THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, APRIL 24. 1891. JOHNS, SHAW, THE CHAMPION” Clothier & Outfitter, 117 P'lmylli St\ .1 martens, Ga.. Is prepared to clothe the people of Americas and vicinity; in fact whole of Southwest Ga. with OUR STREET CARS. WILL THE LINE BE OPERATED AGAIN SOON? Th. Question Being Dally Asked on All Bidee-And Tot There le no Answer— A Little Clipping on the Subject Prom the Maoon Telegraph. That is correct in style and|perfect n (it.

In our line of business we are the recognized leaders, and we propose to continue to carry off the honors, While we postess all the requisites necessary for tho success of a legiti mate and dashing business, WE HAVE THE LARGEST AND FINEST STORE IN THE CITY. WE HAVE THE LARGEST AND FINEST STOCK IN THE CITY, and wt are known throughout this section as the “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. u don’t need any ice to keep cool.

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.
