"QUEEN OF THE WIREGRASS."
HawkinsvilIe Has Competitive BOat
Lines, Three Railroads, Electric
Lights and Telephones.

Hawkinsville, Ga, April 13-Hawkins-
ville's competitive boat lines make things
hum in river traffic, there being four
boats loading ana unloading here yester-
day. Both roads have side tracks run
ming down the river fronts already, and
the Hawkinsville and Florida Southern's
main line will run within one hundred
yards of the wharfs.
The finishing touches are being put this
week on the new cotton mill which is
erected on a high river bluff, and in a
few weeks the music of the spindle and
loom will be heard.
The grading on the Hawkinsville and
Florida Southern has already reached the
city limits, and with the exception of a
few trestles yet to be built, and the iron
for about twelve miles, very little more
work is to be done before trains on the
new road will enter here connecting this,
the Queen City of the Wiregrass." with
the Georgia Southern, Seaboard Air Line
and Waycross Air Line, with her third
railroad, and river navigable all the
year round, Hawkinsville commands the
very best freight rates, and her whole
salers and jobbers will enter new terri
tory.
The proprietors of the Hawkinsville tel
ephone system, one of the best local sys-
TENS in the state, are putting in new
poles on their entire line. This had to
be done in order to give better locations
for the new electric light system now
being put up in Hewkinsville.
The ice factory, operated by the Hawk
insville Electric Light and Ice Company,
will soon be supplying our people with
artesian ice. They expect to begin bust
ness in couple of weeks.
Ground has been bought just across the
river for another barrel factory.
The Bell Telephone people are making
arrangements to connect Hawkinsyille
and Macon with long-distance phone.
Many new deals in real estate have
taken place in Hawkinsville recently One
of these cortemplates a new hotel, an
other a large wholesale house, and the
third track warehouse The wholesale

to-day of Capt. Ripley for alleged com
plicity in the Goebel shooting W. p. Rec
der, ex-county clerk of Knox county, tes-
titled that he talked with Caleb Powers
and Charles Finley frequently in regard
to the crowd they were alleged to be get
ting up to go to Frankfort, Jan. 25. Wit
ness asked Finley if there was going to
be fight in Frankfort. Finley replied,
according to Reeder, that he thought so,

were killed in the next five days
Wharton Golden repeated his testimony
in former trials and the prosecution
rested.
motion for peremptory instructions
for acquittal was overruied and Attorney
O'Neal made the opening statement for
the defense, He said the defendant did
not even know Caleb Powers, Finley and
Youtsey. He barely knew Taylor and
had only met him on two occasions prior
to the assassination, and that the proof
showed no link to connect him with the
conspiracy.
In explanation of the testimony of ex-
Gov. Bradley anG Judge Yost, ONeal said
there was great excitement in Frankfort
Jan. 20, and when Ripley went into Tay-
lor's office found the latter nervous
and wiring hands. He asked what
was the mas. and Taylor said:
ION, my God, Ripley, these are terri
BILE times. Goebel will be killed. 1 will
be killed and there will be a riot here
Ripley told him that he thought these
things could be avoided and inquired
when he should get his company ready.
To this Taylor said:
my God, haven't you got them ready
yet?'
O'Neal said both Gov. Bradley and
Judge Yost were mistaken as TO the point
Ripley was endeavoring to make when
he told of the conversation with Taylor

9 WIRES
OF Postal Company
We're Cut on North Hill Last
Night.

The Postal Telegraph Co., discover
ed this morning, after Il delay of two
hours, tnat two of its wires were down
on North Hill. AS a result of an in
vcstigation those iii charge of the local
Office are convinced that the wires
were cut.
They point to the fact that there was
no storm last night to damage the
wires, and they were operating all
right Saturday. This leads to the be-
lief that the wires were cut either
through malice OF mischief.
The Postal has been unable to obtain
direct communication with Cleveland
today, but the wires are working east
all right.

DECISION
Reached In Reference to Rates,.Via
Akron Route.

ID. II. Martin, manager of passenger
traffic OF the Baltimore Il Ohio rail
road, to whom was submitted az arbl-
trator the question of differential fares
to Buffalo via the Akron route of the
Pennsylvania in connection with the
Erie, has rendered the following de
cision:
"That effective May ., the following
selling and basing fares win apply for
the Cleveland, Akron ~ Columbus and
the Erie lines In connection with the
Vandalia and Pennsylvania railways
from st, Louis to Buffalo via the Van
dalla, the pittsburg, Cincinnati, Chi
cago Il st. Louis and Cleveland, Akron
& Columbus and the Erie lines via
Akron: First class, $lS,25; second
class $1,000; from Cincinnati TO Buff
alo via T., c. G. X st. l., and c.. A. &
G., and Erie lines via Akron: First
class SLIPS; from Columbus TO Buffalo
via c., A. & O, and Ene railroad via
Akron, $3.50"
This decision allows no dilrerentia
fares to the Pennsylvania from st
Louis or Indianapolis to Buffalo anC
from Cincinnati the fares of the Akron
route are the same as the fare by tn
Big Four on trains Nos. 1G and 2S.
From Columbus, the Akron route
allowed a differential of thirty cent
OH account of the line being 81 mile
longer than the Big -Four.
