A. B.&A. MAY COME
INTO ATLANTA ON
HW.PiT
An effort la being made by the offi-
clala of the Atlanta, Birmingham and
Atlantic to secure trackage right* over
the Atlanta and West Point from At
lanta to LaGrange, in order that pas
senger schedules may be inaugurated
between Atlanta apd Brunswick. The
matter is now up to President Wicker-
sham, of the West Point Route, who
Is out of the city.
In the event arrangements can be
made this service will be established
early In January. The route followed
by the Atlanta. Birmingham and At
lantic from Brunswick to Birmingham
Ik a short line, and when the branch to
Atlanta from the main line at Warm
Springs Is completed a new route to
Brunswick will bo opened which will
be but a few miles longer thifn the
Southern from Atlanta to Brunswick.
Notwithstanding this difference of a
few miles, the officials of the new road
believe firmly that tho Atlanta, Bir
mingham and Atlantic can operate
trains between the two cities on better
schedule time than the Southern, thus
making a formidable competitive bid
for the passenger business. The *new
line opens a comparatively new section
of south Georgia, and will bring It
within a few hours of Atlanta.

Special to The Georgia ii.
Asheville, N. C„ Dec. 15.—The body
of a young man about 18 years of age
found Wednesday afternoon lying In
the road near Leicester with a bullet
hole through the head, has been Iden
tified a* that of Troy Foster, son of
John Foster, of South Carolina.
The body was discovered by two
small children. It was removed to Lei
cester and an autopsy held.
It was at first believed that the young
man had either been murdered or had
•ommltted suicide, but after a full In
vestigation the coroner’s Jury returned
a verdict that death probably resulted
from the accidental discharge of Fos
ter’s pistol. The weapon, a .38-callbre
Smith A Wesson revolver, was found
in the load a few feet from the body,
with one cartridge discharged. The
theory of the coroner’s physician is that
young Foster was examining the pistol
and holding it close to his face to look
down the barrel, the weapon was ac
cidentally discharged, the ball enter
ing the right eye.
