Washington, August 6.-President I WllBon today sent the following letter | to Secretaries Garrison and Daniels: "I write to suggest that you request | and advise all officers of the service, whether active or retired to refrain from public comment of any kind upon tho military or political situation on the other stde of the water. I would be obligea ir you would let them know that th? request and advice comes from me. U seems, to me highly un wise and Improper that offlcera of the J navy and army of the United States should make any public utterances to| which any color of political or mili tary criticism can be given where oth er nations are involved." PLANS UNCHANGED Official Word Has Not Reached. Car?] raei Concerning Surrender. (By ?isoctated Pross.) Saltillo, Mes.. August 6.-if Presl* dent Carbajal has agreed to uncondi tionally, surrender Mexico, official word of this has not reached Carran* ?aa, and there haa been, no change in plans to march constitutionalist troops to Mexico City. * ELECTRIC ern * _ .Y- Items of Interest and Persona * Wireless on the Sb Major Korney In the City. Major lt. L. Korney, commandant of I Tlio New Mexico Military Institute, located at lion well, X. M., lu In thc city for a visit to his parents. Mr. Korney tell? some Interesting tale? about .New Mexico ac?} 3uyp that thc country there ls now in more prosperous shape than lt has been for years. Ile says I that he was in Santa Ke on July (> when a blinding snow storm was rag ing. Speaking of Anderson's wonder ful growth, Major Korney says that he did not know the town when he got herc and that lt has grown more dur ing the lust year than lt had done for tho five years preceding. Ho will bc in the city for the remainder of the summer. Outlook Seems Some Brighter. That things arc never as black as they are painted has long ago been learned by Anderson people but it is now becoming evident that Anderson people have been too pessimistic over the outlook for thc business of this country during thc foreign wars. The following tolegram was received yes terday by Capt. P. K. McCully from Johnston, Storms & Company, one of the biggest cotton firms in the United States: "A telegrum from Paris says 'general opinion Is that the game is up with Germany. Do not sell anything.' " This is taken to indicate that the bust, ness conditions will soon be normal again, i pair Plans Are Now Materialising'. Relieving that tho Interests control ling the Southern Public Utilities com. pany and the Piedmont & Northern lines, can bo Induced to take some stock In the venture, the Anderson chamber ot commerce ls rapidly, per-, : footing plans for holding a county, fair In this county. Of course such an undertaking cannot be pushed to suc cessful conclusion without the aid of Anderson's public, as well as outside assistance, but Secretary Whaley says that he knows Anderson people well enough to know that they will do their share if the outside money can be se cured. Nothing definite can be an nounced yet but lt is beginning to ap-1 pear that Anderson viii at last has jj one county fair at I oast. o Play Good durne Next Saturday. If the baseball fans of Anderson really want to seo some classy ball, they should go to tho park Saturday afternoon and witness tho gar-ip be tween Bregon and Cluck. The Brogon team has the largest player in the league, who weighs Just 236 pounds, and this samo fat player knocked a homo run oh the Cluck mill- diamond last Saturday, and says he can do it again. It is well worth the price to see the. fat boy run. Then another feature of - Brogon'a team Is Blalock, who weighs about 120 pounds, and who walked three men and struck out three men in succession In the last game he pitched. It these teama get the support that they desorvo there will be a goodly crowd at the park to seo next Saturday's game. o Now Estimating Number of Changes. Much speculation Is heard around town pver the probable changes to be made in the officers employed by the city ot Andorson after the new city council goes into office. This same speculation waa hoard immediately af ter the. new council an j the.now may or were elected but lt has died down] until now, when the new "city fath ers" are about to take their seats, th? I conjectures have been doubled. That] several changes aro to be made 1B al ready definitely known, bnt aa to how| many moro will follow ls purely matter for speculation as the members I of the. new etty council do not,seem| willing to discuss the matter. O' Last Chance for Attending Event Today is the last chance that Ander son people will have to attend tho farmers' chautauqua, which has been In session at .Wllliamston for the last two days. The people in charge cf the affair have issued a statement tn which they Bay that tho chautauqua has been a far greater success tuan was anticipated and they urge every Anderson county farmer to attend,the exorcises to bo held today-the closing day .ot tho meeting. Those, who have been to Wllliamston during the' first two days ot the chautauqua say that po one -can regret tho trip after mak ing lt/ Belton Visitor , Remembered Here.

When all other conrees of Informa-1 Hon on any stib'ect fail lind the ne wa-! paper men of Anderson almost give up hope of finding any new?, they turn their steps toward thc court house and are usually rewarded by finding a few Btray Items, but even that place has I failed. Heretofore the court house I has been a regular clearing house for political news and views for thc threshing out of arguments, but since the beginning of the picnics the poli ticians have taken to the country with their arguments and are waging tho ! battle for votes. Opening Gun Fired Tomorrow. Doubtless if the people living In ! other sections of the state knew what flights of oratory will be heard to morrow, they would all secure trans- j portation on the first sea-going tug for ( Honca Path. The opening gun in the Anderson county campaign will be fired in that city tomorrow and for several hours the voters of that city will have to hear the numerous can didates explain why there is only one man in the race flt to hold the office. There will probably be a large at tendance and it is said that a number! ot Anderson people are to make the' trip. -o Most Popular Place In Town. Just at Ute present time The Intel!?- j Kencer office is about the most popu lar place in the city.1 This fact ls due! to tho war situation and since the | public has learned that The Intelli gencer is posting the Important bulle tins there are but few people'in (ho city who have not paid a visit to this office for a minute or two each day. As soon as the bulletin-is received, through the extraordinary service of the" Associated .Pre?a? they are postea In the windows of the office. Tho general public seems, to appreciate thia service.

From the steel trade came reports pf higher prices and e more active in quiry. The war created a wall more effective than- any tariff ' In keeping out foroign steel. The distribution of emergency cur- > rency to New York banks continued, but the banks mado no urgent de mands and the monoy went out slow ly. > Egorts were made today at a meet ing of the bankers and bond' dealers to stop outside dealings in .bonds during the period ot stock exchange .sus pension.
