Lost—a fine large case of the chills.
Supposed tohave been carried off *
Tnesday morning about eleven
o’clock, a young white man about
twenty-four year* of age came to the
city riding a beautiful sorrel horse.
The horse was a perfect beauty, aud as
be was ridden leisurely through the
streets every one turned to look at him.
The rider had an unkempt appear*
ance, and both he and the beantifu)
animal which he was astride gave evi
dence ot hiving come a considerable
distance. No one knew the horse
uor the rider, who passing by Farkas*
stable made a circuit of the lower sec-
lion of the city, and coming up the
riverfront passed over the Flint by
Tift-’* bridge.
A few minutes after the stranger had
passed, Chief of Police Westbrook re
ceived a telegram asking a lookout to
be kept for a horse thief riding.a hand
some sorrel horse.
As sson as the telegram was received
the police officers of the city were no
tified, and began to lockout for the
thief.
A few moments after this a pursuing
party headed by Sheriff Martin, of
Lee county, arrived in the- city, and
after receiving information that
the man they wanted had crossed
the river a few minutes before,
they secured fresh teams and
reinforced by Mr. Max Cassel and
Officer Barron, started in rapid pur
suit, overtaking the fleeing horse thief
a short distance from the city. When
the man was first sighted he was look
ing over his shoulders as if expecting
pursuit, and seeing the pursu
ing party, he put bis stead at i
redoubled pace. The pursuers also
put on more steam, aud seeing that he
was being rapidly gained upon, owing
to the tired condition of his horse, the
thief quit the saddle and started on a
run down the railroad track.
At this officer Barron sprang from
from the buggy in which he was riding
and took after the fugitive, followed
by one of the Lee county men.
Tne thief was a very poor sprinter,
and Officer Barron gained rapidly on
him, as did the Lee county man who
was some distance behind Officer Bar
ron. At this time the thief was about
a hundred and fifty yards ahead of his
pursuers, when Offi :er Barron called
to the Lee county man to shoot the fu
gitive, which was done without hesi
tation, but did not check the thief’s
flight. The pursuit being still con
tinued, and Officer Barron having
arrived in clo*e range, ordered the
man to stop, or he would shoot, and
the order was then obeyed, and Officer
Barron was the first to place hands ou
him. The balance of the party then
came up and tli9 prisoner being
searched, with the stolen horse, was
brought back to the city.
Arriving in the city the Lee county
party and Officer Barron became iu-
v »lved in hu altercation concerning
who was entitled to the prisoner, which
cuded by the prisoner being left in the
hands of the Lee county people under
a protest, while a dispatch was sent to
Americus asking that whstever.re ward
which might have been offered for the
thief and horse should be field up pend
ing the hearing ol the claims of Officer
Barron.
The Lee county party was very
reticent concerning the thief, and
would not talk, but ic was learned that
the man’s name is T. W. McNorton,
and that his home is either in North or
South Carolina.
At a late hour Saturday'night per
sons on Broad street were startled with
a woman’s terrifying screams and the
lusty call of a masculine Yoke for the
police.
The screams and call came from the
Central Hotel, which of late has be
come a sort of sensational field, and in
answer to them two or three of the po
lice force rushed up tins stairway lead
ing to the hotel, expecting something
horrible.
But they missed their expectations,
and only four tailors in a room en
gaged in a rough and tumble fight,
while the daughter of oue of them,
who was sleeping in an adjoining room
and bad both aroused by iheir curses,
was wringing her hands in agony and
screaming at the top of her v rice. The
names of the men are Baker, Williams,
and old man McDonald and his con.
The young lady was the daughter of
Williams, who is also an old mac.
It seems* that after the men were
paid oft for their week’s work, they
immediately proceeded to indulge in
““tanglefoot,” but the jounger
McDonald and old man Williams did
not hive enough money to put them in
the desired state of intoxication. In or
der therefore to come up to the stand
ard of their desires, they made a de
mand on the elder McDonald and Ba
ker for funds to meet the deficit, which
being refused them the tight began,
and ended with three of them be
ing landed in the lockup.
The mayor will look at them through
his glasses on Wednesday, but Itis
glasses will not be filled as their’s
were—they will be filled with justice.

The A;bany Guards Invited to Par*
tleipnie In tbs Sfeiaoricl Exercises
si Cslanbs*.
The members of the Albany Guards
are now discussing with a good deal of
interest an iuvitation which they have
received to participate in the memorial
services at Colnmbus.
Up to date it looks as if no memorial
services will be held in this city. Four
gentlemen of neighboring cities have
been asked to deliver the memorial ad
dress, but all of them liave declined
under one excuse aud another.
In the event that no exercises arc to
lie held here, and that the exercises in
Columbus are held on the 26th, which
is Sunday, the Guards will nn doubt
*e k ure a special train and accept the
invitation to participate in the exer
cises in that city, and as Capt. Wooten
is to be the orator of the occasion, the
coinpauy will go over under the com
mand of Lieutenant R. L. Jones.
A goo-1 many members of the com
pany are anxious to accept the invlta
tion without reservation.
The Guards have been playing the
part ot hosts so long, that just to vary
things they want to experience the
sensation of being guests.
In the event the company goea to
Columbus the members of the
company will no doubt be ac
companied by a large number of civil
ian friends and ladies, and the trip
will prove a pleasant one.
The News asd Advertiser find:
pleasure in devoting cnusid^rab’i
jspaee to what a few cf the
papers of the State have wdd about the
Georgia Chautauqua. To re-produce
all tbe pleasant things that have been
said about this great institution would
demand more space than the News
and Advertiser has at its disposal,
'The newspapers of the State h*v*
showered upon the Chautauqua tbe
most generous aud unselfish praise,
and to tbe attention that they have d« -
voted to it U due & very large shai>
of the credit for its success. Here art
a few opinions from the columns ol
those papers which were represented
on Press Day:
ITS ORIGIN ALMOST ACCIDENTAL.
Itai S. llortoh, id Atlanta Journal.
A little more than three years ago,
Dr. W. A. Duncan, a New York man
and a leader ia the New York Chau
tauqua, came south iu search of a win
ter health resort. He chanced to *tn
in Albany aod there met Colonel Nel
son Tift, tbe patriarch of Albany. The
result of that visit and of chat meeting
with Col. Tift w as the founding of the
Chautauqua. Its first session was held
three years ago. Each succeeding
meeting has been more successful than
the other, aud the permanence of the
institution is already ss-ured.
Dr. Duueau and hiscoiaborers in the
Georgia Chautauqua are doing a work
whose influence will not be limited by
the state boundaries. It is a grand, a
noble work, of which Albany maj
well be proud, and which Georgia, and
especially southwest Georgia, will uoi
bo slow to appreciate.
The special schools, taught by teach
ers trained at the original New York
Chautauqua, have been in session slnei
the 10th of March. Last Monday tne
Chautauqua proper opened, and each
day this week lias been crowded witi.
a rich program of literary entertain
ment of the highest order, affording to
those in attendance opportunities
w hich they could never bare had oth
erwise without a visit to the larger
cities.
The advantages of thus bringing
within reach of the people a course ol
lectures on literary aud scientific and
popular subjects from the most noted
men ou the lecture platform and op
portunities for a few weeks of training
in special schools, need no argument
to show their value. It is the same
principle that is observed in tbe In
dus’rial world by “bringing the mill*
to the cocton.” Not every Georgian
can vl*lt the intellectual centers of the.
country aud enjoy their advantage?,
out every Georgian can reap beuefit
from the feast of rich literary viand*
served up to the visitors at the Chau
tauqua at Alb my.
The newspaper men who sfent

sound the praises of Albany, Dr. Dun
can and the Georgia Chautauqua.

Albany’s appreciation ot her guests.
No words of ours can paint a picture
of the brilliant scene, nor can It tell of
the many tempting viands contained
in the eight course*. Albany’s fairest
daughters anil hadsome matrons were
there. The brains and wir of Albany

The responses lo the toastt were gems
of thought that flowed from the
tongu-s of the gifo-d orators like the
sparitiing water from a bubbling
spring and thrilled the listeners like
effervescent champaign.
These are but a few of the countless
endorsements which the Chautauqua
has received, which have not only
given the great institution the promi
nence which it merits, bnt ha3 made
Albany the best advertised city In the
State.
The people of Albany owe the edi
tors of Georgia a debt of gratitude
which they can never fully repay, tut
when they gather here on Press Day
o! the next Chautauqua, they will be
given such evidences of Albany’s ap
preciation as will testify to its sin
cerity, If it does not remove the obli
gation under which she rests.

^The grand jury then retired to their

sworn in. The jury is made up of
splendid material and its work will
no doubt be thorough. There were
very tew of the jurors drawn who had

A big effort will be made to crowd

Dr. P. L. Ililsman was called on
Thursday to remove a huge cancer on
Sarah Mathews, a negro woman living
on the Cocke place in Lee county.
Drs. Bacon and Robinson were present
and assisted in the operation.
The womau was placed under the in
fluence of ether and then the knife
was applied. Tbe cancer was a very
large one—and in order to get at its
roots the entire Tight breast, weighing
three or four pounds, was removed.
The redundant skin was then brought
together, and the patient is now doing
well.

The mortality from what are called
winter diseases Is not easily estimated.
Coughs, colds, bronchitis and sore
throat make up fully one-half of the
death rate. More people die from pneu
monia, which first began as a “bad
cold” than from consumption. Hum
phreys’ Specifics Nos. 1 and 7, for fever
and inflamatton, for coughs and colds,
are sovereign; curing promptly .mildly,
safely and effectually, and thus arrest
ing pneumonia—as hundreds of thons-
auds testify. They have been in use
for many years, ami have so univer
sally met the expectations of the peo
ple that we are aiino?t “carrying coals

Fitla a L*b- Fell Want.
Mr. T. C. Parker, proprietor of the
Southern News Agency, ha3 recently
erected a cozy little room on the plat
form at the Union passenger depot
where a person can now get a lancb,
fruits, confectioneries; or n book or a
paper to read at any hoar of the day or
night. In consequence of this fact,
the old lunch women with their greasy
baskets are things of the past.
Mr. Parker has held the lunch privi
leges at the anion depot for several
years, but until recently bas been nn-
able to secure sufficient space from the
Central necessary for his accommoda
tion, which, at las% is not as ample

HE WAS HERE PRESS DAY.
TliotnasTire Times- Enterprise.
The writer took a day off this week
and spent it in Albany. Albany is a
good place to spend a day off—or a day
on. Albany is a daisy. She’s a hus
tler, and a rustier from away back.
Everyone there lias his shoulder to the
wheel, and the car of progress is-mov
ing—moving right along. Everybody
talked Chautauqua. Chautauqua ;s a
drawing card, and Albany is “in it.”
Albany is fairly entitled to the ap
pellation of the “Artesian City.”
Crystal streams come gurgling up from
a doz*>n artesian wells, supplying the
population with the purest water.
Tiie place Is a great railroad center.
Innumerable tracks converge about
the depot, tbe trains arriving almost
hourly from every point of tbe com
pass.
The citizens are establishing and en
couraging manufacturing and all kinds
of small industries. And this will
build up a prosperous and populous
city.
There is a solid, substantial, come-
to-stay air of prosperity and progress
about the place, which is unmistaka
ble.

ITS INFLUENCE IS BEING FELT ON ALL
SIDES.
Gteensboro Herald-Jomini,
About three years a go this institn
tion wa* established in the city of Al
bany, and. each year ha-* added to its
snccess and influence. Now it Is upon
a permanent and substantial basis, and
the measure of good it will accomplish
is measureless.
Tbe institution was established
through the energy and pnhlic spirit
of Dr. W. A. Duncan, of New York,
a prominent figure in Chautauqua as
semblies, aided by enterprising'and
earnest citizens of Southwest Georgia.
The season just closed bas beer*
one of the most successful in its history
and the promise for the future is ex
ceedingly bright. The special classes
have been instructed hy tbe b*>st talent
of tbe country, and the lectures have
been delivered by men eminent in this
country.
Tbe Influence pf the Georgia Chau
tauqua i3 being felt on all sides by
those who have been drawn witbin the
circle of Its refining and improving
atmosphere. It has brought the visit
ors from the various sections into
ciqscr conch with each other. It has
had the eflect of broadening the views
and stfmnlatiRg a liberality of mind in
thousands, and its work bas only com
menced.
It Is an institution which most bring
innumerable blessings to the people
and the State, and with tbe hearty en
couragement of the citizens of Albany
and of the entire section, the future
will show its beneficent influence.
Education in its broadest sense has
been fostered and will be still fur
thered advanced by the Georgia Chau
tauqua, and the people of the State
wish it God speed!—Greensboro Her
ald-Journal. '
THE WEATHER HAD NO EFFECT ON IT.
Coltnnbus Enquirer-Sun.
The Chautauqua althongh not fa
vored with the best quality of weather
characteristic of tbe Sunny Sontb, has
been a success. In conversation with
Ur. J. S. Davis, the genial and efficient
superintendent and secretary, your
correspondent learned that the results
have been eminently satisfactory and

A Mad Cotameaiary.
A gentleman who was present at the
lawn party given at Mrs. Clark’s resi
dence Tae3day evening, informed the
News and Advertiser yesterday that
the conduct of some of the small boys
who were present was absolutely dis
graceful, and characteristic more of
ruffians titan children of refined
parents. Dnriugthe course of the en-
;'.-rtainment these bojrs were continu
ally burling bread and cake at each
/titer much to the annoyace of their
elders. J)ue of them threw a rook
which came very near striking a lady,
and their boisterousnes* was only sub
dued by threats of sending for a police
man.
This is not the first complaint of a
similar nature which has come to the
News and Advertiser.
On several occasions, during the
Chautauqua, probably these same un-
gen tie manly aod boisterous boys sut-
jacted themselves to open correction
for their unseemly conduct daring the
exercises under tbe tent.
The News and Advertiser sug
gests that ungentlemanly conduct on
tbe part of any boy is a reflection, not
only upon himself, but upon his pa
rentage and tbe conditions neder
which he ba3 been reared, and It hopes
that every boy who reads these llnta
will learn to look at the matter in the
same light, and tho«e who have been
guilty of reproachable conduct in tbe
past, will hereafter so conduct them
selves as to bring credit upon them
selves and the authors of their being.
The Nkw8 and Advertiser does not
advise the boys of Alb.any to transform
themselves at once Into the goody
goody variety, who have no apprecia
tion of that kind of fuff which m boy
can enjoy without rendering himself
obnoxious and drawing maledictions
upon his own head and shame upon bis
Mrents, but it advises them to learn to
be gentlemen while they are young.
Hon. L. F. Livingston, President of
the State Farmers’ Alliance, made an
aldres* at th“ Court Bouse in Li.Is city
last Friday a t moor.
It was not generahy known that Mr.
Livingston would be here; ic was not
even known that he would be here at
all until yesterday morning, and a
\ very small audience greeted him—
not over fifty.
Mr. Livingston waa Introduced by
Mr. a. P. Vason, President- of the
Dougherty county Alliance, aud made
**De*ch of about three-quarters of an
hour in length. He first addressed
ilmself to the subject of what theor-
ler had accomplished since its organi
zation two years ago, and the good it is
loing. He spoke of the confidence it
had generated among the farming
class, of the assistance it had been to
mm iu purchasing supplies, and of the
wonderful benefits ic had thrown in
his way as an educator and the com
parative expense it was to each mem
ber.
He said that there was a certain ele
ment in the order that does not beloog
in it and that it was rapidly being got
ten rid of. He laid down the princi
ple that the Alliance platform of prin
ciples I* fashioned after the principles
jf the Democratic party and the teach
ings of Thomas Jefferson. He con
tended that she Alliance not only ha*
die right to enter politict but «un*t en
ter politics for the maintenance of the
aeasures for which it is struggling
He‘ predicted a bright future for the
irder, and made a strong appeal for
Alliancemen to stand together.
His remark* were frequently Inter
rupted with applause, aud a; ter his
uldress a large number of the AlHance-
men present were introduced to him
and a general conversation followed.

In the notes of the Macon Telegraph’s
correspondent at the State Baptist con
vention receutly in session in Hawkins-
ville, the following pleasant notice of 8
citizen of Albany is found:
A coming man is Rev. E. B. Carroll,
of Albauy, Ga. Mr. Carroll Is a strong
preacher. Albany, with aU her cul
ture and refinement, is delighted with
him. Much of his pastoral life has
Iaien spent with country churches,
which gave him an opportunity for
study and research. Hence he is a
man of rich mental endowments. Hia
country life made him modest and
he hardly ever speaks in the conven
tion.
Silver Beuqaet Helder*.
The spring time with Us flowers has
brought with it a new fad
which is a silver bouquet
holder. This clever little device is
worn iu the button-hole of one’s coat,
and is nothing more nor less than a
little vase, in which a button-hole bou
quet can be worn and kept fresh.
Wiil McDowell was tbe first young
man to purchase one and tbe other
dear boys are rapidly following his
example.
It is so nice to be able to keep your
flowers fresh, doncherknow.

Albany will send forth three .of her
•one on Memorial Day, the 27th
tnsL, to as many neighboring cities as
Memorial Day-orators.
These gentlemen and the places they
will speak at are as follows:
Capt. W. E. Wooten, will deliver
the memorial address at Colnmbns
Judge W. T. Jones, at Bainbridge, and
Mr. W. W. Turner, at Cuthbert.
All of the cities named are famed for
the refinement and culture of their peo
ple, and their choice having fallen on
Albany citizens for memorial speakers
may justly be considered a com
pliment not only to the gentle
men selected, but to their city as well.
Besides tbe many other advantages
and rich possessions which Albany
holds, it seems to be pretty generally
regarded as the home of eloquence.
And really it Is. There are more men
In Albany who can talk entertainingly
than any other city of its siz- in Geor
gia, and Georgia is ahead of the bal
ance of the world in that particular.
A meeting of the City Council was’
held Monday night, and, after the
transaction of some routine busines?,
went into the consideration of the
question at issue between Col. Tift and
the B. & W v railway, relative to the
crossing at Washington and North
streets.
La3t week the B. & W., pnt Jdown a
new siding across Washiogtan street
ia order to connect their own main
track with Crnger & Pace’s side track,
thereby relieving them of the necessity
for switching over the Central track.
The frog of this new track was exact
ly in the path of Col. Tift’s street rail
way, and for it to.remain there, meant
an expense of four or five hundred
dollars to either the railroad or Col.
Tift for the necessary crossing. Col.
Tift did not think it was right for
him to have thb expense to bear, and
the railroad thought the same way
about it.
And then the city fathers was called
in to settle the matter between the con
tending parties, and after going down
and making a critical survey of the
situation they decided at the meeting
Monday night and adopted the follow
ing resolution:
Resolved, That theB. & W. railway
be required to make connection with
their compress track on the eastern side
of Washington street, and not to lay
another track on Washington street.
This can be easily done by removing
three telegraph poles and some other
little expense very small In compari-
*on to tbe expense of an extra crossing,
arid will serve the purposes of all par-
tie* concerned.
In the consldertlon of this question
Mr. E. N. Clarke represented the B.
& W., and stated that If they were
made to take up their new track, it
would force them to break their con
tract with Crnger & Pace. This
brought Col. Tift forward, who
said that there was no reason
why the company should do any
inch thing, and if they did he
would see if the rights ot private prop
erty owners were worth anything. He
.aid that tracking facilities, which the
B. A W. now enjoys on North street,
were a detriment to his property on
that itreet, and that he had permitted
it so far without a murmur. Col. Tift
showed by his manner that he was in
earnest, and if the B. & W. attempts to
break iu contract with Cruger & Pace,
there is going to be mnsic in the air.
Bnt the Company will not attempt
anything of the kind, as under the de
cision of the Council there Is no reason
for It.

—Tbe spring term of Early county
Superior Court bas been in session this
week, Judge J. H. Guerry, presiding:
In the case of the State ▼ s Will
Anderson, who some time
since killed John Castello In
a barroom row in this place, the grand
Jury after a thorough investigation de
cided that the killing was not murder
as was charged in the warrant on which
Anderson was arrested, but man

goes over until the next regular term.
Anderson is now out of jail on ball in
the snm of $5,000, which he found no
trouble to seenre.
Two negroes were found guilty of
murder at this term, but they were
recommended to mercy, and therefore
instead of death wjll get life sentences
in the penitentiary.
St*r«d Away.
The big Chautauqua tent tabernacle
has been token down and stored
away, as has also been done with the
seats and the other Chautauqua appur
tenances.
It will be sn^tiiytng to every friend
of tbrChantatiqua to know that, not
withstanding the bad weather which
prevailed during the first days of the
assembly, that tbe gate receipts and the
receipts from the normal classes
amounted to within a few dollars of
enough to pay all expenses.
And in this connection It may be
mentioned that Dr. and Mrs. Ander
son evinced their unselfish interest In
the Chautauqua by acccepting with
reluctance only enough to defray
tbe expenses of their trip to and from
Albany. Tills mo*t excellent
couple certainly have acquired a warm
place in the hearts of Albanians, and
their presence at the next Chautauqua
is earnestly hoped for.

Capt. tt. R. Weston .Tuesday ten
dered his resignation as one of the
board of county commissioners which
was accepted, leaving only Mr. A. W.
Cosby to attend to the duties of tills
Important department of the county
government.
Capt. Weston v f resignation was due
to the demands of his private interests,
which having multiplied and increased
to such an extent asrender it impossible
to be just to blmselt and to .the connty
at the same time, he therefore thought
it best to resign in order that some cit
izen less hampered by private interests
should be appointed in his stead.
He has been a faithful and efficient
official, and the compensation which
he has received for bis services is not
to lie compared with their actual
worth.
It is understood that Mr. A. W. Cos
by will also resign his place on tbe
board as soon as the grand jury fills
the existing vacancies. It is to be
hoped, however, that Mr. Co3by will
defer his resignation as long as possi
ble, in order to give tbe new appointees
the advantage of his experience in the
administration of tbe financial affairs
of the county.

BAISBBIDUE NO IBS. -
The Coiambus Southern Railroad no
longer enjoys terminal facilities at this
point in connection with the S. F. &
W. That arrangement has been
abolished by common consent, the
former ceasing to sell tickets at til’s
point until it can build a passenger
shed of its own for temporary use. It
may be said however, that because of
the abolition of its ticket office the
fare which has now to be paid to the
condnctor is the same as ifa ticket had
been purchased.
The News and A dveetiser has ex-
c-llent authority for saying that the
Columbus Southern and A. N. & F.,
will build a depot together on the de
pot site of the latter at the corner of
Washington and North streets. This
will be done within two or three
mouths.
Further, the News and Advertiser
has information concerning a deal In
negotiation between the Georgia Mid
land & Gulf, and the Georgia and
North Carolina road which has for its
object a blending of their interests.
These companies will use the same
terminal facilities at Atlanta,
and their combined . lines which
includes the Columbus, Southern
which will be extended to
Quitman, and there connect with the
Quitman and Tampa road, will make a
short and direct line from Florida to
the North and East.
It is absolutely certain that the ex
tension of the Columbus Southern will
be begun In a very few month*, and
that it will take the direction spoken
of above. The road can nos afford to
stop here forever, and In order, there
fore, to realize a foil measure of pros
perity it mast go farther South in or
der to Increase its value as a Southern
connection.
In the event that the deal outlined
materializes, the line will certainly
hare some very positive advantages
which will not be enjoyed by It* com
petitors, and these advantages will
be of immense benefit to Albany.

A Disappointed Crowd.
The arrest of McNorton, the Ameri
cus horse-thief, near here last Monday,
and the return of the horse which he
had stolen to his owner, a man by tbe
name of Smith, did not result in alto
gether as large a reward as was ex
pected by those who participated in
the pursuit and arrest of the thief.
The stolen horse wa3 a very beauti
ful animal, and it is said his owner
valued Urn at one tiionsand dollars.
When the horse was returned to
Smith he remarked:
“When the horse was stolen I would
uot have taken $1,000 for him, and
now!as he stands with a pos
sibility of being badly dam
aged, l wouldn’t take $500 for him,”
and right on top of that assertion when
Sheriff Martin claimed whatever re
ward was offered for the capture of
the thief and the return of the horse,
Smith coolly offered to give bis check
for five dollars to pay tbe expenses of
the sheriff and others in the pursuit
and capture.
Sheriff Martin indignantly refused
Smith’s offer, and it can safely be put
down that if Smith ever Joses another
horse by theft there will be no extra
ordinary efforts to capture the thief.
ABOUT THAT COTTON FACTORY

Does Albany want a cotton factory?
-an enterprise that will add several
hundred people to its population with
the benefits that will accrue from
their citizenship.
Last week the News and Adver
tiser published a letter from the own
ers of a large cotton plant In North
Carolina, which stated that they were
desirous of getting nearer to the cotton
fields, and offering to bring tlieir
$80,000 plant to this city, and furnish
experienced operators and manage
ment if the citizens would take two-
thirds of the stock of the company.
This same company 6eems to be in
earnest abdiit moving their plant, for
they are now in correspondence with
persons in a number of towns
in Georgia, among them our lively
little neighbor Dawson, which has
called a meeting of its citizens for next
Friday at 10 o’clock a. m., to discuss
and consider the proposition which has
been made to remove the cotton plant
there,
Dawson Is a lively little city, and Its
citizens are pushing its growth for
ward at a rapid rate. One thing that
is significant about the call
of citizens to consider the prop
osition of the North Carolina people,
is that they are called to meet at
ten o’clock in the morning, which
shows that the question is considered
one of sach importance to the city, as
to merit the attendance of the citizens
at the buiiest portion of the day.
And that’s the way Albany should
regard it.. If Albany is co be
come the city of that importance
to which her natural advantages entitle
her, a basis other than her present
dependence upon the agricultural pro
ducts of her territory must be laid.
No reasonable expectations of future
growth can be entertained as long as
tbis basis is limited to such depend
ence, and it therefore behooves every
good citizen to consider well the
establishment of manufacturing en
ter prises, first and foremost of which
is a cotton factory, and Albany can
have one of these if she wants it.
Then the others will follow.

A meeting of the officials and other

congregation in this city took place at
the First National Bank Tuesday after-
afternoon, for the purpose of devising
ways and means for the improvement
of tbe church building.
The result ot the meeting, as far as
the News and Advertiser could
learn, amounted to a decision to re
model the present church building at a
cost of three or foar thousand dollars,
it appearing that a sufficient amount
to build a new church could not be
secured.
Three or four thousand dollars judi

now about that cotton factory, and
other manufacturing enterprises?
But the cotton factory first.
The News and Advertiser does
not wish to weary its readers with the
unnecessary agitation of aoy visionary
scheme, and it is not going to do so if
it knows itself, and it thinks it does.
But a coftou factory is no visionary
scheme, and it makes fold to bring up
the subject again this moaning, with an
illustration of what can bs done when
the people of a town put their heads
together and their shoulders to the
wheel in an effort to do something to
wards building up their town.
As this article is being written, be
fore the writer lies a ball of wrapping
twine and a ball of sewing thread
made at the cotton mill in Union

and twine were manufactured is one

Is the fruit entirely of the determina
tion of the citizens of the town in which
it is situated to do something.
And they have done something that
they have reason to feel proud of, and
which, at its very inception, promises
to realize their most sanguine expecta
tions.
The Herald, a live weekly paper
published at Union Springs, makes the
ibllowiug flattering showing for the
halted time the mill has been In oper
ation:
At tbe annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Union Springs Cotton
MUl, on April 7th, 1891, Dr. C. H.
Franklin, president, made a full report
which showed the enterprise lo be al
ready a pronounced snccess. This re-
B ort ia too lengthy for publication here,
ut we glean from It the following
salient facto and figures:
The factory began actual work on
the 24th day of January, 1801, with
what, experts say, is the best modem
plant or its capacity in the country,
everything having been put in first-
class shape by Maj. A. Randall, the
dens ex machina of this great under
taking. He has ably and successfully
performed the manilold duties oi arch
itect, constructor, purchasing agent
and superintendent.
It takes twenty bales of cotton ju-t
to fill the various machines in this
mill.
At present forty hands, male and fe
male, are employed at wages from
twenty-five cento to $2 per day.

Row It occurs to the News and Ad
vertiser that Albany offers every ad-
vantange for the successful manufac
ture of cotton. It is right iu the center
of the cotton fields and as a market
leads Southwest Georgia. It offers
most superior advantages in the fact
that the brick and other material need

subsequently taken up, and now where
the pipes formerly ran the oato are yel
low and stunted, while a foot away

Mr. J. VV. Joiner collared the re
porter yesterday and explained that
the reason why this was thus was be
