new LINE THROUGH WINCHESTER
ALMOST AN ASSURED FACT
Reports Are to The Effect That The Present Line viii be |e1acked
From Paris to Winchester

That Winchester will get the pro-
posed new line to be run to the coal
fields of Eastern Kentucky by the
L. & n Company is now almost an
assured fact. 1t is reported that the
North Middletown route, which was
recently surveyed, has been abandon
ed and that the present line from
Paris to Winchester will be double
tracked, thus giving to the J.. & y.
a double tracked line from Cincin-
natl through Paris to Winchester.
and the extension into the coal fields
will be made from Winchester in
stead Of Paris.
The Commercial Club has been
very active i'm efforts to secure this
line and deserves much credit, now
that the prospect for the success of
the enterprise are so bright. The new
road will be of untold worth to the
merchants of Winchester and all
citizens. 1t is said some important
changes will be made in the line from
Paris to Winchester for the purpose

Of improving the grade Of the road.
The new track will be built on the
right side of the present track from
Paris TO Bedford Station. AT that
point the road will diverge to the
right of the present track, passing
through the lands of DIR. Frank
Fithian, Joseph Clay and others, re-
turning to the old track at Escondi-
da. Near Austerlitz it again DIVORCES
from, the old line, through the prop
erty of Mrs. Robert c. Talbot and
others, returning to the old track AT
Renick Station, the greatest diver
gence from the present road bed be-
tween Austerlitz and Eenick being
about eight hundred feet. These
changes in the line a for the pur-
pose of cutting out some heavy
grades which materially hinder the
hauling of heavy freight -rains. Mr..

Wilson Victory Was
Celebrated by the
Travelling Men Here

One of the happiest events of Tues
day evening when it was known that
Governor Wilson and Thomas r. Mar
shall had swept the country in DEM
ocratic landslide, was the informal cele-
bration INDUCED in by half hundred
travelling men at the Piedmont hotel,
where they took possession of the new
cafe on the Peachtree street side and
had dinner in honor of the victory.
When the returns first began to come
in the visitors who reached here only
recently and lived too far away to pos
sibly go home and cast their ballot for
MIR. Wilson, went to the auditorium
armory and remained there until a
great Democratic victory was assured.
1t was not until President Taft had
conceded his defeat and the Bull Moose
leader had wired Governor Wilson his
organizations that the last of the
travellers left the armory jubilant over
the result Of the national election. They
in a body up Edgewood avenue
to Peachtree street and thence to the
Piedmont, where they made merry UNI
til late.
1t was a happy lot, this gathering
of visitors who had been denied their
privilege of casting a ballot for their
choice, and they made the best of a
signal victory when the fact became
manifestly apparent.
There were toasts and toasts for the
next president of the United States,
his running mate. their families and
the men composing the executive COM
mittee of the party and their efficient
corps of workers.

TAXI DRIVER HELD UP
AT POINT OF PISTOL

Five joy riders, who had evidently
been to the city to hear the election
returns, held up negro taxicab chaut-
feur Tuesday night near the railroad
crossing at Whitehall street, and at the
point OF a pistol compelled him to drive
them to Jonesboro, Ca, according to the
story told the police by Kenneth Bag
nall, an employe of the Atlant Baggage
and Cab company.
Bagnall was returning from a call in
the southern part of the city, when he
was halted about midnight by a well
dressed man. He, of course, stopped to
take on the passenger. Then two men
and two women. all well dressed, stepped
out from behind trees on the sidewalk,
and all got In, The man who took the
front seat pulled out gun, and pressing
1t against the negro's head. said: Now
---, drive till tell you to stop"
The negro was too scared to do any
thing else. The man would tell him
where to go. ad the negro did as he was
told, and after a wild ride he came to
a small town, and heard one of the party
say 1t was Jonesboro. The man on the
front seat made him stop, and they all
got out Then at tho point OF the pistol
the chauffeur was made to turn his car
around and told to beat IL. as he ex-
pressed 1t. To make the order more inn
pressive pistol was fired in the air The
negro drove to town, and his machine
was so badly used up from his expert
ence that his boss made case against
him, which was dismissed when Judge
Broyles heard the darky's story. The
sherin at Jonesboro is now looking for
the auto bandits.
