The differe ces that have existed for
| month or more between the municipal au-
| thorities of Americas and the Savannah,
| Anerlcus and Montgomery Railroad Com
pany reached a climax Wed esday in the
issuance by President Hawkins OF an eight
page circular giving a complete review Of
| the case. In order to facilitate business the
railroad company asked permission to lay
additional sidetracks across JAG son street
under their charter and a resolution of the
council granted years ago granting tn m
| that right The city authorities fatty
refused to grant the request of the
road and, in addition thereto, the
| latter was enjoiled from proceed
/ -.
| the Injunction was not sustained by
the courts The city authorities declare, as
an excuse for their action in the case, that
| President Hawkins has failed 10 comply
! with certain promises made by him relative
| to building a sewer, and have refused to
allow his road to haul any freight for the
city council until said promises are COM
piled with. Tn is the case, as the public
| understand it, but it is believed that other
reasons exist on the part of the city than
those assigned. Col. Hawkins declares in
his circular that unless more trackage can
be had, that the roads machine shops will
have to be carried elsewhere, and the run
ming of trains changed to the detriment of
| Americas.
The circumstances attending the death of
| W. j. David, the late agent of the Colum-
bus alliance warehouse, were sad. Mr..
| David took charge Of the warehouse at the
-
man, though over 60 Up TO the time OF
his assuming the duties OF agent he was
always accustomed TO the farm and knew
very little of warehouse business. But he
was an ardent alliance man and he was
prepared TO do anything to forward the
interests of his brother alliance men as far
as he knew them. From the first his heart
and soul were bent on defeating the jute
trust. This was one OF the principal
reasons that induced him TO take hold
: of the. agency lines. In season and out of
season all through the summer he was adj
dressing meetings all through his territory
aud Impressed upon them the great impor-
tanee Of the farmers using cotton bagg ng
Pledges we're given aud taken, and for
awhile all things went on smoothly. How.
ever, when it ca ne TO the scratch, auC
when the fight was really on, jute bagging
appeared on all sides among the alliance
men. Since the cotton season opened jute':
gaunt appearance to Agent David was much
more frequent than his favorite cotton
Resolutions Of expulsion were passed at tht
last allia &c meeti G which Agent Davic
l attended, against all alliance mon using jut,
agging. But these resolutions had nc
$ effect. These facts, together with tn,
5 onerous duties of his office. are believed t.
have FASTENED Mr.. Dayid's death TIL,
J last words he pronounced on earth were
, cotton bagging."
