LOANS TO BE FORCED
dent Wilson's Message Arouses
t\>n.sidornhlo Interest in Mexico?
Conviction in Mexican Capital That
Ncitlicr Intervention Nor Lifting
lOmbnrgo Would he Urged.
While most of the latest dispatches
from Mexico are full of hope for the
Constitutionalists and express the
view that they are about to triumph,
it will he interesting to read a dispatch
from Mexico City giving the
Federal side of these recent development**.
Friends of (Jen. Huerta point
out why he is still able to keep an
army in tho field, although unsuccessful
in obtaining foreign loans.
Indiscriminate seizure of property
and excessive taxation are tho two
means by which the privisional president
hopes to overcome the ill effects
of President Wilson's financial blockade,
and thus lo continue a dogged
and effective resistance to the advance
of the Constitutionalists. The
following dispatcli was sent out from
Mexico City on the day President
Wilson's message was expected to go
to Congress. It gives a brilliant picture
of Mexican internal affairs as
t-hey are to-day, in the midst of war
and rebellion:
"The possible treatment of the
Mexican question by President Wilson's
coming message lias aroused
considerable interest among Mexican
government ofllcials, but there is a
notable absence of alarm because of
Ike deep-rooted conviction that neither
intervention nor the supplying of
arms and ammunition to the rebels
will he raised. The continuation of
the financial blockade will not bo regarded
by President, lluerta as a vital
blow to his administration, however
enfeebling it may ho. Anything short
of intervention or the supplying of
munitions of war to the rebels will
be regarded with comparative complacency
by the general who is prepared
to pursue a dogged course of
V?"> ai M t ?r> O dirniiiot liiu nnnmlno "1
though he realizes it moans indefinite
"war.
"Hut his friends point, out that,
although the government may bo
bankrupt the provisional president is
far from being without funds, and is
not likely to ho entirely without
money as long as private institutions
a?(1 corporations possess funds. They
are of the opinion that the president
will not fail, for the sake of what he
considers right, to resort to forced
loans. Indeed, persuasive methods
already have been used and in several
cases have borne marked similarity
to the forced loans.
"In the meantime there are many
men rated as millionaires and several
largo corporations whose properties
might be available for protective taxation.
There are millions to he had
for the taking, and Huerta's admirers,
declare he will he acting in accordance
with Justice and his duty to
the country if he utilizes this money
for defense. Special taxes have been
announced, which will become effective
immediately, and will net at least
Its,000,000 pesos ($17,500,000), annually
to the government. It would
be quito feasible, it is pointed out to
Augment this amount materially by
;he simple method of still further increasing
the taxes. No avenue which
night produce funds for the government
is being overlooked.
"For years the City Mexico was
[uown as a city where gambling was
?roatly restricted, but to-day there
vre many resorts of this class operatic
openly, and each Is paying its
|uoia in the shapo of license foes. It
a announced that all these gambling
rlacos will he closed temporarily, in
>r?3er that they may be reopened un,er
a new arrangement. It is undertood
that this arrangement will he
jranting of a concession to one con-1
prn for all the gambling in the city,
tils would make the collection of
tio tax more simple and certain.
"The confirmation is available of
ae recent report that the government
has obtained a 7,000,000 pesos
laa, nor is there evidence of any
larked optimism that further forIgn
loans will bo obtained. The
luiks will stand as the hope for
jiaI! loans from time to time.

Invisible Hoy llcnins Will Annihilate j

Invisible liglit waves that will. It is
alleged, annihilate the largest dreadnought
affoat or destroy a bomb-caryrying
aeroplane have been produced
by William Hurr (Jlbson, of Schenectady,
NT. Y. Tho instrument of production
is already in the possession
of tho United States government, and
is undergoing rigid tests. In a test
made by the inventor, before apply
ing for the patent, a charge of dynamite
was exploded live miles away.
The apparatus can bo carried around
by an ordinary man.
"Although I have not made actual
experiments with aeroplanes," said
the inventor, "the success which has
attended the other demonstrations
warrants mo in predicting that it will
as readily destroy war aeroplanes as
it will explode ordinary mines." Kxperats
declare it will revolutionize
warfare. With its aid, an invading
force could easily explode every mine
in its lino of progress, and destroy its
antagonist's defenses in a day.
"lly means of these invisible rays,"
said one, "a battleship would be
blown to atoms hy tho explosion of
its own magazines with no more power
than it takes to light an orinary
are lamp." The machine is extremely
simple, and is the result of seven
years' experimenting hy the inventor,
who is 2o years old. It consists of an
ordinar> arc light, two quartz lenses,
aiui seven coiorea screens. The device
is designed to concentrade and
project ultra-violet rays.
"When the ultra violet rays impinge
upon powder," said Mr. f!il>son,
"they cause a molecular action
which sets up friction. This produces
heat and causes the powder to
explode." l'.y directing the stream of
lifht upwards, any aeroplane carrying
bomhs would he destroyed. The inventor
himself has an ingenious idea
to destroy any of the enemy's aeroplanes
which are sent out without,
bombs, lie proposes to send up small
balloons with dynamite bombs attached.
These would bo exploded
near the Hying craft creating a vaccina
and capsizing the machines.

Florence Negro Tries to Scare Some

Robert "Wood berry and Eugene
Snow, two negro boys from near
Poston, wore brought in to Florence
Thursday night to ho held on the
charge of killing Jeter Snow, a crippled
negro, the brother of one of the
hoys hold for the killing. It seems
that the two hoys had been in a gypsy
camp and had been frightened by the
gypsies, and on coming homo had
thought it well to load up a gun and
put it by their bed to protect themselves.
Lato in the night the crippled
brother camo home, and pretending
to he a gypsy, possibly to
still further frighten them, called
out, "Let me tell your fortune." As
he entered the house ho left his
crutches outside, the first time he
was ever known to walk without
them, and entered the bed room of
the two boys. Robert reached for
the gun, and as Jeter came near the
bed llrod, tho load taking effect in
his neck, and tho powder burning his
body dreadfully. Tie died instantly.
No reason other than fright can be
given to account for tho killing.

A dispatch from Manning says a

a citizen of that section. Mr. Cubbago
came to Manning and gave himself
up to Sheriff Gamble. Mr. Cabbage
states that he started from his

gun under the buggy seat, and just
as he got out to the road he saw the
negro in a wagon with some sacks of
oats. Ho had had some trouble with
the negro on a former occasion, but
suspected nothing at this time. Just
as he says lie turned out of his avenue
into the road the negro drove a
short distance up tho rortd, stooped
behind the sacks of oats and attempted
to shoot, but. liis gun ssnapped.
Mr. Cubbage says be at once jumped
out of It is buggy, got his gun from
under the seat and loaded it, and as
Johnson raised up from behind the
oats in the act of unloading liis gun,
Mr. Cubbage fired, striking Johnson
in the face, and the latter falling

the flood situation in Central Texas
had bv Wednesday assumed serious
proportions. Within n territory two
hundred miles in length and one hundred
miles in width, practically all of
the lowlands are under water; approximately
15,000 persons have
been driven from their homes; scores
have been rescued from trcetops and
floating wreckage; several railroads
have been forced to suspend operations
and incalculable damage has
been dono to property.
Seven persons arc known to have
lost their lives. Wednesday five members
of the family of W. C. Polk, a
farmer, were drowned at Helton, and
H. K. Lacy and a man named Manley
late met a similar fate near Dallas.
Laoey was driving stock from an

horso became entangled in a wire]
fence and drowned. Manley lost bis
life while attempting to rescue marooned
victims at tlio village of
Grand Prairie.
Waco, on the Brazos Hiver and in
tlio centre of the flood area, Wednesday
reported the most serious sitiations.
Sections of that city are under
water and it is estimated that more
than 10,000 residents are homeless.
Property damage is estimated in excess
of $ 17a,000. Tlio military companies
stationed there have been ordered

MURE FOR COTTON

SAYS SMITH, IF I AHMFKS KXKW
TIIK VALl KS.
SENATOR IS WORKING
Mas Socurod MxpcriiiKMits by Government
Kxpcrts Wlu Are Making
Tests to Discover the Intrinsic
\ aluo of the Various Cotton Grades
So That the Farmer Can Get More.
Senator Smith Saturday spent several
hours at the department of agriculture
at Washington, where lie inspected
the progress of the experiments
being made to demonstrate the
intrinsic value of cotton, expressed
in terms of the relation of the various
grades to each other. The government
expert, Dr. Cobb, and his
corps of assistants are in constant
touch with the senator. They express
themselves as "satisfied with
the roults as far as we have gone."
Senator Smith had amazed these experts
by his technical knowledge of
cotton.
At the last session of congress the
senator secured a special appropriation
of $16,000 to conduct these experiments,
which will determine the
waste, the tonsil strength and the
blenching quality expressed in rela
ii\?- vd i urr> i w cl?> iJUbUU UU IIIO
ofllcial government grades. Senator
Smith, in commenting on the experiments,
said:
"lielieving, as ! do, that every producer
of a staple product for the market
is entitled to know, by every
means that the government can legitimately
expend, the intrinsic value of
what ho produces, I secured the appropriation
for this work. These experiments
will affect every department
of cotton, the manufacturer as
well as the producer. 1 want to educate
the farmer, as to what each
grade of cotton can he manufactured
into, and what is the actual value of
the cotton used in the conversion. I
believe that the farmer is capable of
taking care of himself provided he is
as well posted as is his buyer."
"The purpose of these experiments
is to make available the information,
which conveyed to the farmer, will
give him that knowledge necessary to
place him on a equal footing with the
buyer and the manufacturer of his
material, with reference to Its intrinsic
worth. All farmers know what
they lose on the off grades of cotton.
These experiments will show why
such conditions now exist. Although
the work is in an incomplete state,
sufllcient progress has been made to
reveal some starting results?and
every one of them are in favor of the
prod ucer."
"I want the government to issue a
bulletin to the farmers so they may
better learn the grades and the value
of tho grades expressed in relative
terms to each other. Now, by the
word 'valuo' I mean the real manufactured
worth of the grades?that
is, the tonsil strength, the bleaching
qualities, etc.
"I want to help the people to help
themselves?give the people prosperity?then
education and tho finer
arts will naturally follow. Prosperity
is tho keynote?for tho people all
know that education is power." Senator
Smith expects to havo these experiments
completed in a short time.
The government officials are interested
in the work under the supervision
of the senator and are pushing
the experiments to a successful end.

CAUSES SOMK COMMENT.
New York Papers Think Hloase Pardons
Too Ereely.
The wholesale pardoning of inankillers
l?y Governor Please on
Thanksgiving Day has caused much
comment on the part of the newspapers
of the country, and the action
of Clovernor Hlease in turning sixty
man-killers loose one day, two-thirds
of whom are negroes and one-third
white men, will not elevate the State
in the eyes of other people. Tho New
York World says:
"Clovernor Cole Hlease of South
Carolina pardoned one hundred convicts
yesterday. Twenty-eight of
them were serving life sentences for
murder and twenty-eight for manslaughter.
'I want 'em to eat Thanksgivin
dinner at home,' said the eminent
demagogue who turned them
loose. Tho fifty-six victims of these
fifty-six man-killers will not eat
Thanksgiving dinner at home. They
will continue to sleep the deep sleep
of tho grave. Even in South Carolina
the dead do not vote, and have
no voice in the election of a United
States Senator."
No, the poor fellows these mankillers
put in their graves have no
votes, and, consequently, Clovernor
Hlease has no sympathy to waste on
the widows and orphans the men he
has turned out of the penitentiary
made with their handy pistols.
Widows and orphans cast no ballots,
hut the men who made them widows
and orphans have, if they are pardoned,
and that is why Clovernor
Hlease turned these white and black
man-killers loose. lie expects to
make votes by it. Hut he should
lose more than ho gains by turning
these man-killers loose 011 the good
people of the St ate.
The cartoonists also take a hand
in showing how merciful Clovernor
Hlease is to tho man-killers and
especially the negro man-killers.
On Wednesday of last week ono of
the cartoonists of tlm Vow York- Sim
found inspiration for a drawing in
the Thanksgiving pardon proclamation
of the governor of South Carolina.
It is not a pretty picture,
showing as it does a vicious-looking
negro convict, garbed in stripes, a
pistol in one hand and his writ of
freedom in another, gazing with
adoration at a portrait labelled "Gov.
Cole L. Blease, of South Carolina,"
and supposedly singing, as the line
below suggests, "For he's a jolly
good fellow!"
Governor Blease will claim that
these references to his mercy in pardoning
man-killers is persecution.
But as a matter of fact are they?
Why should newspapers at the North
and West persecute Governor Blease?
What does the honest people of South
Carolina, regardless of who they voted
for in the last election, think of
the action of Governor Bleaso in
turning sixty man-killers loose on
them in one batch. Forty of these
liberated man-killers are negroes, the
very kind of negroes that commit the
crime for which they are put to death
without the aid of judge or jury.
Again we ask what does the people
think of the action of Governor
Blease in turning loose twenty white
and forty black man-killers in one
batch? We would warn tho people
to be on their guard.
