WILL Be OPERATED AS
SEPARATE Unit OF THE
ATLANTIC COAST Line

Reports reached here of a de-
cision of the Interstate Com
merce Commission in the case
of the A. B. & A. Railway trans
fer to the Atlantic Coast Line
System.
1t is understood that the trans
fer was allowed as applied for
and that the new corporation
will take the road over, operat-
ing it as a separate unit from the
parent organizations.
All rumors heretofore current
about the city and especially
those circulated by some of our
sister cities in the immediate
territory, of'a probable removal.
i, of the shops may now be ignored.
1t is generally believed, how
ever that the change will so in
crease the earning power of the
road that enlarged shops may be
necessary and a much larger
number of train service en-
ployees be required at this point,
which in it's nature will be the
division headquarters.

MOTOR TOURING CRAZE
CREATES new INDUSTRY
ON SOUTH'S HIGHWAYS

Atlanta, Ga.-The automobile and
the craze for motor touring has
created new industry. in2the South,
entertaining tourists. One has only
to travel a short distance on one OF
the main highways of the country to
! become convinced that one-half, of
the world is on wheels and the other
half trying to make it's living enter
tanning those who are travelling from
place to place.
The methods offered for entertain
ing tourists are varied and sometimes
unique. They may be signs offering
rooms for tourists. Signs may mere
ly indicate that tourists may camp in
small grove by the payment of a
small sum to the owner, or a we'll
constructed privately-owned or pub
lie tourist camp may be the attraction
offered. IN
Cold drink and lunch stands, filling
stations and other places where trav-
elers may supply their needs have
sprung up all along the highways, but
those wishing to supply the tourists
may not go to the trouble to con-
struct even temporary booth.
Sometimes a grown person or q
boy or girl is seen beside the road
with a basket of fruit and small
sign announcing the price for which
the apples or other tempting products
of the. orchards are offered for sale.
Farm houses are vying with hotels
and boarding houses in the cities and
towns in seeking to furnish lodgings
and meals for tourists;.sy Private
homes in cities and towns have fitted
up their spare rooms and posted
signs telling those who drive through
the streets, that they viii entertain
tourists. ~ = 81.
The idea seems to prevail that the
tourists are leaving trail of money
as they dash across the country and
a scramble is apparently on to see
who shall get the major portion of
this cash. However, there are so
many trying to get in on the pie-cut-
ting that it seems impossible for
everyone to obtain even q small share.
and when divided out, the person who
gets enough to pay him for his time,
trouble and expense must be un-
usually lucky. ~

GRANDDAUGHTER OF TOM
WATSON FORMS BOOK
CONCERN AT THOMSON


Atlanta, Ga.-Writings Of the late
Thos. E. Watson, author and states
man, will soon be available in all
parts of the country as the result of
the formation of q book publishing
company at his home town, Thom-
son, Ca, according to announcement
just made here. The concern will be
known as the Tom Watson Book COM
pany, with it's plant and offices in
Thomson, and the granddaughter of
the late Senator, Mrs. Georgia Lee
Brown, owner of the Watson copy
rights controlling the majority of the
stock in the newly organized COM
pany.
In addition to the standard and his
torical works of Mr.. Watson, the COM
pany will republish and distribute
many smaller books and booklets,
such as prose miscellanies, sketches,
life and speeches of Thos. E. Watson,
Political and Economic Handbook,
Roman Catholic Hierarchy, House Of
Hapsburg, Ancient Civilization and
others.
Among Mr.. Watson's best known
books are his Story of France and
Life of Napoleon. These two books
are used in this country and abroad
by some of the leading colleges as
reference and text books. The vol
ume of sales of these; books in the
United States, as well as in France,
was highly encouraging to Mr.. Wat
son during his lifetime, it was stated,
and caused him to continue produc-
ing other historical works, such as
Life and Times of Thomas jefferson,
Bethany, a story of the Old South,
Waterloo, Life and Times Of Andrew
Jackson, a story of the South and
West, and the Last Campaign of Ma
polean, the latter never having been
published as it was completed just
before his death in Washington in
September, 1922.
AS a candidate at one time for
president of the United States, and
at another time candidate for vice
president, Mr.. Watson made deep
in every section of the
country by his oratorical ability and
powers. AS the origina-
tor of rural free delivery of mails, he
was known in the most isolated parts
of the country. His constructive
work in both the House and Senate
at Washington, together with his ht-
erary writings, made him national
fgr~a.

Anti Can't Reunion

Saturday evening, May 20, the
VIM. Shilling home on the Marietta
pike was the scene Of unique So
cial affair The Anti Can't Sunday
school class of McKendree church
held reunion celebrating the 10th
anniversary of the organization.
Some 10 persons were present to en-
joy the bounteous pot luck supper,
program, and renewing of friend
ships.
Mrs Eva Shilling Elliott was in
charge of the program. Miss Caro-
line Tavenner, the present president,
welcomed the old members Of the
class and their families. A history
of the class given by Forrest Par
miter emphasized the following:
March IT, 1916, the Anti Can't class
was organized at the home of the
teacher Miss Eva Shilling. During
the ten years of it's existence this
class has had about 100 social meet
ings, thus adequately meeting the
needs OF the young people of Nc
Kendree neighborho ood. This class
was responsible for the placing of
piano in the church. 1t, too, has
done its part in contributing in mis-
sion work. 1T is probable that $50
names could be found on complete
roll of the class. The future of the
class, as Miss Gladys Glenn foretold
it, is as full of bright prospects as
the past has been glorious C. S.
GA. Of
class, and superintendent of McKen-
dree Sunday school, spoke OF the
part of the Anti Can'ts in com
munity program. He felt that the
present congenial and progressive
attitude existing in McKendree
neighborhood is due in great mea-
sure 10 cooperation OF the younger
element of the community AS q
community leader Mr.. Strong felt
that the spiritual life of the Anti
Can'ts was the force which really
had made them a successful organi-
zation, Rev. j. l.. Nuzum, as pastor
of McKendree charge, expressed his
surprise at the existence of such an
organization. He could only urge
that the class continue to put first
things first" and thus continue to be
a power in the community and in
the lives OF its members. Miss
Christine Shilling OF the present
class delighted with vocal solo.
The program came to close by the
singing of Fair McKendree, song
written by Miss Mary Johnson, one
of the original members of the class.
The affair was so thoroughly en-
joyed by all, that an alumni organi-
zation twas formed, and meeting
planned for every year, Mrs. Eva
Elliott was chosen president Of this
organization, Forest Parmiter, vice
president, and Mrs Helen Still, sec
retary-treasurer
That the Anti Can't class has been
n vital force In the lives of the youth
of MaKendree was shown by the
large attendance at the reunion. Sew
