AttERIC[JS WILL GET new R. R.
BYR0MVILLE ROAD WILL Be
EXTENDED ACROSS FLINT RIVER.
CENTRAL READY
BEGIN EXTENSION
. HAMPTON STREET

The matter of extending tracks of
the Central Railway from Wheeler
street, opposite the canning factory,
along Hampton street to the southern
boundary of the ball park, having been
desposed of by the legislature and the
supreme court, and more lately by a
board of arbitration here which as
sessed the amount of probable damage
resulting to property owners, the
Central Railway Co. is ready to begin
shortly the work of putting down
tracks along Hampton street.
The laying of tracks along this
street, which is but little lsed, will
develop great deal of vacant prop
erty on either side of the street and
render it available for use as manu-
featuring sites or other commercial
purposes.
The objectors to the extension of
the tracks on Hampton street, Harold
Bros, who own large property inter-
ests in that vicinity, was referred re-
Gently to a board of arbitrators here,
whose duty it was to assess probable
damages which result. The assessors
fixed the damage at $500, which prop
osition the railway company accepted
The complainants, it is understood,
will appeal to the courts from the find
ing of the board of arbitrators.
Col. A. E. Hawkins, counsel for the
Central railway, stated today that "as
soon as the remittance of $500 was
received here it would be placed in
custody of the court until the issue
was fully and finally determined.
In the meanwhile, Col. Hawkins said,
when the deposit of $500 is effected,
the railway company will begin the
work of laying tracks along Hampton
street to the southern boundary of the
ball park. City council some time
ago granted the railway company the
use of Hampton street, while special
act of the legislature authorizes the
building of tracks upon any street of
the city where such privilege was
granted by the mayor and council.
That the building of this track on
Hampton street will, ultimately, re-
suit in the building of a union pas
senger station at somd eligible loca-
ton, seems a general conclusion.

RUSSIANS DEVELOP
GREAT ACTIVITY
SAYS VIENNA
(By Associated Press.)

VIENNA, Jan. 1.-The Austrian an
nound cement on the progress of the
war issued early today says the Rus
SLAMS have developed great activity
in the Earpathian region, where num-
erous engagements occurred during
the past twenty-four hours. The Rus
sian advance is said to nave been
ineffecth bal and to have resulted in
heavy losses.
At numerous points in the mountain
country Austrian troops have main
tanned tt Ieir positions in the face of
murderods Russian assaults, and the
Muscovit4s have utterly failed to dis
lodge them. Fighting there has been
furious, and the situation is critical.
In the Balkan region quiet prevails
and the n Servian offensive has been
checket
Monteuegrin troops operating east
of Trebing, continued ON the offensive
yesterday, but were compelled to re
treat during last night, under a heavy
artillery fire. Austrian forces in that
region are again in complete command
of the situation.

The propoaed line from Americus to
Flint river, eighteen miles, traversed
one of the finest agricultural sections
of Sumter, the rich and fertile Twenty
eighth district, and could have been
constructed at comparatively small
cost, it was said.
That such an outlet to the east, with
connection with the A., b. and A.,
would prove of inestimable value to
Americas is a fact apparent to every
one, and the failure of the project a
few years ago is still regretted.
But now another opportunity is pre-
sented in the purchase of the Byron
Vile railway of large landed interests
in Sumter county and the assured
building at once of the railway bridge
across the Flint river at the same
point previously selected. The Byron
vile company is made up largely of
foreign capitalists, and while they
have made no overtures or suggestions
regarding the extension of their road
from the river to Americus, it is reas-
enable to conclude that they would en-
tertain proposition of cooperation.
1t seems a golden opportunity for
Americas to be up and doing, and be-
gin the new year with the building of
a railway line that would aid material
ly her commercial interests and en-
hance and develop one of the finest
agricultural sections of our county.

Sumter County.

The extension of the former Byron
Vile railway into Sumter county and
ultimately, perhaps, to Americus, was
assured in the purchase yesterday by
the railway company of timber rights
on 1900 or 1000 acres land on the
Flint river at a point seventeen miles
east of Americus, and which is to be
made available by the immediate ex-
I tension of the short line across the
river. Such is the interesting story
told here today, and which means
much for Americas and the county.
Already the purchasing company
owns and operates we'll built short
line of eight or nine miles of railway
from Byromyille, in Dooly county to
the east bank of Flint river, the di-
viding county line. Within few weeks
this short line will have its terminus
in Sumter.
Byromville is thrifty town on the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic,
about 25 miles east of Americus, and
the plan of building a railway line
there, thus affording Americus con-
nection with the A., B. and A. railway,
has long teen contemplated by enter
prising Americus men. In fact, the
line from Americus to Flint river was
surveyed and definitely located sew
eral years ago in the proposed build
ing of the Americus and Hawkinsville
railway.
