THE WEST INVADING
 THE EAST

The western lines which will have exhibits at the American Land and Irrigation Exposition, in New York next month, are doing their utmost to exceed anything that will be shown by eastern lines. The Northern Pa- cific has representatives visiting all the localities along it's lines, gather ing exhibits ranging in chafacter from enormous potatoes weighing two pounds apiece to heads of wheat which will run sixty-five bushels to the acre. Exhibits of fruit and vege- tables of all kinds, both fresh and processed, will be displayed, and the Northern Pacific Commissary depart ment has built miniature train made out of sugar, approximately ten feet long. This will be lighted by electri- city, and will present a realistic view of the North Coast Limited emerging from Cascade Tunnel
 A full freight car load Of illustrated books and pamphlets will be brought on for distribution and a colossal map of the Northern Pacific system in de- tail will be feature of the exhibit. The railway has offered a prize of $500 in gold for the best exhibit of twenty-five boxes of apples, competi- tion open to the world. President Howard Elliott of the Northern Pa cific. has also dcra.ad 160 acres of Montana grain lanA 60 be awarded to 6 visitor to the Snow by popular allotment This lana will be worth S3, 900 as soon as the settler erects his house and barn on it.

'"They have secured a few hundred thousand dollars by their mendicant pleas, but they have damaged us to the amount of millions, not to speak of injuries worse than financial losses. Their readiness to ask and receive any sort of gifts has presented the South before the world as a poverty stricken, disease infected, ignorant people, among whom no intelligent inn migrant would wish to live, however rich and cheap the soil of our section may be. It is time to call halt on all this persistent mendicancy.
 Our people are able and willing to solve their own educational problems. We do not need to beg any man to pay our school bills or to teach us how to conduct our educational insti- tutions. A superserviceable Southern association may as well dissolve or d1- rect it's missionary efforts to some other section.
 Much ado has been made about the hookworm in the South and ROcke- feller has seen fit to give a large sum to be used in purging Southern people of alleged lazy bugs
 s'It is enough to say that any and all of our people are quite able to pay their own doctors bills. We are able to treat our own patients and We would be still more able to care for them if our section were not so con- stantly advertised to it's hurt by our mendicant theorists and reformers.
 What the South needs very much is to be let alone. She has been the clinical subject for all sorts of theorists and reformers long enough.

the trail now being followed by the Raymond Whitcomb tourists This Southern route, first laid out by A. l.. Westgard of the Touring club of America and Ray McNamara, in a Premier car in 1910, is regarded as the only practical route for fall and winter touring, and is open all winter. In fact, it is exclusively a winter trail as the low altitude and intense heat of the summer months make it inadvisable and practically impossible then. Coincidentally Pilot Westgard is also at the head of the Raymond Whitcomb caravan.
 The central trail is practically inn possible in winter on account of the mountain snows and blizzards. Don- ner's lake in the Sierra Nevada moun- tains, near the California line and one of the most picturesque spots on the long route, marks the point of a ter rible tragedy of the early pioneer days. Donner's entire expedition consisting of 200 men, women and children per- ished there in an October blizzard that came suddenly and unexpectedly.
 The year of 1912 is expected to see ocean-to-ocean touring extremely pop- ular. More transcontinental trips for next year have already been planned, it is said, than have been made in the past altogether. The glowing re- ports of the pleasures of transcontin- ental touring taken back East by the forty wealthy tourists in the ocean-to- ocean tour of Premier cars have stim- ulated the interest in touring to an nprecedented degree and transcon- tinental parties next year promise to be So common as to attract little or no attention

MT. Allison is a California teach CT with a salary of $1,S00 a year. He has before him the possibility of q college position and the probability Of a long life with plenty of work. Mrs. Allison brews and bakes, and sews and gardens. Their financial outlook Is very limited, for the average pay Of men teachers in the United States Is not large, and only few college po- sitions go up into the thousands. Neither MT. nor Mrs. Allison has any illusions about fortunate speculations, or specially created chairs in uni versailles, with vast salaries. They real ize that their prosperity depends on what they can save out of their sTnaIf but reasonably certain income.
 Z Now, Mrs. Allison has lot of bus mess sense, and she began her house keeping by organizing it on the basis of the least they could live on-put their expenses almost at the level Of subsistence, as you may say, and then made every expense beyond that tell for their business advantage. Mrs. A. lison didn't begin the budget plan consciously, but her system of ac- counting developed naturally into a habit of forecasting her expenses, and that grew into the carefully planned schedule which follows:

OCTOBER SONG.

T come to give you storm and cloud and sun and drizzling rain; The wealth of summers treasure
 count it all my gain. Her grass and flowers and luscious & fruits andsall her golden store Are mine, Her gardens and her fields
 shall they adorn no more, The tree toads and the katy-dids are chanting in the trees, But will bring my whitening frosts their murmuring notes to freeze The robin and the bluebird's song, the plaintive nightingale, And all the blithsome feathered clan I'll -banish from the vale. Then bring me my gorgeous tints, my pallet and my brush, I'll paint with royal glory each leaf of tree and bush; The naples brown and scarlet, the sumacs black and red, And OCT the graves of summers hopes these bright memorials spread. With grass and weeds and tangled vines I'll rear lofty pyre, And all that summers garnered shall be fagots for my fire; The ashes and the embers of the sum- mer's store I'll keep And her foeSts and her meadows I will croon them all to sleeep

 AVERAGE ONE A DAY
Southern Route Alone Is Suitable for
 Fall and Winter Touring

Officials of the Touring Club of America, with headquarters in New York City, advise that during the past several weeks there has been an average of a party a day starting from New York. with Los Angeles and San Francisco the destination. The Raymond Whitcomb caravan of five cars, in which seats were sold to all who cared to make the long trip, is the most .pretentious touring event since the caravan of twelve Premiers with owners at the wheels blazed the way acrossa the continent in August. The Whitc0fnb tourists are now near ing the half way point.
 The transcontinental touring season has not yet ended, the close being several weeks away or until after the eastern roads become impossible. However, practically ali the tourists yet to make the trip this year will follow the old Santa Fe trail. going southwest from Kansas City through Santa Ee Albuquerque, Phoenix, and San Diego. to Los Angeles.

BEGGARS HURT SOUTH.
Bishop Lays Failure to Get Immi-
 grants to Them.


 Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 24-"Mischievous mendicancy" is responsible for the failure of the immigration tide to turn Southward, according to Bishop Warren Candler of the Southern Meth odist Church. In an interview yes terday the Bishop said:
 More than the failure of the rail- ways to advertise the resources of the South and more than the race prob lem, there are certain groups of South erners who have injured the South al the North and in Europe by mis- chievouS mendicancy.
 These are they who have been ready to run to Northern millionaires for money to endow our colleges and even for money to cure the alleged diseases of some of our people. There by they have advertised the South as a section teeming with ignorance, stinginess, mortal diseases and degen- crates who were made degenerates by their ailments.

WILL LEAVE FOR DAKOTA
But EXPECT TO return
Americas Family to Depart
For Northwest

Beginning a long trip to the bleak
fields of North Dakota, Mr.. c. n.
Williamson and family left Americus
yesterday, though with sincere re-
greet. Several months ago the family
came here and bought the former
Wheatley farm near Myrtle Springs
Recently Mr. Williamson was sum-
moned to North Dakota by the illness
of his aged father, and as he will
probably remain there some time, he
resold the Wheatley place through
Arthur & Westbrook to Mr.. Frank
Joiner, of Ola, S. c. for the sum Of
$500. Mr.. Joiner and family will
come to Americas next week to reside
upon this handsome farm. Mr.. VIII
Hanson and family left Americas
with sincere regret and declared their
intention of returning here as soon as
possible, again to reside.

TOURISTS APPRECIATED
AMERICUS' HOSPITALITY
Extended Them in Recent
State Tour

That Americas hospitality, as ex-
tended the round the state" automo-
bile tourists during their one night
sojourn here recently, was fully APP
preciated is attested by the follow
ing letter of thanks from Mr.. Fred
Lewis, of the Atlanta Constitution, adj
dressed to President Wheatley, of
the Board of Trade:
December ), 1911
Hon. Crawford Wheatley, President
Board of Trade, Americas, Ga<
Before We get away from the tour
around Georgia, just concluded, l
want to thank you personally for your
kind and generous assistance to me
in working it out, and through you as
president of the Board of Trade,
wish to thank Americas in the name
of every member of the tour party for
the generous hospitality shown them
while in that city.
Americas certainly did everything
properly, and | have heard many
words of warm appreciation from
those in the party.
The full force and effect of the tour
is yet to come. For one thing, it has
just begun to bring into prominence
the ACCOMPLISHMENTS route,
and we certainly want to keep that
going. Whenever there is anything
We can do here in that or any other
direction to help out, do not hest
tate to call on us.
Thanking you again, and with warm
personal regards, / am, sincerely
yours FRED LEWIS.
