WORK SOON TO BEGIN-
QainesviIle-Jefferson-Athens Rail
way Link Soon To Be Welded.
Gainesville and Athens are soon
to be connected by a direct line
of broad guage railroad. After
innumerable delays, all arrange
ments for the building of the line
from Athens to Jefferson and
broadening the guage from Gain
esville to Jefferron have been
completed. The preliminaries
necessary to start the work are
now being made and as soon as
everything is in readiness the act
ual work on the new road will be
started.
A corps of engineers will at an
early date start their work on the
line between Athens and Jefferson
and in their wake will go the men
who will bring the road to the
proper grade. It is expected that
grading on the road will be under
way within the next few weeks.
Mr. Baldwin was in Athens a
few days ago to close up all de
tails for the active construction.
It is understood that the contract
for the road’s construction has
been let to a Savanah firm. When
all this work is completed the
road will be a standard broad
guage road from Athens to Gain
esville and it is quite likely that
it will be extended from Gaines
ville to the Chestatee pyrites
mines in Lumpkin county.

Use Cotton Sacks.
Hon. Harvie Jordan advises the

to substitute ootton sacking and
bagging for guano and ootton

“The use of jute baggiDg is a
curse to our oountry, when we oar*
use cotton for guauo sacks and
ootton wrapping just as well
and muoh better.than we can the
jute, which we pay $25,000,000
royalty on eaoh year to have im
ported to this oonutry. The farmers
have it in their owu hands to de
mand that their fertilizers be sold
in ootton sacks, and demand that
th6ir cotton be wrapped in cotton
bagging, and they should do it
When we demand this it will be
done, and this alone will utilize
2,000,000, bales of our cotton.
There is no over-prod uotion, the
mills need it. They will go into
September with only a very small
reserve, but when we use more of
u ourselves the demand will be
greater."
