Solicitor Genera!,
Jefferson, Ga., May 2.—Some
days ago Col. R. L J. Smith, of
Commerce, was a visitor here and
when asked if he would be in tne
race for Solicitor General of the
Western Circuit next tune, he
stated that it was possible. His
manv friends have been soliciting

a good way ahead in calendar, he
is already think about the matter
and mav later get into the game.
When the above special from
Jefferson to the Athens Banner
was shown to (. ol. Smith by the
Com mere News reporter and Col.
Smith was asked for an inter
view, he stated frankly that while
it was true he expected to
be m the race in 1012 tor Solic¬
itor General ol the Western Cir
cuit, still he thought it entirely
too early tor^a candidate for an

dates, and for that reason he will
not make formal announcement ol
his candidacy at this time, but de
sires the people of the Western
Circuit to know that at the proper
time he will make his foimal an,
nouncement and in the meantime
he requests his friends to remem
ber that he will be in the race and
to refrain from pledging them

Carnesviile Will Have Railroad Complet¬
ed By January 1911 —Everything is in
Good Shape and Work Will Begin
In a Few Days.
So much has been said during
the past few years about a rail
road that tiie subjet become mo
notonous, yet the discussion did
not amount to anything. The
time has come when the talk
means more than hot air, and we
may expect a railroad to Carnes
ville within the next 12 months.
If we are willing we may take
part and assist ihe cause; other
wise must.stand aside and watch
the other fellow enjoy the shares.
With the coining railroad Carnes
vide will be one of the best towns
in Georgia, the subscribers torrn
such an enthusiastic majority that
obstacles count for little. As the
days go by more of us will real
lze the great success tnese men
have obtained. Now if tins rail
road was a benefit to Cmoiesville
solely, it it would not also benefit
the territory along the line, we
would not have the nerve to
insist that the farmers along the
fine lend their assistance to the
movement. As a matter of fact
this is the territory that has long
needed the aid of a railroad and
we are proud to sav that by Janua
ry 1011 we will no longci sav
where is and when will the much
needed railroad begin. It is true
: hat Carnesville have tailed on se
curing a railroad to this place
heretofore, however, it is no reas
on why we can not have one vet
We have always talked railroad in
the-columnsof The Advance until
tins proposed line was started and
so many outsiders seemed to think
that somebody bad some prop
ertv to sell here and started the
railroad talk to get, to sell it. Such
is not the case we aie glad to sav.
It is a certaintv, no grafters this
time the men who are backing the
business will build the road within
the next few months and no raon
ey will be paid in until the road is
completed. You give vour note
payable only when the roarl is com
pleted. Is this not a fair propos
non? Anyway the suoscriher
will have the pleasure'of paving
his note as the line will be comple
ted.
