Fl Paso, Jan. 10-It is learned here ! today on reliable Information from the City of Mexico, that the Mexican government will abolish the Free Zone which extends along the border for the width of twenty kilometers. This action will be taken by Mexico for the reason that the free zone is a Icetriment to the border towns and re-
 tards thir growth and prosperity.
 When the free zone was first estab- lished it was believed that it would tend to build up the border towns. as
 goods are admitted to the free zone at Ione-third the regular custom duties.
 but it is now claimed that factories will moi start in border towns because they have no protection. Cities on the bor- der towns from Texas to California.
 have petitioned the government to abolish the free zone, so that new en- .terprises will locate there.

Tokeena Happenings.

Tokeena, October 1G.-Our Sunday
not be the case; all should come, as your
presence will encourage the faithful
sup orintendent.
The school house at this place has
lately been painted, which greatly i'm
proves its appearance.
Mr. and Mrs. j. j. Cromer, of Seneca,
visited tho latter's parents Sunday.
Misses l. la Callahan and Ida Phillips
arc working iu w. g. Kings new store at
this place.
II. p Singleton and family are visiting
relatives at Anderson and Starr.
Alfred Prichard and wife, of Come

Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. Moore visited rela-
tives near Return Sunday.
The Sock Party, given at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Prichard on last Fri
day evening, was ono of the most enjoy
able occasions it was ever my pleasure to
were sent out early last week and of
course everybody was anxious to attend.
and a m ,rrier crowd never met, for from
the time we arrived till we left they were
engaged in some amusement. The young
men contributed 5000, which will be
used i'm improving Cross Roads church..
1t certainly was interesting to see them
count the money after the socks had
been collected. This is commendable
act for our young people, but they arc
ever busy working for some good cause.
fter this we were invited to the dining
room, where the table was loaded with
nice refreshments, which the young
ladies had prepared. We were sorry
when the time arrived for us to say good
bye, after spending such delightful
evening. Violet.

stone, who fer over year has been s :
perintendent nf tho Union cotton mills
and the Buffalo cotton mills here, has
rendered his resignation, and it will
likely take effect about the end of this
month, the chief reason, it is under
stood, being the wish of his wife to re-
turn to her home near Greenwood, as
she has been in i'll health for many
months past. This resignation of Mr.
Toucbstone calls attention to man who
has worked himself up from being
sweeper in Georgia cotton mill at six
and One-quarter cents an hour to posi-.
tion with a salary of from $4,000 to
$4,000 year. AS superintendent of the
mills referred to, as we'll as the Seneca
cotton mills and the Pine Creek Manu-
featuring Company, at Camden, he has
had under his Immediate supervision
lY3,0S4 spindles, 1924 looms and 1850
operatives, or more than any other one
man in the South. 1t is probable that
he may retain the superintendency of the
Seneca and Pine Creek mills, but this is
not definitely known yet.

Burned to Death Alone in a House.

Rock Hill, October 15.-Two colored
children that had been left alone in the
house were burned to death yesterday
and the house and contents all destroyed
in fire that occurred on the farm of j..
III. Miller, at Ebenezer. The mother of
the children had spread quilt on the
floor before the fire before leaving and
had placed the children there. She had
been absent about 10 minutes at her
duties near Mr.. Miller's home when the
fire was discovered. The children's 8
bodies were found in the he'd in tho room
where they had been left and are thought
to have taken refuge there. They were
aged two and four years. The negroes
are respected and, according to Mr.. Mil
Ter, bear good regulations.
Another deplorable affair of the same
kind occurred on Thursday on the
plantation of b. f. Merritt. The child
of Shaver McLure, having been left be-
fore the fire while the parents went to
pick cotton, was SO badly burned that it
died after five hours of agony. Both
cases are but repetitions of the old story
that is told every year, that of careless

Unusual Damage Suit.

Spokane, Wash, October 15-George
A. Lovejoy, an Elk, who was selected To
furnish cuticle to save a fellow Elk's
wife, Mrs. Fred b. Searles, suffering from
severe burns, yesterday brought suit
against G. p. Thomas for $4,000 as the
value of so inches of skin, which he says
the doctor peeled off his legs while uuder
chloroform.
Mr.. Lovejoy asserts that it was repre-.
sented to him that the surgeon would
take from his thighs only two or three
strips of cuticle three or four inches long
aud three-fourths of an inch wide. After
the operation, Lovejoy found that the
fronts of his legs between knee and hip
were stripped of skin and it was ten davs
before he was able to leave the hospital.
Mrs. Searles was burned in an accident
with lamp at Lewiston, Idaho, and was
brought to ST. Luke's hospital, Spokane,
for treatment. A number of Elks vOlun-
teered to furnish cuticle to cover the
burned places, but Lovej ~ proved such
a promising subject that while under
chloroform all the skin necessary, except
some supplied by Mrs. Searles' husband
and brother, was peeled off his legs.
The grating operation was successful,
but the woman was so weakened from
long illness that she died.

Freight Wrecked by Striking Cow.

Oskaloosa. Iowa, October 15.-Fivc
trainmon were killed today at Seaton,
H., when heavy, double header freight
train, eastbound, on the Iowa Central
railroad ran into cattle on the track at a
ED of twenty miles an hour. Both
locomotives and | freight cars loaded
with grain and lumber were piled in a
heap beside the track
All the men killed lived in Oskaloosa
except Brilcy. whose home was in Mon
mouth, Ill. The engineers lived several
hours after the wreck occurred, but the
other three men were killed instantly.
A COW was lying on the ties between
the rails She was hidden from view by
other cattle standing about it. AT the
sound of the whistle of the approaching
train, the standing cattle scampered
away, but the forward locomotive struck
the lying COW.
The COW was crushed under the wheels
of the pilot truck and rolled along the
ties for a hundred feet. The animal
blood made the rails slippery and pieces
of bone threw the front locomotive from
the track The derailed locomotive
pitched down an embankmcnt drawing
| the second locomotive into the ditch,
where the two machines piled up, crush
| ing the engineers and firemen. Tho
wreckage caught fire from the live Goals
of the locomotive fire boxes. The con
| ductor and rear breakman with persons
who lived near the wreck hastily took
| the manglcd trainmen from the burning
debris and saved the rest of the train
from tho flames

Government. Regulation Of Rates.

In view of the widespread interest in
the proposal to regulate railway rates by
government authority, the Macmillan
Company, who are bringing out Pro-
fessor Hugo Richard Meyers book OF the
above title, anticipate much more gene
raj demand for it than ia usual with
works of this character. A first edition
of six'y-tive hundred copies is being
printed and, from the heavy advance
orders received, the publishers anticipate
second printing within a very short
tir o. Certainly no book dealing with an
economic subject could possess the OLE
ment of current and general interest in a
greater degree. The book embodies the
results of twelve years spent in careful
investigation of the subject of govern
ment ownership and control in many
lands, and is the most important and
convincing contribution to the discussion
of this much discussed subject that has
appeared thus far.
