Atlanta, Ga.-——APpointment of Mil
ton L. Fleetwood, of Cartersville, as
state press chairman for the Georgia
Building and Loan League’s educa
tional campaign, was announced here
by J. W. Vaughan, of Cartersville,

campaign to reach a climax during
“Georgia Building and Loan Week,”
December 13 to 18th.
Mr. Fleetwood, publisher of one of
the most successful weekly papers in
the state, was a member of the Geor

against press agents and free public
ity seekers. Following acceptance of
the chairmanship, Mr. Fleetwood
wrote to all members of the press
association explaining his position in
the movement, in view of the stand
previously taken.
“The proposition has so much of
the practical as well as civic value
for our state and to the newspapers
of the state,” Mr. Fleetwood said,
“that I am going to do'everything‘
possible to awaken the people to the
opportunities we are overlooking.” ‘
“Gtories telling what these associa-|
tions do mean to 2 community are to}
be sent out. Tie-up advertising ma
terial, for use in cities and towns
which have building and loan associa
tions, will be sent to newspapers in
those towns, without charge. This

in a few days.
“T pelieve you will agree that this
is really a different kind of publicity
than heretofore sent out, and I have
consented to serve in this capacity
solely on that ground.”
Cartersville and Rome 'are two

Fitzgerald Community Band Big Feature of
Entire Celebration—Many Well Known
Persons Participate in Prog;rgm
". Fitzgerald has every reason to be
proud of its wonderful musical ofgan
ization, the Community Band, which
was the feature of the motorcade,
lcelebrating the completion of the pav
ing of the Central Dixie Highway
from Waycross to Jacksonville, an
achievement for which the people of
Ware and Charlton counties are to be
congratulated. .
Through the courtesy of WJAX, the
broadcasting station at JackԤonvile,
it was possible to give the Message
of its completion to the world, and
bring Fitzgerald to the attention of
the millions of people from Maine to
California and the Great Lakes to
Cuba, who were tuned in on WJAX,
through the musical program given
by our band and the solo sang by
our popular Miss Marjorie Owens.
Mayor John T. Alsop, of Jackson
ville, broadcasted a warm welcome
to the participants of the motorcade
and Hon. W. T. Anderson, director
of the Dixie Highway asociation, for
Georgia, spoke of the road and its
history, whilst Mr. J. E. Turner
broadcasted his response to the wel
come address for the motorcade and
Fitzgerald.
To the car owners and local parti
cipantswho made the entire trip with
the party, Fitzgerald owes its thanks,
as this city received the major bene
fit . from the publicity arising from
this mammoth caravan, successfully
pulled off. Among the local cars
were J. H. Palmer, Harry Vinson,
J. C. Williams, J. M. Williams, S. R.
Frey, J. E. Turner, Ei E. Mann, B.
I. Anderson, David L. Paulk, J. J.

F. M. Flournoy, R. B. Sheppard, B.
M: Evans, Paul Smith, T. L. Young
blood, Bruce Nay, J. P. Manning and
Mrs. Woodham. The younger boys
were taken in the motor bus, under
the supervision of Mr. C. T. Owens,
who looked well after their comfort.
Starting promptly at 8 a. m,, the
caravan reached Ocilla, where four‘
cars joined it under the leadership of
Mr. Russell, secretary of the Cham
ber of Commerce. At Douglas the
caravan was received with enthu
siasm, the A. and M. girl students |
being lined up to welcome the party.]
The Coffee county cars were well
decorated, telling the world of their
wonderful possibilities and were ac
companied by Mayor John R. Slater
and other men of prominence and
large affairs. Hon. J. C. Brewer
took charge of the motorcade here
and conducted it to its destination.
At Nichols, the entire school pop
ulation lined up on both sides of the
route and cheered the visitors as they
entered and passed thru their town.
Several cars joined here, with A. J.
Meeks, the resident county commis
sioner, leading.
Reaching Wayecross, the party was
met at Waresboro by a squadron of
motoreycle officers and leading citi
zens, among them Judge Harry D.
Reed, Hon. H. D. Bunn, director of
the Central Dixie highway, Russell
King and others who led the party to
the city, where more than two thous
and high school pupils greeted thel
visitors under the leadership of thel
City Superintendent, Prof. A. G. Mil-l

BY HARLEE BRANCH
Staff Correspondent The Atlanta
Journal
Many motorcades, from different
points, have rolled into Jacksonville
since that memorable motorcade in
1911, which was sponsored by the At
lanta Journal and the New York Her
ald, and which was known as the Glid
den tour of that year, but not since
that historic occasion has so much in
terest been manifested in a similar
undertaking as was occasioned by the
Central Dixie Highway motorcade
which arrived late Monday afternoon
and paraded through the principal
streets of the city of Jacksonville.
This motorcade, which formed at
Fitzgerald, Ga., and left that thriving
city at 8 o’clock Monday morning,
picked up automobiles at every city
and town through which it passed
until when it reached Jacksonville its
original thirty-seven cars had grown

In these cars travelled five hundr&

‘noteworthy for what it was-d si%:;
to do, and that was to celeb‘i%te :

a distance of 82 miles of; about

~ Inspired b;;Jofii'nal-Hérfid Toiuir -
It is 'an interesting fact that The
Journal-Herald tour of 1911 was the
inspiration for both the Central Dixie
highway and for the motorcade of
Monday. Isidor Gelders, editor of
the Fitzgerald Leader-Enterprise, who
with his paper sponsored both the
highway and“the motorcade, said to
day that it was the Journal-Herald
tour which gave him his idea of a real
highway from Macon to Jacksonville
through what was then practically
impassable sand beds and swamps.
“I made my first scouting trip in
1912,” said Mr. Gelders. “The Jour
nal-Herald tour had been run over
the National highway, which was
the conception of Major John S. Co
hen, editor of the Journal, and which
had been scouted out and connected
up by The Journal and the Herald
during the years of 1908, 1909 and
1910. This was the first move to
ward a real interstate highway to be
made in the eastern part of the Unit
ed States, and it was Major Cohen’s
vision which away ba¢k in those days,
nearly twenty years ago, foresaw the
important part the automobile travel
was destined to play in the affairs
of this country. Thus The Journal
was the pioneer good roads advocate
of this section of the country, and it
has consistently boosted good roads
ever since.
“When I made my first scouting‘
trip from Fitzgerald to Jacksonville
in 1912 over what is now one of the
best and most easily travelled high
ways in the south, it required 32
hours to make the trip and both me
in when we arrived here. Monday
and the automobile were about all
}we made the same trip in about six
hours, and we did not hurry at all
Besides, every minute of the journey,
as well as every foot of the distance,
'was without inconvenience and was
altogether enjoyable.”
’ More Paving Planned
. That section of the road from
Fitzgerald to Waycross is in the main
of sand and gravel, and Mr. Gelders
says both it and the section between
Fitzgerald and Macon will be paved
within the next two or three years.
The Central Dixie highway, which
connects with the National Dixie
highway at Macon, is 256 miles in
length, Macon being one terminus and
Jacksonville the other. It is con
tended by its boosters that this high
way is forty miles shorter than any
other route from Macon to Jackson
ville.
Along practically the entire route
crowds gathered Monday to witness
the epoch-making motorcade and
to wave greetings to the tourists and
in a majority of the cities and towns
the schools took a recess so that the
school children might greet the tour
ists.
Welcoming delegations from Way
cross and Folkston met the motor
cade several miles north of these
cities. The tourists spent a half
hour at Waycross and an hour and a
half at Folkston, where the board of
trade and the woman’s club served a
delightful luncheon to the members
of the motorcade. Here, too, several
short speeches were delivered, all
touching upon the significance of
the occasion. These were delivered
by Thomas Wrench and L. E. Mal
lard, of Flokston; Isidor Gelders, of
Fitzgerald; Judge Harry D. Reed, of
Wayecross; Frank T. Reynolds, of At
lanta; W. T. Anderson, of Macon;
Mayor John T. Alsop, of Jacksonville,
and F. O. Miller of the same city.
A brief stop was made at the St.
Mary’s river, which is the dividing
line between Georgia and Florida,
and where the two states are arrang
ing to conmstruct a modern concrete
pridge, instead of the present old
wooden bridge, which is a toll bridge.
‘The new bridge, which it si said will
ibe built next year, will be a free
bridge.

CHARTER ISSUED T 0
A. B. & C. ROAD BY
STATE SECRETARY
Will Eventually Revert
To Atlantic Coast
Line is Thought
Another step in the re-organization‘
of the financial affairs of the A. B.
& A., was taken 93 the 22nd, when
Secretary of State™ S. G. McLendon
issued a charter to the Atlanta, Bir
,mingham & Coast Railroad, the cor
poration formed to take over the as
sets of the defunct A. B. & A., of
}which Col. B. L. Bugg is the receiv
er. /
Another step will be the application
of the new corporation to lease the
acquired road to the Atlantic Coast
Line, which will have to be passed
by the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion, which however, is said to be
assured of recognition. |
- Application for the charter was
made by George E .Roosevelt and J.
A. Fowler, of New York, and E. R.
Everett, B. L. Bell and A. V. Gil-
Bert, of Atlanta. The application set
forth that these men represent the
group which purchased the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic holdings at
public sale in Atlanta last June. Deeds
and title having been conveyed on
Nov. 16th, when the new owners were
ready to begin operations, it stated.
The new company’s capitalization,
as provided by the charter, consists
of 52,000 shares of preferred capital
stock, each share valued at $lOO, and
150,000 shares of common stock of
no par value.
Under the plan of the new organi
zation the new company will lease
the A. B. & C. Railroad to the A. C.
L. under an agreement reached prior
to the securing of the charter by the
new company, and prior to the re
cent purchase of the new company.
At a recent hearing of the petition
before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission the petition was granted to
the new company to take over the
property but they were instructed to
return with another petition to lease
to the A. C. L., after the organiza
tion of the new company had been‘
perfected. |
Thousands heafd Fitzgerald’s Band
on their visit to the Florida metrop
olis and showed their appreciation by
frequent cheering in the park and at
the State Exposition. The fifty-two
members made a fine impression and
are by far due the larger part of the
credit for the success of the motor
cade.
An outstanding feature of the trip
was the exemplary conduct of each
and every member of the band and
the promptness with which they re
sponded to their leader, Prof. R. G.
Johnson. |
For the people at home, it was a
treat to listen in on their radios and
we are told by representatives of
Bradshaw and the Southern Radio}
Co., beth of whom had loud speakers
tuned in for the occasion, that each‘
of the numbers came in fine and was<
enjoyed by large numbers who had

Southern farm is frequently not a
profitable crop, due chiefly to low
yields per acre. The experiments of
the South Carolina station as well
as similar tests by the Alabama and
Mississippi experiment stations, how-‘
ever, show that it can be made so. ‘
In Alabama the appplication of 100
pounds of nitrate of soda gave an
increase of 7.5 bushels. per acre, ac
cording to Station Bulletin No. 215.
The Extension Department of the
Mississippi Agricultural College has
pointed out that the use of 100 to 200
pounds of nitrate of sode per acre
increases the yield from 10 to 15
bushels per acre.
Demonstrations conducted in Miss
issippi by county agents in fifty-five
counties on 2693 acres of land show
‘ed an average increase of 18 bushels
per acre. The 954 club boys report
ed on 9760 acres and showed an in
crease of 25 bushels per acre. These
results were due to the use of nitrate
of soda as a fertilizer.
Reports to the United States De
partment of Agriculture back up the
state experiments, indicating that
profitable corn and other feed crops
can be grown in the South, and with
permanent benefits to the farmers..

NEW ST. MARY’'S BRIDGE TO BE
BUILT SOON; BIDS BEEN ASKED
Waycross, Ga.—The construction
of the new bridge across the St.
Mary’s river will be started soon, as‘
the state highway department is ad
vertising for bids. |
The St. Mary’s river is the boun
dary between Georgia and Florida on
the Central Dixie highway. From
\Waycross to Jacksonville and on to
‘Miami this highway is continuously
paved.
The bridge is to be a duplicate of
the memorial bridge across the Sa
tilla river at Waycross, which has
been pronounced by experts the best
constructed bridge in Georgia. This
bridge cost approximately $125,000.
The new bridge across the St.
Mary’s will be 361 feet in length and
entirely of reinforced concrete, not
‘one piece of wood being permitted
in the structure. There will be eight
spans, three of them cantilever spans.
The middle span, or the one just over
the river, will be 75 feet in length.
The bridge will contain 1,490 cubic
yards of concrete and 100,000 pounds
of reinforcement steel. The bridge
will be 31 feet higher than the low
water level.
Construction on the new bridge
'must begin within 15 days after the
lletting of the contract and must be
completed by October 1, 1927. The‘
'entire cost will be paid by Georgia,
Florida having built the one at
Wild’s landing. The present bridge
will be used as the detour bridge
during construction.
