IL Ulmer and Party Penetrate cutter into the Southland *mowiv On the third day out as the sun was declining in the, wes,t;•faithirfa "Henri etta" sniffed the dust' and the din of tleorglas eapittai city, Atlanta. It was hcre during the devastating Civil War that saueh sanguinary ceost- . Met took:place between the forces of the North and those of the South. The novel "Gone With the Wind," which has been% converted into a "movie," very_ vividly pertrays this 'city. The scars of those tragic days are gone; the artistry ef luau plus the healing touch of nature have given the land- scape a -silvery beauty' ,which im- mediately arrests the eye of the visitor. Atlanta, geographically and commerc- ially, provides the confluence of traffic front the east and west and because of its elevation it is less enervating than other towns and cities in the same latitude. One could go on and ors describing • Oils city -in terms or its industry, its academic, its social life. Suffice it to say that Atlanta, Geergia,• having emerged from it's ashes of 1864 Is one of the finest vides encOuntered during the trip. - • • • There are a number of institutions Set apart • for the specific training of colored youth. They s4nclude literary and -seientific _schools, a school of theology, schools for. industrial train-. in and training- schools for nurses. The Presbyterian Chun*, South, owns and operates an academy here which, in terms of spaciousness and beauty, is a joy to behold. The fathers of Presbyterianism here "bnilded better thatl they knew." By this time, however, we were getting a wee bit excited, forthe- ad- joining State to the south, Florida, was not so far away. -A suburb .of Atlanta,- the relatively 'small town of Hopeville, found us seeking the final meal of the day.

There are. still a few latent tensions In eKidence between the 'Yankee from the North and his cousin of the South. (inc periodically ;Stumbles upon ,this. Here, as we were enjoying the even ing meal, a Georgian who had resided for some 'time in Florida undertook to give us guidance by way of visiting places of interest. .This advice we Iteadily accepted,' for it was tendered iii true, kindly Georgian vein. "Bok Tower" must be included in our itinerary; as also "Sillier Springs." If everything else be passed up in- clude, at all .costs, a visit to the latter. This we promised to do and proffering our thanks we pressed on still farther south seeking 'lodgings for the night. Since returning many have asked the Iv:liter whether or not reservations weremade ahead of the trip, since one woulfiseew to be taking a risk journey- ing so far. Since the scribe is a preacher he does, periodically, en- deavor to practise what he preacbes; .hence the element of faith is not un- important even in the formulating of plans for an odyssey of this . nature. Never once did we sleep under the canopy .of the stars. Of course, we didn't always "bed down" in the first cabins available. The closer proximity of the cabins- to the cities and towns the higher the fee, and haying first seen the light of day within scent of - the heather this Was. a basic consider- ation. w - 'About thirtymilessouth of Georgia's capitol we came to a "nest" of cabins. spotlessly clean and admirably situ- ated. • We had nocturnal ' canine guardians, although it was a moot question whether the virtue of their guardianship wasn't somewhat spoiled by their continuous howling through the, night.

Here "Henrietta" clamored for a: litge lubrication, which was granted when two burly colored mechanics took her in hand. A strange thing about the hoist; it also functioned as an agitator wherein the springs were made to move op and down, thus allowing the precious lubricant- to find its way into all the joints of Henrietta, This normally a "minor" oneration, the Inter "gal" this time must have considered a "major." The mechanics went apout their work with a will and demeanor - suggestive of happiness, due in no small measure to the soothing htfiluence of a cigar.

Just imagine offering a customer of English extraction -"iced" tea. Down here they interpret "tea" as "iced" tea. However, this dainty miss was quite accommodating, bringing forth the aristocratic tea bag suspended from the inner side of the cup and immersed in lukewarm water. They are ex- perts in the. art of preparing the -cool- ing drink iced tea, but need a few lessons in the • art of brewing tea for their northern cousins. However, the writer readily forgives them. Here for the first time our accent attracted particular -attention, the waitress having to listen' carefully to what must have seemed to her the clipped and staccato speech, in 'order to cater to our needs.
