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.
