Savannah, Ga, July 9.-Editor of the
Morning News: Apropos of the present
interest felt in the extension of the
states road to the sea, / deem it not
amiss to call your attention to a sug-
gested route which is not only highly
favorable to Savannah, but would de-
Vefop a very important section of the
state.
Take your map and trace route
from Atlanta southeast along the val
ley of South river to its junction with
Yellow river, thence to Monticello in
Jasper county, thence to Eatonton in
putnam, thence to Sparta thence TO
Gibson, thence to Wayuesboro. thence
to Sylvania. thence to Springfield. and
on to Savannah, and you have a route
which goes through a rich farrnine
section, and through fiourishing towns.
and gives an east and west line to all
the towns named. their present connec-
tons being north and south 1t does
not seriously parallel any existing
lines, as 1t is nearly an average of for
~ miles across this territory from the
Central Railroad on the south to the
Georgia Railroad on the north. and
would be the shortest existing line be-
tween Atlanta and the sea. and the
shortest possible line through thick
ly settled freight reproducing territory
The distance by this route is roughly
estimated at 26O miles.

SHORT LIVED LIBERTY.

Frank Hubert, youthful miscreant
who was sent to the changing a short
time ago to serve two morths, escaped
yesterday.
Hubberts liberty was short-uved.
Instead of taking to the tall timbers
as do all of those who succeed in elud-
ing the guard, he came at once to the
city. Clerk Butler notified Chief Gar
funkel of the escape, and shortly aft
erwards Detective Murphy landed his
man.
Hubberts dash for liberty will be
dearly paid for by him. He will be
up before Judge Norwood to-day in

an escape, and will get a few more
months added to his former short SEN
tence.
