qerstand that the Savannah and Pacific Short

sort OF antagonism of interest, for it is our in
tentiOn that the policy Of the road shall be the
building up OF our great State and the devel-
Opnent or the vast resources along the line
We desire the people should know that the in
tereSts OF the road will be their interest for
we recognize the fact that the more the coun-
try along the line Of the road is developed and
built up.and the richer the people become. the
larger and more prosperous will be our busi-
ness. We are anxious to work on
liberal basis, and desire the peo
pie all along the line to meet us
in the same spirit. OF course the exact Ioca-
tiOn OF the line Is a thing of the future, ana
cannot now be determined. 4 his will be gov
erned by circumstances, which the future can
only develop. AT our recent meeting in New

The Athens Banner WdtchmGn mentions in
high terms the heroic conduct of Miss Annie
Martin, a young lady of Aus usta, who was on
the train az the time Of the recent accident on
the Northeastern Railroad, and says: Miss
Martin was occupant of the first coach, and
was sitting beside Capt W. d. O'Farreil. When
tue car had settled on top Of the engine, and
the hot steam was pouring into the coach,
threatening TO suffocate all the inmates. Mr.
OFarrell threw a cloth over this lRdy's face,
to pro ect her from the steam, and passed her
out through the window unhurt. But Miss
Martin was not content with being saved her
SELF, but bravely set to work to rescue the other
occupants Of the steaming car. She instantly
rushed to the scene of the wreck, and with
her own hands saved the lives OF three per
sons, one of them a gentleman, by dragging
them through the car windows. How this
delicate young lady accomplished a task be-
fore which some of the stoutest men present
qualled, Is more than we can say. She seemed
endowed W tn supernatural strength. Miss
Martin, during the excitement, saw a lady
being crushed beneath the coach where she

Turning to a young man, who was standing
lily by at some distance, she asked him TO
rescue the party. I AN not going to risk my
life to save any one was the cowardly re-
spOnse. Miss NJ then, with her own hands,
eXtricated the victim, who proved to be
married lady, and dragged her to a place of
safety But it was at the expense of serious
injuries to herself, as she received bruises from

bucket after BUCKET of water, until the last
spark was extinguished in the engine. 1t must
be remembered that this heroism on the part
of Miss Martin was performed in the face OF
Imminent danger to herself, for after the ex

have her arm dislocated in two places, her side
badly scalded. besides serious bruises on her
body. Had she repaired to a place of safety

returning to the scene of danger, Miss Martin
