General Manager Underwood to the Erie
Road and will have a place much more to
his liking on that road. A Pennsylvania
man stated today that while it is possible
that the Pennsylvania will have some in

very little likelihood that the Pennsyl-

attempt to assume direct control of the

Yet the only disparagements that have been heard

naturally against the man who has independent

the members and lobbyists of the Ameri-
can Panama Canal syndicate NJ. Hutin

action is taken to mean that 1t does not
believe the syndicate has power to carry
out its gorgeous programme in Washing

While We do not repose much conf
dence in Chinese sensational stories en-
-anating from Shanghai, one which came
to hand yesterday is. to say the least. in
teresting 1t is that the Yangtse Vice
roys and the Governor of Shantung have
offered to send one hundred thousand
Chinese troops to Singan-fu TO rescue the
Emperor from the clutches OF the En-
press Dowager and conduct him safely
to Pekin. The only remark We care to
make In the present state OF our knowl-
edge on the subject is that If the Vice
roys and Governor are to be permitted to
undertake such a noble adventure the
best thing they could do would be to Dor
row Brig. Gen. Frederick Funston from
the United States Government to conduct
it. 1t would be in his regular line of bust
ness.

THE MEETING WELL ATTENDED
Representative Citizens are Interested
Motion Mill.


That Americas really wants cotton
factory and is willing to invest her
dollars in such an enterprise was evil
denced yesterday in the size and per-
sonel of the citizens meeting called by
Mayor Fielder to discuss the building
of one here.
Many of the prominent monied men
OF the community were there.
The plan upon which company al
Manchester, Va. proposes to sell its
plant to Americus has already been
set forth in the Times-Recorder. And
it was this plan that was discussed
yesterday.
The owners of the mill offer 1t for
$4,000, half cash and half in stock OF
the new company to be organized here
in the event of sale, This plan was
outlined at length by Mr.. Bailey Fow-
Ter, representing the owners of the
cotton mill plant.
1t was estimated that Americas
could put this mill in operation here
at cash outlay of about $51, 200 aside
from the 1874, 600 of stock to be retain
ed by the present owner. This covers
the cost of erecting plant, as well as
working capital.
After some discussion Chairman
U. B. Harold appointed a committee
of six citizens to canvass for subscrip-
tions and ascertain what can be done
towards building factory here.
The business men of Americus and
citizens generally are thoroughly
aroused to the importance-nay the
necessity of fostering our manufac-
turing interests, and they will take adj
vantage of this offer or some other to
that end.
The committee of six will make re-
port to meeting of citizens at the
city hall at 10 o'clock this morning.
Every citizen of Americus should at.
