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,

THE MEXICAN LEADKKS.
An Intimate Sketch of the Threi
Mexican Chiefs.
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. You must sleep like we doon
the floor and use your coat fc
a pillow."
"All right, then." sighed Carother
"Show us the bathroom."
Zit;>at<i \ee<le<l the Water Pipes.
"Oh! but there is no water in' tl
bathrooms." exclaimed the clerl
("General Zapata has confiscated a
the pipes so as to melt them into pel
Inies. You must bathe in the font
j tain outside. You see there are r
women hereabouts, so you can't o'
;'ect."
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.

"You lie like a dog. All watches
are big."
"I held my wrist to his ear so he!
v
could listen to the ticking of the lit,
tie watch. 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

name?" he asked.

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

words startled me.
