THE STREET RAILWAY.
LET SOMETHING BE DONE TO SE-
CURE RESUMPTION.
The People Should Now Combine Upon
Some Definite Action—Let Not the Out-
elde World Bite Cento to Call Pi I n
,'opMilve or lleckward.
Tiik TiuKs-ltKcoiinER has no apology
to offer for thus again setting before the
people of Americas the serious light in
which the street railway problem should
be viewed. It is a matter of vital
moment, and as was said in yeaterday’a
issue, the time of personal prejudice has
passed, anil every good citizen should
join and uphold a combination looking
towards the successful termination of
the business.
Then let some live and enterprising
citizen take In hand the business of the
reorganization of the company who con
stituted the purchasers of tbe June re
ceiver’s sale. It seems as if this might
easily be accompished. Money is now
much more plentiful than at that time,
and tbe owners of tbe property seem
anxious to rectify the mistake made by
tbem in rejecting that proposition,
which guarantees to them six per cent
upon an investment, even though this
amounts to the city as a payment of less
than three per cent, upon the first cost
of the line.
To the observer this would seem fair
and equitable.
The existing depression in financial
circles is not by any means confined to
Amerlcns, but is general throughout the
whole country, and this presents to our
city an opportunity to show to the world
that tbe spirit of enterprise is not dead
yet, but exists in life and force.
The matter cannot be too strongly put,
as at this time to give up and acknowl
edge ourselves beaten in this enterprise
would .furnish to onr would-be rivals
capital for much damaging talk as to tbe
claims of Americus as a city of energy
and public vigor.
As rats desert a slaking ship so enter
prising citizens flee from a town when it
displays evidences of retrograding
Therefore, let it not be said of Americus,
which, from its past vim and push, has
already raised itself to a high position
among tbe live towns of the country,
that a small matter of this kind has
proved a stumbling block in the path of
improvement and progress.

Maj. Glessner Is a native Ohioan and his

A SUGGESTION TO FARMBBS.
Raise More Produce and Poultry—A Ready
Sale In Americas.
At almost any of the grocery atorea la
this city may be teen numberless barrels
of cabbage nnd other produce, crates of
eggs and coops of fowls, all of which
bear the unmistakable Impress of iropor
tation.
Sumter county, while perhaps not so
well adapted to large trucking interests
as somo other localities, at least could
raise enough £for borne consumption
with probably some surplus remaining
for shipment. Ready sale would be
commanded for every pound of produce
raised and also for every fowl and all
butter.
The people of tills city are good livers,
asgwill be evinced by the heavy sales of
table commodities even at the increased
price which must necessarily be paid for
them when brought from a distance.
There could be a lucrative business
established in tbe breeding of fowls
alone. The maintenance is almost nom
inal in cost, aud with cleanliness and
care os to food they can be protected
from disease, which is, perhaps, the
worst enemy of the breeder.
With the opening of tho Hotel Wind
sor there will bean even greater demand
for all table delicacies,’and there awalta
for tbe farmer who will give attention to
thia matter a profitable business.

“Tbe road to fortune is through print

World’s Fair Convention.
At an early date a meeting of Georgia
editors will be held in Macon for the
purpose of formulating some effective
system of raising funds by which the
Empire State of tbe South may be fitly
represented in Chicago in 1308. The
last legislature did not deem tbe matter
worthy of appropriation, although in
general matters they were exceedingly
liberal In their disbursements from the
■tate treasury.
The fact that the press of Georgia baa
taken up this matter In earnest is el-
most a guarantee of a successful termin
ation, and the newspapers should be
heartily co-operated with in their efforts
to prove to tbe outside world that in re
sources the state bat few equals and no
superiors.

A Mother's Baby Girl Caught ■ Fold
in K Bed.
Atlanta, Nov. 4.—There was al-
most a fatal accident to-day on Peters
street.
A six months old baby was nearly
crushed to death in a folding bed.
This morning Mrs. Mary Dickson,
who recently moved here from Talla
poosa, was shocked to find her six
six months old baby bad been caught in
a folding bed, and its left arm broken In
two places and tbe little girl baby’s head
fearfully bruised.
Mrs. Dickson had gone into tbe ad
joining shed room to prepare breakfast
for her children and left the little baby
in tbe bed. Tbe two older children,
three and five yean old, it is supposed,
thought they would help their mother
straighten up the room, and as they
had seen her touch e contrivance and
fold the bed, undertook to do so with
out taking the precaution to first take
their baby sister ont of tbe bed.
The screams of the baby, mingled with
the cries of the other little ones, attract
ed Mrs. Dickson's attention, and she
rnshed into the room to find the bed
folded back with the baby wedged In.
The bed was lowered just in time to
save the baby from suffocation, bat not
antil the left arm of the little one had
been broken In two places, and tbe front
and side of it* head body scarred.
Several neighbors and people passing
bp went to tbe rescue in response to the
loud lamentations of tbe mother, and
rendered such aid and comfort as they
could—the main oomfort being s volun
tary contribution of money to help the
mother get a doctor and some splint* for
the baby’s arm. In a little while the
baby, with proper care, will be all righL
Mrs. Dickson, between be/ sohs, said,
‘I never did wish to buy it, but a fellow
driving a one-borse wagon came along,
and he said to ms that it was all the go
in Atlanta, and I took it on the install
ment plan. I am going to put my mat
tress on the floor to-night, for it might
catoh me next time, and when I see him
again he will be obliged to take it out of
my house without any of his palaver
