Americas, Ca, November 3, 1909.
MORE REASON FOR us TO GET
TO WORK.

The report comes. apparently we'll
authenticated, that strong effort Is
to be made to extend the Albany &
Northern railroad on from Albany to
the Gulf, opening up fine section of
virgin country and conducting to the
building up of Albany and Cordele.
Is this not another reason why
Americas should bestir itself?
The continued growth of Cordele
and Albany must initiate against the
expansion of the trade of Americas,
unless we are likewise enterprising
and by means of new railroad bring
a new section of country tributary to
this city, or by the erection of cot
ton mill, or other manufacturing en-
terprises, add to the producing and
consuming population here
We have an opportunity in the pro-
posed road to Byromville to get into
direct connection with the A, B. & A.
railroad system, giving US another
outlet to the sea and at the same time
assisting in the developing of con-
siderable extent of country of which
Americas will be the natural trading
point.
This is not project requiring any
vast sum of money. 1t is well under
stood that Americas will not be called
on to bear but a portion of the burden,
and that not an excessive one.
We have talked of the A, B. & A.
connection for some time now. We
have also talked of the cotton mill.
Are we going to merely talk them To
death or are we really going to do
something with one or the other, or
both?

AN EXPUR6ATED EDITION OF
SMITHS MESSAGE.

That's a funny report that comes
from Atlanta, that the copy of his
last message that ex-Goy. Smith is
sending out to the voters of the state
is a different document from the one
he sent to the legislature.
1t appears that Attorney General
Hart, since the message was sent to
the legislature, has done something
that is not especially incense to the
nostrils of the former governor Ac-
cordingly all complimentary refer
ences to that worthy state official
have been carefully blue penciled from
the copy of the message now being
circulated through the state.
Attorney General Hart now knows
what it is to feel the righteous wrath
and be brought under the condemna-
ton of the ex-governor.
And then the reference to the au-
diting of the state treasurer's books
by Richardson is likewise omitted.
Since that expert accountant made his
report to Gov Brown on the state of
the treasury he seems to have fallen
from the high esteem in which he was
formerly held and the blue pencil has
ruthlessly stricken all illusions to his
service under the Smith administra-
ton,
But this is not the first time the
voters of Georgia have been treated to
an expurgated edition of the views
of the former governor. Indeed, blue
penciling former opinions seems to
have become a fayorite pastime with
that estimable gentleman.

OF THOSE WHO WALK ALONE.
Orchard Bnrton.l

t1N4SAdAu buEAU4t
Women there are on earth, most sweet
and high,
Who lose their own, and walk bereft
and lonely,
Loving that one lost heart until they
die,
Loving it only.
And so they never see beside them
grow
Children, whose coming is like
breath of flowers;
Consoled by subtler loves the angels
know
Through childless hours.
Good deeds they do, they comfort and
they bless
In duties others put off till the NOR
ROM
Their look is balm, their touch is ten
derness
To all in SORROW.
Betimes the world smiles at them, as
'twere shame,
This maiden guise, long after
youths departed;
But in Gods Book they bear another
name
The faithful hearted
Faithful in life, and faithful unto
death,
Such souls, in sooth. illumine with
luster splendid
That glimpsed, glad land wherein, the
Vision saith,
Earths wrongs are ended.
