RAILROAD FROM AMERICAS TO
Isabella.
According to tbe Americus Re-
cobdee there is some talk among the
people of Americus of trying to se
cure another railroad, in order that
Americus may become a compet
ing point in freight rates. It is
proposed to build a line from
Americus to Isabella to connect
with tbe Brunswick Road Hawk-
insvilie Dispatch.
Such a road would no doubt be a
paying one, both as regards freight
and passenger travel. It would
g reatly lessen the distance to the
tate Capital from all places east
of us, and, besides, would draw an
immense trade to Americus which
now goes elsewhere. We think the
scheme one worthy of earnest con
sidcration, and hope to hear our
Americus contemporaries discuss
tbo subject at length.
In our opinion the above road
will never be built except on paper.
[ Worth Star.
Well, did you ever know a road
that wasn’t built on paper?—con
struction bond paper, for instance.
We believe the road can be and
will be built, and that its construe
tion is only a tiuestion of time
When the business men of Ameri
cits once get waked up to the ne
ccssity of having such a road, they
will build it. It is probable that
it will not be built this year, for
wo have a few enterprises on hand
that will keep us busy—we have a
cotton seed oil mill and cotton fac
tory to ercot, an artesian well to
sink and several other little matters
to attend to, while our neighbor
the Republican has a hotel to build,
so we can’t turn the road over to
him. But it you will have a little
patience and give us a little time,
we will build the railroad, and
don’t yon forgot to remember it.
Seriously, though, this is a mat
ter which should engage the atten
tion of our business men. There
is no doubt blit that a railroad
from Americus to Isabella would
be of great benefit to our city, if
built bo as to give competition in
freights. Already a largo cotton
trade has been cut ofT from us by
Columbus, which can pay higher
prices because of its getting better
freight rates, and year by year we
are liable to lose more and more
trade unless something is done by
which our cotton.buyers can pay
asjkigh pHccs as those of our neigh
boring cities. A road from Amcr-
icus to Isabella would tap a com
peting line of road to the seaboard,
and it is in this direction that our
cotton must be shipped. It would
oiler a shorter line and lower rates,
and this is what wo most need.
It would also open up a new coun
try, the trade ol which would nat
urally come to Americus. It is
something worth thinking over.
SOT AN INDEPENDENT.
The Atlanta Constitution having
published an item to the etrect that
Hon. B. B. Hinton, of this city,
was an independant candidate for
Governor, the Col. writes a very
forcible letter to the Constitution
denying the soft impeachment, in
which he says: “I am now and
have ever been in perfect accord
with the Democratic party, and
know of no reason why I should
not continue to act with it.
the ranks of the democracy I find
the wealth and intelligence
Georgia citizenship men whose
patriotism has never been question
cd, whose statesmanship is
knowledgcd, whose character,
whether in or out of ofiice, without
spot or blemish—with such an array
of virture and intelligence I am
willing to be found oo-operating.
These sentiments do bouor to the
Col’s bead and heart, and in pro
mulgating them he represents the
people of his section.

WUEN GREEK MEETS UREEK
Advices lrom Washington say
that the McKinley tariff bill—in
creasing the protective duties on
iron ties, hoop iron and some other
-forms of iron and steel—has re
ceived a back-set which will at
least dolay action on it. It seems
that the manufactures of steel wire
for fenctng have discovered that
it would interfere with their busi-
iness, os it increases the tariff on
iron which they import, and so
they have locked horns with the
hoop iron manufacturers. It may
be that through this war of the
roses the agriculturists may secure
some reduction of duties, if the
two do not pool their issues and
combine in getting up some schome
or robbery, by which tbo plant
ers of the South will be ground be
tween two stones.
Master Silas Page, of Lee cotin
ty, shot and killed an eagle a few
days ago, that measured seven feet
from tip to tip.
Jerry Lloyd rode one mile in two
minutes for a wager of five d dlars,
and the Mayor of Macon fin ml him
$2.50 for fast riding.
Mr. M. A. Cooley, who lives not
far from Rome, accidentally shot
himself through the thigh, inflict
ing a serious wound.
A colored woman in Marion
county fell into a well sixty feet
deep. On the way she turned a
symcrsault and fell on her head.
She was unhurt, but naturally
terribly scared.
A poor deserted woman was
found wandering In the woods near
Albany. She says her husband de
serted her, and that he is in Eu-
faula. She was put in the alms
house where she will be taken
care of.
A Montezuma special to tho
Constitution soys: “Quite a stir
among our citizens was manifest
on Monday last, when Mr. Rape,
the shcrifl of Dooly county, rode
into town with ‘Old Joe Harvey,’
colored, who has for two years suc
cessfully eluded the officers of this
county and escaped arrest. Jo
seph was wanted for the killing of
Hamp Uaugaboos, which'occured
two years ago near Montezuma.
Haugaboos was an ex-convict,
and had but recently served out
his term on the Houston chain-
gang. Ho had bcca sent from this
county for shooting another negro.
Haugaboos and Harvey both
loved whiskey; and on the day of
the killing were ‘full,’ Haugaboos
rode on Harvey’s wagon. A few
miles from town, alter a wordy al
tercation, Harvey drew his pistol
and shot Haugaboos after knock
ing him out of the wagon. Hauga-
boos died anti Harvey ran nway.
The prisoner is ably defended by-
Messrs. Toole & Busbee, attorneys
of Vienna, and Colonel James M.
DuPree, attorney-, of Montezuma.
The State's interest is in the hands
of Colouel John W. Hay-good, who
will make it hot for Joe. The pre
liminary trial will be had before
Hon. A. II. Grew, J. P., Ogle
thorpe, Ga., and if the witnesses to
the killing can be had, it is thought
that Joe will stretch hemp.”
