While Americas warehouses are all
stacked to the roof with cotton bales
not only the four houses here already,
but two new buildings as well and sew
eral improvised warehouses-guano
factories converted for the season into
cotton storage apartments-the same
conditions are said to exist in practi-
cally every other town, large and
small, throughout this territory. At
railway depots and on the farms as
we'll, there is now an unending wilder
ness of bales.
At every depot along the Seaboard
and Central railways the bales are pill
ed as high as can be reached, while
other hundreds are tumbled out in
nearby fields for lack of storage space.
In village streets are unbroken lines
of cotton bales, many of which have
been lying there for weeks exposed
to rain and storm. On the farms, too
the cotton is piled up-thousands Of
bales-awaiting the turn of the tide,
which is so slow in coming. A great
deal of this cotton will be badly dam
aged, and will require carefcl picking
over and repacking.
A gentleman coming to Americas to-
day from over the eastern division of
the Seaboard declared that from Sa-
vannah to Amercus the bales were pill
ed up in every town, long lines of cot
ton lying along the railway track, ex-
posed to the weather. 1t would be
difficult to estimate the number Of
bales thus lying around loosely. In
Sumter county alone more than 1900
bales are being held on four farms,
awaiting rise in values.
Here in Americas the warehouses
are filled up as stated, and little cot
ton is allowed to remain unprotected
in the streets. Two local fertilizer
plants have also been converted into
storage warehouses and are filled UP
with cotton bales.

1O1 RANCH WILD WEST
SHOW HERE NOVEMBER !

Miller Bros & Arlington's 101 Ranch
Wild West show is coming to Ameri-
Gus. The date has been definitely fixed
for Saturday, November 7. The 101
Ranch Wild West is the representative
show of its kind and, according to re-
pute. the largest frontier exhibition
now in existence. Miller Bros, who
are associated with Edward Arlington
in the ownership and management OF
the show, are the owners of the famous
1O1 Ranch at Bliss, Oklahoma, and as
the horses, the steers, the buffaloes and
many of the cowboys, cowgirls and
Indians come from this noted ranch,
the genuineness and realism of the ex-
hibition is assured. Some idea of the
scope of the l01 Ranch may be gained
from the statement that it is 81 miles
long and miles wide, that over fifteen
thousand head of cattle and 5000 hoss
are now running free on the ranch,
that 10000 acres were devoed this year
to wheat alone, 5000 acres to corn,
very large acreage to cotton, and hun
dreds of acres to the raising of vege-
tables. With such a ranch and its re-
sources behind the show it 1t not sur
prising that it should have character
peculiarly it's own.
In organizing the 101 Ranch show at
the jamestown Fair seven years ago
the managers announced that it would
be their purpose to present genuine
Wild West exhibition, devoid of circus
features or any other acts that would
not be in keeping with an exhibition of
it's character. This plan, it is an
nounced, has been rigidly adhered to,
and the performance with one excep-
ton, 1t is announced, is confined strict
ly to the exploitation Of features pecul-
lar to the Far West. The one exception
is troop of Russian Cossacks, and
they have been introduced purely as a
contrast to the American cowboys
method of rough riding. Incidentally,
the Cossacks have particular and
timely interest owing to the European
war.
In the performances to be given here
particular attention will be given, it
is declared, to illustrating the life of
the early settlers as well as the du-
ties and pastimes of the modern ranch.
Indians will attack pioneers camp:
outlaws will hold-up the stage coach;
a horse thief will be captured and pun
ished; cowboys on swift horses will
illustrate the old method of carrying
the mails by pony express ;Sthere will
be bucking horse contests, a wrestling
match with a wild steer and many
other exciting events.
There will be two performances, the
| first at 215 and the final one at SIS.
There will be a parade at 1920. Ad-
vertising Car No. is in the city to-
day, heralding the coming of the show.

MENGELS LOSE
HEAVILY FROM
MEXICAN RAIDS
Mahogany Properties Stu
ated in Republic Across
Line of Honduras, Said to
Have Been Practically
Confiscated by Bands OF
Greasers.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS


New Orleans, May 4.-Three large
mahogany properties operated by
Americans in Mexico near the Brit
ish Honduras line were aided and the
plants wrecked by Mexicans three days
after Vera Cruz was taken. according
to J. S. Houston Of the J. s. Houston
Lumber Company Of ChiacgO and the
Memphis Veneer and Lumber Com
pany of Memphis. Mr.. Houston ar
rived today on the steamer Cope
name, which brought twenty Tefu-
gees who had escaped from Mexico
to Belize, British Honduras
The heaviest losers from the raids
were the c. c. Mengel & Bro. Com
pany of Louisville, Ky. The others
are the Stamford Lumber Company
and the Lagonia Lumber Company,
both eastern concerns.
The MeXiCans confscated $4,000
worth of Commissary supplies. wrecked
the plant took charge of 30 miles of
logging railroad and drove so employees
CesSiOn, according to Mr.. Houston.
Twenty one Of them were Americans
and they arrived here today. The
Mexicans are trying to ship some of
the logs to the sea and sell them.
The Stamford and LagOna proper
ties are farther into the interior than
the Mengel plant and Mr.. Houston said
he did not know exactly the extent of
damage done TO those properties. Mr..
Houston said these properties had been
threaten several times during the
last four years but no damage had
been done heretofore. He said the
impression in this isolated district was
that war between the United States
and Mexico was on and that the NIexi-
cans seemed bent on taking what re-
prisals they could from the undefended

that he would ask that the difference
be looked into by the entire board Of
commissioners. The mayor was not
in the city yesterday, but is expected
to return today. Not desiring to crowd
the mayors time, Commissioner Pou
said there would likely be a public
hearing Of the charge against each Of
flcer on Friday afternoon. Both of
the police officials desire to furnish
testimony from witnesses in support
Of their claim that they were not to
blame
Both Of the officers are going about
their duties as If nothing of out OF the
ordinary had happened None of them
have been suspended.
