RAILWAY WILL ADD
FIGHT ON THE TICK.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept 20
Asking farmers whether they desire
to feed cattle or ticks, the U. S. de
partment of agriculture is about to
embark on spectacular campaign
throughout the tick-infested region Of
the South to arouse farmers to take
the steps that will stop the annual
tribute of $5O,OOO,OO0 now being pail
to the tick. Attractively colored an
illustrated literature will be used in
this work.
AS the result of the anti-tick cam
paign, one-third of the tick-infested
area of the South, region as large
as the German Empire, has. been clear
ed since 1906, but it is now desired t.
push the work much more rapidly than
in the past as the country needs the
meat the South could profitably supply
if the tick were banished, and the
South needs the dollars that will roll
in when the tick goes out.
The department stands ready 70 CO.

to engage in this work Agents Of the
Southern railways agricultural de-
partment will also aid farmers in
warning on the tick wherever possible.
and will cooperate with all agencies

MPEACHMENT Of
JUDGE FIFE LIKELY

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 20.-Judge A
W. Fite, of the Cherokee circuit, is
a prominent figure in Georgia today
as he has been at various times dur
ing the past several years.
1t would not be surprising if i'm.
parchment proceedings were instituted
at the approaching extra session which
Governor Harris has said would be
called during the first days of No
vember
And should the impeachment egorts
be successful, an endless session of
the Georgia legislature is possible, for
this exception is mentioned in the con
stitution of the state. The limit of
fifty days does not apply when a trial
is being held.
The direct outgrowth of the i'm
parchment proceedings would be the
action of Judge Fite in placing the
commissioners of Murray county in
Jail for contempt of court, but should
the trial be held, volumes of Judge
Fite's past decisions and actions
would be brought before the state
senate as court of review.
The supreme court of Georgia will
hear the appeal of the county com
missioners on October 4th, and unit
that time the commissioners say they
will remain in jail
Defying Judge Fite, the commits
sioners are stoically bearing the i'm
prisonment. The wives of two of the
commissioners are sick, but the coun
ty authorities are bravely standing VI
for what they believe is right.

WIRE CAGES FOR
FEMALE STEkOGs. IS
THE LATEST MOVE

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept 20.--A law to
put all female stenographers in wire
cages may be the next piece of freak
legislation offered for the consider
alton of Georgia solons.
The "Woman's Home Improvement
Association" whatever that is, has
passed resolutions that 'it is the SER
timent of this association, to be re-
solved, accepted and carried, that all
girl stenographers be kept in wire
cages while at word"
One of the ladies, explaining the
idea, said:
1T has come to pass that just as
soon as a stenographer enters an Of
fee, if she happens to be attractive,
her employer ogles her, draws out a
box of candy and proceeds to get
nearer. A young girl cannot do any
thing but fear it. The girls are not to

THE Y. VI. c. A.

The Young Mems Christian Assoeia
ton of Americas is making every eff
fort to arrange their budget for the
year 1856, and it's completion is
wholly dependent on the memberships
as secured from the people of Ameri-
Gus.
The Y. NJ. c. A. makes no appeal as
a charitable organization. 1t only re
quests members as any other legiti
mate movement for the best interest
of the city.
Secretary Colby, of the organization,
has stated that with 200 members and
the rooms at the Y. M. C. A. building
occupied, that the institution can be
successfully operated for the schol
astic year now beginning.
The Y. NJ. c. A. requests no dona-
tions, but only asks you to join the
association, and have value received

THE NEW RAILROAD.

In maturer form than any other
enterprise concerning Americas has
appeared the new railroad-The Amer
icus, Hawkinsyille and Eastern raj!
road.
Americas above all needs the rail-
road. We want the railroad.
A meeting of the Chamber of Com
merce has been called for Tuesday
night, September 21st, at o'clock
and at that time every citizen III
Americas will be spotted-his attitude
will be known. And from thence on
a city will be built by the men who
love and honor home.
The value of the proposed railroad
cannot be overestimated. Our rates
would be revolutonized. And if any
man in Americas wants no cheaper
freight rates then we do not want
him.
The Americas people should coop
crate. By the securing of railroad
shops for Americas it would mean a
payroll. a substantial increase in tn )
business of our city.
Put yourself to thinking, and speal.
up as you believe.
