sANDERsvILLE's NEW ROAD.
Work on it is Being Pushed Forward
Rapidly.


'Sandersville, Ga, Aug. 22-Work is
now progressing on the connecting link
between the Augusta Southern and Sand
ersyille and Tennille railroads, and the
gap will soon be completed
a board of arbitration was chosen to
assess damages on j. n. Gilmore's prop
erty, through which the road runs, CON
sisting of Louis Cohen, William Park
and M. Fl. Bozer. They assessed it at
$3.50. Col. Gilmore was willing to ac-
cept this award rather than have litiga-
tiou, but the officials of the road thought
it was too high. A force of hands was
sent down from Augusta last Friday to
begin work, but Col. Gilmore had OBJ
tanned an injunction from Judge Gamble,
requiring the road to make compensa-
ton before proceeding with the work.
This injunction was subsequently dis
solved upon petition of President jackson
to Judge Gamble, who decided that the
road must pay the amount of the award
before proceeding, which has been done.
The case will be decided at the Septem-
Der term of Washington superior court,
Col. Gilmore having given bond to answer
any decree of the court at the final trial.
If the jury decides that the amount
already paid is not sufficient, the road
will have to pay whatever addi-
tiOnal sum may be agreed upon,
and if the amount paid is considered ex-
cessive Col. Gilmore will have to refund
to the road the amount in excess of the
jurys verdict. The case will thus rest
entirely upon its merits.
The road runs almost centrally through
this town. Many citizens preferred that
it should have gone on the outskirts,
and thus avoid the danger to citizens in
crossing the track.

URGING CONGRESS-.
The Memphis Board of Trade Asks for
Instant Repeal.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22.-The follow
ing resolutions were adopted to-day at a
meeting of the cotton exchange:
whereas, We believe the present string
ency in the money market is intensified by
the slow action of congress, now in session, in
dealing with the silver question, and that
owing to the dlstrust in money matters and
the trouble in negotiating exchange in pay
ment for cotton, it will greatly hamper and
delay the movement of the coming cotton
crop which is almost on US, and that if the
present uncertainty continues. the prices OF
our staple crop must inevitably depreciate it
is therefore,
the members of the cotton ex-
change that congress should, without
further delay Internationally repeal the
purchasing clause OF the act Of July IA, 1890,
known as the sherman law. We believe
that the repeal Of this law will renew conf
dence create better and more satisfactory
feeling in the minds Of the mercantile COM
lrunity. install life into financial affairs, and
hasten recovery when the law is finally re-
pealed.
Resolved, That these resolutions be for
warded to our senators and representatives
in congress.
