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

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.
WILL PAY STATE DEBT (
If Granted Sole Privilege of Selling i
Liquor. }
Samuel (I. Walker, one of the wealth- |
iest liquor men in southern West Yir- *
giania, has made a proposition to the 1
state government to pt,\ the state debt of J
$l2,.'t!Kt,!?2<? with '< per rent interest in 1
the next ten years and at the same time
set aside the sum of JjWOO.OOO each year 1
to he used by the state in permanent 1
improvements if lie is granted tlit? sole "
privilege of selling liquor in West Virginia.
Walker will fde a bond of $2,000,000 '
immediately guaranteeing the faithful
carrying out of his eontraet. The state ,
debt has been a matter of dispute between
that state and Old Virginia for
many years. (
The supreme court of the United (
States recently decided that West Yir- ^
ginia must pay it. t

CROSS KEYS
Left over from last week
Cross Keys, June 21.?Farmers are
laving a good time to cultivate their
crops. 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. Bobo had an attack of
rertigo while at Padgett's Creek
hurch last Saturday and fell in the
loor, but sustained no injuries, he is
ible to be up this morning.
Mr. R. V. Miller of Hendersonville,
C.. will deliver a series of lectures
it Padgett's Creek beginning next
ilonday night at 8:30 o'clock.
Mr. Judd Poole had the misfortune
0 fall from the barn loft at Mr. B. _
I. Wilburn's last Saturday and was

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<
