President.
^Ir. W. E. Hawkins, Wislant to tlie
president of the !S., A. * M. wva seen
by a Times-Rkcoiiukk reporter yesfei-
'day awl questioned in regard to tin
road's new acquisition.
■The terras of the lease he withheld,
but ho lie said that the A., F. A- X. will
a#w be operated as a part of the S.,
21. that through rates would he made
on both tho roads, the samo as if they
tore one and that the same rolling stock
tould be operated on both roads.. Ife
aid that no extention of the A., F. &
V. would be made yet awhile.
The S., A. A: M. lias, however, the op
tion on some splendid terminal property
in Albany, which it will secure and im
prove as Is necessary to meet the ob
jects ia view. The A., H. & X. is to
have as good facilities in Albany as any
road |whieh goes there. The general
Offices of tho A., F. A- X. and tho shops
will he one and the same witli those of
flic 8., A. A M. in Amerieus, and they
will remain liesc.
This acquisition is but a link in the
great system which the S., A. A- M. is
becoming. It will be a valuable feeder
for that road.
From one end of the country to the
other the S., A. A M. is becoming
known. The engineer in charge lias
■ notified tho oliiccrs of tlie road that
track laying to Montgomery will be
completed by June gO. Owing to a dc-
Lyb. the shipment of some of the ma
terial far tho bridge across the Chatta
hoochee river that structure will uot be
completed before August 1. Iiy that
time all sidetracks will have been put
In, the terminal facilities will be ar-
rqngiAi in Montgomery, ail surfacing
will have been done and the road will be
toady for the large traffic ft is sure to
recive. *
Mr. W. E, Hawkins says that dur
the coming fall tho business of the road
will, he has every reason to believe, bo
$10,000 per month In excess ' of what it
wasdnrlng the fall of 1890. When the al
most phenomenal business done during
that season is considered it will be seen
•t a glance how wonderful is the busi
ness of the Savannah, Americas &
Montgomery road, and I
GASHED WITH \ KNIFE.
The ■
vliieli i
’uId not he used last fall,* will
be ia a condition the e«jual of that of
*anv road iu the country and the >.. A.
a: M. by reason of its traffic arrange
ments with the G., M. A- G and the Co
lumbus .Southern roads will handle an
immense business from Columbus,
Giifiiu and other points reached by
those roads. The Savannah, Americas
and Montgomery road w ill make a sur
prising showing for its work during
1891. The people of Americas hope it
all manner of success.
