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.

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.

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 ing ” There Is no greater misfortune that can befall a woman than to let a man marry her believing she Is an angel.
