AMERICANS BRING
 GOLD ID VERA CRUZ
Money Changing Seems to be Important Industry in
 the Occupied City

Vera Cruz, Mex, July 12.-tSpecial Cor respondence.) 1.-The "Espagne, the French ship that carried the delegates to Niagara, was In the harbor today, as well as the "Alfonso 13" from Barcelona, Spain. When the ships of this type come in the best people turn out to greet friends that arrive, and for the first time l saw some le oies that we would consider pretty back home. I made friends with little boy that was with his mother awaiting the ar rival of relatives. He was baseball en- thusiast, just like my boys are, and wrote bis name down for me. I knew a few words of his language and he had picked up little English, we got along fine. There is another 'muchaco' here that works for bank that is a friend of mine, and the way he is picking up our larguage is wonderful.
 Speaking of banks, l note in todays "Eistamen'' that one of the banks in this city has declared an per cent dividend, payable August 1. Just how they can do this is a mystery to me- for conditions have been SO unsettled that no one could tell when loan was safe. Another thing Is that the price of Mexican money varies greatly. Today I got three for one for gold four days ago 1t was 3.20; so l do not see how they know when they have made any money. Speculating in eX- change Is a big thing here; nearly all classes engage in it. Everywhere you go you see the sign "Cambio de Moneda,' which means change roney A peculiar thing is that English gold does not bring quite so much as ours. The Eng fish sailors, when paid off, first convert their money into United States and then cl ange 1t into Mexican. They tell me they get better rates that way. I know the ce shier of the bank that will make pay ment of the per cent dividend, and I learn from him that they carry heavy res erse in actual gold, and that their pe per money Is sought after, and is more valuable than that of any other bank in tfis section. They have branch banks, and most peculiar name for it. They use the word sucursal' to denote ttanen bank. It is written after the name of the parent bank Is given. In the best banks they always have one man that can spe ak English. One thing that has helped the banking situation here has been the great amount of gold that has come in with the United States forces. Business. however, is practically null, and unless the railway is soon repaired so freight can be transported there will be no bank dividends or anything else.

LAWRENCE FARMERS
 STUDYING THEFARM.
Great Number of Planters Making Success of Diver
 sified Farming

Moulton. July ial)-Notwith- standing the fact that a great number of Lawrence farmers are very pessimistic at present because of the unusually long drouth, yet there are a few who have been making a special study of their busi- ness and in a way have made preparation for such year both by better methods of farming and by laying up a bank ac- count in the past.
 It has just developed that one man in the western part of the county has been clearing over $io0o a year on his rarm This man does not care to have his name made public. He is making U special study of crop rotation and stock rais- ing. Another very successful farmer, E6 Stewart, just south of Moulton, has made more than b bushels of wheat on each of five acres sown last fall. He is following diversified farming and making a decided success of it.
 few years ago F farmers bought out the Farmers Union warehouse at Hills boro when 1t had to be sold by that or ganization. By skillful management these men have realized per cent on their in vestment in the past year.
