buy most of their cotton, if not all,
loose, as it comes from tbe gin,
thereby saving the loan on tbe
weight on bagging and ties, and
the general loss of weight on cot
ton, if packed and put iD warehous
es, this would amount to at least
per pound, or $2 50 for each bale,
and the chances are that they will
get at least 1,000 bales, or 50,000
pounds, of lint cotton tbat way.
The merchants of Americus use
about live hundred bales of sheet
ing, shirtings, osnaburgs, and oth
er domestics per year. Most of it
would be bought at borne, and the
remainder of their product will find
a market in neighboring cities,
where the freights would be cheap

Atlanta or Augusta. Besides that

except in banks. From my own
knowledge, every enterprise has re
ceived their sanction, approval and
aid, and but one enterprise (the
oil mill; has not received lhat sup
port which it was entitled to, but
unknown to me there may have
been some good cause or reason
why their co-operation was with
held. Tire blame, a lack for mak
ing a forward stride, lies therefore
altogether with some one to make
the initiatory step.
It is reallv surprising that steps
looking to the establishing of mail-
factories of some kind have not
been taken ere now,tor we certain
ly do not lack men capable ol
faking hold of such enterprises, nor
of men, who Laving in addition to
their capability, tbe confidence ol
most of our citizens. Our business
men and those that have been
identified with the business ol
Americus for the past tenyeirs
and more, are certainly abreast
with tbe limes, they arg"excelled
by noue.cvcn in larger tUlies North
or South. They are mien live to
their customers and business, and
lose no opportunity to make their
business pay, but tbe lack of suf
Occnt business or patronage or
rather their entire dependence for
tire tiade or our tillers, is icsulliei
cut, and docs not give then an equal
showing with merchants that do
busiuess in places that have fac
tories and laboring people employ
ed, and whose wages goes far, il
not altogether, towards the home
trade and support of the mere bants.
Vi e Lave no labor trade,or so little
that it may bc called none, arid
hero in consequence depend entire
ly upon the farmers tcaile. No one
gainsay that this trade is entirely
msullicicnl to keep up the many
business bouses here, which busi
ness again are necessary to keep
up a city. We have excellent
money facilities, (banks) perhaps
btUer and more than any city of
its size in ibis or other States.
They aie ail managed by good and
liberal business men, and there is
certainly no doubt that each or
any one ol them would aid any
substantial, sale, and deserving en
ti ritrisc. It would open a new
channel for their capital and can
not but be profitable to their busi
ness.
Resides ibis, it does not always
require a hundred thousand dol
lurs to start a cotton or other fac
tory. Begin on a small scale, and
if the remuneration for your out
lay is satisfactory, increase them
both to the demand and your capi
tal. Let me suggest a fair begin
ning. I give this for what It is
worth, and if others can suggest
any better plan, no one will be

sitow tlmt should an enterprise be 1 taking ot this kind this city would

final outlay of *100,000, that barely I our expectations. Such an under-
raise i taking would at once enhance the
value of real estate and in but little
limcyou will see how many parties,
either from home or abroad, will be
anxious to start such enterprises as
gas. electric lights, telephone, street
railway, and similar enterprises
which become a necessity when
our population increases, then we
will have a city of which every citi
zen will be proud. Nehoc.
I admit that Americus lacks
some facilities lor manufacturing
purposes, both regarding water
and fuel, but while other manufac
turing cities have great advantages
in both, there are others that have
not near tbe advantages which
Americus otters. We can at a little
expense have all the water neces
sary, and as for fuel, for tbe pres
ent wood und hauling is cheap aud
special contracts could bc made, at
satisfactory figures, and while it
may be of a little higher cost than
coal, it would nevertheless have the
advantage of leaving the money at
home, in place of sending it to t! e
coal fields. Now about the paying
or main part for such enterprise:
Aside from it being tire onl/ thing
lhat will keep Americus its busi
ness and its remaining a trading
centre, which in itself is worth the
money invested in the enterprise,
they would have none advaniages
which other manufactories or those
run separately do not enjoy. For
instance, our main, and we say oni}
product here is cotton. The most
successful manufactories are those
that muaufaeiirre Irom the raw ura
terial at places where the raw ma
lerial is raised or cultivated. We
could, with the exception of a very
few large farmers, induce most
farmers to bring their cotton as
picked to the faotory to be ginned
The farmer could sell his seed cot
ton straight out, or sell his hot,
without having it packed, thereby
saving the cost for bagging, ties,
paek'ng and storage. This latter
expense is geneiallv thought to he
paid by the buyer, but we know it

of export and is deducted like the

ing the war several Milwaukee capi

long, and came to New York to
secure capital. A party to whom
they were referred listened to their

‘•Have you secured the right of

mated the cost?’’
••No.”
“Then you haven't any railroad?”
