A GRAVE SITUATION.
Tub Times-Recorder feels Impelled
to call attention to a very serious trouble
in store for tbe South, which will result
when the West shall have absorbed for
the movement of Its wheat crop the
bulk of the reduced volume of currency
available in New York for the gonoral
crop movement.
Thirty-five million dollars wore re
quired to move the crops last year; and
it is said that $10,000,000 more will be
needed this season than last, while the
actual supply will be even less than bo
fore.
The West, marketing Its wheat crop
first, will l>e first served with all the
money it needs, leaving the South to do
as best itcanwith thowbolly Inadequate
supply of currency remaining.
Unless some vigorous action is at once
taken by southern bankers, factories
and merchants, a most distressing stato
of affairs will be found to exist in the
South, on account of this lack of money
to move the cotton crop, especially at
the outset.
There never was less monoy in tbe
South than now; and the quantity need
ed to move the cotton crop will proba
bly be greater than ever known in our
history; for to the large yield of 1801-02
must be added a half million bales car
ried over from the last crop.
This emergency seems to demand that
the business men of Georgia moot to
gether in council and confer on some
method of preparing for the trouble that
will surely come, unless proper precau
tions are taken to provido against It.
Let there be a convention of leading
business men in Atlanta, to consider this
financial constriction, and deviso ways
and means to remedy it if possible.
“In the multitude of counsellors is
safety.”
The Tiues-Recouser suggests Tues-
Duiusa the late scssiou of the Ala
bama Press Association, Senator John T.
Morgan delivered a speech, iu which he
said: “If every family in Alabama was a
subscriber to some good newspaper, I
would consider that wo wore fifty years
in advance of the present.” This solid
chunk of wisdom is commended to tlio.se
people in this city and county who don’t

Announcement.
The Times-Recorder is pleased to
announce to its patrons and friends that
It has secured the services of Mr. John
Foster, who will occupy the local de
partment of the editorial staff.
Mr. Foster is a gentleman of large ex
perience In journalistic work, and
comes to Americus with the highest
recommendations.
Any favors shown him in the discharge
of the duties of his new field will be
duly appreciated by the management.
The assignees of Moses’s bank, Mont
gomery, Ala., which assigned July 0th,
have filed a schedule of assets of: the late
firm. Tito assignees make no estimate
of value, but the amount is placed nomi
nally at $3,000,000, which consists
largely of stocks, bonds, real estate and
lands distributed in various sections of
Alabama. The liabilities are placed at
$1,100,000. The creditors now propose
to form a trust company, all to take
shares to the amount of their claims,
and the plan Is thought to be a feasible
ono and likely to result in securing the
holders of claims against loss. Thero
has been no other financial trouble hero
on account of the failure of this bank,
Other banks bave not been in tho least
affected, and business is going along as
usual. In olden times Moses led the
people out of tbe wilderness; now Moses
has led them into the brush, and tbe
people are preparing to lead him out.
Thus is tho leader led.

crisis is actually upon us.

Tho phenomenal success of Ayer's
Sarsaparilla started into existence a
host of competitors. This, of course,
was to bo expected; but tho effect has
been to demonstrate the superior merits
of Dr. Ayer’s preparation by a constant
ly increasing demand for it.

Tho barbecuo of the Houston County
Voteran’s Association at Perry last week
was a great occasion. Forty carcasses
were barbecued, and the old soldiers
and their friends enjoyed tho feast. A
number of new names wore added to the
roll of members.
The canning factory at Katonton is
doing a prosperous business. It lias
alroady put up over 0,000 cans of black
berries, and is making good headway
on peaches, apples, tomatoes and other
fruits and vegetables. Tbe Mosseuger
says it is a financial success.
The Carncsvillo Enterprise has
changed hands. Mr. A. W. McConnell,
whose recent controversy with his
neighbor, Miss Ellen Dorscb, attracted
considerable attention, retires, and Mr.
Joe Scott appears at tbe helm. Per
haps the latter can effect a compromise
and consolidate the papers and editors
too.
THINGS BOOMING
Hero is a splendid opportunity for
somo old bachelor of Americus to es-
capo the tax which tho legislature is
trying to placo upon that species of hu
manity. The advertisement is from tho

Waycuoss, Ga.—Dr. II. Whitehead:
Dear Sir—At your request I will state
my case. JSome years ago, I contracted
malaria in its most violent form, while
living at Newark, X. J. I consulted va»
I r’ous physicians and took numberless
preparations recommended . as “sure
cures,” but it stuck to me like a brother
— or more like a mother-in-law. I
nally came south, and while here tried
new remedies, said to always cure ma
laria, and it stil* stuck to me, and |you
know the broken down condition l was
in when I catnc to you. You put mo to
taking your P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium,) and I improved
rapidly, and am to-day in as good health
as I ever was—in fact better. As a rem
edy for a broken down constitution it
has no equal. Yours, etc.,

In tbe Old. Seventeenth District, Sumter
County,
Very many persons in our own county
are entirely ignorant of the fertility and
beauty of this charming portion of our
county, and the excellent husbandry of
the citizens. I am sure I was until re
cently, when I had occasion to make a
visit to this section. Every crop I saw
was unmistakably promising. 1 mention
tiioso of J. M. Bird, M. I Logan, tbe
Davidson Bros., John E. Thomas, Ed
Zimmerman and Henry Williams.
Besides these there wero others wor
thy of note.
Mr. Bird lias on hand now fifty bales
of old cotton, 1,000 bushels of last year’s
corn and 1,000bushels-of new oats. I
saw many acres of cotton that I am
sure will raako a bale to tbe acre, hav
ing already thrce-fourtlis of a bale on
the crop.
The corn was simply magnificent, and
will easily run from fifteen to forty
bushels to tbe acre. The old seventeenth
is booming, and will rank with tbe host
in the county or stato.
I found tlie irrepressible Capt. Jim
Ross working vigorously to proparo an
exhibit for Sumter county at the ap
proaching state fair. On this line tbe
captain knows no Buch word ns fail, and
judging from what I saw on his farm I
am confident ho will surpass all his
former displays. It is to be regretted
be is not more liberally aided by bis
fellow citizens and neighbors in his por-
sistent endeavors to hold up the name
and reputation of old Sumter.
By the way, I could not, while looking
on the glorious prospects of the farmers,
repress tho thought that there was no
necessity, at least in tlie old seventeenth
for any complaints about hard times.

Of course it will—that Is if it is good,
healthy blood. It will glow in tlie
cheek, and tell tlie story of perfect
physical health. If it does not, if the
complexion is devoid of color, the
muscles weak and flaccid, something is
wrong, and something ought to be done
about it at once, for in such cases delays
are dangerous. For torpid liver, “bilious
ness,” and the thousands and one ills to
which these conditions of tho system
load, there is no remedy in tho world
equal to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. Boils, pimples, eruptions,
scrofulous sores, salt-rheum, and all
kindred diseases are cured by it.
Worrying about tilings you can’t help
is as foolish as to throw stones at tho
sun when its shining doesn't suit you.

A Correction.
In an article yesterday, tho statements
of which were given to The Times-Re
(-order by a gentleman from Richland
who was an eyo witness of the occur
rence, an error was made, in that it was
said that tho rules of the S., A. & M
railroad conflicted wih the municipal
regulations of Richland, whereby tho
engineer was fined for blowing bis whis-
tlo inside tlie limits of that town. From
tlie officials of the S., A. & M. railroad
tbe information is obtained that the
rules of railroads on this subject are fixed
by tbe state law, which, while provid
ing for engineers blowing signals at all
posts on tbe lines, specially excepts tlie
incorporated cities and townB, and pro
vides for ringing engine bells instead.
A special rule of tbo S. A. & M. rail
road provides that tlie whistle shall not
be blown within the corporate limits of
Americus, Cordelo and Richland, and the
engineer in question was really acting,
it is claimed, in violation of tho rules of
the road instead of in accordance with
them, when ho blew tho blasts which re
sulted In his being fined $25.
It is claimed by tbe mayor of Richland
that the fine was not excessive, in view
of tho fact that the city authorities were
defied, and that he was urged by many
to make the fine $75 or $100, tho full
limit allowed, because of the course pur
sued by tho engineer.
Whatever be tbe result of tho contro
versy between tlie authorities of|Kichland
and the engineer, upon which The
Times-Recordeh dues not propose to
pass judgment, It is proper to state that
tho railroad is in no wise responsible for
what occurred by virtue of any rulo
compelling tlie blowing of signals.

This is a meaningless sentenco, but it
contains all the lettors of tlie alphabet,
live of theso letters spell “woman," and
largo numbers of women believe in tho
virtues of Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescrip
tion—a purely vegetable compound, for
her use only, and an unfailing cure for
tlie many ills that beset her. It recuper
ates wasted strength, restores tho func
tion, and fits her to bear and rear
healthy offspring; promotes digestion,
purifies tho blood, and gives activity to
the bowels and kidneys. In a word, it
is woman’s cure and safeguard. Guar
