MEXICO'S ANARCHY.

The recurrence in Mexico Of more aggravated DIS
order is what intelligent observers foresaw and can De
predicted indefinitely.
Surprise is often expressed that the Mexican
people do not end anarchy prohibtive of prosperity
but no surprise felt by those who know the Mexican
people.
Uncle Sans southernmost neighbors may roughly
be divided into three classes There first the vast
body of agricultural laboters "peons They are
about as good foundation for democratic institutions as
nation of 1O-year old school boys would be.
Then there are the large land owners These men
are amiable brave lions, hosptabe to fault Some
power of domination made them masters and poured
the rpe fruit of Mexcos into their ndoent
laps But in comprehension of business and government
they are not so very superior to their "peons
They will put lot of money into the finest thresn'
ing machine Produced and then return to the
primitive method of readng grains under the feet OF
their colts.
They will take notion to 60 to Europe, place
mortgages on their plantations and forget to pay the
interest. While they gone the lands will be solo
at foreclosure for song. When their letter of credit
gives out they can't understand why they are beggars
Probably they become revolutiunists.
The third class is the small body of well educated
men, who are so far removed their fellow citizens
thought and purpose to have influence.

terday. "The purchase of foodstulf
is by no means confined to South Geor-

showing how much corn can be pro-
duced per acre, with proper fertiliza-
ton and cultivation, Mr. Hudson eX-
presses surprise that so much corn is
now being shipped into Georgia FROM
the West. 1T will be a great era
when all of our farmers raise their
supplies at home" he said.
The local oat crop, it is believed, will
turn out better than was expected sew
eral weeks ago when rust appeared Al

to this valuable crop. While the yell
will be below the average for Sumter

Thomasville, Ca, May THE at

in this city. The crowd was made uo
almost entirely of Thomasville people.
several cars coming from Monticello
and Cairo, and few from the Boston
and Albany branch.
The attendance records, as reported
here, for the six cities in the league
are as follows: Waycross, 2,726'
Brunswick, 2,515; Americus, 1880;
Townsville, 1,2S7; Valdosta, Ito:
Cordele, 1852. Against these records,
however, formal protest has been fill
I'd with the league directors, and until
II cir decision is announced, the win
ntr of the trophy will be unknown
The protest is directed against the
methods adopted by Brunswick AMI
Waycross to swell" the record, and
the claim is made that unfair methods
We're resorted to.
A special from Brunswick received
here today says that meeting of the
G.r,ctors of the league will probably
be ttlled 500 to decide the question of
which city wins the trophy, and many
fans here are of the opinion that Amer
i0s will land the prize
1t leaked out here tonight that both
brunswick and Waycross, the two lead
ing cities, packed" the gate receipts
in order to win the trophy. For in
stance, Brunswick's manager at Way
cross on opening day, took up 6S1
childrens' tickets, and the Waycross
manager later said he wanted to pay
for 1905 in order to swell the at
tendance.
Brunswick did practically the same
thing Thursday, it is said. Therefore
/; appears that Americus, with an ac-
tual attendance of 1880 people, has
captured the trophy. The action of
Waycross and Brunswick is being
trmly criticised here.

Laying all other business aside,
the directors of the Americus Board
of Trade are requested to attend d

all along the line, and which is inter
preted as meaning a general move
ment of this kind among the roads ev-
orywhere. MIR. Gambler said that un
doubtedly the operating expenses OF
railroads had increased, and that fig
ures of the commission show a steady
increase in every item of cost, ex-
cept coal, which has remained stable
in cost.
"If the railroads want an increa5e
in freight rates." continued Mr.. Caa,
dler, 'if it be true as they claim,
that present rates do not permit prom

should base their demands squarely
upon the plank of the increased ex-

complaint is made The commission
can regulate inequalities and remedy

do, and all they ever have attempted.
OF course, in Georgia, the situation is
somewhat different. Here railroads
can not increase rates without our
permission. And if they lower a rate
that rate at once becomes the COM
missions rate, and it cannot be
changed without proper hearing. But
