STATE TO CONTEST
SUITS OF RAILWAYS
To Prevent the Enforce
ment of Rates
GOVERNOR STATED HIS POSITION
In Speech at Sparta leSterday.-Rail'

Courts to Toe the Mark
in Rates.
GOVERNOR STATED HIS POSITION

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 10.-The
state is making careful preparation
for fighting the suits of the railroads
which were recently instituted to
prevent the enforcement of reduced
fares. The governor spent some
time yesterday in consultation with
the members of the railroad commits
sion and attorneys.
Just what line of action has been
agreed upon has not, it is stated,
been fully agreed upon, but it is
known that the state is sanguine as
to winning it's fight in the end.
The position of the governor as re-
CARDS the railroads is clearly stated
in his speech which he delivered to-
day at Sparta. He stated that the
grand iuries of the various counties
should act as we'll as the railroad
commission, and if neither of these
were able to carry out the laws the
governor himself will take a hand.
The governor and members of the
railroad commission do not believe
that any federal judge will annul the
orders of the commission after hear
ing the case on its merits.

WIT OF WOMAN TOLD
IN A FEW LINES
Americas Woman Poses AS a
Philosopher.

An Americas matron, reasoning
from experience jotted down the fol-
lowing chunks of wisdom and sent
them to the Times-Recorder.
There is her opinion of husbands
and other old furniture
When a woman throws a stone
straight at the Devil she is apt to hit
her husband in the face.
About the worst joke a woman can
play on a man is to marry him.
Nine men out of every ten forget
to wind the clock until after they put
out the light and get in bed.
Never boast of your blood. You
may have to buy sarsaparilla next
spring.
Some jokes should be printed on
thin paper so the readers could see
through them.
Never hang your head, even if you
are guilty-the sheriff will attend to
the hanging.
Never buy a thermometer in the
summer; they are much lower in
winter.
Men come and men go, but the
gas meter goes on forever.
The darkest hour is always when
you can't find the matches
When man comes home at a.
m, and his wife tells him to come
straight up stairs, she is asking the
impossible.
Prohibition and "dew-drop clubs"
will make fifteen cents drinks out of
a five cent article.
Some men would be perfectly hap
by if they had neck like a giraffe

stains from a woman's fact than SYM
pathy ever would.

NOBODY SUFFERS
But UNCLE SAM
Imported Cigar Supply Shortage 10
Being Met by American Goods,
so the Duty Is Saved.

New York, Aug.-lncoming coast
line ships from Cuban ports bring
further news of the recently ended
cigar-makers' strike, which practi..
cally resulted in the elimination OF
imported cigars from the local, mark
cts. Those who have closely eX-
amined the Cuban situation size It
M in the sentence: Nobody sui
fers but Uncle Sam" This is the
American view and, of course, does
NOT take into account the loss to the
strikers and the Cuban manufactur-
ers by the struggle which began last
year.
ont from the jobbers to the retail
cigar dealers in Greater New York
that the supply of imported cigars
was running short. To-day the word
went out that the supply of imported
cigars was practically exhausted, and
that no more Havana cigars are ar
irving in American receiving ports.
The impression of Americans who
visited the island and who are &C
ouainted with the condition OF this
country, is that the strike may lead
to the practical ending of the import
business, and this condition gives
basis for their statement that nobody
suffers but Uncle Sam. lie loses the
import duties on cigars. he duty
on the raw material is far less, so
the American manufacturer steps IN
and. from the highest grades OF
Havana leaf, manufactures cigars
which compare fayorably with the
imported line
Cuban operatives are employed in
the factories at Tampa and Key
West. so that in reality the smoker
oe+s a cigar that is in every respect
a Havana product. One OF the larg-
est manufacturers, the Havana
American Company, makers OF the
FL Principe de Gales Cigar, prepared
for lust such situation by storing
III an enormous quantity Of the high
est grade Cuban leaf in warehouses
in Cuba. Key West and Tampa.
At the Offices of the Havana-Amer-
lean Company in this city, when in
ouirv regarding the situation was
made to-day, it was said
"The reports that the imported
cigar supply is practically exhausted
are correct. We are, however, not
disturbed by this condition, as we are
turning out cigars of the very high
est grade in our factories at Tampa
and Key West. Our supply of Gu
ban leaf is very large. In fact it is
the largest and best we have ever
had"

SCHOOLS OF GOTHAM
TANNED TO DOORS
Fifty Thousand Pupils Will Be
Turned Away.

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.--With the open
ing of the public schools of Greater
New York yesterday, the problem
of the seating question seems far
Their from solution than ever. De-
spite the fact that seats have been
provided for $4,000 additional pupils,
it appears likely that the enrolment
in Brooklyn alone will be so great as
to deprive not less than $4,000 chill
dren of proper schooling. Already
the enrolment is such as to crowd
all the buildings in Brooklyn, Queens
and Richmond boroughs to overflow
ing. Many thousands of Hebrew chill
dren did not enter school today, oW-
ing to this being the Jewish New
Year, and their attempt to enroll to-
morrow will likely result in bringing
down a storm of indignation on the
heads of the members of the board
of erucation. Manhattan's school pop
ulation has been decreased in the last
two years, and Brooklyn has become
the great center of juvenile popula-
ton.

INDEX CLAIMS
1T is NOT SO
Says Railroad Building Has Not
Stopped.
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

COLUMBUS, GA, Sept 10.-The
Georgia and Alabama Industrial In
dex says in its regular issue for this
week:
ANY impression that legislative en-
actment or executive action has caus-
ed a general cessation of the con-
struction of railroads and railroad
.betterments in Georgia and Alabama
is enormously at variance with the
actual facts. A company has just
been chartered to build a railroad
from cambridge, Ga, to a point on
the Gulf of Mexico, and in a north
easterly direction from that city
through three Georgia counties APP
plication has been made for a char
ter for a steam or electric railroad to
be constructed through the counties
of Coweta, Heard and Troup in Geor-
gia, a distance of 80 miles. A num-
Der of business men of the three
counties are interested Announce
men is made of the consummation in
New York of the necessary financial
arrangements for constructing an
electric railway between Gadsden,
Ala, and Tuscaloosa, Ala, via Bir-
mingham, Ala, to connect at Tusca-
loosa with steamboat and barge lines
on Warrior river. This investment
will amount to about 100000 The
construction of a 32-mile extension
Of the Chattahoochee Valley railroad
is progressing steadily. There has
been no interruption in the building of
a great railway system to traverse
Georgia from the southern portion
to Chattanooga, Tenn, and of ano-
Their from the South Carolina line
across the southern part of Georgia
into Florida. Bids are being asked
for the construction of a section of
railway between Troy, Ala, and Chip
ley, Fla. A railroads terminal facili-
ties at Mobile, Ala, will be increased
at a cost of 100000 and another
railroad contemplates building a
$4,000 depot.

Want Fair Rates Lowered.

ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 1O-Pas-
senger officials of the railroads of
Georgia and Alabama are in session
today in the rooms of the Southern
Passenger Association for the pur-
pose of considering rates for the
fairs which. are to be held in the two
states during September and Octo-
Der.
1t is believed with two exceptions
all of the roads will agree to give re-
duced rates.
The two roads which are expected
to refuse to reduce theic rates are
the Western and Atlantic railroad
and the Atlantic and West Point rail-
road. The officials will settle the
matter of of interliDe tickets, as the
tariffs will be revised.

A CARD FROM
THE CLERGY
Americas Ministers Endorse Am
circus Institute.

We, the undersigned ministers OF
the City of Americas most cherfully
commend to the interest of the public
The Americas Institute, of which
Prof M. w. Reddick is President. The
work and aims of this school for color
ed people meet with our hearty en-
dorsement.
In view of the recent offer made to
this school by the General Education
al Board, of New York, of funds which
will materially advance the interests
of the Institution, we would suggest
this object as one worthy of the Ii
berality of the public. This institu-
ton not only contributes to the men
tai and moral uplifting of the colored
race, but is also incidentally of con-
siderable commercial value to the
community.
Prof. Reddick is promised the sum
of $4,000, on condition that he raise
the su moi $500 OF this amount he
hopes to obtain from the white peo-
pie the sum of $1,000.
We hope the white citizens of our
community viii lreadily and cheerful
ly contribute this amount.
