The Mercury at and Below Zero in the
Northwest.

The ice king still has its grip on the
throat of the northwest, and the mercury
was at zero at st. Paul, MINI, at O'Clock
last night, s. colder than it was Sunday
night. 1t is correspondingly cold through
out the entire northwest and in some places
is g. below zero, and is growing colder in
the south. At s o'clock last night the ten
perature at Atlanta had fallen to 81 and it
was only To- warmer at Mobile and Pensa-
cola The mercury at that hour had drop
ped to 49, here, quite a difference from tht
so of Sunday, and it is expected the freez
ing point will be reached this morning.
The indications for the next twenty-four
hours are for slightly colder weather in the
southeast portion of Georgia, and warmer
in the northwestern portion.

ANOTHER ROAD PUSHING SOUTH.
The Wadlev and Mount Vernon Lum-
Der Road Headed for Wayoross.


Der Road Headed for Wayoross.
Col. William Donovan of Wadley was in
the city yesterday. He said that the rail-
road which he has been using for lumber
purposes, extending from Wadley out to-
ward Mount Vernon, is gradually being
pushed toward the latter place, distance
Of about fifty miles. Some difficulty is
being experienced IN securing right of
way, which is the chief drawback to the
early completion of the road. The manage
ment contemplates extending the road on to
WaycrosS and perhaps further south in the
near future.
The section of country-Jefferso Eman-
uel aud Montgomery cOunties-thr0ugh
which the road will run, is well timbered.
If the road is extended on to WaycrCss it
will probably so through Appling county,
where it viii inteTsect the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad from Macon
to JesuD, and Ware or Pierce, both of
which are good timber counties. The road
was first built by Col. Donovan for
saw mill purposes, but it is thought that
when the extension is made to Mount Yer
non it will get other traffic, and if it Is run
to Waycross its facilities for conveying
freight and passengers over the shortest
rou to the gateway to Florida will be
large enough to command a good business.
%AaWith reference to the lumber business
Col. Donovan said that the lumbermen gen
orally throughout his section are dis
gruntled, and they have cause to be. Be-
fore the war; he said, freight rates were as
low or lower than they are now. Then the
lumber industry was not so great aud was
not such a feeder to the railroads, and
lumbermen could not then reasonably ex-
pect any large concessions. Lumber sold
for 81 more per thousand then than
now, and the hauling of timber
to the mills was a small matter, as the
majority of saw mills were located in the
midst of the forest. Notwithstanding these
advantages to the lumbermen, the railroads
took off % per cent. freight, with the I'M
Outstanding that if lumber rose i'll price, the
old rates would be re-established. Instead
of lumber rising, it has declined in price,
and yet the commission has added 20 per
cent. to the freight rate. Col Donovan
said that the demand for lumber is steady,
but the prices are not sufficient to give that
impetus to the industry that they should,
and if there is to be no reduction in the
rates or no concession by the commission,
the field will be a most Improbable one.
