FROM STATESBORO TO ATHENS HR. GABBETT ENTHUSIASTIC. VOHK OK STATESBORO AKD SOUTHERN SOOX TO I)KGIK. toinpany to Be Formed Under Laws „f Maine This Week—Right ot May. is Practically Settled and ltoute Fully Determined—Rumor That the Seaboard Will Take Over the Statesboro and Saynnttah not (onlirtned By President Gabbett. Confidence in the success of the project to build a railroad from States boro to Athens was the cheering as surance given yesterday by Mr. Cecil Ga 'Oett, principal promoter of the en ter! rise. Mr. Gabbett talked interestingly con erning the progress of his labors to organize the company and interest capital. After stating that the outlook is very encouraging, he said work on the roadway would perhaps commence within the next five or six months. The company was to have been organized in Maine, under its law, this week, but whether this had been done Mr. Gabbett said he had not heard. After the organization in Maine is effected the company will be reorganized in Georgia. . Working' for Right of Way. The route for the road has been defi nitely determined. From Statesboro the right of way is to Midville, from jlidville to Louisville, from Louisville to Thomson, from, Thomson to Wash ington, from Washington to Smitho nia. and thence to Athens. The right of way has not all been secured, and until it has been the route between the places named can not be exactly determined. The work of closing the details for the exact right of way will be proceeded with as rapidly as practicable. The line taps virgin territory and to an already prosperous country, it will bring the advantage of better markets for products. To the towns along the route it means added business, and to Statesboro, where Mr. Gabbett has an especial interest, it means better fa cilities and increased population. Seaboard and ibe S. & S. Referring to the rumor that the Sea board Air Line would secure control of the Statesboro and Savannah Rail way, of which Mr. Gabbett is president, at the beginning of the new year, Mr. Gabbett said such a move was not likely. However, he said, he could not say what might develop later. There have been two postponements of the annual meeting of the board of directors of this road, and .this fact caused many to think there was some truth in the story. The next meeting of the board of directors is set for Dec. 13, in this city. If the consolidation is effected it is altogether probable that Mr. Gabbett will thereafter devote all of his efforts to the construction of the Statesboro and Northern Railroad. Statesboro is Prosperous. Mr. Gabbett said more cotton had been received in Statesboro this year than ever before; and the merchants are prosperous and jubilant. “The city had recently established a waterworks plant, and now hue electric lights,'* said Mr. Gabbett. “It is building rap idly and has the brightest prospects, owing to the richness of the adjacent country.” He said he considered the people of Statesboro as thoroughly loyal as in any community where he has resid ed. The lynching, he said, was an un fortunate occurrence, and was more of an accident than anything else. “I never saw more law-abiding citizens in my life than in Statesboro,” said Mr. Gabbett. BY WATERED RAIL. The steamer Kansas City, of the Ocean Steamship Company, will sail for New York at 8 o’clock this morn ing. Mr. T. S. Moise, superintendent first division.

Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but a waj s under onginax or officinal names and they never sell false brands, or imitation medicines. ey are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and es ot toilet amcles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances, he earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits con erred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usuallv their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toil. They all know that Syrup of igs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the weH informed purchasers of the choicest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package. hey know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliousness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as foyrup of £ lgs, and they are glad to Bell it because it gives universal satisfaotipn. . ' J ' Tin S to the excellence of of Figs, the universal satisfaction whjch it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, Dut there are +v, Vlt^Ua i , u SS lsts t° be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greed gets the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit Such preparations sometimes have the name—“ Syrup of Figs”—or “Fig Syrup” and of some piratical concern, fi ° tltloUC s y ru P company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of u i ° m P an y. California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of “Syrup of Figs” or “Fig Syrup,” which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Cos. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal. agents, and in the filling of physicians’ prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased every where, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, b’ f as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name o f the Company— California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. The Governorship. Willacooehee Sun: There are now three announced candidates for Gov ernor of Georgia in 1906—J. H. Estili, of the Savannah News; Clark Howell, of the Atlanta Constitution, ‘and former Attorney General Boykin Wright, of Augusta. The Sun is personally acquainted with all three of the candidates and recognize in them gentlemen of emi nent ability, and fully qualified to fill the position to which they aspire. While the Sun does not irrevocably choose its candidate for the governor ship thus early in the campaign, it does not hesitate to say that the publishers, In ti. ir individual capacity, supported John Holbrook Estili two years ago, and nothing has yet transpired to change their .minds as to the superior fitness of their candidate for the place. The Sun is not disappointed with the present administration. The qtate needs now, as it did two years ago, a thorough business administration. Be lieving this, Candidate Estili looms up In their minds as the man, par excel lence, to place at the helm. Statesboro Grocery Cloned By Sheriff. Statesboro. Ga., Dec. 9.—The firm ot O. C.
