TITE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. With approximately 500 miles of the transcontinental highway behind him, Pathfinder E. L. Ferguson Wed nesday prepared for the long west ward journey from Mobile through New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, El Paso, San Diego and Los Angeles to San Francisco. Mr. Ferguson ar rived in Mobile late Tuesday after noon. Mobile's reception to the pathfind ers was only one more indication of the widespread interest in the mon ster campaign for a transcontinental highway inaugurated in Atlanta on August 18 by Hearst’s Sunday Amer ican. The Mobileans carried out a pro gram which they planned weeks ago. Several miles north of the city a big delegation of boosters, including many women enthusiasts in automo*- biles, met the pathfinders and escort, ed them into the city. Here a com mittee from the Chamber of Com merce, as well as prominent citizens and city officials, took the members of the party in hand and tendered to them a royal reception which the Mobile boosters say “surpassed the celebrations in Birmingham and Montgomery.” Immediately following the recep tion Mr. Ferguson began complet ing his plans for the resumption of the journey to New Orleans, which place he expects to reach on August 30. Like the Mobile boosters, the New Orleans “live wire®” have had their plans practically complete for several weeks, according to advance reports. Big Celebration Planned. A monster good roads and highway celebration will be held, it is said, and a representative of The New Orleans Item, which is co-operating with The Sunday American. The Bir mingham News, The .Montgomery Ai- vertiser and other leading Southern newspapers, will relieve the Mont gomery representative. The special man from The Item will accompany the party as far as Beaumont, Texas, where a representa tive of The Houston Post, which also is behind the movement, will join the tourists, accompanying them as far as Dallas. From Dallas Mr. Fer guson probably will be accompanied to Los Angeles by a representative of The Dallas Times-Herald. Mon ster receptions have been planned in each of the big cities named along the route, as well as many of the smaller ones. According to the schedule as now planned, Mr. Ferguson will reach Bi loxi, Miss., on August 28; New Or leans, August 30; LaFayette, Septem- Congressman Looks to Women Who Combat Extreme Styles for Nation’s Strength. WASHINGTON. Aug 27.—Women who shun the immodesty and impro priety of present-day fashions can be relied upon for the future strength and posterity of the nation, accord ing to Congressman Thomas Heflin, of Alabama. Heflin expressed his opinion of diaphanous feminine drap ery and the slit skirt craze as fol lows : “I would paraphrase the Scripture, •By their fruits ye shall know them.’ and say, ‘By their dress or lack of dfess we shall know them.’ The evil genius of lustful fashion through im modest dress is playine havoc with a certain class of women in this coun try and setting a had example for others. "Thank God. the good mothers have begun a crusade against this evil. "The woman who instills in her daughter the principles of good sense and modesty and trains her up in the way that she should go has done more for her day and generation than she can ever hope to do by active partici pation in politics.” Work Begun on New Wholesale Section An important spreading of Atlan ta’s business section was marked Tuesday by the beginning of work on a new wholesale section just west of the Terminal station. The work be gun is the building of spur tracks by the Southern Railway. Erection of buildings will follow’ immediately. A large section of West Side prop erty was bought for this development. The spur tracks will leave the main line at the Peters street viaduct, and extend to Mangum and Haynes streets. There will be room for two long blocks of warehouses. LABOR DAY AT MACON. M AC ON.—The Labor Unions have made extensive preparations for the celebration of Labor Day on Monday at Central City Park, where an all day picnic will be held. Athletic sports, daVci^g, a fiddlers* convention and basek 0 will be features. ber 3; Lake Charles. La., September 5; Orange, Texas, September 7: Beaumont, September 7, and Houston on September 8 or 9. The party should reach its destination, San Francisco, in October. Following out the policy maintained all along the route from Atlanta to Mobile Mr. Ferguson will spread the gospel\of good roads and fine high ways through Louisiana, Texas, Ari zona, New Mexico and Southern Cali fornia. Already-the efforts of the pathfinder along this line have had marked 'results. Beginning at Doug- lasville, Ga., 30 miles west of Atlanta, the official starting point, and contin uing through Tallapoosa, Heflin, Ala., Anniston, Ashville, Birmingham, Clanton, Montgomery and Selma, as well as other progressive smaller towns, local good roads and highway campaigns have been inaugurated fol lowing Mr. Ferguson’s visit. The manifest enthusiasm with which the tourists were received all along the route has been directed into channels for the actual improvement of the roads arjd the development of'high ways. Bad Roads Stories Disproved. Although Mr. Ferguson has com pleted less than a third of the long cross-country tour, he has already demonstrated beyond a doubt that the South affords an ideal route for an open-the-year-round highway. This claim was scouted by Northern tourists, who have declared repeated ly that the w’eather was too warm down in Georgia and Alabama and Louisiana to make such a trip in the summer time. It was to disprove this that Mr. Ferguson decided not only to make the trip in the very dead of summer, but also to take his wife and children with him. That he has al ready succeeded is indicated by the reports from Mrs. Ferguson, who has declared all along the route that she was delighted with the “ideal” cli mate. The South’s reputation for had roads, too, has been disproved by this tour. At Anniston. Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma Mr. Ferguson declared to the boosters that he was surprised at the marvelous develop ment of the roads. “1/ the citizens along the way which I have traversed do as much for good roads during the next two years as they have done during the past two, conditions should be ideal,” he said. That these citizens are going to do this and even more has been indi cated repeatedly from the time Mr. Ferguson left Atlanta until he arrived in Mobile Wednesday. LING OVER MEXICAN SITUATION PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON. PRESIDENT VICTORIANO HUERTA. LIKELY IN Julian Urquhart, Former Re corder, Expected to Announce Candidacy for Mayor. MACON, Aug. 27.—Julian Urqur- hart, former Recorder of Macon, is being urged by his friends to enter the race for Mayor, and he has the matter under consideration and will make a final decision in a short time. It is generally understood, however, that he will run. Mr. Urqurhart is an attorney and well qualified to fill the position of Mayor. He is familiar with munici pal affairs*, and his record as Record er will be used in the campaign. He will make the race independently without an aldermanic ticket. The other announced candidates art* Bridges Smith, A. L. Dasher, Sr., and Wallace Miller. Record Registration. MACON, Aug. 27.—The registration in Macon and Bibb County this year promises to break all past records. The total registration at present is 2,675. and it is believed this number will be doubled. The largest regis tration on record was in 1912, when 3,770 voters qualified in the county. Three elections with more than 4ft candidates in the field is the cause of the increased interest in the registra tion, and it is believed that before the books for the special registration for the municipal primary at least 4.500 citizens will have qualified to vote. For Chiof of Police. MACON. *Aug. 27.—Harry Griggs, manager of the Elberta Hotel, has been announced by his friends as a candidate to succeed Walter B. Chap man. the present Chief of Police. Chief Chapman’s term will expire December 17, and his successor will be elected by the Board of Aldermen. Mr. Griggs' candidacy will only be announced in the event Bridges Smith, administration candidate for Mayor, is elected at the coming mu nicipal election. Miller Has Mascot. MACON. Aug. 27.—Wallace Miller, candidate for Mayor on the young men’s ticket, has a mascot—a baby daughter, who was born yesterday. j. I SITU HITS PL I Chairman of Committee Declares Mayor Easily Could Have Had Primary Deferred. Mayor Woodward’s charges that the setting of September 30 as the date of holding Atlanta’s Democratic primary was the result of a well-laid plot has brought a strong .denial from Chairman John Y. Smith, of the city Democratic executive committee. There is absolutely no ground for the charge, according to Mr. Smith. Also he is of the opinion that six weeks is sufficient length of time for the men running for the offices of councilman and alderman to make their campaign. “A charge that the date of Septem ber 30 was set as the result of a con spiracy is without foundation,” said Mr. Smith. “The meeting of the com mittee was attended by practically every member, while there had betfli no meeting or < aucus of any kind prior to the meeting. “It has been the custom for persons other than members to attend its meetings and to address them. Had the Mayor desired to have a later date set he could easily have appeared before the committee and have been accorded the courtesy of giving his views. I doubt if ther e would have been much trouble in having had the date set beyond September 30. “There was considerably more than a quorum of the committee member ship present when the matter of set ting the (late was taken up. There was practically no discussion of it and a resolution by Committeeman T. O. Poole naming September 30 was unanimously adopted. “1 can not agree with Mayor Wood- w’ard that the time is too short for the candidates for alderman and councilman to make their campaigns. When a candidate has to stretch his campaign beyond a period of six weeks it works a hardship on him, while the. people undoubtedly get tired of too much politics.” ‘Farmer Bill' Zimmer Joins Benedict Ranks After Long Romance “Farmer Bill" Zimmer gave his friends a great surprise Tuesday night when he quietly re-entered the ranks of the benedicts, and to-day Kim- ballville Farm is all a-flutter.
