Atlnnta, Ga„ Jan. 30.
The Herald,
Albany, Ga.
Atlantic Coast Line promises Imme
diate relief on B. & W. schedule, us
ing as nearly as possible figures fur
nished by me. /
Management Southern Express Co.
promises Inauguration of service on

If the road will meet them half way.
Two superintendents to visit us next
week. JOHN A. BETJEMAN.
The foregoing telegram was re
ceived early tills afternoon, being In
reply to a request to Mr. Betjeman
that he keep The Herald advised of
whatever progress he might make In
his missionary work in Atlanta, Sa
vannah and other points In the Inter
est of the Albany Business League—
that Is, such Information as might
with propriety be given- out.
Mr. Betjeman left the <tfty last Wed
nesday morning for Savannah, going
there In the Interest of the Albany
Business League, of which he is sec
retary. From Savannah he went to
Atlanta. Something of the nature of
the work accomplished In the former
city was gathered from articles which
appeared In Sunday’s Savannah pa
pers, being reproduced In these col
umns yesterday.
Albanians could hardly receive
more pleasant news than Is contained
In the Information that the schedule
on the B. &. W. branch of the Atlantic
Coast -Line will he so changed as t<.
conform to the requirements of the
people of Alna-iy, Tltlpn ami inter
mediate paints.
That the Southern Express Com
pany has agreed to inaugurate an ex
press service on the Albany & North
ern Railway will be equally great
news for the people along that lino.
The Herald saw a representative of
the road tills afternoon and apprised
him of the nature of the news from
.Atlanta. The road's representative
stated that the 1 A. & N. was not only
willing, hut exceedingly anxious to
have an express service Inaugurated
between, Albany and Cordele. He
said:
“We have in the past taken up the
matter with the express company, but
were unable to Interest its officials.
There Is crying need of a service on
opr line, and we will be found ready
to do our full share toward furthering
the project.”
Exactly how far the Const Line of
ficials will go in the rearrangement of
the B. & W. schedule Is, of course, a
matter of conjecture, though the tele
gram of Secretary Betjeman is reas
surlng. It Is presumed that the "two
superintendents” to whom he-, refers
are officials of the Coast Line and of
the Southern Express Company.
That the Albany Business League
Is making progress is thus made man
ifest. Should these two projects be
cArrtdii'to successful issiife, two thl
will have been aecompllohed for which
repeated but unsuccessful efforts have
been made In the past.
All of which Is Immensely encour
aging to the business men of Albany,
practically all of whom have Identified
themselves with the league.

Daniel Files Personal An
swer in the Case and
Says Lane Has Sold His
Stock.
Atlanta, Jail. 30. — Charles Daniel,
general manager of the Atlanta News,
yesterday filed his personal answer to
the Injunction petition recently pre
sented to tho Superior Court by Edi
tor John Temple Graves. He sets
forth that, he borrowed tho money from
Samuel Spencer to buy 317 shares of
stock in the Nows corporation, getting
this stock just In the nick of time to
defeat Graves in Ills effort to oust
him. Tills stock, he snys, ts held In
the name of Mills B. Lane, of Savan
nah.
The Atlanta News Publishing Co.
also filed a bill In tho rnntter. This
paper was presented by Charles Dan
iel alone. Tho document sets forth
that tho president of the corporation
has resigned, tho vice-president has
'sold his stock, and only the secretary,
treasurer, business manager and man
aging editor are left — all of which
Daniel Is. The petition of the corpor
ation says the fight now on is a per
sonal matter between Graves and Dan
iel and the publishing company doeB
not want to be drawn Into It.,
In his answer Charles Daniel made
the rather startling statement that the
247 shares of stock bought by him
with money borrowed from Samuel
Spencer, and In the name of Mills B.
Lane, hold In trust by James W. Eng
lish, Jr., were sold. He declined to
make public the purchaser.
This move materially affeots the lttl-
atlqn, as Graves’ Injunction prevent
ed the snle by Danlol of any of the
pooled stock.
What Lane Says.
Savannah, Gn„ Jan. 30. — Mills B.
Lane was asked last night by a repre
sentative of tho Morning News about
the reported sale of tho stock he has
held In the Atlanta News Publishing
Co. Mr. Lane admitted that he hhd
been negotiating with some one for
the sale of tho stock, but that he had
not been udvlBbd that the deal had
been consummated. In view of this
fact, he said, ho did not care to glvb
the name of the purchaser, or prospec
tive purchaser, as tho case might be.
If tho offer of the stock had been ac
cepted he had not been so-informed.
