y ■ After twenty-five years Spent in the
service of the Western Union.Tele,
graph Company, Mr. Y. C. Rust has
resigned the position of manager a!
the Albany office.
The change has already become ef
fective, Mr. Rust having bfeen suc
ceeded by Mr. J. A. Wesson, recently
of Americus. Mr. Wessoh has
Burned charge of the office, and has
already made the acquaintance of ,a
number of Albany business men. As
sistant District Superintendent Pee
ples has been in the office today, as
sisting the new manager to familiar
ize himself with his duties.
Many Albanians who have been resi
dents of the city ('or-more than twenty
years can not look back to the time
when Mr. Y. C. Rust was not in charge
of the local office of the Western
i Union.' He was operator in the days
when the office was a small one,-and
has remained jn control as increasing
business has necessitated the enlarge
ment of the establishment. His per
sonal popularity has always brought
custom to the Western Union’s tables,
Mr. Rust stated this morning to a
Herald man that he had resigned be
cause of the request of the company
that he give up all other Interests that
claimed Bis time and attention, so as
to be able to devote himself exeulslve-
ly to the business of the telegraph
company. Mr. RusB Is city clerk, haw
jng .Jfelfl.-that -position for a longer
time than he has been connected wltH
tKe Western Union. He declined to
resign this position, and to give up
other interests. Hence his resigna
tion.
Mr. Rust has not yet decided what
husinessr in addition to his duties as
city clerk, will claim his attention.

plying down the Flint on hunting and
pleasure expeditions rather regularly.

a chain and a rope that had been ent
in twain. The sad news reached the
ears of the yachtsmen, and they be
gan a search, but all In vain. They
telegraphed Balnbridge, Tampa, Jack
sonville, and are now thinking of ca
bling to Cuba. ' It Is thought the
launch has been stolen.

8tillmore Air Line and Collins and
ReldVille Must Build Depot at Col
lins. >
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 13.—While In ses
sion yesterday, the state railroad
commission replied to Judge W. F.
five,- of Augusta,’ in' regard tO'hls-re-
quest for a special rate on material
used in the betterment of highways
to the effeot that it could not lay
down a general rule, but If special
shipments were contemplated, It
could probably arrange with the rail
roads to take them at reduced rates.
The reason given was that a rate ap
plying to road materials would also
have to be applied, if it became gen
eral, to the same materials used in
other lines of work.
The commission also decided that
the Stillmore Air Line and the Col
lins & ReidsvillB railroad could not
use with the Seaboard Air Line the
depotrbuilt by. the latter system at
Collins. According to the commis
sion, the former roads had agreed to
pay part of the expense of the depot,
but had failed to dt> so. They are
now requested to build their own de
pot at Collins.
