TOWN A!U) COUNTRY
There is, wc regret to say, a feel
ing of ahtagonism toward Ameri
oils among many people in the conn,
try surrounding it. This feeling
is by no means confined to Ameri.
• cus or this section'for we liavo
noticed it in many, other places.
While there is no good reason why
this feeling should exist, it never
theless does exist, and its exist-
- euce Is always detrimental both to
. the toVo aud country, for their
interests are identical, and they
should always work in harmony.
Many people in the country have
an idea that the people ol the town
live oil. the labor of the people of
the country'—that the town Icvys
tribute on the country, and this
• tribute is a species of robbery.
That the people of the town do
five off the labor of tjiq town Is
true, but that they do not return
value received is not true—it, is
simply an exchange of labor, and
should be so regarded.
; R it is true that tbo country
builds up tbe town, it is also true
that tho town builds up the coun
try, and by affording a convenient
and profitable market for tbo sale
produce enhances the value of pro
duce and country property. Wo
all know that a farm near a good
market- town is more valuable than
a farm cpually as well improved
and productive that lies some dis-
tanoe from a town. We nil know
that tbn larger .the town tbo moro
valuable lathe farm property which
surrounds it. It would seem, then,
to be to the interest of tbo country
that their market town should grow
in. population and wealth, as follow,
ing its growth is tho growth of tho
country. Towns, too, are depond-
ent upon the growth of tho country
Tor their growth. In fact, to bo
prosperous tile town and country
must grow logetbor. Tbolr inter
ests lielng mutual,, their action
should be united and harmonious.
Now let us make a personal ap-
plication to Americus and tho coun
try surrounding it. Antcrious is
the largest market town in South
west Georgia, has an abundnneo of
capital to buy tho products of tho
country, good faollitios for hand
ling and shipping these products,
and liberal buyers. Being the
na'tural market for a number of
counties in this section, thepcoplo
of the^o counties should he Inter
ested In tho growth of Amerlcus,
ns its growth will afford them n
better mnrket for their products,
furuish them gOeds cheaper, and
enhance the value .Of their lands.
At Savannah arid Atlanta aro of
groat advantage to the Stnto in
the way of markets, and Macon,
Augntla and Columbus aro of
great advantage to their sections,
so will the growth of Amerlcus
benefit Southwest Georgia. There
is no reason why there should he
any jealousy toward Amerlcus by
other towns in this section, for as
Americas grows so will they grow,
by affording them a good market
nearer homo. At Savannah and
t* All » nt » >' ril >g « good market nearer
to the doors of every town in the
State, so will Auterieiis bring a
good market rnnirer to tho towns
iu Southwest Georgia. As theso
towns continue to grow, they wilt
Ahoorb tbe retail trade, and it will
bfe an advantage to them to have a
wholesale market hear them.
Tbs planters of Southwest Geor
gia am especially interested in the
i growth of Amerlcus as a market
r fbr their cotton, for it is a known
fact that tlm greater number of
‘ bwtes of cotton received by any
lh *. more competition there
i* A*»oug buyers and tlic better
'pHin realized. By coucenlrtllnff
\t3fccotton in Amerlcus the plan
taw of this section can secure bet-
tar prices for their cotton, and at
• •**« U“»e procure their sup-
piles cheaper. One reason why
“"m commands a better prico
with large receipts is
*t such places there are
■111 buyers, who bny only
* grades, and who most get
of these grades to
■fi«« !» shipping.
psRrafMQmrtMM.mrm
•t get. enough of the gradciI
they want. By having ‘a large
quantity ol cotton and mill buyers,
Amerlcus conid afford planters
better prices.
For the reasons ere have set forth
we hope to see tbe people of Ameri-
cus and surrounding counties work
ing together in harmony to advance
their common interest. We are
sure the business men of Americas
will do all In their power to ad-
vance the interests of the planters,
for tbe very good reason that It is
tbelr interest to do so, and we hope
the planters will do all tiioy can to
advance the interests of Amorlcus
for the same reason.
IIAVkI'AITU is your own town.
Tho following, from the Mobile
Register, is so applicable to Ameri-
cus that wo reproduce it, In the
hope (hat our citizens may find in
it a lesson wbicli they will learn
with profit to themselves:
Confidence and combined effort
have made Atlanta what she is—
confidence and combined effort are
needed to make Mobile what she
should be. Do our people givo the
same expression to confidence in
tho future of tbelr city ns Is the
oaio in Atlanta? Are they is ready
ss they should be to contribute to
enterprises for tho public good in
which they have no pnrticnlir or
especial interest? I>o they suffi
ciently realise that what is for the
honeflt of tho public will ultimately
rcdound|thcJbeneflt of each member
of tbe body politic? Truth com-
>els us to answer these questions
n the negative. Our people have
some confidence and considerable
public spirit, but neither approach
the condition of affairs that lias
made Atlanta what it is. A con
siderable number of our peoplA are
still disposed to speak Blightingly
of Mobile when In laiger places—
yon never find an Atlanta man
guilty of this. If he finds himself
in New York, Boston or Philadel
phia, ho is fully prepared to point
out several points In which the
gate olty is ahead of those over
grown communities. Wo have
men among us, also, who are still
Indisposed to subscribe a dollar for
public enterprises unless they can
bo shown that it will bo returned
to them doubled lu a short time.
Others are ready to subscribe, but
they seem ever haunted by tbe
dread that they are giving more
than othera An Atlanta man glo
ries in giving moro than others.
Whenever ho does so he goes home
to his mansion on Paohtree or
Washington street with the sweet
consciousness that he has not lived
in vain.

SOT AS MNEMIH AH FORMER!
The manufacturers of cotton in
the Seuth are beginning to make
tbemeelves felt In the gnat cotton
trado of tbe world. The extensive
cotton mille of the Campbell Manu
facturing Company, at Manayunk,
I’a., which gives employment to
700 hands, will be shut (town for
an indeOnlte period In two weeks
Mr. Campbell assigns as the reason
lor tho stoppage, the immensely
inoreasod production of cotton
fabrics and tbe strong competition
that has grown up in the South,
where he claims that the cheaper
labor of that section has made tho
Southorn cotton mille formidable
contestants In the cotton trade.
On tbe forgoing the Romo Courier
remarks: “Neither the Romo or
Columbne cotton mille were rep
resented ot tbe recent convention
held at Augusta, of the Southern
cotton men. But those who at
tended that convention found out
when they got there, that none of
them had any grievnnees to rectify.
Southern mill* are able to sell all
they conid make, it is not over
production that is hurting north
ern manufacturer*, 8onlhern com
petition ie doing the work.”
I have struck not for higher
wages, nor for less hours of
work; but I hnve“struck” upon
ways and means to keep this
town supplied with the largest
and best selected stock of Dry
Goods, Clothing, Shoes, Hats
and Notions that ever were
shown or offered before. I do
not wish to tire my customers
or tlie reader why und how I
can sell these goods at such
fabulously low prices, but
will say come, be convinced that
it will jiay you to do your trad
ing with me. I can and will
save you money, no matterhow
small your purchases. New
Goods received daily which are
always offered at bargain prices.
