When Governor Cruee vetoed the

posing Col Suggs in favor of some
one whom the tin bridge trust could
manipulate to their satisfaction he did
a most popular service to the citizen e
ship of tn state.

PICNIC WILL Be At
WH|TT|NCT0N PARK
so DECIDED AT MEETING HELD
AT City HALL ON SATURDAY
NIGHT.

After prolonged discussion Sat
urday night it was finally decided
by the city commissioners and those
interested in the anniversary picnic
to have the affair at Wilmington
Park on the 2Sth and 29th of the
present month. At one time it was
hoIght the affair would be hclG on
Main street and the city commits
sioners had granted their permission
TO use the streets for that purpose,
but so much opposition developed
that it was thought best in order to
harmonic all factions to have the
picnic at Wilmington Park. The
secretary of the commercial club will
appoint committees today and active
work will begin raising funds and
making all necessary preparations fOr
the event. 1t is undecided whether
barbecue will be served or Just a
basket picnic had, this will be de
terInlned Wnen the committee learns
just what financial backing it can
secure. A barbecue is pretty eX-
pensive at the present prevailing
prices of cattle and it is doubtful if
sufficient funds could be raised for
that purpose, but enough can be Sc
cured to put on first class basket
picnic and in all probability this is
what will be done.
Attractions have been advertised
for and an effort to secure first class
shows for this occasion will be
made. The committee will arrange
the program after they know def
nitely what they will have 70 offer
the public and it will be published.

AMERICANS FACE
RUIN IN MEXICO
REVOLUTIONS HAVE SWEPT
FORTUNES FROM FOREIGN
RESIDENTS.

Washington, d. c., July 13.-Desti-
tute Americans are arriving in the
United States on every boat from
Mexican ports. Many of them face
financial ruin on account of the series
of revolutions which has paralyzed
commercial and industrial enterprises
in Mexico and they are leaving the
southern republic with reluctance.
Americans are empowered to draw
upon the state department for funds
to bring Americans out of the various
danger zones, and, in some instances,
notably at Torreon, Ambassador Hen
ry Lane Wilson has sent money to
be expended by consuls and consular
agents to relieve actual hunger.
Before Mexico passed through the
travail which commenced with the
Madero revolt against the Diaz re-
gime, most of the now INDECENT Am
orleans were engaged in prosperous
ranching and mining enterprises or
other commercial pursuits.
While the United States government
has repeatedly warned them to flee
and depend upon the government of
the United States to secure a settle
ment of their claims against Mexico,
the fear of delay in the adjustment
of claims and loss of property has
made hundreds risk remaining in the
revolutionary country.
Within the last month between four
and five hundred have been brought
to the United States at government
expense.
