to-date city with many beautiful
residences and handsome store*
well filled with goods, splendid
hotels, targe factories, shops and
good churches, it is in Waycros*
that the Bunn Bell Institute is lo
cated to which Prof. M. O. Car
penter goes from the Union Bap
tisl, Institute as Principal in the
fall.
Tlir. Ware county people are
forking on a splendid clay road
from Waycross toward Jackson
ville. When completed it will be
equal to our own Toombs county
roads, of which we are So proud.
We found the BaXley and Way
cross people very enthusiastic over
the good roads proposition. Just
after passing the old convict- camp
about three miles from Race Pond
we found ourselves oft the official
route, having taken a plain right
right hand road leading into the
Okefenokee Swamp Thinking we
were on the Automobile route and
feeling confident that the Cadillac
could plough streams where other
cars had succeeded, Mr Smith ran
her into a dark stream just wide
enough to admit the car, scatter
ing fish and throwing them right
and left and running over and kill
ing an alligator about feet long
when about fifty feet from the
entrance the machine stood still.
We could not see the other end
of the water. While Mr. Odom
walked a mile back to where he
had seen a team of oxen pulling a
turpentine wagon to ask for as
sistance, Mr. Smith waded the
swamp and anxiously peered in
every direction for something that
looked like a mule, while Mrs.
Loving and I sat in the car and
were entertained by the singing of
mosquitoes, the affectionate sand
flies and gnats and the Bporting
fish. I have never been so close to
so many fish before in all my life.
It seemed to me that they were us
thick as tadpoles. I saw large fish
lying on the sand thrown there
by the car and floundering to get
back' into the water, The trout
were jumping up all around us
and I could imagine they were
saying, howdy do! What are you
doing here? and as we continued
to stay they might get saucy, see
ing we had nothing with which to
harm them, and said, “There’s no
use hanging around, why dont. you
move on? Hew long do you intend
to stay with us?” But all things
come to those who wait. A man
with two mules and a wagon
came along after we had been
there nearly two hours and as we
were an impediment to his prog
ress he consented for the pitiful
sum of $5 to hitch his mules to
the car and pull us out backward
which feat was accomplished just
before Mr. Odom came back with
another team. In about twenty
minutes from the time the mules
were hitched to the car, we were
speeding over the official route to
Folkston.
We were told that tourists gen
erally make the same mistake and
that particular place was becom
nung a source of revenue for Ba
lim’s master. I longed for a board
and some paint that I might pub
lish a warning at this place. As it
was sundown when we bade the
fish good-bye we stopped at. the
first place we could find a hotel,
which was at Homeland, a new
town on the Ga. Southern and
spent the night. We had com
fortable quarters and awoke Wed
nesday morning feeling greatly re
freshed and after having some
good coffee were speeding towards
Folkston two miles beyond at
5:30.
The roads were moderately good
the air cool and bracing and as
Mr.'Smith expressed it, the Cad
illac “talking.” We found Foiks
ton situated in a heavy sandbed
but sand was no impediment to
the Cadillac, so we pulled through
it without- difficulty and reached
King’s Ferry over the St. Mary’s
river about Ba. m. As we came
in sight of the Ferry Mr. Odom
spied a negro pulling a fine lot of
channel cat out of a trap and im
mediately’ his mouth began to
water and ho to plead that we stop
long enough to get the ferryman's
wife to cook some of them for i.
which Mr. Smith very reluctantly
consented to do. The woman
knew just how to fry the fish and
just how to bake the corn bread to
go with them. I don’t think four
people ever ate so many fish in so
short a time nor enjoyed them
more than did we. We unani
mously consented that we would
1 new " forget that breakfast- that
we ale jo the Cadillac under that |
big ouk on the bank of beautiful
St. .Vlarv’s river in Florida.
At 9 a m. we found ourselves J
speeding towards Callahan. It j
wus at this little town that we
found the artesian well throwing
up water so strong with sulphur j
and other minerals that the bricks
oyer which it fell were covered
with sulphur and one could smell
the fumes. Mr. Smith thought he
had surely found the fount of
youth stud the spring of life aud
wanted to linger. He asked the
old colored woman who was wash
ing clothes if people ever died
there. When she replied. “Ye 6,
sir, one woman died here last
night,” he moved on. From Calla
han to beautiful Trout creek we
found a very good, firm road. We
crossed the creek over a splendid
bridge and from there, a distance
of 7 miles we traveled over a
magnificient shell road into Jack
sonville. We arrived in Jackson
ville Wednesday m time for Din
ner. We spent two days delight
fully m Jacksonville attending
the Convention and sight-seeing.
Wish would permit me tell
ing you of some of the good
things we learned atthe Conven
tion and especially of our visit to
the Ostrich Farm and up the St.
John’s river to the summer home
of the author of “Uncle Tom’s
Cabin” We werecharmed with
Jacksonville and it was with deep
regret that we turned our faces
homeward without having had in
opportunity to see more of it. We
left Jacksonville Saturday morn
ing at 9:15 and arrived at Lyons
Sunday afternoon 1:30 without
having had a puncture ortrouble
of any kind with the Cadillac
from the time we left Lyons to
our return.
We went over the Official Route
from Atlanta t) Jacksonville.. In
good weather a good automobile
can make good time without any
trouble.
In wet weather the trip could
not be accomplished. With a
bridge over the Altamaha and
some work on the roads in App
ling, Ware and Charleton coun
ties in Georgia and Nassau m
Florida, the trip from Lyons to
Jacksonville could be made in a
dav, beginning at day’light in the
su m tuer.
We found nc roads superior to
the Toombs county roads ex
cept the 7 miles of road from
Trout creek to Jacksonvi’le and
no soil we would be willing to ex
change our Toombs county soil
for. We found the people on our
route always ready to accommo
date us and some very clever in
deed . Mrs. Fulton Smith.
