On the Turf.

The horse-racing event of the week will be the Belmont stakes, with a gross value of 5,0O0, for horses foaled in 1904, over a course of one mile and three furlongs. It will be run at Bel mont park. Among the eligibles are five from James R. Keene's stables Superman, Peter Pan, zambesi, Gretna Green and Grimaldi. Other horses en- titled to start are Don Enrique, Oken- ite, Charles Edwards, Frank Gill, Me Carter, Belcast Paumonok, salvidere, Saracinesca, Senator Clay and The Wrestler. Should Superman start, he is looked upon, in view of his recent victory in the Brooklyn Handicap, as having a strong chance to finish first.

DRILL IS STARTED
DOWN new WELL.
Increase In Water Supply
Here.
THIRD WELL NOW BEING BORED
AT Reservoir and Contractor Hopes
to Strike Water at 700 Feet,
the Level at Which Present
Supply Obtained.

The work of sinking another artesiar
well for the city ~Sas entered upon yes
terday by Mr.. ). S. Chandler, to whom
the contract was awarded recently and
Americus' water supply will be in
creased to this extent.
This will give the city three fine ar
tesian wells at the reservoir.
Mr.. Chandler is fully well equipped
for the work in hand and expects to
strike water at depth of 700 feet, pene-
trating the underground stream which
feeds the two wells there.
While the city's water supply has
been ample up to this time the rapid
growth of Americus makes it impera-
tive to provide for the early future, and
to that end the city council gave the
contract for still another we'll.
The splendid health record of Amer
icus is attributed largely to her abso-
lutely pure artesian water. Besides
the wells owned by the city there are
several others here upon private prop
erty, affording plenty pure water.
The new well will probably be COM
pleted within sixty days.

OUR CHEAP TRIPS
MAY BE CUT OFF
Americas Folks Interested
in Railroads Threats
is IT MERELY A BIG BLUFF?
Or Will the Railroads Really Put an
End to All the Cheap Summer
Excursions to TYbee and
Other Points.
is IT MERELY A BIG BLUFF?

Amerlcus folks are much interested
in the reports sent out from Atlanta to
the effect that if the railroad commits
sion decides to reduce the regular pas
senger rates on the railroads in Georgia
all special excursion rates will be cut
off by the railroads.
This would affect probably half of
the population of Americus. Every
summer there is big travel from here
to Tvbee island, to Cumberland island,
to Tallulah and other mountain points.
Advantage is taken by many hundreds
of the cheap summer rates to these
points, If these rates are cut off the
travel will be cut off to great extent
in all likelihood.
AS stated, it is currently reported in
Atlanta that the railroads of Georgia
propose to fight to the full limit any
reduction of the passenger fare in this
state,
1t is understood that they will
threaten, in the event of reduction
in the rate, to withdraw all special
rates, to refuse to make any reduced
rates in future, to cancel all weekend
rates, to decline to operate any excurs-
ion trans and to collect the straight
fare from every person who rides.
If the threat doesn't work and the
fare is reduced, it is understood they
will make the fight through injunction
in the courts first and if that fails
some of the threats may be put into
execution.
The question of reduction in the
passenger. rate will come before the
Railroad Commission on April 3.
