Atlanta, Go., Sept. 24.—A pro found eonaatfou tu created hero to-day by development! connecting Gordon with a discreditable busi ness enterprise. UeJq President of a concern known aa “Farmer.’ Co- Ofieratlve Cotton Oil and Pa|>er Stock Company," the principal of- flees of which, prospootue says, I. in Atlanta, with total common atock of 460,000,000, and preferred etock 123,000,000. Itpurpoita to be oorpbrallon, with Bales, owner ship and right to heat cotton teed by Evans process in this country and Europe. llut the most notable thing about It la the llet of ofllcers. L. L. Polk, Preeldent of the National Alliance, appeara aa Vice-President and di rector; C. W. Macune Is director; so is W. J. Northeii, and so is a number of prominent Alliance men In thle and other Statea. Tbs whole get up Is seductive, well calculated to reach the average pocket-book, ltut it is an almoat Incredible fact that some of these names have been used without consent. Col. Polk says In a telegram from Washing- ton to-day. “I waa very much surprised to receive this prospectus with my name on lies vice president, os I certainly never authorized It. aoon as I read It I telegraphed Gov. Gordon to kuow by whoee author ity my name had been used. Tills company was supposed to he a $7,- 000,000 one,and I waa aurprlaed that my name should ho handled so freely In an affair of such magni tude. I could not underetand what Gov. Gordon, or the man who put my name on It, meant. Gov. Gor don replied that ho put my namo on It by authority Inferred; that niy name would be taken off at once and that none of the clroulare had keen used. Howeyer, some of them must have even —lit „ut, for one was sent to me. This thing placed me In a ridiculous attiludo. I could not think of giving a mon ied enterprise the benefit of my of- llclal name. I have hod hunderede of propositions made me since I have been president of the Nation al Alliance, but have, of course, re fused them all, and I would not think of going Into any enterprise by which tho use of my official name would make money for myself. Again, tide cir cular places Gov. Gordon In an In consistent predicament. It seems from tide that although he has de nounced Ur. Macune an everything that le had, ho is willing to take him Into a con Aden tlal business on- terpriso with him, to tha matter of Investing the sum of 47,S00,000, and Ur. Macune’s name was used with out bis knowledge also. It looks strange to me all through." Mmcuno arrived In Atlanta tide afternoon. He prints letters re ceived from Gov. Gordon. The last one reads: State ok Gkoroia, Execl-tiv Dei-artuent, Atlanta, Ga..July 21st, 1890.—Dr. C. W. Macune, Lit tle Itoek, Ark. Dear sir:—The en closed la hastily written, but will explain sufficiently. I trust, the plane of our movement. Please read It over carefully, and bold counsel over It with the Brother hood. You will obaerve that the uamesof tho dlreotora for several states have been left blank.-Advise how beat to All them. Each director will be given 46,000, possibly 410,000, of slock; tut let this be confidential for the present. Yours Trjly, J. B. Gordon.” As M acune passed through At lanta ou his way back to Washing ton, he notified Gordon that he would not serve as dlrectar. After thle notification bla name appeared In a printed prospectus without hla knowledge or consent. The offer of,stock ex-, plains the presence of other names on the list of dlreotora. W. J. Nortben, It Is said, agreed to the uee of hie name. * Macune, In bla card furnlahad for publication, contrasts sharply Oor- N0 DEAL MADE, BUT COL. HAWKINS CALLS A MEET ING TO CONSIDER IT. An Interview With ltsyor Felder-A Card From Col. Hawkins—A Mooting Called For To-Day. Mr. W. H. Allen is dead. This announcement will no doubt carry sorrow to many hearts to* day. For several days Mr. Allen had been unwell. The slight paralytic stroke, which came last Saturday, seemed to produce effects from which he never recovered. The stroke Saturday appeared to bo only temporary, and shortly afterwards he appeared to recover considerable strength, and It was hoped that his recovery would be complete, but early yesterday morning heggew rapidly worse aud at twenty minutes past ten tho spirit took its everlasting flight from this earthly life to the broad and enduring life beyond. Mr. William H Allen was born in Houston county in 1831, and was fifty nine years of age. At the age of twenty, four he married in Perry, Miss Mattie Cox, with whom he lived Inthe tender* est affection the remainder of his life. He spout most all his life In the school room, and all over the coun try muy bo fouud many who owe their youthful training to him. Since the war he lias resided with his family at ltainbridge, Dawson, and other places, engaged In the work of the school room. About five years ago he moved with his family to Americus, and after a year spent in teaching, hft entered the hotel biMnens in which ho has remained ever since. He was a devout and consistent member of the Methodist church aud his life was ono of noble nnd unceasing Christian work. He was loved and leapected by all with whom he came In intimate contact, and by all such lie will bo long and affectionately reipembeaed. He leaves a devoted wife and six children, all of whom are grown. The children are Mrs. J. G. Parks, of Dawson, Mrs. A. E. Chappell, of Macon, Mrs. Johu Taylor, of this city, Mr. Will T. Allen, of Amerl cus, and Mr. John D. Allen, of At lanta. All of the children who do not Hvs In Americus are expected to arrive In time to be present at the funeral which will take place this afternoon at three o'clock from the Methodiat church. * Ilev.

H* H«s Ilcsigntd. To the People of Ameilcus: It was announced In yesterday's Recorder that I had been elected a policeman by tho Police Commis sioners. I bad been urged by many friends to bocome a candi date, and consented to make appli cation, having very little idea, how ever, that I would be elected. I was so certain of this that I made other arrangements, aud upon bo- ing elected found myself in an em barrassing position. Yesterday I tendered the commissioner* my resignation, aa I can do better In another capacity. I write this to let my friends aud tho people know that 1 fully appreciate tho honor conferred upon me, and regret my Inability to serve. W. K. Harris. All tho Leading Corporation* Merced IJ tier Ono Manii(cment—The JHtnTl* of (he l*cal—An Important Americus, Ua., Heptember 23. —(Special.]—One of the largest and most lni)»ortmnt deal* ever made In Americus was consummated hero on Friday with closed doors, as was the policy of tho parties inter ested to keen tho matter a profound secret until after certain ‘‘fences were put up,” so as to control all the collateral boneflta of tho boom that will result when the nature of the deal becomes known. Co!. S H. Hawkins, on behalf of the Americus Investment Compa ny, Mayor Felder, president of the Americus Electric Street Railroad, and Mr. G.C. Scofield, general mail ager of the New York Construction Company, which is the principal owner of the stock of the Street Railroad Company, tho Electric Light aud Power Company, the Gas Light Company and tho Loo* ton Park Lana Company, have, after lengthy negotiations, agreed upon the terms of a trade by which Col. Hawkins becomes the pur chaser of tho property and fran chlscs of these companies In Amer icas. This deal has been on the tapis for some time, but Gal. Hawk ins’ figures woro regarded too low, until finally a bail, of agreement was reached Friday. Mr. Hcofleld left lor New York on Saturday where all the papers covering this big transaction will be prepared, elgnod, aud sent to Americus, after which it was de- Hlgned-to make the facta public. The value of the property and franchlaea to be tranaferred la about 4260,000, but the price paid and tho terms ot payment and other details cannot be ascertained yot, aa Colonel Hawktna and Mayor Felder will not give onfany Infor mation on the subject. Thus the financial genius of Col. Hawkins again comes to the front in the Interest of Amerlcne, foi this property, the street railway In particular, fa of more Importance and benefit than any other Institu tion hero except the Savannah, Americus and Montgomery rail road, of whloh lie Is the head, and the acquisition of thee# other prop erties by him and tha Americas Investment Company, the Elyton Land Company, of Georgia, marks courage or ner convictions aa w future, and her own people willing to pat up their last dol on anything that will promote I People wonder whan they find how rapidly health Is restored by taking P.

White the New York Contract Company, which made these In vestments, haa large means, It waa ganerally thought that their Invest ments her* were of the nature of a schema, which they might retain, sell out, or allow to lag, aa their own Internet, rather than Amerl- cus. might dictate. Colonel Haw- kin’s scoop fixes the future ot these enterprises, identifies them wholly with Americas and adds another feather to hla can aa tha great de veloper of Americus and southern Georgia. Amerlcua capital, Amerlcua brains, and Amerlons energy now control absolutely every enterprise In and around the city; and while foreign capital and co-operation la always welcome, Amerloue has the courage of her oonvlotlone as to her *— J ’ ile are dollar her prosperity. This was aurprl.ing news to The ItKconDEK. It knew that such a deal waa likely to be made, but could hardly believe that a paper two hundred miles away could get It first. A reporter was immedi ately detailed to see Mayor Felder, President of the Electrlo Street Hallway an* Lee ton Land Compa ny. Finding the genial Mayor In hie office, the reporter showed him the article, and asked: What about the big deal referred to In the Conetltutlon? 1 Mayor Felder replied: “I know of no deal," What!” said the reporter, President of tho Htreet Railroad and Leeton Park Land Company, and know of no deal by which they era scooped by Cot, Hawktna?” Mayor Felder again aald: "There la no deal," “What, then, lathe foundation ot the article?” the reporter asked. "I will tell you what there is, aud you can draw your own concln- alone," said the Mayor. "The eon- trolling Interest ot the Street Rail road, tbs Light and Powor Co. and Lae ton Park and Land Company Is owned by tha New York Contract Co.,of New York.They are construc tors ot gas, water and electric light plants, and have built quite a num ber of plants In various Southern | aud Western dtlee. Their object < bavlug bcou accomplished at this point, they ure not adverse to sell lug this or other plants that they may owu. It has been thought by a number ot cltlxene here that those plnnts should bo nwnod by n local company or Individuate, hence sev eral efforts to purchase them have been made by different parties, but nothing definite has resulted. “Col. Hawkins recently renewed negotiations for tho purchase of the proporty, and a price waa named him, which price he la now considering. He may take or reject it. f can’t aay which. I hope that ho will aee hla Interest, and that of tho community, by accepting the offer, and I consider the property very cheap and Join heartily In the opinion of thole who think It ihonld be owned aud controlled by home people. There la nothing In the facta to Justify a prudent reporter In writing the Constitution's arti cle. Col. S. H. Hawkins called on tho Recorder' later, and asked for space for a communication on the ■abject, which was readily given him, and hie communication fnl fows: Editor Recorder:-I am re quested to aay whether the article lo the Atlanta Conetltutlon on the subject of “A Big Deal In Amerl- cus" Is true. No deal has been made aa stated, or otherwise, and yet negotiations have been going on and may 01 may not ho consum mated. Much depends on the peo ple of Amerlcua whether tha so called deal Is ever oonenmmated, and therefore It Is thought advisa ble to bring the matter to the atten tion of the people In a public meet ing to be held at the opera hone# to day at 6 o’clock p. m. At this meet ing the people will ha told of tha prospects of the "Big Deal." S. H. Hawkins. It Is supposed that Col, Hawkins calls this meeting to renew the question of organising one big company to buy nil tha unimprov ed property In Amerlcua, which question waa agitated last spring, and waa so favorably considered. The time aeeme to be ripe for such a movement, and then la no qneetlon but what It would mean great things for Americus.
