TTTE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS PATHFINDER ROLLS INTO MOBILE AHEAD OP TIME; GREAT WELCOME GIVEN With approximately 500 miles of thf* 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 Ix>s 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 Moblleans 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 escQrt- ed them into the city. Here a com mittee from the Chamber of Com meree. 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 80. Like the Mobile boosters, the New r Orleans "live wires" 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 sakl, and a representative of The New Orleans Item, which is co-operating with The Sunday American. The Bir mingham News, The Montgomery Ad vertiser and other lending 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 L’8. New Or leans. August .30; La Fayette. Septem ber 8; Lake Charles. La . September 6; Orange, Texas, September 7: Beaumont, September 7, and Houston on September 8 or 8 The party should reach Its destination, San Francisco, in October. Following out the policy maintained all along the route from Atlanta to Mobile Mr. Fergusorj will spread the gospel of good roads and fine high ways through Ix»uisiana. Texas, Ari zona, New Mexico and Southern Cali fornia. Already the efforts of the pathfinder along this line have bad marked resulti. Beginning at Doug- lasville, Oa. 30 miles west of Atlanta, the official starting point, and contin uing through Tallapoosa, Heflin. Ala, Anniston, Ashvllle, Birmingham, Clanton, Montgomery and Selma as well as other progressive smaller towns, local good roads and highway campaigns have been inaugurate^ 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 and 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, h* 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 thf. weather was too warm down in Georgia and Alabama and Louisiana to make such a trip In the summe r tune. It was to disprove this that Mr. Ferguson decided not only to make the trip in the very dead of summer, hut 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 bad roads, too, has been disproved by this tour. At Anniston. Birmingham, Montgomery and Selma Mr. Ferguson declared to the boosters that be was surprised at the marvelous develop ment of the roads. “If 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 he ideal, lie 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.

Mayor Woodward’s charges that the setting of September 30 as the date of holding Atlanta’s Democratic primary w»s 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 been no meeting or caucus 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 there 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 date was taken up. There was practically jio discussion of it and a resolution by Committeeman T. O. Poole naming September 30 was unanimously adopted. “I can not agree with Mayor Wood ward 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." September 12 Closing Day.

Rut owing to the splendid showing made in the prelim inary application, a special detail was obtained. Major Hardaway was pleased with the location of Riverside, with its campus of 2.000 acres on the banks of the Chattahoochee River, two miles out of Gainesville, because of the many natural advantages offered by it for target practice, maneuvering, skirmish drills, bridge building, pon toon work and other military arts.

President Sandy Beaver, who was in the city Wednesday, announced the faculty has been strengthened and enlarged and the school will open with the largest attendance of its history.
