BACKS UP WILSON " } THE CABINET STANDS FIRMLY BEHIND HIS POLICY < WILL NOT COMPROMISE United States Vfill Not Tuke a Slunk* li r>a<Uwi\r<l Stop, According to Admi aist vat it >11 Olllcials?Wilson and ^ !: IVryaa l>o Not Wish to liift the Km- 8 v harco on Anns. c President Wilson's cabinet stands c firmly behind him in bis efforts to u force the retirement of Provisional f President Iluerta as a necessary step a to the pacification of Mexico. For t more than two liours Tuesday the I cabinet discussed every phase of the r Mexican situation and the concensus s of opinion was that tlie United States * government should not tako a single backward step in its announced prograin looking to tlie restoration of * constitutional government in the t Southern Republic. ( Tlmilfli nnlilnnl c ..xyn. v uifiuub iiiriuiiri o * nuu: ward w<>re reticent about expressing 1 their views, it beeame known that all ; favored steps which would convince 1 Inert a that the United States was in earnest in its demand that ho eliminate himself from the situation. On the question of raising the embargo on arms, tho cabinet members expressed various opinions. Some of them recognized in this method a practical and perhaps early solution of the difficulty but there was no final decision. There is a hope on the part of both the president and Secretary Bryan that a measure so radical as permitting exportation of arms may not be required to solve, the problem. Influences are at work which, in the opinion of many officials, may force tho early collapse of the lluerta regime. There is a closer understanding, for instance, and more frequent communication between the State department and foreign governments generally than has been In evidence at. any time since the Mexican prob- 1 loin became so widely International. * Not only through the American embassies and legations abroad, but through the diplomatic corps in Washington, Secretary Bryan is giving such detailed information of the American policy as to leave no doubt of what the United States would liko to see accomplished. So far as is Itnown, there have been no direct requests for foreign support, but the strong intimations that the United States would like foreign nations to refrain completely from interference in the afTairs of the Huerta government are expe.cted to produce tangible results. What the United States is seeking is an acquiescence in its policy by the Powers. A few weeks of financial isolation, it is believed, will forco the retirement of Huerta. That President Wilson possibly might soon issue a statement making n, comprehensive explanation of the purposes of the United States was indicated by some of the diplomats who now hare been fully informed about the situation. The President, it is said, has not finally determined whether ho shall make another pronouncement, but it has been suggested to him that such a declaration might place on record tho reasons why the elections conducted by the Tluerta government could not bo recognized by tho United States. It is resported that in this connection the President might announce the repudiation in advance, of any acts of the new congress, which Gen. Tluerta has said would be convened on November 20.

In discussing the colleges and the ligh Bchools in his annual report, ' *rof. W. H. Hand says: "As mediums for conveying to the ;eneral public accurate and definite nformation about the colleges themelveB and their working attitude tovard tho high schools, the college atalogues of 1912-13 are far ahead >f those of any former year in many > day, perhaps in their history. The r uller data contained in thorn will be c appreciated by the school men t hroughout the State and by a large I orcentago of these catalogues are I oal contributions to the educational f tutus of tho State. 1 congratulate c >oth the colleges and the people. f "Of the twenty colleges in the ( Hate, nearly every one gives definite- t y what its entrance requirements are i )> subjects and in tho aggregate. >nlv one catalogue fails entirely to 1 Itate its minimum entrance require- ' nents. This leaves the high schools ( mil patrons of this college unin- t ormed as to the preparation requir >d. : "The catalogues show the work un- 1 lertaken in the colleges by years. In i ho main, this information is stated f vith clearness. In a few of the cata- ogues the reader has to make some < ross references to get at all the { acts but this is due to a rather un- 1 lappy compilation of the data. "Sixteen of the twenty colleges ' lave preparatory departments, under * )iie name or another. The prepara- ? ory work is stated with more or less * 'ullncss hy all tho colleges, except ( \nderson, Limestone, Newberry, and i lie Woman's College, of Duo West. ' "Seventeen of the colleges publish < heir student rolls hy classes or years. 1 Anderson, Lander and Limestone are . he only colleges which do not give his information. "The following colleges give in :heir catalogues the school from ( which each freshman enters: Clem- 1 ion, Coker, College of Charleston, Co- 1 umhia," Erskine, Newberry, ITniver- 1 dty, Winthrop. Wofford and Woman's College, of Duo West. The College I )f Charleston and Newberry College I ?ive the school from which every stulent In the college has come. Erskine L?ives the same information for the sophomore class in addition to thel freshman class. Tho school from which a pupil has boon entered is not often given by Anderson, Chicora, the Citadel, College for Women, Converse, Furman, Greenville Female College, Lander, Limestone, or the Presbyterian College of South Caro-I liu?2. "The following colleges publish a requirement of 14 standard units for regular admission to the freshman class for the year 1913-14: Anderson, Chicora, Columbia, Converse, Greenville Female College, Lander and Wofford?seven out of twenty. Tho College for Women and Newberry publish a requirement of 13 units for admission to the freshman class. The Presbyterian College of South Carolina and tho Woman's College of Duo West require 12 units. Limestone does not state its mini-l mum requirements. Tho remaining eight colleges require from 10 to 1 1 units. In addition to these aggregate requirements, two or these colleges require 4 units in English, one requires 3 in English, sixteen require 3 in English, and the remain-J ing college requires 2 V6 units. In mathematics one college requires 3 units, eleven require 2 % units and tho remaining colleges from 2 V6 I units down to 1. In Latin four colleges require from 2 % units down to 2. The Citadel and Clemson have no I Latin requirements." ! It will bo noticed that Wofford College is tho only male college in this State that requires 14 units for entrance in the freshman class. Newberry College comes next with thirteen units. Tho College of Charleston, South Carolina University and other male colleges in this State requires from ten to eleven and a half units for entrance into their freshman classes. This gives Wofford the highest curriculum of any male college in tho State, with Newberry a ! close second. All the male colleges in the State should raise their standards to fourteen units. Hitter Strike Ended. The strike of the employees of the Indianapolis Traction and Terminal Company was settled late Frida> through tho efforts of Governor Samuel M. Ralston. The employees won their demand for arbitration, hut nothing is said about recognition ol the union and terms of settlement When a man confronted with some difficulty says it can't bo overcome and gives up without trying he if bound to bo a failure. Men have ae complished great results by attempt ing the impossible. Many an appar ently impossible task has proved quite easy of accomplishment when undertaken with courage and resolution.

Fifteen persons were killed and nore than a hundred injured, some >f them fatally, early Thursday when hree coaches of a Central of Georgia mssenger train left tho rails at a >oint seventeen miles south of Euaula, Ala., and plunged down a stoep mibankment. The train, which conlisted of five cars crowded with ex ursionistB, was en route from Ozark. \la., to Enfaula, where a Fair is hong hold. Tho Identified dead are: Pomp Utsoy, Clayton, Ala.; Monrle Floyd, Clayton, Ala.; Miss Bonnie Trock, Clio, Ala.; Mrs. Curl) Hell, Mnvton, Ala.; Mrs. Laura Wilkinson, Mio, Ala.; Mrs. Wilbur McLean, Clio; VIrs. Alto Adams, Elamville, Ala; ^ack Peak, Clayton, Ala.; child of B. F. Brock, Clio, Ala.; Lennie Fryer, logro, Clio, Ala.; Maude Mcltae, ne?ro, Clio, Ala.; Brown, negro, Clio, \la. The fatally injured are: Wash McRae, Clio: Mrs. W. J. Kendrick, Clayton; Irene Roundtree, aged 2, Louisville, Ala. A broken rail is said to have been [he cause of the accident. As the crowded excursion train rounded a mrve the three cars at the rear, lit>rally packed with passengers, suddenly left the track and breaking away from tho others dashed down [ho steep embankment. The wrecked coaches practically were demolished. Shrieks and groans of the injured rose above the rending crash of splintering timbers. Occupants of tho two coaches which remained on the rails immediately bent their efforts to rescuing the hundreds who were caught in the tangled mass of wreckage. Word of the disaster quickly reached Clayton, Ala., threo miles away, and relief trains, bearing surgeons and nurses, were dispatched from O/.ark and Eufaula, where most of the dead and injured later were taken. Many of tho victims were cared for at Clayton, where citizens turned their residences into emergency hospitals. Every physician within a radius of many miles hurried to the scene of the wreck and assisted in caring for the injured. So large was the number of victims, however, that available space at Clayton soon was exhausted and many had to bo plac ed on cots on porches and In front yards. Because of the isolation of the place where the wreck occurred, and the confusion which prevailed, identification of tho dead and injured was slow. Thursday night many of the injured were carried to Eufaula from Clayton, those suffering most being rushed to local hospitals by a special train. Others were transported by automobiles, carriages and other vehicles. A majority of tho injured sustained painful scratches and bruises from splintered woodwork and cuts from flying glass. There were many, however, who suffered broken bones and similar hurts of a dangerous nature. Railroad officials have issued a statement in which they ascribed tho wreck to a broken rail. It was announced that an investigation will be Instituted at once by officers of the Central of Georgia, with a view of definitely fixing the blame for tho accident. TYPHOON SWEPT GUAM. News of Great Storm on Island Ite coived In Washington. First news of a great typhoon which swept the islan dof Guam and threw tho Collier Ajax ashore Thursday came to tho navy department in a report from Lieut. Commander Alfred W. Hinds, governor ol tho island and commandant of the naval station there. Hospital Steward Georgo M. Nicholson was drown ed. Tho storm demolished native houses and destroyed roads, wharves lighters and telegraph and telephone lines. Tho collier was severely dam aged, but her hull is intact. As iiei machinery can not be repaired a Guam, tho commander of tho Af.!ati? fleet probably will send a vessel t< tow her to Olongapo. Cicero said "a scensual and intern perate youth hands out a worn-ou body to old ago". Young men, di< vou ever think of this wise sayini of Cicero. It Is true.

Thrilling Tales of Kewuo Ko|H>rt<Hl. The BhoreH of Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie Tuesday night were strewn with the wreckage of a threedays' gale and snow storm, which cost the lives of probably three score persons, turned bottom up in midlake a 3 00-foot vessel with its crew, wrecked or grounded numerous other craft and caused a property loss as yet unestimated, hut which will run into the millions. Details of the storm, which swept from the western end of Lake Superior, eastern shore of Lake Erie, became known only Tuesday, when survivors began arriving in various ports with tales of hardships and heroic rescues seldom equalled on the Lakes. On land tin1 storm hit hardest at Cleveland, O., where twenty-four inches of snow fell, five persons were killed and ten others lost, and where OOP damage was caused to property, chiefly telephone and telegraph systems, thus keeping that city out of direct communication for two days. The death toll of the storm on the Great Lakes, with many ports unreported, follows: Twenty-five, perhaps forty, men probably drowned in the overturning of a freighter found floating in Lake 11 uron. Five bodies washed ashore at St. Joseph, on the Canadian side of Lake Huron, (four had belts marked "Wexford" and one wore a belt marked "London"). Three bodies washed ashore on the west shore of Lake Huron. Two bodies washed ashore opposite the position of the overturned boat. Six members of a lightship drowned in Lake Erie near Buffalo, N. V. It was impossible even to estimate tho loss to vessels wrecked or damaged by grounding. Shippers in Detroit estimated the loss in Lake Huron and in the Detroit and St. Clair rivers alone to be several hundred thousand dollars. Three of the wrecked steamers Increase the loss by $5,000,000, while the scores of smaller craft driven ashore In Lake Superior and Lake Uric will send the total much hieher. The important mishaps to vessels were: Unidentified 300-foot steel freighter, floating bottom up in Lake Huron, a few miles south of Port Huron. Lightship No. 82 in Lako Erie off Port Albino, fifteen ?miles west of Buffalo, with crew of six. believed lost; lifeboat found floating bottomup in wreckage of ship floated into Buffalo harbor. Steamer L. C. Waldo, of Pay Transportation Company, Detroit, torn to pieces by storm Friday night and pounded against the rocks on ("lull Rock, Manltou islands; captain and crew of twenty-five men and two women, rescued. Vessel valued at $300,000; total loss. Steamer Turret Chief, of the Merchants' Mutual Line, Ontario, went to pieces on the rocks six miles east of Keweenaw Point, of Lake Superior, before daylight Saturday; crew of seventeen rescued, loss $100,000. Unidentified vessel wrecked on rocks at Angus Point, Isle Royle, Lake Superior. Among the frail craft jeopardized, but saved, was the Santa Maria, a] reproduction of the Columbus' Caravel, which was bound from Chicago to San Francisco. It was driven into a mud bnnk near Krie. nv crum Tvn\m ? South Carolina Senators Have No Hard Feelings. Both of tho South Carolina senators were callers at tho White House Wednesday and saw the president, j but at different times. Tho personal relations between tho senators are ' now quito pleasant, and there is no doubt that Senator Smith is gratified ^ it tho statement recently made by Senator Tillman, declaring that tho iunior senator has served his State well and ought by all means to bo reelected. There is no evidenco, how! ever, that tho deadlock over tho dis' 'rict attorneyship and marshalship is any nearer a solution, and it may continue until the chances of tho adr dlttonal Federal district bill are definitely decided at tho rogular session ^ of Congre??. ?

H1TKKTA STANDS ALONK. Soon Must Realize Tlmt World is A list Hi in. Miguel Covarrubias, former Mexican Tnlnister to Russia, is quoted by The Daily Chronicle, of I/ondon, as being of the opinion that Gen. H-uerta soon will be forced to understand I that he lacks the support of civilized countries and this, together with tho growing strength of the constitutionalists, will impel him to seek a way out of tho difficulty for himself. At present, says Senor Covarrublas, while Gen. Huerta believes ho possesses real power, he regards leaving his post as an act of desertion. Tho ex-minister considers that Venustiano Carranza would make a good president, but that Igleslas Colderon would bo the best man for tbo position. Questioned concerning President Wilson's policy, Senor Covarrublas said ho believed the president was guided by very statesmanlike motives and that his policy was practical rather than idealistic.
