new RAILROAD Will
RUN into SUMTER BY
FIRST PART OF MAY

Americus there is possibility that
it will be finally extended to Parrott,
Shellman, edison, Columbia and on
into Mariana, Florida, or some other
port on the gulf.
Americus would be the center
around which these wheels would
work-a gateway to the gulf. But
first comes her own preservation and
the business of the 2Sth district.
Undoubtedly, when the first train
moves into the 2Sth district and stops
at John Methvin's store, Americus
will get busy. She must move.
1t is 12 1-2 miles to Methvin's store
and 2 1-2 miles to the river from that
point. The railroad will soon span
2 1-2 miles of this route, and then il
remains for Americas to say whether
she cares for the road to come into
this city.
1t is learned unofficially that when
the road is constructed to Methvins
store, and Americus continues to main
tain her silence, then the road will be
extended on the east side 70 Hawkins
vile.
Americas stands before a wonderful
opportunity. Her business life de-
pends on it.
She will act.

WASHINGTON d. c., April L.
With President Wilson away and posi-
tive proof still lacking that submarine
attacks are responsible for the recen,
sea disasters to merchant ships carry
ing Americans, the latest submarine
issue is at standstill today.
Further developments probably viii
await word from Ambassador Gerard
at Berlin. Gerard on yesterday inquir-
ed at the German foreign Office con
cerning these attacks. Unofficial ad
vices say the German response may
await reports from German submarine
commanders now at sea-

VILLA INJURED
VERY SERIOUSLY
May Have Fallen
From Horse Is
a Belief

Ell PASO, April 1.-The capture Of
Villa is believed by army officers to
be only question of days. His fore
es are scattered after a smashing de-
feat Wednesday.
Villa is reported to be seeking SAT
ETY. at a recess on the continental d.
vide. The injured leg of the bandit
was broken by gunshot wound or O
fall from his horse. The injury will
doubtless prevent long flight.
The report heard that Villa had al
ready been captured is not credited.
Mexican Consul Garcia had no
word today of further fighting.

Pershing,s Men stiII After villa.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, April 1.-CoI.
Dodd's cavalry force resumed their
chase of Villas bandits following the
dashing attack Wednesday at Guer-
rerro, after resting only briefly. Sup.
porting forces first covered the rail-
roads towards Chihuahua, while small
er detachments began beating the adj
jacent country for signs of villa.
Overnight dispatches to Funston
to General Funston from Mexico told
how General Pershing gssforces are dis
tributed, though none of these brought
additional details of the fighting
around Guerrero. All of the des-
patches received by General Funston.
bore the filing DAFT Of Thursday, or
early Friday.
Officers here hope another success
Iul encounter with the bandits may
soon occur. The regular army head
quarters are expectant today, yet con-
tident of the ability of the American
troops to drive their quarry into the
open and force a decisive battle there.
Just where Villa went after being at
tackled by Americans at Guerrero is
unknown here.
Reports concerning Villas Condition
after the clash with American cavalry
these being of conflicting nature. One
report says the bandit chief escaped
uninjured after the fight.

PETITIONS FOR
BOARDS SENT To
CLERKS OF COURT

Monday and Tuesday morning there
will be presented to the chairman of
every board of county commissioners
,of the eighteen counties comprising
the Third Agricultural district a pc
tition from Secretary Hyman asking
them to appropriate the sum neces-
sary to defray. the erection of their
county, a building on the fair grounds.
The petition has been sent to the
clerk of the superior court, with re-
quest that they give it to the chair
man of the board In most of the
counties they know that it is coming,
and it is to be hoped that there will
be ready response to the petitions.
On Monday morning Agricultural
Agent ]. G. Oliver and Secretary Hy-
man will go to Buena Vista in the in
terest of building for Marion county.
On Tuesday morning they will go to
Ellaville to appear before the com
missioners in behalf of Schley county's
building. There are good prospects
that these two counties will come
across at once.
A big force of workmen under the
direction of H. J. France, horticultur-
alist of the Third District Agricultu-
raj school, set out the four hundred
roses that were received Saturday.
These roses are being set out two to
each panel of the fence and being
three year old roses they will make
big show by this fall
Numerous letters are being received
daily asking for information about our
fair and it looks like the Third Agri-
cultural District Fair will be one of
big features this year.

SUB COMMITTEE
FAVOR Of LOUIS
.BRANDE|S NAME

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 1.-The
senate judiciary subcommittee voted
three to two to recommend to the full
committee the nomination of Louis D
Brandeis for conformation. The
name was sent to the senate several
weeks ago by President Wilson to
fill the vacancy caused by the death
Ct Justice Joseph Rucker Lamar.
Senator Chiffon, Walsh and Fletch-
er, democrats, were in favor of the
conformation. Senators Cummins
and Works, republicans, opposed the
recommendation. The full committee
is about even on the matter.

SMOKING PIPES NOW

VIENNA, April loving to the
shortage of cigarettes and cigars, the
people of Vienna are taking to smok-
ing pipes, which have never before at
tanned any considerable popularity
here For some time past, it has been
practically impossible to get cigar
cites in Austria, although the supply
for the army seems unlimited.

METHV|N'S STORE
TERMINAL POINT I
A m eriCuS Must
Speak to Main
tain Business

A party of prominent Americus peo-
pie will visit the site on the Flint
river Thursday afternoon, April 18th,
where the railroad trestle of the
Georgia Lumber Co., has been con-
structed, which is near Copperas
Bluff.
The trestle has been constructed,
and the final details of the work such
as laying the cross-ties and the steel
rails, will be completed during the
next few days.
The railroad bed has been laid and
is in operation within four-tifths of a
mile of the river on the east side. A
huge trestle over the river swamps on
the east side has been built to the river
bridge, and within the next few days
tie first train on the railroad of the
Georgia Lumber Co., will run into
Sumter county.
The right-of-way to the farm of J.
l.. Chambliss has been cleared and
immediate work will be begun on the
road to John Methvin's store. 1t is
estimated that trains will be operated
to Methvin's store by May 1st.
The question of this railroad being
extended to Americus has been dis
cIssed very much in this city. The
matter has taken various forms, but
up to this time no definite action has
been taken.
Sumter county should be the occasion
OF much rejoicing by all of her patri-
otic people. 1t means a new day for
the county, with the 2Sth district
opened up to the commerce of the
world by steam power. This section
of the country has been the only dis
trict without a railroad, and when the
first whistle blows at John Methvin'a
store, many Americus pople will wit
ness the event with pleasure.
The day is rapidly approaching
when Americus must speak finally
definitely and unequivocally. The new
railroad has an outlet on the A. B. {
A railroad at Games. All of the bus
mess of the 28th district will receive
an outlet on the new road, over the
river, to Games-unless the road Il
brought to Americus, and in this event
the wheels of trade will turn t.
this city.
There is a possibility-no dream Of
a possibility, that should the new
road be brought to Amerrcus she will
witness a movement unlike any
which she has ever known. The care.
full citizen can take his map of Geor.
gia and Florida and with few min
utes of study will see where railroad
irto Americus from this section-ant
an outlet at Games, will open a new
avenue Of trade.
The eyes of the world have turned
towards the Panama canal, and witt
the construction of the new road Il
