“When will the electric cars run
again?” U the anxious question heard
upon all sides just now. The rich and
poor, high and low are alike interested
in tho solution of this problem, which It
seems is most difficult to solve.
Many citizens entertain a strong belief
that matters will be satisfactorily ar
ranged within a few weeks and the road
put in operation again, while others af
firm that when twoof the cars were pro
pelled through the streets a day or two
since by mule motors, en route to the
depot, that it was the last trip they
would ever make over the rusty rails
where onco they spun so merrily.
Certain it is that tho cars have gone,
and few believe that they will ever be
replaced. There is comfort, however,
in a knowledge of tho fact that so long
as tlie railroad was allowed to run the
peoplo patronized it most liberally, and
even now would readily give financial
aid to any company who would tako tho
concern and operate It.
The following, concerning the road, is
from tho Macon Telegraph, and may per
haps serve to throw a dim light upon
tlie subject:
It seoms tlie citizens of Americus are
loth to part with any of their street cars
conveniences.
It is proposed that all tlie largo car
and heavy motors which have heretofore
been used on tho Americus Street Rail
road Company be brought to Macon,
where they were badly needed, and that
in case of tlie operation of tlie Americus
road by Americus parties, a smaller and
lighter open car bo purchased in lieu
thereof, with ten-horso power, electric
motors instead of tlie lu's, tlie former
being amply sufficient for the light
grades on the Americus road.
Thero is considerable local feeling iq
Americus tending to make up a syndi
cate to purchaso tho street railroad
there.
Tho people of Macon will congratulate
them if they succeed .as thoy should.
Tho road can never bo replaced for less
than double what tlie Thomson-Hou.ton
Electric Company will sell it for, as we
understand it. It cost about 45,000.
It will even pay to buy it and cover it up
for a time, besides saving the mortifica
tion of a removal.
Competent counsel have given an
opinion that there is no legal objection
to such a removal, if found nccossary.
Competent experts are of tho opinion
that the Americus road could be ope
rated at a profit with light cars, if ope
rated by local parties where all the ins
and outs are under surveillance, and
that those profits will grow rapidly in
future. The same parties are of opinion
however, that it could not be operated
except by suob strict local surveillance.

Some years ago, when the Vassar Col
lege buildings were about completed,
they were inspcctoJ by a committee of
gentlemen and, being in accordance with
the plans of a distinguished architect,
were pronounced very good and satis
factory in all respeots.
But a few days later, a lady went
through with the architect, and she at
once discovered a glaring defect In the
construction of the buildings that had
escaped not only the architect but all
the gentlemen inspeoting as well. She
said: “It is all very nice, but where are
the closets (or tlie girls to hang their
clothes?” “Oh,” said the architect, “I
never thought of that. Why can't they
hang their clothes on nails on the walls?”
But the lady was right; the omission
of the closets was too serious a blunder
not to be remedied, so a closet was added
to each bed room, and not until then was
Vassar Collcgo ready to accommodate
its hundreds of girls.
1 lie building committee of tho Hotel
Sumter find themselves confronted to
day with tho same conditions that exist
ed at Vassar. There isn't a single closet
in the scores of bed rooms in tlie now
hotel.
But one advantage lies with the hotel
committee. Tlie work has not yet pro
gressed so far as to make it cost any
thing extra to make this very nocessary
change in the plans, and tho closets can
be added without any material disar
rangement of tlie present condition
tlie work.
Was tills omission on tho part of Archi
tect Non-man accidental or intentional?
In either caso it is a serious defect,
and ono that will make the rooms highly
objoctlonablc and unsatisfactory to la
dies and families. In fact, many ladies
wuuld not live in rooms devoid of clos-
ota, and unless at least a considerable
numbor of tho rooms designed to bo oc
cupied by families of tourists and others
arc so refitted as to contain closets, the
hotel will be very much handicapped.
Tlie cost of putting them in is as
nothing in comparison with the absoluto
necessity of their presence, and the com
mittee should tako this matter into con
sideration before tho work reaches
stago whore It will mako it expensive to
make this very essential addition to the
plans.
Those who have tried to live in hotels
or dwellings without closets know bow
very serious is the inconvenience, and
whether these very essential features of
comfort were left out by accident, as
was done by the distinguished architect
of Vassar, or bccauso it was supposed
they could bo dispensed with altogether,
the fact remains that no first-class hotel,
or any othor sort of dwelling for that
matter, is complete without a closet in
each bed room where ladies and families
are to live, or.where permanent boarders
of any degree or condition are to make
their home.
The question of a few dollars worth of
partitions and doors should not stand in
the way of remedying this serious blun
der, for blunder it is, without reflecting
upon the skill and ability of the archi
tect.
It isn’t too late to make the change,
and in the interest of tho hotel, the
comfort and convenience of hundreds
who will occupy the building, The
Times-Recoiiiieb asks the committee to
see that this very essential addition is
needed to the present plan.
It would bo better to dispense with
electric bells, or gas, or carpets, than
with closets, os any lady housekeeper
will tell the gentlemen who have this
matter under control,
Americusdon't want to put one eighth
of a million .dollars in a hotel and then
have defects in it that preclude it from
being a first-class one.
