YELLOW PERIL ALARMS
MEXICO; MAY BAR DOOR.

MEXICO CITY, June 17.-(By AS
sociated Press. AS a result of re-
ports that large numbers of Chinese
are arriving in Mexico, most of them
in a bad state of health and without
money, it is said that a bill will be
presented in congress soon urging
that such Asiatic immigration be re-
stricted. 1t is feared the Chinece will
enter into direct competition with
Mexican labor and eventually force
down the wage scale.
A treaty exists between Mexico
and China, whereby mutual immigra-
ton is unrestricted, but, according
to the newspaper Excelsior, the situa-
ton is so alarming" that legislative
action is probable.

SUGAR BUYERS
WARNED NOT TO
EXCEED NEEDS

Due to hysteria on the part of the
public, the south is just now expert
encing a threatened sugar shortage
dealers report. 1t is said not to be
an actual shortage, there being ample
to go around on normal buying
but the word has gotten out that the
supply is short and people in many I'M
stances are said to be attempting to
purchase in much targer quantities
than usual creating a shortage for
the remainder of the consuming pub
1t was explained today by Frank
Lanier, head of the Americas Grocery
company, wholesalers, that the sup
ply was ample for normal needs, but
that the mills were delivering in the
usual lots and could not be speeded
up, consequently sales could not be
made on larger scale than to meet
the normal demands.
"There is sugar for ALL" he said,
"but people must not buy in unusu-
ally large quantities, or the whole
scheme of supply will be upset"
Mr.. Lanier prepared the following
statement on the situation:
"There is absolutely no use to get
hysterical about not having enough
sugar to meet your ordinary require
ments. If it was known by every one
that they could get ell they wanted,
they would ordinarily buy possibly a
week or ten days supply, but, think
ing it will be scarce they want nat
urally to get from one month to
three months requirements at one
timef Your retailer is just as anx-
ions to sell you all you want as you
are to have it, but it is just this fear
of getting without that is causing
this unusual demand.
"There is in Cuba the largest crop
of raw sugar ever harvested, but the
excessive demand from consumers to
retailer, from them to the jobbers,
and from them to the refiners has
caused the refiners to decline more
orders before the latter part Of Au-
gust to September, as they are
swamped with so much business. This
does not mean that there is no sugar
to be had, but, that they have sold
all they can take care Of until the
early fall; so just buy as you acNsl-
ally need sugar and the jobbers VI U
try to keep the retailers in then
usual supply but neither can the re-
taller, jobher or refiner supply a
fhree months demand in one month
Especially dNrina the fruit season.
$50 just don't waste sugar or any
thing else and l believe there will
be enough Of everything to go around
though we are known as the greatest
nation Of waste on earth.

LOWELL GETS
READY TO TURN
BALE TO CLOTH

Preparations are going ahead in
Americus and at Lowell Mass, the
great Massachusetts textile center,
for the transport of bale of Sumter
county cotton to Lowell by ai'plane
for manufacture into cloth. In AM
ericus the chamber of commerce,
which will undertake the enterprise
as a matter of publicity for the city
and county proposes to allow the
merchants of the city to join in pur-
chasing a small bale, it being planned
to return the manufactured cloth here
for distribution among the donors of
the bale to be disposed of by them
as souvenirs or otherwise as they see
fit. A small bale will be necessary
because of the inability of the planes
at Souther Field to carry full-size
bale of 500 pounds.
Mayor Thompson, of Lowell, has
telegraphed for information concern
ing the grade of cotton and weight
of the bale, evidently so that plans
may be completed there for the i'm
mediate manufacture of the cotton
when it arrives. The following tele-
gram was received from him last ev-
ening:
Lowell, Mass, June 16, 1919.
President Chamber of Commerce
Americas, Ga. Please give fol-
lowing information: weight and
grade of staple of bale
of cotton to be sent by airplane
to Lowell, Mass.
Perry D. Thompson, Mayor
City of Lowell
The following reply was sent:
"Hon. Perry D. Thompson,
Mayor, Lowell, Mass. Bale cot
ton by airplane Americus to
Lowell weighs approximately
four hundred pounds. Grade full
ly good middling, about one inch
staple. Can you arrange for its
manufacture into cloth to be re-
turned here by airplane?
Joseph Perkins, secretary,
Americas Chamber of Com
merce."
The order permitting the trip had
not been received at Souther Fleld
today, but Colonel RAIDER was expect
ing it by mail at any time, and ex-
ing it by mail at any time.
Telegraphic information came from
one of the Air Service departments
indicating to him that the order had
been issued.
President John Sheffield and Sec
retary Perkins, of the chamber of
commerce, visited Souther Field this
morning to consult Colonel RAIDER
concerning the project Colonel Ra-
der stated that he planned to send
two planes on the trip, one carrying
the cotton and the other mechanics
and repairs for possible mishaps in
landing with the unusually heavy
load. Experiments will be required to
determine the best way to place the
cotton on the plane for carrying.
Colonel RAIDER believes the trip to
Lowell can be made in two days, witt
stops the first day at Columbia,
c., Raleigh, N. c., and Washington,
and Mineola, L. l. and Lowell the sec
ond day.
