days ago in Columbia between
E. J. Watson, president of the
Southern Cotton congress, and
J. G. Anderson, originator of the
"Rock Hill" plan for reduction
of the cotton acreage, Colonel j
Watson will shortly arrange for
a meeting of the congress in At-1
lanta, probably next month with j
a view to putting the congress j
on a permanent basis, adequate-1
ly financed and soundly organised,
to keep up the fight for better
vMton market conditions.

Troops Ready to March on Border.
Army posts all over the country
have been ordered from
Washington to hold their men In
readiness to mdve on the Mexican
border on a moment's notice.
This was admitted by the war
department a few days ago. following
the receipt of a second
report from Colonel Steever, commanding
the American forces at
El Paso, Texas, relative to the
shooting of Private Baker, of the
Twenty-second infantry. The
state and war departments have
made no secret of their fear that
a new uprising, more anarchical
than that which was begun three
months ago, will sweep over interior
Mexico, making necessary
the most stringent measures by
the United States to protect lives
and property on this side of the
line.
Fewer Killed, More Injured.
Two hundred and forty-two
persons were killed and 4,706
were injured in train accidents
in the United States during the
quarter ending ' December 31,
1911, according to an accident
bulletin issued a few days ago
by the Inter-State commerce commission.
This is a decrease of six in the
number killed and an increase
of 977 in the number injured, as
compared with the correspond
ing quarter ot lyiu.
Direct Election of Senators.
The lower house of Congress
on Monday adopted 237 to 39, a
joint resolution providing for an
amendment to the constitution
to permit the election of United
State Senators by direct vote
of the people. It already had
passed the Seriate and now goes
to the President.
All that remains to be done is
the formal signing of the instrument
and the issuance of a
aroclamation to the States to
signify their wjshes o? the promised
change. The vote was
preceded by a bitter fight, in
vhich the Southern members
joined common cause against the
esolution.

Bridge contract will be let at Dobv's
Bridge, over Sugar creek, jointly between
York and Lancaster Counties,
an Wednesday, May 22nd, at 11 o'clock
