and said so. I did not see

your baby to a Mexican family.'
That made me frantic and I cried:
T am going back to my baby,' whereupon
the soldier drew his sword and
declared that if I did he would kill
me. I dismounted from the mule,
Phut he forced me back and I knew
then I was a prisoner.
"We rode all that night and reached
Jiminez, where we camped for
three hours, which was the longest
we ever stopped in any twenty-four
jintil we reached the Boca Grande
River.

to talk to me. 'I am too busy,'
he would always say. 'Talk to one of
my colonels?that is what they are
for.' Throughout all the nine days I
was a Drisoner I sleDt in the saddle
or the camp a little while, with my
head against a tree or stump. The
men guarding me treated me well and
one of them told me that Villa's men
'did not love him, but were ruled entirely
by fear. Villa was protected
from assassins throughout the march
by his officers?a score of colonels
and generals?and by a picked body
of men known as 'dorados,' who
camped and rode by. themselves."

sincerely regrets this affair
and asks the American people to be

foreign minister of the cabinet, in a
statement to the Associated Press today.
"The government asks the American
people to remember that Villa is
a common enemy," he continued,
"and an outlaw to be hunted down
by all men. The Mexican government
will use the most vigorous
means to run this man to earth and

Washington, March 9.?A dispatch
from Gen. Pershing, forwarded to the
war department late today through
Gen. Funston, stated definitely that
the Mexican raiders were commanded
by Villa personally.
Gen. Pershing's report says:
"Slocum reports by telephone and
asks me to repeat that Villa himself
led the charge through camp with a
force estimated at from 500 to 1,000
men. Eleven Mexicans were killed
in camp and twenty-three altogether
so far.
"Four enlisted men killed and one
officer and seven men wounded. Prisoners
state Villa very bitter, vowing
death to all Americans. Villa retreating
into hills southeast.
"Slocum sent five troops in pursuit
with orders not to go more than two
miles beyond the border. Slocum
thinks he has enough to handle situation
and recommends that cavalry
be sent if any number of troops are
to go after Villa."

PALMETTO TROOPS READY.
South Carolina National Guard Comprises
2,159 Officers and Men.
Columbia, March 11.?Brought to
a high state of efficiency as a result
of the constructive methods and the
thoroughness of the reorganization,
the South Carolina National Guard
is ready for any call which may come
from the president of the United
States. Whether the call be for service
on the Mexican border or elsewhere
the Palmetto militia can turn
out 100 per cent, efficient, well trained,
well armed and well officered,
and fired with patriotism, prepared

The South Carolina National Guard
comprises 2,159 officers and men in
active service, and this is the quota
which could instantly be called into
service by President Wilson from
this State. The National Guard is
made up of two regiments of infantry,
the 1st comprising fifty-two officers
and 801 men, and the 2nd
forty-six officers and 795 men. Col.
E. M. Blythe, of Greenville, is in
command of the 1st regiment, and
Col. H. B. Springs, of Georgetown,
in command of the 2nd regiment.
The medical corps is composed of
nine officers and forty-eight men,
while there are eighteen civilian doctors
in the medical reserve corps.
The naval militia, three companies
at Charleston and one at Beaufort,
is composed of eighteen officers and
200 men, and the coast artillery
corps of twelve officers and 315
men, a total of 2,159 officers and
men available for active duty.
Why a Woman Can Outlook a Man.
A woman can talk longer than a
man, and does so because she uses
less force by a large percentage than
a man does, says Popular Science
Monthly. A German professor has
proved by actual and very delicate
measurements that the baritone singer
uses far more energy than either.
The range of voice differs greatly, so
the percentage varies to the same
extent, but as a general result it was
proved that a tenor uses only from
one-seventh to one-sixteenth of the
lung power of the baritone or bass.
The difference in the force used by
the contralto and soprano is very
marked and the contralto who sings
in very deep tones uses at least ten
times the force of the trilling soprano.
The explanation is so simple that
it is surprising that it was not
thought of long ago. It has long
been known that the tenor or soprano
brings the vocal chords to*

only by the emission of air. The
bass or contralto leaves the space between
the chords wider open, and
has to vibrate much more of the
membranes to a considerably larger
amount of air required.
GRANT SENTENCED
Negro of Edgefield is Convicted of the
Killing of J. T. Durst in 1906.
Edgefield, March 10.?After being
out about two hours the jury in the
case of the State against Joe Grant,
charged with murder, the killing of
J. T. Durst in 1906, this afternoon
returned a verdict of guilty, and the
defendant was sentenced by Judge
Moore to be electrocuted on the 14tk
of April. A motion for a new trial
was made and refused. An appeal
j to the supreme court will be taken
i Grant was carried by Sheriff Swear!
ingen to the State penitentiary this
afternoon. In passing sentence the
presiding Judge congratulated the
pnblic on the good order that prevailed
throughout the trial. Intense
interest was manifested in the trial
by the largest crowd that ever attended
court here, but there was no undue
excitement.

PRUNING PLANTS.
| Much Care Should be Used in Trim- ?i
ming Trees and Shrubs.
? A little early care given to the
j pruning of ornamental trees and si
shrubs during the early part of March e
will do much to control their growing
and flowering habits, and enable the r
home owner to have well formed b
plants and well trained hedges or h
boundry plantings, says a bulletin of fi
the department of agriculture. The i:
pruning of ornamental . trees and
shrubs is, in fact, one of the first g
duties that may profitably be per- g
formed in the home garden. The T
amateur, however, should not make t:
a ruthless assault with shears nr f,
pruning knife upon everything in his o
yard. Flowering trees and shrubs that h
bloom in the spring or early summer
should not receive radical pruning at ]j
this time, according to the garden t
specialists of the United States de- t!
partment of agriculture. Of course, if "
on these plants there are dead or weak
branches, these should be taken out, b
and any crossing limbs that are rub- p
bing and seriously interfering with ii
the growth of the bush should be re- y
moved. * The tips of the limbs, should tl
not be cut off nor should any young y
wood that does not interfere with the tl
growth of the bush be removed. It] p
must be borne in . id that the blos-i a
som buds for this year's flowering 0
were formed last year and every t<
shoot removed takes, off that much y
of the prospective blossoms. v
Trees and shrubs that bear their tl
flowers in midsummer and which tl
were not pruned in the fall may be tl
pruned at this time. Plants of this
sort are the rose of Sharon and the ft
shrubby hydrangea. Where >,the f<
largest possible mass is desired, these n
plants should be pruned but little, o
If the aim is to secure the largest _
possible trusses or blossom heads,
last year's growth should be pruned p
back to two or three eyes to a stem.
Such severe pruning, however, is not
conductive to the most attractive
developments of Shrubs.
, Climbing roses should not be pruned
at this time except for the removal y
of surplus or interfering branches.
Every bit of wood removed now reduces
the amount of bloom the plant
will bear during the coming season.
Roses used in border planting should
be treated in exactly the same way
as other shrubs, except that many of
this specie will be improved by
having all their old wood cut away
once in every five or six years. This
would mean cutting all the old canes
in six inches or one foot of the
ground and forcing the bush to throw
up entirely new wood.
Roses used for cut flowers like the
hybrid perpetuals, the hybird teas,
and teas, should be severely pruned.
The hybird perpetuals may be cut as
. soon as the freezing weather is past, a
Pruning of the hybird teas and teas,
however, should be left until the P
young plant has started. In both
cases the plant should be cut to withk
in six inches of one foot of the
ground. four or six eyes iu a sicuii l(
is about the proper amount of wood
to leave. t

"APPEXDICUTE."
rew Word Suggested to Describe One
Operated Upon.
The other day I received a card
tating that " t? has been operatd
upon for appendicitis."
Did you ever think of what a
ound-about expression it is? May
e you have heard this: is
ti the hospital, being operated' upon
or appendicitis." How cumbersome
ti this age of efficiency!
Now to enrich the English lanuage
and bring it up to date, I sugest
the following: "Appendicute-?
o perform the operation of removing
he appendix. Appendicuting?Perorming
the operation for, etc. Act
f. Appendicuted?Having had, or
aving been operated upon for, etc."
You can put in those mysterious
ittle a's, n's, v's and t's that confuse
he average reader and make the
hing less learned. Of course you
get me."
The first one I sprung it on turnled
at once. I said: "I've been apendicuted."
He said: "You're lookig
well. Came out all right, didn't
ou?" Simple, isn't it, like all great
houghts. Try it, the next chance
ou get (provided they don't see
his) and say: " is in the hosital
being (or to be) appendicuted"
nd see if they don't catch on at once.
>r, if occasion arises, call up the docDr
and say: "Hello, Doc! What'll
ou charge to appendicute me?" He
ill "get you" all right. Later on,
he telephone will go like this: "Is
he doctor in?" "Sorry, but he's at
he hospital appendicuting Mr.
Let's see. Was it Capt. Cuttle or
fr. Bunsby who said: "The reason
Dr it is in the application: if so, why
ot, therefore?"?Letter to the editor
