* GENERAL SALAZAR I ARRESTED IN U. S. * i TAKEN OFF TRAIN WHILE EN ROUTE TO JOIN THE FEDERAL GARRISON. IS SEVENTH IN CUSTODY Faces Charge of Conspiracy to Smug gle Arms and Ammunition Into Mex ico?No Officers Were Killed at Ojinaga. , Presidio, Texas.?Efforts of the bor der authorities to round up the Mexi can Federal generals who fled from Ojinaga, Mexico, before the rebels re sulted in the arrest at Sanderson of Gen. Jose Ynez Salazar, who was tak en from a train while en rout^ to join the Federal garrison in Mexico oppo site Eagle Pass, Texas. Salazar is the seventh Mexican gen eral to come into the custody of the United States authorities. The others are Generals Mercado, Castro, Landa, Orphinal, Aduana and Romero. Three others are still missing but are be? lieved to be hiding in Texas. They are Generals Pascual Orozoco, Mar cello Caravao and Antonio Rojas. Salarzar who achieved distinction through his rams on tne mormon cuiu nies in Northern ^lexico is wanted at Sante Fe. N. M., where he was indict ed on charges of conspiracy to smug gle arms and ammunition into Mexico. He was arrested in El Paso, hut forfeited his bond. Orozco also is un der indictment, but never was ar rested. - Salazar was playing cards in the train when captured. He at once ad mitted his identity and was taken to Marfa to be put under bond for his appearance in Sante Fe. The military authorities, however, prepared to re arrest him and removed him to El Paso with the other Federal soldiers and generals who escaped to this country. The capture of Salazar convinced the border patrol that Orozco and Pamttaa T\Aooiklv urUVl Mhor Onl/llDrC vai a v at pvooiui/ tt ivu wuv* uv4v?>w*w and officers were hiding in Texas. Sal azara at first jokingly said he thought Orozco had been killed at Ojinaga but later he admitted that all the generals had escaped. It appeared that Salazar and Oroz to with a small command, after escap ing from Ojinaga, rode eastward along the Rio Grande to a point on the bor der near Sanderson, where the railroad is not so far inland. In the meantime a fictitious message had been sent' to Mexico City that the Federal volun. teer generals were in the state of Coa hulla, en route to San Luis Potosi. The Mexican refugees being taken to El Paso as wards of the American government had reached Shafter 22 miles from the border. Suffragettes Invade South.

Y.?Experiments made on goats in the College of Medicine at Cornell University may eventually lead to an increase in the supply of milk and thereby reduce prices. Ac cording to R. P. Hill, a graduate stu dent at Cornell, a goat has been made to give milk of twice the quantity and five times richer in cream through the injection of a recently discovered ser um under the skin or into a large blood vessel of the animal. Whether the same process will give results when applied to cows is not known. Evacuation Work on Canal.

As the worfc of rescue progressed the seas subsid' ed and no mishap marred the triumph over the waves. Captain McK,innon of the Westport found the liner on Trinity lodge in the afternoon. At the time there was a high wind and rough sea. He took off in three lifeboat loads seventy-twc persons, including all passengers, the purser, several deck officers and part of the crew. The Westport stood by until the John L. Cann came up. The latter took off twenty-four men as the West port was leaving for Yarmouth. The 108 persons on the Cobequid in cluded twelve first cabin passengers and an equal number in the second class. Mrs. W. C. Zoller and her child were the first to go over the side.

The Anti-Trust Experts Are at Work in Both Houses?A Period of Great Activity Begun. Washington.?Congress settled down to its long regular session after a recess dating from the passage of the currency bill just before Christmas. The coming administratin anti-trust legislation loomed up as the big busi ness of the winter; but with the pros pect of waiting until the president's message both houses turned actively to other matters. , In the house return to work was celebrated by prompt passage of the first of Jthe annual supply measures, tha* TUntrW nf nrvlnmhia annronriation bill, and the Introduction of the usUal opening day batch of miscellaneous measures. The senate began debate on the Alaskan government railroad bill. j Anti-trust experts In both houses began a period of extraordinary activ ity, to end when the anti-trust pro gram is written into law before the close of the session. Chairman Clayton and Representa tives Caflin and Floyd of the house committee, are reviewing the long list of anti-trust measures already before the committee. It is not probable that any of these bills will be accepted as a part of the administration plan, but all the ideas embodied in them* will be considered.

Tokio, Japan.?A series of 350 slight earthquakes shook the town og Kago shima at the southern end of the Island of Kiushlu. They were followed by the eruption of a volcano on Sakura, a small island in the Gulf or Kagoshl ma, where two Villages were buried in ashes. The earthquakes continue incessantly and the work of rescuing the inhabi tants of Sakura by boats across the in tervening three miles of water from Kagoshima is extremely difficult. Warships have been dispatched to Kagoshima with doctors and supplies. Railroad and telegraph lines are now broken. The town of Kagoshima is in great danger, according to the latest reports. Earth shocks and violent volcanic eruptions continue. Inhabitants are fleeing for their lives. The popuia tion of the Island of Sakura is about 15,000, and It is impossible to estimate the casualties. It is feared many have perished. (Trust in God, Says Marshall. Washington.?Infidelity and discus sion from the pulpit of the latest bits of scandal were scored by Vice Pres ident Marshall, ip an address to the Woman's Missionary Society here. He declared he would rather have the American people bow down before an image than acknowledge no God at all, adding that if the republic is to en dure "We must go back and place our faith in God." "What this country needs," said the vice president, "is not laws, police nor large armies. It needs men with backbone." Sfteking for Gold, Men Beat Woman. Baltimore, Md.?After dragging a dying woman 88 years old from her bed and tying her to a chair and then beating into insensibility her 60-year old son, who went to her rescue, two masked men ransacked the home of Charles Kiinmel at Middle River, near Baltimore, in search of a quantity of gold reputed to be hidden in the nouse.

BAYONETS 10 RULE IN SOUTH AFRICA GOVERNMENT MEETS GENERAL STRIKE ORDER BY DECLAR ING MARTIAL LAW. * SITUATION JS VERY GRAVE Feeling Is Very Bitter Throughout the Country?Natives Are Feared. Cape Town, Union of South Africa.? A general strike throughout South Af rica was proclaimed by the Trades Federation, and the Rand miners, by a two-thirds majority, voted to join in the movement. Governmental retal iation was swift In the form of the proclamation of martial law. This was the only step the authori ties believed adequate to meet the sit uation, for the strike of the miners means not only the turning loose of the most turbulent spirits in the Rand, but raises the whole question of the position of the native workers. If the miners actually obey the strike order, the government will immediately take steps to send the natives, under es cort, back to their kraals. This means that about two hundred thousand natives must be marched back by road to their homes at enor mous cost. It will be most difficult, after the end of the strike, to recruit them again. In brief, such a step would mean disaster for the Rand for many years. Although official reports from the city of Johannesburg show improve ment in the train service, reports from other districts are less encouraging. In Natal the situation Is one of great tension, and it is feared that the loy altv of the trainmen will not stand the strain much longer. An instance of the men's temper is shown by the ac tion of an engine driver who,quit his train on the Veldt and left the passen gers stranded. Practically no information is at hand, as to conditions in the Orange Free States, but improvement there is not considered probable. HUERTA DEFAULTS ON DEBT Dictator Announces No interest Will Be Paid on Debts. Mexico City.?After a meeteing of the cabinet, whifth lasted all night, the Mexican foreign minister, Querido Me heno, announced that the Mexican gov ernment will default in the payment of all interest on the bonds of the internal and external debts, which now remains unpaid or which falls due with, in the next six months. A heavy pay ment of interest on the foreign debt becomes due in April. Tt has been the Dractice of the eov ernment to make weekly remittances to New York, London and Paris to ap ply on its interest obligations, in or der that when the interest payment periods arrived the money would be in hand. These weekly remittances now have been suspended, the explana tion being that the government re quires all available funds for pacifi cation purposes. v Not Moral Turpitude to Libel King. New York.?If it would not involve a moral turpitude to publish ^in Eng land a defamatory libel "against a field laborer in Devon or a street sweeper in London," it would not In volve moral turpitude to publish the same libel "regarding the lord chan cellor, or even the king," the United States court of appeals held. The court expressed this view in deciding that Edward F. Mylius, whom the de partment of commerce ordered deport ed, cannot be barred from the United States on the charge of moral turpi* tude.

HISS PARROTT OF STATE DE PARTMENT T.ELLS OF THiS BRANCH OF ACTIVITY. ( MISS LECHNER MAKES GOOD > \ Florence Girl In Beaufort County Is Mal/inn 3 Make Ef fort to Make Enough Canned Goods to Supply Colleges. Florence.?Miss Edith Parrott, who is in charge of the girls'"work in the state for the department of agricul ture, spent one day recently in the cky in conference with Miss Bertha Lechner, who is in charge in Beau fort, and others who are interested In the work. Miss Parrott says that great things are planned for the work among the girls this year and that the growth of the work has been most gratifying to. those whose hearts and hands are united in it Miss Bertha Lechner is a Florence jirl who is making good in the work in the seagirt county of Beaufort, and she Is delignad with the success she has had and the\ interest that the people of that county,have shown in it, and the kindness that they have shown to her since she has been among them. > Miss Parrott says that there will be 20 counties included in the work this year, as against 16 last year. Last year some counties were so anxious for the literature and the su pervision-of the government agents that they paid the whole amount themselves after the government ap propriation had been exhausted. This was most gratifying to her, showing the interest that the people took in it from a practical standpoint. The great thing that is to be added 'to the work of the girls this year will be poultry raising. This branch of industry has been in view ever since the work was undertaken, but the tomato canning had to be made a suc cess first Now the department is ready to go into the chicken btisinesG with the girls on the farms and in the schools, and the high price of poul try will prompt them all to get in line for th6 chickens. The first idea will be to make enough for the people at home. There must be eggs and chickens for' the folk at home, but after that the mkrket will, be sup 11 _ J J ?111 lJ_ -M pnt!U, ituu 1UU1&CUU5 rr xi* the features of the game. Another line of activity will be the standardizing of the girls' products. They varied t,oo much last year, and now they are to be taught the second lesson, that of standardization so that the consumer will know just whatjhe is getting and the girls will strive for better things and higher grades. The girls did not make enough canned goods to supply the demands of Winthrop and Clemson, which en gaged the entire output of the state. This year Miss Parrott hopes to bq able to supply a very lively outside demand for the girls1 goods, after stocking the pantries at the state in stitutions of learning. Miss Parrott is very much^pleased that Secretary Houston has asked es pecially. for a detailed report of the work in South Carolina for his office, indicating that he has been much pleased with results bete.

The recipts from the fertilizer tax amounted to $240,448.43. The total fund for 1912 was $221,999.68, which shows that the farmers used about 80,000 tons more fertilizer in 1913 than the previous year. Commission Government. Rock Hill.?At an enthusiastic meet ing, held recently the Chamber of Commerce rooms, on the new Jorm of government, a motion was passed in dorsing commission government and asking Representative Hutchison to have RocS Hill stricken from exemp tion in the general commission gov ernment bill passed by the legislature a few years ago.

With both the Bank of Florence and the First National erecting skyscrapers Flor ence will have some skyline. The bank also determined to inccgase its capital stock to $250,000, and its- suc cess will insure the ready raising oJ that sum. Vote $12,000 Bond. Ridge Spring.?At an election held a few days ago the electors of Ridge Spring voted $12,000 worth of bonds for the purpose of building a new school house. The vote was 41 for and 20 against bonds. The old build ing now in use was built nearly 30 years ago and is, of course, far be hind the times. The school now has the largest enrollment that it has had in years. The town is not only pro gressive in school affairs, but also moving forward in financial and other lines. Cotton in Darlington. Darlington.?Coxton has not stop ped coming in on the Darlington mar ket. J. P. Kirven, a large planter, brought to town recently 16 wagons, carrying between 50 and 60 bales. The county is short in the amount of cot ton made, but the higher prices have helped very much toward evening up. The tobacco crop this year was a large one, and the prices unprecedent edly high, and the condition of the farmer at this time in the county is largely due to this early summer crop of tobacco. f THICK, GLOSSY HAIR FREE FROM DANDRUFF Girls!
