“No profit grows where is no pleasure taken.”—Skakspeare.
The immortal bard probably had no reference to our busi
ness when he penned these simple words, but they apply with
force nevertheless, for experience has taught us there is only
profit in trade when our
CUSTOMERS ARE PLEASED.
We take a PERSONAL PLEASURE in our business
and hope to derive a profit therefrom; but we also take a gen
uine pleasure in PLEASING OUR CUSTOMERS and
thereby contribute to their pleasure and profit as well.
MR. w. E, H. 8EARCV TO THE ALLI
ANCE OF GEORGIA.
A Straightforward,Manly Letter Bringing
the Writer Before AlUancemeu ne . Can
didate for President of the State
Alliance.
Mr. W. E. If. Searcy, of Griffin, is a
candidate for president of the State Al
liance. .
He is one of the state's most promi
nent citizens, and a lender in tlie Al
liance.
Both he and his record are well known,
and the following address to the State
Alliance puts his position plainly before
all:
Brothers of tho Alliance:
The Alliance of Spalding county has
nominated me for the position of Presi
dent of tlie State Alliance of Georgia.
They did this on their own motion, and
against my request, but in a way that my
personal regard for them will prevent my
declining.
They instruct their delegate to vote
for me, which brings me before your state
THE EXTREMELY LOW PRICES we have been offering ^Vttt^hou^dtLTJeive
of late, in many instances yields us only a small i the support of others.
margin above I I am not the candidate of any faction
| in tho Alliance. On the contrary, I
1 look upon every Allianceman as my
THE ACTUAL COST j friend and brother.
| No one has been consulted as to my
j candidacy, outside of my own county.
Of our goods, but we are having the satisfaction this season i am totally unpledged to any side of
of showing the any q uest i° n that may nome before* the
Alliance, and am In no clique, ri/ig or
combination of any nature.
I say this much that every brother
may know that I stand only on the plat
form of the Alliance, under the banner
of Peace, Unity .and Fraternity.
Having had the controlling interest in
the Southern Alliance Farmer, our or
gan, for some time, and having been ed
itor of the Farmer and Fruit Grower, of
Griilin for years, my position on the
: principles of the order have been known
and read of all men.
i 1 not only favor the principles of our
order, but I try to illustrate them in my
life and conduct. I have devoted my
brain, my bands and my money to. its
success, and my earnest prayer to God is
that the Alliance may prosper and final
ly meet with that success they so richly
. . . ! merit.
Ever shown in this city. And the gratification is ours in know- j j <j 0 no t come into the arena to create

break the Influence of any man, or to de
stroy bis usefulness. I come simply at
the Instance of those who know me best,
to try to enlarge my sphere of what they
call “usefulness to the order.'-
I have no unkind word to say about
any one, and I trust that those who do
me the honor to press my claims, may
do It In “wisdom, justice and modera
tion."
If elected to the position of President
of the Allliance I will do all I can to put
,the entire organization in the way of
building up and fostering the financial
condition of Its large membership
through the principles of co-operation,
locally and generally—locally through
their own enterprises, and generally
through their exchange. I believe that
my experience in these .matters will be
worth something to the order in the ac
complishment of these purposes. I
should take the Alliance into no posi
tion upon any matter without first ar
riving at its wishes In the premises, os
may be expressed In its laws, or declar
ed by the official action of its advisory
committees. When men act on their
own moUon, they lometimes fall into
error, however, noble and honorable
their Intentions may be. The wise man
said: “Where no council Is, the people
fall; but In the multitude of councellors
thero Is safety."
Our order Is too grand an organization
to be imperiled on the account of any
thing. Everything of ovory nature to >e
done, therefore, should bo bereft of sel
fishness, and only tlie common good of
all be sought in evory action taken. Tap
per truly says: “Confidence cannot
dwell where selfishness is porter at the
gate.”
With these sentiments on my lips and
in my heart, I say to the great brother
hood, if you think another can serve you
better. Lake him instead of me, and let
this be as though it was never written.
With no enemies to punish, no friends
to reward, no personal interests to sub
serve, I am just as willing to bring up
the rear as to lead in the front.
The matter Is now with you.
Fraternally, W. E. H. Searcy.

New York, April 8.—Ten more Im
migrants were debarred from landing
yesterday and were placed on board the
steamship which brought them here
Four of the debarred immigrants were
consumptives, one was suffering from
“alopecia,” the scalp disease which
caused the rejection of eleven others on

The other five were rejected as being
liable to become public charges.

A 02.000,000 Hotel For Atlanta.
Special tn|TlXES-EKcoKoeu.
Atlanta, April 8.—A report is cur
rent here to the effect that A. E. Flagler,
who built the magnificent Ponce De
Leon Hotel at St. Augustine, contem
plates tlie erection of a hotel In Atlanta,
to cost 82,000,000.
It is certainly known that a strong
effort has been made to purchase all tlie
property in tlie magnificent block,
bounded by Marietta, Peachtree, Walton
and Broad stroots. ■
Mr. Hcaly and tho other property own
ers on tlie block have all been approach
ed about a salo of the property.
In this connection the rumor was start
ed and given much credence, that A. E.
Flagler, tho millionaire who built the
grand Ponce de Leon hotel, was endeav
oring to purchase the block for the pur
pose of erecting upon It a *2,000,000
hotel.
Such a magnificent hotel would be of
inestimable ralue to Atlanta, and would
immediately prove a fine Investment for
the owners.

course.
The girl ran and walked ten miles,and

from home.
She went back at noon yesterday ex

Cordele, April 8.—Cordele's pluck is
■till carrying her forward.
And every day but adds strength to
her already solid and substantial pros
perity. Without auy pretentions, she
has steadily grown In population and
now enterprises, and to-day finds her
forging ahead of any new town In the
South.
One, of the most important enterprises
which has been established In Cordele
for many months is the Iron foundry,
reoently put in operation by the Cordele
maehlne shops.
It is Indeed an interesting scene. An
Immense furnace roars and puffs day and
night, while a stream o molten Iron
passes from it into huge buckets, and is
carried hither ap<l thither by men who
empty it iuto moulds of every imagina
ble shape.
It looks like business.
It could hardly be otherwise than bus
iness with the present management at
the head of the enterprise, Mr. R. G.
Tomlin, the president, is ono of the best
business men and shrewdest financiers
in the state. He Is for Cordele first,
last and ail tho time, and he backs his
faith with his money.
Mr. Ruse C. Harris, one of the beet
practical machinists in the South and n
man who la well known for his business
sagacity and financial ability, is secreta
ry aud treasurer and personally superin
tends the foundry and maoblne shops.
Cordele is very proud of her now bank,
organized last Thursday.
It's uame Is tho First National Bank
of Cordele, and $50,000 la the oapital
stock. Dr. George W. Marvin, Messrs.
John S. Pate, James E. Bivins, Dr. G.
M. McMillan, Col. Z. A. Littlejohn, Mr.
W. E. Murphey and Mr. J. W. Bivins
were elected direetors.
These directors elected at a subse
quent meeting Dr. George W. Marvin,
president, Mr. Japiee E. Bivins, cashier,
and Mr. J. B. Austin, head bookkeeper.
Dr. Marvin has been Inventing in Cor
dele real estate for over a Jyear and the
more he invests the better he Is pleased.
He owns n block of neat cottages here
which he keeps rented all the time. As
president of the new bank he will add
great weight and Influenoe to tba Insti
tution.
Mr. Pate, the vice-president, la known
frame one end of Dooly county to the
other, and to know him is but to admire
hia shrewdness and hie money-making
qualifications, Hell very popular and
he deserves to be.
Mr. Bivins is too well known to the
readers of Tux Tihes-Rkcorder to need
any commendation from my pen. For
over two years he was cashier of the old
reliable Bank of Cordele, and Its success
le known far and wide.' He la's yonng
man of means, who knows how to inn a
bank ancooasfnlly, and who believes im-
plleUyln Cordele.
Success to the new bank.
A prosperous year la ahead of this
magic city. Those who have watched
the growth of the place from Its Infancy,
and know the situation, predict nothing
bnt prosperity. Those who have but
recently moved here declare that they
can see nothing but good times ahead.
If there wae ever a time when invest
ments in Cordele real estate were suc
cessful (and who will say that they have
ever been otherwise) now le the time.
There is absolutely no reason to doubt
that with her present backing the city
will grow and continue to increase in
wealth and population.

landlord of a large house in Marshall
county took a novel way to evict a ten

was in arrears for rent and bad been re

Columbus, Ga., April 8.—From prom
inent allianceman In the city to-day
from Muscogee and adjoining counties,
It Is learned that Col. Ltvington is ac
tively at work trying to seoure his ro-
electlon as president of the State Farm
ers’ Alliance.
It It reliably stated that quite a num
ber of sub-alliances in Chattahoochee
oounty have discussed the situation, and
have decided to stick up to Livingston,
Friends of Livingston claim that all of
the counties adjoining 8paldlng will
■end delegatee Instructed for Livingston.
They olalm that Col. Searcy le but little
known in the State, and that his follow
ing will aearcely amount to a corporal's
guard.
The race has already fairly opened up '
In this section of the State, and Col.
Livingston's forces are already organ
izing.
Thn Americas Jewelry Company.
In another column will be found an
application for obarter of the Amerious
Jewelry Company, In which are many of
Amerious’ most enterprising eitlzen*.
The organization is a consolidation of
two jewelry stores now here, with
the addition of others and other capital.
It is the pnrpose of the organizers to
have one of the most magnificent stores
of the kind to be found in the State,
keoplng in stock an elegant line of di
amonds, jewelry of all kinds, and a
handsome line of ptanos, organa and
other musical instruments.
A splendid new Iron-front store bouse
will bo fitted up for the company, and
everything will be kept In first-class
stylo.
This company Is another proof of,
Amerious’ growth, and le merely tho
outcome of it. It Is a company with
capital, push and brains, and oan not
fail to prosper.
A point worthy of mention le the faot
that the Iron front will be constructed
by the Amerious Iron Works. Sealed
bide were received from several iron
works in this state and others, and that
of oor works hero was ebeaper than any
for the same work. Their bid wae fif
teen dollars less than tnat of the Chatta
nooga works, not oountlng the freight.
This shows the standing of one of Amer
icas’ pet enterprises.
More House.
Here is an example of how Amerious
suffers for want of store and dwelling
houses.
Hr. Jno. W. Cox, a prominent mer
chant of Griffin, earns to Amerious yes
terday with the Intention of opening a
large shoe store. He spent tho entire
day in trying to seoure a store building
and dwelling house, but could get
neither. He found it Impossible, and
although anxious to locate here, was
compelled to stay out.
This sort of thing has gone along long
enough, and it does seem os If our capi
talists would remedy the trouble. The
building going on now Is enormous, but
evidently not sufficient to supply the de
mand.
Oar growth la eheoked by the scarcity
of bouses, and all lose thereby.
