The Goldens.
This popular dramatic troupe,
With -whom our people were so well
pleased last season, will give two
entertainments in this city on Fri
day night and Saturday afternoon
Tho arrangements of Mr. Golden
ibeing such that he could only play
in Amcricus on Friday and Satur
day, and the military fair being
set for that time, and not wishing
to conflict with the arrangements
.of the A, L. I. boys, he was at first
inclined-to pass us by; but our
people wero so anxious to see the
Golden troupe _that an arrange-
. ment was made by which the mili
tary fair will bo closod on Friday
Inlght until after the performance,
and the Goldens will only givo a
matinco on Saturday. During
their Btay "here tbo Golden band
will furnish music for the fair.
This arrangement we are sure will
h^M l j4tiata c t<»O r ; to, our people
that they will give the Goldens the
largest nifdicncc over given to any
company in this city. The troupe
is dcwrvlpg of it, for a better
troupnneW Visited this city. It
is composed of ladies and geutle-
men ’whose greatest aim is to
achieve success in their profession.
The editor of tho Rcoordm has
known Mr. and Mrs. Golden and
many' members of their troupe for
many years, and he feels safe in
■tying that.no better troupe hat
evy vlsftal Amcricus. Their ap
pearance here last spring satisfied
those of our people who attended
their performances that ail we had
■aid of them was true, and they
were promised a big house when
ever they should return. Friday
flight the new and successful com
edy-drama, “Lady Claire,” will be
presented, and .we can promise our
people a'rich treat.
“Um, yum, I smell burnt cot
ton,” said a cotton W^SRfiTroit
of Toole, McGarrah & Tondee’e
warehouse several dayi ago.
“Here it is,” said another buyer,
picking up a handful of scorched
ootton which was lying on the
ground. “There is no fire in it,
though,” he added, carelessly.
“HoW fast will cotton burnl”
asked a Recounts man, who was
standing by. '
“It will burn faster than any
thing I know of,” said the buyer,
as he turned the staple around in
his hand, and examined it. “Just
to show you—here,” and he picked
up a handful, of clean cotton and
banded it to the reporter. “Now
wud that up tight and put your
cigar to it. Then fold it up and
put your bands over it.”
The reporter did so. The mo
ment the cigar was applied the
cotton oaught and the fire began
to sink down like a drill into the
handful. He closed his bands over
it, and in a short time it became
so hot that ho was unable to hold
it. Picking up another handful he
wrapped it around the fire, and,
holding it tightly in both hands,
succeeded in crushing out the fire,
as lie thought. When it was again
opened, however, it began to burn
as bard as ever.
“It is almost Impossible to put
the fire out when once it catches
ootton. The closer a bale is pack
ed the faster will it barn. It don’t
spread out, like anything else, but
burns directly to the centre, and
consumes the inside of a bale first.
I remember onoo iu Savannah on
the wharf, when I was billing some
compressed bales, that all at once
boy yelled ' at me, and looking
around I. saw a bale I had just
passed fall to pieces and flames
begin to come from it. By good
luck tbe fire got no further. That
bale, probably, had been burning
a ooupie of days. Gin houses are
often burned up by the pickers
smoking in the field and letting a
spark drop into a ootton basket
It is dumped into the wagon and
then into the gin house, and ,does
not get fairly started betore night,
and before any one knows it, the
gin house is on fire and burnt.”
“Big Area in warehouses,” he
continued, “are often caused by
oireicss drivers, who smoke as they
drive the cotton to town. The
tlnyest kind of a spark will sink
into a bale, and if not discovered
will burn thousands of dollars
worth of cotton. That is why buy
ers always carry as much insur
ance as they can get. Thera is no
telling when a big fire is going to

New York, Nov. 14,1884 New
York is still counting, but it will
make no difference; Cleveland
comes in beyond a donbt, and Jim
my Blaine will have to write more
books for a living. Business is at
n stand still, everybody jubilant of
the prospects. I have been trying
my best to see Mr. Cleveland, but
he is not expected here, and my
time here is too precious to go to
Albany, hence I will delay to see
him until the 4th of March, when
he will be inaugurated as President
of tbe United States in Washing,
ton.
Daring all this jubilee I have not
forgotten business. I have taken
advantage of tbe “state of affairs”
and have bought one of the finest
and best assorted stocks, suitable
for the cold weather and coming
holidays, that was ever brought to
Amerious. Tbe goods are being
shipped ns soon as possible. Ladies,
be on tbe watch. Delay your trad
ing until this regular Democratic
Boom Stock arrives. It is impos-
sibie to enumerate what I bought,
but enough is, that you will be sur-
prised at the taste I have displayed
in tbo selection of them, and at the
prices they will be offered at.
