Atlanta. Ga, Nov. lo-(special.)-- Gaston Guntef. Mayor of Montgomery, was just Gaston Gunter. one of many thousands of near-frantic spectators, at the speedway races Wednesday. He sat modestly on the bieachers. munch- ed crack-a-jaek, cheered in delight when Chevrolet dashed under the wire, winning the s5.000 Coca-Cola trophy. several thousands of mere dollars, and incidentally. two-bits for the Mayor. Mr. Gunter probably will return to Montgomery, Thursday.
 The several Montgomery parties, some fifty strong, are on the home stretch in the tubbing contest. Ever loyal to old Alabama, they swung down Whitehall Street. Monday after noon. with several acres of Alabama real estate clinging to their faces and their clothes. It was enthusiastically Alabama dirt. and the crowds cheered them for the enterprising advertising scheme.
 They say a prophet is not without honor save in his own country. but not so with ]. H. Cook and his tmme- diate party His studied commands, is- suing from steady voice even in the times that most tried chauffeurs' souls, piioted the benzine buggies safely and expeditiously to the Georgia metropo- lis.
 And the people he knowsl In every hamlet along the route and in the most seouestered spots of woody roads; 1t was. Hey. Bilir In variahly, back the answer came. "Hei- To, Jfm," or Hello. Cap'n Cook" It seemed that the nearer the party ap- preached Atlanta the more people the commander-in-chief of the honk bri- gade recognized. To cap it alt how ever, Mir Cook swears he is not in politics either in Alabama or Georgia.
 Herbert Coleman. however. was the thinking man of the crew. His afore- thought and precsution Is arnasing. He was approached in the Piedmont iob- by, Tuesday night. by an Atlanta friend who offered hospitable invita- ton to take 6 glass of butternailk.
 "Oh. no. no. thank you very much, " was the nervous response. T am going
 what It's only 8 o'clock" "Yes, but you know this is autouno- bile time. I have paid for my half of one of the four beds in the room. and if don't hurry to bed. some automo-

 swhat did the Governor of North Carolina say to the Governor of South Carolina?" Soft pedal, please. That has nothing to do with what the May or of Montgomery said to the Mayor of Birmingham. Mir. Gunter and Cap tain OBrien met in the KiImbaH lobby, chatted municipal lore for while. and ended with Q counter invitation to wis it "the greatest city fin the country" The Birmingham Mayor at last ac- cepted and promised that Montgomery should entertain him in few days hence.
 M. J. Gregg and R. D. Burnett. City Daddies of Birmingham, were mem bers of Captain o'Brien's party.
