Candler speaks on railroad extension to seacoast and state bonds
Governor Candler recalls 1876 efforts to connect Macon and Atlanta with a seacoast link via the Macon and Brunswick line.

He also recalls Talmage as a prominent postwar preacher and notes New York Democrats’ views on ex-Senator Hill’s gubernatorial prospects for 1904.
