President Wilson revealed to those who discussed Mterican affairs with him Monday that he fully realised the gravity of the situation in the killing of William 8. Benton, a Brit ish subject, the reported murder of Oustav Bauch and Clemente Vergara, American citizens, and Gen. Carran- se a denial of the right of the United States to look after the Interests of foreigners generally In Mexico. 7^ The president spoke deplorlngly of the posaibllity of armed intervention, but at the same time pointedly re ferred to the size and power of a country like the United States as be- _ tug sufficient warrant for a calm and patient course while compliance with the American demands was being sought. Callers got the impression from the president that he was de termined to try every peaceful means at his disposal to solve the Mexican problem, but that he realized certain eventualities might mean a drastic course. He spoke with a firmness that showed his determination not to be stampeded into action by radical speeches in Congress, but with a hint that' when the necessity arose, the Paras for Sale Cfceap--Easy terms.

Upon Great Britain’s attitude In ~8Se Benton case depends largely the eextent to which the United States will become Involved. Should England show an Inclination to let the Benton ease await final adjudication at Mme when a firm government Is < tablished In Mexico the United States will not feel called upon to challenge Gen. v Carranza’s specific refusal to supply the Washington administra tion with information about Benton’s dMtk. Administration officials realize that hn not communicating with Gen Car ranza they have offended his personal dignity, and they hope to overcome this by consulting him now, impress ing upon the Constitutionalist chief Incidentally that the American gov ernment.does not think that formall ties ooght to stand in the way of ob taining protection for foreigners. Gen. Carranza’s declaration that foreign governments should address him about the welfare af their sub Jects led to- a visit to Secretary Bryan by Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, the British "ambassador, and Fenor Rlano, the Spanish ambassador. Both Spain and Great Britain have recognized the Hu erta government and have been look ing to the United States to act for them in Northern Mexico. There is •very Indication that this course will be continued, and It is clearly estab lished that Carranza's manoeuvre will not lead the British Government Into any recognition or other dealings with him President Wilson explained to call ers t]iat many foreign governments had desire&tbe-Unlted States to look after their subjects, but, of course, had no right to demand it and were not demanding It. Strictly speaking Carranza might Insist on his right not to deal with one government in the interests of another, but such a situa tion undoubtedly would produce grave complications with the United States government, upon whom the Powers of the world have learned to look as the dominant factor in Pan- American dlplomancy. Carranza once before has suggested that Spain, Instead of the United States, should address him directly about the welfare of the Spanish sub jects, but on that occasion assurances I „ „ . were given that all foreigners would ' be protected. The Benton case Is the first specific refusal in regard to in terest of the American government in the case of a subject of another conn try. Gen.' Villa’s acknowledgement -of Gen. Carranza’s superior authority has sleared up all doubt as.to who Is ehief of the. Constitutionalists move ment and haa relieved the Washing ton government of the necessity of eonsiderlng that point Hereafter, as Gen. Carranza requests Internation al matters will be taken up with him. Me also will be called to account for all harm to foreigners. thoroughbred S. C. Brown Leghorns prices on large lota. R. W.

FACTIONS LAYING FLANS Political Followers of SeaMonhip’s Candidates Are liming ap Behind Their Man Bach Side is Determin ed to Control the State Convention Next May. The storm clouds are gathering for Democratic State convention, which a tremendous struggle to control the assembles In Columbia on the third Wednesday In May. Conservatives and radicals, Bleaseftee and anti- Bleaseites, and other of the so-called factions of the Democratic party .are laying plans to capture the State con vention which carrtee with It the con trol of the primary election machin ery. Realising that the contest for the United States senatorshlp will be a titanic struggle, followers of Gov ernor Cole L. Biesse have beaded administration supporters of both branches of the general assembly into a compact organisation and ad ministration measures havs received the undivided support of the minor ity In both houses. A regular or ganization of the Blease legislators has been maintained and frequent caucuses have taken place to deter mine th6 course the administration minority would follow. Resulting from this understanding the vetoes of Governor 'Ble&se In the House have Invariably ibeen sustain- except in two miner Instances, when the caucus did not bind Its members. Several vetoes met death In the Honse the past week, the solid vote of the. Blease minority‘prevent ing the necessary two-thirds to over rule the veto. The administration minority In the Senate Is not suffi cient to sustain a voto. The major ity against the governor there Is over two-thirds. - Well satisfied with the results of their action In the legislative session now drawing to a close, the Blease followers are planning for the Demo cratic club meetings, which take place the fohrth Saturday night In April. At these meetings the clubs are reorganized and delegates select ed for the various county conventions, which meet the first of May, at which time delegates from the various coun ties are chosen to the-State conven tion and the members of the State executive committee elected. The control of the club meetings is the all-important thing; for obvious ly that will insure control of the ma jority of the county conventions, and through that the State Convention and the State committee. This is the fight and to this end the administra tion forces are now directing their efforts. Already the cry has been sent forth to the Bleaseites to organ ize and control the club meetings. But while the supporters Sena tor E. D. Smith are not talking they are far from being idle. There Is enough surface Indications to show that Governor Blease is going to face the fight of his career for further political honors. The doctrine of an tl-Blease is being spread through the length and breadth of the State and everywhere his opponents are prepar ing for the club meetings and- the county and State conventions. They propose. If possible, to again control the State convention and the election machinery and will go into the fight Dotaf Court Wesley (Red) Simon, on trial at 8L Louis on a ohargs of mnrdsrlag Emmett Carroll la % gang tend near ly a year ago, was shot and Instantly killed Monday In a nearby saloon dar ing a recees of the court In which he was being tried. Shortly after the killing Henry Zang, principal wltaeas for the prosecution, entered the cen tral police station, saying he had had some trouble with Simon. The sheriff, who had feared an attack would be made on Simon, had detailed four spe cial policemen to guard him la the court house. When the shobtlng oc curred they were standing on a street corner two blocks away. -; Zang says that Simon, after mak ing a gesture and threat, moved his hand toward his hip pocket. When Simon’s body was examlnod no re volver was fonnd and his hip pockets were battoaed. The killing of Car- roll. for which Simon was placed on trial Monday, occurred In a saloon last March. After the murder Car- roll’s body wss placed In an auto- mobllo and left near the home of Mrs. Mary Hagerty, whose daughter dis covered the body. Simon, who was arrested, admitted that he shot Car- roll, but pleaded self-defence. Zang, who Is a bartender, was ex pected by the protpecntlon to testify that Simon borrowed a revolver from him two honrs before the shooting. To the police Zang said* Simon came Into the Mooney saloon twice while he was drinking and told somebody “that felTow wlU never llve KrteeUfy against me”. John Gross, who was In the saloon when the shooting occurred, said that he and Zang had been there about twenty minutes when Simon entered and Invited everybody to have drink. While the drinks were being served Groee said Zang and Simon stepped behind the partition that sep arates the bar from the cigar counter and the shooting followed.

Phil adelphia, Pa. Toole’s Early Prolific More cotton to acre than any other -i. JK gtflPi mtde I5 SviThdwS; W. TT Hite made three bales the acre. I made 90 bales on 60 acres. One neigh bor claims he made 19 bales on three acres. Cotton is 40 per cent. behind Senator Smith to retrieve the defeat of 1912 and If possible wipe Bleaeelsm from the political map of the State. Not talk, but work, Is the motto, as it Is evident from surface Indications. Unless eigne are misleading, an other factor will have to be reckoned with In the fight for the senatorial toga. Former Governor John Gary Evans, It Is believejl, Is considering going into the fight, and his friends aver that hit entrance would drive a wedge between the Blease and Smith forces and make a new faction out of portions of both the present onps They say It will be an Evana faction made ap of voters from both the Blease and anti-Blease camps, and that it will be a formidable wedge. Then It would not surprise political observers to witness still another en trant Into this race In the person of Representative W. F v Stevenson of Cheraw. In fact, Mr. Stevenson has told friends In the past few days that he le considering entering the raca. He Is well known all over the State and is a public speaker well ablo to hold his own on any stump with any opponent. His hold on tho people, his friends point out, is Illustrated In his re-election from Chesterfield county last election"In the face of the fact that Chesterfield went several hundred majority for Blease. This is another possible wedge calculated to split into still smaller factions the Blease and anti-Bleaeeltee of South. Carolina. If the Evans and Steven son wedges rip open and break ap the two factions the race will be hard to forecast with any accuracy. A four-cornered fight between Smith, Blease, Evans and Stevenson would make a race the like of which has never been seen in South Caro lina, It la believed.

In the report of tho committee conducting tho Inquiry, which wag presented the general sjsambly Wed nesday, It was generally official circles that the resignation el Dr. Babcock was forthcoming. What wtu he the action of Dr* Saunders is not definitely knowft, though it is stated on authority none other than Dr. Babcock himself that ■he too wonld be forced to resign when he leaves that Institution. The superintendent stated that imr Ufa there would probably be unbearabfcb and that her work wonld probably bq generally hampered through tho con trary efforts of certain other officials of that Institution. Dr. Saunders Is now 111 at th« State hospital, suffering a slight break down following the strennons fight between the committee tor her exon eration.
