The Telephone Service.
I
The telephone service in Camden had
not been interrupted by the strike, nearly
all of the young ladies here remaining
loyal to the company and staying on
the job. In mentioning the names of
the young ladies who remained with the
comiKiny the iiiitne of Miss Mabel Lee
was unintentionally omitted. She did
not refuse to go to work and has been
with the company continuously and is
regarded ns one of the most efficient
operators on the local exchange,. -That
the course the Camden operators pur
sued in the strike situation is appre
ciated not only in Camden but elsewhere
is oshown by the following letter ad
dressed : "To the Telephone Girls fyoin
the Camdoiiiana in Columbia" and sign
ed by "The Camdoninns of Columbia
"Hurrah for you brave girls, true to
your Country in time of peace as well
as in war.. We are proud' of you and
send you thanks for holding sacred the^
honor of The Old Home Town. She
has never failed in patriotism, and never
will if her fate rests in hands and
hearts like yours," who have not failed
and are worthy of The Old Town. Wre
send you greetings and mny you all
be as havpy as 'we wish. We waint
you and the world to know how proud
we are of the Camden Telephone Girls."

CAMPAIGN FOli MEMBERSHIPS
In Cotton AiMoctytion To Me Tut Ou At
OrlMiw Meeting.
Columbia, June 1(?. A meeting of the
Board of Dim' torn of the Aioerioau* Cot
ton Association will b?' yheld i? Now
Orleans ou July \M, 2nd, Jtrd, 1010.
Special committee# have been appoiut
'ed for handling matters ?>f vital impor
tance to the entire cottou belt.
Among the important matter# to be
?handled is the matter of State Corpora*
tlouK for, the marketing of the cotton
crop and a standard warehouse ^jystem
for the entire cottou belt. There are
npecial committee* actively at work on
Hanking and legislation, Finance and
Organisation, (\?tton Tare, Marketing
and Taking of Cotton Reporte, aU- of
which will make reports at the meeting
of the Board In New Orleans.
At the NeVv Orleans meeting a whirl
Wind campaign for membership iu the
Association will be launched, so that
every single, solitary farmer, merchant,
banker, businetm and professional man,
who has the bent interests of ' the cot
ton grower at hearti throughout the
length and breadth of the cotton belt
will be solicited for membership. Many
Of the states have already put on this
campaign, an the rivalry between the
Htaten to complete their organization first
will be very intense.
"Cotton will never be sol^l again for
less than a profitable price as a result
of the work of the American Cotton
Association", says J. Skottowe Wanna
maker, president of the Association. "A
standard warehouse system to be con
trolled Iby the pfcoducera throughout the
Vntjre cotton belt is oiie of the primary
objects of the Association. A marketing
corporation which will -enable the pro
ducer to sell his cotton at the highest
possible price is one of the importaut
matters which is being worked out.
Both of these plans , are fully described
in Bulletin N<f. 2, which has just been
issued by the Association. "'At the NeW
?Orleans meeting plans will be perfected
for the Checking of crop reports. Ar
rangements are being made to have rep
resentatives in every cotton consuming
country in the wprjd to secure dircct
*tti formation as to the need for cotton.
The very beRt experts in the South will
be secured for handling crop reports,
?the Association to issue s\fch ^rop re
ports twice monthly. ?
"The organization of the Export Cor
poration is being energetically pushed
to a prompt completion. This corpora
tion will revolutionize the entire biisi
ne?H interests of the South."

were, billeted In barracks and camps on
the i American side tonight after twenty
four hours of campaigning.
toeven ragged Mexican prisoners were

while another cavalry detachment drt>ve
n herd of 100 captured Mexican horAes
and ponies to the -remount station.
It was officially stated 'tonight at Fort
Rltin that approximately 50 Villa fol
lowers were killed.
One American of the Seventh cavalry,
Corporal Chigas, was shot through ^ne
lung by a Mexican rebel.
After crossing during tHe night the
cavalry column, supj>orted by a batal
TTo5~oT the 82nT artillery, advanced and
at daybreak began a scouting tour. Cap
turing the seven prisoners before reach
ing the Villa camp, the cavalry was en
abled to proceed, dismounted, to a short
distance of the al>ode headquarters when
fighting was begun ? by the Americans
standing in water up to their knees.
Four Villa men were killed in the, first
assault and the entire force, numbering
ai>proximately 200 men, mounted anfl
esCfrped toward the southwest with the
cavplry troops in pursuit.* The rebel?
scattered into small bands, the Fifth
cavalry pursueing one band 85 miles.

Irish coaft after the fir?t non-stop flight
across the Atlantic ocean.
Their voyage was without accident

and twelve minutes ? from New Found
land to Olifden Island, a distance of
more than 1 ,1MH> miles.
London, June 1ft. ? Describing the ex
periences of himself and Lieut. Brown,
(.'apt. A 1 cock in a message from Galway
to The Daily Mail says :
"We had a terrible journey. The
wonder is we art' here at all. We
scarcely saw the sun or moon or stars.
For hours we saw none of them. IhsL
fog was 'dense and at times we had to
descend within MOO feet of the sea.
"For four hours our machine was
covered with a sheet of Ice darrled
by froren sleet. At another time the
fo>f was so dense that my speed indi
cator did not work for a few minutes
?and it was very alarming.
"We looped the loop, I do believe, and
did a very steep spiral. We did some
very comic stunts, for I have had no
sense of horizon.
"The winds were favorable all tae
Way. northwest and at time* Southwest.
We said in Newfoundland that we would
do the trip in sixteen hours, but we
never tho"UghtNwe could. Art hour ami
a lujlf before we saw land we had no
certain idea where we were, hut believed
we were at Galway or thereabouts.
"Our delight in seeing IOastal Islands
and Tarbot Island, five miles west of
(31 flfden, was grei^t. The people did
not know who we were nnd thought we
were scouts looking for Alcock.
".We encountered no unforeseen con
ditions. We did not suffer from cold
or exhaustion except when looking 6ver
the side; then the sleet chewed bits
out our faees. We drank coffee and ale
and ate sandwiches and chocolate.
"Our ftlght ;hWshown that the At
lantic flight is practicable, but I think
it should be done, not with an airplane
or seaplane, but With flying boats.
"We had plenty of reserve fuel left,
usiiifc only two-thirds of our supply.
"The only thing that upset me was
to see* the machine at the end get dam
aged. From above the bog looked like
a lovely field, but the machine sank Into
it On the axle and well over on to her
side."
