MUCH COTTON DISPOSED OF

Gatfncy, Aug. IA large number
Of bales of cotton were sold last week
on the Gatlncy market. Many of the
farmers who arc holding cotton are
of the opinion that the price will go
much higher within the next few
weeks, but there are other who say
that it is likely to go lower. One en-
couraging feature is. that the mills
throughout the country have very
small supplies on hand and most of
them that had accumulated large sup
plies Of goods have gotten rid of the
stock and are sold up for several
months to come. Knowing ones say
that this is bound to result in higher
prices, especially as the present crop
is bound to be very light.

Policeman William +. Britt; Police
man c.. w. Hardcman; Chief Of Detcc-
tives w u. Rtdd; Alf Stewart; Grow
er G.. Reid; j. II. Stanto' A. Evans;
l.. N. Blackstone.
Two negroes also are reported to
have been wounded. An unidentified
white woman is reported to have been
shot as she passed in an automobile.
The known wounded are those who
sought hospital treatment.
The trouble started when Smalley,
chauffeur for Dr.. w. w. Battey, one
of Augustas leading physicians, shot
Hightower, manager Of a local wagon
works. Hightowcr at the time was
with DR.. Battey who, following the
homicide called the police. After shoot
ing Hightower witnesses stated, the
negro sat on the curbng and fired
at every white person who passed.
When police arrived Smalley fired into
their automobiles, wounding Officers
Britt and Hardeman. He then fed to
Perry's Bottom, a negro settlement in
the neighborhood, and after being
wounded, reloaded his gun and shot
Policeman Moore, killing him instant
ly. A few seconds later the negro was
practically riddlcd with bullets.
Reports of the affray spread rapidly
and before Smallcy was killed many
heavily armed white men had gath
cred. Several negroes IN the neighbor-
hood were threatened with violence
and fled only to be captured. Cries Of
"lynch 'enl' were echoed by the crowd
but police reserves reached the scene
in time to prevent any general trouble.
City police and county officers quickly
dispersed the crowds in the vicinity of
the affray but for several hours talk
of revenge was ripe. Several times
demonstrations were made against
negroes but authorities interviewed in
time to prevent serious trouble
The entire police force is on duty
and is prepared to cope with any
emergency.
Five negroes are being held by the
police for investigation.

We the employees Of the Summer
ton PoSt Office desire to put ON record
our appreciation Of our late associate
in the office, A. Gordon Chewing.
Gordon Chcwning had been an en-
Dloycc as carrier in the Office for about
thirteen years, and as the senior in
point of service was respected and
loo ked up to by all the others. Quiet
and undcmonstrativc, orderly and
neat in his work, he has faithfully
day by day been at his appointed
place.
Stricken mortally while still on
duty, he virtually fell at his post.
Dying as it were with his boots on,
or as the old armorcd knight in his
harness. We know that he died in the
full confidence of his government, and
that we have lost friend with whom
to work has been a pleasure. We feel
assured that up yonder the Recording
Angel has marked "satisfcd", "wcli
done, across his account in the Book
of Remembrance, and inscribed his
name in the Lambs Book Of Life.

not mean that there aas been wild

Commission, and almost S42,000O,000 in

ployees provided by Act OF Congress.
The balance remaining can be &C
counted for in large part by improve.

Secretary of War Weeks is a recon-

and it is urged that the size of the
institution be increased so as to ac-
conmodate $500. The academy can
now train only a third OF the officers

"IF WATER WON'T HURT 1T, WE
WON'T"

This slogan and the most modern
OF laundry equipment now installed
in the Santa Fe Electric Laundry are
fast convincing Santa Fe'ans that the
family washing and the choicest fab
RIGS car be cleaned far more convc,
niently, economically and with none
of the wear and tear of the old
fashioned washerwoman. The laundry
is now going on its eleventh year in
Santa Fe and is finally embedded as
one of its most progressive and use
full institutions.
The electric laundry as a means of
cleansing the family clothes, is here
II stay. Recent years the laundry
owners association obtained the Mel
Ion Institute of Scientific Research to
work out ways and means that would
thoroughly and sanitarily clean
clothes, and yet subject them to none
OF the harsh treatment in vogue by
hand methods. The results Of this
work can best be seen by a glance
at the methods used here in the San
ia Fe Laundry.
The clothes are not rubbed. They
are flushed through many cleansing
waters in a revolving washer. They
literally wash themselves, dropping
against each other gently and loosen
ing the dirt thereon. Thus all danger
OF broken buttons and frayed gar
ments is removed.
No harsh soaps are used. Nothing
but the sofest water and Ivory soap.
And hundreds of pleased customers
each day testify that at does the

The Artesia high school has ON
menced basketball practice after a
long rest since the football season
The coach was handicapped by be-
ing unable to secur a suitable build
ing for an indoor sport
However, practice has commenced
on the outdoor court with a vim and
many young agile athletes appear ev-
cry afternoon for a scrimmage on the
court.
Early season games have been post
iponed on account Of the lack OF an
indoor court. However, games are
being scheduled for the near future
with the other high schools of the
valley. Dexter, Roswell, Carlsbad
Hagerman, Lake Arthur, and Hope
are included. The season was very
successful last year as the locals lost
only to the Roswell quintette. Ros-
well is not as strong this season and
has already met defeat at the hands
OF Dexter high school boys.
The Artesia high school girls have
defeated the Dexter girls, who have
also defeated the Roswell lasses. Ros-
well high was the only team that de-
feated the girls last year. This plac-

100000 for the erection of a hospital
at Palo Alto, California, for the treat
'ment OF former soldiers suffering from
psychopathic ailments. There is al
ready a hospital on the site with a
capacity of $50 beds, but the new
facilities will bring an enlargement to
600 beds. This is an indication of
the work that is going on all the time
for the betterment OF the condition
OF our disabled veterans. New hos
pitfalls cannot be erected in a week or
a month to house all veterans now
otherwise cared for, but it will be
only a short time before the best pos
Slble treatment will be within reach
of every man entitled Il it.
Attorney General Daugherty calls at
tention in his annual report to the
vast amount of foreign propaganda
that is being circulated in the United
States. He declares there are many
men carrying on work for the COM
unist party who are American citiz-
ems. but under orders from Moscow
as to what they shall do. Our pre-
sent law limits prosecutions for such
acts to aliens. He advocates the en-
actment OF a law that will permit
prosecution OF American citizens who
may be engaged in activities seeking
the overthrow OF the government.
Cheer up! Secretary Fall has been
on the job only nine months and has
