Company Has Railway Bridge A1
ready,'and Building of a Wagon
Bridge Would Greatly Facilitate
Handling of Freight,
The Seaboard Air Line Railway may
shortly build a magnificent steel
bridge, costing 6100,000, at Savannah,
connecting the island terminals wi:b
the citv and thus greatly facilitating
the handling of freight. The company
haB an iron bridge, two miles up the
river, but what is greatlv needed is a
wagon bridge connecting Hutchin
son's Island with the business centre
of the city. At present all freight
shipments from Savannah are sent
across tho river in lighters, and at con
siderable cost. It is believed in well
informed quarters that the Seaboard
will build this second steel bridge
across the Savannah river at au early
date.

FOUR DEALERS IN CIGARETTES.
Register With Ordinary As Required
By Law.
Where formerly a score of Americus
merchants sold the “aromatic'' cigar
ette, tho number this year is’reduced
to four only. The state law requires
that every cigarette dealer register
with the ordinary and pay a special
license tax of 810. A glance at the
registry in Judge Alien’s otllce yester
day showed that but four dealers in
cigarettes and alcohol has registered
so far and paid the license. One deal
er in pistols had registered, as also re
quired, while tho proprietors of two
billiard halls had left their autographs
on the page. There are seveial other
lines o! business wherein the proprie
tors are also required to register with
the ordinary.
IN OLDEN TIMES
People overlooked the importauce of
permanently beneficial effects and were
satisfied with transient action; but now
that it is generally known that Syrnp
of FigB will permanently overcome
habitual constipation, well informed
people will not buy other laxatives,
which act for a time, but finally injure
the system. Buy the genuine, made
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
DISASTROUS BLAZE IN VIENNA.
Nearly The Entire Business Portion

The extent of the Iosb by fire at

only a small percentage of insurance.
Aching in the small of the back is an

Fluctuation of Only Few Point* in
Market.
Yesterday's cotton market was a sur
prise under existing conditions and the
farther fact that the Liverpool Ex
change was closed on account of the
death of the queen. Instead of a de
cline, us expected, there was an ad
vance in all position*, May closing five
points np from the opening. An even
better market today is predicted by
Americus buyers.
AMERICUS WOULD
BE CONSIDERED
In Selection of Encampment Site This
Year.
COL. WOOTEN FOR ENCAMPMENT
Anxious That His Regiment, the
Fourth Georgia, Should Have One
Week in Camps-America* Has Ex
cellent Grounds Therefor.
The Fourth Georgia Regiment, to
which tho Americus Light Infantry is
attached, may spend a week in camps
this summer, and it is by no means im
probable that thiswhite cityof tents may
bo budded at Camp Gilman here, one
of tbe prettiest of spots for an encamp
ment to be found in Georgia or the
South,
If the Regiment goes into camp
Americus will invite it here.
Colonel Wooten, who commands tbe
Fonrth, is anxious that his regiment
should have at least a week’s encamp
ment, and has already discussed tbe
matter at length.
A day or two ago he called upon Ad
jutant General Robertson in regard
thereto. No provision was made by
the legislature for any encampment
of the troops this year, and should the
Fourth decide to go for an outing the
men will stand the expense.
However, Col. Wooten will endeavor
to get the state to afford all tho assis
tance possible on this line.
Col. Wooten is anxious that tho en
campment be held at some central
point within the district in which his
men reside. Upon this line he is quot
ed as follows:
“I want my men to go into camp at
some point within the district within
which they live,” Col. Wooten said.
‘‘It will bo cheaper for the officers and
men, and tlfbn it will be of some small
benefit at least to whatever section in
the district that is selected for the camp.
‘‘Wo are going to have the encamp
ment if it is possible for ns to do so.”
Americus is about tbe oentre of the
district iu which the Fourth Regiment
is stationed, aud is convenient, of ac
cess from any point.
The companies making np the regi
ment are those of Columbus, Cutbbert,
Fort Gaines, Dawson, Albany, Thom-
asville, Perry,Valdosta,Fitzgerald aud
Americus. Our advantage as a conve
nient central point for these cities is
quite apparent to all.
The officers of the Fourth discussed
among themselves last year such an
encampment as Colonel Wooten sug
gests, aud it met with greatest favor,
Americus would certainly welcome
the encampment, and our city would
entertain the visiting soldiery right
royally. If tbe encampment is order
ed onr citizens and the Light Infantry
will work hard to bring it to Camp
Gilman,
A thousand troops here in midenm-
mer would enliven the situation con
siderably—dont yon think V,
Robbed tbe Grave.
A startling inoldent, of which Mr.
John Oliver of Philadelphia, waa tbe
aubjeot, It Is narrated by him as follows:
“I was in a most dreadful condition.
My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunk
en, tojguo coated, pain continuity in
the back a id s.des, no appetite—gradu
ally growing weaker day by dav. Three
physlcl n * uad given me up. Fortunate
ly, a f. lend advized trying 'Electric Bit
ters;’ and to my great joy and surprse,
the first bottle made a decided improve
ment. I continued tholr use for three
weeks, and am now a well man. I know
they saved my life, and robbed the grave
of another viotl’O, No one should fail
to try them. Only 50 cents per bottle at
IS. J. Eldridge’s Drug Store.
SCHOOLS TO HAVE EXERCISES.
In Memory of Oglethorpe and Mar
shall.
State School Commissioner Glenn
has sent out letters to all the county
school commissioners suggesting ap
propriate exercises ia all the schools
ou February 4th, the 100th anniversary
of Chief Justice Marshall's accession
to the supreme court, aud on Febru
ary 12th , which is Oglethorpe day.
Commissioner Glenn suggests that
each teacher take an hoar on each of
these days for the purpose of instruct
ing the pupils as to tho history of the
men whom the days are set apart to
celebrate.
Constipation leads to liver trouble,
and torpid liver to Bright's Disease.
Thickly Asn Bitters is a certain cure
at any stage of thedisorder. Dr. E. J.
Eldridge.
POLICEMAN EATS HIS CAPTIVE.
An Arrest That Caused an Officer
Much Joy.
Policeman Glawion is not acaunibal,
though he did eat yesterday a prisoner
captured tho night before. While on
Forsyth street tho yaliant cop saw a
blockade runner in tbe shape of a fat
possnm, and crowding all sail the man-
o’-war gave chase and ran down the
fugitive. Never in the history of
Americns was more heartfelt zeal mani
fested in an “arrest” while Glawson
likewise made a record in sprinting.
