FLORIDA SANDS
NEARLY SWAMP
12 ARMY AUTOS
After a tiresome trip that took
three days, 12 army service automo
biles, which have been at Camp Jos
eph E. Johnston, Jacksonvlle, reached
Amerlcus Tuesday afternoon. Two of
them remained here and the others
.went on bound, In pairs, for various
army camps In the South and Middle
Test. Two of them were billed to
remain at Camp Wheeler and two at
Camp Gordon.
One of the cars which Btopped here
was driven by Arthur J. Kelley. K. of
C. secretary at this placet who was
accompanied by F. R. Cameron, clerk
in the water superintendent’s office,
and the other by M. A Sheridan, a K.
of C. secretary who has been sta
tioned at Camp Johnston, but who has
been transferred to Amerlcus and now
will be associated with Secretary Kel
ley in the soldiers' work here.
"Such a trip you never saw,” said
Mr. Cameron. "The road from Jack
sonville to Lakeland, Fla., which was
over the National Highway, was awful.
The sand was so soft and deep that
the heavy cars could hardly travel at
all. It took a day and a half to make
that part of the trip, which was only
62 1-2 miles. We were told before we
left Jacksonville to buy a few picks
and shovels, which we did—and we
surely did need them. Every little
while we had to stop and dig some
body's car out of the sand. The road
way Is too narrow for cars to pass in
many places, and often we would have
to make a ditch at the side of the road
for the wheels to roll into to let cars
coming in the opposite direction pass,
"The road from Lakeland to Thom
as vllle is slightly better and we made
better time, but from Thomasville to
Amerlcus, a distance of 96.6 miles,
were hit at a good clip, reaching here
In three and one-fourth hours. Includ
ing a short stop for lunch at Albany.
The roads from Amerlcus to Albany
are good and the running easy.”
Three of the cars stopped over
Souther Field last night.

has tentatively perfected" arrange
ments to lease the convict gang of
Kalb county and put them to work
on Fulton county roads, while DeKalb

tain camps as their labor was worth 1
Hence the DeKalb authorities decided

out their road buiUdng to contractors.
They submitted a proposition to the
Fulton authorities that was accepted,
and the switch will be made In the
next few days,
Fulton county Is to pay $15 per
month per man for the convicts, and
Is to house, feed and clothe them.

Raid of Pullmans
Uncovers Much Rye
ATLANTA. Feb. 12.—Importing II
quor into Atlanta on dining cars and
in the linen lockers of Pullman sleep
ers Is getting to be a dangerous and
hazardous business, as the federal and
state and city officers are close In be
hind the Pullman porters and dining
car Hankies.
When a train from Cincinnati roll
ed intcMhe union station Saturday a
squad of city detectives and federal
officers presented the conductor with
a set of search warrants and proceed
ed to go through the car from stem to
stem, with the result that several
dozen pints of bottled Is bond rye
whisky, bearing the label of various
Clnclnantt concerns, were found In
the lockers and pantries and ice boxes.
Blind tiger whisky In Atlanta has
now narrowed down to two distinct
types:
1. Tbs mountain dew liquor brought
into the city by moonshiners from the
Blue Ridge, who run the blockade
with cleverly constructed automobile
gas tanks.
2. Cheap rye liquor from Cincin
nati, brought Into the city by the
dining and Pullman car route.

3* MORE GEORGIA WOMEN
INTO OVERSEAS SERVICE
NEW YORK, Feb. 12.—Y. M. C. A.
leave area In France Is to be aug
mented instead of lessened as many
supposed because the fighting Is over.
This Increase in service Is to be made
by sending one hundred American club
women overseas; two-or three from
every state in the union.
Two women from Rome, Ga., Miss L.
G. Johnson and Miss Mary Fahy; as
well as Miss Nell Dimon. of Columbus,
will represent this state In this part
of the Red Triangle service overseas.
“Isn't there a woman here from my
state?” is the Invariable question from
the soldier when he finds Y. M. C. A.
women in the leave areas. His dis
appointment Is bound to be profound
if he doesn't find one, whether he
from'Oklahoma or Maine. So the Y.
M. C. A., through the war victory com
mittee of the General Federation of
Women’s clubs. Is going to give him
the pleasure of talking > with a woman
from his own state.
Now that the strain of fighting fa
over. It is a harder job than ever to
amuse the men. Leave areas are more
appreciated than when the heat
war was on.' Each woman sent over
seas In the contingent of one hundred
is picked to represent her state for
those men'still overseas. There are
society women, business women and
college women, all markedly public
spirited.

ATLANTA, Feb. 12.—The state meat
made by the chairman of the
committee of Atlanta’s city corned
that Atlanta school teachers are paid
proportionately better salaries than
the teachers ot any other city approxi
mately Atlanta’s size, has aroused the
teachers to a high pitch ot tnsi^, r
tlon. „ , .
They have prepared statistics show^
lng comparative salaries paid teachers
of Atlanta, Cincinnati, New Orleans,
Richmond, Dayton, Memphis and other
cities, and these figures seem to dis
prove altogether the assertion
by the chairman ‘of the city conned
finance committee. Attention Is can
ed to the fact that the city ot Augusta
last year gave its teachers a straight
Increase of 25 per cent., while other
cities have undertake^ to keep abreast
ot the high cost of living by raising
the pay of their teachers.
