9 PAQg MOOT mexicanYseek NEWSPAPER AID | Medium Wanted for Propaganda Drive, and Action (., May Come. 1S j: ' i i t .Washington. ? Reported attempts the Mexican government to purchase the. support of American newspapers for spreading Mexican propaganda in connection with a recent defense of Mexican nolicv towards American oil operators issued by Gen. Candido Aguilar, son-in-law of President Carranza, have been called to the attention of the state department. The situation- is being1 watched by officials here. The Monterey (Mexico) organ of the Carranza administration, first to call public attention to it, said, in discussing the advisability of a propaganda campign in the United States: "Our chancellory should know all the details of this grave question, should sound all opinions and direct an active press campaign in the United States; this last is of the utmost importance. Not one thousand or one hundred thousand but a million pesos, il" it is necessary, should he spent in purchasing Yankee newspapers (there u;'e those that will not refuse the business), so that they will defend" us; and in subsidizing writers, of some prestige who wilt translate- the arguments which our own chancellory will give them. It is necessary to prepare in the very besom of the United States, a great part of public opinion in our favor, taking advantage, in order to do this, of the poiltical divisions between Democrats and Republicans." Regarding the policy. General Aguilar, just before he sailed for Europe, said "the only order issued has* been that the Mexican law be enforced." It was pointed out here General Aguilar must have referred to Article 27 of the Mexican constitution and the decrees of President Carranza to make effective that law. In official circles it was said this law decreed: "In the nation is vested legal ownership of petroleum and only Mexiicans by birth or naturalization have | the right to acquire ownership jn lands or to obtain franchises to develop mineral fuels in the republic of Mexico." o Conditions in Europe are not as bad as those faced by the South after the War Between the States. o High cost of building material and labor has brought about a condition at Winthrop College which may ex- ( elude from attendance on the institution some 100 pupils next year. BOOTLEGGERS HIDE LIQUOR IN LOCOMOTIVE'S TENDER Omaha, Neb.?Bootleggers almost eaused a" explosion of a Missouri Pacific locomotive today when labels off bottles of whiskey which they had stuffed into the locomotive tender flogged the hotter feed pipe. The train was No. 103, which left K&uaas City for Omaha. Near Oregon, Ma,, the engineer saw his boiler was ahaoofc en&pty, although the tender tank was full. The fireman dived into the tank, where he found fifty-six bottles of whiskey. The labels had become soaked off and had clogged the pipe. The bottles are supposed to have been hid in the tender at Kansas City, and would have been removed in Omaha. Had the discovery of the low water been delayed fifteen minutes the locomotive boiler would have exploded, the engineer said. ?= The thing 1 Therefore a promise on] \, THE HORRY HERALD, COW Charter No. 10536 Reserve District No. 0.

TOBACClTMARKETS I SCENES OF LIFE The throe tobacco markets, of this county will be busy scenes of life with the opening tobacco sales Tuesday. All of the warehouses, there being ten in the county, made extensive preparations for chcndlmg the large crop that is on hand in lie ivy this year. The warehouses will try to furnish plenty of help to handle the business, and there is every indication that the business done will be laiger than it has ever been before in the history of the industry in this section. All of the warehouses will be busy scenes almost every day until the season is all over several weeks nence. uuyers arc coming trom ai! of the bij*- companies and purchasing agencies to buy the leaf this county has produced. It is said that the crop is short in the other counties of this State, and also in many places in North Carolina. This should result in causing the buyers to want the Horry County leaves more than ever. No man knows what the prices will be as yet. This can be known only when the markets have actually opened and the buyers exercise their buying orders. Many think that the price is bound to be good. Owing to the experience that the growers have now had with the crop it would seem that a better grade than ever should be produced by them for sale this time.

BOLLWEHILMAN" VISITS SOUTH CAROLINA Clemson College.?Dr. W. D. Hunter, Chief of the Section of Southern Field Crop insect Investigations of the Bureau of Entomology of the U. S. Department of Agriculture, will be at the Farmers' Week meetings held at Clemson College during the third week of July. He expects to \'( ach Clemson on the 23rd and will very likely stay for a day or two to confer with farmers. He will address the meeting on the evening of July 23. This is a rare treat because Dr. Hunter is the pioneer of pioneers in boll weevil work. Although a scientist of high standing, he is an en tensely practical man. Dr. Hunter took charge of the boll weevil situation soon after this pest crossed the Rio Grande in 1892 and he has stayed with the work ever since and through these many years has relent lessly followed the weevil's trail. The cultural system now in use grew chiefly out of the work under his di irecvron ami now it appears that i traits of the weevil have been discovered that they may yet make him amenoble to poisons. Dr. Hunter has always had a deep interest in South Carolina and many years ago gave out estimates of what South Carolina might expect together with recommendations to mitigate the losses. Although the | weevil heretofore gave him no oppor tuntiy to visit South Carolna, he has i for more than twelve years given J direct assistance to this State in the control of southern field crop insects. The boll weevil is now with us and every farmer, merchant, banker, and other citizen interested in farming is urged to hear what Dr. Hunter has to say on the boll weevil situation in our State. Do nflt forget the date. I WAR Jen on July nd he will end right! start with us.
