brightened Interior. And here was '
the opportunity to get what was need
ed without drawing on the treasury. |
“Did you see the offer in The Sun - i
day American and The Georgian?”
was the question everywhere. “Well, I
why can’t our church go after that |
$1,000? Or, if we only get second j

enough for fitting up the pastor’s;
study or his parlor. Let’s go in and 1

Hurled
Store, Explosiv: Sunday American Tour to Blaze
Starts Fire Which Destroys
Business Section.
CASTLEBERRY. ALA., Aug. 11.—A
bomb thrown into the Skinner Hard
ware Company building here last
night demolished that store, and fire
which followed destroyed the entire
block in which the Skinner store was
located. The loss is $50,000, par
tially covered by insurance.
Early to-day the Sheriff from
Greenville and a posse nof regular and
j special deputies arrested a negro,
(charging him with being the man
i who placed the bomb in the Skinner
| building. While the officers Haim <o
• have strong evidence against the
; black man. they have not stated what
it is. The feeling against the ac
cused is running high, and it is re
ported that the negro has been spir
ited away by two deputies to prevent
any possibility of a lynching.
The buildings destroyed-are as fol
lows: Skinner Hardware Company,
loss $0,000. insurance $3,000; Meaeh-
am K Kirkland drug store, loss $3,000,
Insurance, $1,500; S. E. Berham
clothing store, loss $3,500. insurance
$1,000; People’s Rank, all fixtures
lost, but vault and valuables saved;
House & Balliard barber shop, loss
about $500
Mr. Skinner owned all of the build
ings destroyed. The offices of the
Mayor and a number of the city offi
cials were in the bank building, ^hey
lost their office fixtures.
Practically all of the residents were
attending church when the. explosion
occurred, and turned out in a body ro
fi^ht the fire, their efforts confining
the blaze to the one block. There is
no regular fire department in the
town.
No reason can be assigned for the
motive of the person or persons in
throwing the bomb into the store, un
less it was due to some grudge against
some of the occupants.

Name of Girl Whose Likeness Will
Adorn Booster Badge To Be
Announced Wednesday.
Atlanta’s prettiest girl at last is to
be named. The intense rivalry that
has stirred Atlanta for the past sev
eral weeks soon is to be calmed. The
Booster Button Beauty Contest closes
Tuesday, and Wednesday the winner
will be announced.
Of course, rivalry will continue
among beautiful women, but seldom
has it reached the high degree of this
contest For days and days it wa»
uncertain who would win. Many votes
would put one girl ahead one da>
and the next day another would stand
at the top. But the votes for one
young girl were more constant than
the others, nrd unless a miracle hap
pens. she will have a good lead when
the contest closes Tuesday, and be the
one announced Wednesday.
The close of this contest will mark
the beginning of the actual organiza
tion of the "500,000 club” that is zo
boost Atlanta’s population to 500,000
by 1020. Her picture, without her
name, will adorn the lapel buttons jf
this organization, with this slogan:
"Watch Atlanta—She’ll get you yet.
500,000 by 1920.”
One of the last pretty nominees is
M*iss Ruth Poole, of No. 381 Jackson
street. With her parents, she recent-
ly moved to Atlanta from Covington.
Miss Poole is well known socially over
the State.

Plans for the great automobile tour
which Hearst’s Sunday American will
inaugurate to find a new All-South
ern, open-all-the-year-round route
from Atlanta to the Pacific Coast,
virtually have been completed, and
the tour will start on Monday, Au
gust 18, under conditions that prac
tically assure the success . of the
movement.
The proposed route, which will be
thoroughly mapped and charted by
the pathfinding expedition, will ex
tend from Atlanta through Birming
ham, Montgomery, New Orleans,,
Houston, Dallas. Fort Worth, Tucson,
Phoenix and Yuma*, and will then
connect with the State roads of Cal
ifornia for San Diego. Los Angeles
and San Francisco.
The pathfinder will be E. L. Fer
guson. one of the most widely known
automobile drivers and tourists in
America. He has been in Atlanta
for several days, making preliminary
preparations for the tour, and is
much pleased with the response that
greeted the publication of the details
of the movement in yesterday's Am
erican.
Southern automobilists, w'ho here
tofore have been barred from touring
across the continent via a Southern,
open-all-the-year-round route be
cause no such route has ever been
explored and mapped, have greeted
the movement with enthusiasm and
many offers of assistance.
Big Send-Off Is Planned.
Some idea of the sentiment that
exists among Atlanta motorists can
be gained from the plans that are
being made to godspeed Mr. Fer
guson when he starts on his journey.
When h<* leaves Atlanta next Mon
day in the big touring car that has
traveled most of the roads of the
country, he will be escorted out of
the city by many local automobilists
and motorcyclists who realize what
the proposed tourists route would do
for the South, and who are indorsing

It is Mr. Ferguson's intention, dur
ing the path-finding expedition, *o
put forth every effort to interest the
farmers and the citizens of the cities

roads is all that has prevented the

it is the purpose of the newspapers

as to make the proposed Southern
