Modern Machinery
Faster Than By
There has been quite a bit of
excitement on the
Railway lately. Last may we
had an article about the South¬
ern Railway machinery coming
to the county. This
has now reached New England.
It is painted a bright yellow
color and can be easily noticed
from the highway.
There are five pieces
machinery in the outfit. One
machine goes along the
jacking up rails. The old
ties are pushed out and
new ones are pushed into
all by machinery. The old
are then stacked up, by mach¬
inery with approximately 16
a pile. The machine then
along and picks up the stack
ties.
A large machine tamps in the
new cross ties in just a
fraction of the time it
take 10 men. This
seems very remarkable;

Another machine comes

The last piece of

WRECK KILLS GIRL
Four persons were injured, one
fatally, in a car-truck collision
near New England, about 7:40
Tuesday night.
Miss Carol Taylor, 14, of Sylv-
ania, Alabama, died shortly after
the accident.
Injured were her sister, Mrs.
Sandra Deerman, 18, of Ross-
ville, her brother-in-law, Ray¬
ford Deerman, 22, and George
Bolton, 25, of Jasper, Tennessee.
The accident occured when
Bolton, driving a one-ton truck
north collided head-on with the
Deerman car.
Clinton MoBryer, Trenton, had
slowed down for a left turn
when the truck passed him, strik¬
ing the car. Bolton will probably
face a manslaughter charge.
Community Level Progess
Cited All Over The State
How does it happen, one
might ask, that Georgia’s Par¬
ade of Progress keeps moving
forward on virtually every
front?
The answer is simple," says
g co tt Candler, secretary of the
Georgia Departmens of Com¬
merce. ‘‘Impetus for over-all
prosperity of a state comes
from the local level—and Geo¬
rgia is made up of active pro¬
gressive communities in all of
her 159 counties."
To prove his point, Candler
pointed to a number of Geor¬
gia communites of all sizes
