Legislators Impressed
With Carolina Roads
Representative S. 0. Penland wa«
a member of a group of legislators
who spent four days on an automo¬
bile tour of North and South Caro¬
lina inspecting their system o f
building roads.
On returning to the stat- J capitol
Monday, at is said that t’ie commit¬
tee was strongly impresied with the
progress these two adjoining states
are making in roacbuilding and
strongly endorsed ary feasible plan
by which Georgia can forge to the
front as a road-building common¬
wealth.
In impecting the work done by
the twc Carolines, the solons found,
they state, that while South Caro¬
lina is committed to a “pay-as-you
go” system, Xorth Carolina has
largely created her magnificent sys¬
tem of hard sirfaced highways thru
a $65,000,0(0 state bond issue.
The results show, they say, stroigly
in favor of tie bond issue plan. _
However to the splendid road
systems in both states, the Georgia
lawmakers gave all praise ard ad¬
ded their oelief that the rapid in¬
dustrial <strides of both cjuI d be
largely attributed to the good roads
in all sectious.
As a result of their nspection,
and of a number of pubic meetings
at which they were guets of honor,
the Georgians have coicluded that
maintenance is at leaft as impor¬
tant, if not more so, ai original con¬
struction. They als< stated that
•they are positive that hard-surfaced
roads would [prove the best and
most economical itfg^mg run.
party, is of tire opinion .hat a bond
issue i; the only pr >p,'i answer for
Georgia’s road problem. He does
not, however, advocate as expensive
or extensive a plan as that of North
Carolina, but he advocates an issue
of not over $40,000,000. His plan
provides for amortization of these
bonds by use of the three-cent gaso¬
line tax already collected, without
the necessity of any additional tax
burden for the state to carry.

First Accident
/
Atlanta.- ■In a crash between the
automobile she was driving and c
whisky car, Mrs. O. I. Biles narrowly
escaped death at Metropolitan anc
Flat Shoals avenue.
After striking Mrs. Biles' auto th:
whisky-laden machine increased its
"telephone epeed until it was wrecked against a
post more than a block fro;r
Where the accinent occurred.
The machine contained two men, ac
cording to the report of a patrolman,
.who lives nerr the scene of the acci
dent, and v.ho gave chase to the cat
on toot. Both occupants jumped ort
and fled, the officer arresting a mao
who ga*e his name as H. Mitchell and
said he lived near Decatur.
When searched the auto contained
,25 gallons of corn whisky, it is report
ed. Mitchell was intoxicated, the of
ficer also reported.
iTie machine was seized, the whisky
confiscated and Mitchell jailed under
.three charges—one of drunk and oj>
.erat ng an automobile, another of vib
latin^ the state prohibition law and an¬
other of reckless driving.
Except for a severe shaking up and
bruises, Mrs. Biles was otherwise un¬
harmed.
Watermelon Price At Lowest Ebb
Macon.—Watermelons are bringing
the lowest prices since 1915, J. L.
Leonard of Leonard. Crosvett & Riley
of Cincinnati, said the other day, giv¬
ing as the reason the flooding of the
market by the late Florida crop. The
Florida crop, he says, was delayed
throe weeks by the unusually cold
Weather cl the last winter, which froze
the vnes and mad" rcp’.anting neces¬
sary. As a result, the Florida melons
were not yet off the market when the
south Georpia melons started moving.
Florida and south Georgia raised an
unusually large crop, and indications
are that a large crop will be gathered
in the vicinity of Macon.
Tobacco Crop In Thomas Good
Thomasville.—The tobacco crop in
Thomas county is in good condition,
and growers report that their only re¬
gret is that they did not plant a larg¬
er acreage. Barns for curing have
been erected in all sections of the
county and worn of curing is progress¬
ing. The sale season is expected to
begin the first week in August. South
Georgia seems to have become a tc
bacco-growing section, and the sue
cessful experiment tn this county will
cause a large acreage next year. Sec
tions around Meigs, Ochlocknee, Pavo
and Boston show the largest acreage
m this county.

George V. Traett
Coming to Morphy
All Murphy, N. C., is astir mak¬
ing preparations for the coming of
l)r. Geo. W. Truett, world famous
preacher, whose acceptance of an
invitation for a series of sermons
was received there Sunday by tele¬
graphic communication from his
Dallas, Tex., home. Dr. Truett is
scheduled to be in Murphy from
August fOth to the 22nd, and dur¬
ing his sojourn will .speak twice
daily in the large tabernacle, which
is being erected on Cherokee Park
adjoining the large grandstand in
the fair building.
The coming of this world renown¬
ed preacher to the place jof his birth
as an event such as this section has
not witnessed in many a year, if
ever. Dr. Truett is a native of Clay
County ..near Murphy, and has many
school day friende among-the in¬
habitants of that section who will
welcome him back as a brother.
This entire section is proud of him,
who, laboring under [the severest
handicaps in his youth, has gone ■
fourth and attracted the plaudits of
the world.
Dr. Truett got his early -training
in a private school near Hayesville.
When but a youth, what is now
Hiawassee College, at Hiawassee,
Ga., was established and young
George Truett was made its first
principal, in which capacity he
achieved unusual success. Ia the
meantime his parents. had moved
to Texas and the son followed at th
end of the year. Just jibout that
time Baylor College, now Baylor
University, was launching a cam¬
paign for an endowment fund of
$100,000 and young Truett was ask¬
ed to steer the drive. A youth but
21 years old, he made a speaking
tour of Texas and raised the money
and having finished this task he en¬
tered the college as [a freshman.
Upon his graduation he was offered
the presidency of his Alma Mater,
but chose rather to accept a call,
whice had just been received, to the
First Baptist Church of Dallas. He
has served this great church con¬
tinuously since that time, some
twenty-five years in all. Under his
ministry the church has had a con¬
tinuous growth and even now its
seating capacity is being doubled to
to take care of the crowds who flock
to hear him.
Dr. Truett expects to bring his
wife and daughter to Murphy with
him, who will view his native sec¬
tion for the first time.
It is expected that during his se¬
ries of services in Murphy, visitors
from as far as Asheville, Atlanta
and Knoxville will come to hear
him. Every reasonable effort is
being made to care for the thous¬
ands that are expected to gather
twice daily from the immediate sec¬
tion, towns and cities in Western
North Carolina, North Georgia and
East Tennessee. A tabernacle with
a seating capacity of 3,000 people
is under way, camping grounds will
be opened to the public, hotels and
private homes are being listed where
visitors may stop. In this way it
is hoped that the crowd can be
handled.
Murphy accounts herself fortun¬
ate indeed in securing this noted
preacher for a series of services.
