THE COMPRESS COMBINE.
A Wall Goes up from Americas Because
of Its Arbitrary Action.

AMERICUS, GA, Oct. 16.-Cotton
shipments from Americas are now sub
iect to great delay on recount of the
congestion of cotton from other towns
at the local compress. The compress
combine having closed Dawson's press
is forcing large shipments of cotton
from adjacent territory here, and the
claim is made that this cotton is given
preference over Americas cotton.
This, together with the refusal of the
railroads to issue bills of lading for
shipments until the cotton is compress
ed and actually loaded aboard cars,
has caused the greatest discomfort
among warehousemen, shippers anG
bankers, all of whom are directly af-
fected by this arbitrary arrangement.
At a meeting of the Americas bank
ers, cotton buyers and warehOusemen
this afternoon a vigorous protest was
made TO the authorities of the Central
and Seaboard railways and a general
conference will be held here this week
to the end of affording relief. The
present conditions are calculated to
greatly endanger Americas mercan-
tile interests, as buyers refuse to take
cotton unless the railroads transport
it to Savannah in reasonable time.

chain with handouts stretched from
pirate to pirate, and stopped them IN
their mad rush.
1t was certainly a comical sight to
see these murderous men stand there
and look with open mouths at the
chains and heavy balls, and then at
the people whom they knew had caus-
ed all the trouble.
Before the strange visitors had stop
ped laughing, they heard the voice of
an officer calling on the chief to come
and surrender. But Willie didn't give
him a chance to do so, for. with a
touch of the button, he sent the chain
ed gang whizzing through the air, and
in a. second they were hanging by the
head around the edge of the fighting
turret of the American battleship.
For a minute the sailors were too
surprised to do anything except stare
at the strange sight and then they
broke into cheers While the battleship 5
band struck UP "The Star-Spangled
Banner" The chained pirates squirmed
and struggled just as the thieves had
done a short time before, but it did no
good except to please the American
marines, who howled with delight.

yer, although she is absent a great
deal, both at the ranch and in Europe.
This great tract of land was orig
inally transferred to Mr.. Scott by the
state of Texas, in return for funds adj
vanced for the state capitol building.
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott lived there for
many years, Mrs. SCOTS brother,
Charles Whitman. being connected
with the place After time Mr.. Scott
died. Mrs Scott put her brother in
charge and he instituted a new policy
of management which vastly increased
the value of the ranch. Mrs. Scott be-
came intensely interested in theosophy
and was q devoted follower of Annie
Besant. She desired to devote her en-
tire time to the new cult and to be
freed from all other care and respon-
sibility. Therefore she made satisfac-
tory business arrangements with her
brother, and he became owner of the
ranch. At his death in Denver a year
or two ago, his wife became owner of
one of the largest ranches in the world
and the very largest owned by a wo-
man.
Mrs. Whitman understands its man
agement thoroughly. When down there
she rides over it from day to day on
horseback, and keeps herself thorough
ly Informed as to its needs. She knows
both ends of the business; how to raise
cattle and how to sell them profitably.
She is a splendid office woman and
comprehends every detail in the man
agement of her vast property interests.
AS she was earning her own living
when she married Mr.. Whitman, this
may account for her excellent business
abilities. She is we'll educated, ex-
tremely interested in clubs and all pro-
gressive movements among women,
and very charitable.
Although dressing elegantly and NOV
ing in the best social circles, Mrs.
Whitman does not care particularly for
society. In Denver she has done a
great deal for the Y w. c. A., and
has been prominent in the Woman's
Club. Mrs Lucien Scott, meanwhile,
who for so many years occupied the
position of mistress of the ranch, is
now at the head of the Italian branch
of the Philosophical Society. She lives
at Florence and devotes her time to
teaching and lecturing, with entire
charge of the theosophical work in
Italy Such are the odd changes
which take place in the lives of Amer
lean women.
