THE AMERICUS WEEKLY TIMES-RECORDER: FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1891,
A MALICIOUS RUMOR,
AND ONE WHICH HAS NO FOUNDA
TION IN FACT.
Would be Itival Market* Endeavor to
Divert Cotton from America* Through
FhIm (rprcBcntatlon— Au Effective Refu
tation from Reliable Source*.
The Timks-Recobi>kr reporter was
yesterday informed that the report had
been circulated through the surround
ing section (and even published in some
of the near-by village sheets) that the
Americas cotton buyers had run short of
nd were unable to pay for the
iought to the cit) ; determined
to r« i the facts in the case the differ-
»m • li icial institutions of the city were
int* : ovod on the subject:
y ■ Speer, of the Bank of Southwest
Ue #1 when approached on the sub-
jcet - .id:
“>*• far from there being a stringency
ii. in uev, we are daily paying out from
$>I<V W K) o f:10,000 for our cotton buyers,
and Ii tve never intimated to them that
then* must even be a limit to their pur-

Railroad* Going to Grata.
A few years ago, when under the
management of the genial and aesthetic
Major Belknap, the Central railroad
began to plant grass plats at or near its
various depots, Major Belknap jestingly
remarked: “If the agents don't raise
grass, we will raise the agents "
The raising of grass might be advan
tageously started by the Southwestern
Division of the Central all along every
foot of its dusty line; for the experience
of the S. F. A W. In raising grass along
its road bed is certainly most satisfac
tory, according to the Thoraasville
Times. It says:
“Parties traveling over the lines of the
S. F. & W. have noticed that the road
bed, both on the side and between the
rails, has been allowed to grow up In
grass and weeds. Heretofore the roa J-
bed has been kept perfectly clean and
free from all growth, but experiments
recently made have shown that this was
money spent for nothing, as the grass
and weeds kept the bed from washing
and the road in line, reducing the
amount of labor very considerably and
kept the road in a much better and safer
condition. Railroad men say that it is a
big improvement over the old plan, not

is an abundance in the vaults for

v enviously malicious, and if you
. iu toto you will ouly set forth
the true state of affairs."
C.»] t, II. C. Bagley, of the Bank of
Ani" leus, when informed of the current
rumor ouly laughed as he said:
“Why, the thing Is absurd on its face.
In *hw first place, instead of there being
a - .Mrcity of funds, the Bank of
Ann ricus expressed only this afternoon
-a package of currency to Savannah, and
in the second place our arrangements
with that point are of such a character
tha» vill enable us to be amply supplied
with funds between the hours of closing
to-d ly and openiug to-morrow, even if
such contingency should arise. The
rum 'r, I am sure, has not the slight
est truthful foundation and should be
emphatically denied in justice to Aiucri-
cun buyers."
From the abovo it seems that even
those who run may read, and readily see
that surrounding markets, envious of
the advantages offered by Americus to j __
producers, have endeavored to circulate 1 JtlOSlQPy,
among the fanners these false reports.
On portions
of the road where the grass has been
allowed to grow, there Is no dust at all,
while it is almost suffocating where the
road is kept clean."
