Is prime necessity of existence
When a man has established himself

he may, perhaps, dispense with friend

POSSES HUNT FOR
A BLACK CULPRIT
Wife of Well to Do Planter
The Victim

Tampa, July 16.-Last night about
dark an unknown negro criminally
assaulted the wife of well to do
farmer near Haines City, about 50
miles from Tampa, and got away.
A posse was formed of local peo-
pie and Sheriff Logan, called from
Barlow. The hunt continued through
out the night and is still in progress,
several hundred men being scattered
over a wide range of country search
ing for the culprit who probably will
be lynched if caught This is the sec
ond crime of the kind in that locality
in the past few months.
Trains bound in each direction were
boarded at way stations and at
Haines City last night in the search
for the negro, who is described by his
victim as being short and stocky with
a white mustache and wearing a
shirt with the sleeves cut off just be-
low the shoulders.

Washington, d. c., July Ex-senator
Bacon and Congressman Bartlett are
preserving a discreet silence on the
subject of the Macon postcffice.
Friends of Jlfge Bartlett say he has
received assurance that his selection of
W. T. Morgan will find favor with
the postmaster general, but friends
of Senator Bacon say the president
will not hesitate to send in the name
of Gusts Nottingham They do nor
believe he will contenounce anything
else, bit the choice OF senator in his
home town, even though Mr.. Burlesoa
should recommend Mr. Morgan.
Endorsements of both candidates
are being received here, though Sena-
tor Bacon will not present those cf
Mr.. Nottingham unless requested to
do so. He bases his recommendation
solely on the ground of allowing sena-
tors the privilege he claims. The APP
pIication of Hillyer Rudsill, assistant
postmaster at Macon, was received by
Judge Bartlett today.

OBJECTION MADE
TO REQUIREMENT
OF EXPORTERS
AS REGARDS BALES COTTON
To Change Size Means Heavy
Expense

Americas warehousemen and ship
pers as we'll as the cotton ginners oil
the county are very much concerned at
the orders recently promulgated by the
steamship companies that handle ex-
port cotton relative to uniformity in
the size of cotton bales, as it will cost
the South an enormous sum, if condi-
tions are complied with exactly. The
carrying out of this requirement OF
the steamship companies will neces-
state radical changes in the presses
now used upon plantations and public
ginneries, and this can be done only
at considerable cost
The uniform cotton bale, as no
marketed, is fifty-four inches in length
with thickness of 27 inches-a differ
ence of three inches only-but differ
ence which it will cost vast sum to
make. For each bale offered for ship
ment, which does not conform to the
new requirement, the steamship CON-
pany will make an extra charge of ona
dollar for handling it.
An Americus warehouseman sail
yesterday that there were very few
presses in Sumter county of the new
54x27 inch bale dimension-certainiy
less than dozen. To change the si.e
of the press boxes, in order to make
the cotton bales conform to the new
requirement, would result in much
trouble and expense. A prominent
Georgia exporter committed suicide
two days ago after worrying over the
necessity of having to change the sire
of his cotton bales to conform to tas
new requirement. ~
The adoption of uniform bale, il
is said, is to facilitate the work OF
packing cotton aboard ship. Where
bales are irregular in size there Is
difficulty in packing it satisfactorily
and much space is lost, particularly
where bales are of irregular length.
The width does not matter SO much
as does the length of the bale. Thu
action of the steamship lines has cre-
ated quite a stir in cotton shipping
circles, and many protests will doub;-
less result.

light INFANTRY
LEAVES TONIGHT
FOR ENCAMPMENT
COMPANY GOES 50 Strong
Ten Days Of Pleasure Awaits
Them There

The Americus Light Infantry, fifty
five strong and under command of Cap
tain James Fort, will leave this even
ing at 1880 o'clock over the Central
railway for st. Simon's Island, where
the Second Georgia regiment is at an
nual encampment during the next ten
days. The A L. l. will reach the is
land tomorrow morning.
The soldier boys are in high spirits
in anticipation of the annual outing.
1t will be the second visit of the
Americus command to st. Simons and
the troops know of the pleasures that
await them there.
The company is in fine form for the
trip and will be, numerically, one Of
the largest at camps, as 55 men is
we'll above the average Camp equip
age, tents and all paraphernalia is
packed and in readiness, and the white
city of tents will quickly rise up upon
arrival of the soldier boys there to-
morrow.
Captain Fort, Lieut.. J. E. B. McLen-
don and Lieut. B. C. Hogue are the
commissioned officers in command of
the Americus Light Infantry.
The Columbus Guards will arrive in
Americus tonight at 1880 o'clock over
the Central and will join the Light In
fantry. At Albany these commands
will be Joined by the Albany Guards,
all three companies being part Of
the Second regiment. Other conf
mands will reach the island this morn
ing as we'll.
There is some arduous work in con-
nection with these annual encamp-
ments, but the attendant pleasures,
more particularly on the coast more
than compensate therefor.

BOTH PLAYERS
GIVEN FINES
AT The TRIAL
SPECIAL SESSION OF COURT
Tried Baseball Players Here
Yesterday Evening

Both players who participated in the
difficulty near the close of the game
yesterday afternoon at the close of the

at a special session of the recorder
court held last evening at the city
hall for that purpose. Manchester
was given a fine of S. and Jordan one
of So for participation in the diff
Guilty.
At the special session of the re-
corder's court, which was held so that
the difficulty might be adjusted before
the teams left for Waycross last night,
i came out that Manchester used abus-
i've languege-very insulting language,
in fact-before Jordan struck him Oh
the head The nature of this language
was held as being in large degree a
sufficient cause for the action of the
Waycross player, consequently Man
chester was given the heavier fine.
Jordan, when he was taken from the
grounds yesterday afternoon, was not
handcuffed, nor was he locked up, as
some wild rumors had it. He was
simply taken to the police barracks
and detained until the matter was set
tied at the recorders court last night
AS this is the first instance of this
kind that has happened here this sea-
son, it is sincerely hoped by the fars
that no other affairs of this kind will
happen

MIDNIGHT SHOOTING WAS
CAUSE OF UNEASlNESS
No Explanation as 10 The
Perpetrators

The discharge of firearms in the
southern portion of the city just after
midnight yesterday morning aroused
many residents in that locality, and
created general uneasiness, so mucn
so that three policemen went to the
scene, but failed to arrest
or even identify, the parties engaged
in the shooting. Captain James Fort,
of the Light Infantry, believed that
the firing was being done with rifles
belonging to his company, and also
went to investigate the shooting. AS
Captain Fort and the policemen ap-
peared in the distance, the midnight
disturbers ran away.
In the meantime the southbound
Seminole Limited" the tourist train to
Florida, had stopped at the scene Of
firing, the engineer seeing the bonfire
near the track and hearing, no doubt,
the shooting. AS there was no danger
to the track, however, the train soon
proceeded.
Captain Fort picked up several ex-
ploded cannon crackers, and it is pos
sible that the boys creating the dis
turbance were only firing crackers, al.
though the sound was more like the
ring of rifles. If rifles were used
they were carried away by the boys
when they ran at the approach of the
police.
Captain Fort and Lieut.. MceLndon
afterwards made thorough inspection
of the Light Infantry armory and
found every rife in it's locker, nor was
any ammunition missing. The boys
might have had ether guns, although
Capt. Fort said that he found no empty
shells near the spot.
The scene of disturbance was at the
crossing of the Central and Seaboard
tracks, about mile from the city hall
The shooting created considerable an
noyance. In an investigation made
yesterday morning Chief Johnson re-
ported that car in the Seaboari
freight yards had been entered and a
quantity of firecrackers carried awav.
This discovery may prove the solution
of the mystery One arrest in con-
nection with the car robbery has been
made already.

MEXICAN SITUATION
viewed With ALARM
Discussed in TWO-lour Con-
ference at White House

Washington, D. c., July 16.-Admin-
istration officials admitted last night
that the situation in Mexico and diplo-
matte inquiries over Europe as to what
the attitude of this country would be
toward its neighbor on the south were
engaging attention.
Secretary Bryan had two-hour con-
ference with President Wilson today
and while the Japanese question and
appointments consumed
much of their time, the foremost SUBJ
ject before them was the Mexican
problem. Early in the day it had been
discussed at legnth at the cabinet
meeting.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say what the
policy of the United States govern
ment would be toward any European
but intimated that a
might be expected IL
a shirt time. 1t is known here that the
officials have been con-
tinuously opposed to. recognition OF
the Huerta government until elections
were held, and it has been expected
that any future declaration to the for
eign powers would be along the lines
of the Latin American statement made
by President Wilson soon after he
took office. In this he proclaimed
that his administration would seek to
make a basis for intercourse with La
countries on the principle
of governments set up on orderly pro-
cesses, and mot upon arbitrary or fr-
regular force"

United States senate as member
from Georgia in the first election held
under the recently ratified seventeenth
amendment to the United States con-
stitution, providing that the voters OF
the several states shall cast direct bal
lots in senatorial elections. Senator
Bacon was unopposed.
Reports from various parts of the
state indicate that the vote was very
light. Many of the country precincts,
il was reported, did not open a polling
place, since it was a foregone concts-
ion that Senator Bacon would be re-
elected. 1t will be several days before
the total vote cast will be known.

Washington, D. c., July 16.-Ambas@
sador Henry Lane Wilson, at Mexico
City, has been summoned to Wasnlns-

President Wilson on the Mexican sit
uation.
This action is taken to forecast some
imDortant announcement on the ad-
ministration's attitude toward the
Huerta government.
Thfe announcement was made by
Secret ary Bryan this morning after Il
conference at the white house with
the president.
As soon as he reached the depart.
ment of state, the secretary made this
statement:
Ambassador Wilson has been asked
TO come to Washington to confer with
the president personally on the situa-
ton in Mexico. The American em-
bassy will be left in charge of the first
secretary, Mr.. O'Shaughnessy."
A Difficult Trip.
In view of the almost total inter
ruption of railway traffic between the
Mexican capital and the United States
although that matter will be left to
his discretion, it is assumed that the
ambassador will be obliged to make
his trip by water from Vera Cruz, il
which case he can scarcely be expect

WEATHER HERE
YESTERDAY WAS
INTENSELY HOT
MERCURY REGISTERED lO4
Within One Degree of the
Hottest Day Of Year

Yesterdays weather went out for
a record mark and came very near
getting there. According to the fig
ures of the local weather station, the
thermometer registered 104 degrees
as a maximum temperature during the
day.
The hottest day of the year here
was when the mercury climbed up to
los degrees recently. 1t will be seen
that yesterdays maximum came with
in one degree of it. The heat here was
intense, as there was nothing to miti-
gate it. The sun shone practically all
day out of cloudless sky, while there
was but little wind to add it's COM
fort.
No help is promised by the weather
forecast, which indicates generally fair
weather for today. The protracted
drouth which has been felt here 50
long served to add to the heat and 10
make it all the more uncomfortabl
yesterday. The rainfall for the year is
below the normal by a big margin,
most of it having fallen within the Pc
riod of a few weeks in March and
April
