Taxing the Railroads TO Move the
Accommodating Freights.

Taxing the Railroads TO Move the
Accommodating Freights-
Americas appears TO be making gigantic
strides in progress. Since the building Of
the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery
road the town has grown wonderfully in
population and its trade is on the increase.
The recent growth of the trade of Ameri-
Gus has been so great that IL has surpassed
it's freight facilities, and the town has been
suffering from freight blockade for the
last ten days or more. A great deal more
cotton comes to Americas since the building
of the Savannah, Americus and Montgom-
cry road than formerly, and the freight
traffic at that point has increased i'm
mensely. The Central railroads facilities
at that point have become inadequate to the
demand upon them, and the consequence is
that the freight blockade has reached to Sc
rious proportions.
Supt. W. w. Starr has been at Americas
for several days endeavoring to clear the
yards and put things in such condition that
the transfer Of freight will be facilitated.
A force of freight clerks have been sent up
from this city.
General Manager Gabbett informed
MORNING News reporter yesterday that
work will soon begin upon new depot at
Americus. More sidetracks will be built
and the yards will be enlarged. The present
depot, which has been used for both freight
and passengers will be used entirely as a
freight depot after the new building has
been erected.
1t is said that Amerlcus has received
about 65, 900 bales of cotton thus far

than the supply and orders have been sent
to the superintendents and agents of the

she summoned her husband to her bedside,

forgiveness for her cruel desertion of him.
Last night both the husband and the
woman's betrayer engaged undertakers to
prepare the remains for interment,

the womans lover, that each party invoked
the aid of constables. aud at midnight this
morning the undertaken summoned by the
husband was at the door and the under
taker engaged by the other man was in the
house preparing the body for burial. The
