LAWRENCEVILLE, GA., THURSDAY, APRIL 7, 1951.
WORK IS RESUMED ON
ATLANTASCAROLINARY.
Three Miles o! Track Have Been Laid
and Contract Let tor the Grading
from Atlanta to Augusta.
It will be of interest to our readers to
know that the construction of the At
lanta & Carolina Railway is now prac
tically an assured fact.
During the last week Mr. M. Mason,
president and general manager, took a
trip over the line from Atlanta to Au
gusta, Ga., with a party of contractors
and financiers, showingthem the route,
as well as the possibilities of business
from an operating standpoint.
Upon his return to Atlanta he entered
into a contract with the contractors of
the party, Messrs. Adams & Sturm, of
Columbus, Ohio, for the grading of the
entire line from Atlanta to Augusta, the
work on the first section from Atlanta
to Conyers to begin at once, or as soon
as grading forces can be gotten on the
ground.
The next section will be started at
the earliest possible moment, and Mr.
Mason states that if the people along
the line will lend him their hearty co
operation there is no reason why the
entire line should not be under con
struction within the present year. The
company has already laid about three
miles of track, and the work of con-
struction is going on as fast as material
can be had. The work of track laying
will be pushed as rapidly as the grading
can be done, and as soon as the com
pany gets a few miles completed equip
ment will be supplied and the operation
of the line will begin.

M’KERLEY ACQUITTED
OF MURDER CHARGE
State Failed to Make Out a Case and
Court Directed a Verdict ot Not Guiity.
Elrod Case Coming Up.
The extra term of the superior
court convened this morning for
the purpose of disposing of the
heavy docket of criminal cases.
Judge C. H. Brand is presiding
and Solicitor Clifford Walker is
looking after the state’s interest.
The first case to be disposed of
was that against Claud McKerley,
charged with the offense of mur
der. There were several wit
nesses who testified that McKerley
had told them that he hit T. F.
Rainey with a scantling, but all the
eye witnesses swore that Rainey
fell from the up stairs of a gin
house and that this caused his
death. The state agreed to a ver
dict of not guilty.
When court adjourned for din
ner it was engaged in the trial of
the case of Dolph Hutchins, charg
ed with the offense of manufactur
ing liquor. He was found not guilty.
The case’ of Kelley Elrod for
murder was sounded, but was
temporarily passed pending the
arrival of some witnesses. It is
likely that it will be taken up this
afternoon or tomorrow morning.
Among the visiting attorneys are
E. 0. Dobbs, S. M. Letford, Bu
ford; W. B. Sloan, Gainesville; T.
J. Shackelford Athens; Court Ste

reason of the untiring efforts of
the members of Jefferson Chapter,

a sufficient sum of money has been
raised with which to erect upon
the public square here a magnifi
cent marble monument to the con

of the “lost cause,” addressed the
gallant confederate veterans last
year at Jefferson and has been
especially invited by the Jeffer

deliver an address to them upon
the occasion of the unveiling of the

Col. Smith has been invited to

April 26th
Judge Robert Daniel, another
well-known orator, has been in
vited to deliver an address to the
confederate veterans at the un

place on April 26th and has accept
ed the invitation. All who know
this distinguished orator are con
fidently expecting a rare: treat, nor
will they be disappointed.
In addition to the above named
speakers, Mrs. Captain J. W. Bar

membered by Jefferson friends as
Miss India Hunter, has also been
invited to sing one or more solos
upon the occasion of the unveiling
of the confederate veterans monu
ment, and she has very kindly
! consented to do so, greatly to the
| delight of all our people.
The several confederate vet
■ cram camps of this county have
been especially invited to be pres
j ent at these exercises, and in ad
dition, every confederate veteran
i in this county is especially invited
, to attend, and it therefore is cer
-1 tain that a large crowd, probbaly
