Every Road Running Out of Mu.txom. cry Busy Adverfising Summer
 Resorts and Special Rates
 During Hot Months.
 When the long summer days grow hot and sultry, with Dexter Avenue blazing furnace, and Capitol Heights or Cloverdale no less cooler. Mont- gomerians will begin to grow restless and will be wont to seek the cool breezes and shady hooks of the various summer resorts either along the sea- shore or in the mountains.
 Some prefer the breakers of the salt water and the surf bathing at the va- rious resorts along the coast, while others are attracted by the Quietness and cool air found either in the noun tains of Eastern Tennessee or in the hills of North Carolina. sun some are wont to choose an ocean trip from sa- vannah to New York or Boston, while still others may perhaps seek the much-talked-of places on the Great Lakes as Put.in-Bay or sault Ste. Marie.
 At any rate with Montgomery situa- ted as the city is. at the intersection point of six railroads with direct con- Montgomerians will experience little trouble in selecting an attractive place,
 suitable to their own inclinations
 where they may sojourn during the short lived vacation period.
 In order to aid the people of this city
 when they pause to think where they will sumfner, all the railroads are cir- culating literature and pamphlets set- ting forth the advantages Of their routes and the many popular summer resting points they reach.
 For the low rates offered Montgom- erians can go from the wooded hills
 and lakes of Northern New York to the vine clad slopes of Sunny Cali fornia," from the surf bathing at the
 coasts to the water trips on the Great Lakes of Erie and Huron.
 But from the extensive amount of literature handed out by the differfent | railroads which resort shall it be? Ty- bee, or Tate Spring, huddled in the Tennessee, with It's sulphur water, rare
 climate and high altitude? Shall 1t be French Lick Springs, or Mammoth Cave or Colossal Cavern. in Kentucky7 1 Shall 1t be Asheville. in the Land of 1 the Sky and the beautiful Sapphire
 Country, or Newport News and old Point Comfort in Virginia? Shall 1t | be an ocean trip from Savannah to New York away from the dusty sleep CTS in the invigorating salt air, Nor | trip to the wonderful Alaska Yukon Pacific exposition in Seattle? Which shall 1t be7
 But for people of limited means or
 limited time the railroad companies are also offering special rates to places | nearer home, to the different resorts | and springs right within the very con | fines of Alabama, such as Daphne and Point Clear on the beautiful Mobile Bay. Talladega, Blount, Hale and Mag nolia Springs, place in almost every | County of the State where people can pass and enjoy two weeks of rest on q | very small margin of expense. Not only are the railroad companies | offering these special rates and trips | for the people of this city alone, but , other special inducements are to be had from every city along all the va rIous lines, and with the coming of the real hot days there will be 8 perfect | exodus of people from all over the | State and the railroads will be kept busy hauling the pleasure seekers to the cool spots next month. But the l question still remains, which resort | shall 1t be7 All of the local passenger agents of l inc different roads entering Montgom- cry stated yesterday that they ex- l pected e very heavy summer business l and that Montgomerfans were already l making inquiries as to the different | attractive summer tourists proposi. l tionB.
