It seems to be the prevailing opinion in Washington that the fate of the omnibus statehood bill will be deter mined this week. The outlook is not discouraging, by any means. Senator win, and he is seldom mistaken as to the outcome of his own enterprises.

Americas is interested just now in
the proposed route of the Brunswick
u Birmingham Railway in the extern
sion. of that line westward, and while
Americus has made no proposition
looking to getting theroad other towns
in this section are working like beav-
ers to that much desired end.
But the ones thus favored will have
to pay good price.
A committee consisting of President
Armstead, Vice-P President McLaurin
and Secretary Craig have been in this
section quite recently in the interest
of the B. & B, rosd.
These gentlemen went to Columbus
to confer with citizens there relative
to bringing the road that way. The
proposed route, it is said, was via
Smithville, the line traverslng the
lower edge of Sumter or north edge of
Lee county, but leaving Americas out
of the deal by dozen miles.
The route suited Columbus, but
when the price was named the town
bucked bit.
The committee also met delegations
from Dawson, Cuthbert and Eufauls,
but, according to reports, the stipula-
ton was considered Just a trifie too
steep.
For the privilege of bringing the
B, & B. through Dawson, Cuthbert
and Eufaula, these three towns were
asked to underwrite 5000, 900 of the
company's bonds; also that the three
towns, in addition to the bond SUBJ
scriptlon, give 5000, 900 as a donation
to hear the whistle blow.R
This is substantially the same propo-
sition made Columbus, it is said. The
price was deemed too high, even for q
new railroad, and some other route
will be selected, or the price cut.

Due notice is hereby served on the
public generally that DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve is the only salve on the
market that is made from the pure,
unadulterated witch hazel. DeWitt's
Witch Hazel Salve has cured thousands
of cases of piles that would not yield to
any other treatment, and this fact has
brought out many worthless counter
feits. Those persons who get the genu-
inc DeWitt's Witch Hazel salve are
never disappointed, because it cures.

ably.
It is not improbable that q fine
swimming pool may be constructed in
connection with the new ice factory to
be erected near the Central Railway
passenger depot, of which mention has
been made in the Times Recorder ex-
clusively. AS is we'll known, thous-
ands of gallons of pure and clean water
escape daily in connection with an ice
plant, being used only in cooling the
steam pipes. The water becomes heat
ed in this process and goes to waste. If
a first class natatorium is desired it
could be built without great cost and
hot baths supplied day and night. The
idea has been suggested to Manager
r. d. Ansley of the new ice company,
and he may consider it favorabIy.
