there are some who hold the opinion
that Hon. W. Q. Wright of Newman
will be in the race.
Judge Moses Wright of Rome, is
mentioned as candidate in the
Seventh, against Congressman Gordo1-

of Judge I. A. Parker getting into
the contest with CONGRESSMAN Brant-

Several prospective candidates are
grooming in the Tenth to go after the
scalp of Congressman T. w. Hardwick,

Congressman @. L. Bartlett of the
Sixth have been eliminated from the
discussion.
The only aspirant for United States

Mr.. Wright is not saying anything
of a direct nature, but he admits with a
modest frankness that many friends
have urged him to get into the race

HEROES OF LEE AND OF GRANT

Norfolk, July S.-The management
of the jamestown Exposition has an
nounced that July 10th has been decid-
ed upon as the National Veterans AS
sociation the Blue and the Gray and
their Sons Day, and that fitting pro-
gram for the day has been arranged.
The meetings of the Association will
be held in the Convention room of the
Press Building, the morning session
lasting from nine to twelve o'clock,
and the afternoon session from three to
seven, at which time such business as
the body has to transact will be dis
posed of. There will be parade of old
veterans and their sons, at which time
music will be furnished by some of the
many bands stationed at the Exposi-
ton. An entertainment will br tender
ed them in the evening.
The purpose of this new organization,
which was formed March 30, last year,
in Atlanta, is to bring together in a
spirit of brotherly love the survivors
of the armies of Grant and Lee, IN ord
er that there might be a recognized
union of the people of the North and
South.
That every American soldier, wheth-
er he wore the blue or the gray, by
coming in contact with each other,
learn that after all they are both Amer
lean citizens, and thereby prove to the
world at large that this is united
Nation, that sectionalism nos longer
holds sway, that veterans of 6l-65,
whether they lived in the North or
South, are united today, tomorrow and
forever.
The Association is rapidly growing
both in favor and numbers, and it is
expected that the meeting at the James
town Exposition will he largely attend
ed by old soldiers from ali parts of the
country.

AmeriCuS Railway and Light Company TO Be Chartered
at Atlanta,
PETITION FOR SAME WILL BE FILED THERE TODAY
Southern Public Service Company Of Philadelphia Unanimously Decides 70
Garry Out Every Provision of DOdSOn Contract With the CITY of
AmeriCuS--WOrk to Begin QuiCkIy-.rSt Fruits of the
Recent Visit of Pennsylvania Capitalists.

On Saturday Mr.. Dodson met Vice
president Walker there and the appli.
cation for charter was at once drafted
and Mr.. Dodson was directed to take
the necessary legal steps to secure the
charter and to arrange for the carrying
out of all necessary steps called for by
the contract with the City of Americus.
Bond will accordingly be entered in
to with the City to the extent of S25,-
900, guaranteeing the beginning of the
work within the specified time, its
completion within the time set forth
in the contract, and the faithful execu-
ton of every provision of the contract.
On or before August 6, but four
weeks off, work will begin on the new
power and lighting plant.
Work is to be pushed on it as rapidly
as the material and workmen can be
sN,ured.
1t is to be made high class in every
particular, embodying everything that
is latest and best in the electrical line,
and within six months, in all probable
ty, Americus will have light and pow
er during the entire day.
While the work on the railroad does
not have to start until the latter part
of next December it is promised to be-
gin its construction as quickly as ar
engagements can be made for the mate
rials. The route that is to be taken has
not yet been selected. 1t is probable
that it will not be announced for sew
eral weeks yet.
No statement is made as to where the
power and lighting plant are to be
built. Options are understood to have
been secured on one or more sites.
The old plant, as is well known, is to
be removed to another town. Every
thing about the new plant is to be alb
Solutely new.
The unanimity with which the direc
tors of the Southern Public Service
Company took hold of the Americus
proposition, after coming a thousand
miles to inspect the field, is one of the
most fattering endorsements of the
future of Americus that could be de-
sired
When hard headed men of money
visit a city and inspect it with critical
eyes and decide without dissenting
voice that it is fine place for invest
ments there can be no reasonable doubt
as to the future of that place.
Within a year street cars will be
running in Americus, it's business in
terests will shave electric power at
their disposal, and, if the city can
handle it's bonds to advantage, its en-
tire business section will be paved
with vitrified brick or some other
equally as good material.
Amencus is on the up grade.

Today application will be filed with
the Secretary of State at Atlanta for a
charter for the Americus Railway and
Light Company.
Last night Hon. w. A. Dodson, rep
resenting the company as its attorney,
Us well as one of those interested fnan.
cially in the projects it has undertaken,
left Americus for the capital for that
purpose.
The capital stock of the new company
will be 5000, 900. 1t will be subscribed
mainly by the Southern Public Ser
vice Company, of Philadelphia, whose
official representatives paid a visit OF
inspection and investigation to Amer
icus some days ago.
On Wednesday of last week the di-
rectors of the Southern Public Service
Company met at Philadelphia to con-
slider the adyisabIlity of formally ac-
cepting or declining to take up the
Dodson contract with the City of Amer
icus.
This company is already interested
to considerable extent in lighting
and power companies in the South,
and proposes to devote its abilities and
capital entirely along these lines in
this section.
When the Americus project, which
includes the establishment of an en-
tirely new electric light and power
plant, to be operated the entire twenty
four hours of the day, and the con-
struction of street railway system to
be not less than four miles in length,
came up for consideration there was
not dissenting vote.
Unanimously the directors voted to
accept the Dodson contract with the
city of Amoricus in every detail, and
to proceed to arrange at once for the
speedy carrying out of all of it's provt-
sions.
There does not seem to have been
any real doubt, since a number of the
capitalists interested in the company
visited Americus, that the project
would be taken up by the company.
Those who came to Americus were
more than pleased with the existing
conditions and the magnificent out
look for the future growth of the bust
ness and population OF this city.
Their personal reports satisfied all
of the other members of the board of
directors of the company that no better
proposition could be desired than that
afforded by the contract open with the
City of Americus.
president Walker, of the COM
pany, having business at Marion, S.
c., where the Southern Public Service
Company controls the lighting and
power service, Mr.. Dodson was tele-
graphed to meet him there.

had in former houses. But those who
were inclined to this view were never
more mistaken in their lives. His
