AND AMERICUs Has POTATOES.
First of the Season Bring Two Dollars
Bushel.

Americus' opulent citizens are now
luxuriating upon the first new sweet
potatoes at two dollars per bushel,
and while only the plumbers and coal
barons can indulge in the tubers at
this price the common herd rejoices
with them that the crop is abundant
and the country safe. Sumter is 60
ing to harvest an enormous potato
crop shortly. The seasons have been
favorable, and a yield of 200 to 300
bushels per acre will be about the
average here. Very soon the price
will drop to 40 cents per bushel, and
with possums on the side this dish
will be one fit for king.

SUDDEN DEATH OF THE AMEER
MAY CAUSE COMPLICATIONS

London. Oct. IA news agency pub

Simla, dated this evening:
Habib Oullah Khan, eldest son Of
the Ameer OF Afghanistan. has report
ed to the British agent at Cabul that
the Ameer died last Thursday. after
Il brief Illness
a dispatch TO the Associated Press
from Simla says the Ameer was taken
seriously i'll September 2sth. Habib
Oullah Khan, October 2nd. asked in
a durbar that public prayers Ike offered
for the Ameer. In the morning Of Oc-
tobcr Bird Habib Khan announced that
his father had expired at 3 o'clock
that morning. Nothing Is known of
the state of affairs at CabuI.
No confirmation has been received at
the foreign Office of the report of the
death of the Amecr but It's truth is
not doubted. In view of the existing
critical situation in South Africa. the
news sent something like Il shock
through the United Kingdom. Great
confidence, however, is expressed on
all sides of the ability of the Indian
viccroy to deal with the situation.
Before Lord CurZOn attained his

As the steamer Sheffield was leaving

the unusual phenomenon lin these latl-

steamer was few miles OF West
Capple, and from heavy thunder
cloud lying due west Of this point. and
computed to be about ten miles dis
tant, a dense black column was
formed. which appeared to fall by a
sinuous course into the sea- At this
distance the surface of the sea-where
the waterspout touched its surface
wr- at once surrounded by a smoke
like obscurity. Hundreds OF tons of
water must have dropped heavily into
the sea. The black line OF communi-
cation between the cloud and the sea
fell precipitatey at first, then for
some distance appeared to encounter
a fresh current OF air and was borne
along laterally. after which it dropped
into the sea. The phenomenon contin-
ued dashing up the surface OF the sea
for about four minutes.
