WH^ATEEY & The Leaders of the Fine Dress Goods and Dry Goods Trade. 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 day, August 11, and calls upon the press j subscribe to The Times-Recorder, or 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. WITH THE WEEKLY PRESS. Blakely will issue $5,000 In bonds and build a college. It is thought that the bonds can he placed with homo capital ists. Tho editor of the Houston Home Jour nal lias discovered that tho man in the moon is not a man at all, but a beautiful woman; and Perry is a dry town. Ayer’s Cathartic Pills are recommend ed by the best physicians, because they are free from calomel and other injuri ous drugs, being composed of purely vegetable ingredients. While thorough in their action, they stimulate and strengthen the bowels and secretory or gans. of Georgia to lend its aid in awakening the people to a proper sense of the dan ger, and urging them to act beforo the movement of cotton begins and the crisis is actually upon us. The Times-Uecobdkk has no desire to pose as an alarmist, but feels that it would be derelict in its duty not to| sound a note of warning. It Is notthe part of wisdom to sit su pinely and wait until trouble comes. “The prudent man foresees the evil and hides himself, bat tho sfmplo pass on and are perished.” who read their neighbors’ papers. 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. The Minnesota AUianccinen have dis covered that they cannot participate in the great wheat corner proposed jby the Holler circular. A Minnesota statute enacted in 1688 makes the proposed ac tion a criminal conspiracy. Last week Mr. Will Anderson, tho young man who killed Mr. John B. Gas tello, in February last, and Miss Lou Tickle, daughter of Mr. Shelton Pickle, of Cuba, were married.—Blakely News. 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 Valdosta Times, as follows: W ANTS A HUSBAND.—An old bachelor ora widower needing a wife will please ess Miss 8. F. lAkxandbk, Bristol, Flu, B.—Fan give re fere aces in regard to Malaria ami Broken-Down Constitution. 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., july28d!2tw2t T. P. Conwc. 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. •J.LA. ■Hood Will Toll. 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. Use Hall’s Vegetable Sicilian Hair Kenewer and your thin gray locks will thicken up and be restored to their youthful color, vigor and beauty. The devil feels proud of the man who joins the church to make money. 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. John Quickly Extemporized Five Tow Haas. 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 anteed to give satisfaction, or price ($1.00) refunded. To talk shout charity beginning at home is only another way of lotting poo- ‘ lrew pie know that we are stingy. &4Klfl0 POWDER Absolutely Pure.
