U. S. ROAD CHIEF
VISITS SUMTER
Impressed By Sand-Clay
Surface On Trip Via
Dixie Highway
,■ ATLANTA, February 5. That
Georgia is buildi , some of the best
highways in the United States was
the verdict rendered by Captain P.
St. J. Wilson, chief engineer of the
' Federal bureau of public roads, at
the close of a trip this week in the
company of officials of the State
Highway department.
In the party with Captain Wilson

senior Federal engineer of Federal
aid roads in Georgia; W. R. Neel,
state highway engineer of Georgia;
J. H. Johnston, assistant state high
way engineer and B. C. Milner-, chief
field engineer.
They made an automobile trip
fx-om Atlanta to the Florida line by
way of Griffin, Macon, Montezuma,
Americus and Thomasville, travers
ing portions of the Dixie Highway,
and seeing completed, and under con
struction practically every type of
road being built in this state, as
well as some of the principal bridge
projects.
The trip gave Captain Wilson an
opportunity of examining the sand
clay type of road, the bituminous
macadam road, the sheet asphalt
road, the Kentucky rock asphalt, the
concrete road and the vitrified
brick road.
In Spalding and Bibb counties he
saw" two fctetehea of magnificent
conceret road - which have recently
been completed. In Henry and Clay
ton counties he saw stretches of sand
clay road under construction and
completed, and also saw the syste
matic road maintenances now being
inaugurated by the State Highway
department on roads of the state sys
tem.
At Montezuma Captain Wilson saw
the concrete bridge across the Flint
river, one of the longest bridges in
the state, a splendid piece of engi
neering. At Albany he saw another
mammoth bridge across the Flint
river, very high and long.
Nedr Moultrie he saw a stretch of
brick road recently completed, and
in Sumter county he saW -ome par
ticularly fine stretches of sand clay
road, constructed with the red sandy
loam being used extensively in South
Georgia for this type of construction
As chief engineer of the Federal
bureau of public roads, Captain Wil
son came to Georgia for the pur
pose of finding out how the State
Highway department has expended

Lou Tellegen Noted Husband of
Geraldine Farrar, To Play Here
*
Americus playgoers have a treat
awaiting them next Thursday night,
February 10, at the Ryiander the
ater, when Lou Tellegen, will appear
in person in the bright play, ‘'Biiiut
Youth.”
Many Americus people know who
Lou Tellegen is; others have seen
him and admired his work in mo
tion pictures without knowing much
about him; still others probably nev
er heard of him.
first, Mr. 'tellegen is one of the
foremost actors of the present day,
as well as playright and producer.
Secondly, a fact which dues net ap
pear in his - advance press notices,
he is the husband of Geraldine Far
rar, noted Metropolitan grand opera
star.
However, before he and Miss Far
rar were married a few years ago he
was already prominent. For one
Georgia’s allotment of the Federal
road fund. His observations wen
distinctly complimentary lb the do
partment. As stated above, lie ex
pressed the opinion that Georgia i
building some of the best roads it
. | season he toured the country as’the
, i leading man for Mine Sarah Bern
: hardt, a fact in itself guaranteeing
1 1 his standing in the theatrical world.
. j No play, the producers tell us, pre
| sented in this city in the past dc
,: cade had a more finished cast and
, j production than has “Blind Youth." I
the comedy d'-arna in three acts, in I
i i which Mr. Tellegen will present hi.n
--! self and his excellent company,
i ‘.Blind Youth” is from the pens j
!' of Mr. Tellegen and Willard Mark,

Mr. Tellegen v. ill pre- - ,g the piny

known actors, and actresses support •

il l the United States.
c i This opinion coining from such a'
| high source ! all the more signifi
f- j cant in view of the’fact, as was
1:i -hewn to Captain Wilson, that Geor-I
gia's cost of road building are among
tiie lowest in the country. Tip
' State High way department makes it
| a rule to insist upon very close bid- 1
| ding on contract Work, and. to take
j full advantage of home supplies of
| road building ma serial. The last
named factor has enabled the de
partment to save thousands of dol
lars in road construction.
Captain Wilson expressed the opin
ion that the bituminous macadam!
road from tamp Gordon to Fulton!
county lire, and r -veral bituminous j
I macaumn roads in l u'ton county,
j'he best lie ever saw, better th-wi i
J he believed it possible to build. He I
• complimented the department very!
I highly on its work in general, and i
| expressed approval of i‘ - of -
i future work. j
j In the near future Captain Wild
son w.-il return to Georgia fora more'
extended tour of roads, on which he
intends, to spend at least a week and!
c >vct several rid reel miles.

has just been inaugurated in Ameri
cus, according to announcement of j
Postmaster Davenport, and will be I

to make these parcel post deliveries
and he has automobile equipment

made in the outlying districts very
quickly. Deliveries will !bc made

who take advantage of the service
will pay first zone postage on all par
