Be Let To-day.
Gen. Alexander, president of the Central
railroad. authorized the statement yester-
day that the Eden and Americas extension
has been located as far west as the Ohoopee
river, distance Of sixty miles, and the
contract win probably be let to-day. and it
is expected 70 have the road ready for oper-
alton by Nov. L The rails, 6S5< pound
steel, were ordered yesterday. and contracts
for the ties, Gen. Alexander says, viii be
closed at once. I'VE want to get the road
in operation as soon as possible, " he said, ''to
open out the heavy lumber trade of that
section, which is the richest timber belt in
the country
Does the company own the timber
landsf' he was asked.
Nothing but the right Of way he re-
piled. "The CentraIs policy is to develop
the country and not to speculate in lands.

transports the products of the territory
through which its lines rum

"What is the proposed line of the Savan-
nah Florida and Western westardgn
ut has been located only as far as the
Ohoope river. l haven't the profile here,
and cannot say whether it strikes at or near
Ohoopee. 1t touches Maiden branch, and
will run to or near Mount Vernon westward
TO Eastman. There are two surveying corps
locating the road from the Ohoopee river
to Americas; one corps working eastward
from Eastman to the Ohoopee, and the
other westward from Eastman in the direc-
ton of Americas
when do you expect to let the contract
for the rest of the roadgr
well, l do not like to say will do any
thing until am ready TO do 1t, but it is the
intention to put the road under contract as
soon as possible after the entire line has
been located. When it will be completed
do not want to say with certainty.
BRIDGES THE ONLY DELAY.
Bridge construction is always slow, as
was shown by the bridge over the Chatta-
hoochee, which we have just completed, so
we can now run into Columbia. We will
not have so much trouble and delay with
the bridge work on the Eden and Americas
extension, although the trestle work over
the Ogeechee at Eden has been slow. There
are about 1000 feet of trestle work yet to
construct, but / think this will not re-
quire more than six weeks
Gen. Alexander was asked if ANYTHING
important was done by the Central direct
ory, which met yesterday, and he replied
that 1T was merely the routine monthly
meeting, which, in the regular order,
should have been held next week, being the
regular time in July, but as some of the
directors desired to be out of the city next
week, by mutual consent the meeting was
held yesterday. Pat Calhoun, ESQ.,, was
the only out of town director present, and
ne returned to Atlanta last night.

RELIGION by Telephone.

A very interesting telephone experiment
has been tried in Tunbridge Wells. The Rev.
Cowper Smith and his deacons have allowed
the local telephone company to place their
their transnitters in the Mount Pleasant
Congregational church, with the result that
persons in various distant parts of the town
were enabled to hear and enjoy all parts OF
the Sunday services. Doctors with their
patients, chemists assistants in their shops,
an invalid Lady confined to her room, and
others used the instruments, and heard dis
tinctly the singing, reading, preaching, pray
ers and all the sounds of the moving congre-
CATION The transnitters have been placed
in several different positions in order to find
out which was the best for the purpose in
view. It has been decided that one set Of
transmitters shall be put on the book board
50 as TO catch the preachers voice and Others
elsewhere so as 70 catch the singing.-New

Powerful Drugs.

A score of years ago drugs were given in
quite crude forms. The pills then used were
large enough to excite apprehension of suf-
location in patients obliged to take them.
Until quite recently all medicines have con-
tanned more or less extraneous matter, which
added bulk but not virtue to them. Gradually
the chemist eliminated such unnecessary mat
ter, until at last drugs were furnished physi-
clans in nearly, if not quite, pure form. But
he did not stop there He next applied him
self to extracting the active principles OF
medicinal agents. and now nearly all the
powerful remedies are used in what we might
term highly concentrated form. Aconite fur
nishes us with ready Illustration of this
great change. The powdered leaves were
once given in two grain doses, and the ex-
tract of the same in one-half grain doses.
At the present time we have aconitina, the
real virtue of aconite in highly concentrated
form, and the dose of that is from 1-4OOths to
1-200ths of grain. OF course, a pill of aconi-
tina containing a full dose might be made ex-
ceedingly minute and as a matter of fact it
is put up in very small gFenules. The infer
ence to be drawn is that, in taking medicine,
one must be exceedingly careful to follow the
physicians directions ito the letter" Be
cause the pills are small, one must not assume
that they can be taken recklessly. A man not
long ago deceived himself in that way with
most disastrous results. His physician or
dered some ten granules, scarcely larger than
pin heads, which contained very powerful
drug. He was cautioned to take Oh. one,
three times a day; but, thinking to expedite
matters, he took all of them at one dose and

A Battle Between Trout.

At the foot Of the Brush mountain, near
Bellwood, in the famous Logan spring of
David Hershey, while performing their
rounds of Sunday work, Mrs. John Hershey
and several others of the family were eye
witnesses of a fight which may sound like a
fish story; nevertheless it is true.
At the head of this large fountain they no
ticed an unusual disturbance in the water.
Going nearer they observed a number of
beautiful trout swimming to and fro, making
a great connection. While getting a good
view of the encounter all except two dis
persed, which were about one foot in length,
and whose spotted sides gliStened in the pure,
clear water.
In an instant the larger but less active one
bounced upon the smaller, seizing it by the
back and clinging tc it like bloodhound.
The next moment the smaller one, whisk1ng
and twirling itself almost out of the water,
secured its freedom, when in turn it grappled
the large one. Biting each other in the side,
head, back and tail, the fight continued for
twenty minutes, causing the blood to flow
freely from their wounds, so as to darken the
water.
Mrs. Hershey, seeing that death would be
the result, ran for hay rake and, securing
one. she parted them. But to her great sur
prise they rushed together again. Another
heavy blow from the rake, striking both
seemingly dead, ended the fght.-Somerset

Uncle Peter went to see ball game last
Saturday. 1t was his first view of such a
contest in ten years, and he looked somewhat
machine like promptness, but he said nothing
until he was on board homeward bound
car. Then his nephew addressed him:
"What do you think of it, uncle!"
THAT was baseball game was itT'
'Of course it was. Why do you ask that's"
"And they call that playingf'
Certainly"
'Nobody punched nobody else from one
end to the otherF'
mo indeed"
"And the umpire wasn't kicked off the
fields"
THAT is a rare diversion nowadays"
"And the whole eighteen men didn't huddle
together in a bunch and jaw every time a
man was called outT'
oh no."
"And nobody didn't steal the best bats and
make off with the spare ball?'
THAT is impossible under the present ar
rangement."
"And the whole thing didn't wind up in a
free fight?"
'You saw that it didn't"
Il know that l saw 1t didn't, and I also
know game of real baseball when I see it,

paid 81 to look at is no more like the real
games they used to play than an amateur

The Popular Idea That 1t Was Derived
from Amerigo vespucci Disputed.

The Popular Idea That 1t Yves Derived
from Amerigo vespucci Disputed.
The bulletin of the Paris Geographical So
cietv- which has Just been issued, contains an
account by M. Jules Maroon of certain fur
tber researches which be has made into the
origin of the name america" AS far back
as is75 he published paper on the same
tonic. which attracted much attention at the
time. and he has since devoted much labor to
an investigation of early historical docu-
ments in which the New World is named.
The popular notion that America was so
called from the Christian name OF Amerlgo
Vespucci is, he says wholly unfounded, and
he sums up his conclusions in this way: l.
An,erique is the Indian name of the noun
tains between Juigalpa and Libertad In the
Province of Chontales, which separate Lake
Nicaragua from the Mosquito coast. The
word in the Maya language signifies 1.-The
windy country" or 1.-The country where the
wind blows always 2 The Christian name
of Veszucci was Alberico in Italian and Span
ish. Albericus IN Latin. This particular
name Is subject to an enormous number OF
variations as the nomenclature and calen-
dars of Italian and Spanish saints OF the
period show; but nowhere is there any such
variation of Americas, Amerrlgo, Amer1go,
Almerigo ETC., and none of these Is either a
di,ninutiye Of a variation in use in Italy,
Spain or France, for Alberico or Albert. a.
Before 1907, when Jean Basin of Saint Die
published the name, it is not to be found IN
any printed document, nor even in any man
uscript of recognized and mcontestable au-
thority.
NJ. Maroon claims that his theory of
native origin for the name America has been
accented IN Spain, Spanish America, AID,
with some exceptions, in the United States;
in France, Germany and Italy it has excited
doubt and surprise, but in the last named he
has the support of the eminent Turin geogra-
pher. NJ. Guido Core There is no doubt that
Columbus and Vespucci went along the Mos
quito coast at the feet of the Sierra Amer
rioue, and that the name was reported by
the officers and men of these expeditions, and
Schooner, the geographer, declared In 1915
that the name was already popular in Eu-
rope.
1t is beyond question that one edition Of
Vespuccis letter on his third voyage has the
name Amerigo in the place of the Christian
name Nineteen editions had Albericus, and
subsequent Italian editions had Alberico. The
one with Amerigo on the title page was pub
lshed in 1906, but NJ. Maroon suggests that
this was never intended to be variation OF
Alberico, but rather an adaptation OF Amer
riaue, a name already known and applied to
the New World, to Vespucci's name to distin-
guish him, as we now say Chinese Gordon"
to distinguish the particular Gordon by sug-
costing one of his greatest feats.-London
