f * ¥ 4 THK ATLANTA MKOKltlAN AND NEWS. T Good Roads Roosters Are Aroused. Big Ovation for Pathfinders Is Planned in Birmingham. Good roads and highway boosters of Atlanta and Georgia are watching with interest the progress of Path finder Ferguson, who is blazing a trail from Atlanta to San Francisco for Hearst’s Sunday American and other papers. The Ferguson party is speeding through east Alabama toward Bir mingham. Arriving there about noon Thursday the party ^ r ill be escorted into the city by a big delegation of good roads boosters, city officials and leading citizens, headed by a brass band. Soon after the arrival a mon ster meeting and reception will be held in honor of the trail-blazers. The tourists will resume the jour ney to Montgomery Friday morning and are scheduled to arrive in the Alabama capital Saturday. From Montgomery the party will proceed to Mobile, thence-to New Orleans, Dal las, Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Enthusiasm Augurs Success. If the enthusiasm manifested in the big campaign all along the route from Atlanta to Birmingham is an indica tion of that which is to follow from Mobile and New Orleans on to San Francisco, the ultimate success of the project is assured. Seldom in either Georgia or Ala bama have people been known to take such interest in a campaigp of this sort. Leaving Atlanta Monday morn ing, the Ferguson party arrived at Austell, where a big delegation of Douglasville good roads boosters met the tourists to escort them to Doug lasville. Here Mayor Upshaw and Editor Drake acted as hosts at a re ception at the Douglasville Hotel. Not to be outdone by their neighbors, the Tallapoosa boosters took the tourists in hand Tuesday morning and escort ed them across the State line to Hef lin, Ala., where another reception was held, with Booster R. A. Perryman as the host. Contest Over Routes Develops. From Heflin the tourists proceeded direct to Anniston, where a new s«ort of evidence of the immense interest in the campaign was found in the form of a contest between rival delegations from Ashville and Riverside, who want the highway between Anniston and Birmingham. Mr. Ferguson settled the contro versy for the present by deciding to go by way of Ashville on this trip and via Riverside and Pell City on the second trip to San Francisco. Al though the Riverside enthusiasts were keenly disappointed, they took their medicine manfully and went back home Tuesday afternoon to begin work on the road in prepartion for Mr. Ferguson’s trip several months h*»nce The official route through this section of the country will not be se lected until both routes have been checked over carefully. Following arrival at Anniston Path finder Ferguson declared the roads between Atlanta and the Alabama city were in good shape in most places and highly capable of affording a first-class trans-continental route. If the citizens of Georgia and East Ala bama do as much for the roads in the next two years as they have done in the last two. Mr. Ferguson declar ed, the highway through this section will be ideal. The records Mr. Ferguson is making show the road between Austell and Douglasville to be one of the finest stretches in East Georgia. The road bed is built of fine granite soil which is damaged very little by traffic. From Douglasville to Tallapoosa the road is not quite so good but is in such shape that a small expenditure would put it in excellent condition. The entire route from Austell to Tal lapoosa is over the old Tallapoosa highway, which in former times was the Tallapoosa Indian trail. The pres ent road was constructed about 25 years ago. The Ferguson party traveled over a new route from Tallapoosa to Heflin, Ala. A part of the road is in fairly good shape, but other sections are rough. These bad conditions will soon be a thing of the past, howevei, through the mutual co-operation of the Ala bama farmers who are giving a part of their time to working the roads in Cleburne County. Between Heflin and Anniston the road is bad in spots. Suffrage Speaker Hit by Water ‘Bomb’ NEW YORK.
