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 MALICIOUS RUMOR, AND ONE WHICH HAS NO FOUNDA TION IN FACT. Would b« lllval Market* Endeavor Divert Cotton from America* Through ' FnUe Kepresentatlon—An Effective Ilefu tatlon from Reliable konrcee. 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 .perfection; and Mies Bertha Llvingiton, as Mias Ashford, the ecoentrle medium, deserves special mention. Mr. W.

The crop, however, ie consider ably cut off from what the farmers ex pected two months ago. 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.
