NAY MEAN WAR ? ? Tn Americans Captured and Excelled * by the Nicaraguans. ?.? TWO WAR SHIPS ARE SENT * President Taft Greatly Incensed on If oaring the News, and I>eclin?s to Have Any Communication With the Now Nicarnguan Minister, Who fliBt Keaclied Washington. K Washington dispatch says two American war ships have been ordered to proceed to Nicnraguan wators, and President Taft has postponed indefinitely his meeting of Isidore Itaxcra, the new minister from Nicaragua to this country, as the result of news received here to the effect that two Americans, Leonard Grace rad Leltoy Cannon, captured while serving with the revolutionists' army in Nicaragua, have been sentenced to death by President Zelaya's orders, and it is believed that sentence has already been carried out. Orders have been issued for the cruiser Vicksburg to proceed in all bMto to Corinlo, and the gunboat DesMoities will proceed at ouco to Port Limon to observe events there and report the situation nt that point by wireless. The news as to the two A.moricans reached the State department Thursday night from the American Consul at Managua, who stated that their capture had been followed almost immediately by a death HOntence. A dispatch received Friday at the Htate department is to the effect that the men have undoubtedly been executed. Upon this information the Secretary of State asked the Sec. of the Navy to order the Vicksburg to proceed in hn nasie 10 uormio lor the purposo of protecting Americans Md American interests. The I)esMoi nes was also ordered to proceed 10 Fort Union at top speed for the name purposo. These vessels will ho in constant Qommunicatjion by wireless with the State department. Tho brutality of the Nicaraugan Qovernraent in ordering the execution of these two Americans, who happened to be found in the revolutionists army without trial of any sort, is likely to result in this (iovfirnment taking drastic measures to prevent a repetition of It, and President Zelaya will bo held to a strict accountability {ftr his action. At the Nlca raguan legation it was stated that no news of the execution of the two Americans had been received. Nothing is known at the Stale department of the antecedents of Leonard Grace, who is reported to have heen shot by order of President Zelaya, but the other American, LoRoy Cannon, seems to have had an unusual career in Central America. &ome years ago ho went to Contral America and Hinco then his namo has ftgurod prominently in revolutions in those countries. During his career he has been arrested a number of times and tried for heading raids and on several occasions has narcowly oscaped a death sentence, it hi alleged. A dispatch from Panama says passengers arriving thoro from Nicaragua Thursday report that a reign Of terror exists throughout the portion of that country controlled by President Zelaya. Government troops re rounding up every persons suspected of sympathy with the revolutionists and executing them without trial. More than five hundred men Mspectcd of revolutionary sympathies have been summarily shot and fctill the bloody work continues. Residences are ransacked by Zelaya's soldiers in search of incriminating letters or evidence, and when resistance is offered the houses are destroyed. Women relatives of revolutionary sympathizers have been subjected to the most horrible indignatles and outrages. Nicnraguan refugees, arriving on the Isthmus and in Costa Rica declare it is time for the civilised powers to forcibly intervene aad put an end ta such barharltios and atrosities.

( IIKKAK8 TI1K KKCOKD. \ t (Cotton Hxports This Year Larger t f Than Kver Iloforc. r A Washington dispatch says cot- J ton exports last month exceeded in value those of any earlier month t in the history of the cotton trade of { tho United States. The total value * of cotton exported in the month of j October, 1999, was, according to the N latest reports of the bureau of sta- a tistics of tho department of com- y] merce and labor, $88,883,360, wliile f no other month ever reached the i eighty million dollar line in the val- c ue of cotton sent out of the country. Tho value of the cotton ex- 1 jjorls for tho ton months ending 1 with October, 1909, was $328,626,- t 886, against $316,693,266 in the cor- t responding period of 1907, the high- t est record ever attained for a like c period. l TIiIh hlphoct rnrv\rrl i\f vnlnn nf I cotton exports, mad? by the month \ of October and by the 10 months t ending with October, 1909, suggests t thAt the value of cotton exported in t the year of 1909 may probably ex- t ceed that of any earlier year in the i history of tho export trade. Should tho figures for November and December equal those of October, the total value of cotton export would cross , the $600,0e?,000 lino. This high water mark in tho value of cotton exported is the result of the combination of largo quantities and high prices. * J I THH WAGKK OF SIN. I Onoo Prominent Jersey!to Died in ' a Poor House. i A dispatch from Charlotte, N. C., says an eventful oureer ended Monday afternoon with the death at the Rowan County Home of Charles A. Comer, a former member of the New Jersey Legislature and once prominent in that State. Several years ago he left his wife and came to Spencer, N. O., with a woman whom he claimed was his wife. This woman later became Insane and died in tho State hospital. Gomer brooded over her death and soon became a wreck himself, losing his eyesight. Ilefore his death ho confessed that the woman with whom he lived at Salisbury was not bis wife. Fiends Awful Crime. At Staunton, Va., a true bill was found by tho special grand jury agaist Clifton Bockenrldge, tho negro charged with repeated assaults on the sla-year-old granddaughter of G. A.

AN UNUSUAL ROBBERY Two White* Youths in Augusta Lure a Man From tlio Country to ti Graveyard, After Filling Him Witli Iloozo, Then Knock llim l>o\vn and ltob Him. The Augusta Chronicle says In the ghostly shadows of the City Ceinei>rv with thi* Kllont tr?n?n?at?-??..u n. ? , V .. v Will UUV^/UVO it? nanlmate witnesses, two young boys P. J. Proctor mul K. Alexin, set upoi I. W. Cronager, a North Caroline mountaineer Friday night; and, having knocked him unconscious, ant robbed him of his purse with lti small store of savings, the two whoir L'ven the sacred city of the dead did not deter from brutal violence sought to escape arrest by scaling the high brick wall, leaving the stun ned man alone beside the graves. The pretext on which the two rob tiers Induced tho mountaineer, whoss. brain was befuddled with whiskey to go with them to tho cemetery makes the subsequent assault ever more brutal, for they begged him to accompany them that Proctor might gaze once more "upon the grave of his dear mother who lav buried there." Proctor has no relatives at all in Augusta. Alexin and Proctor met Cronager earlier in the evening as ho was gong up McKinne street toward the S'orth Augusta Bridge. They accostMi him, invited him to "have a lrink," and the one drink became many, until Cronager was no longer reenly alive to the unseemliness of he hour, for a visit to the grave of my relative, however beloved. lie igreed to accompany them. On caching the cemetery, after the three lad wept a few crocodile tears, the wo modern highwaymen knocked I-ronager down and stole his purse. The watchman at tho rcmetnrv lowever, had soon the men enter ho cemetery, and was sus]>4cioua of honi, so he sent to police barracks or assistance, and the officers arived in time to nab one of the mthotically grieved highwaymen as ie departed hastily from the "grave >f his dear mother," and took him o the police station where he was juestioned as to who his partner vas. Ho finally said that he did lot know his name but that he was mm Atlanta and had been staying vith him for several days. Lieutenint Hritt then went out to Alexia's house, and feirrfcsttufc Proctor, and ill three men are now held at the larracks pending trial. Cronager letained as a witness. Alexin is an Augusta boy about S years old, and Proctor is al>out 9 years old, but though so young hey seem rather hardened. When hey were interrupted at the couieery a valise was found containing a iarpenter's apron, some nails, a neasuring tape and other tools, Cronager is about .15 years old. His >ocket book, which was dropped by he two men in their efforts to eelape, was returned to him. It confined about five dollars. Policenan J. A. Wllkins arrested Alexin it the cemetery. VERY SIMPLE REMEDY ^ For Tuberculosis It' it Proves to be Successful. A simple remedy for tuberculosis, find ono declared to be a sure cure Is announced by a Texas Methodlsl preacher, Rev. L. G. Grimes, of Copperas Cove. He is now living In thai little town with his second wife, hit first one having died with consumption. Shortly after the death of his firs' wife, he himself was strlckdn witt the wh te plague, and the disease de* veloped so rapidly that he was foroe< to give up his work. Ho had fto fluent hemorrhages from *he lungs and the only exercise ho could tak< was horseback riding. One day he rode over fo 'he black smith shop to have his horse shix and while the smith was dclug th< work he got on the forge to warm and accidentally inhale i vhe emoK< from the stone coal. It se^mid 1< give instant rellof, and he inhale* it for some tlmo. He returned home fooling better than ho had felt fo montho, and determined to continu' the experiment. ltev. Mr. Grime says that he nevor had another hem orrhage; that six treatments cure< him; and that ho has never had i symptom of consumption since. ^ H had a lady frlond who was in th last stages of consumption. Sh had given up all hopo and was con fined to her bod, which she neve expected to leave. Mr. Grimes tol< hor how he was cured, and as sh could sit up her husband had a lit tie furnace made, and with pipe cpnveyed the fumes of the stone coa into her lungs. Her physician for bade the treatment, but the hue band refused to desist and in a fe\ weeks the lady was able to leave he bed, and has never had a symptoi of the disease since. ' "v - .7 * ?

A discovery of far-reaching importance to the farmers of tho South is the new fertilizer which has been perfected on ono of the Islands near Charleston, S. C. It has long been known that lime io an essential food e ? - - - _ - ior piants or all kiml.s and that they cannot livo when it has been exhausted from the soil. It has also been known that old worn-out lands are extremely deficient in lime, and that ? sour, badly-drained lands have their lime is a for mthat is not usable by growing crops. Farmers' Bulletin No. 12 4, U. 8. Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All the applications of lime iucreased the yields * * The best yields were obtained with the lime in the form of carbonate, the finely ground oys- ^ ter shells standing first * * Lime with fertilizer was more profltablej^M than depending upon fcrtilizer^^B alone." This new fertilizer which presents lime in its most usable form Is made < by a new process of burning oyster ^ shells and using a burner that can supply potash. The result is a high grade fertilizer costing the consumer only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims worn-out lands in a marvelous manner if applied broadcast two month* ahead of aminoniated goods. It's sweetening effects on sour lands la almost magical. Charleston freight rates apply on ihls new fertilizer. The factory is located on Young's Island, S. C., but all letters should be addressed to K. L. Commins, Sales Agent, Meggetts, S. C. Free descriiv- ^ tive circulars will be sent to any one on request.
