FITZGERALD, GEORGIA, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17. 1906,
Augusta & aGuli R. R.
Seems Assured Fact
Connecting Lines Have Been
Bought Up and Missing
Links will Be Built
Immediately.
, Almost tlre sole topic of con
[versation in local commercial cir
icles yesterday was the proposed
new railroad from Augusta to
'Valdosta, announcement of whos
certain completion within a very
short time was made in Sun
day’s Chronicle, and every busi
ness man who was approached
on the subjact spoke most en
thusiastically of the matter. ]
The thiag that appealed to
them most was the fact that de
finite action had been taken aad
the prompt completion of the
project is assured, every one
having long been familiar with
the attractiveness of the proposi
tion. Additional confidence was
felt because of the fact that Mr.
John Skelton Williams heads the
enterprise and because reality
was lent the wholeaffair by thel
salein this city Saturday of Au
gusta and Florida, which already
has ia operation 47 miles of track
from Keysville on the Aug'usta4
Southern, to Swainsboro in
Emanuel county.
From sources that can not be
questioned the statement is re
i erated that the project is cer
tain of completion, in fact, the]
majrr portion of the scheme, the |
purchase of the series of short
lines, having already beea accom
plished, and it ts declared that be
fore the year 1908 shall havearriv
ed thro trains will be runniog
from Augusta to Valdosta, a dis
tance of 250 miles, and traversing
one of the finest sections of
country in the whole South,
which heretofore has been a szal
ed book to Augusta.
In addition there will be in op
eration about 75 miles of tribu
tary lines, which there are com
paacn projects afoot, that mean
almost as much, for it is contem
plated that by coanectioas direct
commuaication shall be establish
ed with two other very import
aat points ia Georgia. As much
as the completion of the trunk
line to Valdosta will meaa, it is\
equally as certaia that it will be
pushed on to the gulf of Mexico,
although, of course, this will
come last of all and will be much
longer ia accomplishment,
Mr. James U. Jackson was seen
yesterday upon his retura from
'New York and questioned in re
gard to the matter, in which he
is interested indirectly stated
that while in the metropolis he
held a conference with Mr. Wll
iams and that the latter, accom
{panied by Mr. Mittendorf, is
oow touring the south, and Mr.
'Jackson expects the twotoarrive

in Augusta within a week’s time,
when several details will be work
ed out.
Mr. Jackson made the further
important annouancement thata
promineant railroad maa, wellaad
favorably kaown throughout this
secton, would immediately move
his headquarters to Augusta and
personally take charge of the
traffic departmeant and superio
tead the work of coastruction.
All of the small lines will be im
mediately overhauled and placed
in first class shape, while the
first liak to be built will be oae
of about ten mile from Mudville
to Garficld, conoecting the Augu
sta and Florida with the Millen
aad Southwestern. The latter
road which is a partof the com
bine, now haviog in operation 54
miles of track trom Millen on
the Ceantral to Vidalia on the
Seaboard, giving a through lioe of
about 80 miles from Keysville to
‘Vidalla. At the same time the
other liak will be in process of
construction so that all shall be
completed almost simultaneously
and the entire line to Valdosta be
ready at once.—Augusta Chroa

A Conscientious Contractor,
Our new court-house will be
completed and turned over to
the county officials on Monday
next. Whie the work is now
about finished, Contractor Jav is
going over the building carefully
to see that every specification has
been carried out.
’ Architect Dillion gives the
ihigbest praise to Mr. W. T. Jay
for the thoroughness with which
ihe has ‘‘hewed to the line.” A
more coascieatious contractor
dees notlive than Mr. W. T\ Jay,
and he was ably assisted by his
igood father. Mr. J. L. Jay. The
‘editor of the Reporter has known
‘these gentlemen for thirty years.
and he always found them true
toevery obligation. They are true
Southern gentlemen.
Every man who did their part
on our court-house is entitled to
praise. They did theirwork well,

Lovejoy and Lloyd Garrison
weredragged through thestreets
withia the recollection of men
and women now living. Their
crime was promulgatinga princi

—freedom toall human beings.
La'er obn, thousands of men
foughtand died for that principle,
Today the whole nation rejoic:s
over the preservation of that
principle.
African slavery was nothing
compared to the bondage of the
American saloon that forges its
chains upon white and black, it
knows no color line. African
s'avery only enchained the

An exchange says thata Lau
rens county girl recently sent
50 cents to a Chicago advertiser
for a receipt to whiten and keep
the bands soft. She received tbe
following reply: “Svak them
three times a day in dish water
while your mother rests.” Tte
Enterprise recommends the
same treatment, free of charge,
to Fi'zgerald girls.
The heavy editor of the Ent
erprise contended that the dish
water will harden the hands but
improves the girl, but his not a
girl—therefore not a good judge.
