Graded Roads Along That Route
and Split Log DFagS an Implement
Unknown.

Americus good roads enthusiasts
who for two years agone have been
RECALLED with alluring stories of the
National Highway" between Macon
ard Atlanta will have the dream OF
realism rudeIy dispelled in a trip over
that route, compared with which
The Rocky Road to Dublin" is in
deed a boulevard,
In fact, any rocky road would not
suffer by contrast with the highway
from Macon to Atlanta
For seventy miles, perhaps, there
lis not one mile of graded roadway, and
not until the suburbs of Griffin are
reached do the roads bear any SEM
biante to modern highways Rough
hilly. ungraded, narrow in places and
unkept withal. the highway" is an IT.
descent dream.
This condition can best be appre-
Iciated ty the statement that the poor
est mile of graded road in Sumter
county is infinitely better than the
best mile between the Bib county line
and Barr es lille, sixty miles away.
This is a broad assertion. If you
doubt it, go and see.
An Americas car went over this
route the highway" day or two
ago, and the trip proved revelation
to members OF the party who, from
having read pages of stuff regarding
the roads Of Middle Georgia, expected
to see boulevards.
Could the Indians; the original set
tiers of Monroe, Pike, Spaulding, Hen
ry and CONTIGUOUS counties, come back
for a joy walk over their hunting
paths, they would observe little diff
ference in the trails of that time and
the roads of today Hard, rugged
billy paths then; hard, rugged, hilly
paths now
Modern road building evidently is
not popular up there as in South Geor-
Sia, and no wonder that travellers here
enthuse over the fine roads of Hous-
tor, Macon and Sumter counties, where
road building has been brought to per
lection
From Smithville via Americas to
Macon, the route is indeed a high
way" with the exception of sever
miles near Oglethorpe, not yet com
pleted. Over this stretch of 80 miles
swift car can easily turn off &C
miles an hour.

SUMTER CLAIMS THE FINEST ROADS
ATLANTA To The FLORIDA line

con on the route to Forsyth the scene
changes; modern bodybuilding ceases
there, and we find again the beaten
paths of the Indians.
A car can climb the "Steppes of Mon
roe, or the Peaks of Pike'-not UNI
like Pixies Peak-but a pair Of stout
mules would struggle in pulling a
wagon with three bales of cotton upon
it over any section of that highway
of possibly fifteen to eighteen feet
width and without the semblance of
grade anywhere.
AS stated, the roads are not graded
but for the most part are firm, though
narrow and crooked There are few
straight stretches as great as 500 yards
length, while abrupt crooks and en-
bows a erthe rule rather than the eX-
ception. 1t is easier to go round a
stamp than dig it up, and the easier
course is pursued there.
So abrupt and dangerous are some
of these angles that signboards warn
travellers of possible dangers there.
AS stated, the roads around Crit
fin are the best on the 104 mile stretch
Atlanta to Macon, except the macadam
road Atlanta to Hapeville, ten miles.
And this is the National Highway
The need of missionary work" al
home is painfully apparent there.
1t has been we'll said by road ex-
perts that Sumter has the finest roads
in Georgia, and throughout this part
.of the state the spiri of progress is
far more manifest than in Middle Geor,
gia. Not only is Sumter alive to the
situation, but Bib, Houston, Macon
Lee, Dougherty and the counties be-
yond.
1t is through these that the high
way" the only highway worthy OF
the name, is to be found by the tour
list in search of good roads from Allan
ia to Florida.

happy as other children who have
homes. In order that she may be plac-

for the Georgia Children's Home So
ciety, which now has the little girl
i in charge, has made visit to Ameri-

ia place for her in a home where she
will be in charge of Christian parents
and under the care of those whose
character is thoroughly reputable and
Trustworthy. For this purpose, Mr..
Grower, the state agent of the So
ciety is willing to make another trip
to Americas, in order to make final ar
arrangements for the transfer of the lit
tie girl, if favorable inquiries are re-
ceived concerning her. Any inquiries
for further information may be direct
