VOL. XXVIII, No. 2.1
THE UNICOI ROAD
A large delegation of citizens
from northeast Georgia appeared
before the state highway commis¬
sion recen'ly and asked that the
road across the Blue Ridge moun¬
tains from Helen, in While county,
to Hiawassee, in Towns county, be
incorporated in the state system.
Under the recent law approxi
matelySoo miles of roads in the en¬
tire state may be added. There are
in all sections many important con¬
necting links that bring trunk lines
together, or make them accessible
to sections that are otherwise cut
off. It will possibly be some
months before the state board can
formulate its schedule of additions
as, very wisely, it is giving careful
hearings to all such appeals.
The Unicoi road, in mileage, is a
mere drop in the bucket. It is ap¬
proximately 25 miles. But there
is not a road in Georgia that can
present any greater or more press¬
ing needs' for being in the state
system. The fact is, it is the neck
to a bottle. It is the only road,
without looping an elbow, that
gives the people of Hiawassee val¬
ley on the north of the mountain
an outlet to the south, or the peo¬
ple of theNacoochee-Sautee valleys
an outlet to the noilh.
And it is a great deal more, for
on the south it connects with the
Appalachian scenic highway and
other trunk lines via Cleveland and
Gainesville, and on the north it
connects witli the BlueRidge
Cluyton slate highway, which trav¬
erses most of the state east and
west, and also with I he interstate
highways into North Carolina, al¬
ready permanently paved north
and west of the state line. It is,
therefore a strategic road of
unusual importance besides giving
ingress and egress to a large num¬
ber of Georgians who are other¬
wise ‘'bottled up.”
Botii Towns and White counties
have done a great deal of work on
tjiis road m the past few months.
1'owng county eyen allocated a
large sqm from > ts gas-tax allot¬
ment to work op this road in
another county, so important and
necessary is it to the people of that
county.
There are no railroads in this
section of Georgia, hence the high¬
way appeal is unusually strong. By
all means the state board should
place the little Unicoi link, that
will make several trunk lines so
ninch more serviceable, in the state
system.—Editorial in Atlanta Con¬
stitution.

White County was origionally a
part of Habersham which was
named for Joseph Habersham.
Sydney Lanier refers to this part
of Habersham—now White—when
he wrote; ‘‘Out of the hills ol
Habersham, through the valleys of
of Hall, sings the song of the
Chatiahoochee. Abide! Abide!
Abide!
There are many turns in the lane
of life. The road Iras curves and
quagmires, therefore it is well to
keep the eye on the rail and the
hand on the throttle. You will
see a man sailing 011 the placid
Niagara river. Just ahfead beyond
the turn of the river is the mighty
cataract. He soon is caught in
the swift current and hears the
waters roar but lit; hears those sad
words too late and is swallowed
up. The British and Tories over¬
ran this country iq 1776 but they
soon saw the turn in the lane at
Yorktown. Napoleon, that mili¬
tary genius, who changed the map
of Europe, and it seemed he would
soon have the Eastern world at bis
mercy, but there was a turn in the
road and he met his great Waterloo
and he retreated to St. Helena.
