Asheville, July 28—Organization to cooperate in a large way with the Atlanta-Asheville motorcade, for formal opening of the new highway connecting Atlanta with western North Carolina, has been started here.
Mayor J.H. Cathey has been appointed general chairman of arrangements. He will be assisted by the presidents of the civic clubs of Asheville. A delegation of Asheville citizens, motoring, will go to Atlanta on Sunday, September 13th, to act as an official escort for the Atlanta motorcade, leaving that city on Monday, September 14th, and reaching Asheville on the evening of September 15th.
Entertainment will be provided en route. The motorcade is under the auspices of the Atlanta Journal. The city editor, Harlee Branch, and his party, were here last week with a scout car. They were cordially received.
