have lost none of their romantic flavor
but the intensity of situations and
dramatic episodes have been materially
heightened.

YELLOW BUGS RAIDING CROPS.
Already Potato Vines Are Being De.
Voured Here.


When last summer, along IN June a
yellow bug appeared upon the Irish
potato vines here, devouring every
yestige of yerdure, efforts were made
to exterminate it, but with poor sue
cess, This year the bugs are here al
ready, and are chewing up the young
potato vines just out of the ground.
Capt, John A. Cobb reports the pres
ence of these bugs in his potato field
in large numbers. 1t is feared that this
bug will destroy the entire crop of po-
tatoes here, or else do incalc MIA ole

Mr.. cARcILL NOT REINsTATED
AS Delivery Clerk at the Postoffice
Here

Some time ago Delivery Clerk Thorn
as Oargill at the postoffice here was re-
lleyed of that position by Postmaster
Frank Mitchell and Clerk EImore put
in the place, it being asserted at the
time that the services of Clerk Cargill
were not who'll satisfactory. The
latter took the matter up with the
postoffiee department in an effort to re-
tain the position, and not long since
an inspector was sent here to investi-
gate the case in full. Tt was reported
here yesterday that the department
would not interfere in the matter,
from which it may be inferred that
Clerk Cargill will not be reinstated as
delivery clerk.

EFFORTS TO CONTROL COTTON

Bulls and Bears Are Working to l hat
End Now.
There were no sales of cotton in the
Americus market yesterday, probably
due to the fact that there Is little here
to offer and the further fact that the
''bull and bear" fight now going on
among the bosses absorbs all atten-
ton. Good cotton will readily bring
8 5 cents here still, though there is
little of the good left. Just a few
daring ones here got in the game to
the extent of few hundred on con-
tracts, and one of these is said to be
several thousand dollars ahead already,

Victory for senor Jose.

 He visited that corner for the purpose of twisting that bright little knob over the face of the round disc, after the fashion he had observed EI Capitan twist it. Day after day he arrived first in the ofiice and day after day he twisted that knob But 1t was no use The heavy iron door would not swing back for him as 1t swung back for El Capitan. Jose was puzzled. He couldn't account for the partiality shown by the iron door for Ei Capitan. He would watch closer the op- eration and study the details. And he did. The day after. too. he twisted the bright knob again and to his intense joy the heavy iron doors swung back at his pull and there lay the contents of the safe. exposed. all ready for the transfer of which Jose had dreamed for weeks.
 It took him but a minute to clean out the safe. He got about S950 dinero Amer icano. Then he xamoosed.
 El Capitan Butt arrived at the Land Ohice in the course of time. The absence of Jose and the attitude of the safe doors
 struck him at the same instant, and he knew the whole story even before the excited clerks told him. It is believed he swcre some. He did hasten to the Secret Service Bureau and related the story of loses flight with the Land Ofiice funds. = NCtSNeNV was pdS upUl tTe LTAll ana Jose was tracked to Hong Kong, in China, across the bay. There Jose was pinched and there he confessed to the crime of robbing El Capitan Butt. In explaining his act he merely observed that he need ed the money. He was brought back to Manila, tried, convicted and sentenced to one year in Bilibedad. And herein ar- pears for the first time the bicycle, the nickel watch. the diminutive typewriter, and the wallet. Jose had spent some of the funds for these articles and he had them either on his person or in his lug gage when he was pinched. They were turned over to Captain Butt by order of the court, since he had made good from his own pocket the Land once loss by Jose's theft. Tn addition to these inter- esting souvenirs, Captain Butt got back $470 from Jose, but the balance of the stolen funds he had to make good to the Government
 That is why the sequel to the narrative rests in Congress. Fl Capitan wants to be reimbursed in the sum of $4S0, which sum he paid to make good Jose's theft. He may get the money, and then again.
 But why anticipate the action of Con- gress?
