C„ and General Munuger James U. Jackson, of tile Au- guMn-Alkcn Railway and Electric Company, states that a preliminary survey of the route has already been made and that tho line will be about 75 mile* long. Mr. Jackson said also that he cannot make any definite announcement in re gard to the exact time the road will be gin operations, but work will commence t.n It Immediately after the holidays and will be rushed to completion. Tho electric line between this city and Columbia pa* long been projected. It was not until today that Mr. Jackson allowed hi* name to be used In connec tion with the construction of the pro posed road. The Augustu-Alken line, which was ouilt by Mr. Juckson, has proved to be a gre.it success apd the success which attended hi* effort* In this will lead him to construct a line of eleetrlo rail way of much greater proportions.

Crawford Jackson, "chairman, of the committee, and his assistants: The special committee appointed for the purposes above Indicated, begs to report to the Central Juvenile Protect ory Association and other friends of the cause, thut It has carefully exam ined the books of the committee, and find them Intelligently and properly Kept. The work outlined hn* been con scientiously and faithfully pushed, through the special Instrumentality of Mr. Crawford Juckson, the chairman of the committee, and hi* employed as sistants, and the work lias been done at u minimum cost; thut Is to say, with coinmenduble economy. We llnd that tho work hits been pressed In ev ery quarter of the Mouth, and thut a very considerable Interest in the move ment Im* been aroused throughout ull sections; that at a great many points the movement looking to the estab lishment of Juvenile courts hu* arous ed special interest, and voluntary juve nile courts have been established. We believe that thq entire country Is being educated in the direction of the establishment of Juvenile court* and protectories and thut the work of the committee, through Its official chair man. Is largely responsible for the growing Interest in these movements. We heartily Indorse the work of the chuirmun, as contained In his report. CLIFFORD L. ANDERSON, J. L. ANDERSON, FRANK EASTMAN, Auditing Committee. TO FORCE RECOGNITION OF NEW RAILROAD. Drops Dead Walking Street. 8 per ini to The Georgian. Columbus, Ga., Dec. 8.—The fifth of this city In the past few week* occurred yesterday when Gus Golden, an old negro man, dropped dead on Mlxth street about noon. McRae, Dec. 8.—Tho short line of railroad that was built some time ago from the Southern railway at McRae to the Seaboard Air Line has been re organised. and’ the new management has put It into operation. The difficulty rhat has been In the way for some time la getting connection with these two great Mouthcrn systems, but that now Is assured. Two loaded car* have been pushed over the road and tendered to the Southern railway, and unless they permit the connection with their track, It Is stated litigation will be instituted under the recent Interstate commerce acta. Who holds the most Important posi tion In tho city government? Who Is looked upon as the head, of the city government? On wbotn lies the most responsibility and 1 to whom goes the most blame If anythin* is amis* during lit* term of office? * Everybody knows what the proper answer Is. Tho mayor, of course. Hla Is the position of nio*t honor, of most Importance, and of most responsibil ity. And this Is why the question Is asked: “Why should he not get the most pay?’ As a matter of fact, there are ten officials who receive us much pay for their services, under the present salary system, an the mayor. At the meeting of council Thursday, called especially to consider the propoaed raises in *al- ary, one of the strongest arguments ad vanced for this raise, wu* to make the heads of departments of equal Im portance get equal pay. but no move nas mod** to have the head of the whole administration get more than the head «»f a single department. Leas Than Fir# Chief. The mayor gets $3,000. Tho chief of the lire department for the last ten has been getting $4,000, free house rent, and other concession*. This has been remarked not because this was too much for the chief, but because It is thought the former amount wus too little for the mayor. The city attorney gets $3,000, the same as the mayor. The city comp troller gets the same. The city clerk gets tho same. The tax collector gets the ‘name. The superintendent of wa terworks gets tho same. Likewise, the city engineer and the chief of police, commlSHloner of public work* and the recorder. It la pointed out that “Cap" Joyner resigned a position, with tho pay of $4,000 a year, to accept the highest position In the city government, that of mayor, and that ho will get $1,000 less pay. Mayor Woodward, having twice been mayor, wa* asked for ft statement In regard to the apparent inconsistency In the pay of the chief executive of the city government, as compared with the head* of subordinate departments. “Looks Inconsistent.” *T can have no personal Interest In this now/ said tho mayor, “as my ad ministration closes In Just a few w'ceks, and any change In the salary of the mayor can’t possibly uffect me nny more than it docs any other citizen of Atlanta. “It does seem Inconsistent to me, though, to give all these men as much us the mayor. Not that they don’t deserve what they get, but If they do, then the mayor deserve* more. Why, Macon, not half the. size of Atlanta, nor half *o rich, puya her mayor as much as Atlanta. "I say the mayor ought to be the highest paid official of the city, and any reasonable man will bear me out, 1 think. I am down on record a* hav ing advocated this, so no surprise* are due. “The ma5*or of Atlanta ought to get $5,000 a year, and he ought to be re- MISSIONARY LEAGUE SESSION WILL CLOSE ttpeclnl to Tlio Georgian. Macon, Go., Dec. s. -The work of the Georgia Htudentu’ Missionary League will close foi* this session on Munday. Today Is the most interesting un i largely attended of tho session. During tho day many strong speeches were . made by young people, and an Interest ing program Is arranged for tonight. During the afternoon and evening yesterday the parlors at Wesleyan were filled with, visitors. They were enter tained at a brilliant reception from 4 to 6 o'clock at the institution. Wesleyan and Mercer Join hands In making the session of great Importance to nil the colleges throughout the state, and the first session promises to be u long stride forward In missionary work for all denominations.
