START MADE ON
LIFTING COTTON
EXPORT EMBARGO

WASHINGTON, February 25.-Rep-
resentatives from the cotton-raising
states were successful in their efforts
last night to write an amendment into
the sundry civil bill designed to re-
move all embargoes placed by the war
trade board against cotton export ship
ments The amendment, however, is
not effective until after June 80 The
bill, including the amendment, goes
to the senate.
Although designed primarily to af-
feet cotton shipments, the amendment
applies to all American goods ex
ported to foreign countries. The
amendment prepared at a conference
of southern representatives was offer
ed in the house by Representative
Bland, of Georgia, and afterwards
amended on motion of Representative
Stegall, of Alabama, so that cotton
seed and peanut oil also would not be
suject to embargo.
The amendment was offered while
the house, in committee of the whole,
was considering an item of the sun
dry civil bill reappropriating for the
war trade board the unexpected bal
ance of appropriations granted last
year for continuing its operation. Con-
tinuance of the agency for part of
the next fiscal year may be necessary,
it was said by members of the appro-
priations committee, who framed the
sundry bill. Funds, it was added, also
would be necessary for the agency to
settle its accounts.
The appropriation item was approx
ed after adoption of the Bland amend
ment, which directs that no part of
the appropriations will be available
unless all embargoes are lifted.
All of the senators and representa-
tives from the cotton producing states
signed petition which was presented
to President Wilson upon his arrival
in Washington today, requesting him
to remove the embargo on export cot,
ton. Every member of the Georgia
delegation signed it. The petition re-
cites that the price of cotton is now
below the cost of production and that
the cotton business is being demoraliz-
ed, all of which could be relieved by
the removal of the exiting emborgo
regulations.

Farmers to Share
Surplus of Nitrate

George O. Marshall, county agent,
announced today that he will have
surplus of government nitrate from
the shipment now due from Savannah
from which he will be able to sup
ply in small quantities those farmers
who did not give their orders in time
to be included in the original list
The present shipment is composed
of 600 tons, which will be divided,
parts being delivered at different sta
tions in the county. The surplus will
come from the Americus shipment.
Mr.. Marshall asks that all who desire
to share in this surplus see him at
once.

bia bone dry.
The President was at work when

domestic matters before the Presi-
dent meets the members of the foreign
Relations Committees at dinner tomor-
row night to go over the constitution
of the League of Nations.
The Presidents only engagement
made for today was the Cabinet meet
ing this afternoon. Vice President
Marshall, who has been presiding in
the Presidents absence, was invited
to be present again, and to take part
in the deliberations.

82nd Division
and Rainbow to

DARIS, Feb (Monday)-(By
Associated Press) Nearly a
half million men of the American
forces will before July l either
have returned to the United States
or be homeward bound, according
to plans of the General Staff. an
nounced in a general order today.
The Eighty-second (from Camp
Gordon) and Forty-second (Rain-
bow divisions are scheduled to
sail in April.
Americus times-recorder., 1919-02-25

Another dwelling house, on Mr..
Bells place, which was used for the
storage of grains and feed, was torn
down by the storm, as were his barn
and smokehouse All of his live stock
came out safely but his loss in pea
nuts, wheat and rice, stored in the
wrecked buildings, will be heavy.
The family of Mr.. Derriso, living
about three miles from Leslie, had
just rfinished breakfast and were sit
ting about the house waiting for the
rain to quit falling when the tornado
struck. The house was lifted cleanly
from over their heads, leaving them
sitting or standing in the pouring rain
outdoors, just as they had been in
the house. The dwelling, stockade,
smokehouse and other outbuildings
were swept entirely away, scarcely a
trace where they stood being left of
any of them. No member of the
family suffered scratch, except Mrs.
Derriso, whose hand was slightly cut.
Lee Bass, farmer of that section
was driving along the road in the
pathway of the storm when it struck
him. The buggy was blown over, the
mule he was driving was shown down,
he was pitched out, and boy who was
riding with him was picked up and
carried 100 yards by the twister. The
boy finally managed to grab a piece
of shrubbery and held until the wind
had passed.
One report said that two or three
tenant houses on Mr. Bass's planta-
ton had been demolished
Pieces of shingles and other parts
from the wreckage of Mr.. Derriso's
house were picked up two miles from
the place where the house stood in the
direction Of Leslie.
Residents of Leslie stated that they
saw the black funnel-shaped cloud in
the distance. although the rain was
pouring there at the time. Very lit
tie wind was perceptible in Leslie,
however.
News of the cyclone reached that
city quickly and physicians and citi-
zens rushed to the scene in automo-
biles to assist the victims, first re-
ports being that a number had been
badly hurt. A large number of spec
tators also made the trip. despite the
rain which continued to pour all day.
