All three of these highways lead fromTennessee and points west, converging into Koad 2K at Laurel River bridge. Road 20 is one of the principal thoroughfares' of North Carolina, 3rd for the most part is paved from one end of the State to he other with the exception of a' few miles in Madison County. The gist of the speaking at the banquet was in the interest of the completion 01 mse three roads. At thfe meeting wera representatives from Hot Springs, Newport, Greeneville, . AA evil e. Mars Hill, Walnut, and Marshall. All the speakers favored the comple tion of these three highways. The State Highway Commission was rep resented by Mr. J. G. Stikcleather; Commissioner for the 9th District, and Mr. Walker, Highway Engineer. After hearing-speeches from repre sentatives from all the places mo tioned, Mr. Stikeleather, and Mr. Walker" were heard. Mr. Stikeleath er went on to show the financial dif ficulties in the way of carryb out the wishes of those who had spoken. He stated with emphasis his. interest in the complet on of these roads,- and declared that under the easting laws e only' way 'WirfotfoTtoion'-wdd be finaLed would be for Madison County to put up a part of the rec essary funds. He showed his wil lingness to use to the Kmit the Fed eral aid, but that the Federal Gov- reauire that the County meet the Federal aid dol ar for dollsf, and that unless - ty could do this, he saw no way to apply the Federal funds. Inasmuch as the law prevents a bond isue m Madison County without a vote of the people, there seems to be no so . lution to the problem of financing the proposed projects. Of course all the speeches pictur ed the advantages the completion of these roads would give Madison County by inducing tourists to come this, way rather than some other. renIrIsby".

It waf found, that during the last year about $9,000.00 of the town s in debtedness had been paid off, and that the financial standing of the town was in much better shape than it was a year or two ago. It was found that the tax rate could be re duced from $1-50 to $1.25 without detriment to the financial obligation to 'the town. While some objected o iroar nr two 8K0 to the increase of the rate, that increase had enabled its officers to pay off the outstand in nressinar obligations of the town, and to restore its credit.

It seems that women today make up between 85 per cent and 90 percent of the purchasing power in the United States. Moreover the (ladies, it should be known, not only constitute this tremendous purchasing force, but research brings to light their tremertr dous influence on the purchas es inade directly by men. ' Tbns certain motor cars are purchased directly by the mas culine head of the famuy nut because as he may believe he has all by himself madq up his mind but because one or more feminine heads have in vestigated the motor market, sat behind' this and that steer ing, wheel, talked-to this and that mechanic. i T iUwiae ith average .' man women's specialty shop has actually opened a men's fur nishings departmentnot par ticularly with the thought of intriguing the gentlemen thence but because it wiM save the ladies the trouble of go ing elsewhere to make com plete family purchases. The department consists of ' sus penders, socks, shirts, 'ties, and the like, and is perhaps but a stepping stone to the day when out of business-hours the gentlemen may spend every waking moment on the golf course or at baseball games.

The first series Of addresses On the Brown Lecture Foundation-will be,; givfin this year in connection with Founders Day and will cover two jlZond 1, 1930. The College jjs I fortunate in securing Dr. William : 'Francis Powell, pastor of the First '.Baptist Church of Nashville, Tenn essee, as the speaker. This Founda tion was established by Dr. A. E. Brown of Asheville a short while be- . fore his death. It was given in lov ing memory of his father, William Albert Gallatin Brown, who was the first president of Mars Hill College, 1856-58. It therefore perpetuates I the names of this great teacher and I his more distinguished son who built up the marvleous system of moun tain schools.. Dr. Powell was a teacher at Fruitland, one of the schools of the system, and a great friend of Dr. Brown, whose gift made possible this series of lectures and the . others that will follow through the years. And it is a strik ing coincidence that the first ad dresses in the series comes on the centennial of the birth of W. A, G. Brown. On Monday morning, Octo ber 13, there will be a recognition service for the Brown family, con ducted by Rev. J. B. Grice, presi dent of the Board of Trustees of the Collere. An invitation has been sent out to all living descendants of W. A. G. Brown, and many of them will he nresent. Dr. Powell is a na- 'tive of this state, a graduate of Wake tist Church of Asheville for several years before going to Tennessee., Many of his friends will attend these addresses. f"' R. L. MOOKE.
