jackson Automobile Company viii
Set a Pace Which viii Doubtless
Be Followed BY Others.

Special to The NetoS.
Jackson, Miss, April 2S.-The Cen
trail Supply and Automobile Company,
which is soon to be organized in Jack
son, composed of many of the leading
business men of the city, will take
the lead for the campaign for good
roads, not only in Kinds county, but
throughout the state.
One especial feature of the cam
paign will be for road from Mem
phis to Jackson, and to New Orleans
and a third to Mobile, with branch
road to Vicksburg for trips to the Ma
tiona Park Plans for the capaign
will be worked out after the company
ieecures its charter and begins bust
ness.
The object of the company is to
deal in automobile and automobile
supplies and do a general repairing,
but good roads are an essential to
automobile driving, and the company
will take up with the supervisors in
each county in the state, and with
the New Orleans Automobile Club,
the question of the good road automo-
bile highway through the state, while
, Memphis autoists will be asked to
cooperate at that end of the line.
Auto owners and clubs have done
more to bring about the movement
for good roads in Alabama, Tennessee
and Louisiana than any other class
\ of people. They not only agitate the
question for public good, but spend
great deal of money to build thu
roads. There has been talk for SOM
time of a road from here to Memphis
and New Orleans, but it was onl,
rumblings, and nothing definite ha
been done, but as soon as the Contra
Supply Company completes its organ
cation it will take the matter up.
