some in velvet gowns.

Those who make tourist statistics their

On the road they come in AUTOMOBILES,

in their last stages. They come with
wealth and without. OF the latter there's
the party that stalled midway the ST.
Johns river bridge. After paying their
bridge toll they were bereft of finances
and the gasoline gave out. They pushed
the car to where the bridge slants sharp
ly and let. 1t rool to the bottom where
a filling station stood. They bartered the
family wedding ring for gasoline and
went on their way.
This party started out of New York
with all sorts of money, they said. They
bought a second hand car for the trip and
it bankrupted them en- route. One of the
front tires had a. bicycle inner tube.
Near the Georgia line this party en-
countered bad roads on the Brunswick
route, they said. Several negroes stand

mud-hole and then offered to pull them
out for two dollars each. They were told
to push but once the party had reached
hard ground one of them banished pls-
toll and commanded the negroes to flee.
They did.
A similar experience was related here
today by C. Sparks, who with his wife,
arrived from New York. Sparks declared

MRS. FELToN's APPOINTMENT

THE impossible has happened" the
Wheeling Register announces. That Geor-
gia, of all states in the Union, should have
the first woman senator, is a seven-day
wonder to the editorial writer's of the
country. For Georgia." the New York
Herald says, lis one Of the states where
the men insisted that woman's place was

But whether Governor Hardwicks ap-
pojrtnent Of Mrs. w. II. FELTON, to sue
coed Tom Watson in the United States
Senate until a successor shall have been
elected" is triumph for women or a
very hollow honor with sharp political
slant is a subject that is causing what
would be called in Senator Feiton's dis
tract right smart" discussion in the pa
pers.
'Since Cyrano de Bergerac ceased to
swing his plumed hat grandly through

there has been no such graceful gesture
as that of Governor Hardwick," and even
IL it can be discounted merely as "chival-
ry," the Grand Rapids Herald contends
that ''the world sees too little of chivairy
in public life," and "Georgia's governor,
with the cultural backing of the old
South, supplies a refreshing and heart
warming example"
To Georgia goes "the high honor" the

Rev. Mr.. McWhorter took his text

there is nothing more dramatic i'll
