for the entire state upon the build

For the past twelve year* or more
this county baa worked Its roads with
misdemeanor convicts. In conse
quence of this plan the county has
the best roads In the state.
Governor Hoke Smith, who has
been over them, and know* tbelr
value, has written to Judge A. B.
Moore, chairman of the Board of
County Commissioners, asking that
he be given the details of the plan
by which these road* were built.
Judge Moore baa supplied blm the
Information. The Governor says be
wishes to publish It so that the peo
ple all over tbe state may be able
to Intelligently enter upon tbe con
struction of roads when tbe convict
lease system Is at an end. Judge
Moore also suggested to the Governor
that there be a convention beld in
Chatham county to be attended by
tbe county commissioners from all

ed and also see them In the making.

SPARKS AND MOULTRIE.
Business Men of th* Two Towns
Conferring Over the Matter. 4
A number of Moultrie business
men were out at the court house last
night to meet Mr. Jno. R. Barfield
of Cordele, and Dr. Ethridge of
Sparks, who are promoters of the
proposed Sparks and Moultrie rail
road. Mr. Barfield who Is one of the
Incorporators and largest stockhold
ers in the road said that the road
was an assured thing. He and other
capitalists would put up what money
wlas not forthcoming from parties
from along the proposed line and
that nothing but providential reasons
could prevent the construction of
the road. The dirt waa broken for
the construction at Sparks last week
and the right-of-way ha* been ob
tained from Sparks to Bayboro. The
surveying corps reached Moultrie
yesterday afternoon and gave the
first outline of the road. The line
was run almost due west from Bay-
boro. making a bee line betWeen
Sparks and Moultrie. _^The distance
Is twenty-one and a fraction miles.
The parties promoting the road have
quite a quantity of timber between
Moultrie and Sparks and comple
tion of the road win be followed by
the starting up. of several saw mills
along the line.
Mr. Barfield stated last night that
the road would have Intimate connec
tion with the Georgia and Florida
road which John Skelton Williams Is
building from Augusta. Ga.. to Madi
son, Fla. and the Nashville and
Sparks road which Is owned by that
company. It Is a part of the plan
to operate a through line from Moul
trie to Nashville when the line
completed from here to Sparks.
Moultrie was given to understand
that the promoters of the road would
appreciate encouragement In the
way Of right-of-way, subscriptions to
stock or terminal property and they
were assured that Moultrie would
cooperate with them in the construc
tion of the rwad.—-Moultrie Observer.
