WANTS EXTENSION
OF STATE ROAD
SOUTH GEORGIA MEMBERS OF
THE LEGISLATURE ARE DIS
CUSslNG THE MOVE,

The following from the esteemed
Waycross Journal will be of specia
interest in this city. There is a very
strong sentiment all over Georgia
fer the extension OF the state road
to the sea, giving the state the best
trunk line in the South. Brunswick
of course, is the logical port for the
terminus of the line and is keenly
alive to the situation.
While none of the members of the
ton have publicly stated what posi-
ton they will take this summer when
! the extension of the state road ques
ton is brought up it has become
known that a majority OF them are in
favor of the appointment of com
mission to carefully investigate the
feasibility of extending the state
DAD to the sea.
Senator-elect J. L. Sweat, of Way
cross. has always been strong ad-
vocate of the state road extension
and he is counted on pushing the
fight in favor of extending the state
read. The Ware Representatives are
beth known to favor the roads extern
sion and with them stand representa-
tives of almost all counties of this
part of the state.
Waycross has taken a great deal of
interest in the state road extension
discussion because people of this sec
ton hope to see the road brought this
way If the stSte ever decides to eX-
tend the Western and Atlantic from
Atlanta. 1t is believed locally that
the commissions investigation will
recommend an extension that will en-
able the state at some time if not
light away to extend the road to
Brunswick, thus giving the state a
trunk line from Chattanooga to the
sea.
Numerous county pledges have
been secured that will make the con-
3truction of the state road much cas-
Ter than under ordinary circumstan-
ces and when the issue is presented
South Georgia will be on hand to urge
he extension.

Watch out,
Beware Of the Ides of March, Thus
spoke Roman guy TO Cesar but
the warning was not needed by that
| immutable warrior Everybody
knows that Caesar got a stilletto
slipped between his ribs by the
henchmen Of the worthy Brutus on
the Ides, and this can be traced di-
rectly TO the fact that the man who
| inspired Gallia omnia est divisa-"
same being the worthy product of
The worthy Virgil, did not beware
Now, word to the wise is usually
sufficient, aud also a stitch in time
saves nine and maybe fun dozen,
picbably more. Well. here's tip.
This is Friday the thirteenth.
Since time immemorial Friday has
had the rputation Of being an ex-
| ccedingly unlncky day Lots OF PEG
pie won't start on a journey on Fri
day, and there are countless other
snperstitions connected with this day
Of days. But when Friday happens
TO come on the thirteenth Of II
month, great. grimy gobs of bad luck
hang from every tree Each tele-
phone pole, or any kind OF pole, for
that matter. has ill-luck hung all over

the ground right under your feet;
things have a habit of falling out of
high windows with the predestined
intent OF falling on your head where

for it's promiscous intentions of gal
lavating all over the table cloth, and
that clean one. too. All on account
Of the circumstances that bring Fri
day and the number thirteen together
on the calendar.
There's one safe way. however, to
avoid all the misforiunes that attend
those who fare forth on Friday the
thirteenth, which is said to be the
only sure way to avoid getting a leg,
an arm or neck broken or something
less dlscomforting but, in the least,
exceedingly inconvenient. That. they
say, is to keep the first and third fin
gers of your right hand securely
crossed the entire day, and to pick
up every pin you see lying round
loose.

FOOLISH JOKE BY
A. c. |. OFFICIALS
REPORTED THAT PAY TRAIN HAL
BEEN HELD UP BETWEEN
WAYcRosS AND BRUNSWICK

For few minutes yesterday after
noon the officials of the Atlantic
Coast Line in Savannah were badly
stirred up, all because the pay train
| bearing thousands of dollars had been
dynamited between Waycross and
Brunswick-or so they thought.
The pay train left Waycross for
Brunswick early in the afternoon and
shortly thereafter a local operator,
talking over the wire with Jackson
vile operator, said there was not
much doing excepting that the pay
train had just been blown up with
dynamite between Waycross and
! Brunswick. A Savannah operator was
IN the line at the time and when he
heard this he lost no time, it has de-
yeloped, in telling the news to the Sa-
vannah headquarters.
In less time than it takes to tell it..
Chief G. S. Godbold, of the special
agents, was being sought and calls
were out for number of detectives.
Wilmington offices heard of the re-
port and got busy on the telephone to
ind cut how badly hurt were those
on the train. Relatives of members
Of the train crew were soon inquir-
ing and for a while the wires were
hot with messages
1t is said that Jacksonville asked
he local yard office something about
the pay train and it so happened that
at the moment the pay rain was be-
ing brought back here for another en-
Bine, a cylinder having gone bad on
he one that started out with the
rain at first Hearing that the train
was being brought back, and stopping
fer no further news, the first report
gained considerable strength.
When it was found that the report
was nothing more than a joke the of
licials became angry and before the
day passed one operator was out of
OBJ. 1t is said that the report caused
great deal of amusement after the
first period of anxiety had passed,
out at the same time the officials
could not bring themselves to see the
point of a joke on such serious sub
iect. Waycross Journal.
