Engineer Heel Says Cleveland Is
Os Federal Interstate Highway
The Appalachian Scenic High¬
way ha6 been defiuately and per
mantly decided by the Bureau of
Public Roads to be designated arid
properly numbered as a federal
interstate highway.
The letters from Mr. Neel and
Mr. James are being given below
for your information :
Feb. 8, 1926.
Mr. James P. Davidson,
Secretary, N acoochoe-Uia w assee
Road Association,
Cleveland, Du.
Dear Sir
Replying to your letter of Jan.
26, map showing the interstate
routes selected for uniform number
ing is not yet available as adjust
ments in a few states are still pend
ing. This work, however, is pro
grtwing and it is expected that
final edition of the map, showing
the complete system of numbering
as adopted by the several states,
will be available within a few
weeks.
Very truly yours,
E. W. James
Chief. Division of Design,
Mr. James P. Davidson,
Cleveland. Ga.
Dear Mr. Davidson :
Your letter of the 10th received.
I wish to advise that the Appala¬
chian Scenic Highway via Cleve¬
land is IJ. S. Highway Route No,
2jo. As far us Georgia is con¬
cerned this route has defiuately
been fixed aud number agreed upon.
We ar* pnpM-L.g.-to.properly .-mark
this highway in Georgia, number
plates, shields and other markers
liuve already been ordered.
This route continues from
Gainesville into Atlanta, anothei
marked route brandling off at
Gainesville, passing thru Athens,
on to Macon and from there two
routes branch off, one going direct¬
ly thru Ferry, Cordele, Valdosta
into Florida and the other going
from Macon to Savannah, crossing
another U, S. Highway marked
route at Baxley; this latter route
going thru Way cross and on to
Jacksonville.
1 wish to advise that at Athens
there is also a route going directly
to Augusta, so you see Cleveland
will have connections over ,several
U. S. Highway marked routes
leading thru the principal cities ol
the 6tate.
Yours truly,

CHANGE THE SYSTEM
I11 all of the controversy in the
state press and among citizens gen¬
erally regarding the state highway
problem The Constitution has made
the contention that the .system that
creates the crazy-quilt, patch-work
paiing situation is wrong. It is
just as firm in that belief as it is in
the belief also that highway coordi¬
nation will never be possible until
the state, instead of the county, is
made the unit in the construction
of a slate-wide program.
The Cleveland Courier makes the
following very sensible and good
tempered allusion to the matter :
‘.•The Courier realizes, as does
everybody who wants to be fair,
that politics so engrosses and per¬
meates the state highway system
that it is hampering and hindering
1 high way construction. Then The
Courier bolds that 1 he first and
i most important thing fur the legis
j hiture to do is to remedy the svs
i tern, \\ lat is wrong with the svs-
1 tent is beyond our information to
give. But that should be said of
‘ the legislature after their adjourn¬
ment of the extra sessions.”
We believe the editor of The
Courier can look around him and
see “what is wrong with the sys¬
tem.” The highway connecting
the Nacoochee and 11 iaivassee val¬
leys—the. “I nicoi (Sap road”—
should have been in the state road
mileage mouths ago, due to this be¬
ing the one important southern
outlet for 'Towns County, and due
to the law that demands that coun¬
ty seat to county seat shall be di¬
rectly connected. And it is not on
the state highway map yet. This
Xunis' |ii»« ’'W- smd fh.aj fink, .will
take, of the 800 miles added in
I 1925, less than 2.5 miles.
| Not a mile of that 8no has been
allocated, after all these months.
There is scarcely a county in Geor¬
gia that does no! want some of this
additional mileage located in its
borders, or section. Will any of it
be allocated shbrtly ? is this mile¬
age be.ing held over the heads of
Georgians as a political "big
stick”? These are questions Geor¬
gians have a right to ask.
Too much politics, That is one
of the trouoles,
Otu contention, however, from a
practical constructive viewpoint, is
that connected paving can only be
secured by the state becoming the
constructing unit,—

ASBESTOS BUZZING
Several of the boys are now re
turning from Florida, which may
a sign that winter has broken.
|\Ye hope so at least.
J it is pleasant to read about the
jgreat achievements ot men. Some
are born great, some achieve great
ness ami others have greatness
.thrust upon them.
Let Virgil sing the praises of
and Mark Anthony ex¬
tol the bravery of dead Caesar as
he said his heart was in tlie coffin
with him. Let men seek an earth
ly crown and renown and soar to
by becoming a child of the
skies for they will be envied by the
large crowd below. Emerson said:
“Hitch your wagon to a star.
For that was before they had tlivers
and jitneys. Aim high if you
light low, but it you full you have
for experience keeps a dear
school and fools will learn at no
other.
Those that sclace Mt. Olympus
will get mighty lonesome for they
will look back and envy those in
the smiling valleys and the Bower
gardens of ease and contentment.
'The ancients said: “Know thy¬
self.” Alexander conquored the
world and wept because
there was no more worlds to con¬
quer and yet in a fit of rage he
slew his best friend. So he that
himself is the greatest
after all. When they were fussing
as to who would he the greutest in
tbe spiritual kingdom that was to
he set up, the Great Teacher set a
little child in their midst and told
them that they would, have to be

country. Full many a Hosver has
bloomed unseen and lost its sweet¬

It was our pleasure to meet with
the teachers and the board of edit
cation last Monday, Times have
changed, so has the teaching pro¬
fession. Education has gone for¬
ward by leaps and bounds in the
last few years. It is best they
should keep in toucli with each
and he organized, for all
other professions are so. A few
years ago these meetings were
made up of men, but now mostly
women. So has the course of
study changed. We use to study
the syllabus and some one remark¬
that the one that made it was
the “silly busier.” Tbe
gaining of new ideas is a great
heip, but the social feature is an
attractive part in these meetings.
We should drink from the running
witters and be refreshed and not
from the stag-pool and have eternal
stagnation,

1706-1790
For a century and a half the homely proverbs
of Beniamin Franklin have been models of .thrift,
flls sayings puBtlshcd in'Poor Riclwd's Almansc
are just as applicable today As when they were
written. They are so human.
Franklin would be a great banker were he
alive today and had the opportunities afforded by a
modern bank. This bank can be a great aid to
those who would practice thrift,
Let Benjamin Franklin be your inspiration anji
