Mr. Ferguson settled the contro versy for the present by agreeing to take the Asheville route, which was urged by a delegation *f 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 l>een suggested, will be tried out on the second trip. The tourist?* resumed the Journey 10 Birmingham Wednesday morning an I 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 extnn led to the trail-blazera.

Jackwm. prominent cot ton mill operators and lumber mer chants. The new road, which the Tallapoo- sans blazed for Mr. Ferguson, hai never been tried out before by long distance tourists It is much shorter than the old Tallapoosa trail ani probably will be selected as the of ficial trans-continental route In this section.

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 thf- entire route from Atlanta to Annis ton is good and capable of affording a fine section of tne transcontinental 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 this section of the high way will be ideal and scarcely with out parallel. ‘The main defect of the Alnbami roads between the 8tate line and An niston 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 th * 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 eaf$t of Heflin, where Promoter Jackson, of the Tal lapoosa evcorts. 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.

Mayor Wikle, Editor Ayers, of The Star and Hot Riant. as well as other prominent citizens, however, were on the Job and gave the tour ists a good send-off.

MADRID, Aug. 20.—A mighty up heaval of the oolitical 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 Spain 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 know r n. 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 w’ar. 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.
