32 Miles Shorter To Atlanta From Waycross Sees Rail Plan
Promoters of a proposed Waycross to Vidalia railroad held a meeting in Waycross to discuss beginning operations, with plans to possibly start with a short line from Baxley to Waycross and seek bonds to complete construction. The venture aims to cut Waycross Atlanta distance by about 32 miles, with charter proceedings underway and several local interests named as promoters. A separate Newton county meeting urged cotton growers to uphold the Southern Cotton Association’s executive committee stance, citing a 50 percent average crop estimate as a conservative projection.

Georgia Farmers Invent Anti Collision Device for Rail Lines
Georgia farmer 4 B Goode of Conyers and associate T J Deal have invented an anti collision device for rail traffic. A small model will be shown in Atlanta with plans for larger demonstrations at the October state fair. The device uses lights along the track to indicate train positions, potentially automating signals between stations. Goode aims to exhibit and discuss the system with railroad officials and notes it could prevent head-on and rear-end wrecks. He also mentions a Georgia farmer involved in aerial navigation research, who plans to build a working model for the fair and hopes to meet Secretary Weldon.
