BOLD HIGHWAY ROBBERS.
Attempt to Stop a Driving Party on
the ThuoderboIt Road.

Attempt to Stop q Driving Party on
the ThuoderboIt Road.
A bold attempt at highway robbery was
made late Sunday night between tGe city
and Thunderbolt Mr. aud Mrs. Charles E.
Stults and Mr.. and Mrs. Charles B. Steele
were driving on the Thunderbolt back road
with double team about 10 o'clock, and
when within a short mile of Tnunderb0lt,
two negroes, who were concealed 10 a cluInp
Of bushes by the roadside, jumped out and
made grab for the brides cf the horses,
but the animals being spirited, the men
missed their hold, and the frightened horses
increased their gait, sweeping the vehicle
past the highwaymen, VINO then tried TO
grasp the wheels but failed, although they
ran rapidly after IL, and their yell of rage
and disappointment terrOriZed the ladies of
the party.
There is considerable complaint that
IhunderbOlt has no active officer, and had
there been one posse might have been or
gained and the robbers hunted down.
Such outlaws as halted Mr.. Suits and TAM
lly demand attention. There is a great
deal OF night travel between Savannah and
the suburban resorts, and the footpads will
nave to be suppressed before travel will be
safe.

THE SOUTH BOUND BOOMING.
Nearly $4,000 of the Stock Taken
The Americus Deal.

Alderman Herman Myers, Col. Mike
Brown and Mr.. Joseph Hull were very
much elated yesterday afternoon over the
success met with in the canvass for sub
scriptions to the capital stock Of the South
Bound road
Up to O'clock yesterday afternoon S47,-
600 mad been raised, and some 81, 900 or
$1,000 more was in sight Col. Brown and Mr..
Hull have been cauvassing the city since
last Thursday, and it is understood that the
canvass will be finished this week. Col
Brown will probably return to Barnwell to-
day.
Mr.. Hull said yesterday that he was much
more encouraged with the outlook than he
was at any time when he was canvaSsing
for the Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry road, and he thinks that the South
Bound is just the road Savannah wants,
and one that will open out new and
valuable field to its trade, besides giving
shorter connections with The north.
The railroad agitation has virtually given
Savannah two additional railroads, as the
active canvass for the Americas road stirred
mp the Central to build its Savannah and
Western.
There has been a deep-seated impression
that Savannah was asked for a donation by
the Savannah and Americas people and an
interest klndled in the enterprise here to
bring the Central to terms, and the studied
silence and evasive answers Of Col Hawk
ms to all questions in reg ard to the Ameri-
Gus enterprise gave color to the rumorS that
there had been deal with the Central
whereby the latter got portion of the line
of the Savannah, Americas and Montgom-
cry east of McRae. The South Bound
people never doubted their ability to raise
the amount required to be raised at Savan-
nah, and 1t has now reached that point, the
projectors say, where the success of the
enterprise Is assured.
President Myers informed a MORNING
NEWS reporter yesterday that Mr.. j. G.
Clarke is now within five miles of Savan-
nah, coming southwark, soliciting rights of
way, all Of which have beeG obtained from
Sisters Ferry 10 within five miles Of this
city, and it is expected that within month
or two active work will begin on the line.
The bill amendatory of the charter of tho
South Bound, which has passed the House
without opposition, President Myers says
Will be taken up in the Senate this week.
