Tqrnor- ville was named for Capt. J. Cal- ,|,r Turner, the engineer who sur veyed the road from Coitielia to the Falls. I remember, while a member of the City Council, going on a'trip tn Tallulah Falls to note the prog ress made in grading tho line. The line had only been surveyed beyond Turnerville, and work had stopped as the Air-Line, the road building this branch, did not care to go to ike expense of digging a tunnel to reach the falls, and the report was that this would be necessary. At i Senator Capper, Head of Senate Farm Bloc, Also Gives Assurances Of Early Aid. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON—The national convention of the Farmers Co-op erative Associations was told Fri day by Secretary Hoover farmers had the right to demand relief from, financial troubles by which they are handicapped. Secretary Hoover predicted ac tion will soon be taken to provide this relief in a substantial and sat isfactory manner. Similar assur ances were given by Senator Cap per, head of the Senate , Farm Bloe. that tiim enpt. Turner came up to In Many Eastern, North- upervisc the work, and asked the | ern and Western States engineer in charge about the dif ferent surveys and wanted to know why hull not a line be run toward the river. The reply was that one hail been run anil it ended in the chasm. (IRANI) CHASM Capt. Turner had this line run liver and when it came to the brink of the Grand Chasm he remarked, "Why there's a tunnel already cx- cavtcd. All nevtssary is to blast for enough of the cliff for a track and we can then carry the road to the falls " This was done and al all persons who have traversed this road knows the track runs along the brink of the chasm. But for the engineering discernment of Capt. Turner the road would have probably terminated this side of the Falls. INDIAN KILLED I remember for some time, while this last link was being graded, the trains stopped about two miles from Young’s House, and passen gers had to be carried by hacks tJ the hotel. At this place Capt. Turn er showed me a large pine trreo, that was m historic landmark. One side was dcfeaccd with graves and rude characters. At the foot of 'hi. pine was buried the las.
