CONSTITUTION SCOUT S CAME
HERE ON RECORD TIME
Got A Big Boost By Enthusiastic Citizens
THE JOHNSTON-SHERMAN HIGHWAY ADOPTED AS THE EAST
ERN WING OF THE ROUND-T E-STATE TOUR—THE ACTUAL
MILEAGE IS 127 AND 3-10 MILES, MADE IN FIVE HOURS AND
FIFTY-SIX MINUTES.
The Atlanta Constitution scout car,
mapping out a Round-the-State tour
for a big automobile run, came into
Dalton yesterday afternoon and went
on to Chattanooga.
From that point they left this
morning on the homeward stretch for
Atlanta, going by LaFayette, Summer
ville, Rome and Cedartown.
The scout car was met at Five
Springs, below Dalton, by President
H. J. Smith, of the Sherman-Johnston
liighway association, Hpn. P*iul B.
Trammell, Col. W. C. Martin, Rev.
W. R. Foote, J. P. Godwin, .F T. Rey
nolds, B. L. Heartsill, Mr. Brown,
Clayton Moore, Mrs. Wells, Mrs. Clay
ton Moore and Miss Louise Felker
and escorted the car into Dalton.
Here it was greeted by B. A. Tyler,
Frank Summerour, H. C. Hamilton,
J. S. Thomas, Romeo Freer, 11. L.
Smith, F. T. Hardwick, W. M. Hard
wick, and many other prominent citi
zens and the members of the party
expressed themselves as being partic
ularly well pleased with their recep
tion. The scout car of The Constitu
tion contained Fred Lewis of that
paper, A. N. Tumlin, of Cave. Spring,
president of the North Georgia and
Alabama good roads association; D. D.
Armstrong, of the Touring Chib of
America with home offices in New
York, and H. P. Odell, of the Thomas
Automobile company. F. T. Reynolds
joined the scouts here and piloted
them over the remainder of the way
to Chattanooga. The run was made
from Dalton to Ringgold in fifty min
utes with the interruption of two
funeral corteges and the run made in
the blowing rain to that point. At
Ringgold the party was met by Messrs.
Emmerson Heggie, W. H. Fox, F. G.
Ney and two reporters, one each from
the Chattanooga Times and Chatta
nooga News. Several minutes were
spent there talking over the proposed
tour with Professor Bryan, Mr. Mat
thews and others. The start was
made to Chattanooga, through Chick
amauga and Chattanooga National
Militry park, and it was made in re
cord time. At the crest of Mission
Ridge the party stopped to take in the
beauties of the scenery from that
coign of vantage. From there, they
went into the city byway of McCallie
avenue to Hotel Patten, where they
were cordially greeted by Col. J. B.
Pound, Houston Harper, J. P. Winn
and others.
The party in conversation with the
Argus representative said it was
worth a trip from Savannah to get a
glimpse of the beautiful mountain and
valley scenery from Dalton to Chat
tanooga, not to spea kof the historic
part of the journey. They were cor
dial in their compliments about Dal
ton, het good streets and the manner

in which they were greeted. The
work on the roads from Dalton to
Ringgold had its first rain of any con
sequence yesterday and therefore it
was a bit sticky, but Chauffeur Odell
did notmind a little thing like that
and literally plowed his big 90-horse
power Thomas Flyer through it all and
at times his speedometer showed the
little needle dangerously near the
60-mile notch. The actual running
time between Atlanta and Chattanooga
was five hours and fifty-six minutes,
a distance of 127 and 3-10 miles by
the pedometer. This is thirty-four
minutes better than ithas ever been
made before.
Since the Atlanta Constitution scout
car came yesterday many have asked
The Argus what was the object of the
trip and what it meant to the state.
The Glidden tourists will come south
from New York and the East in the
fall byway of the National highway,
which highway was promoted by the
Atlanta Journal and the New York
Herald. They will come down through
Virginia, the Carolinas and through
only a portion of Georgia. This tour
is an annual event run primarily by
automobile factories for making severe
tests of new machines which will be
put on the market the following year.
The tour is always accompanied by
quite a number of auto enthusiasts and
every section of the United States
make efforts every year to get the
“Gliddenites” for the advertising it
gives. They will run to Bruswick or
Jacksonville and from there ship the
machines back home by sea.
The “round-the-state” tour, is got
ten up for the especial benefit of the
auto enthusiasts of the state of Geor
gia, to promote good roads and get ac
quainted with the different sections of
our great Empire State of the oSuth
before any trips are made away from
home. The tour was first planned by
The Atlanta Constitution to run all
through the middle and south ends of
the state, not contemplating coming
north because of the impression that
the counties up here were doing
nothing in the way of good road build
ing. Through the efforts of A. N.
Tumlin, of Cave Springs, F. L. Dyar,
.of Calhoun, Wilson Hardy, of Rome,
and Horace J. Smith, of Dalton, The
Constitution will, with its supporters,
extend the trip on up over the Sher
man-Johnston highway and back by
the way of Rome. Thus it will be
seen that we are not to be left out of
the itinery. Chattanooga will do her
share in helping the cause. The Con
stitution has subscribed one thousand
dollars while the South Georgia towns
have given anywhere from one to five
hundred dollars each. This money
will be made up into purses to be
awarded cars of all classes, powers,

SKETCHING
HISTORIC SCENES
AROUND DALTON
Mr. Charles Lewis, of Boston, is
here and will make some sketches of
historic Dug Gap, Rocky Face, the
forts and valleys in and around Dal
ton made famous by the great Sher
man-Johnston campaign during the
war between the states in the sixties.
Mr. Lewis gave The Argus a call
to ask for the locations and to learn
something of the local history of the
points he will sketch. He has just
completed work in and around Chat
tanooga and will go from here to At
lanta, following the Sherman-John
ston highway for his work.
Ralph Henry Barbour is spending
the summer at his country home,

etc., who make the best record of
their classes. The premiums will be
fairly distributed. This will serve to
give the people a chance to become
better acquainted with each part of
the great state of Georgia and will
stimulate the building of good roads.
We cannot afford, for the first trip,
to pass up Dalton, for it will olaze
the way for thousands of tourists and
everybody knows they have made the
state of Florida rich. The thousands
of tourists who have been going down
there year after year in Pullman
trains. The tide of travel is now
turned to automobiles and this is
Dalton’s chance to get in the swim and
and it should not be neglected. Dal
ton can be depended upon to do her
part.
