The moment the screw men of the ships heard the report they swarmed out, flourishing their revolvers and rifles, but they could not find the enemy. Tonight the men congregated in the neighborhood and the report is that both the negroes and the whitee are preparing for a fight to morrow. The governor arrived tonight ano held a long conference with the directors of the cottoa exchange. It is expected that he will order out the militia.

The Last Word of the Sentence Appears This Evening. Qreet Interest Taken in it by the Young People of the City. Nothing has aver equaled the Hubtlbb oy Romb’« prize contoete the last word of which appear a this evening. The young people of the city have taken more than uaual inter est in it, because is is for, and *•'- peals directly to them. The main prize ie one that any intelligent boy or girl wants, a complete set •of the Constitution’s Encyclopae dia Britanica. The set will be hand somely and durably bound, and will prove a life-long and useful help. And besides this, every boy or <irl who competes will have the assurance that if they do not get the Encyclopaedia, they will get a handsome saving bank if they should build the sentence aorrect ly. The last word of the series which appears today, was not known in this office until five minutes before the paper went to press, and all the outsiders, and parties not di rectly connected with the paper were forbidden to go into the com posing room. This will give children, who get the paper a few minutes later than those nearer the office, an equal chance to get their answer in first. This contest, we claim has been one of the moat successful and popular ever held in Rome, and every parent naturally f»els an in terest in seeing hi* child win the prize. inaugurated tki«'contest matter of course to bring the pA per before the people and increase the circulation. In this, our high est expectations have been realized, and the increased popularity of the Hustler of Rome has been ex tremely gratifying. Your answers are to be pasted on the blanks that appear this af ternoon. There is a space for each word, and when you think you have solved the puzzle, paste the words in the order that they should come and as the spaces are marked. And to make it absolutely certain write the sentence out in the lines prepared for that purpose. To show that the Hustler of Rome has been perfectly impartial and fair in the contest it will be well to state that the sentence is Known now to only two men. Mr Shumaker, of Atlanta, built rhe sentence, and then it was car ried to a notary Public, and the nvelop sealed with ati affidavit to rhe effect that only those two knew the contents of the sealed package. This was sunt to Rome and placed in charge of Prof. J. C. Harris, the well-known superinten dent of the public schools. He hag allowed no one to see the envelope containing the sentence, and has no more idea than you what it is, Your answer then should be placed in an envelope, but don’t seal it. Carry this to the Britan nica Reading Rooms, 309 Broad Street, where a committee es three representative citizens of Rome will hold the contest. We repeat that the result of this contest has befen highly gratifying to the management, and we hope and believe it has proven so to the patrons of the paper. Who will win the prize?

Tlwy will make extensive im provements in the road beds of the old “Reliable Riverside Route” by putting in new ties and heavy steel rails. A new fast service through to Atlanta will be placed on which will prove a great ac commodation. President J. W. Thompson, of the N. C. & St. L. has assured Mr. W. W. Brooks, who was president of the Rome Railroad, that work would commence at once on a splendid new passenger depot. It will front on First avenue, and will probably extend from the present depot to Broad street, But that isn’t the best of it, a large and handsome car shed will be erected, that will take in all the tracks running into th* depot. A new freight depot will be erected on the site now occupied by the old Noble’s Foundry Build ing, which is crumbling int* ruin. This news will be the keyneta to a new lease of prosperity in Rome. When all of this work i* done, and it is settled beyond per adventure that it will be so, it will e nhance the value of real estate all over the city, and render a more city like appearance to that part of Rome, which is at present a net work of old and dilapidated build ings We continue to grow I • Little Ruth Hancock.
