where h3 line should go. Last
week footsteps were heard in
the distance, They were com

outline of the route, but It comes
within a quarter of a mile of
Lin wood College, west of the

The Browning revival closed
here Sunday night with . one of
the largest congregations and
probably the greatest interest of
. the entire meeting. Too meeting
was In progress twenty-two days
durng which time the entire
community has been mightily
stirred. Many feuds have been
settled, many friendships restoi
ed many hunered souls have
shown an interest in their soul
and salvation. About a hundred
have signified their intention of
connecting with the vaiious chnr
ches of the town. Many more
have professed faith in Christ.
The meeting as a whole wa
probably the greatest ever hei.1
here. Besides the general spirit
ual uplift of the community and
the specific cases of professions
many old quarrels were settled.
Ore case is reported where two
persons who hain't spoken to
each other in twenty-yearj were
reconciled. We predict that many
of onr people will avail themselv
es of the meeting which starts
in Gastonla Sunday.

HIGH WAV.
Albemarle. The Charlotte-Pine-hum-Kalelgit
Highway Association Is
getting under war definite steps for
the surveying and construction of the
connecting link of the Mountain To-
Sea Highway, which connecting link
passes through the counties of Moore,
Montgomery, Stanly, Cabarrus and
Mecklenburg. The county authorities
In all the above counties have prom
ised their support and cooperation
to the building of this highway. Res
olutions are now on file with the Stat
Highway Commission by which the
authorities In these counties have ob
ligated to give their support and co
operation to this movement. Dr. J
Hyde Pratt, state geologist, has seen
in this cross country highway a mer
itorious proposition and Is giving It
his hearty support. Report comes
now that the survey of this highway
will begin early this month, and It is
hoped that early In the summer actual
construction can begin.
The Yadkin river and the mountain
ous and hill rectlon through which
the Yadkin flows baa formed a natural
barrier to travel from east to west Id
the southern part of the state. With
the building of the Charlotte-Pine-
hurst-Raleigh Highway this barrier
will be removed, the Capital to Cap
ital Highway will be connected with
the National Highway and a thorough
line of travel will be effected from
Wilmington to Asheville. Many who
have studied the road problems In
North Carolina look on this connecting
link as one of the most Important In
the state. Towns along this connect
ing link, that is Troy, Mt. Oilead, Al
bemarle, Mt. Pleasant and Concord, as
well as Charlotte and Pinehurst are
deeply Interested in the proposition
and will lend every effort to the ulti
mate completion of this highway. Mr.
W. h. Spoon, Br, U. S. Highway En
glneer, has said that by all means this
road should be built as It Is one of the
most Important connecting links of
roads in North Carolina. The survey
Is to begin In May and soon there
after actual construction will start
