New Railroad for Atlanta Airline to Gulf Coast
Eufaula Alabama reports the Columbus Eufaula and Gulf railroad as a certainty with early completion planned. The line aims to connect Columbus to St Andrews Bay and Atlanta, offering a near airline route and a 35 foot harbor depth at St Andrews Bay. W A Hawkinson leads the project with New York bankers backing the funds and work slated to start within a month, projecting operation within a year. Local subscriptions and public support are strong as the line would bring Atlanta access and remove Eufaula from isolation from north Georgia.

Judge Emory Speer writes in reply to Representative Ray opposing a new southern Georgia district court at Valdosta. He notes counties from multiple divisions would shift, argues Macon is adequately served with three divisions and a fourth unnecessary, and cites nearby cities for potential court sites.
