Gilman Lien, who was bitten by a
mad dog some weeks ago returned
home here the first of the week from
the hospital at the cities where ne
had been taking treatment. 1t was
a lucky thing for the young fellow
that he went down as soon as he did
as the doctors told him his blood
was badly infected and it might
have gone hard with him had ne de-
layed getting medical aid.
Messrs. Thorson. A. J. Maylott,
Herman Osterman, Peter Johnson,
Ole Haugen and Babe were all called
to Glenwood Monday morning to at
tend district court as witnesses in the
case of John Aaberg against the Berg
boys, Ole and Alfred. and were held
there until Wednesday evening. All
the boys are enthusiastic over the
proposition of going ever there and
getting dollar a day as witnesses
when they had to pay two dollars
day for board and lodging and it is
safe bet if they ever see another law
suit coming their way they will take
to the tall timber where neither the

to serve a subpoena on them.

The uaIiest Beast.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is a monkey, a grewsome look
ing animal called the bearded saki
This is so utterly grotesque beast
that it would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The ug-
illness is not of an amusing kind. but of
an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has sort of beard and countenance
unlike anything else in shape and
lines. The monkey itself is not partic-
ularly savage, but is so hideous that
the natives Of its country, South Amer
lea. say that no beast Of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even hungry
jaguar will starve in a cageful of sakis.

vALDOSTA, GA, July 5.-Before
the end of next week the highway
from Atlanta to Jacksonville will be
completed and the only bad place in
the road will be repaired. It is a
strip of two miles through the edge
of Brooks County, between Lowndes
and Madison, which the Commission
ers of Brooks County refused 10
work because the road was not i'm
portant to that county.
The business men of Valdosta put
up the money to build a splendid
highway through this strip of terri
tory, and a large force of hands have
been working on it for the past month
under the direction of former County
Commissioner Coffee.
Every day since the work was
started large delegations have gone
from this city to look after the work
and to enjoy fish fries which Super
intendent Coffee has been giving to
the visitors on the banks Of the river.

G. w. HANSON WITH OAKLAND:
LOCAL BRANCH DISCONTINUED
Announcement of Much Interest in Automobile
Circles Following Recent Change-Direct
Factory Distributor.

George Hanson has contracted for
the Oakland line of automobiles.
He will be direct factory distributor
o Oakland cars in the entire South
e ,stern States.
The local Oakland branch will be
d soontinued, and the Hanson inter
is. with headquarters in Atlanta,
will become probably the largest dis
t ibuting point for automobiles in the
S outh.
This extraordinary announcement
is of interest to the automobile fra

throughout the South that 1 will

will be operated upon the same lines
and the same policy as a factory
branch"
Is give Wire"
Than George Hanson there is prob
ably no more able automobile man
in the country. Square. honest, af-
fable and pleasant at all times, he
has made a host Of business and per
sonal friends throughout the South
He is always thorough in his bust
ness dealings, quick to seize an op-
portunity, a great booster and an all
around good fellow.
He came to Atlanta in the early
days of the automobile game and
secured the agency for the f. NJ F.
car His "Old Bullet" yhe first F.
NJ. F. shipped South of the Virginia
line, Is we'll remembered for its feats
and records. He built up a selling
organization in the Southern terri
tory that was second to none. His
entire force of workers loved him and
he loved them.
When the South came into the lime
light in automobile circles through the
untiring efforts OF Mr.. Hanson and
men like him, the r. NJ. F. Company
established a factory branch in At
lanta and would listen to no other
name for its manager than George
Hanson. He accepted upon his own
terms and kept Us the great work
started with the agency.
Success Is Predicted.
When the Studebakers purchased
the E. NJ. F. factories, they retained
Hanson as manager and he has re
manned in that capacity until few
weeks ago, when he left his position
with a view toward going back into
business for himself.
That he will be successful in his
new undertaking goes without say
ing. The Oakland line is already ia
vorably known to Atlanta and the
South and Mr.. Hanson is expected
to make it better and better known
and more and more popular.
1t is rumored that the Hanson In
ests will within 8 short time control
other valuable aut omobile lines in
connection with the Oakland. The Of
fices for the present will be located
at 26 James Street.

S. A. E, Engineers
At Goodyear Plant

A number Of the party Of English en-
gineers and members of the s. A: E.,
made a side trip from Cleveland to
tire factory.
The thing that struck the English
visitors most during the visit was the
idea of specialization that is being de-
veloped in American tire factories;
"Several years ago America looked to
Europe for ideas, not only in the .struc-
tural tendencies of foreign motor cars,
but also for tire designing" said E. r.
Hall, chief of experimental department,
and one OF the Goodyear representatives
TO the S A. E But now the tables
are changed. It is safe to say that
America Is several years ahead. In this
country we have special tires made
from different classes of work, special
tires for electrics and gasoline cars, spe-
cial tires for trucks. Tires are being
built more for the particular work they
must do than formerly"

All automobile economy records
were shattered by s. G. Averell, Of
New York, when he drove Franklin
car S6.6 miles on one gallon of gaso-
line Friday, June 20, on Long Island.
The test was made under the auspices
of the Automobile Club of America.
1t was made to show what is pos
sible in the way of mileage Of an
automobile on a given quantity Of
fuel The result was the most re-
markable record ever made by an
automobile, far exceeding anything
yet accomplished in the way of econ
omy operation The car covered $50
miles before it finally came to a stop,
practically doubling the former
worlds gasoline economy record of
46.l miles, also made by a Franklin.
Owner Drives Car.
The car was driven by its owner, S.
c. Averell who was accompanied by
Herbert +. Chase, laboratory chief Of
the Automobile Club of America, un-
der whose direct supervision the
test was made. The car was a four
cylinder Franklin OF eighteen horse
power.
With its two passengers the car
weighed 1855 pounds, or a little less
than a ton. The result, therefore,
showed efficiency Of Sc ton miles a
gallon, which has never been ap-
preached. even by a motor truck, I'M
der the most favorable circumstances
The gasoline was furnished by the
Automobile Club of America.
Long Island Route.
Starting on Queens Boulevard,
Long Island, after the gasoline tank
had been emptied and the official gal
Ion put in. the run led through ia
maica, Mineola and Hicksville to the
Merrick Road at Massapequa. The
same ruote was then followed back.
No one on the run believed that so
miles would be exceeded, but this
mileage brought the car nearly back
to the starting point, and It showed no
signs Of stopping
on it went toward Flushing, back
and down to the island for several
miles, back to the Greensboro Bridge
and then still farther on the Flushing
route, returning toward the starting
point and climbing the hill on the
boulevard before finally coming to a
halt with the speedometer reading
$3.50 miles. 1t had taken more than
five hours and a half to use up a sin
gle gallon of fuel at an average speed
of 10 "a miles an hour
Mr.. Averell did as much coasting
as the nature Of the country would
permit but the up grades made up for
the down, Some traffic stops and
rough road surfaces added to the diff
fiCulties of the test especially to-
ward the end. The car stopped with

How does she do It? The answer
is easy. She has begun to carry
along with her on tiresome trips
these hot summer months modern
lunch baskets for automobile use, and
she sets before herself and her for
tunate companions the most tooth
some edibles that dainty fingers can
devise. Open-air luncheons and sup
pers are accordingly having quite a
vogue. Why. it is frequently asked,
should the motor girl hasten back to
the town house for dinner or supper
in broiling hot sun, when she can
carry along a lunch basket. enjoy a
meal from il and return home in
