8 £ mm 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. STAND AND DELIVER! THAT IS WHAT I TAX COLLECTOR DUNN WILL 8AY TQLYOO. The County Rat.

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 Executive Department, Atlanta, September 28.—Pursuant to section one of tax act, approved December 25, 1800, and amended by an act, approved Sep tember 28, 1801, which requires the gov ernor, with the assistance of the comp troller-general, to levy a percentage on the taxable property of thia atate. suf ficient to meet the requirements thereof, not to exceed a certain per cent, named therein, and after approximating, as nearly aa practicable, the amount of all taxable property In the state, as exhibit ed on digests and other returns, it is Ordered, That three and five-tenths uf one par cent.
