(Note: The following is part of a series of articles looking at the growth of roads and transportation in Georgia and Bulloch County beginning in 1807.) On Oct. 1, 1905, Statesboro resident L.F. Davis was driving his new car from Savannah to Bulloch County. Unfortunately for him, some 10 miles out of Savannah, the auto began acting up, and before he knew it, it was dead. Stranded in Arcola, he ended up getting a tow into town behind a mule, which was not at all the way he had expected to make his glorious entrance into the Boro with the very first of these newfangled vehicles to make it that far west of Savannah.
