How Goods are Bought.
Mr. M. Gross, of J, Waxelbaum
& Co., left this morning for New
York. During his absence Capt.
Shaffer will be in charge of the busi
ness. Mi. Gross leaves direct for
Boston, Haverhill and Lynn, Mass.,
and there places his orders for
boots and shoes for his wholesale
and retail departments. J. Waxcl-
baum A Co. is the only house in
Americus that buys their boots and
shoes direct from the manufac
turers in person, thereby saving 25
per cent, usually paid by other
houses to jobbers or traveling men.
From Boston Mr. Gross will go to
Now York to attend to his cloth
ing purchases. Everyone knows
that J. Waxelbaum A Co. buy more
and sell more clothing and carry
more stock than any lour houses
in this section. The secret of their
success lay3 in buyituj their stock.
Mr. Gross in person selects tire
material, superintends the manu
facturing by expert tailors while in
the city, getting always the latest
styles and the nobbiest patterns.
This is an advantage over other
houses, whose business will not
permit thoir “going on” twice a
year and almost compels them to
stay at home and buy their stock
from traveling men at a heavy
advance on regular New York
prices. Everyone knows that a
traveling man labors under many
heavy expenses. He is the best
dressed man, stops at the swell
hotel, smokes the finest Sc cigars
and drinks the best liquor and
makes the country merchant pay
for it. J. Waxelbaum A Co. do
away with all these unnecessary
expenses. They never bay of travel
ing men. Go to New York in per
son, they are well known in the
market, buy in large quantities, arc
old experienced merchants, and do
buy goods 25 per cent, less than
any other house in this section.
Another disadvantage in buying
from traveling men is that they
never carry the latest styles. When
they start on tho road the styles in
New York are never out, and they
generally carry a lino carried over
from tho season before, and the
poor country merchant that don’,
know any better, and sees nothing
else, and has no one to post him,
buys the poor drummer's fluff, and
when the scoson opens, nnd J.
Waxelbaum A Co. make thoir
grand display, their customers will
always find the latest, nobbiest and
best goods in the market and at
prices that defy competition.

As advertised, at 6 o’clock the
bieyole and running race came off
at the fair grounds last Friday
evening. The attendance was fair,
many ladies being present. Tho
riders in the bicycle race, a two
mile dash, were J. H. Polhill,
of Macon, W. M. Jones, of Amcri
cus, F. M. Tunlson, of Savannah
and Crawford Wheatley, of Amer
icus. The latter gcntlcraanis
now hand at the wheel, having
only used one n few weeks.
A few moments after six the
riders mounted their maobinesand
the judges started them off. Tunh
son at once took the lead, followed
by Polbill and Jones. After four
or five laps Polhill made a spurt
and passed Tnnison, followed
shortly afterwards by Jones. The
track wa9 too sandy for Tnnison
who pulled off when his first mile
was finished. Polbill was an easy
winner of first money, and Jones
of second. Polhill is a very grace'
ful and easy rider, and could have
beaten the time several minutes
had lie been compelled to.
The crowd then adjourned to
the track prepared for the foot
race. The entries were I. R. Cain,
Will Davis. Tom Cobb and Neil
Hawkins. A good start was made
and the runners were evenly match
ed for the first twenty-five yards.
Cain then pulled out, followed
closely by Davis, wiio elbowed bim
all the way. Cain won by a foot
or two in 11 j, Davis a close second,
Cobb third and Hawkins last.
The best of order prevailed, and
everything passed off quietly. The
Commercial City club did not get
rich from the proceeds though.

Mr. Clay Speaks.
Plantation, July 18th, 1884.
Editor Recorder:—I bavo just
read an article in the Republican,
“Consumer.” He was very kind
and liberal In his views towards
somo and full of advice to others.
I do not know who “consumer” is,
unless he is one of those characters
always neoessary to fill up a town,
who always knows moro about
every one else’s business that lie
does his own. One of these men
who are always ready to give ad
vise; knows bow everything ought
to liedono; makes Inexhaustablc
amounts ol money, but being a
■consumer” never has any, and he
is as equally well acquainted with
tlie knowledge of putting a little
boy off of fifteen years and telling
bim to call again who makes his
living by collecting for some mer
chant who has been unfortunate
enough to fall heir to some of bis
bills or accounts. But if I am
wrong in my viaws and the article
was written by some nice clever
gentleman, who really wanted to
know the reason why a mistake of
that kind should be mado in over
estimating our crops and having to
bay corn, I will explain and take
plcasure in giving my views when
asked for.
I run on llic Huguenin planta
tion fifty-two plows, forty I run on
the tenant system and twelve for
wages, I have never had to buy
an car of corn for my wages crowd
since I have been farming, not only
malting plenty of corn to run it,
but always let out a good deal to
my tenants. Any one who has ever
had a great deal to do with negro
tenants, certainly is possessed of the
knowledge that it is, as a rule, a
matter of an impossibility to keep
the tenant from selling off bis corn
in the fall of the year, which forces
you to buy corn for the gentleman
of color again in the latter part of
spring, or ho lo9es his crop. The is unique nnd elegant, embracing nil the
corn that I have bought has been “ t “ t on<1 cIln »‘est l,M| s ns:
entirely for my tonants. I have
now on hand nineteen hundred and
ninety-two bushels of oats, known
as tho celebrated Clay orMcCuller
oat, whioh I will, beyond a shadow
of doubt, realize one and a half or
two dollars per bushel for, thoreby
realizing the snug sum of three or
four thousand dollais for my oat
crop. Or in other words I could
have fed all my oats away like
many others and not had to buy
one ear of corn for my tenants, but
I deemed it a wiser aud bet
tor plan to save my oats and
Boll them and buy] eorn. The
ont crop in this country has
almost been a complete failure, con
scqucntly tho farming interest in
this country will bo greatly in need
of seed oats, whilo corn will go
begging at the small sum of 40 or
50 cents per bushel, and if “cob
sumcr” thinks I am wrong in my
views, I will sell him two thousand
bushels of corn, delivered nt my
crib this fall, for 50 cents per
bushel,leaving raoro than the above
amount to run my twelve plows
with the next year.
