After all had eaten their 1111, the
brothers called on Superintendent
Marshall, of the S. A. M. Road, for
a speech. Mr. Marshall responded
in a common souse, straightfor
ward talk, which was highly appre
ciated by all present.
He was followed by Col. A. S.
Cutts in a neat and appropriate
speech.
Mr. G. B. Tarver was then called
upon, who gave a brief history of
the organization of the Brotherhood
and its objects. He also gave good
advice to tho new division, and in
structed them to live up to the re
quirements of tho order. He stated
that since the advent of the Broth
erhood tho engineers had been
materially benefited, as well as the
railroad companies. Engineers had
been elevated socially, morally,
mentally and physically. He asked
the wives of the fnembers of Mar
shall Division to lend a helping
hand and assist their husbands to
live up to the requirements of the
order, as It would redound to their
Rood and happiness. Mr. Tarver’s
speech was well received, and was
spoken of as one of the best ever
delivered on the subject.
Mr. Barnwell, of Savannah, fol
lowed in a few appropriate remarks
to the point and full of sound judg
ment, which showed that he bad
been a elose student and is well np
In his profession.
Mr. O. L. MoWaters was here In
troduced, wbo stated that as bis
friends, Messrs. Tarver and Barn
well, bad said it all, there wss
no thing lefti for him to say. Mr.
Me Water s is strictly business and a
thorough worker lu the brother
hood.
Col. W. A. Dodson being called,
arose and in a brief way highly
complimented the engineers for the
manner in which they always per
form their duties. He expressed
great satisfaction at having met
them on the occasion, and closed
with an appropriate and pretty
rhyme.
At the conclusion of the speeches
the brothers and their guests va
cated the dining hall.
From the dining hall they pro
ceeded to the Recorder building,
where refreshments were served by
the home brothers. From there
they took a streetcar ride, tendered
them by Mayor Felder. After sup
per a meeting of the Division was
called, at which a new member was
initiated and the following resolu
tions passed:
The undersigned members of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engl
neers, who came to Americus to or.
ganlze Division 449, Sunday, July
20th, having met with a cordial re.
ception from the citizens, us well as
from the resident members of the
order. Therefore be it resolved.
That we extend to all those who
were instrumental in making the
occasion so pleasant and agreeable
our heartfelt thanks.
Resolved further
That we especially extend our
sincere thanks to Hon. John B,
Felder, Mayor of the city; Superin
tendent Rees, of the electric car
line, and to Superintendent Mar
shall, of cite S. A. M. railway, for
courtesies extended.
O. L. McWaters, Dlv. 210.
G. B. Tarver, Dlv. 210.
J. H. Dougherty, Div. 210.
C. Barnwell, Dlv. 256.

T. F. Ledbetter, Dlv. 409.
W. Hill, Dlv. 409.
A. K. Hall, Dlv. 420. .
The organization of the divls.
ion of Lomotlve Engineers in
this city, is not for the purpose
of antagonizing the S. A. M. rail
way, as many suppose, as they have
received nothing but kind and uni
form courtesies from the road, their
salaries having been raised almost
to the standard price, which is more
than members of old roads are do.
lng, and no young ones. They en
tertain the highest regard for the
officials, and especially Superinten
dent Marshall, as they believe that
they are not only their employers,
but their friends ns well.
Wo soy without fear of contradic
tion that Marshall Division 449 will
never have it said that they have
been instrumental in bringing about
strife and discord between tho em
ployer and employe, but that they
will be an honor and protection to
both.
FROM WESTON.
Fine Crop Froepeote—Politics Warming
Up-Per«onal«, Etc. '
FROM PRESTON.
Good Business, Excellent Crops, Con
tented and Happy People.
Ppeston, July 18.—A long time
has elapsed since we. have had a
communication from Prestou, and
to let people in the outside world
know that we are still hero, I
thought it would be nothing amiss
for us to give the matter publicity
through your columns.
Preston is not doing much in the
way of a boom, hut our merchants
arc doing a splendid business. Our
farmers haye excellent crops of
both corn and oottoc, and if no dis
aster transpires we have neither
bread nor meat to buy for another
year.
Our community is exceedingly
healthy, and tako us altogether we
are a contented, happy people.
We have no candidates to be pull
ing us about and harrasslqgus with
their importunities. Of course wo
will have to get a Representative,
but I guess wo will have to adver
tise for one If wo get him. And as
it is Stewart county’s time for Sena
tor, we will let them seleel the can
didate. ■ They contend that It is our
time, and they expect some time
before long to hold a primary and
nominate our man for us, and, as
they have everything their own
way, I guess we will have to hands
off and submit. The almost unani
mous sentiment of this county is
that It is Stewart’s time, and we do
not want to take It from her; there
fore, we hope they will nominate a
good man from their oonnty and wo
will support him almost toaman.
Weston, July23.—The cold wave
Btruck us yesterday after a refresh

acceptable.
Crops were never better through
out the country than now. Corn is

Mr. J. W. Summerford still keeps

quito scrape he got into down .on

out of the swamp his buggy wheels
were bloody to the hubs, caused
from mashing mosquitoes.

Sclhey Co., July 17.—Thecltlzeus
of Schley county njet In mass meet
ing to-day, and after testing strenth
of candidates by acclamation, pro
ceeded to elect delegates by ballot.
Northen and all of thopresent State
house officers were endorsed, except

Complaint than any other.
Good rains have recently fallen
and crops are booming.
This is the season when the farm
er generally restB, goes fishing and
feels too lazy to pull fodder, but
now they talk politics, and this
new turn within itself is enough to
make things lively. Farmers are
better up on the issues of the day,
and in our opinion there will come
nearer every one voting at the com-
lng election than ever before,
gome seem alarmed at the atti
tudo(maybo it is the magnitude) of"
the working people, in becoming
interested in public affairs. But
they are only availing themselves
of a privilege that heretofore they
have neglected, and for this fact, if
no other, that they have made no
demands before, but have acceded
to every one or granted to others,
they now should not be abused and
treated with distrust, for no other
reason than that they are pursuing
a policy that in their opinion is to
their Interest. Let them talk poli
tics or go fishing as they like.
In our report of the Schley conn-
ty mass meeting we said that Hun-
nicutt’s name was put before the
convention. We learn since the
vote for commissioner was put
twice, and all three were put before
the convention on the first ballot.
We came In just as the second vote
by acclamation was being taken,
and only Nesbitt and Henderson
were voted upon, and as we know
some who favored the other candi
date, we mentioned the fact. The
question of reconsideration was tho
only point contested. But we be
lieve all are quiet on this question,
as it is evident the result would
have been the same under a differ
ent method.
In Introducing young Tison at
the Hopewell picnic we said, or in
tended to say, that he bad prepared
no speech for that occasion. We
learn that he had at some time in
the remote past mapped out a line
of thought for an address on a dif
ferent occasion that was never de
livered. Any way it was credita
ble. And as for our friend Ed Mo.,
every word of his address was
Impromptu. Ed. 1b one of
the most fluent, easy and
ready speakers of his age in
this part of tho Slate. Invite him
to deliver an address anywhere
and on any subject, and give him
24 hours to prepare and you will
be ashamed you evor entertained
tho idea of that little speech requir
ing preparation.
Wo learn the friends of Mr. T. H.
Wilkinson, secretary of the Coun
ty Alliance, are urging him, as the
seventh man, to enter the race for
Clerk of the Court—won’t things be
lively? .
Is Ellavillo on a boom? If ex
travagant prices for city lots and
real estate arc an Indication, she is.
There is money that is preferred to

that Is going to other places for no
other reason. True, the big hotel
has done much- to tnako property
more desirable, yet tills has been
done by the euterpriss of one man
and Is commendable for others to
do as much, by offering their Im
proved city property at reasonable
rates, and then the town must do
better.
A candidate for tho legislature,
clerk, or anything else? We hope
that will not have to refute these
allegations any more. Most em
phatically we want no office, nor is
there one that is to be offered that
wo, under any circumstances, could
accept. A teacher’s position, to
scribble for the local and
literary press the privilege to advo
cate any measure we believe to be
right without paying allegiance to
any individual or class is what we
want, and what we expect to have.
Men of business conceive their
places, then put tiiem lu operation.
This seems to be the kind of confi

We learn that a building and loan

Is bound to become acertainty. No
one need fear to put money In the
