THE AMERICUS DAILY T1MES-RECORDER: THURSDAY, MAY 21, 1891.
LET THERE BE LIGHT
wet.l. KNOWN CITIZEN TALKS UPON
THE QAS QUESTION,
And Propoae, to Subscribe SA.000 Toward.
Organizing a New Company—Think. It
Will Provo a Paying Investment—Let
the Move be Started.
“I will subscribe live thousand dollars
to the capital stock ot any company that
will go to work to givo Amorlcua anoth
er gas plant.”
Thug spoke one of the most prominent
and enterprising citizens of Amerlcus
yesterday, and he meant just exactly
what he said.
“And what of the possibility of organ
izing such a company as you propose?”
ventured the news man.
“Possibility? Why, there's no question
whatever upon that score. I know that
a company can be organized that will
erect a gas plant, and give Amoricus
such gas as she never had before if only
a slight effort is made to do so.”
“And would it be a homo company,”
asked the reporter.
“To a great extent, yes,” the gentle
man replied, “but I am sure that fully
one half the amount of the capital stock
needed can bo raised outside of AdlQll-
Cus, am) with little or no trouble at that,
if necessity should require.”
“And you think that such an enter
prise can be operated profitably here ?”
the reporte. asked.
“It would be one of. the very best pay
ing enterprises in the city. Already, as
you are well aware, hundreds of citizens
have gone to thetrouble and expense of
fitting up their honses with costly gas
fixtures, which, under the present con
dition of affairs, are utterly useless.
These people will patronize a new com
pany gladly, as will toores ot others who
would use gas If It could be had.”
“And I want to add this,” he contin
ued, “if the people who own the mains
and who hare possession of the franchise
granted by the city, ever expect to do
anything towards giving the city gas
again, let them at least make a begin
ning! it that direction, or else get out of
the way And Rive some company that
will do it a chance. We want gas, and
must and will have it."
The above, as previously stated, .was
spoken by one of the most, prominent
businessmen in Amerlcus, and his opin
ions as expressed are but the opinions of
a hundred others here.
For six or eight months, perhaps
Jonger, Amerlcus has been without gas,
and do'far as la known there Is no pros-
peet of ever getting it again very soon.
True, it was rumored about the streets
some time ago that another company
was about to be organized for the pur
pose of operating the old plant, but
nothing has recently been heard of it
As the gentleman quoted above says,
hundreds of people have put costly gas
fixtures into• their houses, and even
though the gas previously furnished was
of the most inferior qqality, ft- beat
nothing at ail, and even a return to that
kind of stuff would be hailed with de-
light • ' .
Let a determined movement of some
kind be mado towards organizing a com
pany and starting work again and, as the
gentleman already quoted says, “if the
present company cannot or will not furn
ish the city with gas, let it get out of
the way and give those who would do it
aohanoe.’.’ .
The people want gas and will have it,
and little they care wbat company op
erates the plant so they get what they
need and must hare.

THE SUPERIOR COURT.
REGULAR SESSION OF MAY TERM TO
CONVENE NEXT WEEK-
Complete Lists of the Grand and Travel**©
Juror* Drawn For the Term—The Set
tlon Will be « Busy One—Important Cote*
to be Disposed of.
8umter superior court convenes here
on Monday, next, and the outlook Is
favorable for a busy session.
An unusually large number of civil
cases are to be disposed of, which, with
the usual number of criminal cases that
appear, promises to keep the court busy
for the full term of four weeks, if not
longer.
There was some discussion yesterday
08 to whether the civil or criminal dock
et would first bo taken up, and an effort
was made to find Judge Fort In order to
have the point settled. This was not
done, liowover, and it is to be presumed,
therefore, that the proceedings will be
in the usual order.
Following is a complcto list of the
grand and travers jurors drawn for tlip
term,
