LOWNDESVILLE Happenings of a Week In and About the Seven-Hilled City?Personals. Lowndesvllle, April 4th, 1914. Several members of Mr. E. W. Harper's family and Miss Ellen Nickles started to Greenwood in an auto yesterday a week ago. Everything went on well till about eight miles were gone over, when every thing went wrong and they were brought to a standstill. Mr. Willie Broadwell was phoned for, and went and brought all back In safety. The next day Messrs. D. L. Barnes and E. W. Harper went over in the car of the former and hitched the broken car to the sound one and brought it here, where it was soon repaired. The last of last week, Maj. J. G. Huck abee went to Anderson, Greenville and an other place or two on business. Mr. J. W. McCalla wont over to GufTney last Sunday on important business. Mr. Jas. M. Baker, of Washington, D.C., came in last Sunday and spent several days looking afer some of his business in terests in and around this place. Mrs. Henry Carlisle was carried to the hospital at Anderson last Monday that she might undergo an operation forap penuicms. The first spring-like rain for the season came Monday evening ? rain, thunder, lightning andf wind. It hau since been learned that the cloud arose in Hart Coun ty, Ga., and that it was somewhat cyclonic over there, doing damage to trees, build ings, etc., but neither killing nor hurting anybody. It crossed the Savannah at the dam; not so severe there afi on the other side, excepting to give out a h eavy hail. It covered quite a large area, giving at least a sprinkling of hall as it went. Mrs. T. Baker and Mrs. I. H. McCalla went to Anderson Monday and did some shopping. Mr. Henry Harper, of Anderson, came down Wednesday morning ou the early freight, on some business.

Jaurez, Mexico, April 6.?Northern and central Mexico, it is said, are being thorou ghly cleared of Spanish residents by the constitutionalists. The latest news of whole sale expulsion of Spaniards was brought here by Gen. Eulalio Gutierrez, commander if rebel forces in the State of San Luis Postosi. "We have expelled every Spaniard from that part of the State which we control," said the gen. today, "and we control all of it except the capital and the city of Mate huhuila.

The vote of the House of Representa ;ives, 247 in favor of the tolls exemption repeal and 162 against it, transfers the re peal fight to the Senate, so far as the pre sent bill goes, and that of the representa tives to the primary elections for renoml lation, and to the final ballotlngs at the November elections* Those Democratic representatives who 3tood firmly by the tolls exemption plank 5f the Baltimore platform; who faithfully kept their own and the partle's pledge on this question to the people; who, in the face of strong official influences remained with those who stood opposed to conced ing tn anv foreicn countrv any ricrht to interfere with our domestic commerce? those representatives should and will re 2elve the thanks of the American people, irrespective of political affiliations. They will be recognized during their lives as men who were firm for principle, and who were not to be led or forced into betrayal of their constituents' instructions or the country's Interests or honor by either official blandishments or hopes for departmental favors. The promises and pledges of the Demo cratic party have been sustained by Speaker Clark, Oscar Underwood, Frank Doremus, and the scores of other sincere, honest, and fearless men who resisted all efforts to compel them to abandon the log ical and patriotic stand which the Demo cratic national convention took upon this question of tolls exemption. It was a most trying and responsible position in which they were placed by the unnecessary and ill-advised attempt to re verse the party's decree, and to force upon the party and the country a foreign claim for Interference with our domestic com merce. The records of Champ Clark, Oscar Un derwood, and their patriotic American fol lowers are richly emblazoned with good work done during their years of service for the Democratic party and for their country; but not one of their achieve ments will rank so high nor last so long in the hearts and memories of the people of the United States as this brave stand for the honor of their country, the rights of the republic, and for fidelity to their municipal oiucwrs lur me aliening joai iv? this town, only one of the four wardens was chosen, Mr. R.

The burning, scorching, blistering words of truth In which Hon. William J. Bryan and Hon. Robert Henry have characterized those who prove false to party platforms, political pledges to the people, promises to the voters, must have burned those who chose to follow an executive request rather than to abide by the party faith and preelection promises. They go now to face their constituents. They go to explain away their abandon ment of the Democratic creed; they may plead the request of the President; they may ask th'* support of the voters. Those voters no know the futility of instruc tions; the utter inadequacy of promises; the lack of value in platform declartlons. Those voters are Americans, jealous of their country's rights, and determined to maintain them. Next November will test the sentiment of the voters.?Anderson Daily Mail. Tbe Economic Side. President Wilson's statement that "ex emption constitutes a mistaken economic . policy from every point of view" was an swered conclusively and most emphati cally by Speaker Clark when he said: If so, is not our policy from the very beginning of shutting out of our coastwise trade also "a mistaken economic policy?" ( Do not our rules of charging foreign ves- : sels for warfage, dockage, pilotage, and 30 forth, while charging our own vessels ; ao fees or smaller fees, also constitute a [ 'mistaken economic policy," if the PresI- , lent is correct? In short, if he is correct, s not anything we can do to give our own seople any economic advantage whatso- ( 5ver in the race for commercial supre- 4 nacy "a mistaken economic policy?" Most 1 issuredly the "mistaken economic-policy" < reason of the President is untenable and S 'ades away before the stubborn facts of ] )ur history. ,-t ( Europe has taught us how mistaken .hat noiicv is bv building up her own mer- * ;hant marine, while we have been neglect ng ours. We have commercial treaties * vith all but a few of the large powers, .all 1 )f which have been subsidizing their own ^ ships,, while we have been keeping the one- ? tided bargain. t That the Democratic party at Baltimore I md in the House of Representatives meant \ o change this condition was indicated vhen the House passed the 5 per cent re sate clause, -.establishing the differential e n favor of goods imported in American 1 lottoms. But this tariff clause, which ^ rould have aided American shipping, was 1 leld to be null and void when the foreign towers protested. Not a single world power has so small a t aerchant marine as the United States. c ind they intend to keep us in this weak j, losltion if they can do it. How long will re continue to submit to the domination f Europe with reference to the manage- a lent of our own commerce? We have ^ pened our markets to the world by the n ecent tariff law, and still Europe Is not t atisfled.
