State campaign meeting for Oconeo will be held al Walhalla next. Friday, Juno 23d. This is au oppor tunity ?lvon by the State. Democratic party lo tho Democratic voters that Ho v may see and hear all of the cu nd id li tes for o HI co. ll is a chance given to see and judge your future .servants. Unfortunately there have ot times been communities that have seemed lo misconstrue the object of these meetings, which have been turned into boisterous demonstra tions for some certain candidates, or riotous bowlings against some one or ttfo men. We are glad to say that no KU ch occurrence has ever taken place in Oconee, and we are not going to instill the voters ol' our county by admonishing against any such prac tice this year. Such admonition would he totally su|>erliuous in good old common-sense Oconee. Our hope is thal at no point in South Carolina will there bo cause to regret the coming of the candidates for the pur pose ol* meeting the people of the State If yon are interested -and you cer tainly should bo interested- in the matter of selecting public servants, come lo Walhalla, if you reasonably can, and see and hear the candidates next Friday. We hope that the meet ing will ho totally lacking in any un pleasant incident. ll there should tie such, let it come from the candi dates themselves, and let os judge them hy I heir words and acts. At all events, remember that Fri day ol' this week will offer you the opportunity of meeting the candi dates and hearing them speak of what they have accomplished in office or hope to accomplish if honored by the voters of the Slate. The campaign meetings this year for this section of UKI Slate have been set for earlier dales than is usual. lt is a busy season for Oconee farm ers and many aro,behind With their work. , We do not believe that neg lect of crops or business will bo an advantageous exchange for any one lo make for the benellts that may accrue from attending tho campaign meeting. If your business is in such snape as lo permit of your leaving it Vor the day. conni to Walhalla and hear what the candidates will have to say I; business demands your at tention al the time of the campaign ?neellng, stick lo your business. That is what we would do, and thal is what everybody else, wo think, ought to clo ll isn't so much whether we see ??d hear the candidatos at the ram /i.Vtgn meetings. We can study men and measures all during tlie year and know sulllclcnl at election time to vote intelligently, if we will bul fol low our conscientious judgment of men, and volo accordingly, wc will como mighty near voting right, even though vye may never have seen or heard them, lu this day of publicity there is little need of personal con tact to bring men into an almost inti mate acquaintance with each other. And especially is this true of men in puhlh life, either actively or pros pect ively. 'lake an effort to com?, to Wal halla Friday il you can reasonably sparc the tune, but don't neglect your farm or other business affairs to do so. At least that is the way we feel about it. and we think it is the common sense view to take. ARK VOU ON? We are informed thal, as a rule, the Democratic club rolls of the county are not being signed up rapidly, lt is true that the time is not so very ?hort before the closing of the list, but why put the matter off? You are going to want to cast your ballot when the election comes off, and now r>; tho time to put yourself in posi tion to vote. You won't bc able to iota if your name ls not properly on rtO'Red, and you have to do the enroll ing yourself If you can writo, and if von cannot wrilo, the act of enrolling .your name has to bo done not only in youl presence, but In the presence of wRitesses. Look after your own en rollment, and inquiro if your neigh Tors havo onrollod and registered. Jog their memories. Knch voter will havo to bo onrollod tn his voting precinct-that is, the voting place most convenient to him - that which would appear his natu ral voting place. You can't enroll at .several places In anticipation of tho possibility of hoing at some point other than your home box on elec tion day. Such practices were pos sible at ono lime, but they "don't go" now. Duplication of enroll ment moans no vote at all, for tho varlet'.* lists will he carefully gone over before the election, and all du plicate li?mes wiil be stricken off the lists. See that your name is on your home club roll. Tho fact that it was there two years ago doesn't assure you of voting this year. lt won't help you nt all. You have got to get your name on the 1 !> 1(5 club lolls, and you have got to put it there yourself. "Ar?' yon on?" lt' not. get busy. Seo your duh oillcers, who can give von any needed Information. Our old friend "Canslor, of Tir zah." has (lied his biennial pledge as a candidate for Railroad Commis sioner, "Uncle .lim" certainly pos sesses the principal quality of glue.

The county officers ol' the law are not idle these days liv any means. Aside from tho regular rout ino of other malters they are looking after tlie booze distributers willi a most commendable vigilance. Last Thurs day Rural Policeman Martin, ac companied hy Magistrate M a rot t's constable, Peck Mitchell, arrested Dud Ridley, near Harbin's siding, on i lie Southern between Madison and Westminster, confiscating ix gallons of corn whiskey, and Ridley's mule and buggy. Ridley waived prelimi nary hearing and made bond in the sum of $400 lor Iiis appearance at Sessions Court -$200 tor himself and .Vjnii for the privilege of keeping his mule in his possession. On the same day Rural Police man Thomas arrested one Lee Caley on a charge of having violated the ga)lon-a-month law. The records show that on June 12 and again on .lune I .'! daley received a gallon of liquor, getting one at the express of fice at Seneca and one al th" Courte nay station. Caley waived prelimi nary hearing and put up a cash bond of S100 for his appearance at Ses sions Court. About I o'clock last Sunday morn ing Mr. Tilomas and Town Marshal Corbett, of Seneca, gathered In two negro women and two negro mon near the home of Henry Cox, on tho farm of Capt. J. J. Rallonger, and a half gallon of corn juice was socured as evidence of the sale of liquor in the coiumunlty. The purchasers of the stuff finally gave the information as to where the liquor hud been pur chased, and the officers went to Cox's home and arrested him. Two of the distraught purchasers were very wroth about the loss of their liquids and became quito insistent upon Cox returning their money since they had lost out on the booze. Hut there was "nothing doing" in that line. Cox waived preliminary and gave bond In tho sum of $200 for appearance to answer to the charge of soiling liquor. Cox's homo is located on Richland creek. AT THE POINT OF BREAKING. Tension lu Mexican AfTulrH Now Seeing In Critical Stag?. Washington. .Inno 19.-Tho ques tion of war with Mexico hinges upon (ion. Carranza'? reception of a stern refusal to heed Iiis demands for re call of Cen. Pershing's troops, in the opinion of President Wilson's close advisers. They were prepared to night for the possibility of open hos tilities after tho note (which will be sent forward to-morrow) has reach ed Carranza's hands. No indication has come that the first chief's attitude of implacable hostility would he shaken by the re iterated declaration of tho latest communication that tho United .Stales has no aggressive or war-like purpose toward Mexico, but is (Irmly resolved to protect her borders and end brigandage near the internation al line. Tho reply to Carranza's note de manding recall of the American ex pedition was in the hands of the gov ernment iirinter to-night preparatory to its delivery and publication to morrow. Secretary Lansing had In tended to forward it to-day, but at the last moment minor changes and additions to the (5.000-word docu ment necessitated delay. Although it had been planned to send it by spe cial messenger to Mexico City, tho situation has changed, and it proba bly will be handed to Eliseo Arre dondo. Mexican ambassador desig nate. Guardsmen Mobilizing. While the diplomatic steps were in progress to-day the nation was stir ring with thc movement of national guardsmen mobilizing to guard the border. At least 100,000, and possi bly a far larger number, were pre paring for active service under Pres ident Wilson's call. For the present their mission will be purely one of defense; but should war come, they will be ready. Xo marching orders for the new forces had gone out to night. They will not be assigned for border duty until mustered into the Federal service. Even when mobilization is com pleted, only such units will be order ed south as Gen. Funston desires to fill the gaps in his 1,800-nille guard line. The remainder will rest on their arms at the State mobilization camps for the present awaiting events. Flaming Against Americans. Official reports from many quar ters show that a llamo of popular feeling against the United States is being kindled throughout Mexico. Apparently it is with the. sanction of Gen. Carranza, for in many cases thc acts are those of his authoi'zed agents. From .Juarez to the west coast ol' Mexico posters have appeared calling the people to arms and asserting that the United States is preparing to hurl its armies Into Mexico. Chaotic con ditions prevail everywhere. it is said. Clashes such as that between Mexican troops and American blue jackets at Mazatlan yesterday, show that relations are strained to the breaking point. The act of a subor dinate commander anywhere maj bring on fighting that will result In war. So far as officials here are aware Gen. Carranza is taking no strong measures to curb his soldiers and people. Upon this fact many of them found their belief that he is deter mined to force matters to an issue unless the American troops arc with drawn. Carolina Guardsmen Heady. Columbia. .lune 18.- Heady to re spend the minute orders are receiv ed from Washington for the mobili zation ol' the South Carolina troops Governor Manning and Adjt. (!en Mooro remained on duty until alto midnight io receive thc official in structions to mobilize the South Carolina militia. Tho Governor's office was kept open throughout th? night, and he remained in touch with a telephone at his side to star the machinery in motion which would gather the militia at Cami styx. T!ie Governor read the press dis patches telling of the call by the President for the militia for use on the Mexican border, and last night dictated the following statement to the people and the National Guard 'I know that the National Guard will gladly and willingly respond to the call to aid in the defense of American rights, American lives and American honor. I feel certain those who employ men who are member of the militia will make satisfactor arrangements whereby the men can respond for service on the horde without injury to their positions, so that South Carolina will sustain bei enviable reputation for patriotism and devotion to duly. I know thor will be the best of co-operation bi tween the people and the National Guard. South Carolina stands ready to furnish her quota of men foi service in this crisis." Approximately 8,800 Men. Adjt. Cen. Moore stated to-night that the two regiments of Infanti and one troop of cavalry, with maximum war strength of a pp roxi mately :i,800 officers and men would bo mobilized at Styx camp ground, near Columbia, within flvo days after tho order comes, which is expected lato to-night. He ni ready has notlflod regimental com manders to instruct their various units to be ready for the mobillza tion call. The preliminary prepara tion and permanent arrangement tho camp at Styx will be In charge of Major Drow, of Ham well, chief of the quartermaster's department who already is In Columbia. I Capt. J. M. Graham, 19th Infant ry, U. S. A., will muster lu tho troops after their arrival at the mo bilization grounds. 13rig. Gen. W. \V. Moore, Adjutant ? General of South Carolina, will bo in immediate charge of the camp. Anticipating the call, several days ago Govornor .Manning issued an or der instructing the various units of the State militia to be in readiness, and each company commander has* issued complete instructions how to act in case their commands are called out. Little trouble ls expect ed when the order is issued. Tho full war strength of the South Carolinians is over 5,000 offi cers and men, consisting of two regiments of infantry, ono troop of cavalry, live companies of coast ar tillery and four divisions of naval militia.
