der in connection with the death Q

four other members of his family,

mund ran to him exclaiming he had
found his mother dying and when
ne asked her what was the matter

HALF OF TECH TRAIN
ALREADY RESERVED.

ATLANTA, March 25.-Fully half
the capacity of the special train for
the Greater Gerogia Tech Industrial
Tour, which is to cover the state the
week of April 4, has been reserved
and as the capacity of the train is
given out as 125, it is expected that
the reservations will be oversubscrib-
ed before this week is out. Those
who have already made reservations
for the trip, at approximately $120
each, are for the most part business
men and industrial leaders who went
on the first Georgia Industrial Tour,
to the North and East, last Novem-
Der.
The Georgia School of Technol-
ogy has volunteered to conduct this
second industrial tour by reason of
an appeal from business and indus
trial leaders in all parts of the state,
so insistent that it reached the pro-
portions of a demand. The inspira-
tion was largely the immense success
of the northern tour last fall, which
touched seven of the leading indus
trial centers.
The Georgia Tour will reach no
fewer than 35 of the principal cities
and towns in the state. 1t will last
six days, and will be over the lines
of ten of the South's principal rail
ways. The special Pullman train
will contain ample accommodations
of every kind for all the party to oc-
cupy it continuously during the trip,
but the cities and towns on the itin
erary are arranging greetings in the
way of dinners and luncheons when
ever the schedule permits.
The object of the tour is two-fold.
1t will enable the tourists to study at
first hand the gigantic resources of
every part of the Empire State of
the South and the need for develop
ing those resources; and it will en-
able the tourists to bear the message
of industrial development as seen,
also at first hand, by them in the
North and East, where sections by no
means so rich naturally as Georgia
and the South has forged to the front
by cultivation of trained manpower
and leadership.
