IN JUSTJJNDER A DAY
Covers Route From Atlanta to
Jacksonville in 23 Hours
55 Minutes.
A new automobile record between At
lanta and Jacksonville was made Sat
urday when M. L. Wise drove his Max
well ear to the Florida city In 23 hours
and 55 minutes.
Mr. Wise made thfe trip with two
passengers and drove the car himself.
Thi* record-breaking trip was the re
sult of considerable discussion as to
the time required to make the 400 miles
between the two cities. The opinions
ns to the time required varied from 24
hours to several days and Mr. Wise de.
termlned to mako the trip and break
the record.
The party left the Maxwell garage,
832 Peachtree-st.,- Saturday morning at
4 o’clock. The national highway to
Macon, Tlfton. Valdosta, Lake City and
Jacksonville was used. That tho record
would be broken was Indicated shortly
after noon. Saturday, when a telegram
wns received stating that the car had
reached Tlfton at noon.
The Maxwell which made this re-
f markable trip was a Model E, of the
1919 product, and had been driven 17,000
miles. So trouble whatever was ex
perienced with the car and the Ajax
tif' 1 * with which the car la equipped
contained Atlanta air when Jackson
ville was reached. The car has a 50-
«nch tread and automobile enthusiasts
•av that better time could have been
wade if a 00-Inch tread had been used.
PEOPLE SHOULDN’T ELECT
SCHOOL COMMISSIONERS
Urging that the legislature abolish
the papular election of county tchool
commissioner* and they be appointed
by county boards of education, M. L.
Brittain, state school commissioner, ha*
made up hie report for 1909 and 1910 to
the governor, and It will be out of the
hands of the printer In several days.
The rommlseloner also urges that the
name of the county school commission
er* be changed to superintendents. He
advocates the unit system and compul
sory education, altho he states that he
does not believe a stringent compul
sory education law would work well. He
stated to,a reporter from The Geor
gian that the measure defeated by the
last legislature was the form of com
pulsory education that ho wished to see
enacted Into* the Georgia law.
Among othv recommendations,
asks that provision bs mads whereby
teachers may be paid monthly.
