiehwav in our Sunthern moun
tains. To Help Whole Section
"The chief assets of the North
east Georgia 'mountains are a cool
summer climate, beautiful scenery,
pure water and a restful and
health-Riving environment. This
mountain section is destined to be
come the summer play-ground of
the Southeast. Over a hard-surfaced
highway it is iiow quickly
accessible from Atlanta, Macon and
Athens, and constitutes a valuable
summer asset to these cities and
intermediate territory. The suc
cessful completion of this cntcr
' prise will benefit not only Rabun
county but also the people of the
entire Southeast.
"The sole objective of the com
pany is to build, the road to Black
Kock. This objective is sufficient
for the present, ami affords cer
tainty of successful .accomplishment
both physically and financially.
The matter of extending the road
. westward from Black Rock will
not be considered until alter the
road to Black Rock shall have been
completed and put into successful
Operation.
, "The mileage of new road con
struction is not more . than one
- .tjicI one-half miles. The entire dis
tance from Clayton to Black Rock
via the navel hi'ehwavl Tavlor Gap
. road and the new Black Rock
, road will be about six miles. -"The
owners of land along the
route of the new road liave given
the company, without cost to it,
" the requisite right-of-way and oth
er concessions necessaryto the uses
of the company in properly caring
for visitors to Black Rock.
"It is estimated that the entire
immediate cost of -the new road
construction! will be, about $6,000.
"Labor in this mountain section;
is plentiful, but money is scarce.
This enterprise is being cordially

and widely supported by all classes
of citizens of Uabun county. A
praise-worthy nianifestation of pub
lic spirit is the fact that all em
ployees of the company ami all
other', rendering necessary ser
vices to the enterprise are invest
ing a part of their compensation
in stock of the company. The of
ficers of the company, of course,
are serving withut compensation.
This undertaking is solving to some
extent the unemployment problem
.in Rabun county.
"In this period of business de
pression it will not be possible to
complete the road to Black Rock
in time for use this coming sum
mer, without the aid of friends
outside of Rabun county, who feel
a , sincere . interest , in its advance
ment. "Toll-road enterprises elsewhere
have proved uniformly successful
and profitable. It is confidently
prcdictel that this toll-road will
prove a Satisfactory investment to
its, stockholders. But this considera
tion is not emphasized because of
the much more important' con
sideration that.' the' successful com
pletion of this enterprise will re
dound greatly to .the "benefit of
Rabun county,-and afford exquisite
pleasure . and spiritual thrill to
thousands of summer visitors.
"Considerable progress has al
ready been made in the construc
tion 6f "the new road. As of this
date 3500 feet ef right-of-way has
been cleared, and grading to the
extent of 2600 feet has been com
pleted." '
