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. UE0RB1A NEWS. 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.” Henry S. Davis. Merrel Callaway. JNLEW FIRM!
