Mexico City, Nov. 10.-Through
insults to the American flag and as
saults made openly upoL American
citizens in the streets, the anti-Am-
erican demonstration which began
Tuesday night with the stoning of
the Mexican Herald offices, develop
ed yesterday afternoon into an affair
of international importance.
A vigorous protest was registered
by the American ambassador with
the Mexican department of foreign
relations and at the same time the
facts were then telegraghed to Wash
ington and instructions asked for.
Last night the attacks were re-
newed. Windows in a dozen Amer
lean business places were smashed
All about town shutters were hur-
riedly drawn and Establishments
closed. Forces of police appeared in
the streets and kept the crowds NOV
ing
An attack was made upon the plant
of Ell impartial and the departments
on the ground floor were complete
ly wrecked. The mob battered at
the heavy doors leading to the edi-
torial and composing rooms above
with heavy timbers and fired the
wreckage.
Police Make Charge.
Then the mounted police charged
with drawn swords. One of the at
tackers was run through and killed.
] he others fled. An alarm turned
in from the offices of the paper
brought the fire department to the
scene before the flames gained any
Roadway.
While the police looked On and
seemingly made no effort to prevent
1t, an American flag floating in front
of a candy store, in the business
district, was torn down by crowd
of students and others, and trampled
and spat upon and torn to bits.
Later photographs of the crowds
were taken before the offices of the
Diario Del Hogan, a Mexican news
paper, with many individuals wav-
ing bits of the tattered banner.
The demonstration was a contin-
uation of the affair of Tuesday night
caused by antipathy aroused among
the people by the burning at the
stake of Antonio Rodriguez at Rock
Springs, Texas, on the night of No

@THEODORE GIFT OF GOD"
Roosevelt So Introduced by Bishop al
Missionary Meeting.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 2,-For a few
hours today ,ex-President Roosevelt
had a respite from the stress of the
campaign. Turning from politics to

dent Of Goucher college, an institution
for women, at this place, took the
colonel in hand when he arrived in
Baltimore from New York late this
afternoon. They took him to Goucher
college, where he made short ad-
dress to the students and faculty.
There was nothing about the even
ing meeting to remind the colonel OF
the turbulent political rallies at which
he has been speaking in his own State.
The meeting was held in connection
with the annual gathering of the gen.
eral committee of the board Of for
eign missions of the Methodist Epfsco-
pal church, the first regular session
Of which is to take place tomorrow. On
the stage were bishops and leading
laymen of the church and the audience
was made up for the most part OF
Methodists. The hall was crowded to
the doors.
Bishop Henry ". Warren introduc"
ed the colonel as Theodore, Gift OF
God, Roosevelt"
although I am a member OF the
Dutch Reformed Church" said Roose-
7eh, 81 always feel at home among
the Methodist, and there are times
when my opponents say l talk like a
Methodist lay preacher. I only wish
I could talk half so effectively"
The colonel told of his visit to mis-
sions in Africa during his hunting trip
and of the work which is being done
there.
AS soon as he finished his speech
Col. Roosevelt went to his train and
started for Davenport, Iowa.

PEANUTS INSTEAD OF COTTON.
Peanut Oil Sold in Europe at Higher
Price Than Olive OIL

New Orleans, Nov. 2.-WIll the
goober conquer the boil weevll? And
will the cotton mills of the weeV1-
ridden belt be turned into peanut oil
manufactures?
Judge L. M. Pipkin, of San Anto-
nio, Texas, the owner Of large plaz-
tation in ST. James Parish, Louis
lana, answers both questions aftirma-
lively, Judge Pipkin, who arrived
here last night, declares that peanut
production IS the salvation Of the cot
ton planters who suffer from the raw
ages of the boil weevil. He says the
hilly lands infected with the weeVil
will yield, per acre, from 20 to So
busels of peanuts, valued at 81 per
bushels Of peanuts, valued at 81 per
easily disposed OF at from s12 to SIS a
ton. He says these lands will not
yield more than $40 to the acre In cetl
ton.
Judge Pipkin stated that peanut oil
is sold principally in Europe for a
better price than alive oil, and that
the peanut oil cake Is an excellent
stock food.
MANY cotton mills in the boil wee
vii district" he said, "are converting
their plants into peanut mills, where
the oil and meal ara manufactured" I"
A feature in connection with the
peanut industry which the judge said
must not be overlooked, is the TACT
that three years' culture OF peanuts in

posed to her.?
Mrs. Dali a mistake, my dear, a
sad mistake; you know she has grown

had promised all her money In anoth-

GOOD ROADS PLAN.
A Correspondent Suggests Plan to
Secure Some Good Roads.

Editor Herald and News: The writer
has what he thinks is a splena1d
schema to get the roads put In Al
condition, based On the principle o.
if you want a. thing done, make 1t to
some one's interest and it will be 'Au
fait accomplii," interest In a direct
pecuniary way, devoid Of all reference
to patriotism, civic pride, etc. Let
a man SEQ that the result OF his et-
forts will be immediate and satisfy
ing, and he will be pretty apt to De
found doing his very best. There Is
another future about this plan OF the
writer that will be referred to later.
Now for the plan: Let committee
be appointed by the good roads com
mittee Of the chamber Of commerce
to see each merchant, lawyer, doctor,
and all other public spirited citizens,
with a properly drawn up paper suit
ably worded, for their signature, stat
ing the amount they will subscribe
towards this plan, viz: for the best
section of road worked by an overseer.
Something Of value, say a tine disc
harrow, or anything Of like value that
would be appropriate, and useful to
farmer. .>.-...
For the second best section OF road
a Dixie boy plow; or should the SUD-
scriptions be very liberal, and the
writer believe they will, there m1ght
be three prizes. A fine buggy and
harness, or buggy without the har-
ness, depending on the amount sab
scribed, might be given as a first prize,
and the disc harrow and Dixie boy
plow as second and third, respectively.
Now, sir, don't you agree with Ne
writer that with this plan, there wcd1u
be something doing" Why, sir, I
! Jelieve that an oyerseer would not
only warn out those on hds section
liable to road duty, but he would see
/ that he either aid his share OF Work
or paid his road tax, and with tiSe
money hire hands, and would after
every rain hitch his mules to one ot
more split log drags, and go over his
section, and in various other ways
strive with all his might to win one
of these prizes, and should these be
enough difference in their value, he
would strive for the best, thereby CIV
ing US betteS roads. .s..
Why, sir, the writer believes thaS
the rafting Of some Of those old dry
bones of oyerseers would be heard all
over the county. He knows OF more
than one section Of road that has net
even had an overseer for two years.
The people living along these roads
would be falling over each other try
ing to get themselves appointed as
overseer. This plan Is being used
largely out West, and the roads ara
looking more like boulevards and
would make some Of our Newberry
streets look like-language fails nae.
