A PISTOL IS PULLED
IN GAME OF SKIN
A Spirited Game at Plains
, Causes.
ARREST OF A DOZEN sklNNERs
Cupid Tcndee Has Gnu Propeller
Shot Away-Sunch ID Brought to
AmerIcus and JaiIsd-LivsIy Shoot.
fest Over a Game of Cards.

AS the result of a spirited skin game
played out near Plains, and with the
usual pistOlOric trimmings, dozen
black SINNERS will explain to the
grand jury how it was played and also
how Cupid Tondee, one of the SINNERS,
was winged by bullet.
For the entire skinetical gang has
been rounded up and are either in
Jail or out upon bond.
The game was a hot one, and the
chief skinner lost little time in scooping
all the stray nickels and likewise the
handy pistol of one of his pals, which
had been put up as a stake.
And it was the loss of the pocket
hardware that caused the riot.
For no self-respecting negro pistol
lugger is going to surrender his gun
now, at the height of the season of
mullet suppers and similar social func-
tons in blackdom, and this one at
once set about in practical was to get
his lost gun.
And the direct manner way to shoot
the other fellow.
Cupid Tondee held the treasured
death promoter, but the coon had a
shotgun at home and he went for it.
This was trained upon the lucky Cupid,
and the first leaden salute carried away
the larger portion of his left propeller
blade.
The artillery practice scattered the
dirty dozen, but Sheriff Bell has since
cooped them all and the grand jury
will do the nexi skinning.

AMELIA BINGHAM a CELEBRITY
"The Lilac Room" the Best Of All Her
Successes.

Miss Amelia Bingham in THE Lilac
Room" the greatest success of her
career, will be seen at the opera house
next Tuesday evening, 18th. She is
surrounded by company ofexcellence
and her own part is the strongest in
which she ever appeared, while her
play is the browning effort of all the
productions she has made since she
became Americas only Actress Man
ager, five seasons ago. ''The Lilac
Room" is a modern comedy society
drama and its scenes are laid in places
which permit gorgeous scenery and
accessories. A fortune would not re-
produce the bric-a- brac, paintings,
statuary, ETC., used by Miss Bingham
in this production, while her gowns
justify the reputation she has had for
years of being Americas most beauti-
fully and extensively gowned ac-
tress.

BABIES GOING TO THE BAZAAR
Great Feature OF the Occasion Will
Be Baby Show.

A bazaar without baby show would
be like the sideshow tent of the circus
with the big performance omitted, and
the ladies arranging the hospital bazaar,
opening here on Tuesday, Goth, will
make no such mistake. For Americas
has the babies, thousands of them, and
the prettiest samples of these infantile
prodigies will form the exhibit arrang-
ed for Wednesday afternoon, 2Ist. The
entries include both girl babies and
future presidents under two years of
age, and three handsome prizes will be
awarded after a committee has passed
upon the merits of this bower of rose
buds.

WAITING UPON cINNERs REPORT
Another Slump i'm Values is Elk.
pected Today,

The fear that Hearst might have been
elected put down the price of cotton
still further yesterday. the loss being
20 or % points for the day. This de-
cline sent values in Americas to about
IL cents for the best, and this price
may be whacked when the monthly
ginners report comes out at noon today.
Whatever the figures as to the amount
of cotton ginned to Nov. l may be. the
trade will generally give them a bear.
ish Specification. The idea of big
crop is becoming more widespread and
it will require something more tangible
than argument to turn the tide, if in
deed the sequel should prove that it
should be turned. There is still talk
of a reaction being due after such a
long slide from the recent height, but
the continued heavy receipts at ports
have almost drowned out the reaction
