&UREZ FALLS INTO
THE REBELS HANDS
eneral Callas Says Every Effort
Made to Avoid American Compli
cations.
Agua Prieta, May 3.-(By the Asso
lated Press.)--The revolt of Juarez
gainst the Carranza government of
lexico today gave the revolutionists
>ntrol of the largest State in the Re
ublic of Mexico.
Only one small Carranza garrison in
hihuahua, that of Casas Grandes near
le Sonora boundary, remains loyal to
ie central government, according to
statement issued tonili by Gen.
Elias Calles, commander-in-chief of
ic revolutionary armies in the North
est.
The movement of revolutionists
mainst Casas Grandes already had be

The fall of Juarez had been'expect

-en sent to El Pas6 to confer with
exican oilicials for turning the town
id soldiers over to the revklutionists
te commander-in-chief stated.
According to Gen. Calles the delay
as caused by the desire to have' the
!volt of Carranza troops complete
id take the city without fighting.
To Avoid Complications.
"We did this to avoid any complica
ons with the United States authori
es," he said. "We feared that in
battle bullets might fal linto Amenri
mn territory."
More than half the length of the in
rnational boundary between the
nited States and Mexico now is held
7 the revolutionists, he added, and
inferences are, being held thrgugh
hich they hope to soon have the en
re international boundary in their
inds. Thns, Carranza's only com
unication with the outside world
ould be by ocean routes.
Gen. Calles announced late. today
at his troops here would move into
hihihhua immediately, Casas Grande
ill be the first objective. At- Casas
randes there are between 300 to 500
arranza troops, it was said, and

From Casas Grandes the troops of
adlels will be entrained for Juarez.

it carried food and munitions to sup
port our own army and aid our allies.
Josephus Daniels may not be the one
guiding spirit that made possible this
proud American achievement, but he
was the active head of the department
that did achieve it.
This much to bring your attention
to the abnormal conditions prevailing
during the period of the war and
which must prevail more or less dur
ing the period of reconstruction.
Democrats Won. War.
What did the Democratic party
achieve during the years of its ad
ministration antedating the war? On
larch 4, 1913, the Democrats for the
first time in 50 years, came into full
posession of the entire machinery of
the federal government. The Republi
.cans had had, with a minor excep
tion the spoken control for 50 years.
By the every nature of the case they
were the party of vested interests.
They were the party of high tariff.
and high tarifi' meant the protection
of American inanufacturies and Amer
ican manufacturies meant organized
capital and it is needless for me to
say that capital never organizes itself
to pay dividends to the public to re
lieve the con(litions of labor or to
lower.the cost of government, but it
organizes itself to pay dividends to
itself and to accumulate wealth for it
self. Therefore, the logic of events
was that the party having committed
itself to the protection of vested capi
tal framed every law with -regard
thereto. The result was that trusts
and combination sprang up through
out the country, labors and producers
unorganized were left to feed upon
the crumbs that fell from their mas
ter's table.
Republicans for Privileges.
The banking and currency law of
1865 was so rigid and ,inflexible that
it was wholly an instrument for the
use and protection of the capitalists.
Under this Republican regime stupen
dous fortunes were acquired, the in
terest, from which gave to the lords
of capital in America an income so
princely that it would-have in itself
alone made a comfortable support for
hunrdreds of A merican ramilics. These
immense fortunes with their conse
quent stulpen(ous, incomes were made
possible. They were the direct result
of the policies of Republican legisla
tion an(I yet not one penny diI these
fortunate ones under government pro
tection pay from tieir incomes to the
support of the general government.
What dil the Democratic party do to
the party of the people whose slogan
was and is, "Equal rights to all and
special privileges to none," when they
came into power? It immediately re
vised the iniquitous tariff laws of the
Republican party and lifted the burden
from, the shouhdrs of producer an
consumers in this country and re
.moved tie protection of the govern
ment. froi the monopolies that had
grown up theretuuier.
It, put those articles sorely needed
hy the people on the free list and
save to the producers of th( raw ma
terial inl this counrtry, who had to
sell their articles abroaid, the privi
legte of buying in the market in which
they sold, cheaponing by millions nnd
milions o (ollars the things they had
to buy arib enhancing the value of
the articles that they exchangel there
for.
Realizing that currercy was the life
blood of commerce, the Ilemroc ratic
administration addressed itself to the
problem of banking and currency and
passed that act known as the new
banking arnd currency law, the fed
eral reserve act. *

SENATOR [. D. SMITH
MAKES GREAT SPEECH
Federal Loan Act, the Declaration of
Financial Independence of the
Producer-South Advanced More
in Seven Years of Wilson's Ad
ministration Than 50 Before.
Senator E. D. Smith recently made
a speech at Ashboro, N. C., which L. F.
Ross, chairman of the county Demo
cratic executive committee at that
place, says is the greatest speech ever
delivered there. In this speech Sena
tor Smith gave a short review of the
progress of the South under the Wil
son administration and effects of the
federal loan act. The speech follows
in full:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen:
We are approaching ahother elec
tion. The conditions surrounding this
election are radically different froni
any circumstances in which a national
election are radically different from
A war means an abnormal condition
of spciety. It means more or less sus
pension of the laws, rules and regula
tions governing organized society in
government, commerce, both at home
and abroad.
We of America for a half c'entury
have been engaged in the pursuits of
ordinary life inder conditions of pro-,
found national peace. As a nation we
were wholly unacquainted with the
ruthless necessities of war. The
genius of our government its theory
and practice being essentially dlemo
eratic, was wholly foreign to the im
perialistic demands of the inevitable
laws of war. Therefore, it is not to
be wondered at that the average
American citien should improperly
charge the temporary suspension of
the laws guaranteeing him certain
rights and privileges to the party then
in power. He does iot, and perhaps
,an not, take that broad and coin
prehehsive view of the necessities of
Lhe situation that would enable him to
judge clearly the real merits of the
7ase.
When it is taken into consideration
Lhat for 50 years we were wholly en
zaged in the pursuits of pdce vhen
there was no intimation that we were
to be pluuged into a world's conflict,
md when it is further considered that
Lhis conflict was on a scale surpass
mig in scope, importance and death
Iealing instruments, with the issues
involved being the efviliation of the
vorld, and our own civilization, it is
riot unreasonable that the means used
Lo preserve the rights of mankind
should have involved temporarily the
ruthless suspension of all these rights.
We, as said before, had been a na
.ion of peace, we loved peace. The
individual liberties, rights and privi
eges of an American citizen, under'
Anerican laws, promotes the love of
6vorldwide universal peace. We have
lever coveted the possessions of oth
nrs. We have never sought territorial
xpansion. We have never desired
lominion over other nations and peo
ples. Therefore, had never engaged
m1 constructing for ourselves the
leadly fire fightin gimplemiients of war
So that when this World conflagration
sudnicly broke out we were wholly
without the fire fivh tng apparatus of
nodern designs. But, thank God, we
wvere not without millions of lads and
men imbued with the spirit of fire
hiing to preserve their owln. There
fore, as the danger was Imminent and
ippalling, we had to organize the
)ucket brigair'' and nvail ourselves
>f every means of orocure the water
o pil' out the fire. It is not sirpis
ing that. a lot of water was wasted.
1 lot was uielessly spilt because of
he lack of the fighting equipment,
out we put the fire out and that was
worth more than ali the water spiilt.
We saved every home in A merica. We
avedl the cfvilization of the world and
preservedl the devastated fields of Eu
r~ope for the erection once again of its
oies and the establish meznt of its
>ryan ized soc iety upon the princi pleA

Unabecomting to Criticise.
And it is hardly becoming an Ame(r
ican citizen, re"'ard less of what party,

WHAT OUR COUNTY
FARMERS ARE DOING
The Club Boys who attended the
luncheon given them by Tihe Maning
Board of Trade last Saturday report
a good time. Mr. L. L. Baker, State
Leader of Boy's Clubs was present and 1
gave the boys a very interesting and
instructive talk. Mr. U. R. Sprott, of
the Manning Oil Mill, offered to let
any boy who could not finance his
acre of peanuts have the fertilizer and
seed peatiuts necessary to plant an
acre now and pay for them after his
crop is harvested. Luncheon was then
served and each one did his share to it I
putting ham and cheese sandwiches,
pickles, fruit salad, Ice cream and
cake out of sight. As soon as luncheon
was over the Bradham Farm was
visited. The big hogs were quite a
sight for the boys and they seemed to
enjoy seeing those fine flogs almost as
much as they did the luncheon. When
the contests are over and the crops
harvested next fall there will be a
better time in store for the boys.
I heard a rumor this week that a
man near Summertlon had torn down
an old house and found about a bushel
of boll weevils hibernating in the
cracks an(d crevices. The amount nol
doubt is somewhat exaggerated but at
that I'll bet he found a lot of them,
enough at least to convince hi im thl
the boll weevil is with us. There are
still a large number of farmers 'in
Clarendon who think there is nothing
il this boll weevil talk. Those peo- K
ple, I'm afraid, will be wise' though
sadder next fall. They remind me
of the man who was attending a circus,
for the first time. While going
through the menagerie tent he came
to the pen in which was a giraffe. Ife
stood looking at it for some time and
finally half to himself and half to
the man next to him he said, "There
ain't no such animal."
Mr. A. I. Barron has a piece of
furniture on, his back porch that is|
doing a flourid hing business. It is alj
flytrap and Mr. Barron said it paidl
for itielf in half a day as it keeps the
flies away from the doors and
windows. The trap is built A shaped
with wire netting. In the center of
the floor of the trap there is an open
ing through which the flies enter theI
trap and once inside they cannot find
their way out again. Just under this
opening is placed a shallow panl ill
'.w'iich is syruI 01' o (fe other sub
:ance that will attract flies. Such a
trap is I necessary article on a farm;
anrid if more of them were ised thereI
would be less sickness.
A prominent. farmer stopped me( on
the street the other (lay and said,
"Ar. Musser, we certainly want a
cotton grader in Clarendon next year.
Thiis is the first year I have sohl strict
middling cotton and I have no reason
to believe that my cotton is better this
vear' than it has been other years. I
believe the cotton grader saved the
county $50,000.00 this yeart and i 1
woui ll be wvilling to pay 50 cents a bale
to have my cotton graded." I'll say
We want the ('otton) grader back noxel
year, how about you ?

Washington, MIay 3.--The murder of
two more Americans in Mexico, re
ported todhiy to the State Department
accentuated the concern with which
oficials here are watching- develop
ileits beyond the border. There was
nothing, however, to indicate to what
extent the attitude of the Washing-.
ton Governmient toward the Sonora
revolutionary movement might be af
feeted by the fact that the incidents
occurred in Carranza controlled terri
tory.
Requests for additional warship pro
tection at points on the east coast of
Mexico already had been forwarded to
the navy by the State Department.
While this had no relation to the lat
est murders, it was said to indicate
the view of officials as 1o the unset
tied conditions prevailing in that re
Lrion , nominally at least, still held by
Carranza forces.
On the border, loss of Juarez, of
licials said, would he a serious blow
,o the federals, because of its revenue
produciig capacity. They believed
omplete rebel control of the State of
Chihuahua would be the logical re
sult.
The murder of E.ben Francis Green
law and his young son by Alexicans
wcar El Oro only 125 miles from Alexi
3o City, brought from the American
.'mbassy in Mexico City a prompt and
mipliatic demand that the Mlexican
GTovernelint arrest and punish the
nuriderers. The American Govern
nent contends that the Carranza au
horities were responisibie for tim pro
cction of the Greenlaws, because of
thIe presence of Alexican troops in the
immediate vicinity.
The (late of the sailing of the fleet
f destroyers to Mexican waters was
not muale public, but the belief was
ex pressed that they would be sent it
