Editor Recorder.—Having heard r
a great deal concerning Mr. W. P. ■
Jowers , “Improved Cotton Seed,” j
and equally as much concerning {
Ids fine crops, we determined to;
and ascertain, if possible,

TO OCR BUSINESS MEN.
It has been, and will continue to
be, the aim of the Uecobdf.ii to ad
vance tho interest of Americus and
its oltizcns, and to this end it has
continually called attention to the
many advantages which our city
offers os a commercial point, as
well as a healthful and pleasnnt
place of. residence. Wo believe
that its advantage, are such, if
properly used, as to make A mere
ous the commercial centre of South
west Georgia, and wo have frequent
ly called attention to this fact.
Having a large circulation
surrounding counties, we have
tried to impress upon the people
of those counties the advantages
that would result to them by bring
ing their produce to and buying
their goods in this market. But
our efforts must be supplemented
by those of the business men oi
this olty to attain the highest de
gree of success. They should in
vite the people of these counties
to trade with them and show them
that it will bo advantageous for
them to do so. If this trade is
worth having it is worth working
for. Through the columns of tho
Reoobdeii we offer our business
men a moans of communicating
weekly Jwitb tho people or Lee,
Schley, Webster, Stewart, Marlon,
Maoon and Dooly counties, and we
.shall at all times lie glad to aid
them in so doing. Wo may call
the attention of these peoplo to our
cl(y as a trading point, hut unless
they see in our columns invitations
from our merchants to trade with
then!, much of the force of our
arguments is lost; for they very
correctly reason that flic most
liberal dealers are those who desire
custom and work to secure it
“But," von may say, “you are say
lug ono word lor us and two for
yonrsell, for this advertising will
will be a source of profit to you.”
Very true, but if you never make
a dollar unless yen can do it with
out afiordlng some one else an
opportunity to make a cent, you
will never beeonie wealthy. Be
sides, if we work for your interest
it is no more than right that we
should receive some reward for it.
Wo have got to live, as well as
yob. Wo want the Recorder to
lx> a representative of tho growth
and prosperity of Americus In Its
advertising as well as its editorial
columns, and you will loso nothing
by making it such. The fall trndo
is now opening and we should like
to see our merchants reap the full
benefit el It, and they can do so by
each placing on advertisement in
the Recorder, where it will be read
by those from whom they expeot
to get their patronage.

B. F. Boll, chairman of the Re
publican executive committee of
this district, issues a call from
Washington for a meeting of the
committee in this city on the 2d of
September, to consider matters of
importance. «Tbc Republicans arc
going to make a strong cffoit to
carry this district.
Our “infant Industries'’ arc like

alluded to as “uncertain.” She
never grows any older, but time

with our manufacturing infants.
They have lieon infants lor the last
fifty or sixty years, and are infants
still. It may lie snlely asserted,
too, that so long us the people are
heavily taxed for their support
they will remain infants il they
live for a thousand years longer.
When Congressman Cox de
clared that tho majority of tho ap
propriation committee were republi
cans and that they must take the
responsibility for the extravagant
appropriations, tho Republicans
derided him and declared they
were willing to take the responsi
bility. Tho appropriations were one
hundred million dollars in excess
of what they were when the demo
crats controlled congress. Tho
republicans assume llie responsi
bility of almost wasting that sum

A correspondent ol the New
York Sun, who evinces a great
familiiarity with tho manufacture
of liquors, assorts that high wines
cost the distiller not less than $1.14
per gallou, of whiuh cost the great
est item is the internal revenue
tax of 90 cents. The correspond
ent asserts that, notwithstanding
the above fact, high wines have
been sold for several yea^g at an
average price of $1.08, whicli is a
clear loss of 6 cents per gallon.
He quite plainly hints that tbo tax
is not honestly collected, and says,
'It is not the little moonshiner
who needs to be looked after. It
is the big shiners. The sooner this
internal revenue business is under
stood and straightened out, the
less money tho Republican party
will have to run their eleetions
