The nogn'nees for state house Offices
Will all go through with a rush, md

There are several counties in North
GEORGIA, counties with a heavy repuh-
lican vote, in which no nominations
have yet been made for the legisla
ture, and in these counties there wi |
be some fighting both over the legis-
lative places and some of the county
offices.
Elsewhere in the state, however, anil
for the state offices, there will be no
contests, consequently there will be a
light vote polled.
Nobody takes any stock in the sug-
gestion of Thomas E. Watson that the
voters cast their votes against the
party nominee, Hoke Smith, and for
Governor Brown, AS the result Of
Watson's harangues there may be a
few votes cast against Mr.. Smith, bl:

Especial to Times-Recorder.)

Washington, d. c., September 28.-
A contest for better freight rates and
broader freight regulations is on BE-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission today by shippers of the CT
les of Atlanta, Macon, Cordele, Anne Il
Gus, Valdosta, Montezuma, Rome, Ath-
ems and Columbus.
1t is alleged that Nashville, Tenn..
enjoys a reshipping and rebilling priv
ilege which tie Georgia points 10
not have, and the the. Tennessee city
enjoys almost a monopoly on markets
in distant territory,
1t is urged that alleged regulations
constitute unjust discrimination
against iobbing points in Georgia in
favor of the grain producers of Ten
nessee and in favor of the markets in
which Nashville competes,
The complaint is directed against
the Nashville, Chattanooga and ST.

RESUME THEIR WORK
THIS MORNING
Want Is More Members
for Board of Trade.
That Would Make the
Memb ership 16O-
Every One Should
Help Push Americus

This morning the committee of the
Board of Trade charged with the i'm
portant duty Of soliciting new members
and infusing a renewal of interest
among those WHO may have become
lukewarm in the work of the organiza-
ton, will resume its work.
The committee is to meet at the
Times-Recorder office this morning at
8 o'clock. 1t is composed of Messrs
John w. Shiver, Charles l.. Ansley
E. Y. Andrews, c. ]. Clark, G. L. Will
laims, G. NJ. Bragg, J. w. Hightower,
F. B. Arthur, Thomas Gamble, Frank
J. Payne.
This is the second morning given
by the committee to this work of PRO-
noting the interests of Americus ans
Sumter county.
On the first morning devoted to the
work last week, twenty-five new mem
bers were added to the list of members,
making IA total enrolled membership
of 1876.
There is apparently no earthly rea-
son why the committee should not
meet with equal success, or even bet
ter, in it's go round this morning.
If 20 more members can be secured
today the membership of the Board
of Trade will be 100
The committee will not stop with
this, though, but will take up another
morning later with the view of pusN-
ing the membership closer to the de-
sired 200 mark.
If two hundred members are secured
there is no doubt that the Board OF
Trade can institute an ADVERTISING
campaign that will bring the oppor-
tunities Sumter county offers before
hundreds of thousands of desirable e
farmers in the South, West and North
From such advertising, continued
over a year, positive results would
undoubtedly accrue.
Sumter offers as fine advantages to
the home seekers as any county in the
most favored sections of the Unite
States. All that is necessary is 70
bring the fact before the home seekers
70 get them acquainted with the facts
to supply them with literature, telling
hem what can be found and what can
be done here
The members of the committee are
requested to meet at the Times-Re-
oorder Office at 9 o'clock this morning

GROUND is LIKE FLINT
IN WORKING OF ROADS
Mules Stalled in PULLING
Huge PlONS.
Work Now Carried On
Under Difficulties But
Large Force in Sum-
ter Keeps Busy.

Unless rain affords relief very soon
Sumter's road working forces may
have to resort to the use of dynamite
instead of mule might, in tearing IL
the red sod in the improved high
ways. Just now it is like working
in a rock quarry, so unusually har
is the ground.
Despite the obstacle Supt. Chris
tian is keeping his large force of
county convicts busy.
He has just completed the Bump
head" road from Americus to tie
Sumter and Schley county line, dis
tance of six or eight miles, and will
now shift his zebras to the Ander-
sonviEe road.
So difficult was the work just con-,
plted due to the hardness of tle
ground, that very frequently a team
of six or eight big mules could scarce
ly pull the plows through the red
clay. Where there has been no rain
for many weeks the ground is as harl
as adamant.
In resuming work upon the Ander-
sonville road operations will oeg.n
at the other end in the direction Of
Sweetwater creek, working south to-
wards Americus.
The main convict force of probably
fifty or sixty men will push this
works towards completion before tho
wet fall season sets in. This road
will be one of the most important of
the 125 mile system that makes Sum
.er's roads the best of any county N
the state.
This is the reputation Sumter enjoys
and it is worth untold thousands OF
dollars to her.
Supt. Christian also Lns a flying
squadron at work in the Seventeenth
district, and is putting the roads there
in as good condition as can be done
now.
Altogether the current year has
been rich in results in the way OF
7oad building, and Sumter county nov
possesses larger mileage and better
roads than are found in any part of
he South. This is saying a great deal,
but absolute facts justify the state
nent.
