ALBANY, GA., SATURDAY AFTERNOON, MAY 26, 1906.
NUMBER 184.'
THE CENT!
ilflmiT EXTRA
IT
THAT PROPOSED NEW RAILROAD FROM AL
BANY TO THE GULF.
Special to The Herald.
Savannah, Ga., May 26.—The news
that the Central of Georgia railway is
to start on Monday to survey a line
for a new railroad extending from Al
bany, Ga., to Quincy, Fla., will attract
considerable attention among those
interested in railroad affairs in Geor
gia and Florida. It was at first re
ported that the Central intended to
build a line through Newton, Ala., and
thence to Quincy, hut the wrong New
ton was given the credit for getting
the new line, which is to pass through
Newton, Georgia, in Balter county.
Balnbridge will also be tapped by this
addition to the Central’s mileage.
The Central will probably be able
to build the line without any extra
financiering. The earnings of. the
system have been greater this year
than for any year since the reorganiza
tion, and some of the surplus will
probably go into this new line of
road. It will tap a very rich section in
which the lumber and naval stores in.
terests have never been fully devel
oped. The survey and the completion
of the road will be pushed to a rapid
completion.

If you do enjoy baseball, and' intend
to patronize the games for the rest of
the season, read and ponder.
The weather of the last few days
has hit the management of the Albany
baseball team hard—very hard. Dur
ing the week, three games on the local
grounds have gone by default on ac
count of rain. For each of these
games Manager Thomas had to pay
the visiting team $10 forfeit. In the
meantime his own expenses did not
at op. In fact, they increased, as he

brought an additional player from
Tennessee and two from Indiana. All
three of these will be in tho game this
afternoon, and their addition greatly
strengthens the team.
But they cost money.
And that is the point we are getting
at.
The team will be at home three days
next week — Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, playing Valdosta.
On these three days, let us make up
for those lost games; Let the fans of
Albany turn out en masse. Let them
fill, the bleachers and the grandstand
until no seats are left, and let the rest
stand around and look pleasant.
It costs money to run a ball team.
Albany has a blanch now that ought,
to win. If we encourage them, they
will win. The weak places have been
made strong, and the team is out for
scalps;
It’s up to the fans. ‘Will tljDy Jet it
be said that they failed to make good?
If you are a fan, this means you.
Remember — Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday.

TIE SUITE AND PEOPLE
SEEMS VERY NEAR IN RUSSIA — CONSTITU
TIONAL DEMOCRATS THROW DOWN THE
GAUNTLET TO THE GOVERNMENT.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.—Before the lower house of Parliament
and throngs of spectators, Premier Qoromykin today read the declaration
of the. Government’s policy. The statement waB listened to with breath
less interest. A wonderful scene followed when Roditcheff, leader of the
Constitutional Democrats, rejected the Government's reply. With burning
words he flung down the gauntlet of defiance to the Government, and
closed with a demand for the retirement of the bureaucratic cabinet and
the creation of a responsible ministry from the people’s chosen repre
sentatives.
Premier Goremykin’s speech was unexpectedly firm in tone, in reply
to the message of the lower house to the throne. It produced a vivid
Impression, and a conflict is considered inevitable. To the demands of
the lower house, the reply is almost a complete non possumus. It reiter
ates the statement that general amnesty is impossible, but promises re
leases as rapidly as possible of those arrested by administrative order.
The question of the abolition of the upper house was declared impos
sible, as that institution is covered by fundamental law and beyond the
competence of parliament.
Most important of all, the Premier declared that the basis for a
solution of the agrarian problem proposed by .the lower house was com
pletely impossible. There could be no forced ex-propriatlon of land. The
address promised, however, the dis-tribution of some of the state domain,
and outlined a broad program for popular education, revision of the tax
laws'and the institution of political liberty.
Revolutionary Agitation in the Provinces.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.—There is grave news from the prov
inces, where it is reported there is an alarming increase in revolutionary
agitation. Sanguinary conflicts continue to bq reported, and there are
strikes and agrarian disorders.

ATLANTA PREACRERS PLAYED BALE
CLUB OF “THE TEN” HAD A GREAT TIME ON
CAP JOYNER’S FARM.
Special to The Herald.
Atlanta, Ga., May 26.—Atlanta yes
terday learned of a remarkable game
of baseball which was played at the
farm of Fire Chief Joyner, near Mari
etta, in which a number of distin
guished divines took part and the gov
ernor of Georgia was the umpire.
Among the players were Rev. W. W.
Landrum, pastor of the FirBt Baptist
church; Rev. John E. White, pastor
of the Second Baptist church; Rev.
Junius Millard, pastor of the Ponee de
Leon Avenue BaptlBt church; Rev. J.
F. Purser, pastor of the West End
Baptist church; Rev. S. Y. Jameson,
secretary of the Georgia State Baptist
Mission Board; Rev. O. J. Copeland,
pastor of the Jackson Avenue Baptist
church; Associate Justice Beverly D.
Evans, of the Georgia Supreme Court;
Walter G. Cooper, secretary' of tho At
lanta Chamber of Commerce; F. J.
Paxon, of the Davlson-Paxon-Stokes
Company; “Tom” Stokes, one of the
partners; Chief Joyner, and several
other gentlemen.
Mr. Paxon Is a member of a little
club known as “The Ten." It is the
duty of the members to entertain the
club at certain periods, and thiB time
it fell to the lot of Mr. Paxon. So he
went to Chief'Joyner and asked for
the loan of the chief’s farm for a day.
“Sure,” said the chief. And the thing
was as good as done. So a barbecqe
was arranged, the gentlemen Invited to
take a trolley car for Marietta, and
the fun began at the time they arrived
at the farm. First, they started on
the feed. Then Mr. Faxon undertook
to read a learned paper on some sub
ject, which nobody remembers. Then
somebody yelled: “Out it out; let’s
piny baseball.’’ And thiat ended the
speaking. Nines were chosen, Govern
or Terrell was elected umpire, and the
game started. Trouble started when
Chief Joyner rapped out a hot one
which went under the fenoe. It had
been agreed that when a ball was
knocked over the fence the lucky man.
was entitled to two bases. The Joyner
crowd claimed that he was entitled
to a home run ‘ because It Is more
difficult to knock a ball under the
fence than over It.” The score was
21 to 20 in favor of Mr. Paxon’s team. /

IN EAST ALBANY.
A Bad Negro Skips, and It Is Hoped
That He Has Left for’Good.
Late last night Fred Davis and Jonas
Sanders, both colored, had an alter
cation over a pistol in Bast Albany,
just across the A. C. L. trestle, in
which Davis was severly cut and
bruised in the face.
Sunders had borrowed a revolver
from Davis, promising to return it in
0
a few days. Instead of returning it he
sold it, and when Davis asked him for
It und found out the true state of af
fairs, he salted for the money. San
ders refused to surrender it and com
menced cursing him, whereupon Davis
said he would get the aid of the police
in securing the money, and turned
away to go to his home.
Sanders now struck him in the face
with a rook and drew his knife. DaviB
defended himBelf as best he could, but
was unable to do much on account of
a crippled foot. His lusty cries for
help brought forth the neighbors, how
ever, and Sanders vanished in the
darkness. It is thought that he left
town on a passing freight train, as
nothing has been seen of him since.
As DaviB was not the aggressor In
the fight nothing wau done to him.
Sanders has been a had character in
East Albany and it Is hoped that, he
has left for good.
