BAND WITH 22 PIECES WILL LEAD
ALBANY BOOSTERS AT LOG ROL
LING.
. Albany’s ‘delegation at Cordele on
Thursday will be headed by the Bain
bridge Concert Band, containing twen
ty-two pieces. Negotiations to secure
this band, ‘which is. considered one of
the best in the state, have been on
for some time, but were mot finally
closed until yesterday afternoon. The
Albany camp, W. O. W., felt that they
needed a bit of extra noisé and decid
ed to get a band to create the excite
ment.
The band will come over to Al
bany from Bainbridge and will go to
Cordele on a special train with the
Albany. boosters. The members of Ce
day camp will form in line.at the cor
ner of Broad and Washington streets
Thursday morning at 7:30 o'clock and,
headed by the band will march out
North Washington to the depot, where
they will board the special train for
Cordele. Officers of the camp are try
ing to get every member to go and as
many citizens as can get off are urged
to take the trip and help pull the
next log-rolling to Albany.
The Chamber of Commerce has re
quested every employer in Albany to
‘let as many of his employes as can be
spared, in order that Albany may have
the biggest representation at Cordele.
The larger the crowd, the better will
be the .chance Albany will have for se
curing the next convention.
The Albany Bill Posting Company is
having a 10x30 foot sign erected on
a public square in Cordele, inviting the
1917 log rolling to Albany. Other steps
are also being made to push Albany’s
claim for the next log rolling. ‘

SIR ROGER CASEMENT'S
APPEAL IS DISMISSED
London, July 19.—The appeal of Sir
Roger Casement against the death
sentence for high treason for activi
ties in the Dublin revolt was dis
missed by the Court of Criminal ap
peals today.
The. court did not hear the crown
attorneys. It decided that they had
answered the arguments of Case
ment’s qcounsel in the lower court.
For a’day and a half Alexander Sul
livan, for Casement, argued, quoting
many authorities favoring his con
tention that the offense of treason
depended on whether the accusd
dwelt under the, protection of the king
and that the crime could not have
been committed without the realm.
There will be further appeals only
if the attorney-general gives a certifi
cate that the di¢ision of the Court of
Criminal Appedls involves a point of
law so exceptionally important that it
is desirable in the public interest that
the still higher court deal with it. This
has been done only twice since the
Court of Appeals was established 8
years BLO. : .ii, .
There is no feature in all this Wood
man business that goes against the
grain. :

NATIONAL TOURING WEEK
| TO LURE NATION
' The greatest organized automobile
travel this country has ever seen is
assured for National Touring Week,
the remarkable movement that is pro
‘moting a general starting on vacation
;automobile trips August 6th by the
‘motorists of this country.
\’ The idea of an official automobile
‘tour participated in ®»y every motor
list who can make his vacation coin
cide with the week of August 6th has
gripped the interest of the owners of
motor cars through the land. The
early momentum the movement has
gained has surprised the originators of
the idea. All Amerrcans wiho think
of automobiles and vacations in the
same breath are thinking with the red
letter date ‘“August 6th’’ branded on
the though.
The automobile trade and automo
bile clubs have enlisted in the move
ment, and are driving it ahead with!
‘their characteristic force. Newspapers,
sensing the popular appeal of so nov
el an outing, are hurrying its develop
ment along. \
That American motorists should
spend their vacation in their automo
biles on the xoad is common sense.
That as many of them should attempt‘
to do so on an official Touring week is
merely an efficient method of arousing
the nation to seeing America now.
The organization 6f National Hour
ing Week is neglecting no department
or phase of this motoring outing. Ho
tels are being stimulated to provide
for the week, and they are making ex
tra preparations to care for the excep
tional travel at that time. Supply
dealers are strengthening their organ
izations to meet the demands of the
greatest coincident mileage they have
ever faced.
~ “See Amreica first by seeing your
own state first,” is the sentiment back
of this national outing awheel. Coupled
with it is the reminder to the motor
ist that the finest vacation offered him
is the one nearest—a vacation tour of
his own state in his own car.
The average automobilist knows less
about the beauty and natural wonders
of his own state thany any other part
of his country, notwithstanding the
fact that, whatever his state, spots
of picturesque charm ere hidden with
out number within a radius of a hun
dred miles of his garage. With a road
map and an intelligent eye for guide
posts, he may link them on a circuit
that will stand forti as the tour of
his life.
The motorist who fails to tune up
his car for the week of August 6th is
jeopardizing the full ;juy of his vaca
tion.
The cord that binds the Woodmen
in fraternity is one of full measure.
