Two years later Governor Mathews OF
Indiana stripped for action and put an
end to the Columbian Athletic club,
which had been doing business at Roby,

fights ard a number OF limited round
bouts and had arranged to bring to

when Mathews concluded to stop II. and
he did. even though he was compelled TO
surround the arena with militia and gat-

some of giving the Governor battle, but
better counsel prevailed and they tossed
up the sponge.

SUCH AGREEMENT IS REACHED
At Meeting Of Druggists, who in future
Will Shut their Stores Tight Sun

When the seven drugstores of Ameri-
Gus close their doors tonight they will
remain closed until Monday morning.
There will be no more Sunday selling,

exacting grand juror.
No more will any of them be indicted
for Sunday selling.
Their doors will be Theoretically seal
ed Sunday while the druggists remain
in the seclusion of their homes, free
from the temptation of swapping a pill
for a paltry dime.
While several of the druggists escaped
Indictment this week, others of their
mum Der were not so fortunate and
will have to face a court trial for
serving patrons on the Sabbath. All
druggists in the city, with one excep-
ton, were thus investigated.
But there will be no grounds for
future investigations at the hand of a
grand jury; not if the druggists know
themselves.
Yesterday a meeting of the pro-
prietors of the seven drugstores was
held at The Windsor, and an agree
ment reached whereby they will shut
up tight on Sunday-not only tomor-
row, but all Sundays. Formal notice
to this effect is published elsewhere.
In any case of emergency a druggist
would open his store to sell medicine
or fill scription-provided he can
be found. But he is not hunting Sun
day business or grand jury roasting,
and may even decide to take trip out
of town.
1t seems that the grand jury wants
''the lid on tight-in town-and the
druggists will thus assist them in
affixing the cover.

Friday.
SURVEYING LINE TO ALBANY
Macon. Americas S Albany Electric
Railway an Assured Fact-Surves-
ing Corps ia Now En- Route from
Macon to Americus

Starting from Macon yesterday morn
the route of the proposed electric rail
way from that city to Albany is now
upon the way here, and should reach
Americas by the latter part of next
week, if weather continues good.
And thus another very important step
is taken in pushing forward that new
est enterprise.
Furthermore, the promise is made
that the electric railway will be in OPP
Grafton within a year, with cars run
ming via Americas from Albany to Ma
con and Atlanta.
The Interurban Construction Co.,
and the Macon q Albany Securities
Co., duly organized and chartered,
have entered into an agreement where
by the construction company will do
| all the hydraulic and electrical engine
ering to be required.
This company will likewise secure
the electrical equipment and installa-
ton for the proposed line, Macon to
Albany. w. J. Massee of Macon heads
the construction concern while n. j.
Cruger of Albany is at the head of the
Securities Co.
All, therefore, is in readiness for the
construction of the line.
The engineering corps started yester-
day under Engineer j. ]. GailIaird, to
survey the Macon and Albany line.
Cars will be in operation in eight
months, and officials say that the lines
will be in operation from Atlanta to
Albany next year.
And thus Americas will soon have
electric cars dashing by her doors, and
probably through her streets at the
same time.
