ORINQ FOR AN EXTENSION
You have heard a great deal about tho advance ou Carpets in
consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told ;
but nay opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell you
Carpets AS LOW AS YOU EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell /or CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do on a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing’ my Carpets to everybody.

Of the Road to Savannah—r,elm It Will
stimulate Competition—Money Coaid be
Seised In Savannah to Extend the Road—
tel It be Done.
Tbe Sam railroad and the Savannah
and Western are at outa according to tbe
Savannah Morning News. In speaking
of the complications the News goes on
to say:
“ ‘Savannah ought to have tbe Savan
nah, Americus and Montgomery,' said a
well-known business man on the Bay.
‘Wo are practically at the mercy of one
corporation now and a new outlet is
j needed. I believe the money to bring
the Sam road in could be raised without
any troublo. The relations between tbe
Sam rood and tbe Louisville and Nash
ville are very close, and in buying inthr
Sam we might sccnre tbe Louisville and
Nashville. That Is just what Savannah
needs now and what we should all pull
for.’
“Assistant General Passenger Agent
Hardwick of the Central railroad said
last night that beginning next Sunday
the Central trains which have been run'
ning through between Savannah and
Americus will run to Lyons, the termi
nus of the Savannah and Western, and
passengers by this route to Americus
and points on the Sam will have to
change cars at Lyons,
“President Hawkins of the Sam did
not arrive in Savannah yesterday as ex
pected, but may arrive here to-day from
New York.”
The News Is authority for the Estate-
ment that it w«s the general opinion
among those who are In a position to
know that the breaking up of the freight
and passenger arrangement would injure
the Central far more than tho Sam road,
Savannah is very anxious to extend the
Sam within her borders, expressing tho
belief that It will prove a safety-valve
for her. In alluding to the variances
tbe News'eays:
“Tho trouble between the Sam rail
road and the Savannah & Western (con
trolled by the Central) was the theme of
discussion yesterday, and the general
opinion was that the breaking up of the
freight and passenger arrangement
would injure the Central more than it
would the Sam road. The latter It send
ing its freight by way of Helena and
Jestip over the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia and the Savannah, Florida
and Western railways.”
Th, Work of Man Is Wonderful.

the country. We have right here In this

ent meeting promises not only to be a
very large one, but one out of wbleh
much good will come. Besides many

tions, several correspondents from tbe

and value of tbe methods proposed by
these general associations. This Asso
ciation will continue through Sunday.

Bob Hunter Demit with.
The Early County News contains the
following:
“About two months ago, a big, burly,
brutal looking black nigger, calling him
self Bob Hunter, came to this place from
Amerious. He rolled cotton, cut wood
and did other work for some of tbe white
citizens, preached a little and grew un
popular with the blacks. Three weeks
ago he was taken from hie place of lodg
ing here in the corporation, by a mob at
night, carried out Id an old field, severe
ly beaten and ehot It waa feared for a
while that the negro waa killed, bat he
is not dead.”
Inquiry faila to spot this man Bob
Hunter as having lived in Americas, and
It looks as If our Blakely friend is trying
to saddle on thla community a desperado
who has never resided here.
