A Splendid Firm.
The Recorder calls the atten
tion of the public to the law card
of Messri. Hudson A Blalock.
This is a copartnership that has all
the elements neoessary to make it
one of the etrongest law firms In the
State. C. B. Hudson has been for
many years a practicing attorney,
and for near eighteen years Solic
itor-General of the Southwestern
circuit. L. J. Blalock has been in
the practice for a long time, and
near eight years the Solicitor of
Sumter county court. They are
men of fine business attainments,
having few equals in the profession,
and if perseverance, enterprise
and Intellect mean anything, then
all the elements will be found In
the two above named gentlemen.
All they ask Is a trial and we do
not hesitate to say they will give
satisfaction wherever placed or
wanted.
The Macon Brewing Company
and the the Moerleln Company, of
Cincinnati, are having a big beer

ABOUT AMERICUS.
From the Augusta Chronicle.
Americus secures the new rail
road commissioner. There can
no personal objection to Judge AI
len Fort. He is s man of personal
ability and character. The Chron
icle preferred Judge Alex Erwin
because of his experience in the
delicate matters constantly recur,
ring in that office and because
believed that training and fairness
should outweigh mere local and ge
ographlcal considerations.
There Is, however, a kind of pa
tbetlc justice in awarding a place
In the railroad commission
Americus. That town has been
the center of railriad agitation
since 1870. The people of Sumter
county were constantly atoute with
President Wadley. Repeated ap
peals were sent from the business
men to the railroad authorities for
justice, but the managers generally
informed them that they were
“looking after the interests of the
Southwestern railroad and not
Americus.’’ The people complained
through their delegates in the coo
stltutional convention that they
were charged 10 cents more on the
bale of cotton to Savannah than Al
bany, which was thirty miles fur
ther. The rates to New York
showed like discrimination. Amer
icus bad but one railroad and Al
bany had three,and was then a com
petiug point. But Americus pushed
her agitation andthe delegate
In the constitutional convention
1877, Dr. Cooper, was one of the
staunchest supporters of the Toombs
policy of regulating railroads.
In the General Assembly of 1878—
70, Hon. Allen Fort was the Sumter
representative. He was promt
nently engsged in the preparation
of the bill which finally created the
railroad commission, and which
has given so much relief to the peo
ple of Georgia, and which law the
people have never allowed to be
amended. The wisdom of that act
has been abundantly shown
When the Olive bill threatened the
consolidation of the railroad system
in Georgia, the railroad leaders
themselves were glad to seek pro
tection under the shadow ofthe
railroad commission.
Americus furnished another
prominent factor In the railroad ag
itation when her representative in
Congress took a prominent hand
In forming the inter-state com,
mercelaw. Judge Chas. F. Crisp,
whom_ Judge Fort succeeded on
the bench, was one of the most
active members of Congress, who
aided Judge Reagan in passing
through the House of Congress the
railroad commission bill. The
fight which began iu the Georgia
convention by Gen. Toombs was
consummated by his old friend and
ajsociate, Judge Reagan, In Con,
gress; and the agitation of Dr,
Cooper and Allen Fort was com,
pleted by Charles F. Crisp. So the
hand of Americus has been promt
nent in all this business.
