I‘ really think that the worst is over and that there is no danger whatever of a crash or panic now. Money matters are easing up everywhere and I think 1801 will go down as one of the most prosperous years in the country’s history. “You people down south here seem to have the thing in your own hands* 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. “Understand me, I dou’t mean to say mules and construction trains will be moved back to Ilurtsboro, to finish the 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. About the llinhoprir.

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. This engine is manned by those two artists.

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 free man. 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. • From OeorglM.

A very low rate will be made for the round trip—$3 00 and you will miss oue of the chances of your life if you fail to go on this excursion. % 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.
