MANY new RAILROADS
APPLIED FOR CHARTERS
$55,OOO,OOO capitalization is
Represented

Atlanta, January 4.-Figures in the
office of the secretary of state cov-
ering the years just closed, show that
during 1911, exactly twelve applica-
tions for charter were made for new
railroad companies, representing a
total proposed development covered
by $55 100000.
The proposed companies represent
ed practically every section of the
state, north, east, south and west.
Eleven of the companies contemplated
developments requiring the issuance
of $4,000 to 100000 of capital stock
each. The immense bulk of the total
of $55, 100000 is made up by the ap-
plication of the Georgia Railway &
Power Company, which proposes to
issue $54,000,000 of stocks and bonds
for the development of inter-urban
railways, and the merging and devel-
opment of awter power in eastern
and northern Geargia.

BASKET BALL LEAGUE
Will Be REORGANIzED
Meeting For General Practice
to Be Held Tonight

Notwithstanding their recent defeat
by the Mercer team, the local basket
ball players will meet tonight for n
practice game and for the re-organi-
cation of the local league, which was
temporarily disbanded on account OF
the holiday season.
There will be no match game to-
night but a general practice by the
players. The game that has been con-
templated for some time with Dawson
has been postponed indefinitely, but
the locals hope to meet that team lat
er on, as the rivalry between the two
teams is as strong as ever.
The fact that the game with Mer
Ger came just at the time when the
team had been disbanded for several
weeks on account of the Christmas
holidays is assigned by Secretary
Dunn, of the Y. NJ. C. A., as one i'm
pOrtant reason why it was defeated.
During the remainder of the season
the team will be in much better shape
to tackle out-of-town teams as team
work and general practice will be
more carefully attended to.
1t is expected that the Y. NJ. c. A,
team will be considerably strengthen
ed by the addition of Boisclair Kiker,
lxtrI Go, ,oI - A nt,i
Gus, and who will be seen in the line
up of the Y. NJ. c. A. team in the fu-
tue. 1t is also hoped that "TippO'
Peddy will soon come to Americus to
live. If so, he will make another
strong addition to the local team
which should then be able to hold its
own with any team against which
it may be pitted.

THIS WEATHER

FOR RAINFALL
HEAVY RAINS In DECEMBER
Weather For Month Was 9th.
eFWiSe Normal

1t isn't often that residents of this
section have as much rain to wade
through as was given them during the
month of December just closed
Only the oldest inhabitant can re-
call the time when there was wetter
December than that of 1911, and even
the oldest inhabitants aren't fast about
coming forward and talking about it.
AS the records at the local weather
station go back for only two years, it
may be that last December's rains
were the heaviest ever experienced
here.
The heaviest rainfall experienced
during the month on a single day was
on December %, when 19 inches fell.
For December day that is some mois-
ture! The lowest temperature of the
month was on the first day, when the
mercury fell to % degrees. The max
imum temperature was rs degrees.
The summary of mean and maximum
temperatures for the month, some are
omitted because no record of them
evists, is as follows:

TOMORROW WOOD STARTS HIS
FACE TO FACE SALE
Says He VIII Make Cents Look Like
Dollars to Customers.

Tomorrow Mr.. w E. Wood begins
his great sale at his store on Forsyth
street that will last just seven days,
closing on Saturday, January 13.
About year ago Mr.. Wood put on
a sale that will be forever famous in
the commercial annals of Americus.
At that time so great was the crowd,
so determined the rush to get in on
the bargains, that the doors were
swept off their hinges in the rush that
marked the opening morning.
This sale will be equally notable in
the shape of bargains. Mr.. Wood an
nounces some of the prices in his hall

course, it is impossible to give but a
few of them. The goods are here
awaiting inspection, the prices are
down to tempting figures, and the
friends of the house will be welcomed
to take advantage of the opportunity
beginning tomorrow morning.

FREE E-FOR-ALL FIGHT
AROSE In MOYER CASE
Three Participants Well Roast
ed In the Encounter

Atlanta, January 4.-Hot roasts
were handed to three prominent men
in the Charles W. Morse investigation
at the federal prison. People are
wondering which of the three has
been harmed.
Morse got his from the prison war
den and the records, which showed
that he had violated prison rules by
getting hold of contraband money, and
that he had tried to give the warden
$1,000 of it, presumably as a bribe
Warden William H. Meyer got his
from Editor F. L. Seely, who was on
the spot at the hearing. He accused
Meyer of treating Morse in the most
reprehensible and unfair way, after
the incident of the $1,000, in some
way got to the department of justice
Mr.. Seely called Mr.. Meyers ye-
racity into question on a number of
points, and charged the warden with
sending out reports prejudicial to
Morse. '
Editor F. L. Seely got his. War
den Meyer said fatty that the things
published in Mr. Seely's paper about
Morse's severe punishment were un-
true, and that if any more such things
were printed he would hold Mr.. Seely
personally responsible for it. Mr..
Meyer also said, without attempting
to veil the meaning under his words
that he thought Mr.. Seely would have
a mighty hard time to convince the
public that his interests in Morse were
entirely unselfish.
So there you are. Three men roast
ed. Which will it hurt most2 That
is the question people here are asking.
1t is answered in various ways. Mr..
Seely Is a newspaper editor. He is
sure to get "cussed" some times. All
editors are. 1t probably won't make
much difference to him. Warden Moy.
er is not dependent on public opinion
for his job. His fate is in the hands
of the department of justice, and the
investigation didn't bring out any
thing that the department of justic,
did not already know. 1t is assume,
that the investigation and informa
ton given out by Meyer were witt
the knowledge and consent of tina
very department, so he won't be hur-
it is argued.
That leaves Charles w. Morse. Ant
the pretty definite opinion here is tha
Morse is the goat Public sympath,
has been one of Morse's stronges
cards. 1t is assumed that the feeling
of the American public is bound Il
have some weight with a presiden
who will shortly stand before the pub
lie as candidate. The story tha
Morse manipulated the stocks, at leas
once. and had has hand on Wall stree
stretched through the prison bars. ha
gone all over the United States. Wit
it has gone the statement showing
that he was never punished at tn
federal prison as severely as sympa
thizing reports had said.

When one of the sect, Miss CAIRO Da-

grant the permit, but informed the la
dy that the followers of her religious
belief. had just as much right to hold

that they pleased, but that they coull

new YEAR HAS
BEGUN At The
LOCAL COLLEGE
With MANY new STUDENTS
Growth Of Attendance Is Sure
and Steady

With many new students already en-
rolled, the new year has begun at the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
chanical College under most favorable
auspices More than a score of new
students have already entered the
school since the close of the fall term.
The growth OF the attendance at the
Agricultural College is different from
that at many schools, as it is much
steadier than that shown by many such
institutions. For this reason the num-
Der of new students will constantly
grow now for some time. Those who
have just enrolled themselves will be
Joined by many others in the course of
a short time.
In fact new students will continue to
join in the courses of study at the coll
lege now until very nearly the close of
the session. For this reason, the num-
ber of additional students named
above which is probably about twenty
five at this time, will be very greatly
increased before the end of the month.
The total enrolment now is not less
than 175 AMI it is rapidly approaching
200.
Every student who can be given ac-
commodations is being received by
the school authorities, though the ia
cilities for handling additional stu
dents are daily growing smaller. 1t
is hoped, however, that the school
will be able to accommodate all the
pupils who wish to enter this term, as
the new building should be completed
before the year is over, thereby af-
fording much larger and more ade-
quate accommodations to the students
who apply for entrance next fall.
So thoroughly organized is the work
of the school that the new year began
with but little variation in the rou-
tine of work, which has been taken
up mainly in the shops and school
rooms on account of the fact that the
ground has been too wet for farm
demonstrations in the open AS soon
as the effects of the recent rains have
passed, the out-of-door work will be
resumed for the new year.

COMMON TOWELS WENT OUT
WITH COMMON DRINKING CUPS

New Haven, Conn, Jan. 4.-Wlth the
New Year there went into effect
throughout Connecticut law putting
a ban on public drinking cups, and as
a result no one can get drink in any
public institution unless he has his
individual cup. The common towel
also comes under the ban of the new
law, and not one hangs in accustom-
ed place now. At the last session of
the Connectucit legislature law was
passed ordering all boards of health
to do away with the common cups and
towels.
