Thursday, July 15, 1915. Weekly Weather Forecast. Issued by the United States weather bureau at Washington, for the week heeinning Wednesday, July 14, 1915. For South Atlantic and East Gulf States: The week will be one of generally fair and warm weather, except that scattered thunderstorms are probable. It has been suggested that the organization of a split-log drag association in Bamberg county would greatly assist the county supervisor and commissioners in their efforts to keep the roads in good repair. These associations have been or are being formed in other counties of J the State. The plan is for the members of the association, who are far-1 mers residing along the public roads, j to take each a piece of roadway, say J one mile or two miles, and drag thisi section after rains or whenever it is! necessary; the county paying for the! hand and team at the rate of, say; 25c per hour. In this way the roads could be dragged when they needed J repair, and at times when the farm-! ers would not be busy, for it would ; take only a few hours to drag a short i stretch of roadway. It is quite im-; ** * *? tU- " v'c moH hanHs ! possioie lor tut; luuuv o . f to drag all of the roads every time! they need dragging, for this would j require a great many more teams and men than the county employs or, could employ. Such an association.! properly organized and conducted, would be of great value and we hope j steps will be taken to put the plan into effect in this county. WHAT A NEIGHBOR IS DOING n f v ? * Wal'rerboro is a close neighbor of Bamberg, a business rival, a commercial competitor. Read this dis patch appearing in the Sunday news- ; papers: Walterboro,- July 10.?Special: Work has been started on the extend- . ed waterworks system of 'the town, * - the sewerage system and the electric light plant, all of which will "be car- 1 ried on simultaneously and pushed to completion. Sometime ago ithe town voted $40,000 bonds for this work, and that sum is now being expended and the effect on trade is stimulating. The original bond issue was insufficient to carry through this work, -- but council has ordered an election for July 29, for the issue of $15,000 additional bonds, inus assuring, n carried, the installation of a modern and all-sufficient set of public utilities. There seems to be little doubt as to the additional bonds being voted. The construction company having the principal contracts has a large force of hands here and material is arriving every day. Fifty-five thousand dollars for public improvements! A dispatch- from Blackville. appearing a day or two previous, states work is progressing on sewerage and waterworks there. The same thing is going on at Barnwell and Allendale. The Bamberg freeholders are now being asked to sign a petition calling for an election upon the matter of issuing $40,000 in bonds for waterworks and sewerage. Mr. Freeholder, will you vote to put Bamberg on the progressive map, ttti'Ii \-r?u cir an H spp hpr stand Still. l/i "U1 ,'VM *?..? - w - or worse, slough away, because of a little more taxes?

One morning in the early part o Inly I visited (Jeneral Carranza whei he was a guest of Francisco Villa, ii the latter's palace in Chihuahua, for nierly the residence of the great laui haron. Terrazas. Stepping into tlie great threshoh of the mansion, and glancing througl an open door at the extreme end o the room. 1 saw the president of Mex ico sitting before his desk in a B. V D. shirt, burying his face into a hug slice of watermelon, while the pin! juice trickled down his long, whit beard and dripped on his dusty pat ent leather shoes. I stood spell-bound, but a momen lo + z-vv Ana nf hie coprotarip^ lPaDPf from?1 don't know where?and with a scream, closed the door be tween me and his chief. This done he turned to me. An Affair of State. "What can 1 do for the senor?" h asked nervously. "I wish to see President Carranza, I answered. "I am a newspape man." "Ah!" he smiled. "Just one mo ment. The first chief is busy not with affairs of State, but it will no be long before you may be admitte' into his presence." Prmim?nrliner nif to sit in the mOS gorgeous chair in the room, and bow ing profusely, he disappeared fror the room. Five minutes later he wa inviting me into Carranza's privat office. An entirely different seen confronted me. Carranza's desk wa littered with papers. The waterme) on had disappeared, and the big, egc tistical first chief stood before mi attired in a new uniform of a scream ing blue color. He stood up as I en tered, and offered his hand. "I have been very busy today, he said, in a deep, sonorous voict "But I never refuse to see an in telligent newspaper man. Now, tel me. what papers do you represent? I told him. "All! they are a great many, ar they not?" "Si, senor." I replied. "Also th largest in every one of our grea cities." He beamed on me as he stroke his beard. "I am greatly interested I am greatly interested! I Am He Who? "Most of you American newspa per men have preferred to go t rvan^ieoft Villa fnr vonr news." h began, restroking his beard. "Bu Villa is only a subordinate of mine I am the chief executive of this prou nation; I am Francisco Villa's com mander; I am he who directs Fran Cisco Villa's movements; I am th man who initiated the revolutio: against Huerta; I am he whom Go* has chosen to remold the history an government of this wonderful repub lie. I am?" "How many children have you? I interrupted. "I have brought several into thi world. I will make them great fig ures in history, because they are son of a man who will remold this grea and wonderful country. I?" "How soon do you expect this revo lution to be over?" I interruptei again. "I will soon give orders to my dif ferent commanders which, when the; are obeyed, will annihilate the ene my. I will then take complete charg r?f tha affairs of Mexico. I will fil the greatest position in Mexico, will fill the greatest position in Mexi co with a dignity unparalleled in his tory. I?" I forget the rest of it. but tha night in my dreams huge capital I* danced around me and a chorus o voices sang: "I! I! I! 1!" Kniiliano Zajwta. When 1 was in Mexico City las December a confidential agent of th American government invited me t accompany him on a trip to Cuerna vaca. General Emiliano Zapata' headquarters. Arriving at our hotel. Mr. Carotli ers demanded the best suite of room in the house. The clerk, struck b the importance of having two foi eigners in his hotel, brushed asid the mozo, who carried our suit cases and carried our baggage upstairs hirr self. "Why there are no beds in thi room and no furniture!" Mr. Carotf ers exclaimed, "I told you I wante the best rooms in the house." "Oh! but these are the best room in the house." answered the amaze clerk. "uenerai z*apaia. cuuuswic all the rugs and sheets in the hot* so as to make clothes for his so diers.

We had scarcely bathed in the j e large, cool r'oantain in the patio, | when an orderly arrived looking for nie. i ' "You will find General Zapatai I 1 across the patio in that room.' Hei 1 pointed a short, black finger toward I ~ the place behind nie. I 1 entered a large, bare room. Rifles of every description were piled ^ up in one corner of the sala. Near] II tiiem stood huge sacks of metal disks. | ' At least 100 chairs were placed: " around this enormous room. 1 stood] there fully a minute before I noticed] e that to my immediate right sat, what] k appeared to me, a Zapatista soldier.' e He was even smaller than the others] " I had seen. He carefully examined] the gun in his hands, and apparent-1 1 ly satisfied that it was clean, laid it! ^ aside and continued to stare at me. Zapata Buys a Watch. His attention suddenly centered on a $1.50 watch which I wore. "What is that?" He grabbed,my] hand in a vise-like grip. I pulled it! away sharply. * ' 'r11'" * " n "rtl ? 1 AV\?

A look of amazement d came into his eyes. "Carramba!" he exclaimed. "It is so! What is it worth?" I wished to impress him with my importance, so I replied: "A hundred dollars in gold." 0 He held out his arm. "Put it on e tme! s "Why, do you want to buy it?" I asked. For answer he whistled shrilly, j Another soldier came into the room i promptly. "Bring me $100 in gold coins." said my friend. "Hurry up." The messenger promptly returned with a large bag and handed it to my friend. He counted twenty pieces Jj of gold and handed them to me. "I believe that's equivalent to a hundred of your money, is it not?" I nodded, but my mouth was wide e open. Just then my friend. General Ban0 deras, came into the room. "Greatest Warrior of Age." I A beatific expression of child-like , admiration came into his eyes as he turned to my friend on the bench. "Si! Si! My great General Emiliano Zapata." 1 Turning to me he continued: "And mv Amigo, I will introduce to you 0 the greatest warrior of the age. Apostle of the people of Southern Mexi" co, and Savior of the Mexican nation, | my General Don Emiliano Zapata!" I L After I had gasped away my surprise, and returned the general's hun-! 6 dred dollars, saying that "I was only! joking." I resumed my somewhat startling conversation with the famous half-naked Attila of the South. "Do you intend to join forces with I ? General Villa's army?" I asked. "If Villa intends to play square j wiui me; ainerwise. i win crusn 8 him. What is your president's name?" he asked. s "Woodrow Wilson."

The first time 1 saw General Fi Cisco Villa he was sitting on a car, which was attached to one his troop trains then on its waj Chihuahua. He had just finishe meal of tortillas and chilli and singing a song of his own br deeds, which some Mexican poet recently composed. The song was often interruj when the general would pick yellow teeth with a murderous 1 ing knife, which he used for all i poses. I had heard so much at the bandit-general that I instinct ly approached the flat car with g: caution?or maybe it was timidit on my part. The song was stopped while great northern leader glared at The pink silk shirt he wore stucl his body on account of the heat; face was unshaved, and remnant his recent meal still decorated mustache. I carried my earners my hand. "Take My Picture." As I said before, I approached with great timidity, and stood tre ling while he glowered at me f his seat on the flat car. His words startled me.
