Railroad Extension.
ILLEN & SOUTHWESTERN HEADED
FOR WAYCROSS.
/The following telegram from
Swainsboro to the Savannah Morning
News tells of the proposed extension
of the Millen & Southwestern rsIIroad
to Wavcross. For a year or
has been known by a few that this
road was headed for Waycross, and
that it was the intention of its owns
era to come here. Work on this ex*
tension ha* been slowly progressing
since the first of the present year, but
the article published below indicates
that the road will be puslei more
rapidly to completion. A charter was
granted the company for the Way*
cross extension last January, and at
present there is nothing to prevent
the speedy construction of this line.
Following is the article:
Swainsboro, Ga., Nov. lflL—The work
of building the extension of the Millen
& Southwestern railroad from Still-
more to Vidalia was began this week
and will be rapidly pushed to oomple
tion. All of the rail has been pur
chased and paid for, and President

line in operation soon. It is the in
tention of the owners of this road to
extend it to Waycross on the, south
air^o a point on the Savannah river
neW Hagaslsga Ferry. This will
give the Mill6n A Southwestern a
f magnificent outlet and make it one of
the most important lines of roadJjjT
the state. Col. F. H. Saffold of this
city, attorney for the road, has just
returned from Vidalia, and reports
the people of that place very enthu-
slastlo over their future as a railroad
center. The main office of the Millen
& Southwestern is at Monte, Emanuel
county. D B. Durden is president
and Col. Frank R. Durden is general
manager. These gentlemen have been
prominent m developing and bring
ing the county forward, and their
latest stroke of enterprise is noted
with much pleasure.

about her. In which he said she t

Molineux, the handsome wife of the
man who stood as the central figure

effect. Here is the message: (

information is correct. I am in Sioux
Falls to Institute diyorce proceedings.
I have been martyred and 1 am justi
fied in seeking my freedom. Blanche
C. Molineux.
The action of the wife of Molineux,
and her veiled statement that she has
been martyred, may give the case a
new tnrn, though as yet it is uncer
tain just what the effect will be. All

going to Sioux Fails. Mis. Molineux's
absence from court during her bus-

Free Passes Again.
Atlanta, Nov. 18.— Senator Duncan
of Lee will probably introduce a
measure in the senate at an early date
requiring the railroads of Georgia to
give free passes to all judges, solicit
ors, statehouse officers and members
of the legislature S-nator Duncan
believes that the passage of 'this
measure will forever pnt down the
cry about free passes and bribery that
has been existing in Georgia for some
time He aaos that if the railroads
were required by law to issue passea
that no complaint could be made, and
on fils account he believes that such
bill would be the solution of the
problem. .. .. - • *•
