There is considerable talk of the con
struction of an olectrio railway from
Athens to Carnesville.
It is known that an Ohio syndicate,
headed by a gentleman named Morgan,
has decided to construct several electric
lines iu the state of Georgia, and that
the officers of this syndicate have ap
proached the citizens of Carnesville with
a proposition to construct this road if
the proper enoouragement is given
them.
The proposition made is for the peo
ple along the line to put up thirty thons
and dollars towards its construction,
and the people of Carnesville raised
folly one-third of that amount in a short
while. It is believed that the people
along the line of the proposed railway
and in Athens, whioh will bo its ter
minus, will come up with the remainder
of the money readily.
The territory whioh the new road
would open up is one of the best in the
state. It has been handicapped for many
years by the lack of railroad facilities
and the opportunity that is now pre
sented is one that is not likely to be al
lowed to pass by.
Such a road would be of great benefit
to Athens aud the people of this oity
should take up the matter at once and
do their fnll share towards making the
movement a success.
