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our order will be withdrawn and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.”

During the holidays of last

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.
They were all in town together on
