poosans, including Mayor C. E.
Pearce. L. E. Chandler, editor of The

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 qply one of many between
here and Atlanta. All along the 63-
mile route the good roads boosters
turned out to give the transcontl-
nerttalists a rousing send-off.
At Austell Mayor L. C. Upshaw and
Editor Dake, of The Douglasville New’
Era, heading a delegation of Douglas
ville boosters, met the tourists and
escorted them to Douglasville. Here
good roads and highways were talked
of, and a typical old-time Georgia

ed as official escorts were R. E. Ed
wards, J. F. Long, superintendent of

Douglas County authorities are pre
paring now to snend 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 r >ad between Aus
tell and Douglasville was excellent,
apd that he remaining sections were
good and could be put in fine shape
by the expenditure of moderate sums
in each county.

Prelate Against
Sex Equality Idea
MILWAUKEE, Aug. 19.—"I do not
believe the Creator intended the posi
tion of woman in the world should be
the same as that of man," Archbishop
Sebastian G. Messmer, of the Mil
waukee diocese, told the Catholic
Press Assooiatlon, in speaking against
woman suffrage.
"However," he added, “I would not
dare to come out with a positive
statement that agitation for woman
suffrage is against the rules of the
church. The church has not taken
any definite stand, and until it does,
each Individual has a right to think,
talk and act as he sees fit.”

ready an effort on the part of some
people to distprt the facts in this case,
and we ask in simple justice that the
pubBo withhold their ludgment until
they shall have taken a calm and dis
passionate survey of the evidence in
tne case, after which we do not fear
tneir verdict.”

Exhibit To Be Made

ers will gather at Hotel Ansley for
a luncheon at 1 o’clock Tuesday. They

however, and around the Chamber of

A doubly fine Waist Sale because it is made up of waists from our own stocks

charm and chic and—savings.
