- Il4y yea re ago a bad fgllo* with a bi1;reputation pulled a- stunt that he I led "marching through Geor gia4 . The records do not state wh ' r his reputation made him bad -or then hip..badness made his re pus n, anyway he was possessed wit) oth And perhaps the devil to boot. Thp mission of the fellow just des''ibed was destructive in intent and t.sanything but peaceable. He probbly traveled at a speed of about eight~en miles per day. Sunday morning, July the 3rd, this yeai, Lour very peaceful South Caro liniTfis left-Easley to "Ford it" into Georgia. They 'traveled at about eighteen miles per hour which goes to prove that peace is very. much swifter and more desirable than is war. After some deliberation we decided to go by the upper or moun tain,.rpad, and in a very few min - utes;"'driven by J. A. J., the Ford was lifting dust on the top soil road to Liberty, which was passed at 8:15 a. m. At Norris we observed that the evening before had been much better weather for ducks than it had at Easley-a good rain had fallen there. Central, Clemson College and Newry w-?re passed on schedule and just at 10 o'clock we rolled into Seneca but made no stop until we crossed the bridge at that place and found that we had taken a road that led too far south from the tracks of the Southern Railway, so we turned back north and just west of Seneca struck'the highway, over the old rail road bed, leading to Westminster where we made our first stop for c few minutes to give the Ford a littl< oil. Leaving Westminster we wens a scurrying down the old railrcat grade towards the Tugaloo river, b3 Richland, Harbins anl Madison. Th< road in this lap of our tr'p was rucl bett ir than we expected to find an< run; through eme pretty tnibe: land. We crossed into Georgia cv th< old Jarrett bridge which stands righ at the new railroad bridge. 11: rt the old widower and the old bache for had some real thrills passed uj to thwn. In the river just aboe t:h bridge a bevy of women and riris in Atlantic City costumes, were hav. ing an apparently very enjoyabl< time, judging from the laughter anc little exclamations of delight of fright that floated up from the cleaw waters of the river. Right here om schedule would have gotten badly ou of time if another car had not bees trailing us into the bridge and ask ing insistently for the right of way One of the wily old timers said tha one of the women in the river wa about the prettiest woman that h had ever seen (name can't be men tioned on account of his great dislik to publicity. Our ford climbed out of the riv valley in goodI time and up on thi erest of the hills going toward Toc coa we caught a vision of natura ybeauty that lilled our minds wvitl p !leasure. -Just at noon we ro]let into Toccoa and stopped right ir front of an old time livary stable no, wve didn't give the Ford any corn. Our stop was to get direction which a very clever gentleman soon gave u.Leaving Toccoa we turned nerynorth into the mountains, at omrand other places bl)Cow Cur rahe montai. Atera still climb, over a very passable mountain road, we came to a place where two Geor gia counties hdada hedon col lision ; and the fellows over there wer? so pr!oud of it that theye had V put up a big sign t~o tell the traveler just how Georgia counties (do cut up). The sign read, "County line Steph ens andI 3anks." We dlidn't stop to untangle the wreckage but were soon out on the ridlge that leads into Mt. Airy, with beautiful orchards of ap pies, peaches and other fruits on Seach sidle of the roadl for miles. We Sfound this se ction of Georgia to he about the most attractive to the eye of any that we p~assedl through. At. Mt. Airy we stoppedC~ for din r.er. The hotel here s'2emed to be pretty well .filled with transient -guests, andl some of them were hav Snig a quiet Sunday lounging on the porches or on the lawvn. While we were eating, a very clever Georgian ambled over to swap the tim? of dlay with us andl incidentally to .in formi -us that times in Georgia were still pretty "'old fatsh ioned"l' in a number of ways and th:.t normalcy was get ting back to no.rm.al for some of the prodcts ef thia; fina old( hill con 4 try. W ' indulged the good Geor gin'" w.v'o to t he extent of inquir.. ies oaly a; look his wvordl for it that it was finie eu and~ only lour bones per gallon. Leaving Mt. Airy on the old railroad bed we paIss;ed at the left of the road, just west of the business section, on a commandling ~ elevation the summer home of the Inate Judlg Emory Speer', that great and noble Geargian t.o whom so nmany of the graduates of law at Morcer University in Maucon owe -debts of gratitude. It was an Jin piratin 'to sit b'efore thO tmimn ir as he lect1re-- il l e cla 15 in lla y,"arid ma0y.'al 011? gn-f-t day ha's reached, influential posito? because' Judge Speer was his frien, We reached, Cornelia just as ti morning services were closing in ti different. churches.; Here we sto 'ped 'and gave the Ford 1 and Ford driver' understan the quani qa. the. numerals. indicate. We le Cornelia and on the way out wel passsed by a high powered roadst, carryrig four people, two men ar two women. That bunch wasn't e actly happy or fitted up. or som thing or other, for they had left Co nelia all grouped up in front'toget er, or to be exact, well seated. Wh< they passed us one fellow was a alone, in his glory on a little fic seat back up from the tonneau, ar his pretty white pants were takit on some color from the red hills c Georgia. In a few minutes we pas ed the roadster drawn up at the sh of the road, and one of the girli was doing her best to persuade h pet, from his perch back in the r' ap front again out of the heat. ',Y left them, holding a conversatio :nd reached the conclusien that might not have be'n as hot back c the little seat as it was up front. At Sulphur Springs we stopped f a few minutes to take some refres ing plain water. At this place large rrumber of cars parked up t surroundings, and a big number apparently happy and prospero :'oik were enjoying a beautiful Su (lay afternoon. In a few minuI after leaving the springs we ran in Gainesville, passing, on our right we werat in, the buildings of Brene Coileg'e. At Gainesville we stopp at the up-to-date refreshment a drink palace established by forne.r e'ti:en of Easley, Mr. J orge. .Jtt out from Gainesvi we cm( e u) pon the county, state a io'naI hig'hway that leads on anta. Thi: road is well laid c ..nl w'x';1 be, when thoroughly co bltted, a nerfect speedway. N . ade no further stop until we rear ed Buford, at which place we tura nea'rl:. youth over a splendid rc e:ding to Lawrenceville. Ie-re topped for a few minutes and tc -;me soft, cooling drinks. It v now nearly 5 o'clock, and soon af I having Lawrenceville our vision Ii ed the top of Stone Mountain as stood far away over the tree to all opal and emerald in the even sun. When we reached' Decatur we : -jinto another group of South Ca linians on a trip to Georgia a t After shaking hands and talking s a few minutes with these fel e compatriots we drove out from - eatur into the Druid Hills sectior e the city and entered Atlanta al Ponce de Leon avenue. At 20 n r utes to 7 o'clock we had stopped SLuckie street; and wvhile we, w w ~aiting for our bachelor fellowi tr 'eler to arrange matters withr the It who owned the food andl beds, a s tor bus carrying its full cargo white cappcd happy nurses from i Baptist hospital rolled by, and in wake, to show that he was plm smart, scurried a little almost I muan thing in a racing car. The I tle animal didn't get much attenti and soon darted by the bus on ir the heart of the city. Our good< bachelor friend got everything sat facto rily arrangedI and we wvere so ieted at the uipper table enjoying wall1 cooked and well served meal. At 8:30 p. in. we were sea ted the Haptist Tabernacle and it w a pl!easure to us as the members the choir filed in and took their set to see our hostess among the nu: 0(e'.

This to is no doubt due to the fact that in d our country we have no Stat< ig church, but numbers of different de if nominations; and out of their con s- flicts of opinion comes clarity of le thought and sanity in conduct, some tames. !r Early Monday morning we pay ou r, Ford out of storage and dodge 'e around A tlanta for a few miles un n, til we finally get straightened ou it on the highway through College Parl mn to Union City. When we reached i we found that Union City was ful or and running over with ears and au h- tomobiles from South Carolina, Ten nessee, Florida, Alabama and Geor agia. Wehad hardly gotnstill i: our parking place when up dashe another Ford and in it were severs us good fellows from Buford who ha 1 also come down to hear the "tw es Toms," as the Georgians call then In this crowd was a son of Mr. J as P. Crane who is well known in ou county. After we had left our For ad and gotten a bottle of pop we amble on down to the park, and as we neai a ed the entrance we heard about si 0 thousand people all singing at onc< e Now that was old time stuff that h li the spot, and we waded up clos< to t to get the real old happy Georgi tpmr't. In a few minutes a wave o Il-h.eering started way. out. toward 1t , entrance. It rose and fell in wav as it moved along the ranks of ti more than 15,000 people who swvarn ad"d over the acres of shaded grov we All ey2s focused toward the poil ok where the cheering had started at as in a few moments up at the stan "er a man dressed in cream colored cot f. and trousers with an almost pu IC white vest was mounting the ste Ps, to the speakers platform.

His face bore the lines ,an heavy and continuous mental stra ro- and toil, but as he faced about a Is. let the eagle eyes rove out over i for great throng for a full space of s low onds, there was silence. And th De- like the roar of a mighty blast of wind the cheering broke forth ago ng and again. Thomas E.

The section visited is about three miles square South of the Southern Railway between' Easley and Liberty. 'he destruction was complete. Corn wvas torn to shreds and cotton was literally stripped, leaving only the ;talk. All of the gardens and the fruit in the section was destroyed.
