Its assets are said to be $1.4,000,000. .John Clalin, head bf the company and its chief individual stockholdtr, is the owner of a chain of nearly thir ty other dry goods enterprises through out the country, which are involved in the failure.

Mr. Clallin, who was president of both the Dry Goods and Associated, Merchants' Company, resigned those positions today, and It is understood that when the 11. B. Claflin Company is reorganized its connection with both the fornmer companies will be severed. Cornelius N. Bliss son of the late New York dry goods merchants of that name. was elected to succeed Mr. Chllin. Accordling to Mr. Clallin, the failure was duie to the unprecedented shifting of trade centres in New York city, which compelled the concern to rely mainly on its retail stores in other cities for its profits. "Their rapidly extending business?' :ie said, "occasioned large capital re-' miremenlts, which we have not been able to nmeet." Could Not Borrow. Ilie crash came today, after vain efforts had been made by Mr. Claflin to induce .1. P. Morgan & Co. and other Wall street banking iterests to loan him moniey to tide over his emba rrass ment.

The battle was most hotly contested during the present revolution in the belief of leaders here. Fourteen thou and federals were entrenched in seemingly impregnable positions. Five thousand prisoners were captured by General Villa's troops. Twelve can non. nine ilitary trains, six thousand rilies and three carloads of cannon and rifle amnition wtre captured. The federals were reported to have dyllailited 111any buiidings of the city before evacuating, sinying those of Villa's troops who had. occupied the buildings in the street fighting. General Villa himself gave the fol lowing account of tile hattle: "After four days hard attacks Tues day's wias the decisive ole.

The Situation lt I'nickens. According to the logic of one of out enatorial candidates it will be very hard for the delegates from this couni ty t0 the State convention of 1914 to prove after the lipse of a few years that they were Anti-Bleaseites. Why? Because the correspondent of the State and Greenville News stated that tile delegation was composed of four anti aln(d two Bleaseites, and this was cop led by a number of papers, when as fact there was no Bleaseite delegate from this county. Neither wis the pickens Convention packed with Anti Bleaseites by previous agreement. As a proof of this thirteen clubs in the county did not organize, and as a con sequence had no delegates in tile Con vention. Had either faction so de sired they could easily have had these clubs to organize and send delegates who were in sympathy with their views to the County Vonvention. No. it just happened that tile representa tive people of tile county are tired of Bleaseism and everything that it rep resents. They are tired of seeing the laws of the state nulliiled. They ate tired of seitng a premliml placed on crime, and ex-conviets and convicts beintg mladle chilef Couniselior's inl the condulet of the olces of the state, atnd there' is a qutiet dleterinfationl in tile mlind~s of these pieople to sulbmit to the disgra1ce and huiiliation 1no further. l':asiey' Progress.
