VOL- 9 Legislators Impressed With Carolina Roads Representative S. 0. Penland wa« a member of a group of legislators who spent four days on an automo¬ bile tour of North and South Caro¬ lina inspecting their system o f building roads. On returning to the stat- J capitol Monday, at is said that t’ie commit¬ tee was strongly impresied with the progress these two adjoining states are making in roacbuilding and strongly endorsed ary feasible plan by which Georgia can forge to the front as a road-building common¬ wealth. In impecting the work done by the twc Carolines, the solons found, they state, that while South Caro¬ lina is committed to a “pay-as-you go” system, Xorth Carolina has largely created her magnificent sys¬ tem of hard sirfaced highways thru a $65,000,0(0 state bond issue. The results show, they say, stroigly in favor of tie bond issue plan. _ However to the splendid road systems in both states, the Georgia lawmakers gave all praise ard ad¬ ded their oelief that the rapid in¬ dustrial <strides of both cjuI d be largely attributed to the good roads in all sectious. As a result of their nspection, and of a number of pubic meetings at which they were guets of honor, the Georgians have coicluded that maintenance is at leaft as impor¬ tant, if not more so, ai original con¬ struction. They als< stated that •they are positive that hard-surfaced roads would [prove the best and most economical itfg^mg run. party, is of tire opinion .hat a bond issue i; the only pr >p,'i answer for Georgia’s road problem. He does not, however, advocate as expensive or extensive a plan as that of North Carolina, but he advocates an issue of not over $40,000,000. His plan provides for amortization of these bonds by use of the three-cent gaso¬ line tax already collected, without the necessity of any additional tax burden for the state to carry.

C., is astir mak¬ ing preparations for the coming of l)r. Geo. W. Truett, world famous preacher, whose acceptance of an invitation for a series of sermons was received there Sunday by tele¬ graphic communication from his Dallas, Tex., home. Dr. Truett is scheduled to be in Murphy from August fOth to the 22nd, and dur¬ ing his sojourn will .speak twice daily in the large tabernacle, which is being erected on Cherokee Park adjoining the large grandstand in the fair building. The coming of this world renown¬ ed preacher to the place jof his birth as an event such as this section has not witnessed in many a year, if ever. Dr. Truett is a native of Clay County ..near Murphy, and has many school day friende among-the in¬ habitants of that section who will welcome him back as a brother. This entire section is proud of him, who, laboring under [the severest handicaps in his youth, has gone ■ fourth and attracted the plaudits of the world. Dr. Truett got his early -training in a private school near Hayesville. When but a youth, what is now Hiawassee College, at Hiawassee, Ga., was established and young George Truett was made its first principal, in which capacity he achieved unusual success. Ia the meantime his parents. had moved to Texas and the son followed at th end of the year. Just jibout that time Baylor College, now Baylor University, was launching a cam¬ paign for an endowment fund of $100,000 and young Truett was ask¬ ed to steer the drive. A youth but 21 years old, he made a speaking tour of Texas and raised the money and having finished this task he en¬ tered the college as [a freshman. Upon his graduation he was offered the presidency of his Alma Mater, but chose rather to accept a call, whice had just been received, to the First Baptist Church of Dallas. He has served this great church con¬ tinuously since that time, some twenty-five years in all. Under his ministry the church has had a con¬ tinuous growth and even now its seating capacity is being doubled to to take care of the crowds who flock to hear him. Dr. Truett expects to bring his wife and daughter to Murphy with him, who will view his native sec¬ tion for the first time. It is expected that during his se¬ ries of services in Murphy, visitors from as far as Asheville, Atlanta and Knoxville will come to hear him. Every reasonable effort is being made to care for the thous¬ ands that are expected to gather twice daily from the immediate sec¬ tion, towns and cities in Western North Carolina, North Georgia and East Tennessee. A tabernacle with a seating capacity of 3,000 people is under way, camping grounds will be opened to the public, hotels and private homes are being listed where visitors may stop. In this way it is hoped that the crowd can be handled. Murphy accounts herself fortun¬ ate indeed in securing this noted preacher for a series of services.
