AGAIN IN SIDETRACk is
TRAIN 7 TO AMERICUS
Still Another Order Issued
Yesterday.

"Off again, on again, gone again,
Finnegan," the status Of that now
famous Central train No. 7, Macon
to Americus, is about as indefinable
as the whereabouts of that celebrated
Celt whose cognomen is embraced in
the comic ballad.
viii Albany get the train? She
will. Will the train go to Albany? 1t
will not. You buy your ticket and
take your choice
What is really going to be done
about that famous Number Seven?
Twice within a week or two con-
fiicting reports relative to the res
toration of the schedule between Am
ericus and Albany have been given
and as many times rescinded. Even
the Railroad Commission took a shot
at it.
That autOcratic body ordered the
schedule resumed last Sunday
The railway company was not pre-
pared to put the train back on such
short notice, but it was stated that
it would go on again next Sunday,
l4th, with change of schedule miss
ing the Atlanta connection.
This suited Americus all right
with the one exception of missing
the Atlanta connection in Macon, a
fact which would inconvenience many
here who use this train.
But at all events AmeriCus was
perfectly willing for the railroad
company to adjust it's business to the
best advantage. It's their train.
Everyone here was awaiting the
proposed change on next Sunday, with
through schedule to Albany, when
yesterday came the announcement
that the schedule would remain as
at present, and that famous Central
Seven" would not go beyond Ameri-
Gus.
In other words the present status
quo" will be maintained.
The Central Railway is averse to
resuming the schedule of No. 7, be-
tween AmericuS and Albany upon
the ground that it is unremunerative,
and has been operated at a dead
loss to the company Despite this
fact the Commission ordered the
train restored.
Between Macon and Americus the
train pays very we'll, and upon this
showing the railway company was
granted permission some time ago
to operate this train only to AmeriCus
there being two other daily trains
to Albany, which were deemed
enough.
Then came the order restoring the
old schedule through to Albany, and
subsequent contrary orders, and fin
ally that issued yesterday continuing
the schedule now in force.

WILLIAMS A WINNER IN
RACE FOR THE PLACE
Second Primary Not Nee
eSSdry Now.

The hundreds of Americus suppor-
ters and friends of Captain Wiley
Williams, in his race recently for
prison commissioner We're gratified
yesterday at the announcement that
Mr.. R. E. Dawson had Withdrawn,
and the race would not to have to be
run again.
And thus is settled vexed prob
lem, one that threatened the state
with another election next week.
AS is we'll understood, while Mr..
Williams in the recent state primary
beat Mr.. Dawson by 1000 votes he
did not receive a majority" of all
the votes cast
This fact, under the ridiculous ruI-
ing or the state committee, necessi-
tated another election between the
two candidates receiving the highest
vote, and preparations were made
for such election next week between
Messrs. Williams and Dawson.
Then came the announcement that
Mr.. Dawson in view of the fact that
Mr.. Williams was clearly the choice
of the people, would withdraw his
claims thus avoiding another primary.
There has been rather an over
dose of politics administered to Geor-
gia. The people are heartily tired and
want to get their minds on something
else. Mr.. Dawson probably appre-
ciated this fact, and the people will
be grateful to him.
The term of office of prison commits
sioner is six years and the office pays
$4,000 annually. The board meets
twice a month, so it will not be nee
essary for Captain Williams to change
his residence from Columbus.

BIG BOOM IN SHIPMENT
OF FRUIT TO NORTH
AmeriCuS is Sending Gar
loads, With Others.

In Americus, as elsewhere in the
fruit belt, peach shipments are on a
boom and it will not be long before
the Central handles from 100 to $50
cars a day. All of the cars being
shipped are consigned to the Western
and Eastern markets, with the ma
iority going to the Eastern markets.
The fruit is of a fine variety and is
unusually sweet.
ALI of these shipments are in ad-
vance of the regular session. Only
six car loads had been shipped on June
IS last year, and indications point to
about 600 being shipped by the same
time this year.
Indications point to the crop of Ell
berta peaches being ahead this seas
on and extremely large.
Usually the first ElbertaS appear on
the market about July /, but those who
know say the entire Elberta season
will be over by July 3 at most. The
crop is expected to appear about June
20, and is expected to run out by about
the usual time for appearing.
The Elbertas this season are eX-
pected to be better than they have ev-
er been.
On the whole the peach season in
Georgia will be banner one from all
standpoints, it seems. The estimate OF
the crop taken in the spring shows
the largest in the history of the state;
the fruit is unusually good in quality;
the season is earlier and will last
longer.
And the prize fruit of Georgia, the
'Elberta," will also be plentiful and
exceptionally good. Those who both
cred with peaches this season are
reaping a harvest
The abundance Of the Georgia crop
comes at an almost opportune time
for the supply is not killing the de-
mand and running the price of fruit
down.
Whereas Georgia is having a banner
year, other peach states, such as Tex
as, have suffered from late frosts and
from rain and are short in their crop.
This leaves the market wide open for
handling Georgia varieties and a ready
sale is being found for the fruit.
The prices on the Eastern and
Western markets is so good the Geor-
gia fruit raisers expect to ship less
fruit in the state than usual, saving
all good varieties for the other mar
kets.

NO BENEFIT FROM
CURRENCY BILL
National Banks Too Scarce
in This Section.

National banks in Atlanta and
North Georgia are preparing to form
a national currency association un-
der the new Aldrich-Vreeland cur
rency law.
In order to take advantage of
this law, there must be not less than
ten national banks in the association
with a capitalization of not less than
$4,000, 900.
Owing to the fact that national
banks are not as numerous in this
section of the state as are state banks,
there does not appear much likeli-
hood of an association of the kind
named being formed in Southwest
Georgia
The chief object of the association
is to issue a currency similar to the
recent clearing house certificates in
times of monetary stringency, or
when money is most urgently needed
for moving crops.
One of the advantages of the asso-
citation is stated to be that clearing
house certificates will be unquestion-
ably lawful, a point upon with au-
thOrities differed in the recent finan-
cial crisis. Each bank is limited in
it's issue to the difference between it's
bOnds-secured circulation and it's
capital and assets. The currency is
sued resembles bank certific ates.
On account of the high tax to be
placed on this currency, it will not
be used except in times of great
stringency. The rate of tax is: For
80 days, 5 per cent per annum; 60
days, 6 per cent; 80 days, per cent;
months, per cent; months 9 per
cent; months, 10 per cent.
In the case of state banks, it is
suggested that they may get some of
the benefits from the act by inducing
some national bank to divide up"
the state bank depositing approved
securities.
