Rivalry Between Mitchell
and Colquitt Counties.
Albany Herald.
Moultrie and Camilla are rivals
for the state automobile tour next
fall. The question is as to which
town shall be on the route between
Albany and Thomasville.
Frank Weldon, who is repre¬
senting The Herald, Constitution,
Telegraph and thirty other papers
in the educational campaign for
state-wide road improvement, was
in conference with the commis¬
sioners of Mitchell county yester¬
day, and will be in Moultrie to¬
morrow.
Mitchell’s commissioners agreed
to put their road in excellent con¬
dition from the Dougherty line
through Bacon ton, Camilla and
Pelham to the Thomas county
line.
Dr. F. L. Lewis, W. L. Butler,
Leon Roles and others are taking
a lively interest in getting the road
for Camilla.
The Moultrie board of trade is
trying to pull the tour through Col¬
quitt county.
with Mf.
bany this morning. Mr. Aycock
urged that the route go by Moul¬
trie.
Camilla expects to put at least
four cars in the tour, and contrib¬
ute to the prize fund if the run
goes that way.
Mr. Weldon said this morning:
‘ ‘The campaign for better roads
is producing results. One of the
first things will be the establish¬
ment of a fine trunk highway be¬
tween North and South Georgia by
way of Albany and Macon. That
will bring thousands of tourists
through here, and they will leave
lots of money in every town.”

question in its various phases,
showing the great good that had
been accomplished since the pro¬
hibition law weut into effect. He
pointed out the fact that sixteen
thousand saloons had closed their
doors and as many more would go
out of business as the prohibition
movement advanced. As the re
salt ©f this prohibition wave in the
South he said that half of the re

interest. At its conclusion Dr.

to be used by the Anti-Saloon
League in the furtherance of its

ing up whipping the horses when
