AMER|CUS WILL
KNOW ABOUT THE
RAILROAD SOON

At 8 o'clock Friday morning, the
commissioners of the Chamber of Cone
merce will begin campaign to see if
$4,000 in stock and terminal facilities
representing about $4,000 can be Sc
cured out of the city, which will bring
the proposed railroad from Games, on
the A., B. & A. railroad to Americus.
This is the latest proposition made
by j. S. Morton, representing the
Georgia Lumber Co., and according to-
his statement at the meeting held late
yesterday afternoon in the Chamber of
Commerce, the final answer must come
quickly
w. M. Jones, of the Moreland- Jones
Grocery Co., presided at the meeting
of commissioners and citizens, the
unanimous conclusion was reached to
make an effort to comply with the
terms of Mr., Morton to bring the road
to this city.
With the road will come the large
pay roll for constructing the system,
and after its completion will come the
general Offices of the concern.
The terms of the proposition allow
that one-third of the promised stock
is to be paid when the road is graded
into Americus; another one-third when
the rails are laid into the city. and
the last and final payment to be paid
when the first train comes into Ameri-
Gus.
This is the proposition which the
commissioners of the Chamber Of
Commerce have in hand to start the
movement for securing the road. TIE
time is short; the engineer of the road
is almost ready conclude what has
been done so far; the promoters must
go elsewhere, if Americus does not
want the road-these are the vital
things affecting the matter just now.

Rumanian Situation Critical.

The situation of the Rumanian ar
mics defending Bucharest today is in
creasingly critical, and late today they
seemed to be holding firmly only to
the northwest of the capital. The cap
ture of Curtea de Argos by the Teu-
tens seems to indicate a weakening
even in that quarter, while the Teuton
armies on the southwest are already
within forty miles of Bucharest.
News dispatches today report the
Rumanian government and foreign dip
lcmats are moving to Jassy, near the
Russian frontier.
Rapid progress made by Field Mar
shal Won Falkenhayne's armies was
made possible largely by forces cross
ing the Danube at Ziminitxa and out
fanking the Rumanian positions III
the Alt valley.
The German war Office statement TO-
day states the Rumanian retreat in
Wallachia was most disorderly.
Russian troops have taken the Of
fensive near Kirlibaba in the Carpath
ians, northwest of the Rumanian from
tier, Petrograd reporting the capture
of heights east and south of Kirlibaba,
and the taking of more than seven
hundred prisoners.
Berlin reported local Russian sue
cesses in the Carpathians today, and
that there is increased activity on the
Somme front.
