Charter Members Named
For Proposed Railroad.

At a called meeting Of the Board
Iof Trade held yesterday afternoon il
was decided that Messrs. G. R.
Ellis and W. NJ Crook should be
selected as charter members Of the
lnoyement now on foot to organize
a new railroad which is to lead from
ST. Mary's Fla. !, to Americas.
The selection of Messrs. Ellis and
Crook as thetwo representatives from
| Americusfor the organization Of the
new road shows that Americas is
vitality interested in Reorganization
and that this city win do its part to
help in the perfecting of the organi-
zation that, it is hoped, will make
the new road a success and an adj
dition of worth to. the railroad faci-
lities now enjoyed by the city.
There are to be representatives
from SIX of the towns and cities that
are interested in the project, Ameri-
Gus, Ashburn. Triton, Oakfeld,
Nashville and Doles being interested
| in this way. From Americas, Ash
burn, Tifton and Nashville there
will be two representatives each on
the board Of charter members, while
Oakfeld and Doles will have one
representative each, making a board
OF ten charter members.
It was decided at the recent meet
ing held in Triton that after the
charter members had been selected,
organization Of the new road would
be perfected as early as possible.
The name of the new road viii be
the Atlantic and Northwestern, as it
makes direct connection with the
Atlantic seaboard and runs mainly
| in the direction indicated. 1t will
have mileage Of nearly 200 miles,
| if it is completed as now proposed.
After the charter has been secured
and steps viii be taken to secure il
as soon as possible, the subscriptions
for stocks will be called for. II
seems from the interest manifested
here that there will be representa-
tive stock subscriptions to be made
from Americas to the new enter
prise, which should prove distinct
success, if it is properly promoted
and advertised Interest in all the
towns and cities mentioned as well
as in other places mat will be in
.cluded in the number through which
the new road will pass, is very great
and thoroughly enthusiastic.

done, as when performed by the

pected Of the young school children,
and it is not fair to shut them out,

MONEY IN TREASURY
cTATE HAS ABOUT s25o,ooo CASH ON
HAND.
Officials Are Hopeful of Tiding Over
Until Taxes Begin to Come In.
Heavy Pay Roll November.

Jackson money on hand in the
State treasury is steadily growing small
er and smaller. Tuesday, when the
books at that office were balanced, there
was shown to be on hand only little
more than $250,000
While the treasury officials are hope
full of tiding over the time until the
annual tax settlements begin to come in
without going completely broke, there
are to be some heavy expenditures met
in the interim, and it is not ct all GER
tain that Treasurer Stovall won't face
an empty cash box some time in the
near future.
The tax settlements are not likely to
get started in before December. In the
meantime there is heavy pay roll to
meet on November /. The State peni-
tentiary will turn in some money in
November, in all Likelihood, but it is
almost certain that the Confederate pen
sion funds due to be paid out in that
month will leave the State without any
funds whatever, if, indeed, they are able
TO meet the pensions when due.

The army worm has not been found in

Picking has made satisfactory progress
during the past week. Farmers state,
however, that the weather has been rath-

considerable shedding, and, on the whole,
the crop has not made any progress dur

Practically all of the oil mills in the
state have started their seasons run,

CONWcTS LYNCH COMRADE
He Attacked Aged Woman Who Was
Kind to Prisoners.

Rawlings, Wyo.-Details of the lynch
ing of Frank Wigfall, the negro assaiF
ant of Mrs. Esther tGranny) Higgins,
known as the prisoners friend,' by the
convicts of the jail here, while the pris-
on authorities were holding off a party
of would-be citizen lynchers, may never
be known.
"The first man who squeals is the next
man hung" silenced all the convicts and
prison guards examined by a coroner's
jury. The jury gave up the task with
out learning anything.
Many of the prisoners remembered
acts of kindness of Granny" Higgins
and the negro's remarks brought their
anger to a pitch that soon resulted in
his DEATH
Not until the cries of the imprisoned
guard brought other guards was the
lynching known to any except to thosf
who took part in it.
