Location of Railroad Fully
Decided
AT MEETING HELD I'M unADILLA

Doubt of Success of Venture,

The projected Western & Gulf Rail
way from Americas to Hawkinsville
will be built via Unadilla, and Byron
vile, taking what is known as the
northern route" This was determined
upon at a meeting of those interested
in the venture, day or two ago.
The meeting was held at Unadilla,
and attended by delegations from
Americas and Hawkinsville.
Mr.. Crawford Wheatley returned
yesterday from attendance upon the
meeting and feels greatly encouraged
at the prospect for the success of the
enterprise, which no thinks is fully
assured.
The directors at this latter meeting
fully confirmed the action of the recent
massmeeting held in Hawkinsville, al
which preference was given the pro
posed line via Unadilla, and thus the
long discussed route through Dooly
county is determined fully.
Mr.. Wheatley, Mr.. J. P. Lovejoy Of
Pulaski, and Mr.. Seymour Byron Of
Dooly county, will leave this week
for New York, where they go in the
interest of the proposed railway. There
is no doubt that all the financial assis.
lance needed can be easily obtained.
With the route thus finally deter

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at leafs
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all It's stages, and
that is Catarrb. Halls Catarrh Cure is
the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease requires CON
stitutiOnal treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the foun-
dation of the disease, and giving the
patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so

TO HAVE BIG PLANT
At BEDS OF KAOLIN.
Stock Company May Operate
Property.
VALUE OF BEDS INEsTIMAsLE
Already Large Sum Subscribe to That
EnG-Valus of kaoln az Article Of
Railroad viii Be Butt
to the Deposits Here.

That Americas has been slum bering
for years with gold mine of vast
wealth at her doors was evidenced a
few days since in the sale of the i'm
mense and valuable deposits of kaolin
to Montgomery people, who viii dc
yelop it and reap a rich harvest.
Much has been said already concern
ing this most valuable field of wealth,
but even the purchasers do not realiz5
its extent and richness. The field is
one Of the richest in the United States,
And it may mean the establishment
of an important industry in Americas
at very early date.
The owners of the property have
been asked to organize a stock COM
pany for the development of the prop
erty, it is said, and already Montgom-
cry people have agreed to take a huge
block of the stock. KaoIin IS used
there, and its value appreciated.
tbs said that $50, 600 of stock will be
readily taken there.
In fact, there would be no difficulty
in placing all the stock should such
company be organized.
In this event it would be the purpose
to establish a plant in Americas for the
manufacture of several of the hun
dreds of articles in which kaolin is
used. Crockery ware, if made here,
would probably be of the cheaper
grade, northern cities making the
finest.
But kaoHn goes into many other
articles of daily use as well.
Flour, it is said, contains large per-
centage of kaolin. The clay taken
from the beds near Americas, when
crushed, resembles the finest flour.
1t Is also used in the manufacture of
candies, fine toilet soap, face powder,
cosmetics Of various kinds, powdered
sugar, lard and hundred other articles.
Paints are made of it as we'll, and that
upon many handsome homes in Amer
icus is part kaolin.
While the mines, several miles in ex-
tent, are eight or nine miles from
Americas, the clay can be easily trans
ported here, and to this end it is pro-
posed to build line from the beds to
point near Andersonville. This dis
lance will be only three miles.
The possibilities of building up a
great industry here are great indeed,
and the development of the kaolin eds
is awaited with interest,

BIG 5URLEsoUE OF MINISTRIES
Independent Order OF Possums a
r inc Feature.

A fine burlesque introduced by the
Donnelly 81 Hatfield Minstrels, which
will delight Americas Tuesday night at
the opera house, will be the ceremony
of initiation into the independent
Order of Possums." Every feature that
savors of the workings of the interior
of lodgeroom has been developed into
laughable incident, realistic scenery
phasing the varied details of the initia-
ton. The immortal billy goat does
his stunt in true secret order fashion.
He introduces several new memb ers
into the mysteries of 1.-The independent
Order of Possums," and the manner in
which the mute but active grand
MASTER performs his duties drives
away the blues ana makes one cheerful
for a week. The Lord High Dinky
Dink" of the lodge presides in 'possum
fashion, The negro members of the
lodge officiate in all their glory and in
such manner as to gain immediate
recognition from the faithful lodge
embers of today.

DRAGGED LIKE A SHIPS ANCHOR
Nothing Doing in Cotton cire'es at
Present.

Like dragging anchor was the cot
ton market yesterday. No sales were
reported among the Americas ware
houses, and there is little If any de-
mand upon the part of buyers. There
is every prospect of large cotton crop
for the year 1867. The receipts are
already million of bales greater than
they were two years ago when the big
crop was made, and the indications are
that they will be heavier. The world
needs more cotton. There is greater
consumption of cotton now than at any
period in the history of the world. 1t
appeers that a crop of fourteen million
bales of cotton ought to bring at least
ten cents per pound.

WILL DISPOSE OF ALL STOCKS
Prohibited Under State Law Before
Next august.

Owing to the foresight and energy OF
a certain druggist, former Macon
man, the pure food drug and liquor law
which was enacted at the last session
of the Legislature, and to take effect
from and after the first day of August,
1907, contains the provision that the
act shall not apply to stocks of drugs
and medicines on hand in this state,
until the first day of August 1908.
This gives the druggists ample time in
which to dispose of all stocks on hand
that may not come up to the require
ments of the act, Dealers in foods,
beverages, condiments, candies and
liquors must dispose of their prohibited
stock by August, 1907

BEAVER GULCH SURVEY

County Commissioners Benton
Doncr, Steve Simon and j S. Her
ron, in company with +. Il. IIar-
mon and Sheriff McMaster. were
over yesterday to take Il view of
the Beaver gulch road. which was
land out some years AGO as the
"main Travelled road between
Forest City and Gettysburg. On
account of heavy rains and floods
the road cot into ''inoccuous de-
>uctudc.' but the Board have now
Il petition before them praying for
the road to be restored to its an
cicnt usefulness.
The Press notes with pleasure
the interest that MIR. Harmon is
taking in the subject. In an in
tcrvicw with him he informed us
that he did not believe i'm the
county spending its money on
cheap, one horse affairs, and con-
sequently is cndcavoring to induce
the Board to appropriate at least
$1,000 to make road that will he
substantial and lasting and credit
to the county.
As a part of this project he has
asked the Board to make the grade
thru the Bulky labebcd, the CON
tract for which was let last sum
mcr, two feet higher than origi-
nally intended. MIR. Harmon is
giving the Board some valuable
assistance, in order to help accom-
plish the project, which, on ac-
count of the straight section line
east and west. and the easy grades.
must come sooner or later. What
is wanted is Il unanimous senti-
ment of our voters, i'm favor of the
latest improved methods of road
building.
