CARPETS! REGS! MATTINGS!
Some Beautiful New Styles JufcT Added to
Large Stock on Hand.
th
You have heard a erreat deal about the advance on Carpets in
consequence of the McKinley bill, and the half has hardly been told j
but my opposition to a protective tariff leads me to do all that I can to
lessen the burdens it imposes, and I am determined to sell you
Carpets AS IOW AS Y(5U EVER BOUGHT THEM, REGARD
LESS OF THE TARIFF.
To enable me to do this I sell for CASH, and at MUCH
SHORTER PROFITS than I could do ou a CREDIT. I will take
great pleasure in showing my Carpets to everybody.

I. Regard to th. Stmt Railroad—The Uil j the latest improved electrical apparatus
Proposition Declined, lint Ihnt of July
ad Would be Accepted—Let Something l>e
Done In Regard totbe Matter at Once.
The following extracts from a letter
written to Mayor Felder by Mr. George
W. Morse of Boston explains the present
outlook of the street railway; and Indi
cates that the prospect is excellent for
its operation, not upon the basis of the
last proposition made by our people, but
upon a former one of July 3d:
We are sorry to inform you that the
Thompson-IIouston Company, after ma
ture deliberation, decided that they
would not operate the Americus Street
Railroad.
If the subscriptions obtained by Mr.
Kenny were an absolute subsidy, the
conclusion might have been different
They amount, after all, to only a guaran
tee of the sale of so many tickets or
passes
If the road cannot now be sold or leas
ed, there is no alternative, of course, but
to take it out Before deciding, how
ever, to do that, we are prepared to sub
mit something definite in order that the
people of Americus may have an oppor
tunity to retain the road and operate it
themselves; and, with that end in view,
we are prepared to again take up the
negotiations which were started last
July, and crystallzed in the proposition
of July 3,1801
We are prepared to say now, that,
rather than take out the road, we would
be willing that your people should or
ganize a local company and issue bonds
for $35,000, these bonds to be a first lien
and mortgage upon all the property and
franchise* of the railroad. The four cars
and motors, now in good order, to be re
turned to Americus. You can then turn
over to us the full Issue of bonds, and
guarantee six per cent, interest upon the
same in advance, semi-annually, by local
trust company, bond or satisfactory per
sonal security, you to guarantee to oper
ate the road or pay us Interest for at
least three year*. After that time, If
you ceased operating or defaulted In the
payment of lntepsst, and foreclosure of
■aid bonds became necessary, you to pay
all expenses of said foreclosure proceed
ings and to give us guarantee company
bond* or satisfactory personal security,
also to protect and Indemnify us against
said expense* of foreclosure, together
with a bond to pay other debts or liabil
ities wbiob might come legally against
the railroad property while you are so
operating; you also to agree to indemni
fy us against loss in the event the prop
erty should not be returned to us in as
good condition as when it came into your
possession. You to also agree to keep
the cart insured against loss by fire, etc.
This Is substantially what you hare al
ready proposed, and if your people are
Inclined to take up negotiations again
upon the above bails, we are ready to
deal with you; and for that purpose, will
•end Hr. Kenny to Georgia again to per
fect lucb an arrangement
The following la the proposition made
Mr. Morse July 3 by a local syndicate, to
which reference is made abo/e:
Proposition of July 3d, 1801, to Geo.
W. Morse, Esq., Boston, Mass.
We to organize a local company with
capital stock of five thousand dollars
with the right to increase to any amount
not to exceed one hundred thousand
dollars.
Issue first mortgage 0 per cent inter-
eet bonds for tblrty-five thousand dol
lars, which raid bonds are to be a first
lien and mortgage upon all of the prop
erty and franchises of the railroad.
Turn over to you the full issue of
bonds, tbirty-Uve thousand dollars.
Pay you interest in advance and seml-
annnaljy on the face of said bonds.
In the event of foreclosure of said
bonds, we to pay all expenses attending
■aid foreclosure proceedings; we to give
guarantee company bond or satisfactory
personal security to protect and Indem
nify yon against said expenses of said
foreclosure, or such other debts or lia
bilities aa may come legally against the
railroad property while in our posses
sion. The bonds to be twenty year
bonds and snbject to call at a price not
to exceed one hundred and three.
Yon, George W. Morse, your succes
sors and assigns to take away the four
cars formerly installed in the Americas
street railroad (two of which are now
leased to the receiver of the Macon City
and Suburban Bailroad) and substitute
therefor and In place thereof six lightly
constructed cars, such as are usually
or outfit.
We to operate the lines as now laid
down.
We to have the option to buy the
bonds at price above named, or to cease
to operate the said railroad at any time
after one year, by giving you sixty days
notice of that intention, in which event,
however, we to pay all expenses of fore
closure if you elect to forclose, and in
connection therewith we to agree to help
you expedite such foreclosure by be
coming voluntary parties to any proceed
ings of foreclosure you may institute, or
as otherwise you may determine. We
also to agree, if you so desire, that a de
cree of court be entered at first term for
receiver's sale, and do all other things
that you may desire for the speedy ter
mination of any such proceedings.
You to have the option to buy or sell
the railroad or cancel this contract after
one year, by giving sixty days notice in
writing to the board of directors of our
company, you, in the event of purchas
ing the road or cancelling tills contract,
to pay the paid-up subscriptions to the
stock of our local company with six per
cent Interest on same, or if all the sub
scriptions shall have been paid, you to
pay par value for said stock, with inter
est of six per cent per annum.
This not to apply incase of default on
our part In payment of interest or of dis
continuance by us to operate the road.
From tho above extract it will be soon
that the only thing for the people of
Americus to do is to take this matter in
hand nod carry it to a successful com
pletion upon the bail* proposed In July.
That the operation of the road would
redound to the vasi benefit of the place
and people is a fact not to be disputed.
With the completion of the Hotel Wind
sor the street railway will be almost a
necessity, and why not some enterpris
ing citizen proceed to the re-organiza-
tlon of the original stock company which
offered to purchase the road in June
last?
This a matter In which the whole com
munity la vitally Interested and the
operation of the line must be re-com-
menoed, if not on the most advantageous
terms, then on the best to be had. The
owners will not remove the track If any
thing definite can be done by our people.
Perhaps the meeting yesterday after
noon was not as well advertised as It
should have been. Let the oitlzens con
solidate upon this Important question
and secure to the city this necessity, of
which it stands so much in need.
W. C. ltussell, druggist desires to in

The Maj.in fair of last week was a
most gratifying success in every respect.
Great crowds of visitors, good exhibits,
and considerable attraction in the way
of fires.
The usual fall supply cf live stock is
appearing upon the market, and the
number of finely bred animals daily seen
on the streets gives to the prospective
buyer a good chance for choice.
For an Inland city the number of salt

There will be a real live circus here
next week, with a vast menagerie and

What l> the Matter with the Free Postal
Delivery?
Americus, according to the decree of
the postmaster general is surely entitled
to a free delivery system and the Im
provement should bo inaugurated.
The city haa been mapped and num
bered and even tbe street boxes located,
yet there seems to be some hitch In the
final arrangements and this is what is
troubling us. Surely polities can have
no influence upon tbe matter at this
time.
The city Is entitled by every right to
the advantages and it is to be hoped that
some action will shortly be taken by
the administration to fulfill the promises
made to the people.
