miles, The Journal-Herald scouts came
in their Primo official car. Wednesday,
under escort every foot of the way. More
mileage would have been made during
the day but for one sole reason. The cor
diality of every county and town along
the run was so warm and insistent that
scouts could make m Roadway

BILE than the sand for the slow progress
made The sand was dry and deer
enough, but it would have mattered moth

make Lake City their night stop.

newly awakened spirit of good roads

Jr., president of the Citizens bank, OF
Madison, explained it, when he said
There has heen more enthusiasm in
this county since the scouts said they
were coming this way than in 20 years
before" Beginning at Moultrie the es-
