LONDON, July 22.-Desperate fight.

Warsaw, according to reports from the
three capital cities of the powers in

balance, and Vienna and Berlin claim

AMER|CUs PLEASED
WITH SUCCESS Of.
BARGE OCMULcEE"
LENDS ENCOURAGEMENT WITH
PLAN TO CONNECT AMERICUS
WITH OCEAN BY COMBINED RAIL
AND WATER ROUTE

Americus is gratified to learn that
the first steel barge built at Macon to
ply the Ocmulgee river is a success.
This first barge "The Ocmulgee" ar
rived at Hawkinsville yesterday even>
ing about 500 o'clock having left Ma
con the day before at 2:9O p, m.
The success of this craft, which is
the first of its kind to operate upon
so small river as the Ocmulgee. is
doubly interesting to Secretary Hyman
of the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce, he being secre~
tary of the committee that raised the
$4,000 at Macon to operate the Macon
Atlantic Navigation Company Mr.. w.
T. Anderson, of the Macon Telegraph,
being the chairman of the committee.
In raising the money for this pro-
ject many times were the committee
told that the money they were raising
would be uselessly spent trying to ex-
pertinent in getting some kind of a
boat that would operate upon the Oc-
mulgee river. In the face of these
Doubling Thomases, the committee
kept steadily at work and raised the
cash, and then they commenced to look
around for the right kind of boat tha.
would do the work and would be
success.
Chairman Anderson and Secretary
Hyman made special trip to New
York city to have a conference with
one of the largest firms in the busi-
ness, and after going over many differ
ent styles of boats, their head
draughtsman was sent to Macon to ex
anime the river and report just what
kind of boat would be needed. "The
Ocmulgee" was built by this firm at IA
cost of about $4,000. Now Secretary
Hyman is more than ever enthusel
over the river line, especially when 1t
is known that they are steel barges
of 200-ton capacity, and that Americus
can get in the game and have water
connections by building this new
railroad on to Hwkinsville nd there
make a connection with the Macon-At-
lantic Navigation Company, and thus
on to Brunswick and the ocean, by way
Of the Ocmulgee.
This will place Americus on as fine
footing, as far as freight rates are
concerned, as any city our size in
the Southern states. The merchants
and big shippers cannot overestimate
the results that will come, when this
railroad to Hawkinsville is once com
pleted.
Mr.. ]. S. Morton, secretary treasurer
of the Georgia Lumber Company, is
nos in Ohio, having a conference with
his colleagues in the enterprise and
new and startling developments may
be announced in very short time. Mc.
Morton is in direct touch while he is
away at all times with the Times-Re-
corder, Secretary Hyman and Mr.. d. NJ
Borum, and as soon as a single biz
deal develops up there he will COM
municate with these parties, who
are working hard with Mr.. Morton t.

as possible, that the road may be com
pleted by next spring and trains run.

They were tired and felt that this
