Il Of his experience in killing a des-
perate negro in Meridian, Miss, on

WILL BE THE HANDSOMEST
COURSE or THE KIND in
THE WORLD.
Atlanta Automobile Society is Making
Extensive Plans for the Big Novem-
Der Meet-Something of the Great
Work They Are Doing Along This
Line.

Atlanta Aug. 23.-Building two
mile automobile race track, where the
ponderous machines can fairly fly
through space, and where a speed of
$50 miles an hour is made possible,
is not an ordinary undertaking, by
3 any means Thousands of men, hun
breads of teams, and many slant
steam shovels are required to remove
the dirt for the formation of this
great track Seating capacity for
thousands of spectators, and other
things for their accommodation, are
necessary. Houses have to be built
for the storing of machines, grand
stands have to be erected. and rail-
road facilities have to be looked af
ter, in order to handle the vast
crowds going to such places.
All of these things are being done
by the Atlanta Automobile associa-
ton. a company composed of bust
ness men and sportsmen, that is now
building the fastest automobile track
in the world. The work will be fin
isred early in October and the first
race meet will begin on November
9th, continuing for five days.

Gcomposed of enterprising men, who
nave put 100000 into the enterl rise,
for the purpose Of giving the south
the biggest automobile racing plant in
the United States There is no. a
dollars worth of stock either owned
or controlled by any one in anv way
connected with the automobile bust
ness
The entry list for the November
meet will be one Of the larg EST in
the history of automobile racing. The
weather conditions that usually exist
in the south during November, and
even later IL the winter. are p2rtic-
ularly favol able for automobile rae
ing. Besides bringing thousands to
view the races, the big track will also
be the cause Of automobile tourists
coming to Georgia and the south.
