There is not a member Of the board
OF directors Of the Pacife-lnterior
company, or OF the Public Utility
commission. or Of the city council
that has ever contemplated for one
moment the putting Of the funds
raised by the sale Of the bond issue
into stocks or bonds Of any company
or for the aid Of stock company
corporation or association in contra
vention to the state constitution. The
law has been fully considered and is
perfectly understood by all Of these
people.
When the Pacific-lnterior company
was incorporated the question OF
bonding the city for the building OF
a railroad had not been considered.
The Paclfic-Interior company was or
ganized solely as a holding company,
and as such its work was completed
when ii transferred It's holdings, the
Draper-Gunn interests, to the city.
Since that time the city OF Grants
Pass, through its common council
and the properly constituted Public
Utility commission, has had full
cnarge OF the railway building, and
the road when built will belong to
the city and not to any company or
corporation.
No question Of the legality OF the
bond issue has been raised by the
bond buying houses, and the attor-
neys agree that the issue is Legal.
The reason the council has not yet
sold the bonds is that a better offer
is expected, though the last bid OF
SO 1-2 for five per cent bond is a
reasonable one.
The passage of the public utilities
bill through the legislature is not
needed to legalize any action, but is
intended to remove some of the red
tape at present involved The bonds
are legal and can be sold without it.
If unconstitutional no act of the leg
islature could make the issue con-
stitutional.
These observations, which are not
needed for the enlightenment of
those who have followed the develop
ment of the local railroad situation
are called forth through the publica-
tion in a local paper of an editorial
statement regarding the constitution
ality OF the bond issue, a statement
evidently based upon an inexcusable
lack Of information of the situation

menace as well is the patch of weeds
on Forsyth street, directly opposite

tained rank growth and may prove u
breeding place for disease. The city

AMERICUS GETS
RECORD CARGO
COTTON BALES
PILED ON TWO.nORSE Wagon
Another Test Of Sumter'S
Good Roads

Added tribute was paid the good
roads system of Sumter, the Good
Roads County of the South" yesterday,
when a wagon loaded with cotton bales
from the farm of Mr.. j. w. Howard,
four miles south of Americus on the
Lee street road, drew up at the L. G.
Council warehouse. 1t was only two
horse wagon, but it attracted attention
all right.
Stacked upon the wagon were ten
heavy bales cotton, the actual combin-
ed weight being 1878 pounds. Two
stout mules had pulled the ten bales
of cotton to Americus, a distance of
four miles, with greatest ease.
The spectacle was somewhat of an
unusual one, although Sumter farm
wagons, drawn by two mules, fire.
quently bring loads of six to eight
bales of cotton to Americas without
difficulty.
Only in one instance has the load
brought yesterday been exceeded, and
that by one bale only, a wagon from
the Eldridge farm, three years ago
having brought eleven bales of cot
ton to Americus. That load was drawn
by two mules, the same distance oves
the same road that the Howard wagon
came yesterday.
Before the day of good roads III
Sumter county, period only five years
ago, two bales of cotton was the usual
load hauled by two mules over thii
same road, then a succession of tortu-
Gus sandbeds, hills and hollows, but
now a perfectly smooth boulevard thir-
teen miles in length, and enxtending
from Americus to Lee county.
Can any better argument for good
roads be advanced than was that cotton
load yesterday Americus has SOC
miles of good roafs, half of that mile
age being graded boulevards, but it is
not enough, and the good work u
road building will be continued here.

COTTON SCARS
BUSINESS HERE EXCELLENT
As Result Of Good Prices
for Staple

Americus merchants felicitated yes
terday as the cotton market made
new high records for the season, add
ing more value to the already high
priced bale. The effect of 13 IL cents
cotton yesterday was plainly visible
IN all lines of trade and business was
at the flood tide. Local warehouses
received $40 bales wagon cotton yes
terday practically all of which was
sold, such was the demand for the sta
pie. At that top-notch price cotton
bale was worth about $40 in round
figures, and $40 of them, had all been
nigh grade, would mean an addition OF
$4,000 to the circulating medium for
one day alone, Americus has received
d total of II, ,180 bales to date, and the
sale of this cotton has made the fall
business thus far far the best ever in
September.

ROW IS ON over
COTTON FUTURES

Washington, D. c., Sept. 26.-The
controversy over the cotton futures
tax in the tariff bill was re-opened
in the tariff conference today when
the senate conferees proposed to re-

the entire provision from the tariff
bill.
House conferees refused to agree
to this action on the ground that the
house should have the opportunity to
vote upon whether the entire pro-
vision should be dropped, or COM
promise provision accepted.
At 1 o'clock members of the con-
ference committee said they saw no
immediate prospect of settlement of
the matter.

Carolina, and Page, of North Carolina,
were called into the morning confer
ence on cotton futures. When a re-
cess was taken at l o'clock the senate
members remained in conference and
called in Senator Clarke, of Arkansas,

Regarding the Extension OF

Judge z. A. Ilttle5ohu wiH this
morning here the complaint of petit
TONERS to make permanent the rs-
straining order granted recently t.s
prevent the extension of tracks or
the Central railway along Hampton
street south to Lamar street, near the
baseball park, permission to that end
having recently been conferred upon
the railway company by city COUNCIL.
Immediately upon the granting OF
such authority by council, under spec
ial act of the legislature. property
owners on Hampton street secured q
temporary restraining order to pre-
vent the railway company from ex-
tending it's tracks, as desired
Judge Littlejohn will hear the case
upon its merits today and will de-
, termine the rights of the railway com
pany in the premises, as conferred by
council.
Already the Central railway has
sidetracks laid across Hampton street
to the canning factory and the Har-
rold Bros wood yard, and further ex
tension of the tracks along Hamptoa
to- Lamar street would enhance very
greatly many acres of land which ar
present is of little use, rendering il
desirable for buildings or factory
sites.
Should the tracks be extended, as
desired by the railway company, it Is
understood that the Seaboard railway
will also extend its tracks to the same
point, thus greatly increasing the
possibility for union passenger depnt
there.

seeing a substantial increase in the

crate heartily with local business in
terests to that end
Better facilities for handling this

parcels post at a cost of Is cents
Americus merchants, it has been sug
gested, could largely increase the,:
business through the parcels post in
the free delivery of packages to GUS
toners in the country, just as they
would cheerfully deliver purchases tC
patrons here in town. The cost would
be trivial in comparison with the in
creased volume of business.
Milledgeville is a much smaller city
than Americus, but comparison OF
figures shows that it does a very much
larger parcels post business, ranking
with Macon, Augusta and Columbus in
that respect. The Milledgeville mer-
chants appreciate the value of the par
cells post as trade winner.
Here in Americus the local parcels
post business is growing to the extent
as to necessitate city delivery wagon,
and Postmaster Davenport will shortly
add that very great convenience. The
packages, it is said, are too large ana
too numerous to be handled by the BIZ
cycle carriers, along with the letters
and smaller packages.
With nine rural delivery routes ii

in buying in Americus by mail order,

Last year the land was planted Ii
peas. The first of this season it grew
a crop of corn. The corn was gather
ed in August, and all the weeds cut
out and burned. We then spread Il
wagon loads of stable manure broad
cast over the two acres. Then w,
plowed the land with a three-horse
plow weighted down so that it would
plow as deeply as possible. And right
here let me say deep plowing is one
of the secrets of successful farming.

letting it stand idle for two days W.

rowed it, After five days 1000 pounds

was narrowed in and the land was
rolled with clod crusher Three days
later we put 1000 pounds of good

was well narrowed.
