TRAIN MADE A TRIP
OF JUST 700 MILES,
In Trying to Get Into Macon Day or
Two Ago.
GENERAL WOOD A PASSENGER
But For Break in seaboard at Ameri-
Gus. the Distinguished Soldier Would
have Been a Visitor Here While
Trying to Continue Journey.

While Americas has been hard hit
from the standpoint of railway service
this week we were not entirely alone.
While the Seaboard and Central were
badly washed the Georgia Southern did
not escape, and a train on this line
made run of 700 miles in trying to
enter Macon, the roundabout trip con-
Stunning forty two hours. When it dis
covered the washout the train was
within thirty-five miles of Macon, and
there it waited until all hope of getting
by had been surrendered. Then orders
were given for it to take the Wrights-
vile and Tennille, below Cochran and
come around by Dublin. Experiment
proved that it was impossible to make
that trip. Then run was made down
to Helena, but it was found that Col
umbus could not be reached because of
washouts on the Seaboard Air Line
The train was then run down to Jesup
and then to Waycross, and brought
around by Montgomery, and up to At
lanta. In this way it reached Macon.
Among the passengers aboard this train
was Governor General Leonard A.
Wood, en- route from Cuba to Canton,
Ohio, to attend the Mckinley obse-
quies, and but for the washout on the
Seaboard here the distinguished soldier
would have come with the delayed train
via Americus, en- route to Macon and
| the north.

PRICE IS STILL up;
GREAT is The KING.
Looks Like Eight Cents Again at
Early Date.
A SLIGHT FEAR OF EARLY FROST
May Have Had Effect But at All
Events the Feeling in the Cotton
Market is Much Stronger. Receipts
Here Yesterday Were Light.

Light receipts, possible fear of an
early frost, or a combination Of the
two agencies has served to give decid-
ed strength to the cotton market.
Opening yesterday ct sharp advance,
the gain continued to the close when
September and January contracts were
together at 1856. This is getting near
the cent mark again, and the belief
obtains here that this price will be
reached pretty soon. Where Ameri-
Gus expected 500 or 600 bales yesterday
the receipts were much less than q
hundred. OF course this falling off is
attributed to the recent storm, which
delayed picking, and the wretched
condition of the country roads. Re
ceipts may be better today. Coco
cotton will bring 3-4 cents in Ameri
Gus, and seven eight" is again the
hope of many of our farmers and cot
ton men.

BALES DRIFTED DOWN STREAM
Cotton Lost In Freshet Tuesday Not
Recovered.

Stories continue to come in of the
great loss sustained in the recent flood
here, and when the chapter is COM
pleted the loss to Americas and Sum-
ter county, including personal losses,
will go near the 100000 mark, per-
haps.
From every section of Sumter comes
doleful news of the storm.
Bridges gone, roads washed, houses
undermined and submerged cotton
fields are only few of the incidents to
be weaVed into the story,
Near Americas cotton ginnery on
q creek bank collapsed. Several bales
of seed cotton fell into the torrent and
were swept away never to be recover
ed. One bale, gInned and packed,
foated off and was found afterwards.
1t is said that great loss to bailding
and machinery was sustained at the
Dawson Mills, recently newly equip
ped for making -four.
Mr.. E. G. Speer was building a
Touring mills north of Americas.
Great damage was sustained, amount
ing possibly to 81, 200 or 81, 800. It is
SAID that every mill dam in the county
was swept away by the flood.
Add to this the loss of open cotton
in the fields and the total will be rep
resented by SIX figures.

LARGE INCREASE AT SCHOOLS
Other Pupils Have Entered Since
Opening Day.

With yesterday closed the first week
of the new fall term in the AmerIcus
public schools, and the result is high
ly gratifying. Beginning with total
enrolment of nearly one thousand pu-
pills, the number has increased rapidly
this week and the thousand mark has
long since been passed. Supt. Mathis
believes that with the return of other
pupils TO the city, and the final abste-
ment of uueasiness from the recent fe
YER epidemic, that the schools will
have an enrolment of 1900 or 1900 pu-
pills within a month. This promises
to be one of the most prosperous ses-
sions since the establish ment of our
public school system.

MUSICAL FOOT OF THE TRAINS
Caused Joy In Americas When again
Heard.

The soft notes of the guitar in the
hands of fair senorita, or the dulcet
strains of an Aeollan harp, never
seemed more pleasing than did the
hoarse blast of an engine whistle on
the Central road last night. For days
the people in "shut up Americas had
heard not the rattle of the cars. Only
the gurgle of the muddy waters of
Muckalee had broken the stiffness
here since Tuesday, and the people
pinned for the snort of the engine and
the glad cry of the news butcher, which
seemed only a memory. We were
weary of floods, and wanted to hear
from Macon and Oglethorpe. Last
night both the Central trains rolled
into town for the first time since last
Tuesday. All breaks are repaired and
the tide of travel will now ebb and
flow as it did of yore.

STILL DETAINED IN AMERICUs,
Travellers For Distant Points Held
Here Still.

Not q few passengers of delayed
trains are making an enforced stay in
Americas as a result of the breaks IN
the railroads here. Several of these
hold through tickets to Mobile, New
Orleans and other distant points, but
as no trains have left the city since last
Tuesday, going in that direction, these
tourists are still tied up in Americas.
Two bridal couples have also been
here several days, the wreck of the
railroads interfering materially with
the bridal trips previously planned
though the lustre OF the honeymoon is
undimmed thereby.

Washington, Dec. 11.-At a meet.
ing held here today at the First Con-

of the Woman's International union,
resolutions were adopted indorsing the
amendment to the constitution m ChiD-
iting polygamy within the domains
of the United States, and urging the
passage of bill with that 1oiecl in
view by the present congress. The
preamble to the resolution expressed
the belief that polygamy az taught
by the Church of the Latter-day Stints
is still part of their belief and piac-
tice, that the laws OF Utah are in d.
equate to suppress It, and there is
no way by which this cffense can be
reached SO satisfactorily as through
the constitution of the United States.
