ASKS AMERICUS
TO COOPERATE
FOR new TRAIN
MATTER BEFORE COUNCIL
viii be Passed Upon at To.
nights Meeting

The matter as to whether an addi-
tional passenger train will be put on
this division of the Central railway will
be determined next week in the effort
made to that end before the railroad
commission, and Americas is very
greatly interested in the result, as are
all the towns between Fort Gaines and
Smithville, which territory it is pro.
posed to cover with the added tran
service.
Mayor Lowrey, of Americas, received
a communication yesterday from the
citizens committee at Shellman, re-
questing that the Americas council
adopt resolutions asking the estab-
lishment of the train service desired,
and also that a representative of the
Americas council attend the meeting in
Atlanta next week, when the railroad
commission considers the case.
Mayor Lowrey stated that he would
bring the request of the ShellRan
committee to the attention of city coun-
Gil at the meeting tonight AS is well
understood, the proposition is to have
he Central railway put on a morning
train from Fl. Gaines to Smithville,
where passengers could connect with
the morning train operated between
Albany, Americas and Macon. This
new service would afford the people of
Fit. Gaines, Cuthbert, Dawson, She'll
man and Bronwood an opportunity %
visit Americas and return home the
same day. Every city affected is MAX
ing strong effort to secure the new
train service, and the presentation Of
the case before the railroad commits
sion next week will be interesting.

FIGHTS SHARK
WITH KNIFE

NEW YORK. July 23.-Captain
Clark, of the Panama steamer Ad-
vance. In today from the Canal Zone,
tells a thrilling story Of battle with
sharks from the overturned bottom of
a sailboat, with only jackknife for a
weapon,
While Captain Clark was at the
isthmus he decided that he would go
out for a sail on Limon Bay Panama.
Everything went smoothly until he
shifted his rudder to 20 on the port
tack. Then 1t was apparent that the
wind was too strong for the spread
OF canvas he carried. With the boat
at right angles 10 the vigorous breeze
the craft capsized.
No sooner was the captain In the
water than there was a rush of man.
eating sharks for him. He is a heavy
vigorous man, and he struck out with
his best and strongest stroke for the
overturned boat. He pulled himself
up on the bottom just In advance Of
the leading shark. Then with his
knees huddled together he got out his
large jackknife. The bottom of the
boat acorse at its highest point. only a
few minutes above the surface of the
water. and occasionally wave would
wash over 1t.
1t appeared to the sharks that there
was good chance of getting a meal
of the captain, SO they made a rush.
for the boat. In order to seize hlns
the sharks were obliged to turn on
their backs. This gave Clark his onl
chance, as the breast of the shark
was exposed when a final rush was
made. The first shark received a stab
wound in the breast. 1t drew back
surprised. Two more knife thrusts
ended this attacker.
While the captain was no longer
attacked, his position Was precarious,
for the shacks circled about the boat,
their fins occasionally showing, con.
tent TO walt until, through weari-
ness, he would slip into the water.
His shouts brought native canoe

when the captain tried to get into

the transfer was made close 10 shore.

MIsSOURPs ROAD DAYS.

A novel plan is being put into ex-
ecution in Missouri to-day, in the ef-
fort to have the who3e state to turn
out to build good roads. The govern
or issued proclamation and the news
papers have ben full Of the plan. Not
that the plan itself is novel, for many
communities have taken a day off to
tear up the roads and get sunburned; !;
but novel because the whole state is
prespiringly digging away at its thoro-
ughfares on two deys set apart for
that purpose.
Doubtless much good will be accomp-
lished. That is to say that consider
able dirt will be moved about. But
the experience of these communities
in these road bees has generally been
short of the expectation, for the very
simple reason that no maintainance
is provided for the roads after the
work has been expended, and the effort
is soon lost: Townspeople go out and
blister themselves, go lame for week
and furnish enough Precipitation to
sprinkle the road every day for a
month, only to find after they have re-
covered sufficiently to go out and ex-
anime the result that it isn't there
1t is hoped that Missouri will have
better success. But what is really
needed to build road is intelligent
direction. competent. seasoned labor
money to pay for It and maintenance
after it is built.-Oklahoman. D.
