THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES--RECORDER: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1898.
Gen. Sander Is En Route to
Americus.
WENT FIRST TO COLUMBUS
And Will Probably Come Here This
Afternoon or Tonight.—Every
thing at Knoxville Camp
Beady to Hove Southward
The news of the coming of General
danger to Americus, published in The
Tiues-Becobdeb yesterday, was read
■with the greatest interest by onr citi
yens and was the general topic of dis
cussion throughout the day. General
Sanger was expected to reach Colum
bus yesterday morning, and after lo
cating the camp there will como direct
to Americus, probably arriving hero
today or tomorrow. General Sanger
will command the Second brigade,
which will be located here, though his
visit at this time is merely to select the
camp site. It is quite probable that
the movement of troops will begin
next week. By order of the war de
partment everything at the Knoxville
camp has been put in shape, so that
when the order to movo is given the
troops can get away quickly. One
of the regiments ordered to Americus
is at Knoxville while the others are at
Camp Hamilton, near Lexington, Ky.
DODSON OF SUMTER ELECTED
President of the State Senate on
Wednesday.
As was to have been expected. Hoc.
tV illiam A. Dodson was elected presi-
■ilenkof the state senate yesterday and
will preside over that distingnished
body daring the term just; entered
upon. A telegram conveying this
pleasing information to his friends in
Americas was received yesterday noon,
and while it was fnlly expected that
this honor would be conferred upon
Sumter's brainy young son the faot of
his election by a unanimous vote was
none the less gratifying. Senator
Dodson's snccoss has been praotically
assured for sevoral weeks, though it
was not nnkuown that some other
aspirant for the presidency might de
velop npon the assembling of the so
loes yesterday. This was not the case,
however, and it is now President Dod
son by the unanimous vote of the
senate of Georgia.

ordinary cotton bronght only 4-j cents
ami sometimes even less. But the
onlture of sea island cotton is mncli
more difficult, Air. Mims says, and
four bales to the plow is considered u
fair yield.

that the south will be more at the mer

Tbe salvation of the south, ho says,
depends upon her ability to maintain
that i>ortion of states’ rights which al
lows the state to regulate its own in

principle conceded to congress, which
congress will take under its nationali

will leave the south helpless to protect
herself from the loose habits of the
“acquired possessions” and from the
fanaticism which still prevails in the
north iu regard to certain questions in
the south.
