AGAINST TAKING OFF TRAIN

The Board of Trade is voicing the
sentiment of Americas in protesting
against the discontinuance of part
of the Central's very excellent ser
vice between Americas and Columbus.
Any Gripping of this service would
work a hardship on Americas mer-
chants, who have many customers
who take advantage of the convenient
schedules and comfortable trains to
come in and out of Americas.
The case this time is very different
from the request recently made and
granted by the Railroad Commission
that the Central be allowed to discon-
tinue one train each way south of
Americus While this has also made
it inconvenient for many shoppers, no
protest was entered by Americas, as
the Central showed that oftimes these
trains were run practically without
passengers.
But any interruption Of the Central's
service westward towards Columbus
will have a more serious effect Hav-
ing been given leave to discontinue
one train between Americas and AL
bany, it seems rather hard that the
road should ask to badly interfere
with their Americas shopping trains

DON'T SAY 300" AT HOKE

Like the ghost of Banquo, the fir
ing of Commissioner Joseph NJ.
Brown pursues Gov. Smith. In an
other desperate effort to shake off
the nemesis, Gov. Smith, in my
paper" has given very labored ex-
PLANTATION of the event in which that
mysterious letter figures as the main
spring. Perhaps it occurred to the
Governor that as Mr.. Brown had not
as yet diyulged the awful contents of
that letter, Mr. Brown perhaps would
not, thus leaving the present incum-
bent with one weapon which might
possibly be loaded. Most of the
others have been blank cartridges or
boomerangs.
Even at this late day, after the
letter had become a matter of ancient
history, the Atlanta Journal says, on
Tuesday: 1T is difficult to speak of
such a course in restrained and tenn
perate language. A member of the
administration, occupying a seat on
the railroad commission, which was
charged with vital responsibilities,
sitting every day almost within ear
shot of the governor, to whom he
might have personal access for pro-
per discussions at any moment, in
simulated into the private Office of the
governor letter which under no
rational construction on earth could
be regarded as anything but a threat
or bride on the one hand, or child
ish folly on the other"
The author of this remarkable edi-
tOrial, which represents a newspaper
corporation as being moved to fits
of anger and indignation about
matter with which the newspaper
was not itself personally concerned,
was evidently the Governor himself
The article is an apology for the
dismissal of Commissioner Brown such
as Governor Smith would be expected
to use.
A little further the Journal says:
''If there is any man in the state of
Georgia with red blood in his veins
who would have sat silent under the
threat or bride, such a man must en-
terrain a conception of manliness and
character which is by no means in
keep ing with the requirements of
the high Office occupied by the chief
executive Of the state"
Please don't anybody say boo" at
our Governor. He just won't stand

ANERICUs AND THE SEABOARD

News that the Seaboard has laid off
a number of men at the shops was re-
ceived yesterday with regret by the
people of Americas. This is the first
reduction made here, and it was
hoped that there would be none.
Certainly of all the Seaboard
shops. the Americas plant should be
the one to be left intact. And this
statement is based on many reasons
which could not be urged in favor of
any other location.
In the first place the old shops and
grounds were given to the road abso-
Iutely without cost, and we believe
there was also a cash bonus in addi-
ton. For many years the shops were
not charged for water and even now
the rate is merely nominal.
Then Americas was the point where
the first rail was laid for the original
Seaboard, running between Savannah
and Montgomery. The patriotic gen.
crosby of a multitude of citizens Of
Americas and Sumter county made
possible the inception of the road it
self. In the reorganization scores of
fortunes of Americas people were
swept away, but the road had been
made possible Building was first
carried TO Lumpkin on the west, and
then started towards Savannah, where
the road finally arrived, completing
the $40 miles from Savannah to
Montgomery. The original road was in
fact known as the Savannah, Ameri-
Gus & Montgomery.
The matter is to be taken up with
the Seaboard officials by the Board of
Trade and the claims of Americas
presented. There will not likely be
any difficulty in proving to the man
agement that Americas has first
claim for her shops, and that the
force here should be maintained to
the full limit regardless of what re-
trenchments need be made elsewhere.
And when all of the facts are consid-
cred, the plea Of Americas cannot be
classed as a selfish one by any means.
1t is not putting the case
too strong to say that the
Seaboard owes very much to
Americas, its birthplace and its
Istaunch friend through all these
years. That the generosity of Amer
icus from the first until now should
weigh for nothing in determining the
places where retrenchment shall be
made, we do not believe.

Joe Brown a Sure Winner
Savannah Press.)

Little Joe Brown will be the next
governor of Georgia as sure as the
Democratic primary is held on the 4th
day of June" said Judge III. ID. D.
Twiggs this morning.
Judge Twiggs has just returned
from visit through different sections
Of the state and he bases his opinion
upon his talks with the people he
met while on the trip.
I have been in Dodge, Wilcox, Tel
fair and other counties in that sec
ton myself" said the Judge this
morning, and | have seen people
from all sections Of the state and
they tell me the Brown sentiment is
sweeping everything before it.
know in the sections I have visited it
is very hard to find a Hoke Smith
supporter.
There seems to have been COM
plete reversal of public opinion with
in the past two years. 1t may have
been because the people do not think
Brown was given the proper treat
ment when he was displaced, and in
tend to give him a sympathetic vote,
but my belief is that it is a protest
against what the people look upon
as the insincerity of Hoke Smith. He
seems to have, endeayored to attach
himself to every popular movement,
even if it required complete change
in his attitude to do so.
Judge Twiggs thinks there is little
doubt of Chatham county going for
Brown, and he says the reports he
receives from Macon are that there
are few Hoke Smith men to be found
there.
tom Watson will do him as much
harm by his opposition this year as
he did him good through his support
in 1906" he says. There are 10000
former Populists in Georgia who will
vote as Tom Watson says, and Wat
son will never again lend a hand to
aid Hoke Smith politically or other
wise | have this from two sources
that cannot be wrong.
Charley Northen, the secretary of
the senate, was in Savannah on Sat-
urday, and he told me the Atlanta
sentiment is Overwhelmingly for
Brown. If the cities are for Brown,
and the country is as strong for him
in Northern Georgia as I have found
it in South Georgia, he has every
reason to believe that he will be
elected"
