OFFICIALS COME TO AMERICUs
To Adjust the trouble With the Cot.
ton Men.

There is every reason to believe that
the existing trouble relative to cotton
shipments, growing out of the con-
gestion at the compress, and the rule
recently adopted by the railroads as to
the issuance of bills lading on cotton
shipments, will be very speedily ad-
justed.
Americas warehousemen, bankers
and buyers are very hopeful that this
Will quickly be done.
Yesterdays Times-Recorder gave a
full statement of the trouble here. It
is said that conditions as they now
exist have reached stage where q
remedy must be applied.
The cotton men and bankers re-
quested the presence here of the traffic
managers of the Central and Seaboard
systems. They want them to come
and see for themselves the distressing
situation as it exists here. And the
invitation thus extended them has
been accepted.
A telegram to this effect has already
been received here.
Mr.. ". A. Winburne, of the Central
of Georgia, A. Pope for the Seaboard,
and President Hanson, of the Atlantic
Compress Co. will be in Americus
either today or tomorrow for the pur-
pose of investigating the existing
trouble. They will confer with our
people to that end.
It is to be hoped that the trouble
here Will be speedily adjusted.

l claim that every land owner, house
holder and laborng man over FL years of
age and under so, living Or staying in the
parish who is not exempt by law, should
pay road tax either in work or in money.
The vehicle tax I admit is a great improve
ment old mud hole system. But
it is not a thorough, equal or just system.
1t does not reach one half the people who
in justice should pay road tax. For in
stance there is a man living within one halt
mile of town who owns small farm worth
at least $1,000. He vehicle and
pays 50 cents road tax. His neighbor
across the road owns ABOUT $50 acres of
land which he values at over $4,000 He
lets it all out to people living in town; he
has one vehicle, but he lives in town and
consequently pays no road tax Nearly
adjoining the above farm there is a farm
containing $50 arpents valued at $4,000.
One of its owners lives in town, in
Texas and the other in New Orleans. The
land is worked by small choppers, The
owners never pay one dollar OF road tax.
Across the road from the $50 arpents is
another who owns $50 arpents, the
land and stock valued at $4,000. The
owner never pays one cent of road tax on
it, but he has three men that work for him
that have no assessable property who are
| taxed according to the present law for So
days road work, S2I.oo. Here find
four men with 500. 900 worth Of property
| that don't pay one dollar of road tax and
three men worth nothing that are taxed for
SO days of road work.
Will any sane man tell me that there is
any justice equal right in such system.
I think not. The above only four cases
out of several hundred throughout the
parish. I have fault to find with our
present Police Jury expenditure.
