UNCLE SAM SHOWS HAND
in RUSH OF TROOPS
The Revolution In Mexico
Must Cease

Washington, March 10.-"All doubt
as to the purpose of the government in
sending 10000 troops to the Mexican
border has at last been swept away.
The United States has determined that
the revolution in the republic to the
south must end" is the statement of
one who should know, made here to-
day.
The American troops have been sent
to form a solid military wall along the
Rio Grande to stop filiburtering and
to see that there is no further SNUG
Cling of arms and men across the in
ternational boundary.
1t is believed that with this source
of contraband supplies cut off the in
surrectionary movement which mas
disturbed conditions generally for
nearly a yea rwithout accomplishing
anything like the formation of a re-
sponsible independent government will
speedily come to a close.
There is a general belief that the
rapid movement of troops into Texas
and South California will so speedily
accomplish its purpose that the net
results in the end will constitute a
valuable lesson in quick mobilization
of an effective fighting force that viii
prove a revelation to the country at
large and to critics of the army IN
particular.
There is no longer reason to doubt
that the sudden move on the part Of
the American government was the re
suit either of unofficial representations
of foreign governments regarding the
situation in Mexico or the intimation
that several of the European powers
were sounding each other as to the
desirability of making representations
to the United States at an early date.
The Washington government unex-
pectedly found itself confronted by the
necessity of throwing an army along
the border line of Mexico to stop the
source of supply to the revolutionists
and to be in a position to invade Mex,
leo at moments notice in the event
of the death of President Diaz or any
other untoward circumstance which
might precipitate general fighting or
rioting.

home, where after placing it on a
couch, he fell to the moor, prastrat-

Turner declares he was not driving
rapidly and that the accident was un-
avoidable
This was the second accident Of the

son, son of Curtis L. Anderson, and
nephew of Gen. Clifford L, Anderscn II.

TERRELL OUT OF RACE
SAYS ATLANTA REPORT
Family Want Him to Retire on
Account Of Health

Atlanta, March 10.-United States
Senator Joseph NJ. Terrell will not
stand for reelection to succeed him
self. 1t is said that this decision has
been reached by the senator and his
immediate family, after carefully con-
sidering all the circumstances of his
present illness and probable conya-
.Iescence. The Rome Tribune, in a cur
rent issue publishes these statements
as coming through an authoritative
and entirely creditable source.
Senator Terrell, despite the hopes
and exectations of his host of friends
and admirers, has not progressed to-
ward recovery as rapidly as it was
hoped he would. The paralysis of his
right side continues and little evil
dence of it subsiding is apparent. For
this reason, it has been determined
SO it is said, that the senator shall re-
tire from the race and forego further
object of his ambition.

year
With this meeting the Board Of
Trade closes its fifth year of useful
ness to the city Of Americus and the
county Of Sumter From its organ
ization its money and energies have
been devoted to the advertising and
building up of both. Much of the

known in the past five years has been
due, directly or indirectly, to the
Americus Board of Trade.
Five men of affairs have been its
presidents. They have been Messrs.
Frank Sheffield, Lee Council, Frank
Lanier, Lee Allen and John w. Shiver.
In the course of its five years there
have been about as many secretaries

1t is hoped to have large meeting
of the members at the annual gather
ing. There are over $50 members en-
rolled and a meeting with the ma
jority of them present would start off
the sixth year with enthusiasm and

There Is renewed activity in the

tions have been made and work is 10
start on all OF these Immediately. All
OF the locations have been made by
the South Penn OIL Company.
The locations are as follows: Four
wells have been located on the s. L.
Vinson farm, one on the W. B. James
farm; three on the Mamie and Wal.
ter Lowe farm, one on the Kennedy
farm, one on Hornor's run.
With operations to begin at once
means that there will be an influx OF
teamsters, rig builders, drlllers and
oil workers to the Shinnston field and
that things there will boom again. 1t
is said that there will be number
OF other locations follow those that
have already been made. 1t now looks
as II the field will be the scene OF
nearly as much activity as when the
fluid was first discovered there.
The South Penn Oil Company has
Installed a gasoline plant on Kuhn's
run that manufactures two hundred
gallons Of gasoline daily from the gas
that comes from the oil wells of the
field. The gas Is collected in pipes
and after the gasoline is taken out the
gas passes into other pipes and con-
veyed into the big pipe lines used for
carrying the product to, large cities.
Another gasoline plant will be INSTALL
ed by the South Penn on Hornor's run
of the same capacity as that on Kuhn's
run. The farmer gets the one-eighth
OF gasoline the same as he does for
the oil produced on his farm.
All of the old wells in the Shlnns-
ton field are now settled and none Of
them are producing as much as forty
barrels. per day z
