Reports indicate a prevalence of
typhoid fever in many parts of the
county. Only recently the convicts
at the road camp have been inocu
lated against the disease, as it was
found that the water supply was
impregnated with disease germs. Peo
ple should be careful about their
drinking water, and also their milk,
as these are the usual sources of ty
phoid infection.

motorcade will consist of a tour of
automobiles, filled with interested
citizens, who live in Anderson, La
vonia, Commerce, Jefferson, Winder,
Lawrenceville, Snellville, Stone
Mountain and Atlanta.
This tour is for the purpose of ac

way which has almost been completed
by grading and top-soiling through
out its 130 miles of length. It passes
through the beautiful Piedmont sec
tion and is almost a B. line from
one terminal to the other.
The official opening of this tour
will be with a banquet at the new
John C. Calhoun Hotel at Anderson,
S. C., on the night of June 17th. At
this banquet will be about forty cit

Jefferson i? a historic city. Its
age makes it historic, and then it
marks the spot where anaesthesia
was first used, and was the home of
Dr. Crawford W. Long. It has the
distinction of being the place where
was located the first endowed high
school possibly in the nation. It is
located in the heart of as fine agri
cultural lands as can be seen in
Georgia, and has a citizenship noted
for culture and progress.
Let the people assemble here on
the 18th, and give a welcome to the
visitors, or better still, let as many
as can join the motorcade either at
Anderson or some point along the
route, and travel with them into At
