Special: Work will begin to day on (he Geor gia section of t lu- automobile road, commencing al the bridge spanning ('battunga river and continuing on to the North Carolina line, under the j supervision of .lohn Nix, as foreman of Squad No. I. and Andy Uamby.] foreman of Squad No. Holli of these gentlemen nave Um reputation Of being active and ca rein 1 workers, and wc may expect good and sub stantial results from them as good road builder.-. They will push their pan to completion as rapidly as cir- . ru m st.'in ces will permit. Commenc- | mg .it the village of Pine Mountain, , there will be an entirely new road , built, about two or three miles hum. . which will Intersect willi tho old i road well up tho mountain-side, with ? easy grade, probably about 7 per , cent. , Commencing it the bridge over . Chattooga river, on tho South Caro- | lina side, we have Alf Whitmire and , H. Nicholson, with a tine gang of , hands, doing excellent work on the j cut-off running tbrough W. O Hus- i sell's held. Winni this work is coin- ( ploted an easy grade will be had around this hill, which has been so long dreaded hy tho traveling public. Coming further this way we have Alberl M. Brown with his efficient force, making a road which is lirst class in every particular, about three quarters of a mlle of which is entirely new and of easy grade. Mr. Brown is making good progress with his sec tion of rond, and calc?lales to have it ready in time for .spring travel. If aot before. Highlands is also forging ahead with ht*I* part of the work, which has advanced about three miles this side of Highlands, one mile of which is entirely new and easy grad?'. Hampton Pell is reported as mak ing good progress on the Cashier's Valley end of the old turnpike road, and the work is proceeding with con siderable en t li II.si asm. So wo are made aware of the fact thal there is something doing on this end of the lino, with a very bright prospect for ... completed automobile road between Walhalla and High lands in the not distant future. If is a pleasure also to know thal the work done by Civil Engineers Hughs and Harrison on tho South Parolina side is first class in every way, and from what I can learn from | others Mr. Wright is doing equally us well in Georgia and North Caro lina. So "with a long pull, and a strong pull, and a pull altogether." ive will soon have a road that will bo "a thing of beauty, and perhaps a joy forever." w. H. Day.
