LEFT LETTER TO MOTHER
No Cause Was Assigned For

MACON Ca, Sept. 26.-(SpeciaD--
Placing revolver to his right temple

sion; that no present army officer shall
be eligible to be a candidate for any
elective Office; that the federal and

To these demands Carranza replied
that only the conference itself was
able to take up the questions.
Regarding the cutting of the rail-
way lines north of Aguas Calientss,
Carranza says this is not hostile, but
a necessary act in view of Villas war;
like preparations. If anarchy comes
and blood is spilled as a result of this,
the blame, he says, is on the head OF
villa. sii
Nearby garrisons are assembling

WAGONLOAD HERE
HAULED ON SUMTER'S ROADS
Largest Load of Cotton Re.
CeiVed in AmeriCuS

Since the dawn of the days of good
roads in Sumter county many heavy
loads cotton have been hauled tc
Americus over these roads from every
section of the county, but it remained
for Mr.. ]. NJ. Summerford to break the
record, which he did yesterday n
bring girg twelve heavy bales on a foul
mile wagon from his fine farm at Les
lie, distance of twelve or fourt1 I'll
miles. fIiSleLl
The trip was made easily over the
fine Leslie road and the four mu, IS
pulling this load of six thousand
pounds cotton-twelve bales of 90
pounds weight each, were not in tn
least jaded when they stopped at tn :
warehouse.
frequently as many as ten a2tl
eleven bales are hauled tot Americus
by four mule teams, while it is no un-
usual sight to see two mules pulling
q load of eigh bales here. In former
years, before the days of good graded
roads in Sumter, three bales made Up
good load for two mules, while the
big wagons of the larger farmers,
drawn by six of his Dest mules, never
brought more than eight bales.
There is no better argument than
this in favor of good roads, and it is
surprising that such large number
OF farmers are so strenuously oppo5-
ed to the extension of the graded sys-
TEN in Sumter county, so much so that
they antagonize every proposition for
bond issue, the proceeds to be applied
to roads Improvement.

Pennington, Mo-, Dec. 8, 1914.
We, the Live Stock Dealers Of st.

Missouri, with many other states,

This quarantine has cost the Gov

ministration allows this TO continue,
the Democratic party will not be able
to stand under this burden in the next
General election.
1t seems DR.. Melvin was not con-
tented for the Packers to get many
thousand head of our stock by degrees
for half price, but ordered the quar-
antine raised long enough for hun
dreds of carloads to be shipped into
East St. Louis, then closed down at
the end of the last day, and all this
stock had to be sacrificed to the pack

GREAT LOSSES SUSTAINED
BY SHIPPERS AND STOCkMEN

The stock men and farmers, who
ship cattle and other stock to the
National Stock Yards in East st.
Louis H.. have suffered great losses.
occaSioned by the enforcement of the
present rules Of the quarantine syS-
TEN, which permits their shipping
cattle there for market, exhibition,
etc, but prohibits their return ship
mcnt after being there short while.
Many farmers and shippers have
complained that when they were I'M
able to sell their cattle 10 advantage
within a day Of two and sought to
have them shipped back to the farm,
they were prohibited to do so by viz
tue Of the rules Of the quarantine
system, which they Ohc farmers and
shippers think very unjust aod con
denim in loudcst terms.
The shippers say, that, when they
were forbidden to ship their cattle
back again to the ranch, the only
thing left them to do-the only al
ternativc-was to sell them for what
ever they could get, in many cases
being forced to sell for as much as
$3.50 less per hundred than they had
given; thus suffering great loss.
That they were compelled TO take
the best price the packers saw fit to
give.
One Of our leading local srockmen,
Mr.. Jas. Highley, of Desloge. Mo,
tells us that he bought car load Of
cattle one afternoon recently at the
National Stock Yards, ILL.,, for a Ger
tain price with the intention Of ship
ping them out of the Yards the fol-
lowing day; but he was informed the
next day that he would not be per-
mtted to ship the cattle from the
Yards and that they would have to be
killed within "a hours in compliance
with the quarantine regulations. And
so Mr.. Highley was at the mercy of
the packers and was forced to sell
at a price $l.50 less per hundred
pounds thar he had given the pre-.
vious day.
