Though Reported Decisively Defeated and Driven Back Villa at Head General Carranza has notified the United States through Consul Silliman that he cannot agree to the neutralization of either Mexico City or the railroad from the capital to Vera Cruz. The Villa and Zapata au thorities had consented to both these suggestions, made by the American State Department. General Carranza refused to include Mexico City from the fields of operations on the ground that it is an j objective point in his military campaign. Military reasons also are given for the refusal to neutralize the railroad. A protest against a decree issued at Chihauhau providing for the for| feiture of mines on which taxes are not paid or on which development work is suspended beyond a fixed date has been lodged with Villa officials by the State Department. The department issued a statement tonight pointing out the hardships that would be imposed on companies in compelling them to operate their mines | when either the conditions of the work or the political situation 'would make | operation unprofitable. Information Lacking. Definite information as 1 to the progress of the campaign in the region of Iraquato in which General Villa is leading his troops in person against the Carranza forces i nder General Obregon, still are lacking late today. A report today from Consul Canada at Vera Cruz said news received there was interpreted by * Carranza officials as indicating that h decisive victory had been won. "It was intimated on the 8th" said the message, "that fighting was still in progress notwithstanding thai, the enemy had been driven northward 80 kilometers,' the statement adds. "The bells in Vera Cruz were rung Thursday afternoon to colebrate the reported victory." * Villa supporters here insist that private advices indicate that Obregon forces are in a desperate plight. o Gives Report. An official statement issued last Wednesday by the Turkish war office says: * - " "No serious attack was made yesterday by the enemy on the Darndanelles. The day before two hostile cruisers bombarded our batteries at the entrance to the straits, but without result. One of the enemy's cruisers and one torpedo boat were struck by our shells." o PENSION NOTICE. com ederate pensions now bring1 disbursed at the office of Clerk rtf Court.

Mr Editor:?As Mr. W. H. Lewis has seen lit to bring up what the people of Horry County had considered inhumed in the past as a case long ago decided, and as 1 see you offer him all needed space to further dis cuss the matter, I ask fqr space to explain a few points which, those latter days and his article briny; to light. He seems to be well pleased at the results of the trial but simply wants to give the Editor a littlo "brushing up" for an impartial report. In the first place what was the trouble with the Lewis boys if they were not drunk? What was it they drew from their pockets at different times during that day and held off which popped like pistols? Oh! where the carcass is there will the eagles be gathered togther. Where there is wine there is some one to go and hunt trouble, like the report went to show, as the Lewis boys came along on that Sunday passing some parties by the road, saying, "Come with us to Jim Todd's anil let's raise h?1 and kill some one today or be killed," so the report went. As to reputation of the Todds as users of intoxicants, will ask any one interested, who does, not know, to come in this section of the County and inquire if the Todds arc the only drunkards. The boys were seen at several places that day with pistols and roports of the weapons hoard us-welL Eibert Todd went to the gang for trying to defend his fatnAv'fi hnmo nt-irl nnvm( mn /-? ~ ..vuv| HUM lllll IMC IV OIIVO why: First the Todd's reputation as stated by the Editor; second, one of the jury, (while I do not attempt to question, the varacity of Mr. Lewis's statement that the jury was composed of some of the County's best men) had a relative connection not known at that time by.my attorney or myself, yet Mr. Lewis says, "Surely they could have had no feeling in the matter." There's the secret of the fact that Elbert Todd is today a convict and his wife and children being in the distressed condition they arc today. 1 have all good feeling for MiLewis and am satisfied at the verdict as I believe the jury knew their business and attended to it as best they could under the circumstances. This brings the old sentence to memory, being taught to, "Laugh not at your enemy's downfall.'" And it is useless to reiterate the fact that the Todd's are one short, also the Lewises, and if I and Mr. Lewis humor this passion, to hold out before the world enmity towards each other, and speak not to oach other in this body of clay, what conditions shall we meet at God's judgment bar in the final day. nVThat hideous picture" is still displayed if you look upon the convicted man's wife and children. Mr. Lewis's article might bq judged if looked at closely, to be more of the "future tense" than past recollections if some one will read tli9 iast paragraph. I shall not ask space for any further version of the matter, unless f 1 ? 1 steps of Mr. Lewis in the near future make it absolutely necessary, as I do not believein using space of a good newspaper to discuss wKat has long been decided by a jury and sealed bv a Judge, and placed on Court records.

" Secretary Daniels was determined last' week to raise the sunken submarine Ft-4 in Honolulu harbor no matter what the operation may eost. He wanted to learn the cause of the accident so as to avoid similar disasters in the future. This was made known after advices had been received from Rear Admiral Moore at Honolulu, which said that preparations were being made to raise the submarine by the pontoon method. This indicated that the submarine evidently was waterlogged and therefore too heavy to be raised by the equipment previously employed. Officials have already abandoned hope that any of the submarine crew of 21 men might be found alive. Secretary Daniels announced that in the event of the failure of efforts then being made to raise the submarine the Navy department would send the necessary enninmoiu tn miao !->??* ^ - -J J w . ?IV*?

On tho contrary, the secretary said that they were doing everything possible to raise the submarine. * o List of Guns Captured.
