TO EXTEND TO CORDELE.
Waycross Air Line Oficials Have
Important Meeting.

waycross, Ga. May 27-An important
meeting of Waycross Air Line Railroad
officials was held this morning at the
First National Bank in this city. There
were present at the meeting Capt. w. G.
Raoul, president of the road, of Atlanta,
Mr.. Minis of Savannah, George Dale
Wadley. vice president and general man.
eger; j. f. Wadley, treasurer; ]. L.
Sweat, general counsel. and others.
Among other business transacted was
the completion of the arrangements for
beginning the extension of the Air Line
from Fitzgerald to Cordele. The survey
ing corps has already been at work, and
a permanent line will be located, and in
a very short time the construction forces
will be at work one the extension. The
distance from Fitzgerald to Cordele Is
about thirty or thirty-fve miles. The
country is about the same as the section
between Douglas and Fitzgerald. 1t is al
most entirely free from large streams,
and the line can be constructed easily,
as there are no difficult trestles to build
prominent Air Line official said to-
day that he fully expected Waycross Air
Line trains would be running into Cor
dele by the first day of January next.
"Of course" said he, ''it takes some time
to build thirty-five miles of road, but
see no good reason why this should not
be done during the present year"
The same official was asked as to the
rumor OF the sale of the Air Line pub
lished in an afternoon paper here
and sent out in the press dis
patches. He said, so far as
he knew, there was absolutely
no foundation for the rumor. The owners
of the road have not been seeking to
dispose of it and there was no sort of
deal on foot between the officials and
any other system.
II think the best argument against the
reported sale of the road" said he, sis
the fact that the Air Line is going right
ahead with the work of construction on
the new extension"

Let me tell you: you can say what you
please, but the square dance leads to the

say that don't matter. you're a man and

You amt blushing. are you brethren?"
the evangelist asked as he turned to the
ministers. There was no audible answer
from them and the question was not
asked the congregation as the fact that
many were blushing was too palpable to
need an inquiry to develop it.
Mr. Jones again referring to his own
experience, said that when he was young
he too had frolicked, danced and had n
big time, but when he decided to get mar
ried he told all of the bail room girls
good bye, went away off to Kentucky and
married a prayer-meeting girl, and" he
continued. 81 wouldn't give her for all

Continuing the same subject he said
that round dancing was nothing in the
world but hugging set to music, and that
no decent girl would think of sitting in
the parlor and allowing a young man to
get the grip on her that he used In the
round dance.
Then the evangelist made another in
terruption in the line of thought to say:
Some of you fellows said Sam Jones

After some further remarks on the
same subject the evangelist referred to
the visible results in other towns of some
of his evangelistic work, and said that
he thanked God that though he had led
many young men away from the church
in his youth he had by his labors man.
