WILL THE A., R. & A. SKI!' NEW
NAN?
In view of the movement to build a
railroad from Franklin via Newnan to
Aberdeen, on the A., B. & A. road,
which has been making such satisfac
tory headway during the past few days,
our people will be much interested in a
rumor to the effect that the A., B. &
A. road is making plans to build an ex
tension from I’yriton, Ala., direct to
Atlanta, thus furnishing quick connec
tion between Atlanta and the western
division of the A., B. & A. system.
Fyriton is about midway between Tal
ladega and Roanoke, and an air-line to
Atlanta would miss Newnan eight or
ten miles. Of course, railroad rumors
are not generally reliable, but the ob
vious necessity for a shorter line into
Atlanta from some point on the Bir
mingham division of the A., B. & A.
system invests this rumor with an im
portance that should be taken seriously.
The theory of modern railroad con^
atruction is to save distance, and if thc-
proposed extension were to follow n
direct line from Fyriton to Atlanta it
would probably cross the Chattahoo
chee river above Roscoe and intersect
the Brunswick division of the A., B. &
A. system at a point near Union City.
We call attention to this matter for
the purpose of impressing upon our
people the necessity of hurrying the
canvass for subscriptions for the pro
posed line from Franklin via Newnan
to the A.. B. & A. road. The reasons
for prompt and decisive action should
be apparent to everyone interested in
this enterprise. If the line is built
before the A., B. & A. gets ready to
build its extension, instead of building
direct to Atlanta the A., B. Kr A. may
find it expedient to build to Franklin
and use the Newnan and Franklin road
for its Atlanta connection from the
West.
The rumor to which we have referred
appeared in a recent issue of the Bir
mingham Ledger, and is as follows:
Within the present year the Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic railroad will
build a lino from Fyriton, Ala., direct
through to Atlanta. a«d replace the
route to Atlanta via Manchester with
this. It will inaugurate, after the
work is completed, a through passen
ger service from Birmingham to At
lanta, thus shortening the distance ma
terially. It is known that l’resident
Atkinson is endeavoring to get mon
ey in Boston, to be secured by re
ceivers’ certificates. This money will
enable the Atlanta. Birmingham and
Atlantic to finish the work imperative
in this State and Florida, after which
the new extension will be started and
rushed to completion. This connection
will add materially to the importance
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlan
tic, and will ennble the company to
compete with the present trunk lines
that center in Atlanta. The engineer
of the Atlanta, Birmingham and At
lantic have been surveying the route
between Fyriton and Atlanti, and all
that is now needed is the money with
which to build the line, it is said that
this can be quickly secured, and little
doubt exists that the Atlanta, Birming
ham and Atlantic will actually begin
work within a few months. This will
give Birmingham u new and direct con
nection with Atlanta. In addition to
freight business, passenger traffic will
have a new and quick route to Atlanta
and to Birmingham, whereas only two
exist at this time. Patrons will be en
abled to leave Birmingham late in the
afternoon, with dining car service,
sleep all night, and be ready to spend
the entire day in Atlanta without any
inconvenience.
Tom Hudson as He is Known.
A morions Times- Record or.
"Tom Hudson is the most unselfish
politician it has ever been my pleasure
to know.”
This is what a prominent Georgia
politician has to say of Georgia’s genial
Commissioner of Agriculture.
And then lie continued: "Toni Hud
son is one of the very few politicians in
Georgia who are not ul.vavs looking to
the main chance. He is not always
weighing his own personal interests in
the balance against everything he is
asked to do. He is willing to do a fa
vor evi n though there is to lie no re
sulting benefit to himself. He stands
true to his promises, even though he
could advance his personal political
fortunes liy ignoring them.”
What, a compliment for a politician to
enjoy ! A politician who is still unsel
fish, who has not degenerated into a
mere schemer and plotter, one who
gives a kindly grasp of the hand with
out thinking of »jte-getting, who does
a good service to a neighbor without
calculating closely where he will come
in on it, one who is not always adjust
ing the balances carefully to see that
he gets full returns for every act, offi
cial or otherwise, of Ids life.
What a pity Georgia, and every other
State, does not have a few more politi
cians and officials who are willing to
overlook their own interests at times
in a desire to be of service to others,
who are not always moved by the de
sire to advance their own selfish aims,
who are willing to even diminish their
jUGcrI strength to aid a friend or
lo a promise.
Tilly is Tom Hudson,
sure to his friends to
appreciated as such.

Pittsburg, Pa., Has Race Problem.
Pittsburg, Fa., Feb. 2.- -Eight white
girls have_been assaulted within the
past few weeks in the Hill district, oc
cupied by negro residents. Police Cap
tain .1. I). Murray, who is in charge of
the district, said: "There is only one
way to slop these numerous assaults.
Let the decent colored people of the
Hill district form a vigilance commit
tee; let them assist in punishing the
criminals of their own race, and the vi
cious negroes of that district will either
move or reform." Another prominent
officer said they ought to he hung when
caught.
Bessie Sigel, aged 19, was the victim
of an assault last night in front of St.
Bridget’s Roman Catholic church.
Within two hours Police Captain Mur
ray and Policemun Dennis Duffy had
picked up three suspects, and this
morning Charles M. Cook, of Wylie
avenue, was identified by the girl
whom he assaulted.
The second case was that of Kather
ine Donahue, aged IT), who lives with
her grandmother at No. 270 Thirty-
ninth street. R. A. French, colored,
of Snowden alley, was arrested, but as
the girl ho is alleged to have assaulted
was unable to appear against him he
was held until Monday. In six pre-
v’oas assault cases the police have ar
rested the perpetrators in each
stance.
i The police to-night raided a negro
quarter of the city and arrested more
than two hundred negroes. In the last
few weeks numerous attacks have been
made upon young white women and
girls. The action by thv police to
night was taken in an effort to stop
these attacks. Every negro who could
not tell wherejie worked was arrested
as a vargant. ’An effort will be made
to send all of them to the work-house.
The Brown Plan.
Hnwkinsvillc Dispatch and Nows.
The fact that "Little Joe” Brown is
a different sort from the average poli
tician is attracting attention. Mr.
Brown is studying his constituency af
ter the election to find out what the
people want him to do. Generally
speaking, the office-seeker studies his
people before the election, to ascertain
what he can promise them, and after
the election they see nothing more of
him until he becomes a candidate again.
Tlie Brown plan is one that has much
to commend it.—Savannah News.
The News is correct. Mr. Brown is
quite different from the average politi
cian and office-seeker, because everv-
! thing he says and does is generally
marked by good common sense and
sound judgment. In going about anr
having thes? heart to-hoart talks with
the people he is simply carrying out
the promises that he made when he be
came a candidate for Governor, and af
ter he has.found out what they want
and need he will be in better position
to serve them when he enters upon the
discharge of his duties as the State’s
Chief Executive.
Florida Will Go For Prohibition.
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 2. The fea
ture of to-day’s conference of the Anti-
Saloon League supporters ot the South
were reports by each official present on
conditions in his State.
Among those making reports was Su
perintendent Collins, of Florida, who
said there were hut sixteen wet towns
in his State, and the majority of both
Houses of the Legislature, which meets
in April, are pledged to submit a Con
stitutional amendment to the people
providing for prohibition. He said this'
would carry by 25,000.
Superintendent West, of Kentucky,
said his State probably would be the
last to go for prohibition.
Taft to Be Made a Mason at Sight.
Cincinnati, Ohio.—The Grand Master
of the Ohio Masons has tendered to
William Howard Taft the rare and high
honor of being made a Mason at sight.
Judge Taft has accepted, and will re
turn to Cincinnati Feb 18. when the
Grand Master will convene a distin
guished company of Masons and exer
cise tiie high prerogative which belongs
only to the Grand Master of Masons.
This honor is so rarely conferred that
there is but a single instance of it on
record in a hundred years of history of
Masonry in Ohio.
Negro Life Insurance Company.
Atlanta, Gn., Jan. 27.—The first ne
gro insurance company on record was
chartered to-day by Secretary of State
Cook. It is known as the Standard Life
Insurance Co., and has a capital of
$390,000. The incorporators are all col
ored citizens of Atlanta and Georgia
except one, who is from Tuskegee In
stitute II. A. Rucker. Collector of In

“Little Joe” Brown Kissed by Young
Woman.
Brunswick, Ga., Jan. 28.—Governor-
elect Joseph M. Brown left over the
Southern for Jesup, where he spoke to
day. At the station, in the presence of
a large crowd, he was kissed good-bve
by Miss Mildred Thompson, one of the
teachers here in the public schools.
Miss Thompson was formerly a neigh
bor of the Browns in Marietta.
—The law that taxes a piece of prop
erty and also the note for the purchase
money is unjust. Under this law, if
A buys a piece of property from B for
$1,000 on a credit, giving B his note,
from that time forward a tax must be
paid on both the property and the note.
A pays the tax on the property and B
| pays the tax on the note. A does not
own the place until he pays fur it. and
until he does pay for it is only in con
trol of it. That is a double tax the
property that paid $5 ta.' es before the
purchase by A now pays ?10. Mariet-

i —The hunting casualties during 1908
show a slight reduction over those of
1907. There were 160 hunters killed,
and 126 injured. We find 368 deaths

while the number of injured was 3,820.
It appears that 39 persons were killed

—Two neighbors in a Missouri village
were arrested for fighting and brought
into court. The Judge asked the as
