From One Hundred To
Two Hundred Cars Ex

Saturday After
noon.
BLAZING THE WAV
Scout Car Representing The Auto
Association, The (iarages,
Ktc., Visited the Springs
Tuesday—Request to
Clear the Track.
The big Piedmont Springs
tour of the Winston-Salem Auto
j mobile Association will be made
next Saturday evening, June 27,
provided too much rain does rot
occur to render the road im
practicable for the run. Tues
day Messrs. J as. A. Cray, Jr.,
President of the Winston-Salem
Automobile Association; Powell
(lilmer, of the Motor Company:
Paul Montague, of the Monttgue
Carage, and Mr. Shore, of the
Cadillac Carage, came up in the
scout car to inspect the route,
and make the necessarv arrange
ments at Piedmont Springs hott 1
for the accommodation of the
tourists. From 500 to 100(1 per
sons it is expected will lunch at
the hotel. The scout party
erect:d danger signs at all im
portant curves and hills, to wain
drivers to go sbw. The cars
will begin to be checked out
from Winston-Salem at
o'clock P. M. t one-half minute
apart. This means they will
begin arriving at Piedmont
i about P. AI. Each car will
be numbered, and no one will
be allowed to pass another, un
less some accident should put
the car in front out of commis
.
sion.
This is the biggest advertis
ing event in the history of Stokes
county, and hundreds of people
will witness the passing through
of the motor cars with intense
interest. There will easily be
SIOO,OOO worth of machines in
line. The automobile people are
very anxious that there should
be no accidents, and they re
quest through the association
that a clear track may be given
the cars as they come through.
It is estimated that each car
will carry five passengers on an
average. This means the tour
will bring from 500 to 1,000 per
sons. It will be a very interest
ing pageant, and one that will
live long in the memory of our
people.
If a person desires to know
what the Agricultural and Me
chanical Colloge is doing for the
State, a trip through any sec
tion will reveal its work. On
our farms, in our dariries, in our
orchards, in our cotton mills, and
machine shops, in our light plants,
in the surveying parties of our
railways, everywhere that pro
gressive industrial operations are
under way, you will find men
who were fitted at this busy com
mon-sense College. More and
more each year ambitions young
men are traning their steps to
West Raleigh for life training.
