new HIGHWAY IS AMONG
BEST in The STATE
Twelve Mile Stretch About
Completed

Americas motorists who recently
have made the trip hence to Albany
have only highest praise for the new
highway between Smithville and Lees
burg, just about completed. 1t was
formerly, one of the two weak links in
the chain over the Andersonville-
Thomasville Highway, but it is beau
ty now and the subject of highes.

1t was a long time in building, bat
it is now a splendid reality and one
of the best in Georgia.
The new Lee county road between
Smithville and Leesburg runs in &
straight line a distance of more than
twelve miles, of which nine miles have
been completed. 1t is forty feet wide
and parallels the Central of Georgia
Railway. There is scarcely a bend in
it at any point, the road stretching out
ahead as far as the eye can reach.
On this road, as on those in Sumter
and Macon counties, the driver can
give his car all the gas it will take
and let it shoot ahead.
Although one of Georgias smallest
counties in point of population, and
with an excess of negroes, Lee county,
in the construction of this splendid
pike, has proven herself among the
most progressive.
This particular piece of road will be
a part of the route Of the 1911 fall
tour around the state 1t will be COM
pleted considerably before the tour is
held, and with it's completion the

his negro fireman badly scalded when
their engine blew up at an early hour
yesterday morning while pulling a

ed accident occurred.
The Central special was going over
division of the Atlantic Coast Line.
While running at moderate speed The
front of the boiler blew up with loud
report, bringing the train to a stand

That Engineer Strickland and his
fireman escaped with their lives seems
remarkable.

His injuries, while very painful, are
not regarded as serious. The colored
fireman was sent to Columbus, where

 It is said out of every ten men who follow prospecting die poor. The men who stake them, however, (and remain comfortably in town), often have better chance of becoming rich. But what would this country be without the prospector-the conqueror of the hills, the blazer of the trails, the hard jest of pioneers!
 Men follow one another like sheep, but there must be leader. In stam- pede each knows his chance of getting in on rich ground is as good as. the next mans.
