Lawrence Makes Another Move.

Our enterprising and original friend,
James Lawrence McChan, has made
another move. He has secured a po-
sition as fireman on freight engine on
the Western Maryland Railroad, and
left yesterday with his family and
goods for Hagerstown, where he will
make his home. 1t is ambition that
impels Lawrence to this change. He
has been farming all summer, and
though not averse to the joys Of rural
life, he realizes that the chances Of
promotion on farm are triae slow,
and even when one has risen from the
position of mixer of kicking cows and
feeder of unruly calves to that of q
proud owner of several head Of cattle,
there's little in it. The compensations
of agriculture are not commensurate
with the toll and the early rising at
tached to the life. Therefore, Law
renee will go a-railroading. He has
been confdentially informed that the
president of the W. NJ. is getting old,
and when the time comes for him to
retire it is just as well to be on the
spot and ready to step into his shoes.
Lawrence says that nearly all Of the
big men ofthe country have risen from
humble positions, and he sees no reason
why the name Of James Lawrence Nc
Chan may not rank with those of j.
Pierpont Morgan, A. j. Cassatt and
similar celebrities. We hope that all
his aspirations may be realized, and
when be shall return in his private car,
wearing high hat and with valet
at his elbow, we will have the band to
meet him at the station and burn red
fire all over the town.

Negro Girl Killed by Swallowing N
Collar Button

Statesboro, Ga, Sept. ga negro
girl named Jackson, suffered a fatal
accident here yesterday afternoon
about 5 o'clock. She had a rather
large collar button in her mouth while
playing, and in running across the
yard she fell down, sucked the button
into her windpipe and died before re-
lief could be secured.
A good crowd of citizens went to
savannah to-day via the Savannah
and Statesboro Railway, taking ad-
vintage of the last excursion of the
season.
The firm of DeLoach Brothers which
owns turpentine business near Hor-
vile, has made application through
Col. H. B. Stronge to be discharged in
bankruptcy. The necessary paper
will be fined Saturday in Referee
A. H. MacDonell's Office by their at
torneys. The firm takes the step vol
unfairly in order to be able to accu-
mulate enough property afterwards to
pay up its debts which amount to
about $4,000.
Mr.. ]. l.. Matthews and his young
bride, who was Miss Mabelle Olliff, are
expected home from their bridal tour
to North Carolina. Mr.. Matthews is
the agent of the Central at this point
and was formerly superintendent of
the Dover and Statesboro Railroad.

ATLANTA'S RAILWAY DEAL.
CITIZENS AROUSED AT PROsPEC-
TIVE LOSS OF COMPETITION.

IL. VI. blackburn starts "A Movement
TO Postpone the Municipal Pri-
mary, because of the Reported
DenI-Thc Move Heartily Endorsed.
Politicians Are Greatly Worried
and the Candidates Who Have
Been Shouting for Competition
Are Very Much at Sen.
Atlanta, Sept. ga sensation was
sprung tonight in Atlanta's red hot
municipal campaign, which may re-
suit in the postponement of the date
of the day of the primary.
Mayor Livingston Minis spoke to
large concourse of citizens at the
Grand Opera House at o'clock this
evening, incidentally explaining his
position on street railway franchises,
on which he has been severely criti-
cized In the midst of the meeting b.
M. Blackburn, lawyer, arose ana m
troduced resolutions calling on the
chairman of the City Executive Com
mittee to postpone the date Oh the cry
primary in view of the contemplated
consolidation of the two rival street
railways of Atlanta.
The meeting was a large one ana
when Blackburn arose, he was missed
from every part of the house. NO
sooner than the crowd noted the tone
of the resolutions than it broke into
cheers, the feeling changing instantly.
The resolutions were adopted with
only few dissenting votes in the back
of the hall, and the meeting came
summary to an end. An effort to
find Chairman w. T. Meyers of the
Executive Committee, tonight proved
unavailing, and Atlanta is waiting
with no little interest to hear his de-
cision.
The demonstration tonight is the
outgrowth of the street railway deal
in which the bondholders of the rail-
way and Power Company surrender
their property to the Eastern syndi-
cate controlling the Rapid
Transit Company. The lawyers
of the Rapid Transit Company, in
a signed statement given out this aft
ernoon, deny again that there has
been a consolidation of the street rail-
ways of the city, but they admit that
a deal is on foot, but of what nature
they refuse to state.
A meeting of the City Executive
Committee will probably be called by
the chairman to-day or tomorrow for
the purpose of considering these reso-
lutions In the meantime the people of
Atlanta, screwed up to a pitch seldom
ever reached before by the present sit
uation, are prepared to go to the polls
on Thursday to vote for the men for
Council who in their opinion
will deal honestly with the city's in
terest. The registration books to-day
show 1914 names, which is larger reg
istration by 700 than any ever recorded
in an off year in city politics. The can
ha fot
petition and pledging themselves to Sc
cure competition for the city, are in a
dilemma, as the pending street railway
deal will force monopoly on the city
and make competition impossible.
They say they are for competition,
which makes the situation still more
ludricous.

REPAIRING THE DAMAGE.

Dublin, Ca. Sept. 23.-Traffic has been
resumed over the Macon, Dublin and

Tennille Roads. The Central Railroad
bridge gang is now at work clearing
away the Turkey creek wreck 1t
is believed that this work will be fin
ished in a day or two and work on a
new bridge across the creek will be
commenced.
1t is said that one of the foremen
of the Central's crew stated when he
saw the wreck that it was the worst
he had ever seen. George Layton, the
fireman who went down with the en-
CINE, is still critically ill., If he dies
he will be the first employee ever kill
ed on the Wrightsville and Tennille
road during the eighteen years it has
been in operation. During that same
period not a passenger has been killed.
The County Commissioners have
found, by comparing notes, that nine
bridges across Turkey creek have
either been entirely destroyed or are
badly damaged. Also all of the
bridges across Rock creek, five or six
in number.
