'AutOm0blllStS OF Columbia IN
personal letters to friends in Atlanta
Saturday urged a change in the plans
of The Journal-Herald scout cars, one
writing "that the road between AL
beville and Newberry is horrible on
account Of the crossings Of the Sa!ada
river and the three-mile vide swamp
at Chappells, between Greenwood and
Newberry'
THE Journal Immediately lives
tigated the reports and telogran:s
from leading citizens in Abbeville,
Greenwood and Newberry show that
the automobilists had in mind a diff
ferent route from the one to be tray
ersed by the scouts. The cars will
60 as originally planned via Able
vile, Greenwood, Newberry, thence
on to Columbia.'
It will be seen that, notwithstand-
ing Columbia's efforts, the scout cars
are coming to Newberry.
The people Of Greenwood were al
so in communication with Atlanta on
Saturday, working with Newberry for
the location Of the route.
Pilot Cars Go to Meet Scouts.
Three parties went to Greenwood
Yesterday to meet the scout cars. DR..
F. D. Mower and DR.. W. E. Pelham,
yr., drove DR.. Mowers car, via o.
Neall bridge over Bush river, thence
by Zion church and the long bridge
over Little River to Williams store,
and from there by Vaughnville to
Cross Hill and Greenwood.
Mr.. W. C. Moran drove Mr.. z. F.
Wright's White Steamer, in which
were Mr.. E. H. Aul, Mr.: R. Herman
Wright and Supervisor Feagle, to
Williams Store along the same route
taken by Drs. Mower and Pelham,
and from Williams store on over the
railroad bridge between Chappells and
Dyson, by Ninety Six and on to Green
wood.
Capt. W. S. Langford's Ford run
e1out. with Mr.. ". C. Waldrop at
the wheel and Mr.. Langford on board.
took the Belfast road over the o.
Neall bridge and by Longshore's s
store to Cross Hill, and then on to
Greenwood.
Dr.. Mowers car and Capt. Lang
ford's car will meet at Cross Hill
and proceed to Greenwood together.
The Trip to Newberry.
At Greenwood the three cars will
compare notes of the routes travers-
y ed, and decided on the best route to
Newberry. If the Cross Hill route is
selected, as seems probable, the cross
ing Of Saluda river will probably be
made at Smith s bridge, and the prob
able road from Cross Hill to New
berry will be by Belfast and on by
I:ongshore' to Newberry.
In any event, the cars will come
into Newberry across the O'Neall
bridge over the Bush river. The
~oute into the city will then be by
the place of the late Mr.. 7. NJ. Neel,
thence up O'Neall street to Drayton
street. thence through Drayton street
to Boundary street, thence down
Boundary to Caldwell street, and al
ong Caldwell street to the Newberry
hotel.
Reception Here.
The party will be rendered a recep-
ton on their arrival in Newberry, and
will be urged to spend the night here.
The full program of the entertain
mant to be accorded them during their
stop in Newberry has not yet been
completed.
The Probable Itinerary.
The cars left Atlanta Journal Of
fee Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock
for their long trip to Herald Square,
at Broadway and 34th street. New
York. Their progress, Of course, will
be determined largely by the char
acter Of the roads and the condi-
tion Of the weather. but when the
start was made the tentative itinerary
provided for reaching Elberton last
might. The points in Georgia which
ii was planned to reach yesterday
were: Decatur, Stone Mountain,
Lithonia, Conyers, Covington. Social
Circle. Monroe. Athens. Elberton. The
Atlanta Journal Of Sunday said in
regard to the second days trip (Tues-
day.: "The scouts have less posi-
tive information concerning the Sec
ond days run, because less is known
