TOOK FOUR WEEKS (CONTINUM4 FKOM PAOE3 ONE) Roanoke to Itocky Mount we encoun 1 tered the worst piece of road durlnß , 1,10 wl >"le trip. 11l fact Hie whole 60 ! miles from itonuoke to Martinsville. '0" ' Vl| s n fearfully had . food to travel, especially the first , burton miles out of Roanoke. It wns very dangerous most of the way, very r-harp climliH, sharp turns, most of the lime thirty feel to turn in, and Htill going up at an angle of about 45 de i grees, cobble-stones the si e of n I hickory nut lo the sine of a base ball. ■ lO drive over. Put In time we came j through without any trouble. After Jeavlng Rocky Mount there are two i had fords,, but not dangerous, If you know how to cross, which wo wen , told hew to do. We continued on to Winston Salem, N. (\, having our sec ond puncture just before reaching there. Hugh Conrad has returned to Law I ton, Mich., after a visit here with hit 1 aunt, Mrs. I’liil Summers. Winston Salem is a very pretty place, to some extent a resort city. From there we drove to Concord, N C. After entering North Carolina we did not have such good roads, having to contend witli red clay ones, which are very bad in wet weather, and that’s what we got a few miles before we reached Concord, it raining nr hard as I ever saw it rain, causing us to use chains for the first time, ven nice to put on in a driving rain. From Concord, N. 0., to Charlotte, N. C. and then to Lancaiture, S. C., 4C miles, we had fearful red clay road; to go over, made so by the rain the day tiefore, and some torn up only p few days previously, and being repair ed. Had to be pulled out of a mud hole, Hie only time on the trip, during t!.is day’s drive. Got into Lancasturt about 6:30 p. m. and stayed all night Fram I.ancasture to Columbia, S. C staying there all night. From Ooium bia, continuing south, we passet through Aiken, S. <’.. Augusta, Ga. to Waynesboro, Ga., one day’s trip staying there all night, a big trip but we had very good roads. Waynes boro. Ga., we were told, was. until the European war broke out, the wealth iest city in the country, according tt its size and population—about 3.500— because so many big cotton planter* live there. From Waynesboro. Ga we drove to Savannah, Ga., roadt sand,• sometimes soft sand at that—and hard to get through, altliougl fourteen miles out of Savannah wt

catna Into a very fiu« road. Many places of interest are to be seen in Savannah, only a few. such as the house General Sherman used ns his headquarters (hiring the occupation in the late war, still stands, Is used as a private home, and Is a beauti fu! plan. Tlte old church In which John Wesley spoke, when lie first visited (his country, and during the time he was rector of the church, of England. The lionaventure cemetery, said to be the finest cemetery In the south: the Hermntage, dating hack before tlte Revolution, tlte ruins are still standing. We continued on south to Brunswick, Ga. At Parian, (la., where formerly you were ferried across in a boat six miles to Brother mainland, across swamps, and four or five good sized rivers, we drove up on a fiat form, and from ttiere onto n flat car, and an electric motor pushed us across. Tlte Georgia (’oast and Piedmont railroads built the trestles and bridges with the help of the people of Brunswick, who gave twenty-five thousand dollars. They charge (hreo dollars for car and party, a very reasonable price. On tlte boat it was five dollars and dangerous to cross. From there we drove the ten miles into Brunswick, Ga., over a good oyster shell road. Here we had rain again, in fact had had it most of the day, but we started for Jacksonville, Fla., in the 1 morning. Thirty-five miles out we crossed in flat boat at Owen’s Ferry, charge, one dollar, and later again at King's Ferry, in flat boat, one dollar, boat paddled by darkies, at each end of boat. Again after leaving King’s Ferry we had trouble; got stuck in soft sand and mud hole. Got out all right on own power, but delayed many hours, and reached Jacksonville at 12 p. m., ready to sleep the clock around, but started next morning for St. Augustine; had two bad spots, caused by repairing the road, same going to be bricked to the county line. Stayed in St. Augustine two sights and one day, and then drove in here, reaching here about 4 p. m,, tavi.ng been on the road four weeks to the day. Taking the roads as a whole they were very good, a great lea! better titan we expected. A great amount of road work is being ■lone in the Carolinas, Georgia and ' Florida, but especially in Georgia. A speech at the good roads convention in Atlanta. Ga., two weeks ago by the 1 governor of Georgia, said 12,000 miles uad been built in the last two years. They are saud clay roads, and they . ttake very hard, fine avenues. Ac- | ording to our speedometer we made ,SSO miles, but we made over 2,000,

as l forget, hefore having home, to| change the spror-.tef wheel In tinspeedometer when I changed from smooth 34x4 Inch tires to over-dined j eon-skid 36x4% inch tires, and tliut would make at least two hundred more. We used 138% gallons of gasoline, and 31 quarts of oil cn the trip. Our storage charges were one dollar each for three night, u few times twenty-live cents, but mostly %’ty cents. We had a very nice trip, enjoyed It all, but were, of course, very tired when we reached here. Tlte car came through In line shape, and aside from natural wear and tear, Is In as good a condition as \\ien we left home which nil makes us think we got a bargain in our new 1915 Overland, Model 80, 4-cyclo car. We are all well, and all Join mo in best wishes to all, hoping you will have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Most sincerely, Your friend, D. E.
