VIII Be Divided and Atlanta Gets Ons
Division.

Atlanta, March 21.-Repor,s from
Washington, D. c., announce the es-
tablishment of two grand divisions OF
the Southern railway, the headquar-
tiers of the southern and western d.
visions to be at Atlanta, Ga, with

diction over 900 miles OF road.
It IS understood that the subdivid-
ing of the division will be made IL

number of sub divisions were created
only a short while ago, and while

that matters will be more improved
by the creation of the two new d.
visions
It is believed that in addition to- the
number of clerks and employees that
Mr.. RTchey will bring to Atlanta,
many other officers may be moved to
this city
The establishment of the division
headquarters in Atlanta will do away
with a great deal of delay over mat
tiers in the past on account of the Of
fees of the Southern being in Wash
ington, the eastern terminus of the
road.
Many questions of Importance have
TO be referred to Washington and on
account Of the Offices being so far
removed from the other sections of
the line much valuable time is lost.
1t has been expected for. some time
that vice president Of the Southern
being in Washington, the appoint
ment of a division manager will an
swer this purpose.
Superintendent Rfchey, who, it is
said, will take charge of the Atlanta
division, is well known IN this city
and has a host of friends who will be
glad to welcome him back TO the
local colony of railroad officials.
It is expected that the new appoint
ment of Mr. Richey Will result in the
promotions of E. r. Loyal, now SUI
perintendent of the eastern division at
Charlotte, TO succeed Mr.. Richey
while E. NJ. Hutchins, superintendent
Of the Memphis division, will take

| All the army reserves have now been

that the government has at it's dis

A regiment stationed at PIoesir has

all centarl points to the scenes of
the disturbances.

the plundering and incendiarism at
BOtosahri.
According TO the latest advices re-
ceived here from that town, quiet has
been restored there. The minister

to the educational authorities of all
the villages in Roumania to impress
on the peasants that the outbreaks
are greatly to their disadvantage, and

NORTHERN VERSUS GRAY.

A verbal battle is on between
Ex-Governor Northen and Editor
Gray, of the Atlanta Journal.
In the ante bellum days the
proceedings up to date would have
called tor interviews between
seconds and visit to some near
by dell where bullets could be ex
changed without interference from
sheriff's posse.
In these degenerate days, how
ever, the difficulty between the two
honorable gentlemen is taking the
shape of long communications and
editorials, which, while they rasp
the feelings of the antagonists and
increase the gayety of nations, are
not calculated to do much more
than annihilate their speaking
acquaintanceship
1t seems that editor Gray
insinuated that ex, Gov. Northern
was making his canvass of the State
at the expense of unknown
individuals opposed to the
disfranchisement Of the negro.
While he did not specify who the
contributors to the fund were the
unpleasant taste was left in the
mouth that they might be some old
New England abohtionists, or
members of some Boston club that
advocates the amalgamation of the
races.
Governor Northen comes back
III two column letter in the Geor-
gian. He denounces the editorials
of the Journal as absolutely and
SANDER ously false He calls on
the men of Georgia to despise Edi-
tor Gray and his work. Gray, he
holds, "can see nothing in the
purity of the woman of the state
bigger than negro's vote" The
insinuation that he has some one
putting up fund fer him leads
the ex Governor to say: II despise
the spirit and the man who has
it !" If Gray believes more in
negro disfranchisement than in
protection of the women of Georgia
then, Northen says, ian outraged
people will raise up and crush the
Journal into eternal forgetful-
ness.n
We move the appointment of an
arbitration committee at once,
under the rules adopted at The
Hague. 1t is too hot for any
more wars, and besides Honduras
and Nicaragua have the centre of
the stage at this time, anyway.N

CONGRATULATIONS TO AMERICUS

Americas is to be congratulated
on the stand its voters took Wed
neSday. 1t put the world on notice
that this citysis determined to avail
itself of every opportunity to ad-
vance that presents itself. 1t prov
ed conclusively to the great public
outside of Sumter county that
Americas has no fear as to its own
future, that it realizes that il has
ample opportunities to grow in
population and business, and that
it does not propose that single
one of them shall escape because of
any lukewarmness on its part.
But there was also another thing
that was demonstrated to the world
that was of even more significance.
1t was that the people of this city
are practically a unit in their
determination to work for Ameri-
Gus. That was the real lesson of
the returns.
1t was, to all practical ends, a
unanimous vote for all the contem-
plated Improvements. There was
little voting on the negative side,
but not sufficient to possess any
significance. The few who voted
against street paving and school
bonds were, in APPLICABILITY, not
really averse to these improve
ments, but were of the mir d that
more definite information should
haye been furnished as to exactly
how the money would be expended.
This unanimity of sentiment
speaks well for Americas. It was
generally recognized that the
affirmative side would easily carry
the election. The fact that so large
a number of the business men
went to the polls to record
their views and assume
definite stand for progress told
plainly the renewed interest
that is felt in the welfare of the
city. 1t is as though Americas
had had new birth and was once
more in the hey day of youth, full
of vigor and ambition.
A united people can overcome
all obstacles. The people of
Americas are united.
Let US stay united and work as
one man for the upbuilding of the
city.
