W Mexico City, September 16.?In spite of the rumors which dealt impartially* I with attacks upon Americans, an ( army uprising and the assassination Iof the Mexican president, Independence Day came and went with nothing to mar the holiday spirit. Politically the great event was the reopening of congress and the reading of the president's message. But without doubt Gen.

More than four thousand volunteers and students, ranging in age from 12 years upward,, had their taste of military discomfort, standing for hours in the drizzling rain and plodding through muddy streets. They bore the hardships manfully, Hfcowever, marching proudly between Klense lines of onlookers, through the principal business streets, past trie | Palace and to various points, where | they disbanded. Ten Thousand in Review. It is estimated that close to ten I thousand marchcrs passed in review. They Included a thousand of Blanquet's veteran^ who did hard service kin the Zapat^ country, regular-and volunteer cavolry and infantry, rurales, mounted and foot corps. Next to the stml^nts and volunteers, who received th* 'nost enthusiastic ap plause, were several ambulance au tomobiles filled with white gowned Hyoung won:en of the Red Cross hospik tal service. * President Huerta and cis aides, riding through the street after the con elusion of the early ceremonies at Chapultepec, were greeted with#wild L a pplause. The president's greatest trii umpli appeared to be at his reception at the joint session of deputies and I -enators when he entered to read his ; message. He was greeted with vivas "both by the crowd surrounding the chamber and that which filled the hall. iSix o'clock was the hour set for the formal opening of the session and a fDresidential salute of 21 guns was fired. Prompt to the minute the executive mounted the steps of the building, stopping only an instant at I the door. * The city was ablaze with strings of incandescent lights tonight. All public buildings were profusely decora.tv J ed. Until midnight the thoroughfares I resented the appearance of New Year's Eve in the big cities of the "United States. Gen.

The period of six months allowed American warships to remain in Mexican waters by special permission of congress will expire next month.

Jerome wiH oppose the continuance of the writ and insist on an imme diate hearing even though there is a possibility that Thaw may be released from custody. Jerome believes Thaw's counsel would make no attempt to get their client out of the State under the circumstances and that Thaw would immprliatplv hp nrrpsfprl nrtrl hrmitrVit before the governor as arranged. Thaw spent an uneventful day. Only once did he leave his hotel and that was to get shaved.

Thaw criticcized the whole affair as a piece ol spite worK. Inspector White took charge of Andrews shortly before 10 o'clock.

"I can't be too emphatic," said Inspector Allen, "in saying that this man's offense was committed and that he was indicted prior to the present Thaw case and prior to the arrest of Jerome at Coaticook. It has nothing whatever to do with the Jerome matter; we are simply doing our duty." WILL NOT LEAD FIGHT OX CANTEEN Columbia Record, 9th. Referring to a special dispatch from Philadelphia appearing in yesterday's Record, stating that Mrs. Robert Moorme . of Columbia had been asked to lead the fight for a reconsideration o-f the vote of the congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution whereby this organization endorsed the army canteen, Mrs. Moor I mail this morning stated that the article was partially Incorrect. "Recently I received a letter from Mr. William H. Anderson, superintendent of the Anti-Saloon league of Maryland, asking me to bijing this ' matter before the William Capers \ chapter, D. A. R., of trhich I am re gent, so its members may go on reci ord to the effect that they wish their representative in the national body to stand, not for liquor but for folks. I considered Mr. Anderson's communication as a circular letter and I have not yet answered it." said Mrs. Moorj man. "This article in your paper was j a great surprise to me." The Records dispatch was received from Philadelphia through a reliable news service and printed in the belief that it was reliable. The corre? ASKS WOMEN FOR AID. / Appeals to Farmers' Wives for Information.?To Help Housewives. Washington, Scjpt. 14.?Oavid F., Houston, secretary of agriculture, i within the next few days will address a letter to the women members of | 50,000 farm households throughout the United States, requesting them to give him information as to how the j J - 1 ** - i Ann K Acf I department 01 agncunuie ucoi , serve the needs of the farm women, j These letters wlil be addressed "To Housewives in the Homes of the Official Crop Correspondent," and will be sent to the full list of crop correspondents for transmission to the women members of their household^ With each letter will be supplied a return envelope in which the women can forward their suggestions. This inquiry results from the receipt of a letter addressed to the secretary in which the writer said: "The farm woman has been the most npelprted ^factor in the rural j problem and she has been especiallyneglected by the national department of agriculture. This letter was written not by a j woman but by a broad-minded man so : thoroughly in touch with the agricul- j rural and domestic needs of the coun- j try that his opinions have great weight. Following the receipt of this ! I letter, the secretary determined that j the best way for the department to j learn how to give these women the fullest possible aid and service which ; their important place in agricultural production warrants, was to write to the women themselves and ask them to make their own suggestions. In the letter these women are invited to give individual answers to the letter or to discuss the matter in their church societies or women's organizations and submit answers representing the combined opinions of the women of their entire communities. The answers are requested not later than November 15 and this date is set because it will give the women time after harvest- to consider the matter and discuss it with their women ! neighbors. This letter will go to about 20 lead- : ing farms in each of J'.e 2,800 counties of the United States. Their an- ' swers, it is expected, will represent j the views and opinions of upwards of! 500,000 farm women. These answers will be carefully considered by the specialists of the department having to do with that branch of agricultural. A A^ITT? f TT dULl VlLjr. Parham-Thomas-^cSwain, Inc. The Bulletin.

His reasons says: "Petition is presented by the Hon.; H. C. Pauling of St. Matthews, signed by a large number of the citizens of the county of Calhoun, the home of the defendant. The petition is also signed by ten of the -jurors who tried the case, and has the following endorsement from Solicitor Cobb: "I am forced to the conclusion that this is one case where the jury may have mistaken, and, tnereiore, recommend executive clemency. Respect* fully submitted. W. Hampton Cobb." And the following endorsement from the trial judge: "I concur in the recommendation of Solicitor Cobb. Very respectfully, Ernest Gary." "September 9, 1913." In view of the large petition and the recommendation by so many of' the jurors, and also the recommendation of the solicitor and trial judge, the defendant was granted a pardon or September 16, 1913. Tow Powers, colored, convicted at the June, 1913, term of court for Greenwood county, of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature ar:d carrying concealed weapons, and sentenced to eighteen months upon the public works of Greenwood county, was paroled today by the governor.

"Thaw is not crazy," said Dr. Taylor last night "He is a little eccentric, but the wonder is that he is not a maniac. The very fact that 'his mentality is still acute, is to my mind, sufficient evidence that his mind is stable when one considers t'iat he has been in a lunatic asylum so many years and thrown constantly in contact with those whose] minds are actually diseased. He has| stood more than most men could stand, and he will still preserve his mental balance.

"I feel sorry for Thaw," the doctor-scientist went on. "His money \ as been at the bottom of all his trouble. On one hand lie is fleeced by lawyers and on the other ?and by doctors. The doctors are as bad as the lawyers, and they will strip him 11::til all'his fortune is gone. I think he is an object of sympathy : for the whole country, and I think the community should nrotect him. He has been treated with gross injustice, and the wonder is that he has not been driven into maniacal ' insanity. "As a matter of fact, Tlraw doesn't want to kill a-ny one else.

"Reports hare reached me," said Mr. Dominick, "that it has been, rumored up in my district that I would not be m the race for congress ?that if I should be in the campaign next summer it would be for some other office.

There Hare Been Those Who Bought and Sold in All Times. Jbhm Biglow's "reminiscences" according to the Augusta Chronicle, are affording some "mighty interesting reading.''' Fe>r instance, from a paragraph herein one can form his own conclusion as to whether or not Abraham Lincoln was a "practical politician'" as we understand the term the?e d"ays. Mr. Bigetow writes: "On the third of April I dined witk Senator Morgan, of New York. He t<5ld me that Lincoln made up hisDSfrid in '64 that he must be re-elected or the union was lost.
