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 LEADING PAPER OF NORTH GEORGIA. BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN PIEDMONT SECTION. DALTON, GEORGIA. THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1911. 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, WHITFIELD TEACHERS INSTITUTE THE NEXT MEETING WILL TAKE PLACE IN DALTON AT THE COURT HOUSE ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER NINTH, AT NINE THIRTY IN THE MORNING.

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.

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.
