VETERANS AT TAYLOR oRREK.
The Liberty County Association Enter.

The Liberty County Association Enter
tains the Bryan County Men.
The Liberty county veterans entertained
the Bryan county association at Taylor
Creek day before yesterday. There were
also present many veterans from the ad join
ing counties.
By invitation of the association the
| Liberty Guards and the Constitutional
Guards acted as an escort to the veterans.
| The procession was formed in front of the
armory and marched to the church, the
hall being insufficient to accommodate the
| immense crowd
The meeting was called to order, and Sec
rotary j. o. Davis read letter from Capt
3. d. Bradwell, stating his inability to at
tend. In the absence of Capt. Bradwell,
who is president of LAberty's association,
Rev. A. j. Smith delivered the address Of
welcome to the visiting veterans.
| Maj. William Letford, president of the
Bryan county association, responded TO the
| address It was one Of his happiest efforts
and the old veterans could be seen on ali
sides wiping away the unbidden tear as they
were reminded Of the tolls and struggles OF
the EOS. At the close of his address Maj.
Letford read letter written by Capt. Smith
of the Twenty-tifth Georgia regiment Just
after tho battle Of Chickamauga, giving the
number of killed and wounded in his COM
pany. Maj. Letford very pathetically
alluded to some who fell in that struggle.
"Our Confederate Dead" was admirably
rendered by Miss Ruby Bradley. This
seeming diversion completely captivated
the audience, and Miss Bradley received a
vote Of thanks from the association.
After adjournment dinner was an
nounced, and an audience, estimated at
1,500, gathered around table loaded with
the best things of Liberty's hospitable citi-
zens. Having done justice to the dinner the
people repaired to the parade ground of the
Constitutional Guards The company
dressed in neat, new uniforms formed and
the old veterans looked with pride upon
their sons as they executed the commands
Of their captain with the ease and alacrity
of old soldiers
The Liberty Guards then contended for G
prize, which was awarded TO Lieut.. r. s.
Hendry.
Everybody had good time, and it wa
especially interesting to notice the LITTLE
groups Of veterans. the friends of the com
pany, as they chatted together. Many
were the jokes and little war incidents thai
they told. and many the handshake between
men who have seldom met since theil
separation In '65.

her husband in Au gusta seve raj years ago,
and after living with her nine months he
left her, saying he was unable to make
enough to support them both and they had
best go their separate ways

band In Savannah and they talked the
matter over. She wants to get married
again. He told her that would be all right /;
to just go to justice Of the peace and get
him TO write her cut divorce warrant. ~
and that would fix matters. The woman
was in earnest In wanting the justice to
divorce her, and was willing to pay for it,
Justice Patterson told her that while he
had powe TO marry people, he had no right
to divorce them. II she wanted a divorce
she could get it by paying a lawyer $50 as a
retainer and putting the case in his hands
When told that it would take a year 10

TO GO TO WORK AT ONCE.
THE BELT LINE ADOPTS THE WEST
INGHoUsE ELECTRIC MOTOR

The Electric Plant Ordered and 70 be
Erected on the Site of the Company's
Present Car Shed-rwenty Miles of
Wire to be Used In Making the Cir
cuit-The Engines for the Electric
Works to be Up Next Month.
The Belt Line has awarded the contract
for its electric plant. The Westinghouse
motor system has been agreed upon, and the
plant will be put in by the Westinghouse
Company. The poles are partly on the
ground, ready to be put up, and the electric
wire is already here. 1t takes over twenty
miles of wire for the entire line
The engines, from the Phoenix works of
Pittsburg, will be here ia thirty days. The
company will supply its power from works
to be located on the site of the company's
car shed, at Habersham and St James
streets The present car shed. with an addi-
ton 70 be built, will accommodate the
dynamos and engines.
The Westinghouse motor system is the
latest system of car motors, and embodies
the workings Of the older systems with a
number of improvements. 1t is now in
operation in Nashville, and is being intro
duced on a number of other lines.
The Belt Line will equip all of its Ste
phenson cars-the heavy cars-wlth motors
and will use the small cars as ''trailers,n
in making up trains. The motor cars will
be equipped with electric lights and cleo
trio bells, and all of the latest improve
ments. There will be no general change in
the appearance OF the cars.
The principal change required
for the motor equipment is new trucks.
The contract for the plant calls for the
delivery within thirty-five days, but with
the rush of orders at the works it is hardly
expected that it will be delivered much be-
fore Oct l. The work of putting up the
poles and stringing the wire will be fin
ished before the plant is up so that ever
ything will be ready for the road to be put
in Operation as soon as the dynamos are
started
President Cooper received a letter yester-
day from Mr.. Rhea OF Nashville stating
that the construction Of the plant will be
pushed by the Westinghouse Company, so
that the road may be equipped and put in
operation by electric motors as soon as pos
sible. That will probably be about Nov. l.
There will be number of changes in
the switches to provide for the quicker
schedule which will be run when the mo-
tors are put in. The present schedule is
twelve minutes. The electric motor sched-
ule will be eight minutes at first, and il
possible 1t will be reduced to six minutes,
running the belt in half the time it is run In
