3 THE AMEKICUS DAILY TJLMES-HECOh OER: -WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 4. 1891. 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. J. J. GRANBERRY, AGT. TO RUN OR NOT TO RUN 'that is the question still be fore AMERICUS drawn by ono horse or mule. Two of said cars to be closed and four open, all of said cars to be furnished with cash boxes and register dial of the latest de- j sign as well as 10 It. P. Thomson-IIous- ton motors, and to be ready for use with 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 form the public, that he is agent for the most successful preparation that has yet been produced for coughs, colds and croup.

Mr. John Turpin, a worthy and highly respected citizen of Americus, passed away yesterday and joined tho silent majority beyond the great unknown.

Is there no relief for suffering citizens. The election returns as shown so far hold forth great hopes for a sweeping democratic victory during next, the presidential, year. 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 water fish sold 'on the streets of Araeri- cus is something marvelous. - Fresh mullet, trout and bass command ready purchasers, and many stands now flour ish where fire years ago one would have had a struggle for existence. There will be a real live circus here next week, with a vast menagerie and two rings in whioh the gaily bespangled performers will gyrate. Quite a number of the young people have decided to get up a “circus party,” which will take In everything, concert, side-shows, red lemonade and all. Unique, but enjoya ble. E. D.

MATTHEWS & CO LET VS HAVE IT. 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.
