Albany Determined That the Central Hall
road Shall Kecoipilze Her RlghU-Her
Kxainple Might Well be Followed by
Americus.
Tlie following from the Albany New*
and Advertiser will show that tho poo
pie of that progressive little city have
determined that her importance as j
railroad station shall be recognized,
Tho Interview published Is with a prom*
Inent member of the Albany city coun
cil:
“I am very much surprised at the way
the railroads have acted in this matter.
We sent a delegation to Atlanta to ap
pear before tho railroad commission on
this subject. Ur. G'alhoun, an officer of
the Terminal Company, begged this del
egation not to go before the commission,
promising them that the matter would
be taken under consideration at once,
and furthermore assuring them that in
side of ten days the matter would be
acted upon, of which action they would
be notified.
"That ten days in which the matter
was to be settled expired, and, nothing
having been done, $(r. Calhoun wrote
that on account of the strike in Savan
nah it bad been interfered with. lie
then asked to be given until the latter
part of this week, at which timo he
would give a final answer. Having
failed in this I see no course to be pur
sued by the council but to ask the rail
road commission to give the matter a
hearing at once, and dispose of It finally.
“I do not think that tho city council
is inclined to be hard on the roads in
this matter, but the people have become
aroused on this subjoct. They are tired
of seeing a depot built of promises and
delays, and they now seem determined
to make one final effort in the matter,
and as strong an effort as they can."
From the above it will be seen that
Albany proposes to have the matter set
tled soon and settled definitely.
The railroad authorities last year went
so far bb to survey and stake off tho lot
for a now passenger depot for Americus,
had the plans and specifications mado,
and, it is said, awarded tho contract for
a building to be commenced by the first
of August at latest. It is now the mid
dle of October, and as yet there seems
not the slightest disposition on the part
of the Central authorities to fulfill their
promise.
In asking and expecting this improve
ment Americus is demanding only her
rights, and they should be recognized
without compelling our community to
resort to the methods which Albany
seems about to adopt—an appeal to the
railroad commission.

Interesting Italic*.
Mr. J. J. Brown of Sohley county has
in his possession a coin Interesting to
antiquarians by reason of Its groat age.
It Is • Spanish dollar and bears upon Its
fsce tbe date 177:1, and the bust of
Charles III. The piece of money was
coined about the period of Spain’s com
mencement of decline from her high
and powerful position among tbe nations
of the world, and even then, while not
In the zenith of her strength, as in tbe
dqrs of Columbus aud Hernando Cortez,
she wielded s vast Influence throughout
civilization and governed an immense
territory. Slow snd gradual, but none
tbe less sure, has been the decline of
the once proud snd arrogant Castilian
kingdom, until to-day, through internal
strife and a series of bad monarchs, It
has fallen to an insignificant place
smong the world’s great nations.
Mr. Brown has also another relic of
even more absorbing interest to the
American patriot, an old rifle that was
carried by his grandfather, Mr. Tlios.
Parker, during tne war of 1812, and
used by him at tbe celebrated battle of
New Orleans In January, 1815.
The Americus Light Infantry next
mouth hold a military fair, and the peo

and give to this enterprise such substan
tial help and encouragement as will in
augurnte and cuntiuno an upward move
ment in the affairs of the company,
Tho importance of tills organization is
not fully realized by thn community, nor
do the young men outside of its mem
bership display in it the interest which
they should. To the management all
praise should be given, and especially
to the commanding officer of the corps,
aa there is seldom seen a finer drilled or
better disciplined body of soldiery.
Still there aro scores of young men in
the city who should join, and by whose
aid the Americus Light Infantry could
be made to rank In point of numbers
second to none in the state, and to these
Tub Tiuks-Rrcohiikii directs these re

very little timo and ihe expense of mem
borship being almost nominal is over
balanced through resulting privileges
There Is no objectional personal elemont
with which to clash and enlistment in
this organization for the protection of
of our commonwealth, homes and fire
sides is a lasting honor to the recruit.
