Rail line drive to unite Dooly Wilcox and Sumter counties
A 1886 plea urges communities in Dooly Wilcox and surrounding counties to build a homegrown railroad along the A P & L route to the Ocmulgee river. Proponents argue it will open markets, raise land values, and allow higher farm prices while keeping freight rates in local hands. Residents are asked to raise about 2000 dollars per mile and donate right of way to advance construction.
