WITH ATHENS AS TERMINUS,
MAKES NEW SHORT LINE TO

TOucE ed Along the Way-Popu-
Ious CountieA Trnversed win
Make Road Profitable From the
start, II is BeIisved-Mr. Cecil
Gabbett Leading Spirit In Enter
prise-Moans Much for savannah.
The owners of the Savannah and
Statesboro Railroad. as already an
nounced in the Morning News, have
applied for a charter for the Savannah,
Statesboro and Northern Railroad.
A preliminary survey OF the extern
sion has been made. and the proposed
route examined by the gentlemen in
terested, and they have expressed
themselves as well pleased with the
inducements offered BY the country
through which the road is to be built.
The railway now operated as the
those cities. will be incorporated into
the new company which will have a
point near Athens as its northern ter
minus, where 1t will connect with the
Seaboard Air Line for Atlanta and
Birmingham, and be the shortest line
TO the seacoast for those cities.
The route of the Savannah, States
boro and Northern Is through the CEN
ter of Bulloch county. thence to Gar
field, Emanuel county, where II will
cross the Millen Southern Railroad,
then to Midwife. on the boundary line
of Emanuel and Burke counties where
It intersects the Central of Georgia,
and the Midwife and Swainsboro Rail-
road thence 10 Louisville, Jefferson
county. connecting with the Louisville
and Wadley Railroad, Bisecting JEFF
ferson county, the Savannah, States
boro and Northern will cross the Au-
gusta Southern near Stapleton, and
thence to Thomson In McDuffie coun-
~, where II will intersect the Geor-
gia Railroad. Washington, Wilkes
county, is the next objective point and
Smithonia, Oglethorpe county, the
next, near which places II will connect
with the seaboard Air Line TO Athens
and beyond.
II is doubtful II there IL another line
projected in this state that could offer
building. The counties through which
the new railroad is to pass are the
richest and most populous in Georgia,
and a railroad. therefore, will not
have 70 walt until the country Is set
tied for It's income.
Never since the old Atlantic and Gulf
Railroad. (now the Atlantic Coast
Anel, opened South Georgia by extend
ing its tracks 10 brownsville and Balm
bridge, has there been a railroad that
has 80 much prospective trade IN II
and favorable from a business point OF
view for Savannah. as the project un-
der notice. IL means shorter distances
70 important interior cities, the cross
ing OF important railroads, thereby re-
ducing mileage rates 10 and from sa-
vannah. and the trade OF q rich terri
tory and well 10 do population.
To Mr.. Cecil Gabbett II due the hon.
or OF outlining this new field for rail
road development. Unless something
now unforeseen happens the new rail-
road viii be built its entire lenGth and
IN operation during the coming year.

ness houses have been decorated for
the carnival, though on account OF the
dav being so busy, the results were
somewhat limited To-day ana To-
morrow large number or merchants
will have the fronts of their stores
covered with white and blue, the car
nival colors.
DON'T Iniure Parade.
Military officers have been troubled
lest the business men refuse to let
their employees join in the parade TO-
morrow afternoon. Their position IS
that it is not parade for the SOL
diers, but parade for the penenl OF
the merchants and business men, and
that II is important to the employers
that there be as fine a. display as pos
sible. If there is to be a. parade, the
military officers feel the business men
should not interfere in any way by
falling to allow their men to take part.
The parade will consume about an
hour and a half in the afternoon.
The site chosen for the carnival Is
admirably located, being near good
residence section and having excellent
street car facilities. The section of the
city traversed by the A. and b. cars
in getting to the grounds contains
much of the new residence portion and
will make a good impression.
Thirty-sixth street, where the pas
sengers will leave the cars, Is paved
for a good part of the way, and has
broad stone pavements. At the re-
quest of Col. Estill, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, the city put
in proper shape other streets contigu-
Gus TO the grounds, which will be ira
versed by the crowds.
Through the efforts of Messrs. Dom
Ian and Stewart, the carnival has been
worked up. and the choice line of at
fractions secured. 1t only remains now
for the people to do their part by pa
tronizing the show, and the success
of the venture is assured. With fav-
orable weather there should be an at
tendance during the first two days of
over $4,000 inside the stadium.
The Seventh Cavalry, Company j,
which has been giving exhibition drills
at the State Fair In Macon for the
last week was rendered a barbecue
there yesterday and presented with
cup, the gift of the Macon Fair As
ISOLATION, Vice President George A.
Smith making the presentation
speech, and Lieut.. Caldwell making

HITCH AN IDOL OF
BULLOCK COUNTY
SAYS JUDGE n. 0. D. TWIGGs.
INVESTIGATION ny GRAND JURY
A vERITABLE FARCE.

Judge Twigss. who Was in states
boro when the Grand Jury Made
It's Presentments, says ProIni-
neDt Member OF the Jury Was n
Leader of the Mob, and That sew
eraI Members of the Mob Were on
the Jury.
The investigation by the BulIoch
county grand jury was a veritable
farce from beginning to end" said
Judge II. d. D. Twiggs. who has just
returned from Statesboro. He WAS
present when the grand jury read its
presentments after having investigat-
ed the lynching OF Reed and Cato. the
two negroes taken from the military.
which was under the command Of
Capt. Robert NJ. Hitch.
"One of the most prominent members
of the grand jury was. Il is alleged. a
leader Of the mob which burned the
negroes at the stake said Judge
Twiggs. This was the general talk
about the Court House. and it was ac-
cepted as true. And several Of the
members OF the jury were in the mob.
IL was asserted"
Judge Twiggs said Judge Daley made
an able and strong charge TO the grand
jury. He gave them the reports OF
the court OF inquiry and also OF the
court-martial, and told them that the
evidence contained IN these was sworn
TO. He told the jury they must find
indictments under their oath. IL the sv-
idence showed who had participated
In the lynching," said Judge Twiggs.
When the jury made its present
ments, stating that there was Insult
Sient eVluence, continued Judge
Twiggs. Judge Daley commented on
the fact, and said he was very sorry
no indictments had been found. The
whole county appears to be in sympa-
thy with the lynchers. Even those who
We're opposed TO the actual lynching
nov appear disposed to shield those
who took cart in IT,"
Hitch Ii an idol among the people
up there" said Judge Twiggs They
are talking about giving him a ban
duet. and ! was told by several peo-
pie he was the most popular man in
the country In Bulloch county. One
man went 50 far as 10 say he coald
get the unanimous support Of Bulloch
county for anything he wanted"
Judge Twiggs tells OF an amusing
incident that occurred while court was
IN session. One juror had gone OF be-
cause he said he was opposed to capt.
tai punishment
And that man carried more wood 10
the burning than any one about here"
said a bystander.

WEATHER ron NOVEMBER.

According 10 records in the local

years: Mean normal temperature, So
degrees: the warmest month was that

WON'T MOVE TRACKS
FROM WHITAKER STREET.


Company Must Pay.
President George j. Baldwin OF the
Savannah Electric Company. in his LETT
ter to Mayor Myers relative to the re-
moval of the Whitaker street car
tracks, refers to the bonds which were
mentioned In the Morning News, and
says any bondhoider could enjoin the
company from taking up the tracks.
provided an agreement should be reach
ed.
There is now. It appears. no chance
for the tracks TO be taken up. oppo-
sition has developed where It was un-
expected. and the line is really Of more
importance to the company and the
public than was at first supposed.
According TO Mr.. Baldwin's letter TO
the Mayor over 10000 people rode on
the line during the month Of septem-
Der. Mr.. Baldwin, IN his letter, states
he will be glad 10 meet with the City
Committee, and that he is always will
ing 10 aid the city In any way posi-
BILE.
His letter Is a very diplomatic one,
yet between the lines can be read the
fact that there 10 no chance OF getting
the company TO agree to remove the
tracks. Since the Investigation has
started the city officials themselves
have given up the matter. A confer
cnce will probably be held, as the
committee was appointed for that pur-
pose, but Il Is already known nothing
will be accomplished.
The paving Of the street. which was
discussed by the city officials at the
same time the removal OF the tracks
was being considered, has practically
been agreed upon by the leaders In
Council. As the car company is not
going 10 move the tracks, II viii have
10 pay the greater part OF the paving
bill. The paving. even without the
removal Of the tracks. will greatly re-
lleve the present congestion on Dray-
ton street, It is thought.

Have Resolutions Ready TO b'
Passed Next Saturday.

EasscU RCAt SAtuEOAxs
Only a few members were present
at the meeting of Post A, r. p. A.,
which was called for yesterday morning
at the Screven House.
Owing to the small attendance It was
decided to adjourn until next Saturday
afternoon at $3.50 o'clock. at which time
the Chamber OF Commerce, the Board
of Trade, the Retail Merchants AS
socfation and the other trade bodies
of the city will be requested to meet
with the post.
Arrangements are then to be made
for the T. p. A., convention which
is to be held here next year. A big
crowd is expected to visit the city
then and all the trade bodies will be
asked to assist in the entertainment.
A set of resolutions, which will be
introduced at the next meeting. indors-
ing Capt. Hitch. attorney for the 7.
p. AS, for his conduct at Statesboro
and condemning Gov. Terrell, were
read at the meeting yesterday, though
no action was taken. II is probable
that the resolutions will be passed, as
Capt. Hitch is closely identified with
the organization.
Lie IcoOiutlOtlo TCttu oh lCllOWS-
Resolved, That Post A, Travellers
Protective Association of America,
hereby expresses it's confidence in the
correctness of the judgment displayed
by Capt. r. NJ. Hitch at Statesboro
on Aug. Is and is, during the riot at
that point.
Resolved further. That 1t is the
sense of this post that we believe the
action Of the Governor In dismissing
Capt. Hitch from the Georgia State
Troop was unjust and unwarranted by
the facts, and in our opinion should
be rectified, If not by the Governor,
then by the next Legislature.
Resolved further, That a copy OF
these resolutions be transmitted to
the Governor by the secretary OF this
post and that additional copies be
sent to the State Committee of the
7. p. A. and to all the other posts in
the state"
