SMmith Says Coast Route Means
Much to South—Senate In
dorses American’s Plan.
The campaign inaugurated by
Hearst’s Sunday American for an all-
Southern highway reaching from At
lanta to San Francisco received an
other boost Thursday when Shelby
Smith, chairman of the Fulton Coun
ty Board of Commissioners, declared
the project to be an epoch in the
progress of the South.
The proposed highway from At
lanta to San Francisco,” said Mr.
Smith, “is splendid and the mos. com
mendable movement for good roads
all over the South that has been
launched in recent years. This road
is unlike other roads, for the. coast-
to-coast route leads somewhere. In
other words, it has a definite point
as its destination.
“Each State, as well as each town
all along the rotate, is bound to be
materially benefited by this monster
highway. We have many railroads in
the United States, but how many
really good roads have we in pro
portion—roads that could be used if
there were no railroads?
Expects Laws on Topic.
“I repeat that this campaign means
big things, not only for Georgia, but
for the entire South and Southwest,
and I do not hesitate to say I am
more pleased than I can tell to know
that Hearst’s Sunday American has
taken up the movement to push it
through to ultimate success.”
Mr Smith said further that he ex
pected to see great development in
the laws, including the creation of a
State highway commission, as a re
sult of just such definite movements
as proposed by Hearst’s American.
Commissioner Smith’s remarks con
cerning the great highway emphasize
the marvelous Interest manifested in
the campaign which will be inaugu
rated by The American next Monday.
Tuesday Governor John M. Slaton
placed his stamp of approval on the
campaign, and Wednesday morning
the Georgia Senate passed unani- |
mously a resolution offered by Sena
tor McNeill, of the Twenty-second
District, indorsing the coast-to-coast
project.
All of these expressions of ap
proval are distinctly pleasing to Of
ficial Trail Blazer Ferguson, accord
ing to his statement Thursday.
“We are going to conduct this cam
paign strictly on a scientific basis.,”
declared Mr. Ferguson, "and intend
to check up the entire trip in de
tail, so that adequate road maps may
be prepared, to be compared later
preparatory to selecting the very best
route from coast to coast.
“I will carry several instruments,
including a thermometer, which I
shall use to make records daily, in
an effort to demonstrate beyond ques
tion that the South and Southwest
offer the ’ ery best facilities for ex
tended motor touring, such as is con
templated on this monster transcon
tinental highway.”
To Make Trip in Easy Stages.
Mr. Ferguson declared the trip
would be made in easy stages, so that
every' detail in connection with the
plan for the highway may be exam
ined en route.
Stops will be made in all the prin
cipal towns and cities en route, and
Information concerning the promotion
of better roads and interstate high
ways given to those interested. The
first official stop between Atlanta and
Birmingham, the first lap of the long
journey, will be made at Anniston,'
Ala.
The official start will be made Mon
day. following a monster parade of
automobiles and motorcycles, includ
ing the private car of the Chief of
Police, the Fire Chief and various citj r
officials. Plans for this parade were
completed Thursday.
Scalp Covered with Dandruff.
Scratching Caused Breaking Out.
So Irritated Could Not Rest. Cu-
ticura Soap and Ointment Cured.
Rout# No. 3, Box 20A, Broken Arrow,
Okla. — " My trouble began with an itching
of the scalp of my head. My scalp at first
became covered with flakes of dandruff
which caused me to scratch and this caused
a breaking out here and there on the scalp.
It became so irritated until I could not rest
at night and my hair would come out in
bunches and became short and rough.
“Everything I used would cause it to
grow worse and it continued that way for
about three or four years. While reading
the paper I saw the advertisement of Outl-
cura Soap and Ointment and sent for a
sample. It proved so good that I derided
to get some more. I used them as directed
and in two weeks I saw a good effect. Now
my hair is longer and looks better than I
have ever known it to be. I give all the
credit of my cure of scalp trouble to the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment.” (Signed)
Mrs. Ella Sheffield. Nov. 30. 1912.
For pimples and blackheads the following
is a most effective and economical treatment:
Gently smear the affected parts with Cuticura
Ointment , on theend of the finger, but do not
rub. Wash off the Cuticura Ointment in five
minutes with Cuticura Soap and hot water
and continue bathing for some minutes. This
treatment is best on rising and retiring. At
*ther times use Cuticura Soap freely for the
toilet and bath, to assist in prevent ing inflam
mation. Irritation and clogging of the pores.
Sold everywhere. Liberal sample of each I
mailed free, with 32-p. Skin Book. Address !
post-card “Cuticura. Dept. T. Boston."

ticura Soap will fiad it beet for akia aad »calu.

Declares, Upon Return From Trip
Abroad, That Old World Offers
Promising Field.
An invasion of Europe with Coca-
Cola is being: contemplated by Asa
’ G. Candler, who Thursday returned
to his offices after an extended trip
abroad.
“Europe,” he said, “has taken a
sudden fancy for soft drinks. Ten
years ago I sent a man abroad to
study the field, and his report was
not encouraging, but now things look
so promising that we are considering
seriously—I do not want to say r too
much, because no decision has been
reached—but we are considering a
vigorous campaign abroad.
Europe “Tempting Field.”
“Ice, you know, is not served gen
erally as here. One must ask for it
even in the best hotels. But Eu
rope all at once has found out that
iced drinks are good, and wants them.
It is a very tempting field.”
“I am Just as cheerful as I* was
when I left here.” said Mr. Candler,
when reminded of his optimistic in
terview in Hearst’s Sunday Ameri
can on the eve of his departure, in
which he remarked that he saw noth
ing but prosperity ahead for Atlanta.
Mr. Candler reasserted that he sees
no cause for changing his opinion.
“Europe is full of American buyers:
f met them everywhere,” he contin
ued. “They are buying extensive
lines, they tell me, and have every
confidence they will sell their goods
at profitable prices.
Tourists Prove Cash Plentiful.
“The flood of American tourists in
Eilrope shows, too, that there can bo
no particular shortage of funds, for
travel in Europe is pay. pay, pay.
“Financial conditions abroad ar?
disturbed because of the talk of a
war which never will happen, and
because of the Balkan war. which
actually has burned up great amounts
of money.
“Europe must look to America is
Israel did to Egypt in Bible days for
corn.
Impressed by Immigrants.
“I was' impressed mosi by the tide
of immigration to America. On the
Caronia alone were 1.200 emigrants
from Europe. What will we do with
these people? Will we make them
like ourselves or will they moP us 7
Europe looks to its past. America o
its future. What will this future be?
That is the most interesting thing I
have to think about as a result of my
trip.
“Trite as it may h 1 must say that
I was glad all the while to he an
American, and I saw nothing abroad
ahead of Atlanta.”
House Defeats Bill
Giving Bisk Firms
Investment Liberty
A bill designed to enable Insurance
companies to invest their funds without
the consent and approval of the Comp
troller General was defeated in the
House of Representatives Thursday
morning, by a vote of 70 to 64. A mo
tion to reconsider, by Ledbetter, of
Polk, was defeated 84 to 33. Mr. Led
better’s intention, he stated, was to
table the bill.
The original bill passed by the Senate
provided that the investments should
consist of United States bonds or real
estate, and that loans could be made
on “real estate acquired for office pur
poses.” The bill limited the invest
ments to 10 per cent, the $30,000 limita
tion being added after the bill reached
the House.

Members Warble Camp Meeting
Hymns While Waiting for Ap
propriations Measure.
With nothing to do but wait for the
Senate to conclude Its consideration
of the appropriations bill, the House
of Representatives convened for the
final session of the year at 3 o’clock
Thursday afternoon, with the mem
bers intent on having a good time
and showing their prowess In the
world of song. Just prior to adjourn
ment Thursday morning James of
Gilmer County was chosen “official
song-h’ister,” and he will start the
ball rolling on all the old-time hymns.
He will be assisted by Bob Blackburn,
of Fulton County, who, though small
in stature, has a voice that would e
a credit to an elephant.
Blackburn has been rehearsing the
^hoir or the “gang." as he calls It—
for several days, and after the. House
adjourned Thursday morning he put
the finishing touches to his work.
Lis the Old-Time Religion” is the
favorite hymn of the members, and
parodies ringing in the names of
Speaker Burwell. the Rules Commit
tee and prominent members of the
House have been arranged for the
concert.
House Work Is Completed.
The House Thursday morning prac
tically concluded its work, with the
exception of-receiving the appropria
tions bill from the Senate. The meas
ures passed were all Senate measures,
and most of them nassed the House
without a fight. Those that met de
feat wore as follows:
A bill providing that trust compa
nies may be county administrators.
A bill to authorize judges to revise
the jury lists of the smaller f*ounties
yearly instead of eevry two years.
The latter bill developed in the
greatest fight of the momme. Wis
dom. of Forsyth, led the fight in favor
of the bill, declaring that the smaller
counties have as much right to have
their jury lists revised annual 1 " as
the larger ones. Representative Hard
eman declared, in a speech opposing
the bill, that It was an attemot to
induce the House to settle a nol’tical
dispute in Gilmer County and tV Bine
Ridge Judicial District. Smith, of
Fannin, also opposed the hill while
Moss, of Cobb, and Darrough. of
Franklin, favored it.
Many Senate Bills Passed.
The following bills of general im
portance hlreadv passed bv the Sen
ate. were passed bv the House:
A bill to provide for safety sign
boards at certain designated points
along railroad tracks.
A bill to amend the act providing
for the drainage of swamp lands.
A bill to amend the portion of the

Asa G. Candler Views
Big Buildings Abroad
Return to Local Realty Market Ex
pected—$75,000 In Lots and
Improvements.
The return of Asa G. Candler from
his first trip to Europe is expected
to have x a stimulating effect on local
real estate, since it is anticipated that
Mr. Candler will soon begin realty
operations again In Atlanta. Mr. Can
dler Jhaa been virtually out of the
local market for some time, and his
movements have consequently been
watched with more than ordinary in
terest. sDeairing to extend in other
fields, Mr. Candler has acquired prop
erty in New* York, Chicago, Haltlmoie
and Washington, and this has kept
him busy. Like William T. Healey,
who finds it impossible to build on the
Elkin Drug corner at Five Points be
cause he is occupied around the post-
office. Mr. Candler has had his hands
full. This explains to a considerable
extent why there has been no im
provement on the extensive Candler
frontage at the northwest corner of
Peachtree and Ellis streets.
Mr. Candler arrived In Atlanta
Wednesday and was at his office
Thursday morning. Asked if he in
tended to begin realty operations, he
saien “Maybe after a while, but just
now’ I will let the other fellow.”
One of the things that impressed
Mr. Candler greatly in London was
the modest height of office buildings.
Gazing on six-story “skyscrapers” he
was impelled to compare them with
Atlanta’s towering structures. There
was nothing in the smoky London
streets that rose above the Peters
Building, the Lowndes Ruilding. the
McKenzie Building, the Temple Court
Building,, the Gould Building and a
half dozen other structures which
have long been outstripped by Atlanta
skyscrapers.
In Liverpool, however. Mr. Candler
gazed upon the pride of all England—
a ten or twelve story building at Pier
Head.
Real estate conditions on the Con
tinent were found to be somewhat
unusual. In England, explained Mr.
Candler, only 12 per cent of the land-
owners live on and cultivate the land
they own. The remaining 88 per cent
live abroad and away from their
tracts. “In that country.” he said,
’’there is so little land and so many
people, while in America there is so
much land and so comparatively few’
people. One thing I found character
istic—the universal bowing down be- ,
fore royalty and the eating of pota
toes.”
Lots Bring $25,200.
J. R Smith and W. -D. Manley,
owners, have sold through Dr. JoAl
T. Daves and John H. Maddox, of the
Smith & Ew’ing Real Estate Agency.
63 lots at East Point, on Main street
and Eubanks, Harrison, Maryland and
Pennsylvania avenues, to a client. |
for $25,200, or $400 per lot. Five of
these are improved, and the new own
er will improve the balance with small j
houses casting a total of about $46.-
400.
The lots average 50 by 150 feet.
Many New Residences.
A nnouncement was made Thors- |
day of many new residences which i
will soon be built in Peachtree
Heights Park, the E. Rivers subdivi- |
sion to the west of Peachtree road l
and a few’ hundred yards north of
Peachtree Creek.
Mr. Rivers next spring will start |
the erection of a $30,000 two-storv
residence on a 6-aere tract on Wes
ley avenue near the homes of Clark
Howell and General Clifford L. An-}
derson. Mr. Rivers has combined two
100-foot lots, and his tract widens at
the rear. His location is on the north
side of the thoroughfare, half a block
from the junction of Habersham I
drive and a few hundred yards west
of Peachtree. In this immediate!
neighborhood is the newly started
home of Hunt Chipley.
F. P. Ayers has bought lot 10 of
block 16 in Peachtree Heights Park.
100 bv 400 feet on Wesley avenue, and
will build a handsome residence.
Edgar Watkins has bought on Riv
ers road lot 19 of block 11. 2 1-2
acres* with 150 feet of frontage, and
will likewise build. Mr. Watkins lives
on West Peachtree, and he is ex
pected soon to sell his present home
Mrs. Margaret C, McGovern has
bought lot 12 of block 10 on the same
road. 100 by 276 feet, and will build.
Mrs. Lily C. Beall owns* lot 9 of
block 9 on North Muscogee avenue,
and she will also erect a home in
the near future.
Sam H. Pegram will staft in a few
days the erection of his house at the
southeast corner of Muscogee avenue
and Rivers road, and E. R. Kirk is
building on Andrews avenue. Others
who will soon move to the country in
this subdivision are J. Bulow Camp
bell. E. Lee Worsham and David
Wood ward.
Mrs. Brenner has broken ground
for a two-story brick veneer dwelling
on the east side of Peachtree near
Mayson’s avenue and directly south of
E. Anthony's home.

pany report the sale for Mrs*. M. E.
Broom to Mrs. Nora E. Bennett of
a house and lot. 50 by 150 feet, on
John Wesley avenue, College Park,

Satisfactory Strength Test.
Building Inspector PM R. Hays has
reported the most * satisfactory
strength test for concrete beams ever
made in Atlanta. This was for the
beams of the Red Men’s new wigwam
at No. 86 Central avenue, which sup
ported at the middle a freight car of
cement, a car of sand and a lot of
hollow tile—160.000 pounds—with
maximum of one-fourth of an inch
deflection in 24 hours. The wigwam,
says Mr. Hays, has the longest be-
tween-support beams in the city.
Longer beams are in the Forsyth
Theater, but they differ in that they
are built after the cantilever system.

EXPLAINS CHARGE
Declares Allegations in the Suit
Against Former Macon Pastor
Did Not Justify Reports.
O. C. Hancock, prominent attorney
of Macon, in a letter to The Georgian,
declares that the allegations in his
suit against the Rev. E. T. Moore, a
Baptist minister of Andersonville,
formerly of Macon, do not support the
sensational statements that the pastor
extorted $1,500 from his own brother
as a price for silence in court as to
his brother’s alleged intimacy with
Mrs. Moore. Here is the letter:
Editor of The Atlanta Georgian:
Certain publications in refer
ence to my suit against the Rev.
E. T. Moore have done me and
several of his brothers an injus
tice. In the first place, the alle
gations in my suit do not support
the sensational statements pub
lished In the newspapers.
There had been rumors con
necting the name of Mrs. E. T.
Moore with that of L. V. Moore, a
brother of her husband, but my
suit did not allege that. It was
stated in the press merely that
the charges involved a brother of
E. T. Moore without giving any
initials of that brother, which, of
course, directed public attention to
men against whom not even any
suspicion had been cast.
My fee was settled, and 1 trust
that the incident has been closed.
Very truly yours.
