South Atlantic Special, En- Route
May 28.-The Mid-Westeri tour by
representatives OF the South Atlantic
ports is rapidly drawing to an end
We have just one more state to pass
acknowledgements and then vel
touch dear old Georgia. Oh, Ohio and
Michigan and Indiana and Illinois and
Iowa and Missouri and Tennessee are
all delightful states, with many bean
s-tifas spots; they're ahead of us in
many respects: in, manufacturing, in
parks, in bOulevards, I'm other things
but every Georgian on tie train, who
has had IAN opportunity to see all OF
These states. is saying, give me old
Georgia y
Not Because any ono has grown tir-
ed Of the trip; no indeed, there was
too much doing every minute. the PEG
pie were too hospitable in their treat
ment, the sights were new every day
the industries were different and
there was always something new te
attract us, but it Is SIMPLY because at
ter all old Georgia is the Lest STATE
in the Union.
Probably one of the busiest days
spent by the party was in st Louis
that great Missouri city which claims
Q great many more people than the
1920 census gave her, which, it is un
sderstoed will drop from the .fourtl to
the sixth city of the United States, De

have passed her. The digures Of the

nounced.
We saw many sights in tbs other
states in the way Of manufacturing
industries; we saw jitney turned
out OF Ford's plant in Detroit every
half minute, we watched the people
OF Cleveland build White struck
in four minutes, We saw Davenport
Iowa, turn out motor pillow every
minute and half, we saw Chicago
nurder, butcher and prepare for ship
ment four cows every minute, and
many members of the party have
gince regretted :hs. sight; we saw
Kansas City equal this record in the

And then we saw exactly why ey

But the thing that interested u
