A. B. { A. CALLED ON
Board of Trade Takes Up Matter of Extension to
Am0riCuS
IBYRONWLLE ROUTE BELIEVED TO Be BEST
Thought That Representatives of the New System Gan Be Got AmeicuS
Shortly

Steps are under way to interest the
officials of the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic railroad in. the construc-
tion of branch line to Americus.
The Times-Recorder directed atten-
tion on Tuesday to the fact that a
man high in the councils of that road
had stated that if the proper interest
was shown in Americus the officials
of the A. B. & A. would be ready to
consider the matter of an extension
to Americus.
At the meeting OF the Board of
Trade on Tuesday night the matter
was brought up for discussion Much
interest was manifested in the mat
ter b ythose who were present.
Naturally if Americas can by any
possibility get another railroad con-
nection, and especially one with a
great system such as the A. B. &
A promises to develop into, it is I'M
portaut that it should do so. No such
opportunity can be allowed to slip
by.
The general feeling of those pres
ent was that an extension from By
romville to Amerivus, passing through
a section of country that is deficient in
railroad facilities, for distance of
twenty-five miles, would prove a fine
feeder to the main line of the A. B.
& A., and a good paying piece of pro
petry.
This section of country, it was
pointed out, is fertile, already pro-
duces considerable cotton, and with

Mr.. LEWIS IN FAVOR
OF ANTI JUG LAWS
Opposed 10 Shipping the

FROM WET INTO A DRY STATE
He FdyOrS National Legislation Which
Will Prevent Shipment of

Are Dry.
FROM WET INTO A DRY STATE

Hon. E. B. Lewis, our able and pop
ular congressional representative, as
his friends in Americus and elsewhere
know, is a staunch believer in the
enforcement of the law, and now
that Georgia has gone for prohibition
he says he proposes to work harder
than ever for the enactment by con
gress of a measure which will pre-
vent the liquor states from shipping
intoXcants into those states or coun-
ties which have abolished the sale
In a recent interview upon the sub
ject Mr.. Lewis is thus quoted
THE Littlefeld bill was reported
fayOrably to the last house." Congress-
man Lewis said, "and it met with
much favor. Congress had leaned
toward prohibition all the while We
voted liquor out of the national capi-
toll out Of the soldiers homes under
national supervision and banished it
from the army canteen.
4 feel satisfied that the sentiment
has grown to such an extent that the
sixtieth congress will pass a bill de-
nying the, right of the states in which
liquor is permitted to be sold, to ship
it into those states or counties where
it is prohibited by law
The recent agitation of the ques-
ton, and the action of Georgia in abb
olishing the sale of liquor will have
a wholesome effect, and will, in my
opinion stimulate friendship for an
anti-jug movement in congress to a
point which will result in the meas
ure being enacted into law.
There was also up for considera-
ton at the last session several bills TO
prohibit the government from issuing
licenses for the sale of liquor in those
states which have gone dry. feel
confident that the sixtieth congress
viii also enact this legislation, as it
should. States and counties which
abolish the sale of intoXicants by Ie-
gal enactment should be afforded the
full and complete protection OF the
government.
Il am, personally, in favor of both
OF these measures and propose to
do everything in my power, to bring
about their enactment by the sixtieth
congress"

RAIN OF CHICKEN PIE
FELL AT PICNIC
Heavenly Shower Hits the Hun
CRY Via Cyclone.

EAGLES MERE, PENN, August
12.-When hundreds of ham and
chicken sandwiches fell here during
a thunderstorm the other day, folks
wondered what miracle was being
performed which should cause food
to drop from the heavens.
For twenty minutes the sandwiches
fell with now and then a chunk of
chocolate caks, to vary the monotony.
Some olives and a few pickles also
came along, and now and then a
pie
1t was explained later, when a
church picnic party came along and
told how a tornado had ripped up
things at the grounds, The tables
has been set and the dinner bell
sounded when a rip-snorting wind
came and carried off every bit of the
food
Strangely enough the several layer
cakes were left behind, and the wo-
men who baked them were humiliated
They said that some unllind persons
might think they were too heavy,

THE TICKERS STILL SILENT
Both AmeriCus Offices Are Still Bottled
No Business Handled to Central Points BY Either Office Although Man
ayers and Operators Remain on Duty.

ers where non-union men are still at
work, the great network of telegraph
wires throughout the county are
gripped in the biggest strike in his
tory.
In many small offices union men
are still working, but at all the ini-
tial points, business has been practi
cally prostrated, though it is still be-
ing accepted subject to delay"
With the strike in the New York
offices the remaining cities of the
east walked out All eyes had been
centered on New York and when the
whistle was blown there as the sig
nal for strike, other cities fell in line,
as union men elsewhere would not
work with non-union men who man
ned the wires.
How long the strike will continue
is problematical and neither the men
nor the telegraph companies advance
any opinion.
The men declare they are IN finan-
cial condition to make the strike a
fight to a finish and the telegraph com
panies have given no indication of
acceding to the demands of the men.
1t is not believed the brotherhood
of the Order of Railway Telegraphers
will be affected unless an attempt
should be made by railroads to han
die commercial business over railroad
wires. In this event it is. said the
O. r. T. will be called out in sympa-
thetic strike. Under existing condi-
tions the running of trains will not
be interfered with.

AS silent as a line of tombstones
were the lines leading out from the
Americus Offices of the Western I'm
ion and Postal Co, yesterday, while
inside the buildings the silent tickers
bore mute testimony of the war waged
between the operators and the tele-
graph companies.
If possible, the situation was worse
than upon the day before.
Few if any messages were handled
in Americus at all Up to noon the
Western Union had not handled a
message to any point, and on the day
before a grand total of four messages
were handled there.
Conditions at the Postal Cos office
here are about the same as with its
larger competitor.
Manager Clark and Manager Poole
have not struck out" Both remain
with their operators at their respect
i've offices, but unable to transact bus
mess at central points.
No one can predict the end or out
come of the strike.
Business ordinarily sent by tele-
graph is now being mailed to it's des-
tination. Of course some messages are
sent by wire, as the manager and
wire chiefs in the principal offices
are not union men and have been
working day and night without rest
since the strike was declared.

telegraphers and a few leased wire
circuits which have a contract with

the impetus that would be given to
it by a railroad would develop rapidly
into one of the finest portions of
southwest Georgia, furnishing large
quantities of freight to the A. B. &
A.
"A roadway has already been sur
veyed between Americus and that
point. 1t is believed that the cost
of such an extension would be COM
Dartively small, and that once the
officials of the A. B. & A. look over
the field they would be satisfied that
the opening is too good one to
miss.
1t is recognized that the A B, &
A. must have a number of feeders.
An extension to Americas, twenty-five
miles long, would probably prove one
of the best feeders that could be de-
vised both in incoming and out 60
ing freights.
While the A. B. & A. would be bene-
fitted Americus would also reap con-
siderable trade and shipping advan-
tages.
The Board of Trade has opened up
with the proper par
ties and it is believed that within a
fortnight some representative of the
A. B. & A will visit this city, talk
the matter over with the business
men, and probably make hasty
study of the general situation.
If Americus can get connected up
with the A. B. & A. it will be a big
thing. Everyone should show very
hearty interest in the project

ANOTHER TAX ON FARMERS
Fertilizer inspection Fee is Increased From 10 Gents
to Is Gents Ton.

this measure, if it becomes a law,
will be sufficient to give each of the
agricultural schools $4,000 a year
and the State agricultural college
$4,000
The Martin bill to increase the fer
tilizer inspection fees was taken up as
the special order, displacing the dis
franchisement bill which went over
until the afternoon.
1t is estimated that the proposed in
spection fee of 25 cents a ton will
raise a total revenue of 100000 for
the agricultural schools and the agri-
cultural college, giving each of the
eleven district colleges the handsome
amount of $4,000.
