Will Leave Atlanta Next Monday Foi Columbia-Efforts to Have Them Come Via Newberry. From the Atlanta Journal of yes terday ioriing, it was learued thal the scout Cars or path findllers oil tIh proposted automobile highway fron -New York to Atlanta would star from Atlanta on Monday to explor< another route from Atlanta to Wash ington, going from the capital o, Georgia through the capitals of Soutl Carolina, North Carolina. and Vir ginia. Just last week the trip was mad< from New York via Washington Greensboro, Salisbury, Charlotte Gaffney, Spartanburg, Greenville, An der to Atlanta. It is proposed to go over two othel routes. The one mentioned througl the capitals and the other furthei west through Bristol. As stated the capital route, as i is called. will be taken first leavinc Atlanta next Monday morning at o'clock. Dr. 0. B. Mayer, president of th4 ehamber of commerce, has taken ul the matter and is making efforts t< see if these cars cannot be broughi by Newberry. His first step was t< get into communication with Dr. H K. Aiken, chairman of the board oJ trade of Laurens. Dr. Aiken,,in talk ing over the phone said that he woul take the matter up at once with hiz board and a few minutes later Dr Mayer received the following tele gram: "Laurens auto pilots will meel 'party Greenwood Monday night. H K. Aiken.'' It was thoughit after talking the mat. ter over that it would be better tc bring the party,. if possible, via Laur ens to Newberry, as the road thai way is very much better than the di rect route from Newberry to Green wood via Dyson, though the distancE is a little more. President Mayer has appointed a eommittee, composed of Mr. C. T Summer, Dr. F. D. Mower, and Mr. R. H. Wright,' to meet the party at Laurens, if it decided to take thai route from Greenwood to Columbia. I A committee will also get into com munication with the party from At. lanta before Monday, urging the path finders to come via Laurens and New berry and the Forde Mortor company will take a car to Greenwood and sev eral representatives of the chamber of commerce and those interested in au tomobiles will also go to Greenwood on Monday to meet the party on its arrival there. It is said that i.he route fromr Newberry t.o Greenwood vis Laurens is very good and from~ Newberry to Columbia there is a ridge all the way and no streams to cross until Broad river is reached, and it is believed that we can induce the party to come this way. Mr. E. H. Aull was in Atlanta about a week ago and had a pleasant talk with Mr. J. R. Gray, managing editor of the Atlanta Journal, who is very much interested in the location of these routes, and Mr. Gray sug gested that in coming from Atlanta to Columbia he thought they could come via Newberry. Mr. Aull has gotten into communi cation with Atlanta over the phone and will advise the party that we are interested in their coming this way, and that a committee from Newberry will meet th?m in Greenwood. To get this route located via New berry would be a great help to us and would be a great stimulus in the matter of buillding good roads While it will not be worth as much as the securing of the C., C. & the roads and every important road tance. There is no movement that has been started in recent years that will do as much to encourage and help the building of good roads as this locat ing of the automobile tracks between the North and the South. The Atlanta papers have gone into the matter with much enthusiasm and already a great impelus has been given to road buildin?g. In Fulton county they have put the convicts on the roads an devery important road leading out from Atlanta to the coun ty line of Fulton county is already a first class highway. In driving over one of these roads on a recent visit to Atlanta,. the dif ference in the appearance of the homes and the country generally was very noticeable the moment you left the Fulton county line and struck the old highwvay which has not been im proved. The pEople who live along the macadamized roads seem to havE caught the spirit of 'improvement and their homes and the gardens in front of them were in marked contrast t( those along the road whichl had not been improved. As we see it there is not::ing tha1 will so hellp build up1 the rural dis trients as the building of good roads The automobile is here to stay. and it is oing- to have a goreat influene4 DR. AND MRS. ROY Z. THOMAS Leave For the Summer-Pleasant Visit to Charleston-Thence to Fredericksburg )r. anl 1 R y %. ThomavS. Z Newb.erry colege faculty, left on WNe-lnesday for quite a delightful t-rip up the Hudson and other points of interest among the picturesque seen ery of that portion of New York State. From Newberry they went to Char leston, S. C., where they were to be the guests of the captain of a vessel at that port. and from whence they sailed by the Clyde line to New York. They intend spending about ten days in New York city sight seeing, and will then go up the Hudson, and on to Boston and will visit in .the course !-f their trip Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Princeton universities. After this charming trip is ovel they will come down to Fredericks burg, Md., and spend the remainder of their vacation there with relatives. Fredericksburg of itself is a very historical place, being only 30 miles from the battlefield of Gettysburg and 12 miles from Antietam, and the place where General Lee made his famous address on his way into battle. It is also the scenes of the home of Barba ra Frietchie, who Whittier makes a heroine in one of his war poems as the old woman who placed a United States flag in her window when the Confederate troops were marching through the town. Dr. Thomas says, 'however, this cannot be authenticated, and has very little of the semblance of truth .to it. He says there was a woman named Barbara Frietchie liv ing at that place daring the war, but that she never did what Whittier claims she did. He says her house is still standing and is frequented by many visitors. Before leaving Dr. Thomas said that the lyceum course for the college next season was to be especially fine, and this will be a matter of pleasing interest to the people of Newberry.
