WESTMINSTER.

Among the various county seats OF
Maryland, there is none more desir-
able than Westminster, both for resi-
dental and business purposes.
Situated as it is in one of the most
picturesque sections of the beautiful
and fertile county of Carroll, with an
elevation of 1000 feet above tide water,
and, being on the main stem of the
Western Maryland Railroad, about
one hours ride from Baltimore, it is
one of the most desirable county
towns in our state, as place of resi-
dence and of business.
The presence of Western Maryland
College, which is one of the largest
and most prosperous collegiate insti-
tutions of the state, stamps it as a
college town, giving intellectual tone
and refinement to the community.
1t is impossible to over stimate the
value of such college as Western
Maryland to town the size Of West
minister. 1t gives to the peopio { ,
easy opportunity for the higher edit
cation of their children, and is an in
tellectual uplift to the entire COM
munity.
The Merchants and Manufacturers
Association of our town has recently
stirred itself to bring before. the bus
mess people the advantages of West
minister as desirable place for man.
ufacturing establishments. And it's
efforts have been rewarded by the
coming of two manufacturing plants
which it is believed will prove profit
able to the owners and helpful 20 the
town. One is the Register Brass
Works, formerly of Baltimore, and the
other The Knapp Labelling Machine
Company works formerly of Chicago
Ill.
The recent sale of the building lot!
comprising "Longwell's Addition tt
Westminster" was one of the most i'm
portant events, in It's way, that ha
ever taken place in Westminster, af
fording an opportunity for large ant

LETTER is WRITTEN IN
REGARD TO TRAINS
Commission is Asked for
Information.

President Allen, of the Americus
Board of Trade has written to the
state Railroad Commission for in
formation regarding the discontin-
uance of certain trains on the Ameri-
us-Columbus division of the Central,
as announced by the Times Recorder.
President Allen stated yesterday
that his body desired to be heard from
by the Railroad Commission, and if
necessary a delegation might go to
Atlanta therefor.
Just what action the Board will
take can only be$surmised.
Despite the fact that the Americus
Board of Trade wrote to the Commits
sion two weeks ago, asking that in
formation be given it, direct, of any
probable change in railway schedules
her, no information was given of
the proposed action of the Central.
This request was made by the
Board of Trade recently in regard to
probable changes of schedule of
Seaboard trains rs and 76.
President Allen said yesterday
morning that the Americus Board of
Trade had received no advices at all
regarding proposed change of sched-
ule by the Central on the Columbus
division, all information upon the
subject coming from that city.
The Americus trades body, there
FORE will ask to be heard from before
the contemplated annulment of trains
is carried out, that they may be fully
advised.

ROUTE OF RAILWAY IN
CITY is LAID OUT
Electric Line in AmeriCuS a
Long One.

With plans fully matured, the
Americus Street Railway Co., is en-
abled today to announce the route in
the streets of the city of the electric
railway, to be constructed this sum-
mer. The entire route has been fin
ally and fully decided upon.
This information will be received
joyfully by our citizens.
Property owners are especially in
terested and many of these were
astir yesterday when it became
known that the route of the car
line had been fully decided upon
Some time was required in which
to reach conclusion upon this point,
as it was desired to cover as much
of the city as possible. And in the
route selected by the company nearly
every residence portion of Americus
will be covered.
The Central depot, Seaboard depot,
agricultural college and other points
are thus reached.
A map of the city, drawn especially
for this purpose, shows the electric
railway line from the electric plant,
the starting point, all through the
city The map can be seen this morn
ing in the front window of the DOd-
son Pharmacy.
Americus people will rejoice that
the line of route is at last determin-
ed upon and will await impatiently
the coming of the cars.

QUITE A LARGE FORCE
LAID OFF AT SHOPS
SeabOard is Cutting Down
Force Here.

Ten machinists, number of boiler
makers and helpers in other depart
ments, probably twenty or more, al
together, were laid off yesterday aft
ernoon at the Americus shops of the
Seaboard Railway, thus reducing
forces here
This action was probably unexpect-
ed, as it had not been discussed here
previously.
1t was not announced whether the
laying off of this number of employees
was temporary, to the end of reducing
operating expenses, or whether it was
permanent.
The latter theory is the generally
accepted one, as it is understood that
a great deal of heavy repair work
done heretofore at the Americus
shops would in future, be turned to
the Seaboard's new shops at Jackson
Vile
Forces at the Savannah shops will
be reduced as we'll
This material reduction of forces
here is very generally regretted, not
only among employees but among bus
mess men as we'll.

FACULTY OF SCHOOL is
SUSTAINED IN FULL
In ExpeIIing a Student
IherefrOm.

In the report of the meeting of
the Prudential Committee of the
Agricultural and Mechanical School,
that met at the school Monday, and
composed of Messrs. J. r. Stapleton
of Webster, ]. w. Bivins of Crisp, and
E. i. Bridges of Schley, slight er-
rOr was made.
The committee met to decide upon
an appeal made from the Faculty on
the suspension of one boy This boy
had been suspended on charges. The
father of the young man not being
satisfied with the action taken by the
Faculty, appealed the matter to the
Prudential Committee of the board.
The committee decided, unanimous
ly, in sustaining the Faculty.
The young man referred to, may
return to the school, yet if he does,
he will return upon the terms pres
cribed by the Faculty at the time of
the suspension. 1t was an error to
have said that the comittee had under
consideration the reinstating of a
young man from Lee.

One Bank Building

One of the first places canvassed
was the Fourth National Bank build
ing, where there are about 500 voters.
When the twelfth floor was reached
the paper only contained two names,
according to one who claims to have
seen it. Another, an attache of the
building, who saw the petition as the
agent was leaving, claims that only
three signatures were secured on the
first canvass.
A canvass of the local police force
demonstrated that not one of the 200
men employed thereon intends voting
for the present Governor. No man
could be found among those connected
with the fire department who will
support the administration 1t is said
that, excepting about half dozen,
the entire employed force of the local
government, amounting to about 600
men, are solidly for the opposition.
According to a man who has an Of
fee in the Peters building, where the
Governors law firm has offices, a petit
ton was circulated a few days ago,
and when it reached the fourth floor,
where the office of the informant is
situated, it did not contain a single
name
In the Empire building. less than a
dozen were obtained on the first visit

PAY-AS-YOU-ENTER
CARS IN NEW YORK

NEW YORK, March 30.-(SpeciaD-
The officers of the New York City
Railway look to the pay-as-you-enter
cars for an increase of more than
S2,000,O00 a year in the receipts of
the road when the automatic nickel
collecting device has been installed.
The increased receipts, the railroad
men say, will be derived from the
unimpeachable integrity of the fare
collecting machines, which can al
ways be depended upon to turn in
all the nickels collected from passen-
gers.
What this means may be judged
from statistics recently compiled by
traction officers on the discharge of
conductors for failing to register
fares" during the last four years. The
figures were made up before the end
of 1907, and therefore are to certain
extent approXimated for that year.
1t is shown by these returns that in
the year 1904 3,017 conductors were
discharged, in 1906, 1924 were dis
charged, and that in 1907 there were
1854 whose services were dispensed
with because Of this form of careless
ness.
AS there are about 5000 conductors
in the employ of the New York City
Railway Company, the 1907 figures
represented the discharge of the entire
force twice during the year for the
cause mentioned. A high traction of
ficer is authority for the state
ment that several hundred conductors
have been retained in the COM
panys employ whom the company
knew did not turn in all their fares,
simply because the company could not
better the situation by hiring others.

Gov. Hoke Smith held a conference

ago, and it is said that they frankly
told him that he would have a hard
fight to carry his own county. He
did not think so, but he is leaving no
stone unturned to insure success.

GOING TO DEVELOP BIG
BEDS OF KAOLIN
Industry to be Started in
Sumter.

An important industry is to be es-
tablished near Americus in the develop
ment and working of the extensive
beds of kaolin and fuller's earth, To-
Gated a few miles out of the city.
The Times-RecOrder has told at length
the story of~the important discovery
and the intentions of the owners re-
garding it's development. Yesterday
Messrs.& Lorenzo Davis and James
Robinson arrived here from Mont
gomery, and drove out to the beds
in the afternoon Mr.. Davis has been
impressed with the Importance of his
possessions in this very valuable de-
posit. Fullers earth is even more
valuable than kaolin, both entering
into the manufacture of so many ar
ticles of daily use, and the mines
here are rich in both. 1t is expected
that the deposits will be actively
worked during the summer and the
enormous wealth lying dormant in
the valleys of Sumter thus brought
into commercial use.
