Discussed Today at Har monious Meeting Here of Determined' Representa tives of Albany, Camilla, Newton and Cairo. The promoters of the projected rail road from Cairo to Albany met In this city at noon today fob the purpose of discussing the situation, comparing notes, etc;; and arranging to carry for- ward thp proposed enterprise. Cairo needs another railroad, and .the people of ;that. growing town are determined to secure if- They have gone about the undertaking in the proper manner and with the proper .spirit of local enterprise, all of which- is promising of early success. Cairo is the county seat of the new county of Grady, and is in the center of the richest cane belt of the state. Hundreds of cars of cane syrup are shipped from that market annually, not to mention the matter of more than a million pounds of tobacco, oth er valuable agricultural products, and a great deal of lumber. The proposed line will extend from Albany southward to Newton, crossing the Flint river there and following the graded bed of the old Camilla & Cuth- bert road to Camilla. From Camilla southward to,pairo would be a straight shoot, and the line would eventually be carried on to the port of Apalachi cola. It would "traverse one of the richest agricultural and timbered sec tions of the South. Those in Albany this morning as representatives of the principally In terested towns were W. C. Jones and J. F. Stone, o^ Cairo," S. S. Bennet and F. S. Perry, of Camillj; and C. F. Norris, Howell Williams, John O. Per ry and Benton Odom, of Newton. These gentlemen were met at the Third National Bank by the’following Albanians: Messrs. S. B. Brown, Mor ris WeBlosky, J: R. "Whitehead, L. E. Welch, John D. Pope, H. A. Tarver, R. A. Hall, C. W. Rawson, J. A. Betje man, Joseph Ehrlich and J. S. Crews. The meeting was an entirely satis factory one. It was evident that all present meant business, and would waste no time in matuiing their plans. The representatives of Camilla, New ton and Cairo promised the support of their respective communities, and Albany’s cordial co-operation was pledged. The following resolution, vrhlch was offered by Mr. Weslosky, was unani mously adopted: ‘Resolved, That wo, citizens of Al bany, assembled by invitation with a committee from Cairo, Camilla and Newton, Ga, for the purpose of fur thering a proposed railroad from Al bany via Newton, Camilla, Cairo and Quincy to the Gulf of Mexico, are in sympathy with the movement and will lend our support tD the effort and ren der such assistance at this end as may be deemed necessary and expedient.” It is considered more than a possi bility than the Albany & Northern railway will become interested in the movement. It announced,. some time ago, a plan to build from Albany to Newton, thence to" Colquitt, Miller county, and on to the Gulf. It may suit A. & N. interests as well to go by way of Newton, Camilla and Cairo. By the route proposed, it will be a line of fifty-four miles from Albany to Cairo. The prospect appears good for carrying the enterprise through with but little delay.' The smaller towns are undoubtedly very much in earn est,: and Albany can be depended upon to do her full part- Vineviile Car Left TracK at Brooklyn Bridge and Plunged Down EmbanK- ment—The Injured. :,V Macon, Ga., March 30.—A street car plunged down the embankment at Brooklyn bridge yesterday afternoon and the six passengers aboard were all injured, none of them very seri ously.
