President Wilson wrote to Govern- i or Whitman in answer to a letter from the New York executive regard ing the New York militia organizations on the border. The President told Mr. Whitman that it was impossible to set a date on which the remaining New York militiamen there could be released. The I'resident in his letter declared he had been advised by the War Department that a withdrawal of the militia at any time since they were sent to the border "would in all liklihood have been followed by fresh aggressions from Mexico upon the lives and prop erty of the people of the United States." In his letter the President paid a high tribute to the character of the militiamen on the border and denied that any organizations were being kept there to porfcet their military trainiag. .< , * * MANNING "FIRES" NOTARIES Governor Manning has revoked tho licenses of fivo additional negro no taries public, in conformance with his policy of not appoinitng negroes to office .

C.?An organization composed of 280,000 dairy- | men and breeders of dairy cattle are j conducting an advertising campaign lit an expense of $20,000 a anonth. The campaign is to continue on this plane over a period of thirty-six months. The object is to tell the whole nation about the food value of lairy products, the wholesomeness of this food, and to encourage a wider jse of milk, butter, cream and i cheese. When 280,000 men all agree j that the way to sell their goods is to j i , ? ? Kiverti.se, and when they unite to the' ?xtent of establishing a $720,000 to ?750,000 fund to carry on this adver-1 .ising, we must be impressed with J ;he magnitude of the scheme, and we *re forced to the realization that ;hese men mean to accomplish some-hing.

' i . V V * ? |?V.! vo il I I \ l I I." J V'V * tion of all the state department'.* contentions. The note was made public by th state department tonight. Tho note, in effect, admits in principle, but denies in practice, tlie immunity of mail, which is recognized in international law. Great Britain imd France assert they have tin light to inspect American mails while seeking both contraband and one my correspondence. Note Combats Arguments. The conflict arising between tho belligerent right to search for contraband and the neutral right recognized by the law of nations in the in violability of mail is part of the controversy. The reply combats every argument used by the state department in its attempt to maintain for the United States respect for this country's rights on the high seas. In virtually admitting the right of tl\e United States, Great Britain declares it can not be enforced.' The reply is a challenge to this government, as it is generally regarded as being the final word of the British and French governments or^ th# ?u\j? jeet. Th? tw? allied gof^rnmentfl claim the right to diyext neutral mail ships from their caurse and take them into allied ports for the purpose of inspecting, censoring or confiscating mail matter. This claim the United States ha? repeatedly denied, in the instance of deflection of ships with cargoes as well as of ships with mails. It has been denounced as unwarranted Intcrefercnce with American rights and as a complete denial of rights guaranteed by both the custom* and the laws of nations.

A car load id* fat hogs was shipped firm this point to Richmond. Ya., last week by Mr. I). V. Richardson, from his farms at Bucksport. The number contained in the car was sixty-six, all of them being: the finest porkers ever seen in this section of the Stale, and the finest livestock of the kind ever raised in this county ami shipped to a distant market. They averaged from lot) to 250 pounds in weight and were all of the Berkshire breed. The lot netted more than one thousand dollars and resulted in a good profit to the owner. .Mr. Richardson has 125 head more that will be ready for shipment between now and March 1st, 1017. He intends to ship them to the same market. All of the hogs contained in the car last week wer$ less than one. ear eld. <4> ' These facts are published for a double reason and to serve a double purpose. First as a news item showing the opening of a new industry for this section of the State and that there in money to be made hv - ?^ farmers in other ways than by raising cotton, tobacco, irish potatoes, or strawberries. Anil in the second it is intended to show others what still others are doing and point the way ta new opportunities on the part of those who arc not now engaged in this evidently profitable industry. What one man succeeds at can also be accomplished by another of equal ability once he has the knowledge of the situation. o ; VILLA'S MAIN BODY MOVING NORTHWARD Villa's main body is moving northward along the line of the Mexico Northwestern railway toward Madera, according to reports received at field headquarters.
