SAVED MANY PERSONS
AMERICAN MOTOR CARS DID
GOOD SERVICE IN MEXICO.
Especially Useful In Carrying Non
combatants to Places Of Safety
During Revolution.

American motor carr played a con-
spicuous part during the recent revolu-
ton In Mexico in carrying American
men and women and other non-com-
batants to places of safety. A repre-
sentative Of q prominent company at
the Mexican capital, has just reported
his experiences to the Cleveland head
quarters. E
Though scores Of cars owned by PR
vate persons were turned v to the
Red Cross service and the American
embassy during the trouble. most OF
the manufacturer representatives
were a little shy about running the
chance Of having their demonstrators
shot up without authorization from the
factory. and 81 1t happened that his
company was the only maker to put
its own cars in the service.
Two car employed there asademon-
strators were draped In American
and Red Cross flags and carried hun
dreds Of people to places of security.
Though many cars engaged in the
same service were shot at, both OF
these escaped unframed.
Most of the younger and more &C
tive Americans were organized into
an armed embassy guard and station
ed around the American embassy
night and day. The representative
was made a captain in this guard and
he was in command the night after
Madero had been deposed and Felix
Diaz and Huerta met at the embassy
to arrange terms Of peace and sign
the protocol. In fact the cars carrying
the American flag took the two gen.
erals from the national palace and ar
senal respectively to the embassy.
The party of rebels which liberated
Gen. Bernardo Reyes and Felix D1az
from Belem prison made the trip In a
powerful auto. This car, loaded with
ammunition and guns a n h en-
iladed streets during the battle next
day in front Of the National palace and
was badly damaged by bullets.
Gen. Gregory Ruiz Of the Mexican
army, who was killed In an attack on
the arsenal two or three days after the
fighting began, had ordered q car
which was about to be shipped from
the factroy when he was killed.

CHEAPEST PLACE TO RAISE BEEF CATTLE.

On Monday on the Memphis stock market at
one of the bi-weekly cattle sales being held
regularly in that city 3,188 cattle were sold.
Most of these cattle were bought by parties
from the West and North including persons
from Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Illinois, Ne
braska and other states.
One of the largest buyers was from Nebras-
ka who purchased 578 cattle. Only one packing
concern was represented in the buyers, this firm
being from Little Rock, Ark, who bought 238
head.
Among the buyers were representatives OF
the Miller Bros. who have ranches in Oklahoma.
This firm is engaged principally in feeding cat
tie. Recently they purchased $4,000 head of
Florida cattle and shipped them to their west
ern ranches. They have found the business
very profitable and are rated among the wealth
lest of western cattle firms.
In speaking of the cattle raising one of the
Millers said that the people of Tennessee and
northern Mississippi are neglecting one of the
best sections for raising cattle in the United
States. Mr.. Miller said. further:
1.-THE territory surrounding Memphis would
provide one of the greatest cattle raising Sec
tons of the country if the people would take
advantage of the natural opportunities offered"
Beef could be raised in the Memphis terri
tory for one cent a pound. which is cheaper
than it is produced in any other section of the
country. There are large tracts of land in West
Tennessee and North Mississippi where pastur-
age for cattle can be had for Is cents a month.
Cattle fed on the grass this section produces
would gain one pound a day with proper treat
ment."
Although as stated by Mr.. Miller, beef can
be raised here cheaper than it can be raised
anywhere else in the United States, yet. there
are millions of pounds shipped into the Southern
states every month and sold at exhorbitant
prices. Notwithstanding this fact there are
some who contend that it is pr ofitable for the
farmers of the South to sell their cattle at pre-
sent prices. Just how they can arrive at such
a conclusion we are unable to conjecture. The
Southern farmer is able to take care of himself
as a cotton raiser, but he is wofully deficient as
a producer of feed stuff. Rather than provide
pasturage and forage upon which to winter his
cattle, our farmers in the Fall sell down to just
enough milk cows to run the farm and buy their
beef, if they have any. from the markets that
get it from a distance.
In exceptional cases Mississippi raised and
f~attened stock have brought top prices in the
markets of St. Louis and Chicago. These ex-
amples can be cited to show what we can do
down here, but the great trouble lies in the fact
that not one farmer in ten raises enough beef
to supply his home. Cattle are permitted to
run down in flesh to the point that they are
sold as Gamers, shipped to the packing houses,
canned and returned to US to eat.
There can be no excuse offered for this
condition of affairs except our own Indifference
which is costing the South millions of dollars
yearly.

FEDERAL AID TO cooD ROADS

/ Under the federal law which authorizes the
government to aid in the construction Of public
highways in the various states, Congressman
Ben HUMPHREYS of the Third District has re-
Gently secured $50, 900 which the government
appropriated in connection with, q hundred
thousand dollars voted by the county of LeFlora
for the purpose of building a public highway
across the county.
Under this law the governor of the state is
authorized to say upon what road it shall be
expended and Governor Brewer directed that it
should be expended in constructing a road from
Greenwood to Itta Bena, the home of Ex-Gov-
ernor HUMPHREYS, the father of the present
Congressman. This new road will be known as
the HUMPHREYS Highway.
The Third District of Lee county has al
ready constructed a good road over portions Of
the Third District running east and west. This
district also has in the county treasury a con-
siderable sum to be expended in further con-
~struction of good roads. Our Congressman Mr..
Gambler, could do the people of the district a
great service if he could secure $50, 600 or any
goodly sum, to be used in connection with this
district fund to complete our roads. This dis
trict was the first to issue bonds for the con-
s~truction of these good roads and if there is
anything in Washington that we can get to help
out we want the officials up there to know that
were are in a receptive mood.
