Mile of Lafayette Railroad is
Torn Up
WILL Be SOLD AT AUCTION
Rumors Have Been Current for Some
Time That the Central of Geor-
gia Had Acquired the
Line.
WILL Be SOLD AT AUCTION

Opelika, April 26-(Specal.)- .)-This after
noon the business men of this city are
wrought to a high pitch of excitement
and indignation over the news that the
tracks of the Merchant Line" the rail-
way built by the citizens of Lee and
Chambers countbss, connecting Opelika
and Lafayette, respective county seats, is
today being torn up.
The road was built nine years ago at a
cost of s125,0O0 to secure competition in
transporting freight to Lafayette, which
was isolated from railways, save on the
branch line of the Central of Georgia,
which passed through and on to Roanoke
In the next county north.
While for months past there have been
rlimors that the Central had bought up
the Merchants Line, It was stated on the
