AMERICUS PASTOR
EXTENDED CALL.
Griffin Church Wants Rev. lie Roy G.

A FORMAL CALL SUNDAY LAST.
Action of Church Will Be Communi-
Gated to Mr.. Henderson Shortly.
Hardly Believed He Will Desire to
Leave His Church Here.

The First Presbyterian church OF
Griffin desires the services of Rev LIE
Roy G. Henderson, of Americus, as
pastor, and on Sunday extended to
that very able young minister formal
Invitation to its pastorate. This ac-
ton of the church will be communI-
Gated to Mr.. Henderson in day or
two and his reply is awaited with con.
siderable interest, not only among the
people of Griffin but those of Americus
as we'll, among whom Mr.. Henderson
has labored so long aud with such
marked success. Mr.. Henderson was
not in Americus yesterday, having
been called to Montgomery upon some
important church work, but he Will
make no announcement of his plans
until formally notified of the action of
the Griffin church. Mr., Henderson
has been pastor of the PRESBYTERIAN
church here for six or eight years, and
his ability as minister, his geniality
and personal magnetism has greatly
endeared him to all here. 1t is the
hope of everyone in Americus that Mr..
Henderson will not consider any pro-
position that would take him from this
city.

OTHER CITIES ARE MOVING ON.
In Building Factories and Enlarging
Old Ones.

While Americas sits supinely and
does nothing in the way of adding to
her manufacturing interests, other
towns about us are up and doing.
New plants are being erected and old
ones enlarged. This is particularly
true as regards cotton manufacturing.
For instance, the Willingham Cotton
Mills of Macon, Ga has increased It's
capital stock from $4,000 to .$150,O00
the additional funds to be expended
for the purchase of the 1000 addition
al spindles and 1870 looms reported re
Gently. Right below Americus the
Moultrie Cotton Mills is proceeding
with the construction of its additional
building, and expects to complete it by
February /. Orders have been placed
with the Lowell, Mass Machine
Shops for 100 looms, which will in
crease the total to $50. Another near
neighbor, Dublin, has big mill which
is now receiving the final shipments of
new machinery for it's plant. The
spindles will number 5000 and the
looms 100, for the production of fine
sheetings. The company is capital
lied at $1,000 The Times Recorder
could cite score more towns that are
building cotton mills or similar enter
prises. Will not Americas move in
this direction ere the new year grows
old?.

SEABOARD BRANCH
TOWARDS EUFAULA.
Citizens of Alabama Town Want Con-

NEW sHORTLINE IS PROPOSED.
Would Tap Mainline Near Lumpkin
and Thus Afford Eufaula Another
Citizens are Working For
B and B as Well.

Americas may sooE be put in closer
touch with Eufaula and southeast
Alabama by a shortline connecting
that city with the Seaboard Airline at
or near. Lumpkin. It is reported here
that the citizens of Eufaula are very
much in earnest about building this
connecting link, which will be only
twenty-seven miles in length and, ira
versing a perfectly level country,
could be constructed at minimum cost.
The new link would probably touch
the mainline near the river bridge,
thus obviating the necessity of build
ing across the Chattaht oche. Eu-
fauIa has her eyes still fixed upon the
Brunswick & Birmingham Railway,
and subscription of $50, 600 is all
ready for the new road should it go in
that direction.

he KICKED UPON THE COACH.
Passenger Wouldn't Give Up Ticket
and Is Put Off.

The Central's northbound tourist
train was held at Americas Sunday af
ternoon for very considerable time
until the railway authorities in Savan.
nah could decide an interesting case
having about it the dim halo of a dam
age suit. A passenger in the day
coach refused to give up his ticket to
the conductor upon the plea that it
called for frst class passage, whereas
the car in which he was riding was oc-
cupied by one or two negroes as well.
1t was the only car in the train, except
the Pullmans' and the kicking passen-
ger evidently didn't care to ride in
such luxury. The pleas of the conduc
tor were of no avail, and the railway
authorities were appealed to. The re-
ply, evidently, was emphatic, as after
a wait of twenty minutes the kicker
permitted the conductor to lead him
gently from the coach, He then
climbed into the forward sleeper and
continued his journey, possibly with
the grim satisfaction that he might sue
the railroad for damages If he has a
case.

COUNCIL AFTER POLICE BOARD.
Ordinance Divesting It of Power Is
introduced,

The clash between the city council
and police commission will now take
on renewed interest in view of an ordi.
nance introduced last night, amending
all sections of the code of ordinances
relative to the police commission.
The document read was a very vol
luminous and formidable one.
It simpl~ grasses IN every line Of the
code the 4ame of the police commits
sion, and conveys to council the power
hitherto exercised by that body.
In it the Office of police chief is abol-
ished, and the duties of that official
are assumed by the city marshal, who
is nader orders of the council instead
of the police commission. Other
changes are also made.
The amended ordinance was read by
sections and voted on accordingly.
1t will, no doubt, precipitate lively
fight between these two bodies ere the
question of Survival of the fittest'
is settled, as it is fight to the death.
And it will be long and very bitter
struggle.

Calls the F1remen From Their Com

At 2 o'clock yesterday morning,
when the mercury had reached the
lowest point in the tube and icicles
fringed everything not coupled to a
redhot stove, an alarm of fire called
the fremen from their warm beds and
sent them scurrying out to face wintrV
