PUSHING FARTHER SOUTH.
The Georgia Southern and Florida
Territory Booming,


Territory Booming.
Major A. c. Knapp, traffic manager of
the Georgia Southern and Florida railroad.
spent yesterday in the city. Major Knapp
reports a heavy business on his road, which
has just been completed from Macon to
Valdosta, a distance of 152 miles. Major
Knapp SAYS that work is going right ahead
and the road is being pushed to Lake City,
distance Of sixty miles, aud then on to
Palatka, seventy miles farther down.
Manager Knapp said that the lumber
business on that portion of the road which
is completed is enormous. In distance of
less than 100 miles over twenty saw mills
have been started and are in active opera
ton. The lumber territory, he said, is a
large one, and will afford business for many
more mills, which are now being put up.
Over fifteen turpentine stills are in opera
ton along the line.
The road when completed to Palatka
will be the shortest route from Macon, and
consequently Chattanooga and the west to
Florida. 1t will be the shortest route from
Macon to Jacksonville by twelve miles. IL
is already shorter route to Valdosta by
seventy miles than any other road.
AS to the territory, Maj. Knapp
said that it is territory that no other road
can claim. 1t was undeveloped and the
VI dliS ~ gave W lue OF Jile trade III
gave to any city was inconsiderable, Since
the new line has passed through it an i'm
petus has been given TO all industries to
which the territory was adapted, and a con-
siderable revenue, that was not before
revenue, has been C Gated, and an oppor-
tunity has been afforded the people to get
facilities for handling their productions
that were wholly unknown before the road
was built.
Maj. Knapp said that the water melon
traffic will DO very heavy this season. With
a view to affording the necessary facilities
this new line mas all of its cars made, com
bination style. By this means both the
summer and winter business can be handled
by the same cars. He said that the tele-
graph line had been completed, and that
telegraph station was established on every
ten miles of the road. Maj Knapp saws
tue line is doing a far better bu mess than
the management expected.

A COUNTRY JUSTICE IN A FIX.
The Occasional Disadvantages OF Of
fetal Position.

The Occasional Disadvantages OF Of
fetal Position.
II the story Is true that is told of a
justice of the peace, who has recently been
elected in the western district of the county,
he will find the Office very expensive and
laborious one.
The location of the Justices Office affords
little accommodation for prisoners who have
the misfortune to be dealt with after dark.
The constable for the district recently ar
rested colored man charged with assault
ing and abusing white man. He reached
the magistrates Office with the prisoner just
after nightfall. The Justice had
been attending to professional duties in
the city, and reached his office just about
the time the constable arrived with the
prisoner. Whether the justice asked the
constable what on earth he meant by ar
resting people that time of day does not
matter, inasmuch as he was in the soup.
All the trains had passed, and there was no
way of bringing the party to the city
There was no way out of holding the ne
gro until the next morning, for the down
train. The justice called the court to or
der and began the examination to while
away time 1t took but short time how
ever, to find that the prisoner was an old
timer, and was yawning for place behind
the bars. So the court demanded bond, or
the man would be locked up. The prisoner
was unable to give bond and the dilemma
was before them. 1t was sit up all night
with the negro, or else, by closing an eye,
let him 60 scot-free.
The court ordered the prisoner taken
to the Justices house, where the watching
began. A 81 load of wood was used up
during the night and the justice divided
the time with his officer, and sat up until
midnight. The court said that the law had
to be upheld if it took every piece of light
wood in Chatham county, and he had to
sit up six nights out of week. While the
officers watched, and the lightwood burned
the prisoner slumbersd. Somebody said he
would not have ran away from that
fire if he was going to be hanged.
That night of watching, though, was not
all to which the suffering court was des-
tined. The prisoner had to be brought to
the city to be put in Jail and an officer had
to bring him. The fare was several dollars
The constable, who was out of purchasing
power and who had not renewed his annual
pass over the road, suggested that the pris-
oner furnish the money for the tickets
since he was going to Jail and from there
to the chain-gang, where he would have no
use for money. The prisoner refused b.
cause he did not have the spare change
The court, who had hoped that the officer
and the prisoner could adjust the matter,
said that the law had to he upheld if it cost
him every cent he had in his pocket, which
happened to be just enough to pay the
officers and prisoners fare The magis-
trate threatened to resign the office, but he
was told that his only means of recovering
what he had invested was by sticking to the
office, and at last accounts he was holding
