CENTRAL RAILWAY SHOPS
LOCATED AT CEDARTOWN
$ 135,000 to be Spent There for the Shops and a New
Passenger and Freight Depot.
Cedar town has won out in a long
continued contest for the location of
the Central Railway shops for the
Griffin and Chattanooga division of
that road.
The shops will probably remain
there permanently, for Cedartown is
exactly on the half-way point be¬
tween Griffin and Chattanooga, and
that location seems the natural place
for the relay station of this division.
Already Cedartown has the train¬
master ol this division, with his
force of train dispatcherr, and a large
number of train crews there who run
on each end of the division. Now
that the shops are coming there, it is
thought that many orews who have
been residing in both Chattanooga
and Griffin will move to Cedartown,
besides the large number of families
to be brought there by theshops.
Altogether the Central Railway
improvements there will add fully
600 people to the population of Ce-
dartown.
The improvements will consist of
shops, thoroughly equipped with new-
and up-to-date machinery; a 15 stall
roundhouse besides outside tracks
with pits; turn-tables, seven yard
tracks, and six repair tracks for'

MOB TOOK THE JAIL BY STORM
Town of Wadesboro, N. C., Where the
Lynohing Occurred, la All Excite¬
ment—All Pariteo Involved Are
Prominent.
Wadesboro, N. C., May 28.—About 1
o’clock Monday morning a mob took
John V. Johnston, a white man charg¬
ed with the murder of his brother-in-
law, Owynn Johnston, from Jail here
and carried him about a quarter ot a
mil* from town, where they hanged
him and riddled his body with bul¬
lets.
The jail doors were broken down
and when the sheriff hesitated about
turning over'the keys to the mob .they
threatened to shoot Johnston in his
cell.
At the last term of court there was
a mistrial in the case, eleven Jurors
standing for murder In th* second
degree and one tor manslaughter, and
this is supposed to hav* been the im¬
mediate cause of the lynching.
The body of Johnston was left hang¬
ing in front of the lawyer’s house who
defended him.
All parties connected with the lynch¬
ing are prominent white people of low¬
er Anson'’county. None of the lynch¬
ing party are known.
The town is all excitement.
Settle Controversy.
Washington. May 28.—The house
coT-imltee on ways and means has 'set.

tween Port Arthur and Sabine Pass,

a port of entry in favor of-Port Ar¬
thur. A bll) was authorized favorably
reported which accepts the offer of
John tV. Gates. maJe on behalf of the
Kansas City Southern railroad
which gives to the government t v o tide
water canal at Port Arthur, said to
have cost $1,509,000. Th* bill au¬
thorizes the secretary of war to ac¬
quire title to this property, and also
to acquire from the state of Texas,
the control of the jvatera of the port .
manner in which some of its branches
had been conducted, and the follow¬
ing committee was appointed to act
in conjunction with Representative
PJynt to prepare a biU to fit the situ¬

damaged rolling stock, and a track
for lumber yard. Ail these wiU»be
located in the “Katy field,” on the
east side of the Central right of way,
on the property recently given to that
road for shop purposes.
An elegant passenger and freight
station will also be built, but the site
has not yet been definitely determin¬
ed. The freight, ticket and telegraph
offices will be on the first floor, and
the operating department for the di¬
vision will occupy the second story.
The* various improvements will
represent an outlay of about $126,000,
and will be of great mutual benefit to
both Cedartown and the Central.
The work of grading for the ad¬
ditional tracks and for the site for the
shops is well in progress Under the
direction of Foreman J. F. Baggett,
and will be pushed to completion as
rapidly as possible. Thd big steam
shovel is moving dirt every day at a
rate that does a Cedartown man’s
heart good, and—
Cedartown is happy!
The Central is already one of the
most prosperous roads in the country,
and with its extension to the 9ulf and
the building of the Panama Canal,
this enterprising system will be one
of the most important.

Closing Term Oh *f Unnsaal Sac-
cost.
'fhe term just dosed is conceded to
be one of the most successful in tire
history of the Griffin schools, that of
the High School, of which Prof. J.
D. Smith is president, being partic¬
ularly gratifying.
There has been no eontagkw* dis-
oaae and the attendance of all schools
shows a decided increase over that ot
last year. This is largely due to the
enterprise, efficiency and indefatig¬
able efforts of Hupt. C. B. Mathews,
of the public schools.
Prof. Mathews is being compli¬
mented on the decided advancement
made along all educational lines dur¬
ing the past term and in effecting
this pleasant success he has been
ably assisted by Prof. Smith and the
excellent corps of assistant teachers.
How the Teacher* Will Sport Va¬
cation.
Prof. Mathews will spend the early
l«rt of vacation tutoring in Griffin,
after which he will attend the Uni¬
versity ot Chicago for the purpose of
obtaining a higher degree. This has
been Prof. Mathews’ custom for sev¬
eral years and the degree will prob¬
ably be'conferred with high honors.
Prof. Hinith has engagements to
conduct institutes in Griffin, Gaines¬
ville and other cities.
The other teachers, so for as is
known, have perfected no arrange¬
ments for the vacation and will ei^joy
a much needed rest during the early
. days.
Juan Alejandro Says HelNal
Not Deserter. V '„
Juan E. Alejandro, the Cuban, who
was united in marriage taMiss Mlpffie y
Bullard in this city several month*
has established „
ago, the tact that he
is not a deserter from Fort Spelling,
Minn.
Alejandro was, tarried to Fort Mc¬
Pherson and given a court martial
for desertion, during which it de¬
veloped that his father purchased his
discharge iq 1906, paying $120.00 for
same. It seems that the government
was slow in filling out the necessary
papers and as Alejandro, 8r., had a
receipt for the purchase money the
young soldier thought it fio crime to
run away. He is under bond for
cheating and swindling in this coun¬
ty, which charge he says he can prove
untrue. He will make his home in
this city.
