AUTOS TO COME THIS WAY. Proposed Kout.- is by Hagley, Seneca ami Knox's Illidge. The Atlanta Journal of Wednes day, had the fellowing, which will be of Interest to those who are Inter ested lu the New York-to-Atlanta automobile route: There ls some work ahead lor the pathfinder of the Atlanta Journal on the Southern end of the official route for the national highway before that route, In three portions of lt at least, is put down definitely on the map. One of the most unsatisfactory links lies between Roanoke, Va., and Salisbury, N. C., coming South. On Tuesday there are three parties out In that territory looking for a better 0 way than the one by way of Bedford City, Bedford Springs, Lawyers, Franklin Junction,Chatham and Dan ville, cutting short of L.vnchbrug. That is the route the scouts followed. The search Ts for a more direct and better route. One alternative In this section was recently traveled by Osmond Barrin ger, of Charlotte,who sends the notes and odometer readings on lt to the Journal on a letter head Inscribed "New York Herald-Atlanta Journal Tour, Piedmont Air Line Route, Charlotte Division." with a list of the city committee, showing himself as secretary. This alternative is by way of Dan ville,Chat ham. Piney Pork, Penhook. Union Hall, making 7?? miles flat from Roanoke to Danville, with an unsatisfactory road beyond Chatham as far ns Penhook. Another party now on the road will transmit through Mr. Barringer information on a route on through Chatham to Franklin Junction, *and branching from thorp westward to Penhook, thence on to Roanoke. Three other parties are out from Roanoke, working southward toward Greensboro or Wlaston-Salcm. One of these parties Is searching for a and Mayodan, leaving Rocky Mount to the east. A second is proceeding by way of Stewartsvllle and Cham blisburg, directly east of Roanoke, and thence directly south to Rocky Point. The third ls trying out a dirie road south to Martinsville route that goes southwest from Roa noke to Christlanshurg, and there turns a little east of south to Floyd Court House, Patrick Court House (Stuart), and thence to Mayodan, where either fork ls yet a possibility io Greensboro at the southeast or Winston-Salem at the southwest, both about equally distant from Mayodan. From Mayodan southward James V. Price, of Madison, N. C., has the suggestion to offer that the route pass through Madison and thence to Summersliold (probably through Stokcsdale. > At Sunimersfleld, says Mr. Price, one macadam highway extends in one direction to Greens boro, and another In another direc tion to Wlnston-Salem. Mr. Price says that the roads from Madison to Sunimersfleld are good dirt roads. Another problem hardly less Im portant ls the one regardjng that sec tion of the route between Anderson and Knox's Bridge. That portion of the ronlo traverses some bad terri 1 lory that in very wet weather be ^ come? Impracticable. Tho necessity ; for the improvement of the route between Anderson and Knox's Bridge became apparent when the scouts came South. After they were ad vised by the Hartwell people them selves not (j attempt the road from Anderson io Brown's Ferry the scouts had to make a wide detour of almost twice the normal distance in order lo reach even Knox's Bridge, all the unbridged streams of the lu ll tervenlng territory on the straight fi road being "wollen by the rains and not possible lo ford. I'nder date of May IO, D. L. Reid, of Anderson county, wrote to the Joni nal suggesting i route tlint may be tried oui by the pathfinder. This suggestion would carry the official highway some nine miles distant from Anderson city to Its closest point. It would go from Knox's Bridge to Earle's Bridge, and thence 10 Soptus, Equality, Brushy Creek and on to 'Greenville, following a straight ridge road In n northoast direction through Anderson county alter crossing Earle's BrldgO. Another suggestion which is meet ing with serious consideration by the Journal's management, which is reserving to Itself the absolute righi to fix the exact moto, would save 20 miles (according to the claims ad vanced for it) between Greenville " and Knox's Bridge by going through I a'.' .> , Central, Soneca and past Clemson College to Knox's Bridge. 11 i.i claimed hy the advocates of Ibis route that the supervisor of Bickens county started actively to work on g? Monday, putting tho road In flrst w"< las? shape between Easloy and Sen ec:.. lt ls also claimed that ovory one of the troublesome streams en countered on tho othor alternative ls headed or avoided hy this route. Between Lavonla and Commerce there is also a problem to be worked COTTON CROP SMALLEST KNOWN (.limers* Association Report Says tho Condition is Very I ?ow.

ELI KS STOPPED A TRAIN. Peculiar Cause that Rrouglit an En glue In Canada to a Standstill. A few days ago the Grand Trunk flyer going East was In hard luck, says the Rainmore American. At Napan?e the steam box on the big engine got overworked, or some thing, and refused to con!lune the journey. The timely arrival of a freight train helped. The cars were shunted to a, siding, and the freight engine brought Into commission on the express, taking it as far as Uroekville, when another large en gine was secured. Now comes the peculiar part of the troubles of that train. Wnen about 20 miles out of Cornwall ll ran Into a sea of peculiar files. There were millions of them-perhaps bil lions, but the train was going so fast it was impossible to count them. The cars became quite dark as the train plowed through the mass of Insects, ar.d then the train came to another sudden stop. The engine was full of flies. The little things were ground into a mass in the driving rod. They were in everything on the engine. Tho train had been ploughing through the files at a mlle a minute for several miles. The track was covered with crushed Insects and the engine wheels bnlked at going round on it. After a little persuasion and a lot of cleaning up the train went upon Its way again. On arrival at Montreal the engine presented a truly curious spectacle. The bars of the cowcatcher were filled right up with flies. On the front of the engine they were several Inches thick.

The question ls whether the route will pass directly south after leaving Lavenia, through Bowen ville and Canton to Royston, and there turn east to Commerce through Franklin Springs, or whether lt will follow the hypotenuse of the trian gle and proceed along the more di rect road southeast to Commerce through Carnesvllle. The Carnes vl'Ie alternative ls shorter lu mile age and leads through the count.\ seat of Franklin county, upon whose government the Improving of either road would devolve. But tho Roys ton alternative takes advantage ol the best mileage thal the scouts tra versed anywhere in their travels, foi they followed that road after one ol the most severe storms known in many years in that section, and reached Royston from La von in with out crossing even a brook. Another question to bo solved ls whether the official route from Law renceville into Allanta will he fixed through Clarkston, Stone .Mountain and Decatur, as it has always been I ravi led heretofore, or whether lc will cul across from Lawrenceville lo Norcross, on the Southern Rail road, to Xorconie, thence via Chnm bloc and the Peachtree road into At lanta. The roads on the Stone Moon, lain alternative aro not of tho bes!, and if the' connecting link mun Law renceville *"> Norcross proves practi cable, tho Si >ne Mountain, Clarkston and Decatur peoplo will have some serious competition on their hands. On account of tho fact that tho Journal's pathfinder will havo BO much mme work to do than tho Now York Herald's pathfinder, the former will tnako an earlier start, probably making Its departure from Atlanta next Monday. Corea Cold?, Croup and Whooping- Cough. Chamberlain's r.i.ooj) FLOWS IN CATALONIA. Wrath of Spanish People Kindled by Moroccan War. Madrid, July 28.-The revolution in Catalonia has reached a serious stage. There ls much bloodshed, and artillery h? s been employed In the strtets of Barcelona to quell the mn I., ra ks. The city ls terror-strick en. The revolutionists are reported to be fighting desperately behind bar ricades. King Alfonso hastened back to Madrid from San Sebastian to-day und at once issued a decree pro claiming martial law a..*l the suspen sion of constitutional guarantees throughout Spain. Orders have been given to the gov ernors of the provinces to crush the revolution at any cost without hesi tation nnd without pity. To-day marks a black chapter Itt Spain's history, for there was trag edy both at home and abroad. The king readied here In time to learn that part of his army at Mellllla had had a bloody battle with the Moore, which, though finally a victory for the Spaniards, cost the lives of many officers and a total of 200 Spaniards killed or wounded. An exact estimate of the dead and wounded in the clashes between tia troops and ?ebels in Catalonia ls Im possible owing to the rigid censor ship. The centre of the rebellion is Bnr uelona, to which place (he govern ment is rushing extra troops. The greatest inquietude reigns In Madrid. King Alfonso was closeted until a late hour with Premier Mau ra and an official not was issued say ing the situation was exceedingly grave and that the rebellion must be repressed with an iron hand, as the Cntalonians were struggling to en gulf all Spain in a revolution. The hostility of the people against the Moroccan campaign ls based on resentment that the nation has been plunged In foreign war and that the nation's sons are being sacrificed merely because of opposition to private mining undertaking. The lower classes, from which the regiments are principally drawn, are especially bitter. The greatest antagonism lias been aroused by the mobilization of the reserves. Many of the men in tiie reserve forcer have large families. Advices from the front state that the holy war sentiment is spreading among the Interior tribes, who, so soon as their crops are gathered, are expected to flock to the coast and join the Rlflians.

Aiken here ls dressed most fashionably and com fortably." The cloth of Mr. Aiken's suit was woven In one of the Anderson mills and made Into a becoming suit by otu of thc Anderson tailors, and if Mr Aiken were only a woman his dress would be described as a "dream.'

We could argue the quality of Columbia Indestructible Cylinder Records until a year from now-but what good would it do if you could not prove it for yourself by coming into our store and seeing and hearing it? We could print a whole newspaper every day about the special and original Colum bia processes of manufacture-and get no where at all if the Records did not bear the evidence. COLUMBIA INDESTRUCTIBLE CYLINDER RECORDS won't break, no matter how roughly they are used, they won't wear out, no matter how often they are played.
