| You have all the forage on the lines of
Central {(of Georgia)} Rail Road and
Branches, the {Savannah, Albany &} Gulf
Road, and Savannah River. This certainly should be sufficient. The
South Western Road should transport the tithe of fodder as fast
as delivered. But not one pound should be purchased there at present. |
