SPEEDWAY Course Suggested for Straight-Away Track 70 Feet Wide. An automobile speedway six miles long and seventy feet wide will in all probability be one of the attractions that Savannah will have to offer to tourists next season. The plans were presented to the Chamber of Commerce directors yes terday afternoon by Mr. Roy C. Fos tef, and were enthusiastically received. The matter of carrying the plan through will be taken up immediately by a committee consisting of Messrs. Rpy C. Foster, Frank C. Battey, A. B. Moore, George J. Baldwin, George W. Tledeman, W. W. Osborne, W. D. Krenson, William Kehoe, R. L. Colding and R. A. Blanford. Not only was the project favorably received at the meeting, but it had al ready awakened such widespread in terest among all classes of business men that Mr. Foster was able to read to the meeting a number of letters from bankers, naval stores and cotton men, real estate men, and all classes of merchants, who gave the plan their heartiest Indorsement, and pointed out the many advantages that it would be to Savannah. Suggestions for the Siifedwsy. Mr. Foster, in bringing the matter before the directors of the Chamber of Commerce, said: "Since the races at Ormond, in February, considerable dissatisfaction has been manifested on account of that place being so far from Northern cities, and on account of the many unsatisfactory features of a beach speedway. "It has been from looking into some of the features of the races at that point, and the crowds of people that have attended them, that has suggest ed the idea to my mind that if the people of Savannah and of Chatham county will take hold of and Indorse the building of a speedway for Savan nah, it will be the best means of ad vertising this city to the people of the North, and of securing their pat ronage for Savannah. "I think this a most opportune time for the county and city to take up such a matter, for the reason that a few years ago bicycle riding and rac ing was at its hight, and I feel that we are now at the beginning of a flood tide in automobile riding and rac ing which will be several years in reaching Its hight. Therefore, If Sa vannah is properly equipped with a speedway it will mean that this city will receive free advertising from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Gulf of Mexico to the Great Lakes.” Savnnnah's Advnnlnges. As showing the advantages Savan nah possesses for Buch a speedway Mr. Foster said there is not such a speedway south of the Northern cities and that there is no place In the South so advantageously situated for such a course as is Savannah. After pointing out the excellent results that had fol lowed the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce In seeking tourist rates for Savannah Mr. Foster said: “As several years ago everyone was carried away with bicycling, so now everyone who can afford it owns an automobile, and those who cannot afford to own one at present, are looking forward to the time when the price of the machines The Standard of Uniform Excellence CAN BE FOUND ONLY IN THE GREAT SPANAFLORA 5-CENT CIGAR.

This country Ik only beginning to see the automobile used as a means of pleas ure. "After the long and tiresome winter that has Just closed In the North I predict that two or three times as many tourists will visit the South next winter as did this winter. Sa vannah, therefore, in order to enjoy its portion of this Increased travel must be in position to offer such ad vantages as will capture the people and hold them. AutoinoliillKts Spend Money. “Those who are now automobillsts are persons of large means, who, as has been shown by the Florida resorts, bring their friends and families with them on their trips, and spend several weeks at attractive resorts where they spend many thousands of dollars. By having this speedway Savannah would become the subject of conversation of every automobilist In the North. It would be given special prominence in the new railroad guides. It would re ceive chief mention In all the automo bile Journals during the winter months and, at the time of the races, it would be mentioned in all the newspapers of the country. I say, therefore, that from proper expenditure to build such a speedway more and better results could be obtained than by the most careful and painstaking system of ad vertising that might be gotten up by this Chamber of Commerce at an Im mense cost. Great Local Interest. ‘‘For over a week I have been can vassing the matter of a speedway among the business men and other residents of the city, and not once did I secure a dissenting opinion from the view that to build one would be one of ’.the best things Savannah could do. “Yesterday afternoon In company with one of your directors, Mr. Bat tey, I followed as near as possible the route which, to my own mind, seems the most available, and which seems to me to be the one that could be no.de into a speedway at the earlist date and the least expense. This route be gins at the Waters road, about an eighth of a mile west of the street car line, joins the Meridian Road, at Smith & Kelly’s place, find follows that thoroughfare to the Montgomery crossroads then makes an easy curve until it parellels the railway of which it is within half a mile the entire dis tance to Montgomery. Would Cost About gTS.OOO. "I propose that the speedway be constructed seventy feet wide, with a bicycle path five feet wide on each side and a roadway fifteen feet wide. It appears to me that the most ad visable means for raising funds for this enterprise would be to have the County Commissioners issue bonds for the road; and I would suggest to the president that the committee be em powered to consult freely with the County Commissioners and secure the exact cost of the proposed speedway. Roughly speaking, I believe that all the expenses of roadway, grading, etc., would not exceed *75,000, as I think the owners of the property through which this speedway would pass would glad ly contribute a hundred feet of land free of charge, inasmuch as their other property would be greatly enhanced in value. “I have consulted the officials of both the Ocean Steamship Company and the Merchants’ and Miners’ Trans portation Company, all of whom as sure me that everything that can be done will be done to insure low rates and good accommodations for automo bilists. Savannah offers great induce ments as to low freight rates on au tomobiles. For example, the rate from New York to Ormond via the Clyde Line to Jacksonville and the Florida East Coast Railroad, the remainder of the way is *3.81 for a machine set up. To Savannah the rate Is less than one half, being *1.65, while a rate of *l.lO can Ik- obtained if the machine is knocked down. The rate vis rail from New York, Philadelphia or Baltimore is *2 16 set up and *1.64 set down. Auto linkers Might Help, At the conclusion of Mr. Foster's presentation of the subject Mr. Batter said he would tike to see the matter taken up by the Chamber of Commerce iti a buslnesa like way and the plan <tried through to a successful con summation. Mr. Baldwin thought that in addition to making efforts to secure ihe money for building a speedway from local sources that many of the Urge automobile factories could be In duced to contribute to the cause, pur ti'Ulaily as they would. In s large ineusiiie, reap Pare nts from It, It was | t* l 'Wi to allow the committee ap pointed to consider the rustler to take such action as Its members might see m Mr. Battery ip e letter to Mr. Foster giving *ontr of hie reasons for weniuig . s speedway st this rMy. ssys “| sir iirsniy >f tin opurrosi the* toil blog egg be dartw thru wlit do mors good to the SAVANNAH MOHMMi NEWS*: WEDNESDAY. MARCH 30. 1904. way of bringing winter tourists to our city and advertising it in general. There seems to be a determined effort on the part of the people of the North to get a speedway where periodical races can be held at some point In the South that Is more convenient to them that Ormond Beach, in fact, at a recent date a large delegation went from New York to Virginia Beach to inspect that place as a possible site. It proved to be unfit for the purpose. "I am convinced that the level lands adjacent to Savannah, and the magnifi cent material used on our roads, puts Chatham county in position to build the finest speedway in the country. As to its convenience. I believe, sav ing the trifling Increased cost of trav eling. Savannah Is the most convenient place on the Atlantic seaboard as rac ers and tourists can put their machines aboard ship at New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore and, im mediately on landing here, can go to any place they choose under their own power. I understand the rates for such transportation are very reason able, and so far below the cost to Ormond as to be some Inducement even to rich people. ‘‘With such a speedway the advertis ing we would get in the papers throughout the entire United States would be something enormous, and would bring many wealthy visitors to the city, who, after seeing our mag nificent roads and enjoying our de lightful winter climate, would become anxious to establish winter homes here, which would mean that a large amount of money would be spent, being put into general circulation and becoming of benefit either directly or indirectly to everybody here. “It is well known to all that the few Northern people who have enjoyed the advantages as stated have fallen in love with our city, roads and climate and some investments have already been made by them. When once such people come, they are sure to come again.” Itainey Favor* Proposed Route. Mr. R. A. Rainey, probably the best known automobilist now in Savannah, wrote Mr. Foster that in his opinion there are many reasons for using the Meridian road for a speedway such as is proposed, the first being that little or no grading will be necessary, the second that the rights of way are eas ily' available; third, that the course would be almost straight; and fourth, and most important, the tvork could be commenced much sooner than ten or twenty other locations should be argued. Mr. Rainey says further; “The importance of going at this immediately should not be overlooked. The automobile industry will be one of the greatest in this country within the next four years, as it has become in France, the only difference being that the automobile in that country was the result of the roads, while in this coun try the roads will be the result of the automobiles. "Savannah with her advantages in the shape of level country, wonderful material for road building and the present convict system, should not al low' other cities to lead in this matter. A eix-mlle straight-away, such as the proposed track would be, I believe, would bring every owner of a fast ma chine to Savannah for sometime, at least, every winter. I offer the hearty co-operation of myself and my brother to this scheme." Mr. T. A. Bryson said: “Our good roads at present speak lor themselves but I can see that having a speedway would bring -more of the wealthy peo ple who delight In automobile racing. Once attract these people to Savannih and I believe it will lie the means of getting them interested in our city, in its stores, hotels, etc. It will also be the means of encouraging the auto mobile business among the various dealers. I most thoroughly endorse the plan, and hope that speedy action can be taken so as to get it under way In order to attract the automo bilists for the next season.” A llig Thing for Savannah. Mr. Mills B. Lane, president of the Citizens Bank, said: "I think It would he a great thing for Savannah and Chatham county to have such a speed way, and from my knowledge of the county I don’t think you could get a more desirable route than the one you have suggested.” Mr. W. V. Davis said: “In my opin ion the construction of a speedway will be of incalculable benefit to Savannah and Chatham county. Aside from the great amount of pleasure which I think the citizens of Savannah would derive from such a course I believe that it would attract numbers of vis itors here, particularly during the tourist season. Youmans & Demmond said: “We indorse heartily the movement on foot to build a speedway. We believe it would result in much benefit to the city, and adjoining property. Our good roads have already attracted a class of wealthy people to the city some of whom have invested in property. One of these visitors has contracted for a $9,000 building and when this is com pleted he will have spent over $20,000 In Savannah. It seems to us this is the best argument we can make In fa vor of a speedway. An excellent Indorsement of the plan came from Mr. B. H. Levy, who said: ”1 believe it will be one of the greatest things that ever happened to Savan nah. This cltv is rapidly becoming widely known throughout the East and West as a tourist point; I believe the tourist travel this season has been one of the largest in our history. I hnve talked with several persons who visit ed our city last winter and they had nothing but good words for the beauty of the place, the good roads coming in for their share of the praise. Would Bring Tourists. "I believe we can make Savannah one of the largest and most popular tourist points in the South, and noth ing could do more to this end than the building of a speedway.

Hundreds of patients were frightened and hurried into hos pitals, operated upon and robbed of their last dollar, when the trouble was a simple case of hemorrhoids or pile* only, easily cured at home with a simple remedy costing but fifty cents a box. "I procured one fifty cent box of Pyramid Pile Cure of my druggist, with the intention of buying a larger box later, hut was happily surprised when I found thHt I was cured, and still have six 'pyramids’ left out of (he first and only box. 1 have not had the least sign of piles since I used this one box, which has been about two months; previous to using Pyramid Pile Cure I bad the worst kind of bleeding and protruding piles for over thirty-one years, and no one know*, exeepi those who have had the piles, the pain and misery I suffeied. ■J am a poor man, but have often said I would give u fortune.

We have the climate and we have the most beautiful city of the South, and now any move that will be inaugurated to add to their pleasure will also add to the popularity of the city. “It is a well known fact among all merchants that a very large amount of money is left with merchants when there is any large tourist travel. They have the money, they spend it. I think we should get together In this matter and see if we cannot build the speed way. It will. In end, mean a greater Savannah for everybody." Mr. C. H. Dorsett Indorsed the plan particularly in that it included a ter minal at a salt water resort. Indorse ments wore received also from Mr. Sig Gardner and Mr. Leigh M. White.

Atlanta, March 29.—The Georgia School of Technology may be moved from its present Bite on North avenue to the grounds on which the Cotton States and International Exposition was held in 1896.

This would give the school a tract of 200 acres and several good buildings. It is very much crowded at present. RED! CEO MOULDING!! RATES, Action Taken at n Meeting Held In Colon* lila. Columbia, 8.
