While moat of the latest dispatches
freat Mexico are full of hope for the
Coaatitatioaalista and express the
▼lew that ther are about to triumph,
it will be interesting to read a dis
patch from Mexico City giving the
Fedenri side of these recent develop
ments. Friends of Gen. Huerta point
aut why he is still able to keep an
army ia the field, although unsuc
cessful in obtaining foreign loans.
Indiscriminate seizure of property
aai excessive taxation are the two
meaas by which tjje privisional presi
dent hopes to overcome the ill effects
of President Wilson’s financial block
ade, aad thus to continue a dogged
and elective resistance to the ad-
vaaca of the Constitutionalists. The
following dispatch was sent out from
VfHxics City on the day President
Wllsoa’s message was expected to go
to Caagroas. It gives a brilliant pic
ture of Mexican Internal affairs as
they are to-day, in the midst of war
and rebellion:
"Tha possible treatment of the
Mwdeaa question by President \V’il-
saa'a coming message has aroused
considerable interest among Mexican
gorannanat officials, but there is a
actable absence of alarm because of
tha deop-reoted conviction that neith

araa and ammunition to the rebels
w® be raised. The continuation of
the Assadal blockade will not be re-
by President Huerta as a vital
hityr ta his administration, however
eafbabllnf It asay be Anything short
of IntarvenUoa or the supplying of
muafMoas of war to the reboln will
be regarded with comparative com

by William Burr Gibson, of Schenec

is undergoing rigid tests. In a test
made by the inventor, before apply

The apparatus can be carried around
by an ordinary man.
“Although I have not made actual
experiments with aeroplanes,” said
the inventor, “the success which has
attended the other demonstrations
warrants me in predicting that it will
as readily destroy war aeroplanes as
It will explode ordinary mines.” Ex-

warfare. With its aid, an Invading
force could easily explode every mine

antagonist's defenses in a day.

Thursday night to be held on the
charge of killing Jeter Snow, a crip

boys held for the killing It seems
that the two boys had been in a gypsy

thought it well to load up a gun and
put It by their bed to protect them
selves Late In the night the crip

tending to be a gypsy, possibly to
still further frighten them, called
out, “Let me tell your fortune ” As
he entered the house he left his
crutches outside, the first time he
was ever known to walk without
them, and entered the bed room of
the two boys. Robert reached for
the gun, and &■ Jeter came near the
bed fired, the load taking effect In

No reason other than fright can be
given to account for the killing'

stole $10,000 in currency, shot and
killed the bank manager, II. M. Ar

and are believed to have surrounded
the robber on the wooded bluffs.
The masked man first apeared at a
garage where, at the point of a re
volver, he forced the proprietor to
supply him with a powerful automo
bile. The bandit drove the machine
to the rear door of the bank. Ar
nold was alone, other employees of
the bank not having returned from
luncheon. The bank manager sub
mitted while the robber took several
packages of money, but attempted to
follow as the latter entered the au

SENATOR IS
Has Secured Experiments by Govern
ment Experts Who Are Making
Teats ttf “Discover the* Intrinsic
Value of the Various Cotton Grades
Ho That the Farmer Can Get More.
Senator Smith Saturday spent sev
eral hours at the department of agri
culture at Washington, where he In
spected the progress of the experi
ments being made to demonstrate the
intrinsic value of cotton, expressed
in terms of the relation of the va
rious grades to each other. The gov
ernment expert, Dr. Cobb, and his
corps of assistants are in constant
touch with the senator. They ex
press themselves as “satisfied with
the reults as far as we have gone.”
Senator Smith had amazed these ex
perts hy his technical knowledge of
rotton.
At tlm last session of congress the
senator secured a special appropria
tion of $16,nuo to conduct these ex
periments, which will determine the
waste, the tensil strength and the
Idee rhing quality expressed in rela

ofli'ial government grades. Senator
Smi'h, in com meriting on the experi

“Believing, as I do, that every pro

ket is entitled to know, by every
means that the government can legit

well as the producer. 1 want to edu
cate the farmer, as to what each
grade of cotton can he manufactured
into, and what Is the actual value of
the cotton used In the conversion. I
believe that the farmer is capable of
taking care of himself prov.ded he is
as well posted as is his buyer ”
“The purpose of these experiments
is to in.ike available the Information
which conveyed to the farmer, will
give him that knowledge necessary to
place him on a equal footing with the
huver ami the manufacturer of his
ma'erlal with reference to its intrin
sic worth All farmers know what

These experiments w.ll show why
such conditions now exist Although
the work Is In an Incomplete state,
sufficient progress has been made to
reveal some starting results and
every one of them are in favor of the
prod ticer ”
“I want the government to Issue a
bulletin to the farmers so they may
better learn the grades and the valm

The wholesale pardoning of Ban
ners by Governor Bleaaa on
hanksgiving Day has caused much
miment on the part of the newspa
pers of the country, and the action
of Governor Blease in turning aiity
man-killers loose one day, two-thlrda
of whom are negroes and one-third
white men, will not elevate the State
in the eyes of other people. Tha New
York World says:
Governor Cole Blease of Soath
Carolina pardoned one huhdrefi chh-"
victs yesterday. Twenty-eight of
them were serving life sentence* for
murder and twenty-eight for man
slaughter. T want ’em to eat Thanka-
givin dinner at home,’ said th# emi
nent demagogue who turned them
loose. The fifty-six victims of these (
fifty-six man-killers will not eat
Thanksgiving dinner at home. They
will continue to sleep the deep sleep
of the grave. Even in South Caro
lina the dead do not vote, and have
no voice in the election of a United
States Senator.”
No, the poor fellows these man-
killers put in their graves have no
votes, and, consequently, Governor
Blease has n^ sympathy to waste on
the widows and orphans the men he
has turned out of the penitentiary
made with their handy pistols.
Widows and orphans cast no ballots,
but the men who made them widows
an'! orphans have, if they are par
doned, and that is why Governor
Blease turned these white and black
man-killers loose. He expects to
make votes hy it. But he should
lose more than he gains by turning
these man-killers loose on the good
people of the State.
The cartoonists n!«o take a hand
in showing how merciful Governor
Blease Is to the man-killers and
especially the negro man-killers.
On Wednesday of last week one of
the cartoonists of the New York Sun
found inspiration for a drawing In
the Thanksgiving pardon proclama
tion of the governor of South Caro
lina. It is not a pretty picture,
showing as It does a vicious-looking
negro convict, garbed In stripes, a
pistol in one hand and his writ of
freedom in another, gazing with
adoration at a portrait labelled “Gov.
Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina,”
and supposedly singing, as the line
below suggests, “For he's a Jolly
good fellow"’
Governor Blease will claim that
these referem es to Irs mercy In par
doning man killers Is persecution.
But as a matter of fact are they*
Why should newspapers at the North
and West persecute Governor Blease!
What does the honest people of South
Carolina, regardless of who they vot

liberated man-killers are negroea. the
