Is Not Against Amerious, But theS A M. B. B. Co. Mr. Cecil Gabbett, General Mana- ger of the Central Railroad, says, in regard to the refusal of the Cen tral to furnish coal cars to the Horse Creek Coal Co., at Birming ham : . It Is true that our company re fused to furnish, for the present, any more cars to the Horse Creek Coal Co., at Birmingham to he loaded with coal for the 8. A. M. It. R. Co., for the reason that tile 8. A. M. road has a very large num berofour cars loaded with coal standing in their yards, iu some instance for a month to six weeks, resulting iu our inability to furnish cars to bo loaded for private parties. We were compelled to take this ac tion in justice to tho general pub lic ss well as ourselves, for unless we'can have the use of our cars we cauuot supply the demands of the public. At this season of the ye'ar coal cars are iu demand, and as coal cannot bo shipped in other cars, it is necessary that wo should have all iu use. The K. A. M. road have now in their possession twelve of our coal cars, which were deliv ered to them hyps two mouths and ten dayH ago, and not yet returned. As soon as those ears are returned our order will be withdrawn and they can get oars the same as any other patron of our road. It is not our iutenliou to boycott Americus or the 8. A. M. road, but to accom modate the public generally as promptly as it lias within our pow er, aud our order in reference to the loading of coal cars is with re ference to that end.” IN COUNTY COURT.

Forrest and Bailiff J. W. Cobb arrested Si Hammond and William Green, two more par ticipants iu the affair of Saturday, yesterday, aud their commitment trial will take place atO o’clock Friday morning.

Sunday Boadlng. During the holidays of last Christmas a man who had been given <o stroug drink, staggered into Tom Gnice’s bar and called for a drink of liquor. Mr. Guice gave it to him and refused the pay for the same. After the man had swallowed his drink Mr. Guice called him to the rear of tlie store and made the following prop osition : That if lie would not take another drink of whisky for twelve months lie would give him a handsome present and a.few dol- iors at the expiration of that time. Tlie raau consented, all hough he was then intoxicated. . IJp to that time the family of this man had known what it was to bo iu want. His children were half clothed aud fed. His faithful wife toiled from early morning un til late at night to keep the wolf from their door, and secretly pray ed that someday sho aud her dear little children, seven in number, would be freed from the demon- liquor. On Christmas last her prayers was answered. The chango waB wrought through Mr. Guice, and the gentleman Is now a happy man and his wife a happy woman; the children go to school, have neat elothesand have contentment mark ed upon their sweet faces, because their papa does not drink any more.
