Following is the full text of Acting
Secretary Polk's note as delivered to
Eliseo Arredondo, Mexican ambassa|
dor designate, after it had 'been apj
proved today by President Wilson and
I his cabinet:
"I have the "honor to acknowledge
the receipt of your communication of
July. 12 . last, in which you transcribe
a note addressed to me by the secretary
of foreign relations of your government
and to request that you will
be good enough to transmit to him
tiie following reply:
The Mexican Proposal.
" 'Mr. Secretary:
"'I 4iare the honor to acknowledge
receipt of your excellency's note
transmitted under date of July 12, by
Eliseo Arredondo, your government's
confidential agent in Washington, informing
me that your excellency has
received instructions from the citizen
first chief of ?he constitutionalist
army charged with the executive power
of the union to propose that each
of our governments name three commissioners
who shall hold conferences
at some place to mutually .agree
upon and decide forthwith, the question
relating to the evacuation of the
American forces now in Mexico,^ and
; to draw up and conclude a protocol
| or agreement regarding the recipro|
cal crossing of the frontier by the
. forces of both countries, also to determine
the origin of the incursions to
| date in 'order to fix the responsibility
j therefor and definitely to settle the
difficulties now pending or those
| which may arise between the two
I countries on account of the same or
I a similar reason; all of which, shall
(be subject to the approval of both
I governments.
j Would Extend Scope.
' " 'In reply I have the honor to state
| that I have laid your excellency's note
! before the president and have received
instructions to inform your excellency
that the government of the
United States is disposed - to accept
the proposal of the Mexican gov;; nment
in the same spirit of frank cor i
diality in wihioh it is made. This gov
I ernmem believes and suggests, however,
that the powers of the proposed
commission should be enlarged so
that, if happily a solution satisfactory
to both governments of the question
set forth in your excellency's communication
may be reached, the commission
may also consider such other
matters, the friendly arrangements of
which would tend to improve the relations
of the two countries, it being
understood that such recommendations
as the commission may make
shall not be binding upon the respec
tire governments until formally accepted
by them.
"' Should this proposal he accepted
by your excellency's government, I
have the honor to state that this government
will proceed immediately to
appoint its commissioners and fix,
after consulation with your excellency's
government, the time and
place and other details of the proposed
conferences.
" 'Accept, Mr. Secretary, the assurances
of my highest consideration.
" 'Frank L. Polk,
u 'Acting Secretary of State.' "
To Await Reply.
Appointment of the American commis3inoners
will a wait Gen. Carranza's
reply. If he approves the suggestion
that the scope of the commission's deliberations
be enlarged as desired by
the United States, it is expected hi3
i
note will be accompanied by authorization
to Mr. Arredondo to confer
with Mr. Polk as to the time and pi<*w,
of the meeting.
President Wilson is understood to
! have at least a score of men under
| consideration for appointment as comj
missioners. '^mous: them are Chief
; Justice "White. <M.ij. Gen. Goetiials
| Frederick Lehman, former solicitor
general, and Louis Brandeis, associate
i
justice of the supreme court. It "was
| stated authoritatively today that the
president had nor. attempted as yet to
make any selection.

City has been to the effect that Luis

would head the Mexican membership

Gen. Carranza's reply is not expeetj
ed for several days and officials here
I do not -believe the commission can be1
gin sessions for two weeks at least.

The proposal to widen the scope of

i;i administration circles as an extremely
important aspect of the situation.

! QUAINT TRADITION
SAYS 40 DAYS OF BAIN
The tradition is, that upon the,
death, of St. Swithin, his body was, by j
his request, buried in the churchvard
anjpng the poor, instead of in his
cathedral. Years afterwards, his admirers
proposed to transfer the remains
of the s-aint to the cathedral,
and deposit them under the higb. al
tar, with solemn ceremonies. This
wa? to be done on the fifteenth day
of July, the day set apart to the .Saint,
in the calendar, but he so strongly
disapproved of the proceeding, that he
sent a tremendous rain which continued
for forty days, until the project
was -abandoned; ever since whi?h
time, the weather is supposed to be
regulated for the next forty days, by
the weather on St. Swithin's day. The
Scotch have put it in the form or a
proverb, thus:
"St. Swithin's day, if it do rain,
For forty days it will remain,
St. Siwithin's day, and be it fair, ,
For forty days twill rain na mjir. !

Dr. Riggs says Clemson was not
exempt from damage caused by the
recent flood and storms. He estimates
that the college lost between
$5,000 and $10,000 in damages to the
rops. A peculiar feature of this
loss is the fact that the loss was
scattered among all three of the
stations, the Pee Dee, Florence and
Clemson, which illustrates the wide
scope taken in by the flood and . i
storms. Most of the damage to the
crops, however, was caused by winds,
which blew down corn and tobacco
crops extensively. The president
stated that before the flood the crops
at the Pee Dee station were the
finest he had seen in the State.
