WATERMELOES
ARE BRINGING
GOOD PRICES
DEMAND FOR Them STRONG
Sumter's Crop is a Very
Good One

While comparatively few peaches
have been shipped from Americus, and
this only in crate shipments, the diff
ference will more than be offset i'll
the cash returns from watermelon
shipments, which already exceed the
shipments made last July to this date,
and yet the shipping season is just at
the best.
The major portion of the melon
shipments are made from Anderson
Vile, the fruit being produced in Sum-
ter county. That historic little town
is fast gaining a national reputation
for the quantity and fine quality OF
it's watermelons.
This summer there are probably 600
or 700 acres planted in watermelons
about Andersonville "a half dozen far
mers being extensively engaged in the
business. This season melons are
scarce generally. and the Anderson
vile growers are getting top notch
prices for their product.
Mr.. B. F. Easterlin, one of the larg-
est growers there, was in Americus
yesterday, and reported many carload
shipments daily from his town. Buyers
and commission dealers are there to
pay for the fruit on the track as fast
as loaded, and sales are effected with
out any difficulty.
Good melons, averaging 1000 to the
car, sell for $3.50 to 5000 per car, ac-
cording to size. Mr.. Easterlin loaded
three cars yesterday with extra fine
ones and expected to receive the top
notch price of $1,000 for the three car
loads.

LEE COUNTY BOOSTER
WAS here YESTERDAY

His many friends in Americus were
glad to greet yesterday genial John NJ.
Hines, of Leesburg, who was here on
a brief trip. No other man in Lee
county is more popular with his wide
circle of friends than John Hines, who
is known far and wide not only in his
home county, but throughout this en-
tire section of Georgia, where he has
travelled for years.
While he was boosting business gen.
orally, Mr. Hines did not fail to boost
Lee county There is no liver wire IN
Lee county than he when it comes to
e1 tolling the virtues of that favored
region. Whenever he goes as a tras
cling salesman he talks Lee county.
No man in that county has done any
thing like as much to advertise and
bring to public attention its good rea-
lures as he.
"Why, we have the best county in
Georgia. said he, with that vast, ex.
pansive smile of his which marks him

has attended in long while, because
Of close confinement to business. Mr.,

as captain of his company, had COM
mand of the entire regiment through

DEATH CAME SUDDENLY
TO JOHN v. BURKE
End Came As He Sat Upon
Steps

Mr.. John W. Burke died quite sud
denly yesterday afternoon at his resi-
dence on Mayo street, East Americus
Death was probably due to some heart
affection, as during the day he APP
peared in his usual health.
Early in the afternoon, while at
work in his yard, he complained o.
sudden illness and sat down upon the
steps. He was seized with nausea
and died in a brief time.
Mr.. Burke was of middle age, and
until recently was employed at the
Seaboard shops here. He had resided
some time in Americus and was very
we'll known and esteemed. His wife
and five children survive him.
MIR. Burke was a member of Ameri-
Gus Camp, Woodmen of the World
and the funeral services this after
noon will be under the auspices OF
the local camp.

I'VE are convinced the hour has ar

CHAOTIC STATE
IN MEXICO NOW
WEARIES EUROPE
AMERICA MUST ACT Soon
Else Powers May Assume
Charge There

Washington, D. c., July Is. - Al
ready one of the greatest European ).
powers, through it's diplomatic req,
resentative here, has called the atten-
ton of Secretary Bryan to the chaotic
conditions in Mexico and the effects
on the welfare and safety of its citi-
zens there, with polite inquiry al
to what the United States proposes to
do about it.
Whether the inquiry was part of a
concerted movement On the part of the
European powers to bring the staea
| department to a declaration of it's
purpose toward Mexico did not de-
velop today. Reports from the city
of Mexico, however, would appear TO
foreshadow that conclusion. Until re-
Gently President Wilson has attached
little Importance to rumors of outside
influence being brought to bear to
force the United States to recognize
the Huerta regime. 1t is beginning tu
be apparent now that there must be
very soon some official declaration on
the subject to reassure the European
powers on the protection of their
citizens and subjects against pecuni-
ary loss by the continuance of present
conditions. Failing such a declara-
ton, some officials fear that Europe
may feel themselves free to take steps
to restore peace. ''~ ~ y

Secretary Bryan was asked today ie
any foreign power had made repre-
sentations to him regarding the situ-
alton in Mexico. His reply was fat
declination to discuss the situation in
any way. The diplomatic circle has
its own idea of which power the in
quiring one is, but in the absence OF
announcement none of the diplomatists
would make any statement which
could be quoted with authority That
