A P. O. Delay.
Our subscribers, at Preston, Lamp-
kin and all points west of Americas
missed the Weekly Republican of
June 2Gth. The delay was not caused
in this office. The paper was put to
press at an earlier hour than at any
time for a month past and conse
quently the raail clerk had his work
ready earlier. The paper was put in
the post-office and the pottage paid in
ample time for it to have reached its
distlnation according to schedule.
The only reason given us by those,
who should be responsible, was they
forgot it. So did Sal!
For practice was played on Monday
afternoon, between the Commercials
and Independents. Seven innings
wore played and the score stood,
Commercials, 27; Independents 20.
The Singing.
A large congregation was present
at the singing last Sunday afternoon,
in East Americas. As usual, the ex
ercises were of deep interest, and ev
erybody went away well pleased and
satisfied that they had spent a profit
able hour.
Rowland Hill’s
•‘Drama of the Judgment,” will be
found on the first page. It is a mas
terpiece of English composition and,
in some respects, one of the most re
markable productions in the Ian-
gnage. Read it; It Is well worthy
the time given to Its perusal.
Th* Now Rector
Of Calvary Episcopal church is ex
pected to arrive next week. In an
ticipation of his coming, the ladies
of the parish have prepared the
tory for the reception of himself and
family. Everything has been swept
and dusted with scrupulous care

The Sunday School Committees of

haul of 150 miles, $185,; on theseo-
ond of 689 miles, from Cincinnati to
Macon, over the L. & N., W.&A* &
C. R. R., $957.10; on the third, from
Macon to Americas, a distance of 71
miles, $26. per carload or $468. on 18
carloads, the supposed number re
quired.
From the above it will be seen that
Americas will really have another
railroad in the near future, and while
It is not a competing line it will bring
its freight here, and every dollar’s
worth of it will be added to the
trade of the city. With the A. P. &
L. as a nucleus, there is no telling
the possibilities of a through com
peting line from Savannah on the
east to Montgomery or some other
point on the west.
Th* Artesian Well.
A depth of nine hundred and slxty-
seven feet has been reached. Mr .Sloan
is now waiting for some implements
with which the work can greatly be fa
cilitated. The geological formations
which have been gone through, al
ready indicate that watea may bo
found at almost any time now.
Preaching Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Cooper, of Cuthbcrt, de
livered discourses, according to ap
pointment, at Watts’ Sunday fore
noon and night. Good congregations
greeted him and seemed well pleased
with hL*» sermons. Rev. J. W. Jor
dan preached at the Methodist church
at eleven o’clock, to a good congre
gation. Dr. Mann was absent at.
tending tho district conference at
Cuthbert.
Our Baby Railroad.
A baby no more, but an enterprise
that has grown from a small begin
ning into huge proportions, Tuesday
morning a reporter of the Republi
can called on Ool. S. H. Hawkins,
the genial President of the A. P.4L,
railroad who kindly furnished the
following Information which is of in
terest to every well wisher or the
Commercial City.
"The equipment of the A. P. A. L.
railroad, consisting of 2 locomotives,
2 passenger coaches, elegantly finish
ed, 10 box and 6 flat cars are en route
to Americas and will begin to arrive
about the middle or last part of next
week; after which, the work of track
laying will be pushed with all possi
ble speed to completion. Nothing
Intervening to prevent, the directors
may wish to offer to the people of
Americas, a few excursion trips, out
six to twelve miles In thepext thirty
days.”
Col. Hawkins’trip to Ohio was for
the purpose of securing as dose freight
rates in the rolling stock as could be
had, and in this he was as successful
could have been expected under
the circumstances. The entire roll
ing stock’ weighing from 300,000 to
340,000 pounds, costing on the first justly proud. Those who
A Word to th* P*ople.
For thirty-one years or m
Sumter Republican has floated its
banners to the breezes of Southwest
Georgia. During that time it has
er upheld what it believed lobe tight
and as vigorously condemned the
wrong. For all these years it has
been under the censorship of Its pres
ent venerable editor, whose reputa
tion is tana puer tans reproche. On
the first of September, it will issue
Daily evening edition, and will give
all the latest news, national, state
and local, and no pains or labor will
be spared to make it one of the best
dailies in the State of Georgia. It
will aim at the very start to make
itself a necessity in every household
in the city of Americas and as to that
matter, throughout Southwest Geor
gia, and as it grows older, will make
every addition needed by and com
mensurate with tho growth of the
city and section. If the people,with
whom the paper has been identified
for more than a quarter of a century
and at whose hands it has always re
liberal a support, will con
tinue but half so well as they have
done in the past, we will surely give
dally of which they will feel
40,000 Bal*s.
From all we can learn, Americas
business men confidentially expect
that forty thousand bales of cotton
will be handled In this city daring
the coming season. Averaging it at
five hundred pounds per bale, it will
make a grand total of twenty million
pounds of the fleecy staple, which at
the low price of eight cents per pound
will make the princely sum of $1,600,-
000, to be paid out and placed in cir
culation here. What a range of pos
sibilities within the charmed circle of
gold represented by those figures. To
those interested, we will leave the
(^peculations incident thereto, and
deal in facts. For one million dol-
, a sum leas by nearly half than
season’s trade of the city,a cotton
mill could be built that would con
a fourth ef the cotton brought
here, besides numerous industries
that would add to the city’s popula
tion hundreds of sonls and the sum
total of her trade another million an
nually. Five hundred thousand dol
lars, less than a third of one year’
trade would build a merchant mill
that would grind into flour,the wheat
product of five or sir counties aroond;
a bucket, barrel or tub factory, to
utilize the cypress of the swamps; an
iron foundry and machine shop;
handle, hub and spoke factory and
various other omall industries that
would give Americas more impetus
than two or three railroads. Bnt the
railroads are not to be ignored, for if
the city should within the next five
yean, invest bat the sum total of one
year’s trade, which would be twenty
per cent for each year, the railroads
would seek her instead of her seek
ing the railroads. These are only a
few of the facts, and we merely give
them that those interested will think
of them. The possibilities are great;
it only remains to be seen whether
those who are the deepest will take
advantage of the opportunities which
theirs.
netted with the paper are men of ex
perience in the newspaper business
and pledge their best efforts to make
the Daily and Weekly Republican
eagerly sought for in tho highways
and byways of town and country.
Everything that can bo done in the
way of the building up of the material
interests and resources of Americas
and its contiguous territory, and to
the holding up of that which will add
to the already high moral tone and
Christian culture, which is one of the
marked individualities of our people,
will be done. With these assurances
we shall launch our Daily upon the
sea of public faor and steer straight
ahead for the goal of success ‘‘with
good will for all and malice toward
ne.”
To Th* Citizens of Americas.
[ am often asked why I was dopos-
as Chairman of tho Board of
Health. To satisfy those who are ig-
lorant of the reason, I merely state
without going Into details, that last
Spring owing to the great amount of
work to be performed and tho un
pleasant responsibility on that offi
cer, I could not serve without com
pensation, other physicians in the
city were In like manner approached
and refused.
Whereupon, the city passed a law-
authorizing the payment of one hun
dred dollars and tendered the place
to me, which I reluctantly accepted,
as the amount was very much too lit
tle for the service. I served them
during the year, and last April when
another Board should have been se
lected, for some cause was neglected.
~ asked the Mayor what about It. He
says, “Go on and do the work, the
place of Mr. Roney will have to he
filled.” I did so, and know nothing
of the change, until I saw it in the
published proceedings of Council a
few days ago, appointing Dr. J. B.
Hinkle, who, I am informed by mem
bers of Council,agreed to do the duties
without fee or reward. The Council
making the change entirely a matter
of dollars and cents.

The senior is under obligations to
MgJ. J. H. Black, for a sack of supe
rior floor, ground from this year’s
wheat, at his mill near Magnolia
Springs. We have tried the bread
made from this floor, and can truly
say that it is equal to any we have
ever had on out table. There is bo
better flour ground than that at
Major Black’s mill. Take your wheat
there If yon want nice flour.
Largo Oabbags.
Mr. J. J. Nicholson, one of the
best fhrmen in this section of the
country, placed upon the Editor’s ta
ble, a few days ago, a hard-head cab
bage, which, in point of size and fla
vor, we have never., seen equalled.
The cabbage weighed ten and a half
pounds, solid. He has raised a large
quantity of them, and this one was
taken from a wagon load he had sent
to the store of Joiner A Nicholson for
i, all of which were disposed of at
fair prices in a short while.

That Contest Again.
Mr. J. W. Mize claims that we did
him injustice in onr remarks about
his contest. We plainly stated, in
substance, that wo had bo inten
tion of such a thing. We also stated
that we did not know what were the
grounds on which the contest war
commenced. We are now able to
state, upon the authority of Mr. Mize
himself, that his contest is based up-
the theft of the ballots from the
box In this (America) precinct,
which he claims was done. This of
coarse, if proven, will go for toward
invalidating the election, bnt the
charge is an exceedingly grave and
serious one against a board of man
agers, whose reputations for honesty,
probity and uprightness have always
been of the best. It Is a charge that
will, if substantiated, subject these
gentlemen to Indictment by the
grand jury of the comity, either for
a gross and flagrant neglect of a plain
and well defined duty, or for the (tun-
mission of the crime themselves, and
one that win be exceedingly hard to
prove. We are of those that believe
that all should have exact justice,
and If Mr. Mize has been wronged
the wrong should be righted,bnt with
the lights before ns we cannot see
the wrong. As we have already said,
we believe Mr. Mize to be actuated
by good and honest motives, bnt we
■till think he is upon a cold trail and
that farther persistence can bat
donnd more to his own than anyone

Webster Warbling3.
Mr. G. C. Fudge, of Preston, was
in Americas Wednesday. From him
we learn that crops in Webster »
ty were never better at this time of
year. The corn Is as good as the land
will make and cotton is in excellent
condition. The rains up to now have
fallen about once a week on an
age. The formers have had a heavy
battle with the grass, but have,

we have cheerfully heralded, doing
what lay in onr power to make them
a success. There is no doubt but that
tho growth and prosperity of any
place, bo it largo or small, depends
not a little on tho encouragement
given its newspapers; for this is the
medium through which an opinion is
formed by outsiders, of either the
progressive or non-progress spirit of
the citizens of any city or town.—
Our merchants can offer inducements
to the trade from nil surrounding
counties, and just in proportion
their goods aro advertised will be their

From farmers and others with
whom we have conversed we gain
the information that the crops, gen
erally, are In excellent condition.
The rains thus far have fallen just
right for the corn, which gives prom
ise of a yield fully up to the capacity
of the land, and two or three more
seasons at the right time are all that
are needed to bring about that result.
It is rather early to predict with cer
tainty in regard to cotton. The plant
however, is in a thrifty growing con
dition, arid is as for advanced as coaid
be expected alter the late spring.
Taking all things into consideration,
the prospect for a good crop is
bright as it has been at this time of
year for several seasons past. With
disaster a good yield of both
and cotton will be harvested, and
plenty and happiness reign supreme.

Ward’s Station.
A -Ml to the Rood people of
Ward's station has its pleasures st
any season; but at commencement
time visitors can enjoy themselves to
the folleat extent of the word. Then
©very ono seems to be in tho best of
humor,and all vie with each other in
making the stranger “within their
ptes” feel fully at home. Hospital
ity is the watchword, and well the
people of Ward’s know how to dis
pense it royally. Being there at com
mencement time, tho writer had the
pleasure of attending the closing ex
ercises of Prof. A. S. Harris’ school.
Tho examination and exhibition
came off on Friday, June 19tb, and
could not be excelled by any high
school in the State. Prof. Harris and
his assistant, Miss Sallie Tommey,
are deeply Imbued with a desire to
excel in the performance of the high
and responsible duties of their noble
profession, and their success was ex
emplified in the excellent manner in
which their pupils acquitted thorn-
selves, not only in the thorough ex
aminations uponthesubjectmatterof
theirstudles,but also the difficult parts
assigned them in tho exhibition. Mr.
Harris and Miss Sallie Tommey have
surely made a success of tho school and
we wish them the same In the future.
The salient features of the exhibition
will bo found in the appended pro
gramme:

For several years he has been In

succeeded in winning the esteem of
his numerous patrons. He is a good
citizen and a valuable acquisition to
any community. Mr. Charlie Bar-
