BY ANDERSONVILLE
HIGHWAY SHOULD GO
So Argues Mr.. BGazIGy Of
Lee County

The Times-Recorder is in receipt of
the following self-explanatory letter
fro'u Mr. C. H. Beazley, of Leesburg:
Our section is making pull for the
great highway, and well it should. 1t
will be a great advertisement and de-
veloper to the country wherever it
goes BIT it does not necessarily fol-
low because a committee says a GER
tain route is the official route that the
tray ell will all follow it. The travel is
dependent upon conditions of travel,
sights along the road hotels and other
things. AS a rule the counties are
building good roads from Macon 20
albany; this will not drive off travel,
but there is one sight along that road
that if Sumter county, and we hear i.
is going to do so, takes proper cog
rizancc OF will bring the travel largely
this way in spite of what the decision
may be as to the official route.
Even in a day of rush and money,
sentiment still plays large part in
this life; there is no way to eradicate
its influence or prevent its power.
TAT Andersonville are the graves of
$1,000 federal prisoners. Each of
them has some relatives of friends,
perhaps, Each of these friends per-
them has some relatives or friends,
The tale has been told until the
name of Andersonville is known where
Sumter and Lee and Dougherty are
unknown Every student of history in
the public schools knows of it.
THE governors of Northern states
have been appointed to come with their
commissions and unveil monuments to
the dead of their respective common
Wealths until the grounds are full of
historic interest Old mothers and
fathers have told around their fire
sides both North and South of the pris-
ohers and Captain Wirz until the
place is famous.
The human mind is so made that
it turns naturally to that which has
been presented to it and desires to see
it. The psychological fact remains
(nO matter what the inducement in
larger towns) to view such as may be
shown in the small famous place like
Andersonville
Now, if this road is run through
Andersonville and the route is adver-
tised to the world as the anderson
vile Route" will not this trend of hui
man nature make it the popular route
in spite of any official PRONUNCIATION?
Try the experiment and see; given
the good roads and the thing will an
swer itself, and the route become a
greatly travelled one in any way It
can be fixed"

reached point near a lane leading
into the yard of R. J. McIlwain, the
negroes suddenly sprang out from
behind some bushes and vines into
the sidewalk in front of him, and one
of them. with an oath, demanded
that he throw up his hands, where
upon he cried loudly for help. The
alarm was heard by w. G. Thomson,
among others, who lives nearby, and
he promptly went to the mans res
cue Evidently frightened by the
cries and the approach of Mr.. Thorn

Careful Congregations.

Lockport, N. Y, May 20.-Some
queer reasons are given by congrega'
tions for refusing to "call' certain
ministers, according to the report OF
the pastoral supply committee of the
State convention of Congregational
lists, now in session here.
One candidate was objected to by
a congregation because he crossed
his legs in the pulpit; another con
gregation objected to the style II
which a minister combed his hair;
another rejected candidate because
"he walked up the center aisle as
though he were self-satisfied."
The committee says that 1t IS o"'
ing to the inadequacy of salaries tha'
it has been impossible to provide
pastors for more than 100 churches
in various parts of the State. The
average salary in the vacant pastor
ates is $500 a year, and the hlgn
cost of living makes it Impossible
even for a bachelor preacher to live
within the income, according to the
committee.

Band Organized.

The young men of the city met
last week and organized a band. Mr..
C. w. Rentz is president of the Or
ganization, -Ir. Olar Aver secretary,
and Mr.. u. G.. Hutto librarian. The
young men have gone into this thing
with the determination to make it
a success and we believe they will.
They have a mighty fine man as
president, and he will certainly do
everything possible to make the band
an institution of which Bamberg may
be proud, but he must have the back
ing of the members in order to de-
velop a fine musical organization.
There are at present twenty-five
young men who have joined, and it
is hoped that the band will consist
of this number of musical instru-
ments. The instruments will be or
dered at once, when practicing will
begin. The business men of the city
should assist the boys liberally in a
financial way, for fine band is a
valuable asset to town.

Begin Work on New Road.

Work was commenced yesterday
afternoon in Bamberg on the rail-
road from that city to Ehrhardt.
This is not only of Importance to
the people of Bamberg, but will also
be of more than passing interest to
this city. This road is being con-
structed by the Ajax Company, of
whichsMr. w. C. Wolfe, Of this city,
is one of the incorporators. The en-
tire length of the road is only about
IA miles, but it will open up Sec
ton of country which has been neg
Iected for years, and which has had
but poor railroad facilities. When
this road has been completed, there
is a. belief that it will be continued
on to Denmark or some other point
on the A. G.. L. railroad, and If this
is done, then this city will be given
a new line of road into Charleston,
Beaufort, and on to Savannah. The
distance from Bamberg to the A. c.
L. road is not more than three miles.
It is understood from a reliable
source that the work of grading the
new road will be finished up within
80 days. The surveying has all been
completed, and the rights OF way
have been secured, and the actual
work on the road is under way. A
large force of hands will commence
work on Monday. This is road
which Orangeburg has desired to see
put through for number of years.
The work on the Orangeburg Rail-
road Company's line to North is be-
ing carried on to completion also.
Much of the grading has been COM
pleted, and it was announced this
morning that the road would be
ready for operation by the first OF
January, 1912. With this road COM
pleted, and the new railroad from
Bamberg to Ehrhardt linked up by
a connection to the A. G. L., this
section of the State will be amply
supplied with railroads, and the good
results will be sure to follow.-Or-

STRIKE IMPENDS.
Firemen Said to be Determined to
Fight.-Confer in Washington.

Greensboro, N. c., May 22.-What
is alleged to be an impending strike
of flremen on all lines of the South.
ern railways reached an acute stage
tonight when a delegation of the lo-7
cal division, Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Firemen, left for Washington,
to confer with President Finley and
representatives from each of the 19
division lodges of the system in re-
gard to the wage scale. Members Of
the local division tonight declared
that unless a recent demand of the
brotherhood for a 10 per cent wage
increase and other consideration is;
granted, a general strike will be
called 1t is also stated that strike
ballots have been taken on all of the
10 divisions of the road, and that IN
every case except two the ballot has
resulted in favor of a strike in case
the Southern officers refuse to ac-;;
cede to a part at least of the de-
mands. The increase demanded, at
is said, involved s500,000 increase
in the Southern payroll monthly.
General Superintendent Hnthchinsi
of the Northern division Of the
Southern refused to discuss the situ-.
alton, though he admitted that deA..
mands had been made by the fre-5
men. He left for Washington to-

No Two Sessions.

Superintendent E. P. Allen, of the
graded school, informs us that there
will be no change in the sessions fol
next year. This means that the idea
of having two sessions day has
been abandoned, and the present
plan of one session day will be fol-
lowed. The exercises of school will
begin at $50 each morning, and the
children will be dismissed at two
O'Clock in the afternoon. The two
sessions a day plan did not meet with
favor among a number Of the pat
rons and it was thought best not to
attempt it at present.
