SEADOARD 6 CENTRAL LINES

Thefeupun

The presence in Americus a day or
two since of prominent officials of th6
Seaboard railway revived interest in
the suggestion of union passenger
station, which recently has been dis
cussed with greatest interest since tha
city council, by ordinance adopted.
accorded to the Central railway the
right and privilege of extending its
tracks along Hampton street, SOUTH
ward.
The officials of the Seaboard wh1
thus looked over the situation here
were Vice President c. r. Capps, Div
ision Supt. H. B. Grimshaw, Mr.. r. T.
Cheatham, assistant freight trafffs
manager; Mr.. B. C. Prince, assistant
general freight agent. and Mr.. NJ. A.
Calhoun, commercial agent in this
territory.
Upon arrival the officials looked
over several streets in the southwes-
tern section of Americus contiguous to
the Seaboards tracks and other prop.
|erty here. A lengthy consultation with.
several citizens followed.
While neither the officials or citizens
who met with them admitted that the
conference was in reference to tha
union depot proposition, there was
reason for the belief that this subject.
along with traffic matters, was dis
cussed Other incidents occurring
emphasized the belief that the two
roads would eventually get together
along the line suggested.
While it is true that the Central
railway has recently been servef
with injunction proceedings by prop
erty owners on Hampton street to
prevent the extension of tracks, as
proposed, it is hoped that the matter
raay be satisfactorily adjusted and the
proposed improvements, which wilt
greatly enhance realty values here, bs
permitted.
Americus sorely needs union pas
senger station, and there should be
unamity of action to that end among.
citizens and property owners.

Americus was again the destina-
tion Yesterday of the farmer with cot
ton to market, and more than one
thousand bales of cotton were added
to the total of 4,O65 bales already re-
ceived. thus running the total of new
bales for the season to date well above
the five thousand mark, which is far
in excess of receipts at this date last
season.
It was by far the best day of the
season in local cotton circles, and the
warehouses presented scene of un-
usual activity as the bales were rapid
lv weighed and sold at satisfactory
prices, and something like 100000 or
$4,000 new cotton" money put into
circulation among Americus mer-
chants.
Every bale represented value
ranging from go to $40, according
to weight and quality, and farmers
sold unhesitatingly.
Hundreds of farmers came to the
city along with the cotton bales, and
the business streets and stores were
crowded all day and we'll into the
evening. Merchants in all lines, and
especially the live ones who advertise
reported an excellent days business.
quite in contrast with the period of
summer dulIness recently ended.
Five thousand bales of cotton mar
keted and sold here already represent
a value Of probably $315, 1000, or even
more, as hundreds of bales were sold
at a price around IL 1-2c to II S-4c,
to say nothing of the added value of
$40 per bale from the sale of cotton
seed, quantities of which are being
sold at present prices.
1t was a red-letter day in cotton and
business circles generally, and pros
porous Americas" has many other such
days of carmine hue ahead of her
during the busy fall months.

LARGE INCREASE
IN ATTENDANCE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Other PUPILS HAVE ENTERED
And Attendance is Entirely
Satisfactory

The prediction made that the attend
ance at the Americas public schools
for the fall session would far exceed
that of the summer term is being veri-
fed in the daily registration of new
pupils until the total is already near
that of the closing session in May
while fully 200 to 300 additional pupils
will come in shortly, increasing the
grand total to figure probably in ex
cess of 1900.
Supt. Mathis stated yesterday that
other pupils were enrolled every day
durng the past week, fact gratifying
to the superintendent and friends c.
the schools alike. The attendance at
the colored school, as is usually the
case at this season, is not nearly up
to the average as yet
Of course, every department of the
white schools is crowded to the cap
acity point, several of the rooms ac,
commodating more than fifty pupils,
but this conditions will continue only
until the completion of the two addi :
tional buildings now under construc-
tion and which will be completed with
in three or four months, accommodate
ing 200 to 300 pupils.
The attendance at the High school
is already up to the 200 mark, and will
easily reach 250 before the end of the
fall term.
In fact, the attendance at the Ameri-
Gus schools is so large as to render
imperative the employment of three or
four additional teachers. Fifty pupils
crowded into one room is too great an
undertaking for one teacher, and this
condition prevails in several of the
grades of the Grammar school. This
addition will, without doubt, be made
when the new buildings are ready for
occupancy.
A most important branch, and one
the need of which has long been rec
ognized-that of domestic science
will be added to the schools shortly,
and will be under the direction of a
very capable instructor. Full details
of this important work will be given
the public shortly in special articles
bearing upon the subject of domestic
science.
All of the teachers in the schools are
now in charge of their respective de-
partments, and the pupils will get
down to real and earnest work this
week.
