MORE ARE SHOT fasiJcol Tilt's Wiraiig tej ike Mexican Was Net Heeled | MANY AMERICANS HURT Douglas, Arizona, Again Shot Up by the Mexicans in Their Battle at Agua Prieta, and the Town Terrorized bjr the Shower of Bullets in the Streets. A dispatch from Agua Prieta, Mexico, via Douglas, Arizona, from the Associated Press correspondent in the Field, says the most important battle of the Mexican revolution was fought here Monday between 1,600 Federals, under command of Lieut. Col. Diaz, and 1,000 rebels, under P~1 lariro Gracia, and resulted in tne repulse of the Federals. The oattle, however, was not Anally decided. It lasted from 6:30 A. M. until sundown. At niehtfall two Federal ma chine guns were In possession of tne rebels, and the Federals had a loss of 200 killed and wounded. The rebels gave their own loss as 20. From the beginlng of the battje, regardless of the warning given by the United States to the leaders of both forces, a rain of bullets poured Into the American town of Douglas, and when the day was over seven non-combattants, residents of that city, were found to have been wounded. It was a day of terror in Douglas. The Federals advanced in a fanshaped battle line, with iheir machine guns in the centre. They gave notice of their approach with a hail of bullets from the machine guns, supported by a rifle fire. The insurrectos directed their fire at the crews manning the machine guns. But the Are of the Federals was so fierce that It forced the rebels back to their second line of entrenchments. The Federals advanced slowly. As they came nearer the fire of the rebels became more effective. Leaving the protection of their breastworks, they moved out into the pen, continuing to concentrate their Are upon the machine guns. The Federals, finding the rebel defence, after three hours fighting, too strong to enable them to carry the trenches, began to retreat. Presently the machine guns were silenced. Sharpshooters made it impossible longer to man them. Sheer exhaustion occasionally caused a partial lull in the fighting. At 11 o'clock the repulsed Federals had reformed and again advanced to gain the boundary line, masmng their movement with heavy rifle Are. The machine guns were silent. The rebels, encouraged by their success, returned the fire eagerly. The interval had been employed by the rebels in digging new trenches. The advance guard of the Federals in this attack consisted of fifty cavalrymen and 300 infantry. 4 Behind them was a supporting par- i tj that kept under cover of trees and I bushes. The Federals reserved their fire, but an unceasing stream of bullets poured from the trenches. These striking the dry earth, made it alias though a dust storm was raging and for a time served to obsura the movement. The advancing Federals again found the strength and determination of the rebels too great for them. They fell back, but in good oraei, firing as they fled, leaving their two machine guns in tne possession 01 the rebels. Those in Douglas wounded are. S. O. K. (loll, scalp wound in the fconrt Mr Ooll had acrompahied the Associated Press correspondent to the front earlier in the day and had fellen back to 4th street. Elpidoe, Arce, Douglas, wounded on foot. Frank Williams, shot in bars while standing outside of the so-called danger zone. Wound dangerous. Jack Hamilton.

Mrs. Larson, severer}* cut by shattered glass of kitchen window of a residence. John Keith. Doung'as, wounded in leg while walking in the street. More than half of Douglas was under fire from the beginning until the end of the battle. The United States ' istom house was in the direct range of attack and the United States troops were forced to seek shelter. When the battle began, Col Shunk, commanding the United troops to the line and took every precaution for the safety of the citizens. keeping them out of that part of the city which was considered to be most exposed. This, however, did not avail to save Americans from in Jury. THE Ol'TI.OOK IS BAD. President Taft Will Be Defeated at the Polls. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says nothing has struck him more forcibly since arriving in Washington than the almost entire unanimity with which the poor chances of the Republican party in the 1912 campaign are acknowledged. It is generally agreed that Mr. Taft will be renominated by his party and go down with it to overwhelming defeat at the polls. The only thing which is regarded as giving a ray of hope to the G. O. P. is the Mexican situation, which may explode at any moment and is being nursed with skill at the present time from an Administration point of view. If oh/\+a flvlnc f mm \f n oa! 1 onH ouvio IV *"D 'I Wiu AUVAivatt own auu winging Americans are to be taken as cause for Intervention by our armed forces on the border, there is a very plain possibility of the establishment of an endless chain of interval, tion, advancing link by link as our troops occupy territory adjacent to that of conflict in Mexico. Drop Dead. Arriving in Greenville, at a lats hour Monday noon, to visit relatives. Mr. J. Volney Sarratt, of GaTfney. dropped dead in the doorway of the home of Mrs. C. E. Watson, just as he was about to greet his relatives. Mr. Sarratt left Gaffney in the afternoon, apparently in perfect health. -* - .. ... ' '% BILL WILL PASS j BUT DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICAN'S ARE DIVIDED. The Reciprocity Rill Causes Trouble in Both the Old Party Ranks. The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says sentiment is not unanimous among the Democrats In favor of the Canadian reciprocity treaty, but every day brings new proof of the absolute demoralization into which the issue has thrown the Republicans. The division has entered even into the subdivisions of the G. 0. P. There are reciprocity and anti-reciprocity standpatters, and reciprocity and anti-reciprocity insurgents, and often they get into arguments with each other. The SeLate is taking things easily, while the House works overtime: before long the House will be adjournA elln lufs iwi in 1 rr ui IUUI ua> a at tup, while the Senate will be in constant action. Democratic leaders are prepared for an attempt by some of the Republicans, who oppose the Canadian reciprocity bill, to embarrass the Democratic majority in the passage of the bill by proposing. as> an amendment to it, a section embodying all of the free list that the Demacratic ways and moans comni itee has prepared as the first of the party's tariff measures. Opposition Republicans have charged in the House that if the Democrats were in earnest to have this free list passed, they would offer it as a part of the reciprocity bill, so that President Taft could not find occasion to veto it, even though it did not meet with his approval. Chairman Underwood, of the wavs and means committee, is apparently proceeding on the belief that an amendment to be talked into the free list bill will be offered. He said that such an amendment would be at ?nee ruled out of order, as it could not be considered "germane to tne bill," under the House rules premising the offerin? of amendments. An effort is to be made to wind up the open debate on the Canadian agreement. The bill probably win be brought up for final consideration, amendment and passage Thursdey. Henry George, Jr., of New York, in his maiden speech in the House during the reciprocity debate, proclaimed himself a free trader and said he had aligned him3elf with the Democrats, because he believed it is the only great party "moving toward the lighi." He endorsed the Canadian agreement as tending toward freer trade; and believed that eventually the United States would have absolute free trade with the world. His speech did not arcuse any great enthusiasm on the Democratic side. Representatives Howland, of Onio; Knopp, Wisconsin and Gillette, Massachusetts, spoke in favor of the agreement. 0 ^ m I OXE MAY DIED. 1 | t I Two Young Men Exhibit Splendid ] Courage. Overcome by gas upon entering a 1 sewerage manhole Tuesday, Joseph j Freer, a negro lad. was killed, and < H. G. Prown and D. R. Blakely of 1 Greenville, white men, who went to 1 his assistance, were also overcome. I Mr. Brown was so serrlously affected ' that he will die, but Mr. Hlak' ly is ! recovering, and will be himself in a dav or two. The negro was sent into the manhole to clean it out. In some way the gases had collected, and before he could give a signal of distress, he collapsed and was drowned in tht cell. Just as he fell over. Mr. Brown jumped Into the place to his relief. He was one of the section hands in charge of the work. Hardl> hac? he entered the place before the alarm was given that he. too, had collapsed. Mr. Blakelv, a junior at the medical college, undismayed by the experience of the two men. also jumped into the place, carrying a rope with him. He quickly made it fast to himself, Brown Freer, and immediately willing hands raised the three to the surface. Freer was already dead. and Brown nearly so. with Blakely himself in bad shape for a time. The two men who had been overcome were taken to the Roper Hospital for treatment. The doctors announced almost at once that Brown could not recover. It was a splendid show of heroism in both Brown and Blakely going to the assistance of the negro, and Blakely was given much of an ovation as' he was brought to the top and found to be still alive. DIED IX THE PILP1T. North Carolina Pastor Stricken at Easter Service. The Rev. Dr. \V. M. McFarland, pastor of the Methodist church, at Mebane, X. C., had just announced the text for his Easter sermon and was kneeling to offer prayer when his congregation was startled to see hint suddenly fall from his pulpit to the floor of the church. An examination showed that he had been stricken with paralysis, and though medical aid was siven by physicians prescnt, he died without regaining consciousness. I)r. McFarland was a well-known Methodist minister and served in a number of churches, among them being Releigh and Wilmington. The deceased leaves a wife and two children. Fell From Wagon. John Scott Hoover, a prominent and wealthy farmer of Mecklenburg county, N. C.. fell from the seat of the wagon he was driving as he neared his home at Matthews.

REBELSJEAVE ftej Had to Eradiate Aoga Prieta for Wait of Auiaitioi to CONTINUE THE BATTLE The Insurrectos Left Quietly at Night and tlie City Was Occupied by the Federals the Next .Morning.?They Were Much Mystified by the Hebels leaving. A dispatch from Agua Prieta. Mexico. says the rebel army, after almost eighteen hours of incessant fighting Monday in defense of Agua Prieta, uuietly evacuated the town during the night. It moved silently and at daylight was nowhere to De seen. The Mexican National troops entered the city at dawn, encountering no resistance. The federals approached the towi. from the south and east during iuo early hours, coming in slowly and cautiously, lest they encounter an ambush. Great was the surprise of troops on finding, when they reached the outer works of the rebel entrenchments, that the trencueo hao been abandoned and no insurrectos were in sight. The federals continued to come in. still more slowly, presumably expecting to encounter a surprise at every moment, but they found no rebels anywhere. The latter had vanished as completely as the night. There was no indication e\en of the direction they had taken. The reason for their evacuation of the city after their all-day defense of it was not at first apparent. Later developments showed the rebel army to be badly disrupted. Its leaders gave up the fight and the men in the ranks appear to have fled in directions of their own individual choosing. Col. Medina, who had assumed the command of the rebels in Agua Urieta Sunday night, made his way to the American line just before dawn and surrendered to the United StatcB troops. He was the mayor of the town and was immediately placed under guard and held at the headquarters of the American cavalry at the ball park. The victorious federal force which occupied the town number about 1,200 men. Lieut. Col. Reynaldo Diaz was in supreme commann. ti, der him were Major Luis Hedina Barron of the rurales and Commandante Francisco Chlapa, formerly prefect of the town of Moctezuma. The government losses In Monday's fighting may never be known. Th'e federals declined the assistance or the Red Cross, stating that the army would care for its wounded. The Associated Press correspondent passing in the streets of Agua Prieta saw a few dead bodies of rebejs lying In the streets. At the bull rinr there were everywhere evidences Df the fighting and ample signs that the federals has possessed accurate information of the strongholds occupied by the rebel forces. The main towers at the bull ring were shot into deves. In the west of the bull ring there were two bodies. One was that of an \merican. Sitting against the wall )f the ring and heavily guarded by Mexican troops 6at a lone American who had not escaped with the retreating rebel army. His hands were tie?* with ropes which passed over his shoulders. "They are not going to shoot me, are they?" he asked in a terrified voice. * * ?1 J ll*"i > ? ?-.-v /-? \i? n o Thnmnc lit* SclHl lliai ma name ? aa itvuiuo Sullivan: that he was born in Connecticut: that he had crossed the Mexican line the day before: had been arrested by the rebels, robbed of a hundred dollars, forced to display the scarlet ribbon on his arm and had been driven into the fighting line. He still wore the scarlet ribbon Tuesday. The rebels evacuated Agua Prieta because they had exhausted their ammunition. This*was apparent from the stories related by the one or two who did flee, and by the federals who entered the town. As the rebels passed out of Agua Prieta to the westward one or two members of the army called across the line to the American troops: "We are going into the mountains and will return when we get some more cartridges."

The Washington correspondent of The News and Courier says although 1 the majority of the South Carolina delegation have been from the first 1 in favor of the Clark-Underwood plan of passing the Canadian reciprocity bill intact (with a request to the President to approacn Canada on the 1 subject of extending the scope of ' the agreement) and then taking up as a separate proposition a schedule 1 of othei* tariff reform, which the 1 Democracy considers essential in be- I half of the farmer and the general I * P..?AllnA I i ijuainiirr, n la iiur ui oimiiu l ai unua as of most of the other States, that there was a decided minority in the ( delegation which opposed this programme until enforced by the gener- 1 al caucus.

ATTACKED BY WILDCATS. A Farmer Nearly Killed by Two of the Beasts. Edgar Clarkson, a farmer at Pawling. missed one of his calves iasi night, and early this morning went in search of it. In a clump of bushes near the foot of the Pawling Moun- 1 tains, Clarkson stumbled on the body I of the missing animal, which two wildcats were feeding.

Inquiry into Alleged Extravagance in Government Departments. T te first move in the sweeping Democratic probe into governmental extravagance was taken Saturday when Speaker Clark conferred behind closed doors with the chairman or nine committees, whose inquisitions are expected to show that many millions are wasted annually. Not since 1 876 have these departments been so exercised as at present. The indications are that all the bureaus will be turned topsv turvy, salaries be cut right and left, positions abolished, bureaus eliminated , and much red tape discarded. I'nder the house rule the appropriations committee is now empowered to cut salaries at will. 'Mr. Hamlin introduced a resolution that afternoon giving the committees the authority to summon witnesses, even cabinet officers, take oaths, and investigate every government department to the bottom. It will come up at an early date for passage and the committees then proceed with the probe which is expected to last during the session Kill nil the Flies. The following hints from the New York Merchants' Association have proved helpful almost everywhere: Kill every fly that strays Into a sickroom. Screen all food whether in th"? house or exposed for sale. Keep garbage ran* covered and sprinkle freely with lime or kerosene. Keep your drains in repair anu pour kerosene in them. Burn or bury all table scraps. If there is no dirt and filth there will be no flies. If there is a nuisance in the neighborhood, write at once to the board of health. There is no Money.

Engineer Joe Dunlnp Shot Charley Middleton, Colored, Taking Him For Collie Wood, White. Quite a sensation was created in Sumter on Friday night of last week when Engineer Joe Dunlap about eleven o'clock shot Charles Midalelon, a negro, mistaking him for a white man, Collie Wood, with whom DunLap had had some previous difficulties and for whom he was watching. The trouble that led up to the 3hooting several weeks ago when Collie Wood, a young white man, ae?an paying attention to Dunlap e wife while he was out on the road but was later ordered out of '.he bouse and told not to come duck an pain of being shot. However, Wood did come back sometime later and plans were arranged between him and Dunla.p's wife for ha elopement. Dunlap came home in time to prevent the elopement, however, and swore out a warrant for Wood for trespass after notice. Wood was sent to jail is he was unable (o pay off the fine that was imposed upon him at the bearing before Magistrate Wells. It is said that on the day of the night of the shooting Dunlap intercepted a message from Wood to his wife in which Wood stated that he would come around to the house Friday night while Dunlap was off on his run and formulate plans for another elopement. Dunlap at once got another man in his place for the night and providing himself with an pump gun loaded with buck shot be prepared to wait for Wooa. After he had waited sometime be saw someone about the size of Wood coming down the street and fired six shots at the person. The person fell, shot in several places and D>jnla;.gave himself up to Policeman Barwick and Ward who came up to investigate the cause of the shooting. It was only after Dunlap had been taken to jail and was asked why he 3hot the negro boy that he learned cnai ne nau siiui mo ?iuue man. Assistance was sent to the aid of Middleton and he was hastened to the hospital where his wounds were treated. When Dunlap first started to shoot the negro Middleton was with two of his sisters returning from a church festival, which they had been attending, and when the firing commenced one of the negro girls rail around the house of Henry Jainee, who lives next door to Dunlap, and the other jumped through the window as did Middleton. Inside the house the two negroes ran upstairs and while the policemen were looking for the supposed Collie Wood, and started upstalrp for him, the negro hoy and his sister Jumped out of the upstairs window to the ground twenty feet below, the boy in jumping fell into a wire which broke his ankle and prevented him from getting out of the way before Dunlap he could shoot four more times at him. Dunlap shot six times before the hoy ran into the house and four times after the boy came out. The two aegro girls were uninjured, except for fright from which they suffered a creat deal. It was stated by one of Dunlap's neighbors that he had been sick for some time, and tnat ~ Uo.i n?A!..iKli. hnun HrinVirif* Pri lie uau |?i^. ~ ? ... day night before the shooting accurred. * Charley Middlefon died Sunday night as the result of the wounds received in the shooting. Coroner Flowers held the inquest over the body at the finding of the jury being that Middleton come to his death by gunshot wounds received at the hands of Joseph Dunlap. Love's Ia?lu?r Thrown Av.ny. Secretary of the Treasury FrankIyn McVeagh, in addressing the bankers at Summerville the other day plead for two parties in South Carolina. He was according to the rule and precedent that obtains in the section of country that he hails from, talking to the very people in our State who, if his wishes were carried out, and a real Republican parly organized in this section, would constitute its backbone, and therefore he thought he would do a little missionary work among them, hoping it would bear fruit in the future If not now. Hut we fear it will all be lost. Our bankers don't have to set rich off the people they serve, but get rich with them, as the Florence Tinu"S puts it. Therefore there is no reason why our bankers should be Republicans. They are among our staunchest and best Democrats, uecause their interests lie so closely with the interests or tne people, anu there is plenty of money to be made in this section without "gorging anybody." The Republican party is the party of special privileges, which fattens off of the franchises granted it to take other people's money under the guise of "supporting the government."' Our bankers do not need that kind of thing down here to dc a prosperous business. They are here to help the people who are engaged in legitimate business, not to exploit them, and by special governmental favors rob them of their hard erned money. There is where Mr. MacYeigh and others like him make their mistake in advocating a Republican party in souin uaroima. ?? ut-u vuc is needed it will come, but ::t can't be built up by artificial means, and held together by cohesive plunder and robbery of the masses, as it is done at the North and West. There is no room in the South for such a party, and it will never exist. Peculiar Accident. Ike McCulIough. son cf General Roadmaster McCullough, of trie j-.llantic Coast Line Railroad, was killed and Ed Smith, a negro, had his leg broken when a long piling fell from a car at Black Swamp trestle, near Ludowic, Ga., Monday. McCullough was struck on the head, and he lived but a few minutes. The Democrats will make an effort to carry out the last Democratic National Platform by putting lumber of all kinds on the free list. This is right and we hope they will succeed. SERIOUS CHARGE FLORENCE HEALTH OFFICER IN'. SILTED YOUNG L-ADY. He Is Under Four Hundred Dollars Bond and Fired From His City Job. A warrant waB sworn out Thursday by Chief of Police J. J. Koopman, of Florence, unon information and belief, charging City Health Officer Deberry with assault and batten' of a high and aggravated na ' 1 1 - - Alaniimeto n/?oa ture, wnicn, unuer me uiiuumBuw., was the most serious charge that could be made out against him by the prosecuting witness and the two little children, brother and sister of the young lady upon whom the alleged assault mas made. The warrant was issued by Magistrate C. Seymour McClenaghan, an uncle by marriage of Deberry. Deberry was arrested and placed under bond of $400 for his appearance at a preliminary hearing, which Is set for Wednesday. April 26. The story, as told to The News and Courier correspondent, who has read the written statement from the young lady, is about as follows: A young lady from I^ee County, accompanied by two children and an uncle, reachec the city one day this week. They vere passing through and the uncle >vent up town to attend to some hndness. While he was gone, the train on which they were to leavQ the city pulled out and the young people had no place to go. The young lady asked as to a boarding house of the police, as she thought, but who proved to be the health officer, who carried her to a respectable place. After seeing her to a room at the boarding house, it is alleged that he took liberties with the young laoj and. made improper proposals to her, of an unlawful nature, and even going so far as to lay hands on the young woman. His conduct was offensive and was violently opposed by the young woman and finally assistance reached her in the person of the lady who runs the boarding house, who thought that the officer had remained in the room longer than he should have. For various reasons the matter was kept quiet until an investigation could be had. This was done Wednesday by the chief of police, who took an automobile and drove over to Lee County and secured a written statement from the young lady in the presence or witnesses, me enter i was accompanied by Mr. A. 0. Kafcr and Mr. W. M. Mims, of this city. They returned to the city Wednesday night and the warrant was the result of the chief's visit to Lamar. Wednesday night, acting upon his information, the board of health had a called meeting and Health Officer Deberry was immediately discharged from the service of the city and board. Deberry is well known and has always held the esteem of the people. He is connected with a number of prominent people of the city and the affair is to be regretted. SHOOT UP JACKSON. Lawlessness Rules in Breathitt Coun# ty, Kentucky. Lawlessness was triumphant in Jackson, Ky., the 6eat of Breathitt county, on Saturday night. Friends of Jason Deaton, who was killed in a feud fight with the family of Anse White a week ago, "shot up tne town in Western border style, according to reports, riding through liie streets and firing pistols into houses indiscriminately No one was hurt, but as a consequence of the raid the guard about the jail, in which members of the White family are held has been increased.

Washington news dispatches hogin to show signs of recognizing fh? tendency of American party politics, long inevitable and now culminating. The Spartanburg Journal says they foresee a stormy special session of congress, but one so confusing in party alignments that nothing phophetic can be 6aid of it. Four parties are distictly visible, and the 1aminiferous lines run through both chambers. They foresee a Republican minor Ity in rne nouso is irreconcuauiy nivided, with standpaters on one side and progressives on the other; in the Republican majority in the senate the same division appears. Thus there are two Republican rarties at the capitol. Eacn faction of either chamber co-operates with the corresponding faction in the other chamber. The Democratic majority of the house and minority of the senate are similarly divided, with plutocratic Democrats on one 6lde and democratic Democrats on the other. The sooner a division takes place and new political alignments are made, the better for all concerned. Let the Republicans in the Democratic party go where they rightly belong, and lot the Democrats in the Republican party do the same thing. Then the political atmoaphere would be considerably cleared up.
