RAILWAY ASKS FOR FRANCHISE
Use OF Streets in the City Asked OF
Council.

A committee of gentlemen interested
in the Macon, Americas & Albany
Electric Railway appeared before the
city council last night asking certain
franchise rights, among others the
privilege of occupying certain streets
should it be necessary so to do, among
others Elm avenue. While there is no
strenuous objection upon the part of
any member of council to the PROPOSE
ton, this paragraph was referred to the
street committee to be reported to coun-
Gil at special meeting on Tuesday
night next, Goth, While it is by no
means certain that the railway company
will thus use Elm avenue, if the right
to do so was granted, the privilege is
deemed necessary in the event an
other route cannot be secured upon
equitable terms. The aldermen re-
questing further time in the premises
disclaimed any purpose of throwing
cold water npon the enterprise, stating
| that they only wished to further inves-
| tigate the matter. All other requests of
the company, aside from this single
paragraph, met the approval of the
council. {:

INDUSTRIES ON ELECTRIC ROAD


Americas has very much to expect
in the advancement of her industrial
interests by the building of the Macon

To build up this section, increase its
population and provide means OF earn
ing livelihood, is the policy of the
company already outlined, and in this
Americas will share greatly.
From q high source comes the infor-
nation that the company proposes TO
locate manufacturing plants along the
line, and it is said Americas is down
on the list for great cotton mill, or
some enterprise equally as good.
The company has millions of capital;
it proposes to develop the country
trsversed by its lines, and Americas
is going to feel the good effects of this

ly to the end of recruiting his company
before the annual inspection in March.
The recent reports from Washing

than fifty-eight men, has caused much
discussion among local military men.
Until the order ir received here, no un-

lieved that, in case such an order should
be given, little trouble would be found
in augmenting the size of the military

a COURSE OF STUDIES
Outdoor Work as Well as Books Ia
included.

The course of study TO be pursued by
pupils in the agricultural college in
Americas, as in the other districts. has
been outlined already and is favorably
discussed by educators and others in
terested. The fact should be keptsclearly
in mind in discussing the question of
studies that should be pursued that
the thing aimed at by the establish
ment Of these colleges isthe prepare
ton of boys to become farmers. They
should be taught whatever is calcu-
the things that will help them in
their chosen calling. 1t Is apparent
from the curriculum proposed that
the students are expected to do
great deal of practice work. They
are to go into the fields and
orchards and take part in the plant
ing and harvesting of the crops,
farmer will never have use for al
zebra, or languages other than the
English, of which he should have a
pretty thorough knowledge. There
isn't one student in a hundred that will
get we'll enough acquainted with alge-
bra, if it should be admitted as one OF
the studies, to apply it, and it will be
extremely seldom that there will be
need of that branch of mathematics.
and practically the same thing may be
said of the foreign languages. Every
thing that is taught should tend to the
making of first class farmers.

That Fancy Price 10 Offered Here
Yesterday.

Even that estimate of twelve million
bales ginned to date cannot hold down
the price of the f1eecy. as evidenced by
the advancein values yesterday. This
was not very great, but even slight
improvement is better than further
decline. At one of the Americas ware
houses the round price of eleven cents
was offered yesterday for lot of par

is the prevailing figure. There is still
a good quantity of cotton in the Amer.

neighborhood of eleven cents will catch
