come in the atmosphere, and everybody
and everything seemed to nod assent to
the genial manner in which the recep-
ton committee made their Gate City
guests feel at home on their arrival at
headquarters for the good roads con-
test today. Atlanta and Macon shook
hands, and If cooperation means any

thing, the boom for good roads launched
by The Journal some time ago, will grow
and grow until the suggestions and
probabilities of today will be realities.
me Journal and those who have so
earnestly supported The Journal, will
probably look back upon today as the
gala day of the contest.
About twenty-five automobiles loaded
with Macon citizens and good roads sup
porters met The Journal party near the
Bibb county line, and as they were pass
ed one by one cheers of welcome and
for good roads went up, making the
scene one. not only Of excitement, but
OF encouragement as well.
The drive on to Macon then, a dis
lance of about ten miles, was quickly
made, over the beautiful pike road in
Bibb county, and the arrival in the
suburbs of the Central City was the
Signal for waving of handkerchiefs and
mats by the residents of that section
who were on their porches and lawns.
After a short orive around the city. The
Journal party was taken to the Elks'
club in the Grand opera mouse building
by George W. Duncan, a well known real
estate dealer; Frank B. Coates, promi-
nent life insurance man, and G. Y. john
stCn, wholesale groceryman, who had
met the party in large White Steamer.

JOURNAL GOOD ROADS CARS
AS THEY SPEED TO MACON

The century run was without speclal
physical interest, save the puncture OF
tire on one of The Journal cars. The de-
lay came, however, just as the committee
of city and county representatives ana
prominent citizens from Griffin rolled up.
So, while the puncture was being RENEE
died. the Griffin people told The Journal
pioneers what their city and county were
doing for good roads. They needn't have
said a word, however, about good roads,
for this was evident. AS a further evil
dence, however, of the truth of their
claims, The Journal party was escorted
TO a stretch of road on the western part
of Griffin which had been Handicapped"
The roadway was as level and as straight
as an arrow and as smooth as polished
floor. Griffin has "a convicts now at work.
Jonesboro was glad to see the cars,
and forced The Journal party to tell the
people about The Journals plans. Hamp-
ton, too, gave cordial welcome.
MANY TOWNS TURNED OUT.
GAINESVILLE, Forsyth and all the stations
along the line turned out in full force to
greet The Journal, and promised to CO.
operate in every way possible.
In Macon the arrival of The Journal
party made history, for every street was
filled with machines. People were on hand
from every county in the wiregrass sec
ton and almost from every county in the
state. Macon has never seen such a
gathering of autoists, and every automo-
bile man stood for good roads, of course.
1t is doubtful If ever before in the state
or south has such magnificent number
OF machines been gathered together for
and purpose.
Though the Macon gathering appeared
to bring the good roads movement to it's
climax, it was in reality but the first
chapter in tho history of the greatest
movement ever inaugurated in the state
and promises a boon to all classes of cit
izenship alike.

MACON, Ca, May 25.-With the merry
honk-honk of their touring cars, accom-
panied by the fanfare of bugles, The At
lanta Journal good roads party rolled into
Macon Monday afternoon after an epoch
making run through the heart of the
state, and with the plaudits of the people
ringing in their ears.
The Journal party, hailed everywhere
along the stretch of the one hundred and
three miles between the capitol city and
the Central City as the pathfinders of
the dawning crusade for good roads,
found outstretched hands awaiting them
In Macon, where their coming was eager
ly awaited. The Journal cars, filled with
invited guests and Journal men, were met
several miles out from the city and es-
corted back to town.
DAWNING OF NEW DAY.
The appearance of The Journal cars on
its mission of road betterment appealed
to every person Monday who saw the
pathfinders emerge through clouds OF
dust, racing down the backbone of the
state. 1t was the firing gun of better
roads in the settlement and neignborhood
and county. 1t was the realization of the
first chapter of the fondest hopes of the
Georgia farmer. 1t meant the dawning
of the day of a new era of agriculture
and industrial prosperity.
From the moment that The Journal cars
rolled across the limits of Atlanta until
they stood hot and painting in front of
the Lanier hotel in Macon. there seemed
to emanate from them an aura Of vital
import and timely interest to every eye
that was trained upon the racing process
sion over the red hills of Georgia The
people seemed to understand, as though
through intuition, that the automobile.
while q factor in the movement, was an
agency rather than beneficiary directly
in the cause They realized, as they APP
plauded. that back of the automobile and
it's utility as a public conveyance, its
presence Monday was an omen of deeper
meaning.

marked success of the good roads meet
ing here today, comes the announcement
that the roads between this city and At

be begun in this direction Wednesday
morning.
The oil to be used will be the Gulf Re
ining oil, and the sprinkling will be done
by r. J. Laster, of this city, agent for
the Gulf Refining company.
While this method will be something OF
an experiment in this section. il is known
that in other places 1t has proved to be
very successful. In the Blue Grass ser

make them, this process has been used
for several years and it is found that
tine pixies are not only made more durable,
but there is never any dust or mud,
which fact does away with quite an OBJ
jectionable feature. For several miles out
Of Lexington in all directions, and in
some instances as much as from town to
town, the pixies are practically all oiled,
and although ii is rather an expensive
measure at the beginning. 1t has been
found to be considerably cheaper in the
long run. The fact that such long dis
lance is to be oiled here will require soma
time TO complete the work, and by the
time the workmen reach Atlanta, the ex-
pertinent will have practically been made
at this end OF the line. If this method IL
we'll thought of, il is quite likely that
most of the roads in the state will be
