Why the Dutch Raise Potatoes.
eau Claire Journal)
We raise potatoes for the Irish,
Though it's much against our will;
But there's method in our madness,
For we hope TO make a kill.
They are glad 10 eat our taters.
Fond OF sauerkraut over much;
When they get TO eating WINES,
Then we think they'll be half Dutch.
In the days OF old we fought them
On the sea and on the land,
But in those days they were fighters,
And an 1rishman had sand.
Now we try a different method.
He will think his name is Mud,
For when we want to Kill him
We will fire German spud.
OF what use is an Irishman?
I'm sure il is not known
Why TO eat our German tatoes
For they're better than his own.
He sometimes tries to raise them,
But they don't amount to much:
He should know from past experience
That he cannot beat the Dutch.
We raise potatoes in America;
We raise them on the, Rhine;
We raise them by the million;
Yes, we raise them all the time.
We raise them for the honor
And sometimes for the show
We don't care rap who eats them.
So the Dutchman gets the dough.

Two Modern School Build
iHgS For Americas

Complete in every detail, modern,
sanitary and constructed upon the mos.
advanced and approved lines adopted
i in the erection of school buildings, the
Prospect Heights and the East Amerl-
Gus schools were on yesterday officially
accepted by the building committee Of
the Americas board OF education and
are ready for occupancy; an end long
desired by the residents of these re-
spective residence sections of Ameri-
Gus.
The building committee, with Supt.
Mathis and a representative of the firm
o. contractors, Little & Phillips, made
a visit to each new building and gave
il thorough inspection throughout. The
buildings met with general approval.
and it is said report to that effect will
be made to the board of education at
its next meeting.
The new buildings are of brick and
each will accommodate about 150 pa-
pills They are in localities far re-
moved from the Furlow Grammar
school and will prove of greatest con-
venience to pupils of first, second and
third grades residing in their proxiIn-
|ity Heretofore these small pupils
were forced to walk more than a mile
to the public school, hardship upon
them during the winter months.
Besides, the new buildings will pro-
vide accommodation for 300 pupils
now attending the badly overcrowdcd
Furlow school, where 700 pupils are
packed into the several grades, greatly
to their detriment The conditions at
this school rendered imperative the
erection Of the two houses in East
Americas and Prospect Heights. The
buildings cost, completed, about $4,000
each, ande are models of their kind.
AS it would disrupt the schools to
break up classes as now organized, the
buildings will not be occupied until
the beginning of the fall term in Sep
TENDER next.

DIED UNDER HIS ENGINE

Fatal Accident Yesterday Resulted in the Death Of EHgi
RCGr Lee HightOWer Of Americas Engine Turned

and Badly Diuring His Fireman Engineer High
tower Resident Of Americas; Body Brought HereI

Engineer Lee Hightower, of Ameri-
Gus, was instantly killed and his col
ored fireman badly injured when Sea-
board freight train No. SO was wrecked
yesterday afternoon at Harmon, Ala, a
small station near Hurtsboro. The en-
CINE, it is said, turned over, and the
body of the young engineer was found
pinioned beneath it where he had died
bravely at the post of duty.
Meagre information of the accident
was received at division headquarters
in Americas late in the afternoon, but
the cause of the wreck and extent of
| it, was not given.
Announcement of the tragic death of
Engineer Hightower caused profound
est sorrow in Americas, where he had
resided during several years and was
universally esteemed. He is survived
by his young wife, who was Miss Car
RE Gray. daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. W.
C. Gray, of this city.
Number SO, a through freight for
Montgomery, left Americus at 8:15
o'clock yesterday morning with Engi-
neer Lee Hightower at the throttle of
the ponderous locomotive. All went
well until the little town of Harmon
was neared when, without warning the
engine careened and turned over with
the brave engineer still holding the
throttle, when his life was crushed out.
The colored fireman, whose name
could not be ascertained, had a leg
broken and sustained other injuries,
though to what extent the message
sent here did not state.
A wrecking crew was sent out from
Americas and the debris of the disas-
ter cleared last night. The body of

AMERICAS PAYS
Thirteen CENTS
FINEST COTTON
STRONG DEMAND FOR STAPLE
Sent Values to High Notch
Yesterday

Americas cotton men were elated
yesterday when the cotton market not
only showed a disposition to get out
of the rut in which it has wabbled for
? month, but did get out OF it and grab
bed the aeroplane for a fight to
higher attitudes. The actual advance
ia futures was ten TO twelve points
only, but the evidence Of very strong
market brought decided improvement
to the situation locally.
There was a good demand for cot
ton, and not few small lines offered
were readily taken at prevailing prices,
around IL 1-2 to 10 ga cents, for the
good grades.
1t was stated, however, that the fin,
er grades would bring even better
price-as much as thirteen cents-such
was the demand for fine cotton. The
supply on hand is diminishing rapid
ly and will soon be exhausted, a fact
which renders spinnersNa bit nervous.
Stocks in Americas warehouses are
being rapidly reduced, and even the
lower grades are bringing higher
prices.
Holders Of cotton here are feeling
better than at any time within two
months, or since the market dropped
from thirteen cents in November. The
entire crop here has been marketed,
and all that remains here of any "visi-
bly, supply is in the warehouses, and
