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.

(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

A dispatch from Charlotte, N. C.,
says an eventful oureer ended Monday
afternoon with the death at the
Rowan County Home of Charles A.

to accompany them that Proctor

at all in Augusta.
Alexin and Proctor met Cronager
earlier in the evening as ho was gong
up McKinne street toward the

.THE NEW FERTILIZER.
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.
