HUERTA NABBED BY as. AGENTS Conspiracy Charge Against Former Dictator TO LAUNCH REVOLUTION Arrest of the Mexican Trout^ Maker Followed Nearly Three Month* of Espionage by Agents of United States. The United States government hits frustrated fur the nrivnt an attempt on the part of (ieneral Vict?yiano lluertii and his ass?K*iates to launch'from American territory a new revolutionary . movement in Mexico. Detention of the former Mexican dictator with (ieneral Oroxco and others at El 1 'aso, Tex., followed nearly three I months of espionage hy government agents. The department of justice has ] instructed United States Attorney Camp, < of the western district of Texas to take < into custody these men. who, seemingly, < were engaged in violations of American I neutrality laws which forbid the recruit- ' ing of inen, purchase of supplies there- ' for, and the organizing of a military ex- < pedition on the soil of the I'nited States ! to be used in operations against a people with which this country is at peace. Mr. Camp was ordered to place before 1 a grand jury at El Paso immediately all the evidence in his possession in order that indictments may be returned ' against anyone guilty of an intent to ^ violate American neutrality laws. While officials were reticent as to the ^ probAble development of the case against ^ General Huerta, it was indicated that the ( United States would retain in its custody for the present at least the men ] whose overthrow of Madero and Suarez 4 and dictatorship in Mexico was declared $ by President Wilson to be responsible < for tl?e resulting turbulence in the south- ] em republic. When General Huerta re- ?; turned from Spain, the American gov- 1 eminent made no effort to deport him, accepting his pledge that he did not in- ^ tend to violate the laws of neutrality. I Ilucrta was released on $15,000 bond and Orozco on $7,500. I 1 r PRESIDENT'S PARTY LOST \ For Hour* Wandered Through Vermont 1 Forests. President Wilson and members of his family, out for an afternoon automobile , ride, became lost in tlie footliills of the { (ireen mountains, and for nearly five j hours were riding through dense forests, up and down steep inclines, part of the ^ time in a driving rain. ( The president was accompanied by Mr. ( and Mrs. Francis It. Say re, Miss Mar- 1 garet Wilson, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, Dr. Cary T. Grayson and several secret service men. The chauffeurs ef the two cars carrying the party were from Washington, and the president knew the country as well as anyone with him. ^ At one place Say re leaned out and . spoke to a farmer. "Where does this road go?" lie inquired. "Ivc been living here all my life, anil ( it never went anywhere," replied the man. | while the president tried to preserve his j gravity. j.

We have sunshine from five a'clock in the morning till nearly seven-thirty in the evening. I have beard a few people say that the days were just about half as long as they should be, but so far as I am concerned they are long enough; we are a hard people to please anyway. We want things to come to pass just to suit our notions, but this is not the right way sometimes. The people generally are about through harvesting their grain, some af it is fairly good. Threshing machines are traveling around and some few farmers will soon have bread made from wheat of their own, but [ know a few people who have a labit of turning up their nose because the flour is not white. Mrs. Rachel Gentry was buried last Friday at New Hope church at Cross \nchor. She was 92 years of age ind was able to work up to the last lays of her life. She was a Miss tlucker before she married Mr. Edd fentry, and the last one of the Jucker family. Miss Belle Prince has returned to EVinthrop College to attend the sumner school. Miss Flossie Wilburn and Mrs. Bess .ong Wilburn will attend the sumner school at Winthrop. Mr. C. B.

LOCKKART JUNCTION I t Left over from last week n Lockhart Junction, June 21.?The armers are about up with their work 2 n this section. 1 would like to see 1 good rain?there has been good ain going about the past week, but t has not reached this section, (iarlens are needing rain, although there ^ ias been an abundant crop of vegeta- p >les up to this time. This has been 0 i line Spring on gardens as there has j >een plenty of rain, and it takes that or vegetables. c Well, 1 see the stubble land is be- ^ ntr planted in neas and corn. Last s ear there was a great deal of cotton ( )lanted in the stubble land. If the p season continues there will be more a read stuff made than has been in p several years, for there is more (. planted. Some one asked me why I did not vrite longer letters. You see the ^ orrespondent letters never have a ( subject?just a catch up from one hing to another. There is one great subject before the people now?that >f temperance; the struggle between tl rood and evil. Who knows when sin, v ?ven that horrible sin of intemper- p inc will fasten its fangs upon some (i vhom we love. n Intemperance has its traps, men f..n i.n T. ause thoir hearts are weakened to ;tart with, hut because sin lias 2 reacherous ways. Intemperance he:in< sometimes with the friendly I ipplinjr with the father and ends in | lie insanity of the son. So let us p each temperance to our children and f( t will not he lontr before strong j< Irink will take a hack seat, and we if vill not he bothered with that evil r< my longer.
