Hampstead is after a round
house and shops of the Houston X
Texas Central, and a committee
of business men from that place
went to Houston to lay the matter
before the officials of the road. As
il is still not against the law to
guess in Texas, we offer the sur
mise that Hampstead is too close
to Houston to get anything more
than the forks OF the road OF which
that town is now in possession.

The Eagles Legislative report
from Austin yesterday states that
a death blow has been dealt the
bucket shops by the legislature.
T;.s senate concurred in the house
amendments TO the Jenkins aud
Mayheld bill, which suppresses
bucket shops altogether and even
prohibits the operation of legiti-
mate cotton exchange to certain
extent. The vote concurring in
the house amendments was - to

receiving the governors signature.

A special session of the legisla-
ture now seems certain, and the
probabilities are that it will not be
called until ninety days after the
adjournment of the present regu-
lar session. It is believed that by
allowing the law makers to rest
and catch up with their business at
home they will do better work
upon their return TO Austin.

ure it must be surrendered.

Attended Court At Irwinville
Ten Years Ago.

There is no better index to
the progress of section of coun.
try than increased railroad
facilities. Ten years ago, Rev.
Glenn, the pastor of the NJ. e.
church S., invited some of the
active w. C. T. y. ladies to ac-
company him to Irwinville court
when several Club-room propri-
eters were to be tried for the
the sale of intoxicants.
The only conveyance at that
time was long Buss with seat
running lengthwise, one on each
side, owned and run by the
Snyder boys. This whole coun-
try, outside of Fitzgerald, was a
wilderness of pines, with very
uncer tain roads-roads that dou-
bic up every few miles, because,
in those days when a tree fell it
was left where it fell and teams
drove around it. The distance
from Fitzgerald to Irwinville
was called, anywhere from four
teen 10 sixteen miles. We wand
cred around for several hours
and wound up against a rail fence
more than once, arriving at 1r-
winvi1le somewhere near noon.
We had left home at six in the
morning. 1t would fill the En-
terprise to relate our experiences.
Suffice it to say that the five club
men were indicted and fined $500
each, or the changing, and we
arrived at Fitzgerald the next
morning little before daylight.
Today, the Ocilla & Valdosta,
the p1ucky new railroad, offers
a schedule for a court train( not
a ladies court dress train but a
railroad that will pick you up at
$50 in the morning at the A. B.
A. depot, Apd land you at Irwin
Vile in little less than an hour
and return you to your home at
7:3O p. m. the world do move"

A. B, & 4. MAY BUILD
LINE TO TAMPA.

A short line to Tampa, Fla,
passing through one of the rich
est undeveloped sections Of
Florida and connecting with the
present line at Thomasville, Ga,
will be built by the Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic Railroad
company, according to rumors
that are being circulated in local
railroad circles.
It has been stated by the Off
cials of the A B. & A. that there
have been no definite plans de-
cided upon in regard to the rum
ored railroad, but it is under
stood that surveys have already
been made for the new road,
north from Brooksville, Fla.
The Tampa Northern railroad
which will run from Tampa to
Brooksville, Fla, distance Of
forty miles, will be open for
traffic by July l, and it is thought
that this road will be used as a
part of the new road which, it is
said will he built from Thomas
vile to Tampa.
The Tampa Northern railroad
is controlled by President H. M.
Atkinson, of the Atlanta, Birm-
ingham and Atlantic Railroad
company; P. S. Arkwright, Mar
stin Amorous and Gordon Abbott,
who are stockholders in the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic.
A railroad man, who recently
returned to Atlanta from visit
to Florida, stated that surveys
for the proposed line. we're being
made and that it was the opinion
among the property owners be-
tween Tampa and Thomasville,
that the new road would be built
as soon as possible.
If the road is built it will pierce
one of the wealthiest parts Of
Florida, penetrating rich,
uncut timber belt, and opening
up communication with an al
most isolated part of the state.
The new road would offer At
ltanta direct line to Tampa and
give the Atlanta, Birmingham &
Atlantic railroad line OF over
1000 miles.
