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.

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 ple of Americas should come forward 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 marks. To attend the drills consumes 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.
