ANERICUS BANKER GETS 100000
FOR The PURCHASE OF COTTON
This Amount viii Take Very Readily the Amount
Arranged For WIN Be Largely
A. W. Smith, President Georgia. Readily Gets
Money Ia New Account

One hundred thousand dollars has
been placed in New York to the credit
of Mr.. A. w. Smith, president of the
Bank of South Western Georgia, to
be expended by his bank in an ad
vance upon cotton at the rate, nomi-
nally, of $35 per bale. The money is
already available; no red tape or Sc
curity to be arranged, and any GUS
toner of the Bank of South Western
Georgia can, upon request, get S35
advanced upon his cotton for a term
Of months.
Mr.. Smith has just returned -
Americus from bushes strip East,
and in New York City he explained the
situation here as regards the cotton
crop and inability to sell it, to the Off
cials of one of the banks there with
which he deals.
The proffer of financial assistance
came quickly, and details were at once
arranged whereby 100000 is to be
placed at once, wherewith to pay for
1000 bales Gotten.
Moreover, Mr.. Smith was advised
that, in addition to the first 100000
which will pay for approximately 5000
bales cotton here, that the New York
bank would, in all probability, pay
for 1000 bales more, or total of
5000 bales, on the same basis. The
first 100000 will be expended s
stated, and other money devoted to
the same end, as required. Thus,
5000 bales cotton is readily taken OFF
the market here.
Mr.. Smith, very naturally feels 9
pardonable pride in the success of his

THE ORDINANCE AGAINST FREE LUNCHES AND
MUsIC|N A BEER SALOON SHOULD NOT Be REPEALED

While N Cotton avenue one night last
week, we were attracted by the gay
music and the brilliant light in beer
saloon near the corner Of Lamar
street. The music, the light and the
screen made a good picture wei il
Illustrating the invitation Come into
my parlor, said the spider to the fly"
The following morning Mr.. Albert
Harris, one of the Aldermen, asked,
in a conversation with the writer,
why the police failed to enforce the
law making it unlawful for beer sa-
looms in Americus to serve fee
lunches and have music in their
places Of business He explained at
the time that the question of repeal
ing the ordinance was considered at
the last meeting of the council, and
that a majority of the Aldermen pres
ent appeared to be in favor of the re-
peal. 1t was not repealed, however,
but was referred to the Ordinance
committee. Mr.. Harris stated further
that he thought the law ought to be
enforced, as long as it is law.
The writer of this article then saw
the Mayor, and he said 1T was sorter
understood that a majority of the
council were in favor of repeating the
Ordinance, and that the Mayor pro
TEN. so understood the will of the
council, and that he, the mayor pro
tem., would not convict if cases were
made by the police, and that he, the
mayor, did not know what to do"
The writer told him that it was his
duty to enforce the law, and that there
was nothing TO do except to have cases
made for the violation of the Ordi-
nance. The Chief of Police was then
asked why he and his men failed t.
make cases for the open violation ot

Receiver SMITH HAS ASSUMED
CHARGE Of INSOLVENT BANK

Collection Indebtedness VIII Rapidly Possible
Going to Criminal

banks Indebtedness, or the prospect
Of getting anything out of it.
The bank went to the wall with ii
crash seven months ago-February
3Id. Since that time the stockholders
have paid an assessment of 100 per
cent. upon their absolutely worthless
stock. Probably other collections have
also been made, although nothing to
that end is known to stockholders or
depositors.
Receiver Smith stated yesterday tha.
he hoped to be able to pay depositors
their first dividend shortly-probably
within two weeks. Just what per cent
CT their holdings this will be is not
known, but scarcely more than ten
per cent.
1t will be the policy of Receiver
Smith to pay the depositors in divi-
dends such funds collected, and as
rapidly as the money accumulates.
Mr.. Smith, as receiver, has nothing
to do with the criminal proceedings
which may be started as soon as the
session of United States court cor
venes three or four weeks hence. The
| recently appointed District Attorney,
Hon. Erie Donaldson, will have charge
of this most important case. Evidence
is being procured at this point and
witnesses summoned upon behalf Of
the government to give testimony when
the grand jury assemblies.
Mr.. Wesley Nj. Bennett, of the De-
partment of Justice at Washington
bureau of investigation, is here, and
will push criminal proceedings against
any who may be prosecuted in con-
nectiop with the affairs of the insol-
vent Americus National.

good. This committee will see that
the bales are up to the standard and
will turn the warehouse receipts over
to buyers after the transaction has
been completed.
Cotton is sure to be worth more
than $50 a bale after the war is over
and those who buy bale or more will
have a good investment. At the same
time it will furnish a market for at
least some OF the cotton grown in
Sumter county. If every man IN
Americus who has a little money saw.
ed by will buy one or more bales he
will make a good business deal and
at the same time help stimulate a
market for cotton.
Money paid the farmers of the
county for their cotton will be spent
in Americus. A bale of cotton sold
means $50 turned loose in our city. The
committee which will be appointed
will buy the cotton from the men who
really need the cash and not from
those who are able to keep the wolf
from their door with no trouble. A
limit to the number of bales each farm
er may market under this plan will be
set.
Tuesday mornings Times-Recorder
will contain a call for the meeting.
Let the people of Americas rally to
their standards and "Buy a Bale Of
Cotton"
One thing is certain about this meet
ing. Optimism will be the keynote.
The first calamity bowler who tries to
raise his wall will be thrown bodily
from the meeting. 1t will be a gather
ing of earnest citizens who cpose TO
help conditions all they can by Do
ING SOMETHING and not by predict
ing dire failure for the city.
If you are an optimist, be at the
meeting. If you belong to the army of
pessimists stay away. The meeting
will be no place for you.

JAPAN TO BUY 2,000,00G

According to a news story published
in the New York World, the japanese
government, through its banking agen-
cies, is reported to be in the marke,
for 100000 bales of cotton, aggregat-
ing in value about $1O0,OOO,O00, during
this fall and winter. She is willing TO
pay, it is said, IL cents or more.
Normally Japan buys about 100000
bales of American cotton annually and
the remaining 100000 bales from
other countries, principally Egypt, but
because of the war in Europe its nor

In support of the report that JapaA

Farmers Can Sell Bales of Cotton Di-
rect to Citizens Who viii Hold As

Americus is preparing to conduct a
Buy Bale of Cotton" campaign. AL
ready a number of citizens of this
hustling city have pledged their CO.
operation in the campaign and it bids
fair to be far reaching in its effect. A
meeting will be held Tuesday morning
to perfect plans for the campaign.
In nutshell the plan is for every
citizen to buy as many bales of cotton
as possible and to hold them as an in
yestment. A standard price of 10
cents will be adopted and the bales
will bring in the neighb orhood of $50
each to the farmers who market them.
The city council will lift the special
tax of $25 on cotton buyers and every
citizen Of the town can enter the lists
and buy Gotten.
The plan Of those who have started
the campaign is to have a committee
who viii have charge of arrangements
This committee will lock after the ac-
tual transactions and see that cotton
is bought where it will do the most

Mr.. A. ". Smith, who quite recent
ly, at the request Of the comptroller of
the currency, consented to serve as
permanent received for the stranded
Americus National bank, formerly cap
italized at 100000, and of which Leon
A. Lowrey, of Chicago, was president
since the banks establishments; w. T.
Lane, vice president; NJ. NJ. Low ey
cashier, and G. D. Wheatley, Jr., as
sistant cashier on yesterday took over
the affairs of the bank, and will pro-
ceed to wind them up.
Mr.. Smith thus relieves former Re-
ceiver T. c. Dunlap, an official of the
treasury department, and who is nov
busily engaged with similar stranded
and warped institutions elsewhere.
Receiver Smith will familiarize him
self with the banks affairs as rapidly
as it can be done, and to this end VIII
have as his assistant Mr.. Vardaman,
expert accountant who is familiar
Herewith. The o,d banking house =
that of the Americus National and
its offspring, +he state savings bank,
will be closed up shortly, thus affect
ing a saving of high rental. The office
Of Receiver Smith will be located in
the building of the Bank of South
Western Georgia.
While Receiver Smith has had nc
opportunity as yet to familiarize him
self with the general status of affairs
it is a fair assumption that he will not
be long in doing so. That he may in
form the depositors and creditors, tt
an extent at least, of general condi-
tions, is an end devoutly wished, as

had ordered him not to make cases,
for the reasons which we have men
toned.
All laws should be respected, and
enforced, especially by those who have
made solemn oath to enforce the same
1t is the want OF. proper respect for
law that leads finally to criminal law
lessness. 1t is very unwise for the
officers of the law to trifle with it's
enforcement
But, the purpose of this article is to
register a protest against the repeal
of the Ordinance mentioned, as well as
to urge it's enforcement.
1t is wrong to have beer saloons in
the city of Americus, or anywhere else,
and it is much more criminal to permit
these saloons to use attractive and
seductive temptations in the aid Of
their immoral and criminal traffic. We
hope every father and mother in Amer
icus will join US in this protest. We
believe that if the fathers and mothers
of the city will make it plain to the
Aldermen, that they are opposed to
the repeal of the Ordinance, that their
wishes will be respected, and that the
Ordinance will remain in force, and
be enforced. 1T MUST BE.
The council meets next Wednesday
night, and at least 500 fathers and
500 mothers should be there to pro-
test against the repeal of the Ordi-
nance in the name of the love they
: have for their children and humanity.
Be sure to be there. Don't forget the
date.
If you cannot go, or if you have not
sufficient moral courage to go, send
us your protest, and We will register
it for you
THE PROTEST MUST BE MADE.

lieve the financial stress of a large
number of his customers. Every dol
lar made available here now is to be
appreciated, and the fact that Presi-
dent Smith, without any trouble what
ever, and upon his own account, secur-
ed 100000 now and as much more
when this amount is exhausted, only
demonstrates what effort will accom-
plish.
Sumter county will produce $4,000
bales cotton this year. Of this guam

and taken off the market until next
spring. What other financier will take

AMERICUS MIGHT

COTTON TRAFFIC
LET EVERYBODY BUY BALE
This Patriotic Movement
Proving Popular

Have you bought your bale of cot
ton, ard thus aided in the patriotic
movement inaugurated throughout the
state to the end of relieving to an ex-
tent the distressed situation. Americus
like other Georgia CITIES, is going to
join in this laudable movement, and
every patriotic man and woman is 60
ing to do part by buying one or more
bales of cotton, and thereby putting
money in circulation.
The sale of every bale will help the
farmer just that much, and without in
curing any risk whatever to the pur-
chaser
A bale of cotton is as good as cur
rency Why not buy it, as you would
a government bond?
The Times-Recorder suggested this
movement a week ago. Since that time
several citizens have quietly invested
$50, $1OO or $3.50 in cotton and put
the bales away in the warehouse
There, the cotton is sure to increase
in value, and a few months hence can
be sod at a profit. Is not this a bet
ter plan than letting your money lie
idle in bank?
Suppose you did not make a profit
on your purchase, you at least did your
part towards relieving a distressed sit
uation.
One merchant told the Times-Re-
corder yesterday that both himself and
wife had bought four or five bales, and
would buy more cotton a little later
He considers the purchase absolutely
safe. In several Georgia cities indi-
viduals, clubs and societies are buy
ing cotton-some only one bale; 9th
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1914-09-06

ers a dozen bales, but all helping the
cause to the extent of their ability.
Why not call meeting and let's talk
over the proposition. Hundreds Of
people here have the price of a cotton
bale-$35 or $40-put aside for pin
money. Buy yourself cotton bale,
help the farmers, and indirectly help
yourself as we'll.

NEW YORK, Sept 5.-(Special)-
Conflicting news dispatches and vague
official statements leave the fortunes
of the immense armies struggling be-
fore Paris today a matter of conjec-
ture.
All accounts agree, however, that the
moment is approaching swiftly when
the French capital must have resort
to it's own defenses. Despite occas-
ional temporary successes of the allies
their line appears to be slowly Civ
ing ground before the German advance.
The German troops also appear to be
much nearer Paris than has been Off
cially indicated. They are said to be
within a few miles of Chantilly, %
miles north of the capital.
An official statement issued at Pariss
this afternoon says that the Germans
continue to leave Paris on their right
and to march in a southeasterly direc-
ton. The exact position of the Ger
man right wing is not revealed, but
so far as known it has not succeeded
in getting around the allies left, form
ed by British troops.
