Everywhere there was the keenest
enthusiasm. The Scouts were individ-
uany and collectively besieged with
questions about the other routes and
about the one they We're travelling.
In every town scores of the most
- g. v.yzsA
crowded around them to bid them well
come and urge that they have a good
work to say for the Albany Thomasville
route. A long distance telephone mes
sage from Fort Valley received by the
scouts Tuesday night here, brings the
information that Fort Valley and the
towns allied with her on the GAINESVILLE
Fort Valley connection are prepared for
one Of the biggest campaigns they have
ever undertaken, and that at meeting
TO be held in YatesviIle Wednesday all
the allied towns win coordinate their
forces to win the highway.
This. as well as the Fayetteville con-
nection between Atlanta and Griffin. is
matter which must be determined
definitely when the highway route is
announced.
on their homeward trip from the
Valdosta-Tifton route at the end of this
week. the scouts viii go from Hender-
son to Perry, thence to Macon. and from
there via Forsyth. GAINESVILLE, Grif1n
and Jonesboro to Atlanta. Then they
will have the data in hand which is to
determine the route of the highway i'm
mediately south of Atlanta.
In Thomasville the scouts find them
selves between the claims of Boston, in
Thomas county, east of here. and Month
cello. in jefferson county, Fla They
have decided to make their route toner
row via Monticello to Greenville. Madi-
son, Live Oak and Lake City. Three
Monticello cars viii convey them. These
three came up Tuesday night, bringing
+. A. Simon and w. A. Pulaston in one
TO be followed Rter by n. c. Bryan, H.
X Miller and ID. II. Gilbert in the 9TH
ers.
Every indication points to the fact
I that in enthusiasm and interest, the
FLORIDA towns west of Jacksonville rival
/ IL they do not surpass. the Georgia con-
testants for the highway. Florida is
now having its first experience with the
good roads movement
