Depot Bill Before the House Vote on Union Depot Urged
The house is to vote today on a depot bill with a full discussion urged. The editorial stresses state interests, warns against filibuster, and argues a timely decision to protect Georgia’s leased railroad property and potential union depot. It cautions that delay could cede advantage to Atlanta and leave the state with a lesser, single-road asset.

Pension hopes fade as funds vanish at state capitol
At the capitol the last hope of a new class of widows to receive pensions this year and next fades as no funds remain in the treasury. A bill to allocate 362,500 for additional indigent veterans faces a stalled appropriation, while prior year grants totaled 690,000 with projected needs of 830,500. Pension payments are delayed until mid January, amid plans to mail blanks and begin payments after debt interest is settled. Judge A J Crovatt of Brunswick is touted as a likely next senator for Glynn county.
