coming more popular every year as
summer playground for the people of
Georgia and neighboring states, they
enjoyed the hospitality of the Georgia
Railway and Power company, which
rendered them a barbecue at Tallulah,
and of the people of Clayton, who en-
tertained them in their homes and fed
of the mountain country, and saw for
themselves that, far from being rob-
bed of its scenic beauty by reason of
the great power development, this de-
lightful country is now more attractive
than ever, and, in addition to all it's
natural charms, is now enjoying many
comforts and an industrial prosperity,
impossible under old conditions.
After the barbecue at Tallulah, the
editors were shown the power plant at
the foot of the gorge of the Tallulah
river, and then visited the dam at the
head of the gorge; and most of them,
for the first time, saw the lake which
has here been created Then all board
ed the special cars for Clayton, where
they were taken in hand by the hospi-
table citizens and shown every courte-
sy. Very few of the editors had previ-
ously been north of Tallulah Falls, and
they were all greatly impressed with
the natural attractions of the country
and the evident fertility of its soil.
From the days of the earliest settle
ments in Georgia, tourists journey to
admire the wonderful falls at Tallulah,
and seekers after health and happi-
ness made their summer homes in
this delightful region. When the Tai
lulah Falls railway was built from Cor
nelia to Tallulah Falls, travel was
made easy and popular resort was
developed and, with every passing
year. has increased in favor. With the
extension of the line from Tallulah
Falls through the famous Rabun Gap
to Franklin, N. c., a great stretch of
healthful and beautiful country was
made easy of access to all who seek
a cool place in which to spend the
summer months.
While Tallulah Falls was the first
resort in this territory, there are now

Franklin has become a summer play
ground and health resort.
One OF the great advantages of this
section as a summer vacation land forI
Georgia people is its accessibility. !
Cornelia, the junction point of the Tall
lulah Falls railway with the Southern
railway, is only Is miles from Atlanta,
where good, connections are made with
all through trains of the Southern and
other lines, affording facilities for
speedy and comfortable trip from ev-
cry town in Georgia.
The Tallulah Falls railway offers
the best of service. In the past two
years, there have been great improve
ments, heavy expenditures having been
made for betterment to roadways and
for new equipment. The new steel
bridge over the Tallulah river is one
of the handsomest and most substan-
tial structures of its kind to be found
anywhere. 1t is four hundred and
eight feet long, the steel Orders rest
ing on concrete piers over one hun
dred feet high. which are anchored to
the granite bedrock of the mountain
chasm. The bridge takes the place of
wooden structure, which has been
abandoned, and many wooden trestles
have also been replaced by permanent
earth fills.

many others rivaling it for popular
favor, and, in fact, the entire line from
Corneiia to Franklin is dotted with re-
sort hotels and summer cottages, which
are making this section famous as a
land for delightful summer vacations.
Among the popular resorts are: Cor
nelia, Demorest, Gainesville, Turner
Vile, Tallulah Lodge, Tallulah Falls,
Mathis, Tiger, Clayton, Mountain City.
Rabun Gap, billiard and Franklin
Highlands, N. c., is easily reached from
billiard and Rabun Gap is to be the
railway station for the Rabun colony,
a summer home club, which has been
organized by number of prominent
Georgians.
Tallulah Falls has an altitude of
1869 feet, with its numerous hotels
and boarding houses within sound OF
the roar of the waters pounding away
at the gray granite walls of the great
gorge, and within easy walking dis
lance from many points of vantage
from which can be seen the falls and
the marvellous chasm which through
thousands of years of ceaseless effort
they have cut through the mountain
heights, is naturally the best known
of the resorts, but the entire stretch

CARL MAYS Goes TO
THE BOSTON RED S0X

Carl Mays, former Irrigator, later
sold to Portland. where he finished the
1918 season with the Northwestern
league team and played this year with
the Providence team, has been sold to
the Boston Red Sox and another Boise
player has gone up.
1t will be remembered that Mays
was drafted by the Providence club
Of the International league last fall.
which was then controlled by the De-
troit Americans. Both Mays and He'll
mann were taken from the Colts on the
recommendation of Fielder JONES' who
was looking after the interests Of the
Detroit club on the coast, but Mays
was sent to Providence. as it was be-
lieved he needed a year of class LA
experience before going to the majors.
Walter McCredie slipped a cog in not
pulling Mays over from the Northwest
ern to the Coast before the drafting
season started, and admitted this later,
as he had no idea how good a twirler
Mays really was until he saw him
pitch against the Beavers in the annual
clash between the two Portland teams,
in which Mays made the Coast league
pennant winners look foolish.
The controlling interest in the Provi-
dence team was sold by Detroit to the
Boston Americans several months ago,
which accounts for the sale of Mays to
the Red Sox, instead Of to the Tigers.
Following his record of last year.
Mays started poorly at Providence this
spring, and it was rumored he wasn't
-
soon started winning regularly. and is
now not only the winning pitcher of
the Providence club, but is one of the
league leaders. Other clubs have been
trying to purchase him, and it was a
certainty that he would have been
drafted by one of the majors had not
Boston stepped in and protected its
rights by purchasing him before Aug.
&c. preventing any drafts being put
in for the blonde twirler.

CHANGES IN CONTRACT
AUTHORIZED BY BOARD

The state land board at meeting
late yesterday authorized a number of
changes in the new contract between
the state and the Twin Falls North
Side Land & Water company where
by the future sales of water rights,
but not present ones held by settlers,
are affected. Where the company was
put to unusual expense in providing
water for certain of the lands unsold,
the price Is raised. Where the settler
is at disadvantage the price is low
cred.
d. c. MacWatters and Victor o.
Johnson, representing the company,
appeared before the board and asked
for the changes. They had teen dis
cussed before the board by represen-
tatives Of the settlers and the company
some time ago and are said to have
been satisfactory as they in no way
have anything to do with present con-
tract holders.

Entries for the state tennis tourna-

as large a number of players enrolled
as had been hoped Drawings will take
place this afternoon for the opening

to clean away a large number of the
preliminary matches in both singles
and doubles. Play will commence at
10 o'clock Monday morning and
matches will be pulled off just as rap
idly as possible. All of the courts,
both ladies' and mems will be in use.
They have been put in fast form.
Defender of the state championship
in women's singles, Miss Mabel Ander
son of Lewiston, made her first ap-
pearance on the courts late yesterday.
She is here prepared to defend her
title. Her opponents have not changed
since last year. 1t now looks as though
Miss Margaret Byron will be her prin-
cipal opponent in the finals. Miss By
ron gave Miss Anderson a hard contest
year ago. She Is playing stronger
tennis this year than last The same
thing is true of Miss Anderson.
The fact that A. B. Eaton wrenched
his knee makes 1t somewhat doubtful
if he will be able to show his old time
form in the fight for the championship
in singles. Last year he was defeated
by B. Q. Pettengill, challenger. This
year another strong player has been
developed in Kenneth Boardman, con-
nected with the clerical force of the
governors office. Mr.. Boardman has
developed one of the best and most
certain strokes seen on the courts this
season. Pettengill is in good form to
defend his title and is practicing daily.

Walt MasOn's Sermon or Flies

The summertime will soon arrive, that season which IS hot test; then every man in town should strive to be the leading swattist. For steaming winds and brazen skies, which make the cornhelds flourish, will also multi ply the flies, encourage them and nourish. And flies are such pesky crew, they make one's reason totter; and so the first thing that you do should be to buy a swatter. The good old doctors disagree whene'er they have a chance to-; one doc goes haw, another gee-we can't guess where they prance to. But on this ques- ton of the flies, they speak up as one sawbones; they tell us that we ought to rise and wade in blood and rawbones. So haste and send your little son, or failing him, your daughter, to hardware dealer with the mon to buy a trustv swatter. And thus we'll benefit the race--that isn't far
 fetched, is ite We'll make the
