ReceiYership of the Brunswick Road

The appointment of receivers of the Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic Railroad company is not surprising. The road is new, and it's full earning capacity has not been developed The failure, too, of its financial agents, Henry w. Poor & Co.,, came inoppor- timely, and no doubt it was considered best to appoint receivers in order to conserve and protect all interests in it. The road had well-nigh overcome a panic and period of depression, never staying construction, and the hope ex- isted that a resort to a receivership would not be necessary.
 Now that receivers have, however, been appointed, let us hope reorganiza- tion will not be long delayed and that when it comes the road that President Atkinson had striven to build will be left in an independent position. This district needs a second line to the South Atlantic seaboard, and inde pendence in this line is all-im portant
 The appointment of President Atkin son and Vice President Arkwright as receivers of the road in a friendly suit, is promising.

 The conclusion is irresistible that the prince regent is endeayoring to establish a Manchu autocracy and that troublesome days are in store for the Celestial empire. The prince regent is young man and by no means a strong man. His reactionary policy will awaken a pro-Chinese movement, and years of strife may follow. The powers were all committed to a sup port of the plans of Yuan she-Kai, with the possible exception of Japan, and the developments of the next few weeks in China will be watched with interest.

 LIVELY STREET FIGHT

Columbus Ga, January 4.-(Special)- Pulling big pistol from his pocket, Dr. s. J. Wyie snapped 1t twice in the face of Tom Dudley his brother-in-law, and than pointing the weapon downward pulled the trigger again, with the result that the cartridge exploded and the bull let went ripping through Dudley's right thigh, after having made a pop call at the left knee.
 The shooting occurred at noon in front of the Rankin house, in the heart of the business district and created quite a sensation. The two men had been on bad terms due to some disagreement of a private nature. Dudley says that they made an engagement to meet yesterday and fight it out without weapons, and that Dr. Wylie broke the engagement.
 Meeting him today Dudley accosted him with the remark, Doe. how about the engagement?' whereupon he says Dr. Wylie drew his pistol and began snappins it in his face. Dudley was unarmed. His wound Is not considered serious. Dr. Wylie gave a $500 bond. He is promi- nent physician practicing in Columbus and .esiding in Girard. Ala Dudley is a river pilot.
