Of-Vienna, Drayton and Unadilla is
Encou r aging to tho Projectors of
the Western and Gulf, and he Sue
cess of the Enterprise is Assured.
While citizens of Americusand Sum
ter are quite enthusiastic over the con
struction of the Western <fc Gulf Rail
way from this city to Hawkinsville
the people of Dooly county are, if
possible, more so, and stand ready and
willing to aid in the enterprise.
All they ask is an ''opportunity to
help build the line which means so
much for them, as for us.
Mr. Crawford Wheatley, one of the
incorporators of the company and who
is doing a vast deal in pushing the
construction of the road, returned yes
terday from a trip through Dooly.
Mr, Wheatley visited Unadilla,
Drayton and Vienna, and in each town
was given most cordial assurance of
the co-operation of citizens in building
the line, The wealthiest and most in
ti uential people there have heart and
soul in the enterprise.
Subscriptions of money and lands
for terminal facilities are freely offered
at whatever point the line travels after
crossing Flint river.
At \ ienna Mr. Wheatley was met by
the mayor of that flourishing town and
inlluential citizens, and was the -guest
of Hon. J. P. Heard while there. Vi
enna will stand pat on the W. &. G.
Engineer G. D. Allen has surveyed
one line from the river, via Drayton to
Vienna, and with his corps of ten men
is pushing on to Hawkinsville at the
rate of three or four miles a day. The
surveying force w*ill arrive there by
the last of the week.
Mr. Wheatley will go to Hawkins
ville a week hence to consult with
Engineer Allen, and also to confer
with citizens of that town and county
likewise interested in the building of
the railroad.
From Hawkinsville to Amereus —
across three rich counties —the people
are enthusiastic on the building of the
W. & G.
In fact, Mr. Wheatley says there is
no doubt whatever of the success of
the enterprise. Americus iand Sumter
county will respond liberally to the
call for subscriptions, as will the
counties of Dooly and Pulaski, all of
which will be so directly benefitted.
Until the survey is completed the
exact course of the line cannot be deter
mined, that is, whether it will go by
Unadilla or Vienna. Roth towns are
anxious for the road and, as stated,
offer'liberal assistance in the way of
cash subscriptions and land.
But the road will be built —completed
within a year, and Americus will feel
renewed inspiration from this much
needed enterprise.
LITTLE HELLOS HAVE A DINNER
Young Ladies at Central Are Thus

While others have been busy in pre
paration for the holiday festivities and
thinking only of those very near to
them, one big-hearted citizen did not
overlook the pleasure of that coterie of
willing and ever-faithful toilers —the
young ladies employed at the telephone
exchange. A day or two ago he had
prepared a superb possum dinner,
which was served at the exchange with
his compliments. It need not be stated
that the act was appreciated by the
young ladies —the kind thoughtfulness
prompting it as much as the feast itse f.

GOING TO DECIDE A
SITE FOR SCHOOL
Committee to Reconvene in
Americus.
COLLEGE SITE TO BE SETTLED
Executive Committee to Come in Few
Days to Determine Fully the Site of
the Third District College—New
Proposition Made on Sieg Lands
For the purpose of determining fully
the site of the Third district agricultural
college, to be located in Americus, the
executive committee will assemble here
again one day this week and examine
thoroughly the lands to be tendered as
the site of the proposed institution.
It is time the matter was settled, as
building operations will doubtless be
gin early in the new year.
The executive committee met here
for this purpose several days ago, and
after inspecting two sites tendered ad
journed without arriving at a conclu
sion. One of these sites is the Sieg
lands, out Lee street. Os the portion
tendered at the time, a considerable
part lay on the creek.
The committee did not think well of
the creek • lands, hence the delay in
arriving at a decision.
Since that time the owner of the
property, it is understood, has agreed
to offer a more desirable tract fronting
for half a mile, practically, on Lee
street road, or contiguous thereto. In
fact, the offer includes all lands front
ing the street except the Sieg residence
property.
This means that 300 acres high, dry
and available farming land can be had
of that property, with practically little
if any swamp or hammock land, Mr.
Sieg proposes to retain the creek land
of 75 or 100 acres ottered previously,
giving to the college the best part of
his farm.
As it is generally desired that the
college be located in the Southern
section of the city, the committee
may now find no difficulty in reach
ing a conclusion.
Teachers and Students Expected.
Paris, Dec. 2 .—The teachers and
students of the famous St. Sulphice
seminary here were expelled Thurs
day. Their superior, as a matter of
form, insisted that a pfiliceman lay
a hand on his shoulder as proof that
violence was used. Among the stu
dents were a number of British sub
jects and one American, who read
an energetic protest, claiming that
they were there under an agreement
with the French government, by
which, when the property of the old
Catholic college was endowed by the
Stuarts during the period of religious
intolerance in England, and it was
taken for a polytechnic institute, it
was formally understood that as a
compensation the government would
maintain 25 students sent from Eng
land to St. Sulphice.
Man Seriously Shot.
Tallapoosa, Ga., Dec. 2 ( . —The
little town of Budapest, about 6 miles
east of this city, was the scene of
a serious shooting affair at an early
hour Wednesday evening. A young
man named Murdock Newman, about
22 years of age, said to be drink
ing at the time, went to a restaurant
kept by a man named Woehl and
wife. He demanded something 'to eat
and after some parleying, it is claim
ed, began smashing up dishes, and as
Woehl states, displayed a revolver
which he (Woehl) seized and shot
him In the abdomen. It is said that
the victim of the affray was left ly
ing out on the ground for two hours.
He will probably die. The -wounded
man’s father was at one time marshal
of Tallapoosa.
