Continued from First Pane. 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. High Grade A Blood Purifier. Go to New Lyons Pharmacy and buy a bottle of B. B. B.
