Mexican News Anti-American demonstrations is northern Mexico continue, according to official. advices, particularly in'.the states of Chihuahua, San Luis Potol and Nuevo Leon. Americans are leaving Mexico in st'eadily increasing. numbers. Under the previous instructions, state depart mont agents in Mexico are giving every possible aid. In additqon border agents have been instructed to urge those seeking to return to Mexico to stay on the American side. . The spread of the anti-Americar agitation in Mexico may delay the sending of a reply to General Car ranza's note demanding recall of the - American troops. Creation of an in. ternational commission to discuss all difficulties is known to have been suggested, under existing treaties, and it Is understood the proposal is still before President Wilson. At El Paso, Texas, United States customs officials are warning Ameri cans that owing to conditions in Mexico, it is inexepdient to atteppi to visit the interior of that country. DOMESTIC An anti-American riot, incited by a mass meeting to protest against the continued presence of American troops in Mexican territory, was put down in Chihuahua City by the nlitary aftei a demonstration had been made against the American consulate and stones hurled at the Foreign club in the , belief that it was an American institution. A proposal to General Carranza that the United States and the Mexican de facto government submit the whole subject of their relations to an interna. tional commission is being seriously considered by the United States. Such a proposal, it it is made, will serve as a reply to the Mexican note demand Ing withdrawal of the American troops, and may contemplate adjustmbnt of many unsettled differences that for years have caused accumulating em barrassment in the relation of the twc countries. European War King, ConstAhtine, of Greece has signedthe order .demobilizing twelve classes. of the &rmy, amgunting to 160, 600 men. There is general rejoicing over the decision. It Is not thought the present governinent will be able to .continue in power after the army .1s disbanded. The demobilization of the Greek army is regarded as the direct out ,ome of the energetic measures by the entente allied governments recently taken in making joint representations to King Constantine, followed by an embargo virtually closing Greek ports. The Greek scommander of the port of Salonika has been replaced by a French naval officer, and enitry to the port has been refused to Greek ships from Kavala. Moreover, an embargo has been placed on Greek ships in French ports. Fort Vaux, /.. --sonme five mniles northeast of Verdin, which for weeks past the French had been stubbornly defending against terrific onslaughts * by the Germans, has at last fallen into the hands of the Teutons,- according to Berlin. The men who defended the fp~tresa to the last surrendered to the Germans, who also captured a large number of guns, machine guns and mine throwers. Germans and British are fighting des perately In the vicinity of Ypres, both sides, using their artillery in heavy bombardments and their {pfantry in occasional atlackcs. In an infantr'y &t *tack against the ruined village of - RoQoge, cast of Ypres, the .Germans captured the British front-line' trench es running through the village, but all their sattacks elsewhere failed. From the Pripet river southward to the Roumanian frontier the Russians, * according to Petr,ograd, are continuing (q develop success against the Ger * ~ nam anid Austrians. In the fights - ol this front of some 250 miles, * the Russians already have made * prisoners of 480 officers and more than 26,000 men and captured 27 guns AnUd morpe than 50 machine guns. 1ccompanying Earl Kitchener as bstaff, and who were drowned with him, Were Hufsh James O'Beirne, former -councillor of the British em bassy at Petrogt'ad and former minis r at Sofia; 0.

The sudden blow struck by the Rus sians along' the entire Galician'front of 275 miles from the Pripet to Rou mania, is, in the unanimous opinioni of the military critics, a brilliant be6 ginning of the long awaited- Russian offensive. A profound'- sensation has been caused by. the speech made before the reichstag by Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg, in which he de clared that any further suggestions of peace by Germany would be futile and evil. The prosecution begun the presenta tion of the case at the courtmartial of Captain Bowen-Colthurst, charged with the shooting of F.

Savannah, Ga., will have a marn moth preparedness parade on Flag day, June 14. Interest in the parade move ment lagged at first, but sentiment has been growing in favor of a huge de monstration. Committees have been busy and the encouragement which the plan has received by those in charge are enthusiastic. "Splash week" will be observed in New York City, from July 3 to 10 when the public and especially school chil dren will be given unusual opportuni. ties to learn to swim with a view to ,decreasing ' the number of annual deaths by drowning, of which there were 458 in' this city a'nd vicinity last season.

LEVER WiL.L CONDUCT EX PIRIMENT SOM4EWHERE IN STATE T"18 FALL. DISPATCHEt FROM COLUMBIA 3oIngs and Happenilngs That Miark the Progress of South darolina Peo pie, Gathered Around the State Capitol. Columbia. Special from Washington. - Con rressman Lever is planning to make in experiment in rumi. community milding somewhere in South Carolina, )eginning this fall. The effort, while milding a community spirit, will dem. onstrate the practical value for farm. irs of the legislation for rural credits, tandardization of warehouse receipts, md cotton standards in security com. nunity co-operation. A fine grade of .otton will be used, and- Mr. Lever kopee to have the services of govern nent experts in getting the work lone. His purpose is to make the work >ermanent in the community, and it nay lie several years before the re ults expected are attained. He ex wessed the belief that the commun ty he proposes will be an example of value to the South as well as to his own state, and his hope is that a model ural community may be established, vith the people no-operating along all ines that make for progress and bet erment. He will choose some section where he people are homogeneous, and call L meeting. He will asic them for the iext year to prepare their land and ise the cottonseed under the direc ion of a demonstrator. It is prob tble that the upland long staple - will )e used. . Thq community ilea will develop tiong 'the,following lrnes: The work >f the community with the cotton un ler this plan pre-supposes a commun ty gin, which means a gin co-opera. ively owned. It pro-supposes, too, *ommunity buying and mixing of fer ilizer. A soil survey expert will show he needs of the soils and fertilizer vill be used which applies especially there. Community selling wIll be nec. assary. . Mr. Lever said that selling Is a feature of agriculture that farmers know less about than any other fea ture. Mr. Lever entered in a criticism that has obtained in the South in which farmers sell to buyers without <noing the real value of their cot. on. "Four-fifths of the cotton of the south is. sold that way. * The big myers have given small owners of tores in small towns the quotation n which to purchase- the staple. 7hese people are not fully acquainted rith the grades. The cotton growers re not and the result is- that the rice paid often is not what the farm rs should get. This leads to a small communmity rarehouse, owned, controlled and perated by the community on the afest basis. It can be operated in onjpunction with the Federal system. Ir. Lever wants an expert cotton rader to stay with the people for a me to demonstrate the values of beir cotton to -them. Not only by his method wviH much higher cotton e put on the market for its,. real alue but they will be0 taught the va ious grades of cotton so they will now what they are selling when no xpert is around. "That community will probably sell ,000 bales," said Mr. Locer, in fol. nwing the outline of his plans. "We've et to hsve competition in buying cot sn. There Is practically no compe ltion nowv. The thing to be done is a make a market day for buying otton and let the fact be advertised o the buyers can be on hand at a lven time. Let us say that on a cer Rin day we will sell 50 bales. Thant Till interest the mills, and they will e1 justifled in se"nding a buyer on me groun~d for the occasion. Let mem advertire the quality of the cot in, say thamt it grades up to middling iir, with a length of staple of one nd( a quarter.' That, in substance, is Mr. Lever's lea, for thme beginning of The com imnity work. "If you can demonstrate to the farm r that he can make money by Co. peration in growing cotton you will ave instilled in him a stoirit of co. peration and you can follow it out iother agriculturol activities and in ommunity building. Mr. Lever ,is seeking the best faml liment of community life in the rural Istricts to which requires co-opera lon.

Altti-T OIpIng Aft to b"OfOtoed. * Inepetor- of'A 0t C peni of agricyltueev-iell WO *. t< strictly enfore the ah ritng ac wlitch W passed e. te 1 sessior o: the general a aibl, - o- pro vi11ion was made for the euforcqemen of the law.' .Recently members of the T. P. A made complaint to A.. E. Hill. -solic tor, as to violatiotas of the law Solidl tor Hill took the matter up with Corn missioner Watson and also asked foi an opinion from the attorney general as to the right' of the inspectors- te enforce the anti-tipping law. Acting upori the opinion of the attorney gen eral, -Commissioner Watson stated that the law will be enforced. The following is the opinion of the attorney - general, which was given .upon request of Solicitor Hill: "I have received copy of 'your letter of *May 30 to the Hon. E. J. Watson, com missioner of agrIctture, commerce and industries, with reference to the enforcement of the anti-tipping law, passed by the general assembly in 1915, and, in reference thereto, I beg to say that the duties and authority imposed upon the above named com missioner are broad enough to justify him in requiring the inspectors em ployed by him to report and prosecute violations' of the above law. "While this duty is not specifically imposed upon the department of agri culture, commerce and industries, all law officers are charged with seeing to the enforcement of the laws and it would not be beyond the power of the commissioner to require the in spectors to look after this matter." Peoples Defines Weekly Pay Day Law It was not contemplated, in the opinion of Thomas H. Peeples, a-ttor, ney general, that the weekly pay day for corporations should be a movable feast; furthermore the payment of wages is for money earned during the preceding calendar week and not for the seven days irpmediately preceding the pay day. This opinion was rendered in April to Commissioner Watson and was duplicated to the Pacolet Manufactur ing Company. The letter in part fol lows: "It can not have been intended thal the corporations shall pay wages oll every seven days that the wages may be earned, as the act requires a regu lar pay day once in every week, and not a movable pay day, according tc the time the employes may have actu ally worked. ."I am, therefore, of the opinio that the proper construction of thi act requires the cofportie4ons to fix certain day in every 'vek - pot which day they will pay the wage earned during the preceding calenda week. While it would be more cor venient to the corporations to hav only four pay days during a period c 30 or 31 days, this would nt, ta in: opinion, meet the requirements of th statute." Right to Condemn City Waterworks Thos. H. Peeples, attorney general in an. opinion just filed held that ac No. 220 gives' the city of Greenvill< "authority to condemn waterworke with the pertinent reservoirs and pip< lines situate without the city limits for municipal purposes." The opinio was given upon request of Wilton Hf Earle, senator from Greenville county, The opinion in full follows: "As requested in your letter of the 29th of May I have examined act No 220 to amend section 3015, volume 1 code or 1912, approved March 6, 1916 and am of the opinion that it giver the city of Greenville authority to con demn waterworks with the pertinent reservoirs and pipe lines situate with. out the city limits for municipal pur. poses. "In this connection I will call your attention to the cases of Murphy vs. Kelley, 76 N. Y. 488, and Meaussler vs. St. Louis, 205 Mo. 556, 103 S. W. 1034. "There is no doubt that such exer. else of the rightof eminent domain would be for' a public purpose, and, in my opinion, this amendment to sec tion 3015 of the civil cede is broad enough to authorize the exercise of the right of eminent domain by the municipal authorities. New Enterprises AuthorIzed. A chIarter was issued to the South Atlantic Cotton Company of North Augusta, with a capital of $4,500. People's Bonded Warehouse of Clin ton was commissioned with a capital stock or from $6,000 to $10,000.

Over and over again, the wisdom of the adage, "A man who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client," and the understanding that inspired the. injunction, "Physician, heal thyself," are established in the courts. Every lawyer is familiar with many instanceb in which the wills 'of distinguished jurists have been set aside because they were improperly drawn, and it is a matter of pretty common knowledge that few doctors can diagnose their own ailments. Another exemplification now - ap pears in the conflict about the will of the late Dr. Austin Flint. He was, perhaps, more frequently employeO as r an expert witness as to testamentary capacity than any other alienist in the country. Questions of mental fit- ~ nessi, of intent, of motive and of the'4 other attributes of a "sound-disposing mind" were before him condtantly.il Yet ho drew his own will so- ainbigy ously, so obscurely, that his executors have been compelled to invok'e the aid of the court to determine what the' learned testator' meant.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.
