LEE'S GRAND-DAUGHTER
CHEERED BY VETERANS
One Day's Proceedings at the
Veterans Reunion
Last Week.
At Camp Stuart at Richmond last
Thursday where thousands of veterans
were quartered, the first tragedy
of the reunion occurred when W. A.
Hampton, of Appomattox,, Va., dropped
dead of appoplexy. Hampton was
a federal veteran, guest of Appomattox
camp of Confederate veterans. He
was stricken at breakfast and die 1
soon afterward in the camp hospital.
Inclemency of the weather forced
hundreds of the older veterans to remain
in the camp under care of
physicains and more than a score
were being cared for in the camp hospital.
Despite the rain Richmond's streets
resounded with martial music through
out the day. Arrival of 3,000 troops
of the State militia and cadets of the
Virginia Military Institute who participated
in the parade enlivened the
sombre day.
At the convention of the United
Sons of Confederate Veterans, William
Jennings Brandon, of Little
Rock, Ark., was elected commander

Veterans assembled in convention
hall cheered for Miss Annie Carter
Lee, granddaughter, of Gen. Robert
L. Lee. Miss Lee, attired in black,
appeared on the platform as the sponsor
of the South accompanied by Miss
Sarah Morris Leech and Miss OUic
Gertrude McLaurin, maids of honor.
It was Lee Day at the convention.
Gen. Carr, following reports by several
committees, brought the veterans!
repeatedly to their feet with a eulogy i
of the Confederacy.
"Not so long ago," said Gen. Carr, |
"there were many at the North to
deem us traitors, and 'Southern treason,
was the campaign cry of those
who marched under the folds of the|
'bloody shirt.' We are yet stigmatized
as rebels by some of our loyal compatriots.
To the latter epithet the
South has no very particular objections.
Wearers of the gray were again
brought to their feet in tumultuous
tribute to General E. M. Law, of Florida,
the only living' major general of
the Confederacy. General Law addressed
his comrades briefly, voicing.
pride that he was "the ranking officer
of the Confederate army."
The convention approved of a committee
appointed at the last convention
to award credit for designing the
Stars and Bars flag of the Confederacy.
Credit ofr its origin was given
to Major Orren Randolph Smith, of
Louisburg, N. C., thus settling a controversy
of many years standing. Approval
was given also to a report on
the Confederate Memorial Institute,
known as the Battle Abbey. The institute,
just opened here, embraces a
collection of permanent memorials of
the civil war.

A portion of the old building known
as the Todd house on 3rd Avenue, and
which was recently partially destroyed
by fire, has been torn down and removed
to the^site of another small
tenant cottage belonging to Messrs.
J. M. Stalvey & Co., and will be used
in building an addition to the other
dwelling. The house now being enlarged

FORGES OF RIGHTEOUSNE
3000 WORK BEING
The results of the evengelistic cam-j
paign in Conway have thus far exceeded
the exceptions of the most
hopeful. Services were held at the
brick warehouse every afternoon and
evening during the past week.
The services are well attended and
the earnestness of Evangelist A. H.
Griffith has carried conviction to the
hearts of his hearers.
Last Sunday closed the first week
of the campaign and saw one of the
largest crowds that ever attended
religious service* of any kind in Conway.
Many people came in from all j
sections of the county.
One feature of last Sunday's program
was the parade of all the Sunday
schools of the town. It was an inspiring
sight to witness such a large
crowd of men, women, and children
marching in line from the Baptist;
church to the warehouse.

President Wilson's warning' to Mexico
that the United States can not
permit present conditions to continue
went forward by telegraph the latter
part of last week to American agents
who will deliver it to tho factional
leaders, and was at the same time
made public at the White House.
The statement, which goes to C'arranza,
Villa, Hapata and Garra, the
principal leaders, not as a diplomatic
note from the United States but as a
declaration of President Wilson's exlll'PSSPfl

"For more than two years revolutionary
condtions have existed in
Mexico. The purpose of the revolution
was to rid Mexico of mm who ignored
the constitution of the republic, and
used their power in contempt of the
right of its people; and with these
purposes the people of the United
States instinctively and generously
sympathized. But the leaders of the
revolution, in the very hour of their
success have disagreed and turned
their arms against one another.
"All professing the same objects,
they are nevertheless unable or un?
v
willing to cooperate. A central autoMty
at Mexico City is no sooner set up
than it is undermined and its authority
denied by those who are expected
to support it.

drawn into unavailing bloodshed, and
no man seems to see or lead the way
to peace and settled order. There is
no proper protection either for her

ELIZA DAVIS COLORED
UNDER SERIOUS CHARGE
That She Burned .the Dwelling
of L. M. Martin During
Court Week
TRIED TO GET REVEMGE
FOR REPORTING HUSBAND |
Sheriff Tracked Woman to
House and Fitted Shoes
Into Tracks.
Before clay ligf'nt or. Friday morning1
of court week the lv>m ? of Mr. and
Mrs. L. M. Martin near Conway was
burned to the ground, the inmates
barely escaping with their lives, and
everything they posessed in the world
destroyed in the flames. Suspicion
led to Eliza Davis, the wife of Jim
Davis colored. Sheriff J. A. Lewis
was called out to the place. Tracks
were followed from the burned house
to the home of Jim Davis about Loo
yards away. Eliza Davis was made
to take off her shoes and they were
fitted into the tracks whiih had been
found loading from the house and
back again. On this evidence and the
evidence of threats made by her the
negro woman was arrested and a preliminary
was held in the case the latter
part of last week with the result
that the woman was bound over for
trial to the court of General Sessions.
The purpose of Eliza Davis in committing'
this dastardly deed was apparently
revenge. Jim Davis, her husband
was tried that week in the court
for selling whiskey. It appears that
a sister of Mrs. Martin, Miss Ida
Barnhill, resided at the time witk.Mr*
and^ Mrs. Martin. She saw signs of the
liquor traffic going on from day to
day at the house of Jim Davis. One
day a member of the. grand jury passed
there in an automobile and the
young lady laid this information before
him, and this became known. Jim
was convicted and was in jail. On
the night of the day on which Jim
Davis was convicted, this house was
burned if i? K.t iru-v..
The inmates of the house were
awakened just in time. The five had
been sot under the house near the
place where the kitchen stove was located.
The flames had gained such
headway that nothing could be done
to save the house. The house belonged
to Col. I). A. Spivey. *

New Mayor Sworn in.
On last Friday evening, following

great powers of the world can recognige
and deal with, a government
with whim the program of the revolution
will be a business and not merely
a platform.
"1 therefore, publicly and very solemnly
call upon the leaders of factions
in Mexico to act, to act together,
and to act promptly for the relief
and redemption of their prostrate
country, I feel it to be my duty to tell
them that if they can not accommodate
their differences and unite for
this great purpose within a very
short time, this government will be
constrained to decide what means,
should be employed by the United
states in order to help Mexico herself
and save her people."
The statement, drawn up after yesterday's
cabinet meeting, was prepared
for issue early today but was
delayed until afternoon by some minor
changes made in conference between
the President and Secretary
Bryan. While it was being given out
at the White House it was being
flashed on its way to Consul Silliman
at Vera Cruz, the Brazilian minister
at Mexico City and Consular
Agent Carrothers, who will deliver it
to the leaders or factions with which
they deal.
