THF; ATLANTA GEORGIAN ANT) NEws. Freddy Him Copyright, 191.1, lnte national News Sferrlr* The Goats Get His Go*' 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.

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.

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.

Two companion bills regulating the calling out of the St^ militia by the Governor, and providing that Sheriff of the county to which they are called shall command them, were ; tabled on motion of Shuptrine, of Chatham, killing them for this ses sion. 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.

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. Interesting Small Sales.

Bennett of a house and lot. 50 by 150 feet, on John Wesley avenue, College Park, for $2,500, and the following in their Howell Mill road subdivision: To J. J. Campbell, a 54 by 145-foot lot on Belle Meade avenue. $600; to C. G. Moore, R. H. Vance and A. L. Nicholson, same. Marietta Store Lot Sold. J. T. Stover has bought from a client of the A. J. & H. F. West real estate agency a cottage on Gordon street, West End, south of Georgia avenue, for $2,500, and the West agency reports the sale for H. F. West to Dr. W. E. Beckham of a 25 by 100 foot store property on Ma rietta street, near Hampton street, for $2,000, and the resale of the same to J. Frank Beck. • • • 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. E 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. O. C. HANCOCK. Maqon. Ga., August 14, 1913. CABBAGE POISONS 53.
