"Yes,” said another railroad man,
but that would be a longer line than
even the Covington & Macon.”
’Not bo; it would oil the contrary, be
shorter. From Macon to Rutledge it
is 55 miles. From Rutledge to Athens
it is 25 miles making 80 milles the dis
tance of the road, which is twenty miles
shorter than the Covington & Macon.
The distance from McDonough to Rut

Here the speaker drew a rude map of
the scheme showing with dotted lines
the course of the road from Athens to
Rutledge to Macon, showing also the
extension of the Georgia Midland to

tempting scheme for the Georgia, Car
