DALTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, JUNE| 1, 1911.
FIRST LINK IN CHATTANOOGA
ATLANTA HIGHWAY ASSURED
AT BIG RINGGOLD GATHERING YESTERDAY A THOUSAND GOOD
ROADS ENTHUSIASTS GET DOWN TO “BRASS TACKS,’’ AND
GIVE ASSURANCES THAT IN SIX MONTHS A GOOD ROAD
WILL BE BUILT FROM THE G OVERNMENT PIKE TO DALTON.
Under the shadow of Ringgold’s his
toric hills, there was yesterday born
a movement which will ultimately see
its fulfillment in a permanent link in I
the Sherman-Johnston highway.
The big picnic and good roads rally
was more of a success than its pro
moters anticipated. More than a
thousand people were there —people
who did not come merely to have a
good time, but men who were serious
ly inclined to hear all there was to
hear about the question of good roads
and willing to do all within their pow
er to see them an accomplished fact.
Money was promised, work was
guaranteed and speeches were made
and enthusiasm was at its height.
Catoosa county farmers, men of
strength and determination took the
platform and although they did not
claim to be orators, their words took
on the semblance of eloquence when
they promised cash and teams and
road material and their time and at
tention to the all-vital question of
having good roads.
pvTlie day was well spent and an eX
ieeytive now has the matter
in charge aTul ’ir m believed that six
months will see a system of good
roads from Chattanooga clear through
to Dalton and this system is surely
to be the forerunner of a pike high
way to Atlanta.
Nearly twenty automobiles left Dal
ton early yesterday morning for the
quaint and beautiful town in our
neighboring county and these were
met at their destination by a large
’Relegation from Chattanooga, Tun
nel Hill. Chickamauga and other North
Georgia points.
The trains supplemented the crowd
and Ringgold with her well known
hospitality, performed the task of host
in a manner which would have been
creditable to a much larger city.
At various points in the town there
were banners which gave the streets
a holiday appearance and at the camp
ground immediately east of the sta
tion a huge streamer was stretched in
front of the hickory grove, on which
were the words: “Welcome Good
Roads.”
A platform for the speakers had
been erected and seats were provided
for aU.
Upon arriving at Ringgold the
crowd repaired to the picnic grounds
where the meeting was officially called
to order by Mr. J. A. McClain, of
Ringgold.
In a few well chosen words Mr. B.
M. Neel, of Catoosa delivered the ad
dress of welcome and the speakers
addressed the meeting on the all-ab
sorbing topic of good roads.
Col. Will Payne, of Chattanooga,
Col. W. E. Mann of this city, Judge
J. V. Williams, of Chattanooga,
Col. F. T. Hardwick, Mr. H. J.
Smith, F. T. Reynolds and others de
livered speeches, as did also Messrs.
Horne, Bandy, Morgan, Stubblefield
and Rev. Wade, of Catoosa county.
The morning session was devoted
largely to an explanation of the object
of the gathering and a number of
strong pleas for good roads were made.
After a magnificent basket dinner,
the meeting was re-convened and to
express it in the language of the
chairman, the crowd got down to brass
taeks, and talked over the question of
ways and means.
Col. F. T. Hardwick and Mr. Horace
J. Smith took charge of the business
end of the session and after a splen
did address on good roads by Judge
R. B. Cook, of Chattanooga, in which
Judge Cook, who is a member of the
Hamilton County Road Commission,
stated that bis county has already 495
miles of pike roads within its limits
and a half a million dollars yet to
spend, the various leaders of delega
tions were called upon to state what
could he done.
The Chattanooga delegation report
ed that already a considerable sum
had been raised by them in a few
hours time and that they would be
pretty certain to have SI,OOO in hand
for their part of the improvements.
Dalton reported that the road from
Dalton to the Catoosa county line
would be placed in proper condition
by citizens of the county and the coun
ty government and that the work
could be started almost immediately.
These two portions being settled,
Catoosa county citizens were called
upon and a number of them spoke.
There are two roads from Stone
church to Tunnel Hill, one of them
the Tiger Creek road and the other
going round by Catoosa Springs.
It seemed likely from the remarks
of Catoosa citizens present yester
day that both these roads will be
placed in excellent condition. Many
of the farmers present promised work
and teams and it was also stated that
a considerable sum of money would
be forthcoming.
The Chattanooga people, it is under
stood, will place the road to Stone
church in good condition.
Before adjournment a committee
was appointed, Mr. Hardwick being
in the chair, and this committee will
meet on June 15, at 1 o’clock at the
court house in Ringgold for the pur
pose of letting contracts and making
other arrangements incident to the
work.
The money is expected to be in hand
by that time and everything will be
in readiness for the construction of
the roads within possibly six months
time.
The committee is as follows:
From Dalton and Whitfield Coun
ty:
Major Joseph Bogle.
Horace J. Smith,
H. L. Smith,
B. A. Tyler.
From Chattanooga:
Judge J. V. Williams,
M. L. Heggie,
