other officials of the overthrown gov
ernment were deported yesterday by

The dispatch reported that W. Du-
val Brown, American consul at La

with the former president.
Americans Protect Refugees.
Departure of the American consul
and trade commissioner and of other
diplomatic and consular officials with
Guerra was not explained in the cable
gram, but officials here said they un-
doubtedly escorted the former presi--
dent from the country to see that he
comes to no harm
The deposed president with mem
bers of his official family, the dis
patch stated, were sent to Africa, a
Chilean port, where it is reported he
will take passage on some vessel call
ing at the port. Previous to his de-
portation Guerra had been a refugee
in the American legation.
Under Savetra's Control.
Bolivia, the legation cablegram
said, was completely under the con-
troll of the new regime headed by
Bautista Savetra, who had issued a
proclamation providing for the for
nation of a provisional government
under Jose NJ. Escalier, reported on
his way to La Paz from Argentina.
Business houses with the exception

CAN WITHOUT SUGAR.
1t is Practicable and Very Much
Cheaper.

1t will be wisdom on the part of
housekeepers to can the usual amount
of fruits and vegetables this year
even if part or all of the fruit must
be canned without sugar, according to
a statement issued by the United
States department of agriculture.
From all present Indicate sugar
will be more abundant next winter,
when the fruit will be used on the ta-
Bile, the department says. There will
apparently be an increased acreage OF
both cane and beet sugar this year in
the United States, Cuba, and in other
countries in the Northern Hemis-
phere. The rise>in the price of sugar
has encouraged increased paintings
of cane and beets.
No Shortage in Domestic Supplies.
In spite of a world shortage of
sugar and a decrease of 400, 100000
pounds in domestic production, there
has been used or boarded during the
current year in the United States Is
per cent. more sugar than in former
years. In fact, a greater supply OF
sugar than ever before has been
handled in this country during the
past few years, with net imports 25
per cent, or over 1000, 900
pounds greater than in any previous
period. It is obvious, therefore,
that there has been no actual sugar
shortage here this year. The difficult
ties encountered have arisen from
the inability of the consumer to Sc
cure his share of the supply. Unless
enormously increased amounts have
been consumed, the trouble must be
laid to boarding, and it is very evi-
dent that large quantities are being
held for future use both by house.
wives and commercial concerns.
During the past so years the con-
SUMPTION of sugar in the United
States has steadily increased, at an
average annual rate of 1 pound per
year, until the last few years the
average yearly per capita consump-
ton for all purposes is between IS
and 80 pounds. This compares with
per capita consumption Of 5S.e
pounds in 1899. The increased con-
sumption of sugar by the soft-drink,
candy, and ice-cream industries dur
ing recent years has helped raise the
total average, but to what extent is
not knoWn.-News.

MACHINE GUNS
PROTECT NEGROES
TROOPS ORDERED TO PROTECT
PRISONERS IN n. C..
Shoot Straight, Is Order.
Governor Beckett Declares Accused
Men Must Be Saved at
ALI Costs.

Asheville, N. c., July 1S.-"Capt.
Fowler, protect those prisonersfat all
hazards, and notify the people l have
ordered you and your machine gun
ners to shoot straight if an attempt
on the life of the prisoners is made,
is the order given by Governor Bick-
EFT tonight over long distance tele-
phone, from Asheville to Capt. Marion
B. Fowler, captain of the Durham ma
chine gun company, which is protect
ing the jail at Graham, in which three
negroes, charged with an assault On a
white woman, were lodged today.
Later Governor Beckett got into
communication with Capt. Fowler
and learned that the machine gun
ners had the situation we'll in hand
and at 10 O'Clock tonight quiet pre-
vailed.
The machine guns had been placed
around the Alamance jail, while
troops armed with high power rifles
patrolled the immediate vicinity OF
the county bastile, allowing no large
gatherings.
'Shoot Straight
Governor Beckett authorized the
captain to make public statement
notifying the public of Alamance that
no mob violence would be tolerated
and that the lives of the prisoners
must be saved at all hazards, and
ordered the machine gunners to
"shoot straight if the need arose. -
The Chief Executive also informed
Capt. Fowler that other companies
of the State National Guard would be
called out if he should need them to
protect the lives of the prisoners and
instructed the captain in charge or
the situation to notify the adjutant
general, who is also here, if addition
al forces are necessary.
County attorney for Alamance, f.
S. Parker, prevailed upon the crowd
to let the law take it's course and as
sisted in keeping mob violence down
until the arrival of the machine gun
ners. Capt. Fowler was instructed, by
the adjutant general to remove the
prisoners under guard to some other
county, or to the state penientiary, OF
he could do so without melting the
mob to violence.
At a late hour tonight Governor
Beckett had heard nothing further
from Graham and presumed things
had quieted down.

Mob Repulsed By Shots.

a. masked mob attempted to storm

cult to raise the necessary funds. The
work was finally completed, and the
results were so satisfactory, that
within a few months three large fac
tories located there, doubling the
population.
Captain Fisher, who has been the
supervising engineer in charge of the
Bamberg work, stated that it was es-
timated before the work began that
the work could be completed here for
about $4,000, but this estimate was
based on prices at that time. 1t has
been found necessary to pay much
larger wages than anticipated, and up
to this time approximately $4,000
has been spent, of which s11,700 was
secured from outside sources, and
s11,30O has been secured through
local subscriptions. The city was as
sured only of $4,000 outside aid
and the town had agreed to raise
$4,000. If the $4,000 had been
raised in the city, there would have
been ample funds to complete the
work.
Capt. Fisher stated that there is
still some more work to be done
and that it will require about $4,70O
to complete the malaria control work.
If the citizens of Bamberg can secure
the balance pledged at the beginning,
Capt. Fisher feels certain that he can
secure the balance from government
sources. This will be sufficient to
continue all of the malaria control
work, ditching, oiling, etc., until the
18th of November. He reminded the
citizens that this would make the to-
tai of outside funds more than 1900
more than they had expected when
the work was started.
It was suggested that inasmuch as
the town has heretofore spent $4,000
a year to maintain the bitches, which
will have been maintained this year
by the malaria control work, that the
council might see it's way clear to

TOBACCO MARKET
Will OPEN TODAY
SELLING OF THE WEED TO START
IN BAMBERG.
New Era Begins.
People of This Entire Section Of the
State Invited to Come to Bam-
berg and Witness Sales.

Everything is in readiness for the
opening of the Bamberg tobacco mar
ket in this city today, Thursday. The
first sale of the "weed' will be held
today, and the new era in the farm
life of Bamberg county has formally
started.
Both warehouses were open during
the past week, and have on hand a
liberal quantity of home grown to-
bacco to place on the market today
An expe9t auctioneer will sell the to-
bacco. Many buyers are here rep
resenting the big tobacco concerns
of this country and the export trade.
The prospect is that the Bamberg
tobacco farmers will realize fine pric-
es on their product, as the better
grades of tobacco are greatly in de-
mand. Very little encouragement is
offered the farmer, however, for the
poorer grades. Very little of the poor
grades should be put on the market,
however, as it is a we'll established
fact that Bamberg county makes good
tobacco, the kind that the buyers are
eager to secure. Of course, there will
naturally be some poor tobacco, but
with the past experience our far
mers have had in the curing of their
crop, poor grades will be reduced to
a minimum.
A very cordial invitation is ex-
tended to the farmers and business
men from all section Of this part of
the state to visit Bamberg during the
season and see just what the Bam-
berg farmers are doing to combat the
weevil. There is established here a
stable tobacco market affording the
best methods of margeting tobacco,
and the farmers are assured of the
fact that prices in Bamberg will be
as good as elsewhere in the
state, and perhaps better, for
this market has been fortunate in
interesting as managers of the ware
houses tobacco men of lifetime ex-
perience. R. j. Works, manager of
the Farmers warehouse, and J. L..
knight, manager Of the Denbow
warehouse, are both from Lexington,
KY, which is said to be the largest
tobacco market in the world. They
know the business from alpha to ONE
ga, and they are pulling strong for
the local market. They are both on
the ground, although they have a
string of warehouses elsewhere, to
give their personal attention to their
interests here.
Some twenty-five to thirty-fve to-
bacco men will be lodged in Bamberg
during the tobacco season, which will
afford Bamberg citizens a fine oppor-
tunity to advertise the hospitality of
the town. Many of these gentlemen
have their wives and families with
them.
The public is cordislly invited to
attend the opening of the market in
Bamberg today, apd at any time dur
ing the season. Tobacco. is sold in
a most unique manner. It is auction
ed off the highest bidder, having
previously been arranged in neat
piles. 1t is source of never ceasing
interest to view this proceeding,
which is both novel and entertain
ing to those who know nothing of
the marketing of tobacco.
It makes no difference whether you
live in Bamberg or not, whether you
plant tobacco or not, come out to
the opening.
Watch Bamberg grow.
