They will be joined en route by President John Craft, of the Ala bama Good Roads Association, and , State Highway Engineer Keller, who will accompany them through Ala bama. That Tallapoosa is keenly awake to the importance of the monster project to blaze a trail from Atlanta to San Francisco was clearly indicated Mon day night when a score of Talla- poosans, including Mayor C. E. Pearce, L. E. Chandler, editor of The Tallapoosa Journal, and other promi nent citizens, held a conference with Mr. Ferguson at the Tallapoosa Hotel In regard to the formulation of plans for the development of better roads In this vicinity. The Tallapoosa good roads boosters were very enthusiastic over the cam paign inaugurated by The Sunday American, and pledged their heartv support. All Towns Giv. Welcome. Tallapoosa’s warm reception, how - ever, was only one of many between here and Atlanta. All along the 63- mile route the good roads boosters turned out to give the transcontl- nentalists a rousing send-off. At Austell Mayor L. C. Upshaw' and Editor Dake, of The Douglasville New Era, heading a delegation of Douglas ville boasters, met the tourists and escorted them to Douglasville. Here good roads and highways were talked of, and a typical old-time Georgia dinner was served at the Douglasville Hotel, with Mayor Upshaw and Mr. Dake acting as hosts. Other Douglasville citizens who act ed as official escorts were R. E. Ed- w'ards, J. F. Long, superintendent of the cotton mill; J. M. Banks, and Douglas County Commissioners J. T. Lee and A. S. Gresham. According to Mr. Gresham, the Douglas County authorities are pre paring now to spend several thousand dollars on the development of the old Tallapoosa road. The largest work will be the construction of a new steel bridge over Sweetwater Creek costing approximately $2,000 The improvement in Douglas Coun ty of the Tallapoosa highway which was traversed by the Ferguson party and which has been selected as the official route will make this one of the best roads in the entire State. Pathfinder Ferguson declared Mon day night that the road between Aus tell and Douglasville was excellent, and that he remaining sections were good and could be put in fine shape by the expenditure of moderate sums in each county. Leaving Douglasville Monday aft ernoon. Mr. Ferguson and party made a bee line for Villa Rica, arriving there on schedule £t 3:40. Temple, Ga., was reached shortly after 4 o’clock, Bremen at 5, Waco at 5:15 and Tallapoosa at 5:45. Members of the party reported a most delightful trip, with not a single mishap to mar the journey.
