THE COTTON BLOCKADE.
In Sunday's Recorder we published
an article from the Atlanta Constitution
in relation to the cotton blockade at this
pjint. As that article represented tho
views of the warehousemen and cotton
buyers, we give below what the railroad
officials have to say about it;
Macon, Ga., November 4, 1872.
Editors Constitution: I notice in your
isane of the 4th inst., a piece hvutled
"Cotton Blockade,’* reciting a telegram
dit-»d Americus, November 3rd. address
ed by several merchants to the Hon. J. E.
Frederick and W. C. Hawke?, Atlanta,
Ga., asking them to represent their griev
ances to the railroad commissioners and
invoke their aid for relief. While this
state of affairs was a fact on the third of
November, I am sure it will lead to erro
neous impressions without explanation.
From tho information I havo through our
ugent at Americus, there was no delay of
consequence to the cotton mentioned up
to date of coiuplaiut. To show the con
dition of Americus immediately prior to
the third of November, our record shows
in follows;
October 20th no cotton on hand.
Oct 27th nocotto i fon hand and fifteen
empty ears.
October 28th 111 bales cotton on hand
and nino empty cars.
October 29th 150 bales on hand and H
mpty <
Oetot
cars.
October 31st 400 bales
?muty cars.
i hand and 5
November 1st 500 Iwles on bund and 8
empty cars. These empty cars were about
enough to load tbis*cotton. It sectns from
information received tbrougb our agent
that there had been an accumulation of
cottoo at Americas warehouses,held.in an
ticipation of the reduced rates of tho state
railroad commission, that were to havo
taken effect November 1st, but when it
bad becomo known that the commission
had withdrawn the reduced rates the cot
ton was Rltovod on the road and hence
the delay. I simply givo below copies oi
telegrams received from the agent of the
oompany at Americus, upon which I baso
statement of causo of dolav.
I have received no word of complaiut
from merchants at Americus touching de
tention. I have always given tbeui a fair
share of tho company’s rolling stock to
movo tbeir ootton and am a little surpris
ed at the course of the complaint.
Will yon please copy this in your issue
of to-morrow and oblige

Can you wire me anything about it.

Amkiucus, Nov. 3, 1882.—W. F. Sbell-
niiiu, superintendent: I have 21 cars load-
e I east and 700 bales cotton in yard. All
of this cot ion was received since the first.
It is the accumulation held for shipment

fect first, so virtually there is no delay. I
am hoping Bass will relieve me by extra

The extra train expected by agent won

other extra train wus sent to Americus
on the morning of the fourth.

While* tho Eastern managers of exhibi

Loch invars of the West, the Sella Broth

now upon the road with an organization
that will make the owners of even the
most pretentious of associated exhibit ions
look to their laurels. These gentlemen,
starting only a few years siuce from the
nucleus of a humble wagon slow, havo
been gradually accumulating property, ill
animals and paraphernalia, tiutil now
they are tbo owners of six auioug the. lar

this continent, and which they have con

iuto one vast exhibition. By this finan
cially hazardous venture tlu-y are enabled
to present a front so formidublo that they
will havo but little fear from opposition,
let it conic from whence it may. The al
together unprecedented union enables
than to present the largest collection of
rare beasts and birds ever exhibited i \
America, aud a programme » t Me ling nets
and features that no similar organization
has the facilities f»*r duplication.
But those Western in a nag rs havo not
been contented tneivly with coa» olida-
tion. They have added, in every d«p*-it-
meat, attractions secnr d both in the Old
World and the New, that will he p«mi-
tively first-time features to America, and
in the procurement of which they have
been by no means niggardly with their

speak well of it wherever it. has been pre
sented. Among other things, the Phila
delphia Bulletin has this to say about
it:

impassioned lovo scene for a passage iu
the poet’s play, anil misinterpreting an
eaint s* protestation for his cue, attempts
to Act the business set down for him iu a
manner tlmt is ludicrous iu tho extreme,
is one of the funniest and most original
situations that has been seen in Philadel
phia for many a long year. In these
days or comedies teeming with coursenuss
and suggestive situations, it i« a welcome
and pleasant duty to praise Money Bags'
for its clean, pure unci honest fuu. There
is not an objectionable line in the whole
work. The piece was, in many respects,
capitally acted last night .”

Several days ago our drayman brought

it, thinking it was an order from us tlmt

When the paper wus brought up, bow.

and that the paper was not tho kind we
use, and on investigation found that no
paper had been ordered by u». There
were nine bundles altogether,0 of 30jx41,
and 3 doublo bundles ol' our tii-weekly
size, 22x30. There were no marks upon
them except tho uddress, so wo cannot
tell where it came from. No bill has
been received for it, so the mistake must
have been mode in the shipping. If some
