THE AMER1CUS DAILY TDIES-RECORDEft WEDNESDAY, SEFimBERW,
THE STREET RAILWAY.
C” MR. KENNY’S REMARKS TO THE PUB-
uc on THE SUBJECT
TT
Confirm the Importance
Action ’ an Creed by the
i-Becorder Yeterdey—Now Is the
to Subscribe.
y* In an Interview with Mr. Kenny yes-
V terday The Tiiies-Rbcordeb reporter
learned that the probabilities for the
sumption of operation on , tbtLAmericus
street railway are favorable, and this
paper would urge upon our business
men the Importance of securing every
additional inducement to the owners to
at once recommence travel over the
line.
Mr. Kenny, when approached upon
the progress already made, said:
i>$ltidn
now in pos-
wbleh I am to submit
_ ties In itostefa,' are proposition*
from individuals here in Americus, ad
dressed to the owners of the property
residing in Boston.
“Please do not lose sight of the fait
that the propositions come from the
parties here, and that the owners of the
property have yet to consider them.
“I am here only as the representative
of the Boston people interested, and
have no authority beyond noting as a
medium through whom some arrange
ment may be arrived at.
“I think it proper that this sbr'ild be
mqde clear to the public, for In case my
parties are not fully satisfied that the
inducements now held out would war
rant them In going down deepeT Into
their pockets for the purpose of putting
this road in operation, (for you are
aware, of conrae, it will take a consid
erable outlay of money) It should not be
made to appear that they were rejecting
their own proposition. They have
made no proposition, but are anxious to
consider one. This proposition which I
now have comes from your people here.
in this mornings Issue, wherein it is
made to appear that the owner required
an assurance of tl.e sale of a certain
number of tickets the first year and that
when this necessary amount should be
subscribed the operation of the road
would then be a settled thing. Mow as
a matter of fact the owners know noth
ing about the issuanoe of a certain num
ber of tickets, etc.
“I was sent here to gel a proposition
and not to make one, and the raising oi
the additional *3,000 for the operation of
the road the first year was a collateral
arrangement to the offer which we bare
of a *2,000 guarantee for five years, and
this one year guarantee is being raised
through the splendid efforts of Mayor
Felder.
"I stated in last’Saturday’s paper that
with this accomplished I would be in a
position to take bold and help carry it
through. However, Mayor Felder has
not yet finished bis canvass.
“There are several parties very largely
interested in land along the line of our
road yet to be heard from. Tho opera
tion of this road will develop their
property and It is not fair to those whose
interests are comparatively small to
-ask them to saddle the whole thing.
“I intend to call upon snob interested
parties to come forward. If they re
spond now will .make our scheme
more feasible.?It must be remembered
that we have lost money In this enters
prise. If we can be now assured of a
good backing our parties will of course
be more Inclined to favor
proposed.
“Wj have until November 1 next to
accept or rejedt the five-year *2,000
guarantee. Before doing -one thing or
the other, we expect to hear from these
parties who are interested, but who have
not yet subscribed.
“There will be a subscription paper
left at the mayor's office. Now besides
encouraging a great public necessity,
their own individual interests demand
that they should interest themselves. It
must be done If we are to operate the
road.' I hope all those who have al
ready subscribed will use their good
offices In this direction and prevail upon
all those who will be benefltted and
who have not subscribed to do so.
“Before going away I would like to
make a public recognitlonof our appre
ciation of the efforts of your paper
throughout in favoring what you be
lieve to be for the'publio good and at
the same time doing Justice to the own
ers of the property.
“You are entitled to high credit for
the spirit you have manifested. It is
readily seen that yon have the interests
of Amsricus at h Art and do not intend
that she shall take a step backward."
From the above it will be readily seen
that while Mr. Kenny does not care to
commit bis people, there is every proba
bility of a satisfactory ending to the af
fair if every one will contribute his share
of help.

Doan of the Opera Haste Will Clove Five
Slnvth ‘ Before the Curtain Fells.
. Messrs. Cain & Brown, managers of
the operwbotfeet announce that here
after the doors of the opera house will
be closed at least five minutes before
the curtain falls on the last act, and no
one will be allowed to leave the house.
This is done to prevent a class of Ill-
bred people who have made it - a prac
tice of jumping up and running for the
door as soon as the play is drawing to a
close. * %%e are people who are Inter
ested ana-want to hear and tee tho last
of the act, and this part of the play will
not be marred by those who have made
a practice of running out. Such con-
duot can bo punished by law, and the
guilty parties will be surely brought to
justice if it is not stopped.
The management might go fur
and confer additional and lasting b
fit upon the publfo'by closing the doors
at the rising of the curtain upon the
first act and keeping them closed until
the curtain fails, as the disturbance
caused by the chronic and systematic
late comers utterly destroys the pleas
ure of those who attend the plays lot
the pleasure that is in them.
“A Barrel of Money. 1
U A Barrel of Money” is an oM-fasliiou-
ed melodrama. The scene is laid in New
England and around the plot is wreathed
all the old familiar traditions *f Yankee-
dom, with an old mill In the back ground
In the piece there ls-no material change
from tha style of melodrama that has
prevailed for the past half century and
will continue In all probability until
life’s tragedy has been all enacted. It's
the old thing of the triumph of virtue
over vice,the uniting of lovers after great
tribulations and a grand finale in which
all things are harmoniously blended.
Why shouldn’t it bo so ?
The melodrama was full of lively in
terest. The scene effects, especially in
the third act, were excellent.

Last year the county yate was 83.
Thla year It wili probably - be ‘ $4.Cfej as
Sumter county must bays, more money
than last year, ns tbero wilt come in the
extraordinary expense of building the
now jail. Hence it is likely that the
county rate, like that of the state, must
bo raised; and os 84.02 added to the
state rate makes just 810 per thousand,
there is a strong probability that this is
what tbo commissioners will do.
This is not however official; the Board
has not yet met, but will do so at once
in order to enable the tax collector to
make up his books and go ahead with
the collection of taxes.
Owing to the delay In the action of
the legislature, the work It over a month
behind last year, and it will take some
weeks yet for tax collectors to make the
thousands of calculations for each sep
arate amount and Individual, especially
if an uneven amount is fixed. If the
joint rate is put at $10 per thousand,
Tax Collector Dunn can get ready to
take In the shekels Inside two week*; If
the rate is an uneven amount It may de
lay his woik until toward November 1.
The regular meeting of the county
commissioners it on Monday, October 5,
but It Is likely that they will meet in
extra session at once to as to help Coi-
lector Dunn forward. - i
