I' ?
Diplomats of Latin-America
' Confer With Secretary
About Mexico Trouble.
Washington. ?Armed factions in
0 Mexico are to be given one more op{
portunity to say whether they are
j ready to make an honest effort among
themselves to compose their differ\
ences.
|.n. mesHugt: expressing uie euncened
demand of North and South Amer
ica that there shall be a peace and
I restoration of constitutional government,
addressed to all the Mexican
political and military leaders, probably
will be dispatched within a few
days as one of the first results of
a conference at the state dot artment
at which the six ranking diplomats of
"the Pan-American legation corps participated
with Secretary Lansing at
the invitation of President Wilson.
B WJiile the appeal will be made to all
B the Mexican leaders, it will be intendH
ed especially for Gen. Carranza and
H his followers, who oppose another
peace convention.
It was disclosed that President WilH
son was in close touch with the
B Latin-American nations, who have
urged that the United States take the
lead in a strong position toward MexH
ico'Tind in this informal way have
pledged their support to a Pan-Amer
ican concert of action. Today's con
ference was given over almost entire
Ily to hearing a report of conditons
by Paul Fuller, Sr., of New York,
who spent several months in Mexico
as President W ilson's personal representative.
It was understood the
gntyml wck was laid for further action
tomorrow when the conference
will be resumed which will constitute
the first of a succession of moves to
end three years of revolution.
STORE AT ALLEN

I Id OLLLMiU UUI
In this issue of the paper is a half
page advertisement of Trexler Lumber
Co., showing that their store located
at Allen, S. C., will sell out its
entijj^ stock at wholesale cost, beginning
on Monday week, August 16th.
This company is ready to back up
their claim as to the prices at which
I they are offering these goods as being
at actual wholesale cost. The reason
ff<r discontinuing the store is the fact
that times have grown hard and they
)find it necessary to discontinue the
(Andfrantile business for the reason
the business done does not justify
|flj keeping the store open except for the
purpose of getting rid of the goods at
^B what they cost the company to buy
^B them. Be sure to visit Allen during
^B this sale and get the benefit of these
^B low prices.

MEXICAN TROUBLE
TAKES WAR SHIPS
Commander McNamee, the senior
\merican naval officer at Vera Cruz,
las asked the navy department to
send a battleship squadron to guard
igainst anti-foreign demonstrations,
vhich he fears.
The battleships New Hampshire and
Louisiana, now at Newport with the
\tlantic fleet were ordered to prepare
it once to get to Vera Cruz but if the
jmergency should become pressing the
battleship Connecticut, now in Haitien
i. 1 l i i i
outers and aoout two days sail across
;he gulf would be ordered, to join
Commander McNamee.
The Connecticut could reach Vera
3ruz several days ahead of the New
Hampshire and the Louisiana.
Commander McNamee's report , did
tot give details but officials here beieve
the anti-American feeling which
le reported is a direct outgrowth of
Pan-American negotiation in Washington
for the adjustment of differences
between the factions.

TOBACCO MARKET
, WELL AT CONWAY
The Conway tobacco market has
had sales every day in the week except
Saturday. Large quantities of
the weed are being sold every day, but
the .farmers are holding back to some
extent especially as to the better
grades. The prices so far have been
fairly well, and much better than was
expected under the circumstances.

RUSSIAN ARMIES i
1
STILL IN DANGER
The armies of Grand Duke Nicholas,
after evacuating Warsaw, are
not yet out of the mesh spread by
the Germans to cut off their escape
to the eastward, Russian officials reports
indicate. It is declared a large
part of Ijtussjan army remained j
close to the Polish capital to congest j
any effort of the Germans to cross ^
the Vistula in pursuit. I
The Russians, it is stated, stationed ;
artillery on the right bank of the Vis- 1
tula to prevent the rebuilding of the ,
Vistula bridges by the Germans and ^
this is borne out by the Berlin official
communication which declares the ^
Russians continue to bombard War- j
saw from Praga on the eastern banK
of the river.

Every fanner who brings to Conway
a load of tobacco, cotton or other
produce will realize by thinking just
a minute, that the very best thing for
him would be the building of good
roads all the way from his home to '
the markets; so that he could bring
nearly twice or three times as much
at a load and still have less wear and
tear on his mule and wagon.

I
Purpose is to Market Crops
Intelligently and For
Mutual Help.
There was a called meeting here
ast Saturday at the county court
louse of the strawberry growers of
Conway township for the purpose of
organizing an association for mutual
advantage. The growers met and
formed a temporary organization with
temporary officers. A committee on
oy-laws was appointed to draft suitable
by-laws for the association and
present them for consideration at the
next meeting.
The next meeting was fixed for
Saturday, August 28th at 3 o'clock P.
VI., at the court house. At this meeting
the association will be permanently
organized. The main purpose is to
render mutual aid in marketing the
lerry crop each year, and in other
ways help each other in a common
ause. Every grower of Conway town
ship is especially invited to attend
:he next meeting.
Revenue officers were hot on the
trail of an illicit whiskey still in the
section near Little River on the border
line between this county and North
Carolina, and went to look for it the
atter part of the week, bat they came
sack empty handed.

MEXICAN BANDITS
GIVING TROUBLE
Brownsville.?Five Mexican bandits
and one Mexican woman were killed
in the fight Sunday at Norias, G8
t.iiles north of here. For an hour fifteen
Americans, eight of them United
States cavalrymen, stood off the attack
of sixty Mexicans. Five of the
Americans, including three soldiers,
were wounded. The fifteen were savid
from death, just as their ammunition
gave out, by ?he arrival of seventeen
Texas Rangers.

Cases at Long\
Magistrate H. C Gore was engaged
last Thursday in the haring of two
L-ases transferred to him from Magistrate
W A. Aflame Hnnrl f rrV??
hearings took place at the residence
of Mr. Gore at Longs postoffiee. The
^ases arose out of the charges contained
in two warrants. One charged
the violation of a contract and was
sworn out by Mr. L. P. Hardwick, and
the other was for trespass on real estate
and was sworn out by Mrs. Eula
Ray Grainger, the sister of the defendant,
Fred C. Bellamy. The warrants
were up for hearing in April before
Mr. Adams in Little River township,
but there was no trial the parties
on that day signing two agreements
IT* 1 I>~11 _ i
wiR-reuj' r ivu ueuainy tinci lvirs.
Grainger both agreed not to molest
one another in their affairs any more.
Just why the warrants were brought
up again was not fully explained, but
Magistrate Gore, after looking into
the cases decided that the warrant for
trespass
could not be brought up
again as it was settled at the former
hearing, and as to the warrant charging
breach of contract it was found
that the facts of the case were not
covered by the statutes provided for
Hich cases and under which the wa:
rant was taken out.
The work was started last week on
the new brick and concrete garage for
Harry G. Cushman. It is situate on
4th Avenue in rear of the commercial
hotel property. The building will bo
modern in all respects. H. P. Little
is the contractor.

It takes a good plant that is kept
good all of the time to enable a printer

We take pride in our plant
which is right to start with and wo
take pride in trying to keep it up to
the standard of efficiency. Give us a
trial order with your next printing
and we will do our best to show you
that this results in better work and on
shorter time. j

UA11 Lb I ROUBLES V
AT COUNTY LINE
Between Horry And Georgetown
Across Waccamaw
Neck at the Seashore
LINE ONCE MARKED
BY WIRE FENCING
Afterwards Sold by County to
Private Individuals and
Taken Away.
Recently there has been trouble
about cattle belonging to farmers near
the county line between Horry anrl
Georgetown where the line passes
through Waccamaw Neck, between
the Waccamaw River and Murrells
Inlet. Until this year there was no
clash so far as reported between
this line. This year however, when
stock wonders across the line from
this county into Georgetown, the
farmers over there and others, so it is
said, shut the cattle up and in several
cases the stock was threatened as being
subject to sale, and advertised,
and actually sold in one case. The
sale brought on a civil suit in the
magistrate's court which will come up
for decision.
This line years ago was protected
by a fence of barbed wire running all
the way from the river to the creek.
The fence was no doubt provided for
in some act of the Legislature passed
in relation to the stock law. The fence
remained there for a number of years
and then the county sold the fence
and it was removed.
Since that time the matter received
very little attention from anybody until
recently the stock was shut up in
several cases. As nobody paid any
attention to it, the acts of the Legislature,
if any existed making the
fence necessary, have been forgotten
and now everybody down there on
this side of the line is asking something
about it.
NEW REVOLUTION
STARTS IN HAITI
Washington, Aug. C.?A new revolutionary
disturbance at Gonaives, on
the western coast of Haiti, has been
reported to Rear Admiral Caperton
and he has dispatched the naval tug
Osceola with forces to protect the
customs house.
The admiral today reported the occupation
of Fort Nationale in Port Au
Prince by American forces without
resistance. The American marines are
quartered in the barracks.
Colonel Cole, commanding the ma*
vinos, landed from the battleship Connecticut,
is in military charge of the
town and Captain Peach has been assigned
to handle civil affairs. A session
of the Uaitien parliament to select
a President has been called for
Sunday.

BITTER RATTLE
At mm nnim
MS BUti SIlVtK
London, Aug. 7.?The German official
report tonight claims that the
Russian resistance has been broken
between Lomza and the mouth of the
Bug River. Thus, whether the Russians
have been defeated or have
fallen back voluntarily to a new position,
one of the bitterest battles that
has been fought since the beginning
of the war has ended.
For just three weeks the Germans,
under supreme command of Field
Marshal von Hindenburg, have been
trying to force this front on the Narew
river and to cut off the Russian
armies in their retreat from Warsaw.
o
The improvements at the Kingston
Hotel were about completed last week.
A large lobby has been completed on
the first floor and it adds much to the
convenience and pleasure of the hotel
guests.
