Senator Smith got at the bottom oi
the matter. He was told that unti

AMERICANS ROUT
FORCES OF VILLA
Juarez.?How American troops
scattered the Villa rebels, caused
them to walk barefooted over the
white sands of Northern Chihuahua
and destroyed their morale, was told
to Gen. Francisco Gonzales at military
headquarters by Villa's telegraph
operator, who escaped at Villa
Ahumada. This man is a military
prisoner here and his name is withheld.
| After the pursuit by Colonel Horn
brook's cavalry, horses were abandoned
in the sand wastes, men
lropped from their saddles and die I
I oi. the desert from wounds or exhaustion
and wounded officers and
men suffered alike for lack of medical
attention, he said.
The operator said he was impressed
by Villa at Coyame, Chihuahua
last September. He was stationed
with Villa's staff during the battle
of Juarez and told General Gonzales
many details of the battle which had
been unknown here. He said, Ticolas
Fernandez, a leading general,
was shot in the arm Sunday night
and went until Monday night without
medical attention. Ildefonso,
Sanchez, another Villa general, was
shot in tho foot. Martin Lopez's
command of 500 was reduced to 200
by the fighting in Juarez and the
shrapnel shells of the American artillery
near the race track, the men
declared.
Villa headquarters, the operator
said, reached Samalayuca 30 miles
south of Juarez at 4 o'clock the Monday
afternoon after the crossing of
the American expedition and Colonel
Hornbrook's men were at San Jose, a
short distance north when the pursuit
was abandoned. He said he saw
j Gen. Felipe Angeles supervising' the
I tearing- up of railroad tracks at Samalayuca
to hamper pursuit. He said
Villa's own body guard then had less
than 125 rounds of ammunition per
man while many of the troops had
none.
Colonel Martinez, a Villa officer,
wounded during the Juarez battle
and hidden in a house in the Juarez
valley, sent a courier to General Gon
zales last night saying he was dying
and wished to give important information.
General Gonzales hurried
there in his automobile but the Villa
officer died before he could make a
statement.

CONWAY, S. P., THURSDAY
ESTABLISH GLASSES
IN HOME HYGIENE
An Important Move in Modern
n i i ixi- n
- rroyress in neann rreservation.
The Red Cross is seeking to establish
classes in Home Hygiene and
care of the sick in every chapter in
the Southern Division, as well as in
every High School, in order that the
heath of the people may be preserved
by preventive measures, as well as
by knowledge of what to do when illness
actually occurs, and how best to
supplement the efforts of the physician.
While this is the direct aim of all
nursing classes the system is even
more far reaching than is indicated
by the mere statement of facts, and
the education of the women, of the
community in health. Serves to
check infant mortality, by giving
advice to expectant mothers as we 1
as instruction in the care of babies
and small children; the prevention of
avoidable diseases caused by certain
l:iniU fif nffiinatinn iv; pppnm.
panied; domestic emergencies and
epidemics are met and combated as
fa) as possible, and high standards
of health are set in the community
by giving intelligent instruction in
health requirements.
The lied Cross courses consist of
fifteen lessons covering the following
subjects: 1. Causes and Prevention
of Sickness; 2. Health and the
Home; 3. Babies and their Care; 4.
Indications of Sickness; 5. Beds and
Bed Making; 6. Equipment and
Care of the Sick Room; 7. Baths and
Bathing; 8. Appliances and Methods
f\3r *the Sick'"Room; 9. Feeding the
Sick; 10. Medicines and other Remedies;
11. Application of Heat, Cold
and Counter Irritants; 12. Care of
Patients with Communicable Diseases,
13. Common Ailments and Emergencies;
14. Special Points in the
Care of Children, convalescents,
chronic and the aged; 15. Questions
for review of the course.
nil __ i L
inese courses are conuucieu uy
instructors sent out from the Department
of Nursing of the Southern
Division on application of the Chapter
and the cost of such an instructor
is properly declared to be a legitimate
use of the chapter funds. Text
books arc also furnished and are the
property of the student purchasing
them. The local chapter is putting
this course in the Horry County
Summer School for the benefit of the
County teachers. It is hoped thai
the school as a body wiil avail itsell
o? this opportunity, the chapter will
pay all expenses. The course will be
conducted from July 28 to August J
This date will be a good time foi
the women of the town to form a
class as the expense would be lessened,
a teacher being able to condud
three classes at a time. A class
consists of 15 to 20 women, or girls
taking lessons 1 1-2 hours each three
or four times a week. The cost ol
the course, for others than the Sum
mer School pupils and teachers, wil
be $8.00 per person, and text book
which cost fifty cents. Anyone wisl
I ing to take the course will pleas<
notify Mrs. W. A. Freeman ' at ai
early date.

ENEMY ALIENS SAIL '
FROM CHARLESTON
Thousand Leave on Transport
for Germany After Peace
is Signed
Charleston.?Some two hours after
the news had been flashed by cable
and over the wires that the Germans
had signed the peace treaty, nearly
1.000 Germans, including women and
children, left Charleston aboard the
transport Martha Washington to return
to their country, by way of
Rotterdam, to which port the ship
is bound.
The transport proceeded down
Cooper River from the port terminals
and through the bay to the
jetties at smart speed, and no tears
were shed by spectators along the
waterfront at the departure of the
repatriates. The bells of St.
Michael's Church chimes were ring'
ing, but neither in celebration of
' peace signing nor in jubilation over
getting rid of this batch of aliens.
The old bells were observing the time
honored "Carolina Day" anniversary.
Much indeed has happened on
June 28 with today's events, and for
Charleston particularly was the day
interesting, with the signing of the
peace, the anniversary of St. Peter
Parkers defeat and the ridding of
the .country of about 1,000 German
aliens. As the transport steamed
rapidly by the city piers, groups of
Germans could be seen of her decks,
but more prominent were the armed
marines standing guard, and the
Stars and Strpies floating overhead.
A lane of 18 destroyers was passed
through by the ship on her way out
to the' ocean, and the guns of Fort
Sumter- and Fort Moultrie frowned
down' upon the passengers in grim
admonition.
The departure of the transport was
delayed, awaiting the arrival of 2(57
Germans from Fort Douglas, Utah.
These prisoners came across the
country under heavy guard in cars,
the windows of which were nailed
open a tew incnes. a cnecK 01 passengers
was made every 20 mniutes
to prevent any "missing" of Germans
1 on this trip. Many paroled Germans
came in advance of the sailing and
their baggage was heavy, large sup
plies of canned and other foods bc'
ing prominent in their belonging.?.
Early next week the Princess Matoi'
ka will take nearly 2,000 Germans
1 across from Charleston, and two other
trips are said to be planned from
here.

this time, as with experience and
better foresight gained by the first
school, the teachers were able to lay

courses of training and study. The
hotel was crowded from the beginning

within a few yards of the spot
in the same hall where William I had
himself crowned Emperor of Germany
and where the German Empire
was proclaimed.
The hall was crowded when the
German delegates, Foreign Minister
Mueller and Colonial Minister Bell
entered and took their seats at 3:08
o'clock. Mueller was first to sign, at
3:12. Bell was next. President Wilson
signed at 3:14, then Premiei

TOBACCO MARKETS TO
OPEN ON JULY 15TH
I \
With Fine Prospects for a Most
Successful Season of
Business
WAREHOUSEMEN MEET
DECIDED ON SATURDAY
Crops All Over Horry County
Promise Biggest Yield
County Ever Produced
The tobacco markets in Horry
County will be oper for sales on
i Tuesday, July 15th. The warehousemen
met in Rlullins on last Saturday
to decide the day for the opening
sales. The delegates from Conway
returned and announced that the
opening sales would take place on
July 15th.
The warehouses in Horry County
are: Horry Warehouse, Peoples Brick
Warehouse, Farmers Warehouse, and
Planters J^obacco <Sr Storage Warehouse;
those at Loins are: Loris Tobacco
Warehouse, Standard Tobacco
Warehouse, and Farmers Tobacco
Warehouse. Those at Aynor are:
Farmers' Warehouse, J. T. Shelly,
Manager; McGhee's Warehouse, A.
P, McGhee, Manager; and Holliday
& LaRouque's Warehouse. All of
these warehouses expect to be open,
and conduct opening sales on July.?..
15th.
There Is big crop in Horry County
this year. All of the * warehouses
will have a big business, because . .
there is enough of the weed now maturing
to make moie than enough
business for all of them. They will
all be crowded to the limit as things
appear now. On nearly every farm
in Horry County there is growing
from two to eight or twelve acres as
fine plants as this county ever produced.
Farmers all over the county
are putting in the sand lugs or bottom
leaves and curing them out with
careful attention.
The eastern part of South Carolina
is said to have a great advantage
over Eastern North Carolina and
Virginia this year in producing a
fine crop. This is one of the reasons
advanced by some of the tobacco men
for saying that the prices realized
for the Horry County tobacco are
bcund to be high. One warehouse
man the first of this week said that
the buyers would almost fight this
year to get hold of the Horry County
leaves.
i ne curing season would nave been
on in full if the dry weather of a
short time a pro had continued the
truth is that the rains of last week
brought out the plants to a wonderful
extent and they went back to
growing- after turning green again.
This will make the end of the tobacco
season later than it would have
been.
