Connecting Lines Have Been
Bought Up and Missing
Links will Be Built
Immediately.

Almost the sole topic of con-
versation in local commercial cir
cles yesterday was the proposed
new railroad from Augusta to
Valdosta, announcement of who's
certain completion within a very
short time was made in Sum
days Chronicle, and every bust.
ness man who was approached
on the subject spoke most en-
Enthusiastically of the matter.
The thug that appealed to
them most was the fact that de-
flute action had been taken and
the prompt completion of the
project is assured, every one
having long been familiar with
the attrac,iveness of the PROPOSE
ton. Additional confidence was
felt because of the fact that Mr..
John Shelton Williams heads the
enterprise and because reality
was lent the whole affair by the
sale in this city Saturday of Au.
gusta aud Florida, which already
has 10 operation ~ miles of track
from Keysvil1e on the Augusta
Southern, to Swainsboro in
Emanuel county.
From sources that can not be
questioned the statement Is re-
i Grated that the project is GER.
tain of completion, in fact, the
mai ,r portion of the scheme, the
purchase of the series of short
lines. having already been accom-.
plished, and it is declared that be-
fore the year 1908 shall have arriv-
ed thro trains will be running
from Augusta to Valdosta, a dis.
lance of ESQ niles, and traversing
one of the finest sections of
country in the whole South,
which heretofore has been seal
ed book to Augusta.
In addition there will be in op-
GRAFTON about Is miles Of tribu-
tary lines, which there are COM
pauon projects afoot, that mean
almost as much, for i. is contem-
plated that by connections direct
CON munication shall be esta blish.
ed with two other very import.
aut points in Georgia. AS much
as the completion of the trunk
line to Valdosta will mean, it is
equally as certain that it will be
pushed on to the gulf of Mexico,
although, of course, this will
come last of all and will be much
longer ia accomplishment.
