DEVELOPMENT IS
NOTED OVER
SOUTH
Georgia Leads Other states
in Progress for Week and
Many New Enterprises
are Launched.
COLUMBUS, Ga. —The Georgia and
Alabama Industrial index says today
in its regular weekly issue;
"A week of steady progress in the
states of Georgia and Alabama is re
corded and while it was devoid of
spectacular features yet it was char
acterized by the letting of substantial
contracts, hv the announcement of
still further municipal improvements
in various progressive cities, and by
many incidents which illustrate to the
thoughtful mind the strength and abid
ing character of the industrial devel
opment that is now r on in lull swing
in this favored section of the coun
try. Prominent among the contracts
awarded were those for buildings at
Auburn, Ala., an agricultural haTT ■frtai
will be a credit to the state of Ala
bama; a $30,000 court house at Tus
cumbla, Ala., and a $25,000 school
building at Eiyton, Ala.
“Both states were interested in the
announcement that representatives
of the Carnegie-Schwab interests have
secured options on much valuable
iron ore land in northwest Georgia,
that a company will subsequently he
formed with'headquarters at Summer
ville, Ga., and that probably in con
nection with this development a steel
mill will be established at Chattanoo
ga, Tenn. Over in northeast Georgia
a New York gold mining company,
which has been testing ore on prop
erty it recently bought, will install a
$200,000 smelting plant and will begin
work in earnest to wrest the precious
metal from Mother Earth.
“In the Birmingham. Alabama, dis
trict, the capitalization of new, cor
porations there and the increase in
capital on the Part of older concerns
in that district during seven months
of 1908 aggregate the Imposing 'sum
of $15,801,600, illustrating ho\y the
great Alabama mineral district is at
tracting investment. That Georgia is
keeping pace with her now full-grown
daughter is shown by the fact that
taxable values there show an Increase
over those of 1907, notwithstanding
the general financial depression at
the beginning of the year, and also
the local problems peculiar to the
stale. In two counties alone, Fulton
and Muscogee, of whicn Atlanta and
Columbus, respectively, are the coun
ty seats, the increase in values over
tne tax returns of 1907, totals tne
handsome sum of $3,000,000.
"Real estate continues active and
one series of transactions of peculiar
interest is the sale of 29 farms in
south Alabama to a party of Wester*
colonists who visited that section
prospecting A successful land sale
was had at Chlpley, Ga., which only
a few months ago lay prostrate from
the cyclone's visitation. Contract
was let at Atlanta, Ga., for the pro
limiuary work on a great Institutional
church of the Methodist denomination.
The Georgia legislature granted the
I city of Atlanta authority to Issue
! $1,500,000 in bonds for municipal im
provenients. and the Georgia capital
is usually not very uackward in ak
ink advantage of such opportunities
1 for improvement.

cmtrge of Engineer Moody, jumped
the track on the holt line about fifty
feet from the MilUdgeville Road. An
drew Davis, a negro hrukeman. stand
ing on the pilot, was instantly killed
It seems that the engine broke a
rail and jumped the track, turning
directly to the right, clearing a ditch
about two feet deep and burying the
pilot under a spur track that was
about twenty feet away. The traek
was raised about three feet from the
bed.
When the engine left, the track It
cut the rail In two pieces, Davis wan
standing on the pilot and was burled
about three feet, with only bis feet
projecting from the mound of earth.
His right arm was fearfully mangled
at the shoulder, but It Is thought lhat
death was caused by the body being
crushed.
810 CROWDS WILL
GOME FROM
TENNILLE
The big excursion into Augusta
from Tennille and other points along

The special train will he operated
under the auspices of tho Chamber
of Commerce, under the supervision
of Mr. J. .1. O’Connor, qnd the train

The faro will be the lowost in the
history of excursions to Augusta, be
ing less than one fare for the round

between Tennille and an Augusta
team will be one of the attractions
for the day, and other features will j
be planned later.
Special coaches will be provided for I
rolored passengers, and refreshments '

FOREIGN PAPER
ATTACKS PRES.
ROOSEVELT
CARACAS.—President Rooaevalt
la harahfy attacked In the official
journal of President Caatro. The at
tack appeara In Caatro'a paper, El
Conatttucclonal, and la baaed on
Roosevelt's criticism of Venezuelan
counts.
I sere is the attack in part:
"If President Roosevelt attacks the
tribunals of his own country and
questions the prestige of the courts,
the honor of the judges and the Im
partiality of their Judgements, It. Is
nothing strange that he should also
attack the tribunals of foreign noun
tries and more easily east asper
sions on the names of judges whom
he does not know. It appears that
President Roosevelt cares little for
the majesty of Justice and the re
spect which he owes to the fleople.
The event which has occurred In the
same country which he governs rele
gates American justice to a low plane
and casts over It a dark mantle of
suspicion.”
