THE GREEN CIRCLE
GOLF BALL
The Green Circle Golf Ball made a
wonderful record during the year of
1909. The Open Championship of the
United States was won with it, and in a
great many tournaments throughout the
year the winners found The Green

driving, approaching and putting.

The Misses Little.
Nay, nay, fair co-eval and gifted Me
dium, you interpret not aright the mes
sage of the zephyrs, for they whisper
with sweet incense-laden breath :
uThe Capital Highway is steadily be
coming an accomplished fact, stretching
its smooth and sinuous length along
from Augusta to Aiken, Columbia, Cam
den, Ilartsville, Darlington, Chcraw,
Rockingham, Pinehurst, Ealeigh, Dur
ham and many another lovely village of
the plain, to the effete and distant
North."
And hark, once again, gentle Medium,
to the voices of the South wind, saying :
"There are two separate and distinct
automobile highway projects, the Cap
ital and the National, which you, like
many another, have confused. Let your
mind dwell on this for a moment, and
get the fact cleaily fixed in your
thoughts.
"The Capital Highway is planned to
connect Florida with Washington-, the
route coming by Augusta, Columbia and
Raleigh.
"The National project starts at
Atlanta and following the general
course of the Southern Railway, passes
through Greenville, Charlotte and
Greensboro, thence over the mountains
to Roanoke, Virginia, up the Shenan
doah Valley to Harper's Ferry and on by
Harrisburg to Philadelphia.
"Do you get that?
"The National follows the Southern.
"The Capital follows the Seaboard.
"The National crosses the Savannah
river at Knox's bridge and proceeds
thence by Fair Play, over Little Beaver
Dam creek to Anderson, Pelzer and
Greenville. That is the route which
was selected by the joy riders represent
ing the Atlanta Journal and New York
Herald who visited Abbeville last June.
They never had any intention of locat
ing their route via the Medium's thriving
and happy home. It is the Journal
Herald Abbeville - Greenwood route
which has gone where the woodbine
twines, where the ferns and the fond
ling grass say "stay," and the dew
berry dips for to work delay.
"As the two enterprising and stren
uous papers spent $30,000 of their own
easy money in promoting the project
and, incidentally, advertising their
philantrophy, modesty and other virtues
and boosting their circulation, they
certainly had the inalienable right to
select any route they choose, even
though it penetrated quagmires and
climbed red clay hills and rugged moun
tains. While Anderson, Greenville and
Spartanburg counties have excellent dry
weather roads, it will be many years
before the so-called National Highway
becomes a negotiable touring road in
wet weather, and it never will be a pos
sibility as a winter route until the sea
sons change.
"The only good, sure, all-the-year-
round touring highway between the
South and the North will be the Capital
route because it traverses a section where
the roads are as fine in winter as in sum
mer, where snow is practically un
known and where the best hotels and
golf links are to be found at the end of
each day's journey, from Pinehurst to
Palm Beach.
"And such progress has been made in
actually constructing the Capital High
way that 250 miles of it, connecting
Augusta and Pinehurst, will be formally
opened on April 18, less than 30 days
hence.
"Come, distinguished Medium, bring
your $10,000 imported motor car, join
the Sociability run leaving Columbia on
the date above given, and see the splen
did road we have.
"The Capital Highway is the route
which will get the travel, too, because
the hostelries appeal to the fastidious
motorists.
"The great resorts of the Carolinas,
Georgia and Florida are right now form
ing a combination which means much
for the Capital Highway. We sincerely
wish Abbeville could move down 50
miles and get on the route because the
cities and towns along it will be fortu
nate provided they cooperate. The
Highway is a business proposition and,
in business, nobody gets something for
nothing. As we understand it, the
towns along the National did not co
operate much and they have not re
ceived much, and probably never will
from that source.
"The Capital route's strength lies
largely in the tremendous influence and
advertising by the winter resorts.
"One resort alone, Pinehurst, spends
$30,000 a year on advertising, and
with Camden, Aiken, Augusta, Savannah,
Jacksonville and the Florida East Coast
points, the total must run up to $250,000
annually.
"The towns which spend a few hun
dred dollars now in helping the project
in its infancy will continue to draw divi
dends on their investment so long as
biting blizzards drive Northern people
to seek the delights only to be found in
the Nation's winter playgrounds here in
the South.
"By the end of 1910 there will be
000,000 autos in this country, and by the
end of 1911, upwards of 1,000,000. It is
estimated that in five years there will be
6,000,000 motor cars in the United
States. The auto is here to stay. Every
auto owner is more or less of a tourist.
Realizing the immense possibilities of
auto touring patronage, the men who
have millions invested in Southern win
ter resorts are getting behind the Capi
tal Highway. They will see that it
is widely advertised and undoubtedly
new resorts will spring up along the
route, because those already established
could not accommodate this season's
business. We look to see a dozen new
resorts in the next few years. It is al
most inevitable that they will be located
along the Capital Highway, which is
destined to become one of the greatest
factors in the South's development.
And the cities like Columbia, which are
now helping to pay the freight, know
what they are doing !
