ROUSING WELCOME.
Mayor Caldwell. standing in an automo-
bile. delivered a rousing and eloquent
welcome TO the scouts for the good roads
evangelism they were bringing for tie
first time TO Hamilton county. b. A
Deals and a party of friends in Mr.. Deals
car were waiting. for the scouts at Jasper
making two Valdosta cars which were
with the scouts from there onward. For
many miles the scouts ran through wind
storm which swept the sand from fields
and woods and roads and swirled it high
overhead in big clouds that almost dark
ened the sun. This windstorm proved to
be widespread. In many places trees
were blown down across the road. Sew
eral, in fact. had to be cleared from the
road to make way for the scouts. though
the work was done before they arrived.
At Lake Park, Ga, a few miles north
OF the Florida line and IA miles south of
valdosta, the citizens of Valdosta were
assembled in more than a score of cars.
Among those in the numerous company
were E. Parrish. Z. l. Turner, j. T.
Mathis, DIR. Wilson. c. S. Bondurant w

The pupils of the Lake Park school
were drawn up in line on the sidewalk
where the scouts stopped. Each had a
bouquet of flowers under charge of their
I -
/ Hughes, Miss Mabel Corbett and Miss
Ethel McGin, their teachers. They added
still more to the decorations already on
the car while the scouts and everybody
/ else rode out to the Ocean Pond club
/ house a mile away, for a short and re-
freshing rest.
| The cars arrived in Valdosta, $50 miles
from Lake City, shortly after o'clock,
and spent several minutes parading
of hi
Elks club. where a buffet lunch was
served. The scouts were soon under way
again for Triton. under pilotage of the
Triton car. Before leaving Valdosta
they babe farewell TO j. l. Fonda and
the party in his car, who turned back
there to their homes in Madison, Fla.
after "a hours with the scouts.
Several Valdosta cars accompanied the
scouts out of that city, the last of them
turning back after a 12-mile run.
At about that point two Berrien county
cars were encountered on the road. In
one of them from Abel were A. c. Sweat.
chairman of the county commission; II.
L. Loyett, county commissioner; j. L.
Hutchinson, county commissioner, and
B. T. Whitehurst In the other from Ha-
hira, were ]. T. Pope, Mayor r. f. Bar
field, S. NJ. Cliatt and ]. G. Scruggs.
They bore a big banner reading: Der
rien county delegation welcomes the
scout car" They stated that some ten
cars had come to Hahira TO walt for the
scouts. and after the long delay had gone
home on the supposition that the scouts
would spend the night In Valdosta.
When the scouts passed through FL
Dorado at o'clock Thursday evening
with the Triton car in the lead another
car swung into line bringing T. E. Phil |
lips, Mrs. Phillips, f. NJ. Atkins, s. A. |
Martin and c. NJ. South the short dis |
lance remaining into Triton.

ants and other citizens OF Triton and Tiff
