Manuscript Bought by Gunter From Columbus Woman
A Columbus woman, Mrs. N. L. Redd, wrote the original manuscript of "A Florida Enchantment" which was bought by Mer. Gunter and later remodeled into a best selling novel with his distinctive sensational style. The note recalls Gunter’s escape from a New York hotel fire and ties the manuscript to Atlanta author Archibald Claver King Gunter. In Rome, Ga, I. S. Calyar, ex-president of the Rome Trans Company, has purchased the controlling interest from bondholders and plans a reorganization with a charter under Georgia law.
