WANTS To KNOW Of
S0UTH'S HIGHWAY
WELL KNOWN PUBLISHING
ON THE SUBJECT.

Feeling that automobile touring in
the Southern states, especially Geor-
Sia, during the winter season is in
its infancy, Henry MacNair, publisher
of the Scenic Motorway, the Inland
Motorway, the Northern Motorway
and the Dixie Motorway, has asked
the boards of trade, chambers oil
commerce and state good roads as
sociations in the South for sugges-
tions to be incorporated in the new
editions of his booklets. 1t is prob
able that a large number of facts on
good roads will be accorded to him,
showing the progress that has been
made since year ago.
Mr. MacNair, who is one of the p'o-
neers in the matter of routing auto
mobile courses, keeps in touch with
road development over the United
States He can recite hour after
hour just what the different states
ard localities have done for the sake
of transportation over land In his
publications he has one hobby and
that is accuracy The next editions
of his booklets will be the most com
prehensive ever issued by him.
In South Georgia the matter of
road Improvements has been thrust
upon the attention of the thinking
people in telling manner of late.
The movement has gained such a
weight, it is felt, that highway com
mission bill will be passed by the
next legislature.
