A few hundred yards above the ice factory, at a point about opposite the ball park, a big stenin shovel Is at work. This giant machine Is eating Its way through a high bank of red clay, loading car after car wltlj,dlrt to be hauled away to various points where It Is needed In construction work which calls for filling. The embankment mentioned extends from the Ice factory to a point about opposite the Bacon Equipment Com pany’s machine shops, and Is between the main line of the Central of Geor gia on the one side and those of the Albany & Northern, Seaboard Air Line and Georgia Northern on tho other. The embankment Is being cut away to enable the Central to lay four tracks additional to those already In service. These tracks wlll be a part of the ex tensive Improvements decided upon by the Central several months ago, necessity for which had become so great that they could hot longeT be Ignored. The steam shovel Is a wonderful machine, as those who have seen one at work are well aware, and that which the Central Is operating here Just now is doing work which would otherwise require an immense force of laborers.
