Committee Report.


The report Of the Committee on
Organization showed the progress OF
the Richmond Mas hiugton Highway
Corporation so far. and summarized
tho previous meetings held by that
body. II emphasized the tact that an
organization, however. efficient. ac-
complishes nothing in itself. but IS
merely an agency through which the
enterprise of the community can he
directed to the achievement of de-
sired results. Nothing but the hard
est kind of work on the part OF the
business organizations of the city
could mako the enterprise a success.
on tho subject of Richmond's interest
in the highway it said:
we can not afford to Let this great
international Highway traverse any
other route than through Richmond.
w. cannot afford this because il,
would he directly Injurious in its cr-
fects upon this community, but 1t can
bc easily seen that the construction
OF this road would be directly and at.
1irmativcly profitable to the people of
j chmOnd. Tho :. tomobilc has come
to stay and is playing an important
part in the life and development of
puT people. The territory through
which this road Will pass is perhaps
tho most interesting from AN histori-
cal STANDPOINT Of any in the country
Richmond is the centre of this terri
tory. If proper highway facilities
Were furnished il would obviously
follow that the number of tourists
visiting Richmond and vicinity by
automobile in every wear would he
large and constantly increasing. If
looked al from no other standpoint.
The actual money expended by such
tourists in this community would
pay in very short time the entire
cost Of the construction OF such a
road.

Americus merchants as we'll as the
trading public are pleased at the
fact that the Central railway will es-
tablish tomorrow an additional tram
service on the Americus-Columbus di-
vision, which will prove of great
convenience and advantage, and which
has long been desired.
Tomorrow the Central will place on
a new passenger train leaving Co
lumbus at 1880 o'clock for Americus
and arriving here at 10 o'clock. Re-
turning, this train leaves Americus at
.3:45 p. m. for Columbus, arriving there
at 6:15 o'clock.
This new schedule, as will be noted,
will afford stay of nearly six hours
in Americus, and is of particular ad-
vantage to people of Buena Vista, La
Crosse. Ellaville, Putnam and Other
ing in Americus, affording them all the
time required.
Another train to be put on this dt
vision will leave Americus for Colum

advantages in going to that city. Thes,

Student From New York Wants
to Come Here

That the Forward Edition of The
Times Recorder did some excellent
work in the way of advertising the
Third District Agricultural and Me-
Chanical college has been proven be-
yond a doubt, as superintendent Col
ium has just received an application
from a young man seventeen years OF
age, who wishes to come from his
lone in Port Richmond, N. Y, to en-
ter the college next fall.
Superintendent Collum has received
a large number of inquiries from va
rious sections of the country, but the
inquiry from the New York lad is the
more unusual on account of the fact
that there are such excellent agricul-
tural schools in New York and on ac-
count of the fact that the place is St
far distant from Americus.
| 1t may be readily seen from this
how far and how widely the speca
edition has been circulated. Not onl!

HUDSON WAS

The MEETING
OF The STATE CONVENTION
Such is the Opinion of Mr..
Ferguson

Mr.. John T. Ferguson returned yes
terday from Atlanta, where with many
other Americus representatives he
looked in upon the recent state con-
vention and mingled with the political
leaders from over the state. Mr.. Fer
guson is one of Sumter's representa-
tiyes in the general assembly, and is
in touch with "the men who control
N affairs political in the state.
Mr. Ferguson is very strongly of the
opinion that the election of Tom Hud-
son as governor is more fully assured
as the result of certain proceedings
of that body, and believes that veFy
strong political strength which he
might not otherwise has had will be
thrown to him in the gubernatorial
campaign.
Mr. Ferguson is a good political
forecaster and from the gubernatorial
standpoint he is glad that things hap
pened among the political bosses in
Atlanta just as they did. That it will
rebound to Hudson's great advantage
Mr.. Ferguson feels quite sure.

attorney and recently elected judge
of the city court after a hot race, was
accidentally burned last night while
in his room at the residence of H. R.
Stovall with whom he boarded, and it
is feared that he will not recover.

table in the room and used for illum-
mating purposes. Accidentally, it IS
supposed, this lamp was overturned
by Mr.. Beazley in his room about S
