there is no danger whatever of a crash or

“You people down south here seem

Of course if your planters insist on plant
ing all cotton forever and ‘forever there
is no hope. Already there is something
over a million bales of cotton held over
as a surplus from last year’s crop. The
estimates for the coming crop place it
as about the same figures as those made
for last year. That will give a still larger
surplus next year. Of course if this
thing goes on, things will go from had
to worse and the people will find them
selves in that position geographically
described as ‘between the devil and the
deep sea.’ Rut I have every reason to
bolieve that the cotton acreage lias been
decreased in Georgia. The farmers, or
most of them, are in a condition to run
through this year. Next year they can
plant less cotton and recoup themselves.
“Why, the farmers of the south can
actually dictate the price of cotton.

gap between that place and the river
and to surface up the uew track.
Ry the time the immense iron bridge
across the Chattahoochee river is com
pleted this will be done, and then all
will be ready for trains to go through
from Lyons to Montgomery. This will
be September 1 at the outside, say the
men who are in a position to know,
would be sooner but for a delay in the
shipment of some of the bridge ma
terial.
When the first train runs through to
Montgomery will be a graud day in the
history, of Americus.

ger of them falling into the old
rut ami planting all cotton
again. If they will grow less cotton in
stead of talking about growing less* the
farmers of the south cannot only dictate
the price of cotton, but they can dictate
in almost everything else. That is why
I say they have the thing in their own
hands.
“I guess the farmers think that every
body knows more about their business
than they do themselves. I have studied
the matter carefully and t!**se are my
conclusions ”
Mr. Ernest was asked 1 If he thought
bucket shops would ever be opened up
in this country again. His opinion was
that owing to the many failures which
have followed in their wake he didn’t
think the people of the south would
ever tolerate them any more.
As has been stated in Thk Times-Re-
coRDEit this gentleman is a member of
the executive committee of the demo
cratic club of New York. He was asked
about the third party. He is not
inclined to think the movement
will ever amount to much. It
is his opinion that if the democratic
party would lay aside its name, but keep
its principles intact, it Would catch all
alliancemen in the republican states, ex
cept those who want to ride into office
on the wings of some party and who, in
view of the fact that none of the old
parties will take them as standard bear
ers, arc ready to stand at the head of a
now party. He thinks the democrat-
party comes nearer meeting the
demauds of the alliance than any that
can be organized, and believes that the
south will still be solidly democratic.
He believes party prejudices will hold
the republicans .of the west, except
where they have been rightly converted
into democrats and that the third party
will not be in it 1892.
These conversions, he says, have been
many, and he is confident of success for
democracy in the next presidential elec
tion.

picture indeed and one that is highly

Ben J. Rooks is a free man. •
Friday morning he engaged a law
yer to certiorari his case and the decis
ion was then to tight it out on that lino.
Judge Alleu Fort was too unwell, how
ever to hear the certiorari, so another
consultation was held by Mr. Rooks,
his attorney aud his frfcnds. The re
sult of the conference was a decision to
pay the tine and settle the matter
speedily and once for all.
Late Friday afternoon a check was
given for the money, the prison doors
were opened and Rooks went forth

Warrant lor Ktb«rt Head.
Elbert Head, one of the best known
personages in Americus, is now at Hot
Springs for his health. When ho comes
home he will be arrested by an officer of
the law unless a warrant which now ex
ists against him is withdrawn before
that time.
The warrant was sworn out by Col. J.
A. Ilixon at the instance of some of his
clients and it charges old man fclbert
with destroying records, in the shape of
some deeds. The case bids fair to be an
interesting one. •

It will be of interest'' to The Times-
Recoi:de»*s thousands of Baptist read
ers throughout the country to know that
C'ordele will, in 1892, he the center of
education for the Baptists of south Geor
gia.
From a Cordele gentleman who was In
the city yesterday it was learned that
the Freddie Shipp Female College will
soon he a grand reality; and its comple
tion promises great things for the girls
in this whole section.
Several months ago thirteen Baptist
associations, comprising a territory of
several hundred miles in all directions
in south Georgia, mot and came to the
conclusion that the people of tills part
of the state needed an institution, for
the higher education of the girls.
They decided to act at once, so a com
mittee was appointed to select a loca
tion for such an institution. They re
ceived bids from many of the towns in
south Georgia and by a donation of $12,-
000 and an endowment fund of $3,000
together w ith a free site Cordele secured
the college.
Notes have been signed by the sub
scribers making twenty per cent, of the
amount payable July 1 and fifteen per
cent monthly thereafter. So that work
on the buildings will begin at once.
3 hejdans are being prepared now,
and it is safe to say that no college
buildings in the state will be more con-;
venient or better adapted for the work
for which they are intended.
An interview with one of the pro
moters of the institution brought out
some interesting facts. “Its territory,”
ho said, “extends from the Georgia
coast on the cast to the gulf, and as the
thirteen Baptist associations have a con
stituency of 10,000 the college will he
tilled to overflowing with students.
It will bo conservative in its manage
ment. Although it VI11 be under the
control of Baptists, sectarian tenets will
have nothing to do with if.
“Besides the college proper, for the
purpose of educating our girls in all the
branches common to our best female
college, there will be a primary depart
ment for the education of both sexes as
in the best high schools.
“We intend to keep up with the times.
We want first-class instructors in all de
partments aud just as soon as possible
we will furnish the college with every
needed aparatus.”
“Much preliminary work,such as secur-
lift titles to (property, a charter for the
college and designs for the buildings,
will delay the work some, so that tho
institution may not he abte to open its
doors for a year, but when the doors are
opened— •
‘•Well, the baptists of south Georgia
will have a college to be proud of.”
Cordelo lias served well her own In
terests in securing this college and the
people of Americus can serve theirs by
establishing a iirst-ciass fcmalo seminary
here.
Cordele has set an cxainplo in this
matter that Is worthy of imitation.
Thore is no reason in t[io world why
Ame’ricus girls should go off to sccuro a
college education. Theic is evory in
ducement hero—except the college—to
attract girls from other places to Ameii-
cus to have the Itnishing touches added
to their education.
Suppose some effort is made to secure
a non-sectarian female seminary, the
equal of any in the country, here. It
can be done if some one will tako the
lead in the matter.
