BUILD RAILROAD l
AGENT INQUrRING AS TO AN OLD
 SURVEY.
Anteress Ia Revived by Selmiaps in the Atlanta Air Line--News of
 the Central City.
Advertiser Bureau,

-
 Selma, Sept. 14.
 It was was made public today that for several days during the week there was a nhans in Selma making inquiries about the right of way for the com pany which was formed here many years ago to build railroad between this city and Atlanta and which was to have been known and was chartered as the Atlanta Air Line.
 The survey between Selma and Att ianta was made and actual work upon the construction of the road as far as doing the grading of about six or seven miles of the road was begun, but then the project was given up and since then the company has existed in name only.
 The company which was formed then still owns the right-of-way and still has the survey. Much of the stock in the road was subscribed fors by Sell mians, although the principal stock holder in the company Is Colonel Hand ley of Richmond. From the Selma stockholders. Colonel Handley gets proxies once a year and holds meet ing in Richmond. and 1t is believed that the survey and right-of-way of the road will be eventually bought and that the road will be built
 The stranger who was in Selma during the past week making inquiries about the right-of-way and the sur vey of this Atlanta Air Line was rather mysterious. He saw some Of the stockholders and to them he said he represented railroad which want ed to buy the right-of-way of the com pany. These stockholders are pleased at the prospects of getting some of the money back which they invested in the road years ago, and would glady dispose of their rights.
 A survey over the route of the At lanta Air Line was made about year ago by a party of engineers which suddenly appeared just east of here, and who surveyed into the city and to the banks of the Alabama River. It was believed then that they were sur yeying for the Atlanta, Brunswick and Atlantic, and 1t is now thought that the man who was here during the past xaek also ropresented that system

SATURDAY, MAY a, 1907.
Congressman Broussard Re-
warded.

Last Sunday a large gathering
of people were present at Du-
champs hall for the occasion of
the presentation of pretty gold
watch to Congressman F. r. Brons-
sard in appreciation Of his SER
vices in Congress in obtaining at
ter ten years of labor, the much
needed improvements of the Teche.
Nearly every seat in the hall was
occupied by the ladies', and the
men filled every space of standing
room.
Mr.. A. v. Fournet was called
upon to preside over this meeting
and a large list of names was read
and the persons named were re-
quested to take seats on the stage.
Mr.. Frank T. Guilbeau made
the presentation address most ele-
gantlv and with feeling; his beau
tiful Grafton went deep in the
heart of the Congressman, az
every one could see that it was
impossible for him to conceal his
emotion. ,[
The watch was presented to the
Congressman as a token and a
mark of the appreciation of his
services by the people of st. Mar
tin parish is a pretty jewel which
will be highly priced by Mr.. Brous
sard.
Mr.. Broussard was much affec-.
ted by the shower of bouquets
heaped upon him by Mr.. Guilbeau
in presenting him the jewel. and
in responding he opened his heart
and spoke most feelingly and told
them frankly that words could
not express his appreciation OF
this demonstration on the part of
the people of the people of this
parish.
Mr.. Broussard took this occa-
sion. to make some remark regard
ing other projected improvements
to the numerous waterways of this
section of Louisiana, and urged
the people to keep hammering al
every improvement that was need
ed and their efforts il persistent,
will always be rewarded by sue
cess.
After the close of this meeting
Congressman Broussard consulted
with some of his friends regard
ing his candidacy for the Cover
norship.
The opinion here seem to be d.
vided, some would like to SEQ him
remain in Congress. where they
believe be can do the most good
to bis people, while others are of
opinion that now is the time for
him to enter the fight for the Gov.
eruorship, as they seem to believe
that he will have clear sailing.
