A proper building and exhibit will cost a lot of money, but it is the kind of advertising that pays, and in J that section, where lands are so much higher than in the South, it seems to be good business to advertise our resources and attract new population. some editors are veisai.no gcuiuoes. Some months ago Col. V. B.

Little Marie Carswell, the nine ihonths old baby of Mr, and Mrs. A. Carswell, had a peculiar operation made upon her Thursday morning, when a needle about an inch and a half long was removed from her right side. The doctor discovered the needle with an X-ray ana removea 11. The needle was rusty and it is not known how long it has been in the little girl. The parents have no idea how the needle got into the little one, or how long it has been there, and only suspected something was wrong by noticing a pimple just above the needle.?Aiken Journal and Review.

Lehman, j ie American delegates to the media-! ion conference, went to Buffalo to-: ight and talkel for four hours with - 3 T ..j., ! latael zuoaran auu jlui& tauicia, j ersonal representatives of Gen. Car- j anza. Their purpose was to find! ome way to bring the Constitution- i lists in harmony with the scope of lediation. The mission was a fail-j reThe Constitutionalists representa- j ives told them why they could not j gree to an armistice: why only a: lan prominent in the Constitutional- j >t rank could be accepted by them i dt the provisional presidency and j nally they said they believed the j Constitutionalist army would settle j lie Mexico problem soon if left un-i ampered by foreign complications.' The Americans returned to Xiaaara : 'alls feeling that so far as the politi- [ al pacification of Mexico is concern- j d mediation had accomplished noth- i ig and probably the end of the conerences was very near. The next full conference is set for j 'riday. Most of the principals here j icline to the view that Friday's ses- j ion may be the last. The three me- j iatins plenipotentiaries virtually J ave abandoned hope of solving Mex:an problems and the Huerta deleates are resolute in their determinaion not to accept a Constitutionalist artisan for the provisional presi-l encv. Dispatches of the forcible seizure y an official of Gen. Villa of the teleraph office at .Juarez, held previously by Carranza officials, created a stir i the mediation colony. The Huerta i elegates said it showed plainly the ; orrectness of their repeated warn-' rigs that a lack of cohesion in the j lonstitutionalist ranks would lead j o anarchy in the north. Incidentally it is understood the; imerican delegates inquired of Ca-j rera and Zubaran what they thought j f the stories of a split between Villa j nd Carranza. The Constitutionalist; missaries said they had confidence in j len. Carranza's tact and ability to; mooth over such differences. The gravest apprehension, never- j lieless, is felt here of what may foi-J o iipoal* hcfwPAn Garranza and ! 'ilia. Should their forces clash, a j ondition of anarchy might ensue, -hich. in all probability, would; rouse agitation and demand for arm- j d intervention by the United States.

Suit has just been entered against Clarendon county by Madison Cantey, a negro resident of Paxville. as administrator of the estate of his son. Marion Cantey, for $2,000 damages for the alleged lynching of the latter in March of last year. It will doubt less be called, as was reported n The State at the time, that Marion Cantev. a negro youth, was arrested on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill, and after a preliminary examination held by Magistrate L. S. Barwick he was committed to jail to await trial at the court of general sessions. About 1 o'clock in the night he was placed in the hands of a constable and started to Manning to be placed in jail. After proceeding about four miles on the way, and when about Tindall's mill, it is alleged that he was forcibly taken from the constable and summarily shot to death by a mob of lynchers. The case will probably come up for trial at the September term of court. Bryan Returns $10,325 Personality.
