Mrs. George E. Kicker met the
guests at the door and Mrs. ]. B.
Wall and Mrs. L. l.. Griner present
ed them to the hostess and honor
guest Mrs. Seanor, others in the re-
ception room were Mrs. S. w. Bah
bett, Mrs. R. A. Majors, Mrs C. E
Crawford and Mrs. Sarah F. Stewart
The old fashioned idea was delight
FULLY carried out in the profusion OF
old fashioned flowers of zenias, ph1oX
and petunias that were gracefully ar
ranged throughout the rooms.
The most interesting feature of the
afternoon was the minuet as danced
couple of times during the after
noon by Mrs. S. w. Babbett, Mrs.
R. A. Majors, Mrs. Caroline Craw-
ford and Mrs. Sarah F. Stewart
These ladies were beautifully gowned

WILL SEEK TO BUY
A., B. & A. RAILWAY
CONTINUED from First Page)

With the Western and Atlantic
Extending from Chattanooga to the
sea and having branch lines to Bir-
mingham, Townsville and Wav-
cross, the property in time would be
worth $50,000,000 or more, and if
the A, B. & A. can be bought at
this time IF the present value of
Its stock and bonds, it would not
bring over twelve or fourteen mil
lions, making the whole system, in
GLIDING the original cost of the w.
and A., total the State in the neigh
borhood of $20,000,000, and l am
told that the A., B. & A. cost about
$40,0O0,000 to build it.
If the State can make this deal, |
look upon it as piece of good bust
ness. The opportunity will never
come again. There will never be
another line built from Atlanta to
the Georgia coast and if this splendid
dream is ever to come true, now is
the time.
l am not in favor of putting off a
good thing. If the A., B. & A. is not
junked within the next two wears,
and the State could not permit such
calamity to happen, with the re-
turn of better conditions, the road
will either get on its own feet or
some big system will take it over
and the opportunity for the State to
own it will be gone.
Therefore, I am going to offer Z
resolution in the present House ask
ing that a committee be appointed
to look into the matter of purchasing
the road. If it be found feasible, +;
way can be found to handle the mat
ter until the next session or until tn
governor can call an extra session O
the Legislature to consider the facts
and if desirable, pass constitutional
amendment and let the people vot,
or Il.
believe it is too important mat
ter to let go by default. The tim,
to act on any matter is when it i.
ripe for action. Certainly there will
never come another such time or op.
portunity as this to consider the pre-.
servation of the States most valuable
asset
If we do not extend it to the sea
| am apprehensive that the State
may have to sell it some day at &
greatly reduced price.
