On account OF this lack OF adiusta bill
fly America has tried to adapt local con-
ditions TO her methods instead of suit
ing her methods to local conditions, and
due to this fact she has not obtained the
important position in commerce which
she should have in view of the favorable
conditions produced by the European
conflict
America has failed to realize the needs
OF South American countries: she has
also failed to see that products must
be suited to local conditions and has not
been willing to give long credit as have
France, England and Germany.
The increase in commerce between
the United States and South America
has been due more to the upset condi-
tons produced ny the war than to the
labor OF American exporters. II the

change his methods and adapt himsel.

Inc intensity ana System or CuitlNd-
ton of South America are different
from that of the United States, and
therefore the agricultural machinery to
be exported must be adaptable to spe-
DIAL conditions there existant One OF
the principal causes that has limited the
use OF American machinery and that has
also provoked the lack of confidence in
Its use has been the lack of adapta-
bility to the cultural peculiariites, which
has been shown by failure and abandon
ment of such machinery.
II must not be forgotten that in gem
eral the rural South American popula-
ton is still ignorant and not skilful In
the use OF agricultural machinery. be-
cause the natives have had no experience
with it. Therefore the conditions TO be
fulfilled by such machinery must be
simplicity. easy manipulation and rigidity
OF construction. Tho first point to be
realized by the American exporting con-
Germs desiring to conquer the vast Latin
American markets is the study OF the
special agricultural conditions OF each
country and the adaptation of such ma
chinery to those requirements.
After the adaptability has been ac-
complished II Is necessary to carry on
an active campaign of propaganda and
| demonstration, which is evidently the
preliminary step for profitable venture.
To proceed otherwise and to pretend TO
make immediate transactions without a
preparatory campaign is only to make
the first sale and then have for a long
time the gates OF the markets closed.

Meeting of City Demonstration Club.
The City Demonstration Club met
Wednesday, June goth at the Girls.
High School to hear Mrs. Dora Walk
er lecture on the steam pressure
cooker
ALI the ladies present were much
interested in seeing a whole meal
cooked in 25 minutes with 20 pounds
pressure of steam, from / pint Of wa
ter.
The meal consisted of beef roast,
string beans, Irish potatoes and stuI-
fed peppers with thin slices of bacon.
All the juices were retained in the
vegetables, and we enjoyed a hearty
meal, with only a few minutes prep
aration, and the expenditure Of few
cents worth of gas.
Canning can be done quickly and
safely in this pressure cooker, and
much time and energy over a hot
stove can be saved.
We wish more ladies would at
tend these instructive sessions. We
always bring away some valuable
knowledge that can be used to better
our household conditions.

to Guard Against Dis

l have heard of a great many ru-

ton, seem to be without foundation
in fact, but l have heard OF some in
cendiary talk, which is just as much
a violation OF the law as overt acts.
AS the Mayor Of the City, am de-
termined that there shall be no dis
turbance, if it can possibly be pre-
vented, and I want both white and
colored citizens to understand that
we do not intend to have any disturb

De necessary to swear in as special

ing in as special peace officers the

investigation by City Council of
Shooting of Pinckney Brad
ford Results in Dismissal

The investigation of the circum-
stances Of the shooting of Pinckney
Bradford, colored, by Policeman Ju-
liam Chandler was continued at the
adjourned session of City Council
had been taken Council went into
executive session to consider the
case, and the following decision was
rendered:
after hearing all the evidence in
the investigation of the charges
brought against Policeman Chandler
by certain coiored citizens, and after
a careful consideration of the same,
the City Council has reached the fol-
lowing conclusion: That Policeman
Chandler was in error in going to
the baseball park at the request Of
the management of the colored base
ball team on the occasion referred TO,
when he had not been directed to do
so by either the Chief Of Police or
some other superior official Of the
city: That Council is of the opinion
that Mr.. Chandler thought that he
was acting clearly within his rights
when he went at their request, as he
said that he and other police officers
had been in the habit, when they were
not on duty, and when the colored
teams were playing, that at the re-
quest Of. the management they would
go down 20 the park to keep order,
and were paid for their services by
such management Council was not
aware of this custom until this in
vestigation, and if it had been aware
of the same, it would have put stop
to it. The Council strongly condemns
any police officer who has acted sim
ilarly on prior occasions and should
it occur in the future, such police Of
fcer will be dismissed from the force.
policeman Chandler states in his
testimony that on the occasion in
question he went to the place where
the difficulty occurred, for the pur-.
pose Of requiring those on the outside,
who were on the fence peeeping
through the cracks, and on little
outhouse, to remove, and that when
he had about reached the fence, ne
ordered Pinckney Bradford to come
down from house he was on: That
Pinckney made some remark which
he did not understand, and he got over
the fence and approached nearer to
where Pinckney Bradford was who
was at the time getting down from
the house: that he inquired of him
what he had said, and he said that
his remarl, was: What in the hell
have you got to do with it?" where
upon he grabbed him and told him to
consider himself under arrest, and
Pinckney turned around, and he slap
ped him, and then he said. iPinckney
resisted arrest, and he took his pis-
tol and hit him on the side Of the
head, and it was then grabbed by
Pinckney and the shooting occurred
"In this Policeman Chandler was in
the wrong in that, in the opinion OF
the Council, it was not necessary in
order to accomplish the arrest to
slap the said Pinckney Bradford and
use such force as he did, and in this
Policeman Chandler acted in the
wrong, and Council disapproves Of
such actions, and hereby suspends
Policeman Chandler for a period OF
fifteen days without pay
