(Continued from Yesterday)
At this point began the thoroughly
enjoyable experience of riding rapidly
in a fine car over a thoroly good
road, than which there is no more
pleasant way of traveling, except in
an airplane at lease a thousand feet
up. and even that has a drawback if
you take time to think about coming
down too suddenly.
As said in a previous article, this
road has no superior. It is wide, firm
and elastic, and is laid out in straight
lines and wide curves, so it is as near
ly foolproof as a road can be made.
Oxford is the first town we came
to a pleasant and prosperous place;
noted for many years for being the
center of one of the state's finest
farming sections. It has incorporat
ed recently and built a wide, paved
street thru the business center of the
town. Even in a few months, the new
road has made a difference to Oxford
Five miles further, we came to
Wildwood, Sumter county's railroad
town, and one closely connected with
Ocala. As the car rolled with only
two slight bumps across the railroad
crossing the scribe remembered how
at the same point about nine months
before he had to get out of an auto to
help pull the car out of the deep sand,
and about a year ago two lives had
been lost there because a Ford couldn't
scramble thru in time to escape a
train. It's a good crossing now.
Wildwood is a live town, but the rail
road is rather disrespectful to it.
Another five miles and we came to
Coleman, famed for its fertility be
fore good roads in Florida were
thought of, but happier now because
one runs thru it. The first noticeable
thing in Coleman, beside some pretty
residences, was the handsome school
house, out of which a crowd of bright
faced young folk was pouring, it be
ing the end of the school day. Cole
man is a pretty town, with a live
business center and many handsome
homes. Everybody knew Mr. Mayo
and many said "Hello, Nathan," as
the big car rolled slowly along. Al
most in the middle of the town we
found a person in rough working
clothes, darkened with sweat, and
when at Mr. Mayo's call he lifted the
wide brim of his floppy hat he reveal
ed the features of our next state sen
ator, Hon. N. J. Wicker. He tried to
keep the editor over night, to take him
fishing, but we knew if we stopped
we wouldn't get back to Ocala in a
week, so put the coveted experience
off until we get time. Coleman is
right by the famous Warm Spring
Hammock, the fertility of which
makes Egypt look sterile. It would
take a page to only index what that
courteous, and except that there are
gray streaks in his hair and he doesn't
stand so straight, he doesn't seem to
have changed much.
Across the street from the Times
office is the neat and well arranged
office of the Sumter County Chamber
of Commerce, of which Clarence E.
Woods is the competent and energetic
artist. Clarence is very much at
home in Sumter county, for he dearly
loves to tell the world about good
things.
We added Graham and Woods to
the party, which filled the Hudson
full, and went careering on down the
road toward Webster. We passed
thru this thriving town and about
four miles further lost our fine road,
crossed the bridge over the Little
Withlacoochee and dropped right into
the mud of Hernando county.
It was a pity that at least a hun
dred representative citizens of Her
nando county could not have been
present to have seen the sudden
change from an uptodate highway to
a worse than neighborhood road. And
only five miles away, across a corner
of their otherwise progressive county,
was the beginning of another upto
date highway, which connected with
the entire South Florida good roads
system.
Mr. Mayo wanted to drive us across
this corner to Pasco county, where
the links of this good road chain re
commence, leading to Tampa, Lake
land and all points south and south
east. But a hundred yards from the
bridge we struck a sure-enough
slough of despond. With the full
force of its powerful engine and
some mighty fine steering, the big car
pulled thru to firmer ground, turned
around and pulled thru again, after
which we concluded we had better
light out for home.
To the best of our information, a
few thousand dollars will put this
five-mile stretch of bad road in pass
ably good order, and Hernando county
owes it to itself as well as surround
ing counties to have the work done.
We stopped a few minutes in pro
gressive Webster, a town with good
business and a most fertile country
surrounding, and then sped away
northward.
Reaching Bushnell, Woods tried to
make us stay for supper, promising
each a big platfull of fried chicken.
We all. especially the scribe, licked
our chops, but the shades of night
were falling fast and all the members
of the party except the newspaper
man had families to be anxious about
them. So we bade Sid and Clarence
goodbye, and scooted northward like
ah express train. It seemed little
time before a familiar bump told us
we were back in dear old Marion
again.
A rain had been chasing us around
over the county all the afternoon, and
soon after wre left Bushnell it turned
into a storm and seemed to make
headquarters right on top of the auto.
This was not so bad on the Sumter
good road, which was wide and free
from holes, while the lightning kept
the way ahead lit up, lout in Marion
there were many creeks and lakes to
negotiate. Nathan proved himself a
good navigator; he knew every rock
and reef of this uncharted route; the
lamps would glimmer on a sheet of
wrater ahead, there would be a shower
of spray against the curtains, and we
would be on the other side. Nathan
calculated there would be no speed
cop out that night.
Others were not making such good
weather of it. A little this side of Ox
ford wre picked up Mr. Sands, a trav
eling man, whose car had been com
pletely drowned in the cloudburst. He
wanted to stay with his car until we
could send help back from Summer
field, but Mr. Mayo hauled him aboard,
and again the big Hudson surged
ahead. We reached Summerfield in
good time and set Mr. Clyburn down

for just such a fate that it was the
subject of a frameup by the republi

president has very sensibly said, there
was no way provided by Congress of
raising the money for the bonus if the
bill became a law. And the republi

what has happened the president's
veto and not enough votes in the Sen

has been a big bluff on the part of the
republicans all along.

to criticise a too brief turn in the

note that the cemetery was conven

Sumter's new and handsome court
house. A short distance away from
it was a good-looking brick house,

was the Sumter county jail.
The car stopped in front of the
courthouse, and we went into a simply

raised right around Summerfield, too.

A New Tread a Lower Price
Reliable Goodyear Quality
Here is a new Goodyear Cord Tire a big, sturdy, long
wearing tire that sells at a price lower than you are asked
to pay for many 'long discount" tires of unknown value.
It has a different tread from the famous Goodyear All
Weather Tread Cord a new tread with a deep, clean-cut,
cog-like pattern and it sells for substantially less.
It has in it the same high-grade long-staple cotton, the same
Goodyear patented group-ply construction, the same liber
ally oversize dimensions.
When you buy the 4Vmcn size, for example, you get a tire
whose actual measurement is nearly 5 inches.
Don't confuse this Goodyear Cross-Rib Tread Cord with
other popular-price cords which sell at the same price or for
slightly more.
In many cases, these other cords are made of inferior mate
rials, with short-staple cotton as a foundation.
Get the tire that is good enough to carry the Goodyear name,
that is built to safeguard the world-wide Goodyear reputation.
