THE AMERICUS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 2H, 1891.
#IE STREET CARS.
A GOOD SUGGESTION AOVANCED BV
THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE.
Mr. K.nny Talk* Further Concerning the
the Possibilities of Opentloi tho Amerl
cat Street Kell way—How He Propose*
to Here It Done.
Tub Times-IIecoiidkic reporter called
yesterday on Mr. Tlioa. F. Kenny, the
representative of the owner of the
Amerlcus Street Railway, and |n coarse
of the conversation Mr. Kenny expressed
himself as confident in the bright future
of Amerlcus and assured the reporter
that his personal Influence would he
used in behalf of the speedy resumption
of traffic upon the line.
As regards the proposition already set
forth he said:
"Your article in to-day's issue was
correct, so far as it went. The theory
of the scheme proposed for the opera-
tion of the electric road was very clearly
stated, but there is something additional
to be accomplished before we can hope
to bring about the desired result.
“It is well understood that to put this
load in successful operation requires a
very considerable outlay of money on
our part, as it will take about *22,000.00
the first year to pay the operating ex
penses, sad famish the six new 10 H. P.
motor cars required.
“Now, the main thing, of course, Is to
get started and operate the first year,
without a bitch, as'the greatest strain
will come during that period. What
we must provide for Is a successful out-
come during these first twelve months,
and when that Is brought about the road
will have a substantial and permanent
footing.
“At your article stated, a small body
of gentlemen offer to purchase tickets
to the amount of *2,000 during the first
five years; however, they receive In re
turn $2,000 worth of tickets, which is
equivalent to that much cash. So far,
so good, bnt as you stated, this is only
a starter along the line, which we must
follow to achieve ultimate success,
. “Now, in addition to this, in order to
bring about the successful operation of
the road we want thirty of the business
men and property owners of Amerlcus
to come forward and subscribe one hun
dred dollars each for the first
year (requiring only tho display
of a little public spirit and en
terprise, which, In other affairs, your
people do not seem to lack). For this
$100, this necessary assistance, each sub
scriber will receive a ticket over the road
which entitles him to passage for one
fall year. How much is this equivalent
to f Well, it costs a business man who
regularly takes a car to aud from bis
office $75 or $80 per year, so, deducting,
say $75 from the smount of each sub
scription, it will be seen that the smount
of his outlay for the publio weal Is
ridiculously small when It is considered
what the operation of the road means to
the wboie city.
“This subscription, you understand,
will be but for one year; with that ac
complished the scheme is made feasible,
and I would be In a position to take hold
and help carry it through,
“I think tbs people are convinced that
we are willing to do what is right, and
it now only requires a little effort on the
part of the business men and property
owners to make the proposed plan a suc-
VtlAJABLE LANDS.
Americas Makes a Ten Strike in Florida
Pbosphftfe Lands.
Messrs. T. M. Allen, E. Taylor, T. £,
Allen and W. P. Wallis, who are jointly
interested in the T. M. Allen phosphate
lands in Florida, received yesterday a
letter from Mr. H. C. White, professor
of chemistry at the Athens State Univer
sity, to whom they sent samples of rock
from their beds, conveying to them the
cheering information that his analysis
assayed for them the best possible re
sults: 74.31 of bone phosphate lime
being found in the test.
The gentlemen concerned control a
tract of 137 acres of this land, and lying,
as it does, contiguous to both railroad
and steamer transportation, opens for
them a field of possibilities of future re
munerative working easily calculated by
the observant.
The manufacture of fertilizers has in
the past been largely dependeut upon
employment of chemical amalgamation
for its product. The phosphate strata
of the above analysis needs littlo manip
ulation to bocome a commercial ferti
lizer of the highest order, and the pro
jectors of its manufacture, residing as
they do In the heart of one of the finest
agricultural sections in the state, we
predict for them the establishment of a
business which will in time assume pro
portions of a most important character
to our general farming and business in
terests.

A Barrel of Money.
The Nashville Press speaks as follows
of the play which will be given hero next
Wednesday night: “Every person in
the theatre expresaed their delight by
liberal applause of tho performance, and
by favorable comments as they were
leaving the house. The company is
atrong and well balanced, and the per
formance went as smooth as could pos
sibly be desired. The iron mill scene
which introduced a stationary steam
englno with machinery In full operation
—belts revolving, wheels and bands
whirring—presented at the climax
of the third act ono of the moat
thrilling sensational effects ever seen
upon the stage here. The machinery is
stopped just in time to savo the life of a
yourggirl being borne to certain death
on one of the large belts. Aside from
its thrilling element “A Barrel of
Money" presents eleven or twelve dis
tinct types of character, the laughable
and original comedy complications fol
lowing one another In rapid succession,
yet being spiced with intense human in
terest and n degree of probability for
eign to farce comedy.”
Mr. Kenny will remain a few days
longer, aad the people of Americas may
rest assured of his hearty cooperation
to any arrangement tending to the resto
ration of aq active street railway system
ior the city.
The Private Secretary.
The audience which greeted this com-
• pany last night waa the largest of the
season. They, by continued applause,
pat the (tamp of approval upon the play
and after all that Is the best criticism.
The company la a moat excellent one,
- and the comedy one of the purest ever
played to an Amerlcus audience. The
parte in this laughable farce were well
taken aad admirably executed.
From the first act to the last the play
• excited the liveliest Interest Mr. H.
Rees Defies, In his role, Mr. Cattermoie,
waa Inimitably funny. Handsome Ed
win Travers, as Douglas Cattermoie,
played the loving Private Secretary to

as Mias Ashford, the ecoentrle medium,
deserves special mention. Mr. W. M

Wreck the 8. A. • M. R. R.
A wreck occurred at the crossing of
the G. S. A F. and the 3. A. & M. rail
roads at Cordele Thursday night, but
fortunately no fatalities occurred.
It seems that the S. A. A M. freight
train No. 31 was standing on the cross
ing, wbeo the G. 8. A F. train came up
at a high rate of speed and crashed into
the others before they could be stopped.
As far as we can learn, the extent of the
damage amounts to a ditched engine for
the G. 3. A F, and two wrecked care for
thoS. A. A M.
The Timkh-Rkcobdkk reporter was
yesterday informed that the report had
been circulated through the surround
ing seclion (and even published in some
of the near-by village sheets) that the
Americas cotton buyers bad run short of
money and were unable to pay for the
cotton brought to the city; determined
to reach the facts in the case the differ
ent financial institutions of the city were
Interviewed on tho subject:
Maj. Speer, of the Rank of Southwest
Georgia, when approached on the sub
ject said:
"So far from there being a stringency
in money, we are dally paying out from
*10,000 to *10,000 for our cotton buyeta,
and hare never Intimated to them that
there must even be a limit to their pur
chases. We are glad to see it come in,
and havo no doubt that the reports you
speak of were only originated for the
purpose of diverting the shipments from
this point by some envious competitor.”
Mr. John Windsor, of the Poople's
National Rank, when told of the rumor,
remarked:
“Let tho farmers bring twice tho
amount they naw bring here and they
will find themselves promptly paid for
every pound of it. Our institution is
paying out In the neighborhood of $10,
000 per day for the fleecy staple, and
there la an abundance In the vaults for
all that may come In. The report is ev
idently envloualy malicious, and If you
deny It In toto you will only set forth
the true state of affaire."
Capt. II. C. Bagley, of the Bank of
Americus, when informed of the eurrent
rumor only laughed as he said:
'Why, the thing ie absurd on it* face.
In the first place, instead of there being
scarcity of fnnds, the Bank of
Americus expressed only this afternoon
a package of currency to Savannah, and
In the second place our arrangements
with that point are of such a character
that will enable us to be amply supplied
with funds between the hours of closing
to-day and opening to-morrow, even if
such contingency should arise. The
rumor, I am sure, has not the slight
est truthful foundation aud should be
emphatically denied in justice to Amerl
cua buyers."
From the above it seems that even
those who run may read, and readily see
that surrounding markets, envious of
the advantages offered by Amerlcus to
producers, have endeavored to circulate
among the farmers these false reports.
