On the same hue in a succeeding
issue, the Times-Enterprise continues:
We have no apologies to make
for keeping this project before the
people of Tliomasville, It is em
phatically the one tiling, above all
other tilings, needed. A new ami
brighter era of prosperity, eclipsing
all former or present advantages,
would draw with the construction of
this road. Ami its feasibility is be
yond question. The fruit is ripe.
Will Tliomasville pluck it or stand
still and sec (lie golden opportunity

disappear? Surely the business men,
the property owners of this town,
will not fail to move in the matter.

“ I'lie Tlionmsviile branch would be
a valuable feeder to the Georgia
Southern. It would pass through the
heart ot as fine a section us there is
in the state. In fact the people there
say it is the real garden spot of Geor
gia, It would give .Macon a direct
route to Tliomasville only 1(15 miles
long, forty miles shorter than the
present route via the Southwestern
railroad, Albany and ilie I’hint Sys
tem.
“It r.niihl put Tliomasville thirty
miles iwirei'i Macon than Savannah.
At present Savannah merchant? con
trol the trade of the Tliomasville ter-!
ritoi'y, as Savannah has a direct and
shorter line. Whereas, if the Tlioiu-
asvillu branch of tlio Georgia South
ern is built. Macon will have a direct
line and a shorter route than Savan-:
mill. The fact that .Macon merchants
mate roads, and a long distance, gives
Savannah the advantage and shuts
Macon out of competition.”
We thank our Macon contempo
rary for the interest taken in the mat
ter and trust its argument will arouso
