- Dalton, 1914. Dalton was competing with Rome in an effort to get U.S. Highway 41 to come through it. The highway was to connect Atlanta and Chattanooga, Tenn.

The group made the trip in the automobile owned by Paul B. Fite. They won the cup for having the largest number of representatives. Tom Boaz is at left holding a cane. At the far back is J. G. McLellan wearing a white hat and having one hand on the shoulder of J. J. Copeland. Dr J. L. Jarvis is wearing a bow tie. Louis Crawford is leaning on the sign and Paul B. Fite is holding the cup. Seated on the bumper left to right: Frank S. Pruden, B. A. Tyler, Mr. Bishop from Adairsville.
