Committee Named At a meeting of the Franklin Rotary club Wednesday, J. S. Con ley, president of the club, appoint ed a committee to cooperate with other business men of the county in seeing what action, if any, should be taken to prevent dis continuance of the railroad. D. D. Rice, mica manufacturer, was named chairman of the committee. Other members, of the group are R. S. Jones, J. E. Lancaster, bam L. Franks and B. W. Johnson. Closing down jpf the "T. F.," it is agreed by local business men, would have a disastrous effect, on Macon county, as this county is dependent to a very large extent on exports of telephone poles, cross ties, pulp and acid wood, lumber and mica. Without railroad facil ities it would be difficult for tim ber and mineral shippers to com pete with other sections. During the past six months, it is understood, the "T. F," railway has bought approximately $5,000 ."Did you hear the news?

A number of families liv ing in the county earn their liveli hood directly from the railroad. Discontinuance of the line also would mean a loss to the county in taxes. Examination of the tax! books showed that the ' company's properties in Franklin -township are valued at $17,487 and in Smith's Bridge lownship, $17,488, making a total for the county of $34,975. Total taxes due for 1931 by the railroad amount to 534. Long in Receivership The Tallulah Falls railway was extended to Franklin from Tal lulah Falls, Ga in 1907. A short time later the line was thrown in to receivership and since then it has been indirectly controlled by the Southern railway. -The line Has been operating at a loss for several years and funds with which to meet the deficit have been ad vanced by the Southern. , It is un derstood that Mr. Gray has had considerable difficulty this year in obtaining money for current opera tion expenses. It is known that he hoped to get a loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corpora tion recently created by congress, but evidently he was unsuccessful. One of the outstanding difficulties in operation of the "T. F." is the heavy expense necessitated by a large number of wooden trestles. Replacement of timber on these bridges is said to cost even more than the replacement of cross ties The railroad did very well, even though in receivership, until the decline of passenger traffic with the development of good roads and motor transportation. Then, with a heavy drop in timber shipments due to depressed conditions in business the country oyer, the rail way's revenue declined to such a point that it was no longer able to continue . operation! without outside financial assistance A week's study, course will be started in the Baptist churches of the county next Monday under the auspices of the Macon County Bap tist Young People's Union associa tion.
