MUST FACE THE JURY

Judge Speer in the United States dis
trict court for the southern district of
Georgia. having heard argument on the
pleas of abatement and demurrer to the
Indictment in the case of the United
States against Oberlin NJ. Carter. Benja-
min Lee Greene and the Gaynors. has sus-
tanned the demurrers to counts nine and
ten in the indictment and overruled the
demurrers to the other eight counts. The
case has now been set for trial on its
merits for March. 10. and II is expected
that fully three months will be occupied
in hearing the case.
When before Judge Brown Of the fed
eral court in New York, it will be re-
membered that eight counts were held
defective and two good, thus between the
two Judges II counts have been held de-
fective. The case is one of great inter-
est. Captain Carter, Greene and the Gay
nors, John F., William I. and E. H, are
charged with conspiracy to defraud the
government.
At the coming trial Attorneys Sam
Adams and Marion Erwin will represent
the government and Fielder & Rountree,
f. G.. duBignon and Walter G. Charlton
will represent the defense. BY this trial
the guilt or innocence of the Gaynors will
be determined, previous hearings having
been mere legal sl5irmishing. Col. Tom
Fielder who has returned from Savannah,
says Judge Speer presided with dignity
and eminent fairness.

TALLULAH EXTENSION
MAY COME HERE
ILLINOIS CENTRAL SAID TO BE BE-
HIND SCHEME TO EXTEND
SHORT LINE.

The much-talked-of extension of the
Tallulah Falls railway to Franklin, n. C,
is now an assured fact and with the an
nouncement comes the report that the
Illinois Central is back of the operation.
This means in all probability, new
road into Atlanta. The extension alone
would give Atlantians who go to Tallulah
easy transportation into a new section,
which has long been without railroad
facilities and within twelve miles of High
lands, a popular resort, where hundreds
are in the habit of going every year.
This route, however, assumes greater
aspect when it is known the Illinois Cen
trail is back of the enterprise. 1t is not
many miles from Franklin, n. C., to
Knoxville, Tenn, where connection would
be made with the Tennessee Central,
which has rails into Nashville, where 1t Is
thought the Illinois Central will eventual
~ build and gain control of the Tennes-
see Central.
The work of extending the Tallulah
Falls railway from Tallulah Falls
to Franklin. N c., distance ef 4S
miles will begin in ten days and is to be
completed by September 1st. z. r. Gil
christ, chief engineer of the road, was
in Atlanta Saturday for the purpose of
letting contracts for the work and has
already closed a contract for the build
ing of five and oue-half miles of the road
with Fred Wagner, an Atlanta con-
tractor.
The route of the extension will be due
north 1t will cross the Tallulah river,
a mile from Tallulah Falls, and run
through. Rabun county to Clayton, and
then into Franklin, Macon county, n. c.

FITZGERALD STARTS TOWN
IN OKLAHOMA TERRITORY

Col. P. H. Fitzgerald, so well known in
the south and especially in Georgia, where
he organized the town of Fitzgerald, has
been heard of again. This time he has
opened a town which bears his name in
Oklahoma, twelve miles north of White
head. Fitzgerald. o. T., is situated in
the center of the old Fort Supply military
reservation. The town was opened by
the Fitzgerald Land company on January
%, and inside Of four days 400 people were
resident of the place. The town is loca-
ted on a slight elevation above the
Wolf and Beaver rivers, and is surround
ed by a fertile farming district of $4,000
acres, which is rapidly settling up with
farmers from all parts of the United
States. These men have planted wheat
oats, corn, kaffir corn, broom corn and
castor beans. The soil is believed also to
be well adapted to the raising Of cotton
and many acres of this staple will be
planted.
In selling this vast tract of land the
United States government reserved the
old fort buildings and a wonderful spring,
which formerly supplied the garrison sta
toned there, and which contains many
medicinal properties. The government has
already decided to establish a national
asylum at the old fort, but its nature. has
not yet been determined.
