FROM PRINCE TO PAUPER.
Present Condition of Mexico's *orv
mer Cattle King.
L - V _
ilk
/ Each morning at-sunrise, says an
El Pasd correspondent, an old man j
with silver white hair and a snowy j
heard may be seen walking around
the plaza taking his daily exercise
with his two body guards.
He is Gen. Luis Terrazas, octogenarian
exile from Mexico, who lost virtually
all his great fortune to the revolution
of Madero and Villa. When
the Madero revolution started'* in
; 1911 "Don Luis" was known as the
cattle king of Mexico. His herds
numbered more thala 200,000 and
\ , grazed on a thousand hills and plains
*ot northern Mexico. His estates
S stretched from the Rio Grande to
r?Mhnofiiia Mtv ?nd Vie could ride for
twenty-four hours by train over his
own acres, which then ' numbered
more than a million.
From his offices in the State capital,
Gen. Terrazas governed this vast
\ - ?
cattle empire, conducted a bank and
many other industries connected with
his cattle business. He and his large
\
family lived in luxury in the marble
palace on the Alamada or at Quinta
Carolina, his summer home on the
fi/ - plains at the border from the Terrazas
ranches.
^ His annual export averaged &5,000
head, and the "T-Running-S" brand
was as well known at the Chicago,
Kansas City and Fort Worth stock
v v yards as it was in Mexico. The Terrazas
holdings were estimated to be
worth $5*,000,000 (gold) but were
not for sale, at any pgce.
Now Gen. Terrazas and his family
live in a rented house on Golden Hill, i
He rides to his office in an old auto- j
mobile and buys his groceries from j
a casu-a.uu-ua.ri jr siuic.
Ttie revolutionists under Madero,
Orozco and other leaders killed the
Terrazas cattle for food, burned his
ranch buldings and looted his stores
and warehouses. Then Francisco Villa
acting as commander in the north
for Gen. Carranza, issued a decree
confiscating alj of the Terrazas holdings,
including the herds, lands and
personal property. Gen. Terrazas
was forced to flee from Mexico be
fore Villa's advance on Chihuahua
City from Juarez. He made the long
trek to the border at Ojinaga with
the fleeing federal column. He never
returned to Mexico. j
July 22 last, Gen. Terrazas celebrated
his eighty-ninth birthday an
niversary, surrounded by his ten
sons, seventy-five grandchildren and
many more relatives. He maintains
an office downtown, where he attends
to his private business daily
and market conditions.
It is his dream to be permitted to
return to his native land with sufficient
guarantees to allow him to begin
over again to reestablish the Terrazas
fortune.

Some Big Potatoes.
Bamberg county has always been
celebrated for its sweet potatoes, and
-it seems that she has not lost her
prestige, even if the whole world is
enveloped in war. Last week The
Herald received a couple of "samples"
which bear out our assertion
that the county still delivers the
goods.
Mr. Q. H. Sandifer, who farms
near the city, holds the record so far.
He brought in a couple of tubers of '
monster proportions. One weighed* '
six pounds and the other tipped the '
scales at 7 1-2 pounds. Mr. Sandifer
says he gathered 270 bushels from

not farmers and don't profess to be,
but to a lay mind this appears to '
have cotton "skinned a mile" even j
when it is worth thirty cents. The
potatoes are of the Porto Rico variety.
1
Mr. A. J. 'Hunter also brought in
some fine specimens. One weighed "
three and a half pounds and the other
weighed five one-half pounds.
These are Triumph potatoes and* especially
fine, smooth tubers. Mr.
Hunter says he also has prospects of <
a fine crop this year, though he thinks i
the dry weather cut off his yield <
somewhat. i

Don't Sell at Present Prices.
Washington, Oct. 30.?Cotton
growers were urged not to sell their
product at the present prices, in telegrams
sent out*today by the Cotton
States Official Advisory Marketing
Board to commissioners and presidents
of farmers' unions throughout
the South..
"The insidious work of the price
fixing propagandists," said the tele-,
grams, "which was started more than |
a year ago and which was vigorously i
renewed when the war industries
board announced that it was about
to assume control of the cotton sit- J
uation, is having its effect. They:
bave tried to have the price fixed
at 20 cents and failing this they are
now trying to break the market to
tbout that level. It is now a question
whether the cotton farmers or the insidious
interests fighting cotton will
win. The farmers can win by refuse
ing to sell at these prices."
