Americus Nears Cheap Freight With A P L Route
Americus and Sumter county push for lower freight costs as the A P L railroad launches the Alice Clark steamboat to Abbeville and Brunswick. The voyage aims to boost local commerce by lowering rates and increasing cotton shipments, challenging the Southwestern Railroad's tariffs and tying into river trade. Col. B H Hawkins leads the project, with another A P L boat planned.

Horse Thief Captured After Columbus Hunt
A horse stolen from Mrs. M. R. Davenport of Plains of Dura was recovered in Columbus after an advertisement run in the Recorder. The thief, believed to be Green Trice, an escaped convict, also stole Mr. Massey’s buggy and likely hid with Simons’ horse. John H. Palmer, Columbus Chief of Police, notified Davenport that her horse and the thief were in custody, with reward and charges payable to recover the property. Burt Alexander, Davenport’s son, traveled to Columbus to claim the reward and horse.
