TO PUT The
ROAD THROUGH
THIS WAY
Plans for Fine Route Jack
SOnViIIe to Atlanta.
Interest in North Florida is Steady
Rising and With Proper CO.OpGFa
ton in This Section Of Georgia
Project Can Be Made q Success.

New life has been impaired 10 the
great plan for a magnificent highway
/ from jacksonville to Atlanta, and there
/ is every reason to believe that the
enthusiasm of the Florida people VIII
put it through and that, if this section
of the state awakens TO its opportun-
ity, it will come via Americas, and put
this city on the route that will be
traversed by thousands Of tourists
from the North, West and South, eager
to avail themselves of such an oppor
tunity for a spin through the rapidly
developing parts of Georgia and
Florida.
Mr. Lee Council, while in Florida
few days ago had several conversa-
lions with Mr.. w. ]. Hillman, OF Live
Oak and Jacksonville. Mr. Hillman,
one of the wealthiest and most pro-
gressive citizens of Florida, is an EN-
thusiast about the proposed high
way, and will bend every energy to-
ward securing its construction in the
near future. over in Jacksonville, ne
stated to Mr.. Council, the feeling N
favor of highway is very pronounc-
ed and the business men there are all
willing to cooperate in making the
plan a success.
The route that is meeting with much
favor, and that can be made the Off
cial route if the people of Southwest
/ Georgia take advantage of the oppor-
tunity and put in some effective ticks,
is from Jacksonville to Atlanta. via
Live Oak, Madison, Monticello Thorn
asville, Pelham, Albany, Americas,
Montezuma, Macon and on to Atlanta.
The beauty of this route is that IN
Georgia the bulk of it is already a
magnificent series of highways that
merely need a few little connecting
links to weld them into a complete
up-to-date highway from the state line
clean through to the capital Any
other route taken through Georgia will
mean the encountering of sand bends,
where clay is almost entirely absent,
and good roads, such as are to be found
in this section. are almost impossible
except at a great expense.
1t is believed that the hearty CO.
operation of all the trade organizations
along the route in Georgia can be en-
listed, and that acting in conjunction
with the Board of Trade of Jackson
vile and the leading business men ii
North Florida that a sufficient impe-
tus can be given to the plan to put il
through before another year has pass
ed
Mr. Council reports an ever-increas-
ing interest in good roads generally IN
Florida, and that this project has very
strongly appealed to the imaginations
of prominent men

A GREAT GEORGIA
ANGORA GOAT RANCH
Dutch Queen Among Those
Said to Be Interested.

Copperhill, Tenn, January 21-For-
merIy in the reduction of the ores Of
the Ducktown copper basin in North
Georgia and Tennessee, the Tennessee
Copper Company and the other large
smelters used millions of cords OF
wood to supply which the vast acreage
of forest wilderness in their immediate
vicinity was denuded and everything
used, except the dead and rotten trees
+ useless for this purpose, which We're
left standing,
This old forest area has in the last
few years put on a magnificent carpet
OF velYety grass, and being well above
the cattle quarantine line is available
for pasturage and grazing, capable Of
sustaining thousands of head OF cat
tie, sheep and goats,
To emphasize the Importance Of this
subject, and the attention this terri
tory is attracting, recently a Dutch
syndicate headed by Queen WiIhel-
nina, of Holland, has acquired a vast
acreage of grazing and pasture lands
in this neighborhood with a view TO
establishing an angora goat ranch on
a very large scale.
Tt will be remembered that the first
herd of angoras ever brought to Amer
lea was presented to DR.. James B. Da-
Wis, of South Carolina, by the Sultan
of Turkey, and consisted of nine head.
From him Col. Dick Peters, of At
lanta, secured two pairs and carried
them to North Georgia, where he cross
ed them so successfully with the native
stock, that today every angora goat
in the United States contains a strain
of the original importation.

war and for few years after the

but his most effective work was done
in the fight to check the extension Of
slavery and to preserve the territories
for freedom. Greelys faith in the fu-
ture OF the vast region on the sunset
side of the Mississippi was justified
even in larger degree than he expect
ed. For many years and until its en-
aetment in 1862, he was pronounced
champion Of the homestead law, which
was a large factor in peopling tho
West. Among the farmers between the
Alleghanies and the Rocky mountains

Baltimore, Md, January 27.-Leav-

failure to settle a bill, Harry Smith
and his wife, Mary, the former "A and
the latter 10 years old, lived in the
woods near Dundalk three days. While
the husband hunted vainly for a job
his young wife waited now in one
place and then in another for the
news which would mean the return OF
happiness to both. At night they crept
into outhouess or barns and on one
occasion they were obliged to remain
in the woods.
Finally the pair broke into a pump
house near the Dundalk station of the
Sparrows Point car line. Their pres
ence was noted by neighbors, who no.
titled the police. The young woman
was taken to the Canton station where
she was held pending the capture Of
her husband.
