THE NAME- 1 BBT AM UK SHOE STORE. THE PLACE:— 119 Forsyth St. amerious, ga. "I am completely disgusted with this everlasting whining and croaking about hard times being right ahead!" exclaim ed a well-known citizen. “How is that, colonel?" queried the reporter. “Well, I'll tell you. A man nowadays can’t go anywhere or talk with anybody without having ilred at him tho cry of ‘hard times are coming, and cotton soon won’t bo worth a cent a pound,’ and ali that sort of poverty-stricken rubbish say I am sick of this bosh. How do these croakers know that tho price of cotton is going to fall still lower? W here do they get their information? Haven't we just as many people in tills world to clotho and feed as we had fifty years ago? Are not the wants of the human family just as numerous as they ever were?” “Tlmt’s so,colonel; you're right. But the fact is, there is a scarcity of money among tho people. Yon will admit that, eli, Colonel?" n ihlly suggested the re porter. “Xo, sir; I’ll admit nothing of tho kind. Scarcity of money? Bah! There never was as much cash in tho country as there is to-day. The only trouble ap pears to bo that some poor old dried up souls, who are as sapless as a squeezed lemon, have got the idea that there is going to he another Hood, and that they must protect themselves against tho rain by hoarding up a handful of old greasy hank notes. Now in the name of all that is decent, what aio these old grannies going to gain by burying their money out of sight?” “Well, colonel, that is the chief rea son why money is scarce—because many people are afraid to put it out—to in vest it." “Why should any man who has any claim to bo regarded as human entertain such idiotic nonsense. What right has anybody to block the wheels of trade or Interrupt tho happiness of his fellow man by hugging the delusion that when the time of trouble comes he will escape with tho few dollars that he has on a little private ark of his own. Are such men aware that this vast human family has claims each upon the other?" “Well, colonel, what would you sug gest—what is your remedy?” “Oh, I would stop all this bugaboo bosh abouthard times; inaugurate anew era of conlidenco in mankind, and talk cotton up instead of talking it down. Isn’t it just as easy to prophesy that times will bo good as to bo constantly croak ing about hard times. Why not believe that nine-tenths of mankind arn straight and honest—which they are—instead of suspecting that every man’s a thief or a confidence operator. Where is all this boasted Christianity of tho nineteenth century; all this loving your neighbor as yourself, and all that sort of thing which is boing taught in all our churches? Arc we honest in our professions of being disciples of tho Nazarone, who never owned a dollar or a brick; or aro wo liv ing frauds, who profess to bo Christians, and yot secretly worship Mammon. Let us understand cacli other, and quit sail ing under false colors. We all know what Is written: “Ho who is not with mo is against me.” That Is tho kind of a man I am; and I am not afraid to fling my banner to the breeze everyday in tlio week as well as on Sunday. What we want is Christian honesty and less du plicity in our dealings with our fellow men. Let us give up playing a double game—Christians on Sunday and trying to get tho best of our noiglibors the other six days of tho week. For my part, if I claimed to ho a Christian, l would stand by tho principles of Christi anity, and would scorn to be a hypocrite. And Christianity teaches that we should do unto others as wo would have others do unto us. Now, what I want to know is, Who follows this golden rule?” COTTON GOING FP. The Thin! Bale to Arrive Brings Ten Cent* Per Pound. “Whoa?’ shouted Anthony Glaze of Lee county, as he brought up with the third bale of cotton this season in front of the warehouse of Johnson & Harrold yesterday morning. Although this bale of cotton got only third place In the race, yet It reached the top price, having been bought by Hitt & Co. for 10 cents per pound. It is worthy of notice that cotton, so far this season, has a decidedly upward tendency. The first bale brought in by Mr. Clay, sold for JJc; the second, by Mr. Jenkins, Oj; and the third, by Mr. Glaze, 10. The Times-Recobder re garda this as a good omen, and hopes that the prices will be maintained throughout the season. TWO BALES OF COTTON RECEIVED YESTERDAY-THE FIRST OF THE CROP OF 1891. One of 383 Pounds from Sir. C. C. Clay's Place, in Lee County, nnd One Welching 314 Pounds from Sir. B. P, Jenkins' Plsce In Sumter County. Ayer’s Hair Vigor Restores the original color to faded and gray hair, keeps the scalp clean, and Imparts that natural gloss and freshness so universally admired. “A little more than two years ago my hair began turning gray and falling out After using one bottle of Ayer's Hair Vigor my hair was restored to its original eolor and ceased falling. An occasional application has since kept the hair in good condition.”— Mrs. H. W. Fenwick, Dlgby, N. 8. “Ayer's Hair Vigor Is excellent for the hair. It stimulates the growth, cures bald ness, restores the natural eolor, cleanses the scalp, prevents dandruff, and to a good dress ing.

Lost evening, at about 0 o'clock, the first bale of the season was captured by that energetio warehouseman, Mr. L. G. Council, who secured the first bale of cotton last year August 2. Mr. C. C. Clay Is the planter who land ed the winning bale. This much prized first bale was bought by the well-known firm of Littleton & Lamar for 0J cents. These are the cold facts in regard to an event which is always looked forward to every season with the greatest Inter est; but who can tell of the struggle on tho part of all concerned to come in first under the wire in this laudable contest. Planters, warehousemen, brokers, etc., are all keenly alive at this time to secure tile distinguished honor. The bale which arrived last night from Mr. Clay’s place was picked, ginn- jed, packed, weighed, and sold in one day. This is a remarkable performance at tliis time of the year, when tho amount of territory gone over is consid ered. In tho opinion of good judges, the time made in landing this bale of cotton in tho market ’beats the record, And the fact that this halo was hurried through to this point by express shows that nothing was left undone to “got here” ahead of all competitors. After the baio which had been care fully expressed by Mr. Clay to this city by tho S. A. M. railroad passenger train which arrived hero about 0 p. m. and was triumphantly carried to the warehouse of Mr. L. G. Council, and as the shades of night were falling fast, a democratic mule, engineered by fifteenth amendment from the planta tion of Mr. B. F. Jonkins in Sumter county, entered tho city and hauled up, with the usual “whoa” of the driver. The bale brought by Mr. Jenkins' negro was even at this late hour care fully housed in the warehouse of the veteran and reliable warehousemen, Messrs. Council & McGarrah. The bale weighed 514 pounds. It was sold to Col. A. S. Cutts for 0j cents per pound. A singular coincidence is, that both of these “two first bales” came from the vi cinity of DeSoto, on tho S. A. M. rail way. The negro driving Mr. Jenkins' bale to the dopot missed the freight train which passed DeSoto an hour or so before the passenger and express train, upon which Mr. Clay expressed bis bale. Mr. Jenkins takes great pleasure in real izing that, whilst his was the first bale really ready for shipment, and missed the train only by a few minutes, he brought it with his industrious mule, who made the crop, within a few hours of Mr. Clay’s, and a much larger bale. The Lg t y 0Ur gQQfl DollaTSlaild VOUr gOOd SeilSD negro chuckles that he got a better , price for his bale. j bring you to the Artesian Corner always. The generous rivalry between such progressive and prosperous farmers as Mr. Clay and Mr. Jenkins is a matter of congratulation to all. The Times-Ke- coiideb wishes both success. $5.00 to $25.00.
