THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND KEWb.
ALL-SOUTH TRAIL BLAZER
FOR 1 AHA ROUTES
"WSE- IATLJINTMADE
Suffrage Meeting
By HUGH GRANT.
(Sunday American Representative
With Pathfinder.)
ANNISTON, A ur. 20.—That the
campaign inaugurated by Hearst’s
Sunday American for a trans-conti
nental highway from Atlanta to San
Prnncijvo has aroused the South to
its importance was indicated here
Tuesday night when “Pathfinder”
Ferguson and his party of tourists
gilded In upon a scene of contest
between factions of St. Clair County,
clamoring for the highway to Bir
mingham.
Mr. Ferguson settled the contro
versy for the present by agreeing to
take the Asheville route, which was
urged by a delegation of four headed
by Probate Judge Herring, of St.
Clair, who motored to Anniston early
Tuesday morning. The other route
through Pell City and Riverside,
which had been suggested, will be
tried out on the second trip.
The tourists resumed the journey to
Birmingham Wednesday morning an 1
are scheduled to arrive there Thurs
day at noon. A representative of The
Birmingham News, who relieved The
American representative here, accom
panied the party to the Magic City.
Ovation All Along the Route.
The Ferguson party ended a tri
umphant tour through Georgia and
Alabama here Tuesday night. All
along the route from Atlanta to An
niston one continuous ovation was
extended to the trail-blazers.
Leaving Tallapoosa early Tuesday
nWnlrtg, after spending Monday
night there, the party was escorted
over a new route to Heflin. Ala., by
a delegation of Tallapoosa good roads
boosters, consisting of Mayor Pearce,
L. E. Chandler, editor of The Talla
poosa Journal; Judge Eaves, Ordi
nary of Haralson County, and J. C.
and A. L. Jackson, prominent cot
ton mill operators and lumber mer
chants.
The new road, whiyh the Tallapoo
sa ns blazed for Mr. Ferguson, has
never been tried out before by long
distance tourists. It is much shorter
than the old Tallapoosa trail and
probably will be selected as the of
ficial trans-continental route in this
section.
The Tallapo %n boosters showed
the tourists every ccur^ay and man
ifested much enthusiasm over tne
monster campaign being conducted by
The American. According to mem
bers of the party, Haralson County
now has about 1.000 miles of roads
and is preparing to deevlon more. The
latest addition to the road building
equipment is a $4,500 grader which
is being used throughout the county.
Tourists See Road Building.
A few miles west of Tallapoosa on
the Alabama side the tourists got
their first view df actual road build
ing through the mutual co-operation
of the farmers in this section, follow
ing a call of Governor O’Neal. Sev
eral miles of roadway in Cleburne
County is being put in good shape in
this way and more work of this na
ture is contemplated beyond Heflin.
The trans-continentalisr'a and es
corts from Tallapoosa arrived at Heflin
soon after noon Tuesday. Here they
were met and intertained at Qie
Alexander Hotel by R. A. Perryman,
one of Heflin’s progressive merchants.
Mr. Perrvman is not only a boos
ter of things mercantile, htft he is
an ardent apostle and booster of good
roads and highways. He showed the
keenest interest in the tranuconti- j
nental campaign and declared Cle- j
bume County would do its part.
The enthusiastic Tallapoosa boost- |
ers joined him in this in a pledge to i
put the project through in this sec- I
tion of the country at all odds.'
Road Can Be Made Good.
Leaving Heflin at 2:30 o’clock Tues- I
day afternoon Mr. Ferguson and par
ty set out for Anniston a distance
of twenty miles. Although for the |
first five miles out the road was
rough and hilly, Mr Ferguson de
clares the route can be made O. K.
with a small amount of labor.
In fact, Mr. Ferguson, who is a
past master in the art of road and
highway development, declares the
entire route from Atlanta to Annis
ton is good arid capable of affording
a fine section of the trans-continental
highway.
“If the citizens of Georgia and
Alabama, between Atlanta and An-
piston, do as much for the develop
ment of the roads in the next two
years as they have done in the last
two,” said Mr. Ferguson, "road condi
tions along rhis section of the high
way will be ideal and scarcely with
out parallel.
“The main defect of the Alabama
roads between the State line and An-
niMton is the extreme narrowness. It
is almost impossible to pass teams
in many places. However, this con
dition can be remedied by the simple
application of the rule laid down by
the Governor of the State, requesting
the farmers to donate a few feet on
each side of the road for the widen
ing of the highway.
Narrow Roads Encountered.
Pathfinder Ferguson’s allusion to
the narrow roads had a striking ex
ample about five miles east of Heflin,
where Promoter Jackson, of the Tal
lapoosa escorts, was forced to dis
mount and hold a baby while the
father unhitched his mules and led
them into a cornfield at the side of
the road to make a passageway.
As a result of a confusion of
schedules the Ferguson party glided
into Anniston unheralded Tuesday af
ternoon. Mayor Wlkle, Editor Ayers,
of The Star and Hot Blaut. as well as
other prominent citizens, however,
were on the Job and gave the tour
ists a good send-off.
Shortly after the arrival the Ashe
ville delegation, consisting of Probate
Judge Herring. Judge John Inzer. Dr.
YV. C. Johnson and Uranus PrickeU,
who came down Tuesday morning,
called on Mr. Ferguson to present
their claims for the Asheville-Spring-
ville route. They left Anniston Tues
day night after receiving assurance
that the tourists would take the
Asheville road.
The Ferguson party. Including Wal
ter Harper, representing The Bir
mingham News. will stop over rtf
Ashville Wednesday night, making
Birmingham Thursday at noon. A
big celebration will be. held here. From
the Magic City the partv will go io
Montgomery and then, in the order
named, to Mobile, New r Orleans, Dal
las. Phoenix, San Diego. Los Angeles
and Ran Francisco.
Rivals Urge Another Route.
A rival delegation of good roads
boosters from Riverside arrived this
morning to urge Pathfinder Ferguson
to go to Birmingham by way of Pel'
City and Riverside.
The party consisted of A. R. Mor
ris. manufacturer; T. S. Coleman and
<\ J. Fowler. >
Mr. Ferguson was forced to decline
on account of his previous promise
to the Ashville boosters. The River
side party declare their route is 20
miles shorter than the Ashville-
Springville highway.
Mr. Ferguson assured the party he
would go by way of Riverside on the
second tour to San Francisco.
The transcontinentalists left here
at 10 o’clock for Birmingham,

Muscogee Likely to
Reduce Its Tax Rate
COLUMBUS, Aug. 20.—The Musco
gee County Commissioners will meet
in a few days to fix the tax rate
for 1914. The rate* has been four
mills for several years, and there
has always been a healthy balance
in the treasury. Should the tax rate
remain four mills the income for 1914
will he about $92,000, considerably
in excess of the expenditures.
It is claimed that Muscogee’s tax
rate is the lowest in the State and it
is probable that it will be lowered
still further, when the commission
ers make their estimates for another
year.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20.—Maury
I. Diggs, holding his little daughter
Evelyn, aged 4. on his lap, sat beside
his wife in Federal Juujge Van Fleet’s
courtroom to-day while attorneys for
the Government painted word pictures
of him as an arch villain in the
elopement from Sacramento to Reno
of Diggs, Marsha Warrington, Drew
Caminetti and Lola Norris.
Nervously the defendant looked
about the court chamber. His eyes
sought out the face of each of the
twelve men who to-night will be
asked to decide his fate. One of his
hands constantly stroked the golden
curls of the little girl on his knee. He
shifted uneasily in his seat as Special
Prosecutor Roche pointed at him and
shouted that he was “hiding behind
the skirts of his wife and child.”
The case wdll be in the hands of
the jury before to-night.
It was the belief of many who have
followed closely the progress of the
trial that Diggs, as a witness^ in hi.%
own behalf, made a bad impression
on the Jury. His efforts to place
entire responsibility for the flight to
Reno at the door of the Warrington
girl, his statements that he was half
crazed with fear on account of the
reported anger of his wealthy fatheT
because of his numerous escapades,
and Lie action of the attorneys for
the defense in. preventing Diggs tes
tifying with reference to the move
ment of the elopers after they left
aacramnto, appeared to* impress the
jurors unfavorably.
Speaking of th e w r rath of his father,
Diggs said he was afraid of whit his
father would do to him. He said he
was so frightened that he was half
crazy and did not know what he was
doing.
He told how he hid from his father
in the Columbia Hotel and how he
spent a day on the outskirts of the
j city to keep away from Diggs, Sr.
Diggs admitted that after he had
j taken Marsha Warrington into his
; own apartment when his wife was
away he arranged a dinner party to
which he brought the ,girl to sit at
his table with Mrs. Diggs. He ad
mitted that he feared th e Juvenile
Court officers, though he denied a
charge that this fear was due to re
lations with young girls of 15 and 17.

Mighty Upheaval in European
Politics Is Promised as Result
of Balkan War. /
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
MADRID, Aug. 20.—A mighty up
heaval of the Dolitical condition of
the big powers of Europe is reported.
This change in the alignment of the
great continental world powers was
brought about by the Balkan war and
in the future probably will play an
important part in the history of civ
ilization.
According to information obtained
from an official source, a project is
under consideration by which Sj®ln
is to take Russia’s place in the triple
entente and Russia is to head a new
alliance including some of the Slav
states.
Whether Russia is to throw her for
tunes with Bulgaria or whether she
will head a group of Balkan powers,
including Servia, Roumania, Monte
negro and Greece, is not known. It is
pretty certain, however, that Russia
will take steps soon to form a league
with states which became prominent
and powerful in the Balkan war.
With Russia out of the triple al
liance, Spain still will have two pow
erful allies, namely, Great Britain and
France.
Territorial accession of Great Brit
ain, Spain and France have to some
extent given them common interests.
There is a movement on foot in
Paris to try to hold Russia in the al
liance, but it is doubtful whether it
will prove successful. If Russia re
mains with the old alliance and Spain
is added, the triple entente, including
Austria, Germany and Italy, will be
completely overshadowed.
