Exclusiveness of Style. There is a certain touch of exclusiveness to ' Q u e c n Quality shoes that sets them far and away above all others. They have a "high-priced look*' that gives the wearer distinction of dress. You might pay a lot more for your shoes and still not get that aristocratic Queen Qualitv appearance. C. W. & J. E.

April 4.-lt is es imated here that the rebels now have ?1 force of 4,500 men in pursuit of the Federal garrison which tied from Torre?n Thursday night. Fighting between the two forces at San Pedro was reported yesterday and the day before, hut nothing new on the subject was received to-day. Opinion that Gen. Villa intends to take every advantage of the defeat nf the Federals at Torreon was ex pressed here to-day. lt was based on intelligence officially announced last night that Villa had left sud denly for San Pedro to take charge of rebel troops reported to have par ticipated in an encounter with the fleeing federals. Departure from Torre?n prevented the promised telegraphic conference with Gen. Carranza. Torreon Occupied b* Villa. Torre?n, Mexico, April 3.-Villa's rebels to-day occupied Torre?n, from which Gen. Refugio Velasco and most of the uninjured of his com mand fled yesterday. Immediately the work of burning bodies of the dead, clearing away the wreckage of shell-shattered adobe walls, street barricades and barbed wire entangle ments was begun. Velasco escaped from the Canyon de Huarache with a considerable pro portion of his force. He was pur sued last night by Gen. Hernandez, who to-day reported that he had fought a small rear guard engage ment with the retreating force, and later Gen. Villa with reinforcements Wt here to make an attempt to cap ture or annihilate it. Non-combatants here with whom the Associated Press correspondent talked to-day estimated Velasco's gan Ison did not number more than 5.000 men, of whom 1,500 were killed or wounded. lt is said here that Velasco's re treat was brought about by his losses In the rebels' night assaults and indications that bis soldiers, worn-out by the prolonged fighting and fearful of the cruelties which they were told Villa practiced on the wounded prisoners, were on he verge of mutiny. In house to house lighting rebels and Federals frequently came within talking distance of each other, and-' in some instances got on such friend ly terms that they ceased firing en tirely. In most of these cases the Federals were persuaded to remain when Velasco retreated and then be enorlled under the rebel banner. At least a fortnight, an t probably a longer period, will bo required to reorganize the army before the ex pected campaign against Saltillo and Monterey can be made.

Remember my prophecy of last week: "The boy who beats Willie Austin will got the cup." Seneca was well represented at thc Clemson-Brskine base ball game last Saturday at Clemson. Piedmont Presbytery meets to-day with the First church at Anderson. W. R. Davis will represent the Seneca Presb.\ it flan ehurch. The Once-a-Week Club will meet this week with Mrs. George Shelor. This hoing the season when the house keeper ls up against the dread "spring cleaning," I am tempted to suggest to our new city official/, that a clean-up day be set apart for our town. I do not believe anything could give a more effectual uplift to our town just now than a proclama tion from our mayor, setting apart a day ror cleaning up premises, both prlvnte and public. I'hope the new mayor will credit this suggestion to real interest and not to a spirit of meddling. Thlg Is a measure In which everybody can co-operate, and in which there lies not only the health and welfare of our people, but. of the looks of the town as woll. YOUNG LADIES DROWN IN PONI>. Bisters Moot Tragic Rmi-Their Bro ther Miraculously Escapes. Lexington, April 4..Misses Jessie and Flossie Clout, aged 20 and 1(5 years, respectively! lost their Uvos In Taylor's mill pond, about tr? milos south of lexington, at 2 o'clock this afternoon when the mulo thoy wero driving made a wild dash Into the pond while they were crossing the dam lOI/.le Crout, a brother of the young ladies, aged about 12 or 13, who was In the buggy at tho time of the accident, barely escaped! with his life, he having managed to get to the bank. His escape i., said to have bren almost miraculous. The accident happened almost within sight of the home of the young, women, as they were returning froiu Swansea, whore they went yesterday to visit relativos. There were no witnesses to thc accident. Tho home of AzarluB Taylor is almost within a stone's throw or the pond where the young women wore drowned. Mrs. i Taylor and her little daughter, the only members of the family at homo, at the time, were attracted by tho girls' screams. They were unable to lend assistance and tho lad, too young to aid his sisters, struggled In the water in an effort to save his own life. The mule swam to the op posite shore after he had managed to get loose from the buggy. lt was possibly half an hour be fore the men near by reached the scene and lt was nu hour before tho bodies of the young women were re covered. The older girl, Miss .Tessie Crout, was still In the buggy io a sitting posture. Miss Flossie Crout was rescued from beneath the buggy. The water whore the young women lost their lives was about eight feet deep. Flzie, tho little boy, says that, he saw his sisters rise two or three times, btu ho was unable to give them aid. The accident has shocked tho,en tire community aa nothing has allock ed the people In years. The young: women were populur in the commu nity and their sudden and untimely end Is a great shock to their family and friends. They were daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Crout, ono of the oldest and most highly es teemed families of the Pond Branch section. Besides their parents tho young ladles* aro suAlved by nev brother? and sisters. DOESN'T HOM) I HANK INNOCENT Hol lis, However, Hays His Investiga-. Hon Will Justify New Trial.
