OLOK AT YOUR SHOES I M h M i to Par! -THE- Great American tagle’ SHOE STORE, 119 Forsyth St. Has just what you want. THE VOICE OF COMMON SENSE ON THE SUBJECT. No Trouble to Get all the Mone, Needed to More the Crope-A Stay Law Would Be liutnoue to Our Entire Population— No Necesilt, for Any Such Lee. A Sweeping Reduction will bo made? on, all, Foot-Wear purchased of ,us in the In this Sweeping Sacrifice Sale unpreceedented bargains will be offered on all LOW CUT SUM MER SHOES, andjwo expect that the announcement of this sale will "Sweep the Tom!” We are not after room as most merchants would say—but ore AF TER MONET—room we have enough—but are SHORT ON MONET. If you want to know what we mean by a SWEEPING Reduc tion, come to this 30-Day Clean Sweep Sale, The financial depression which per vades the entire country at this time is generally admitted by all who have given the subject close attention to be •Imply one ot those financial spasms of contraction which strlkei the financial and commercial world at long Intervals, and, after flattering around for a time and creating mueh distrust and uneasl ness, passes away, leaving the financial skies brighter and olearer than before. Such has been the view taken of the financial situation by the best informed and most reliable mea throughout the entire country, and particularly ia our own state. That it would result in any thing like disaster was never thought of by anybody, if everything was conduct ed in the regular way and through the legally established channels. But the recent action of some of the alliance organizations throughout the state, in advocating a Stay Law, has changed the hopeful feeling of our peo ple into one of astonishment and alarm. Alarm not only as to how such an act would affect our people individually, but the credit for ail time to come of the Empire State of the south. If it were possible for such a law to be forced through our legislature, even if it got no farther, it would be suoh a dark blot on our good name that the mention of tho -“State of Georgia” would be a stench in the nostrils of hon est men in every land and in every financial centre. The following interview, with one of, our leading business men, expresses the universal feeling here in Americus, and, undoubtedly, of every honest man throughout the entire state, in reference to the insane proposition of even sug gesting a Stay Law: "Well, sir, what do you think of this action of some alliancemcn and others in advocating a Stay Law?” Interrogated Tiie Times-Recordeu man. “I don’t believe they are serious; the Idea is too absurd and preposterous I” was thequick'repiy of the gentleman. “What makos you think so?" “Well, In the first place, the supreme court of thie state baa declared all stay laws unconstitutional. That ought to settle.the question onceand forever, os far as the legality of the monstrous proposition Is concerned. And In the second place, what in heaven's name does any Georgia farmer want of such a childish and absurd law? Are we citi zens of Georgia so helpless that we want to wriggle out ot our just debts. With all our broad and fertile acres, and the bone and sinew of the manhood of Georgia back of them—are we to sneak behind a law whtoh would be a disgrace to the citizens of bleak Alaska. No, sir; I care not what alliancemen, or any set of men, suggest,that is not the senti ment of a majority of the citizens of Georgia." “But the «xouse for tbii extraordinary step is, that there Is no money In the State to pay for cotton, if delivered, or to pay honest debts. What do you say to that?” “That is the very essence of childish ness. I begin to think that our farmers are being hypnotized by some myste rious power. They are noting as If they had no thinking machinery. No money to pay for cotton or move itl Well, when that time arrives in our state, when we can't raise money to move the crops, then look for a collapse of every mercantile interest in the land. It will be time then to pull the star of the state of Goorgia out of the galaxy of stars which proclaims this to bo a gov ernment of the people and of honest and you will find the Largest and most varied stock of shoes ever offered in Americus and at lower prices than are obtainable else where. THE NAME- m GIT HI M SHOE STORE. THE PLACE:- ..119 Forsyth St. AMERICUS, GA. ’ N. B.—No goods charged at these cat prices, but will bo charg ed at our .regular prices. JOHN R. SHAW i. ,, E59f “Well, how about the cry of money being scarce?” “Oh, of course monoy is scarce for wildcat speculation, and for other shaky experiments; but for cotton, and moving it, there will not bo the slightest troublo —not the slightest. Every farmer will got all the money ho needs for cotton and for all legitimate handling of it. No farmer was over refused money when lie needed It. ‘And I want you to say, with empha sis, that now is tho time for farmers to bring In their cotton—right now. Get it in, and got the top prico for it. Me in Southwestern Georgia, and Southern and lower Georgia ought to bo the first in tiie markot, and receive the highest prico possible. There ought to bo no de lay, no watting, and no fear of getting monoy for it. The money part is all right, and I know it.” “What will cotton bring, in your opin ion?” “Well, that is haul to say.” "How- about tho farmers who will not bo able to meet their obligations, even if they do bring In their cotton?” \ "They will be treated fairly and gen erously, as they si ways are. \V boever heard of a farmer being crowded: by any body if he showed a disposition to tote fair and pay bis debt* when he could. No, air; this i* all stuff snd, rubbish about tho farmer bring pushed to the wail. No such thing. Every farmer j the farmer to-day—honesty and common sense; and not to forget that be is a citi zen of a noble state which ls'proud of its fair fame in the past, and reputation which must be preserved unsullied for all futnre time.” “Do you think that such a bill will be introduced in the legislature ?” "Well, that is bard to tell; but I do hope that our representatives will re member that the fair namo of the state of Georgia is, for a brief period, ia their keeping. Let them look to it that that name Is handed back to the people as unsullied ss they received it, and not a by-word for scoffers in every market place. Let them be faithful to their trust, and all will be well. But, should repudiation dominate a majority of those dressed in a little brief authority now in our legislative halls, there will come a flood which shall sweep the last vestige of the name of the last man who would dare to so disgrace us. Bntof this I have no fear. Wbat is to be dreaded, is the mere whispering of such an outrageous proposition. No, no; don’t mention such an infamous bill as s possibility. The grand old state of Georgia has been steeped to the lips in bloody war and carnage; has suffered pestilence and famine and poverty; has fought calamity in every shape,—and can again,—but never, no, never, will it play the siokly and puny part of a repudiator of an honest debt honestly contracted. “Let certain demagogues prate of the necessity and advantages of dodging a debt if they will; but the heart of nearly every Georgia farmer is above such allurements, and in the end they will prove true to themselves and to their American manhood. “And above all, the farmer most not forget that all such devices will certainly prove a boomerang; and whet he thinks will be a safety plank for him to cling to, will, in the end, in the hands of his ooiored tenant, prove to be the very Im plement which will 'down' him. Let passion cool and judgment rule. This is the only safeguard for the farmer at this critical juncture; and let him ever keep in mind that 'we still have judg ment here; that we but teach bloody in structions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor,’ ’’ ANSLEY’S !!
