ed by the United States. The state

deaths of Dignowitty and three com
panions, but no reply has as yet been

a marauders and insurrectionists
while the United States troops were
marching under orders of Brigadier
General Joseph w. Duncan from
Marathon to the Chisos mines, In the
big bend OF the Rio Grande south OF
Alpine, in Brewster county, Tex.
The only intimation that the war
department made public which was
intended to shed any light on this
report was the substance OF a dis
patch received from General Duncan
Wednesday, IN which he says that be
had ordered the Third cavalry to go to
the protection of the settlements In
the vicinity of the. Chisos mines. His
dispatch added that the settlers 10
that neighborhood were reported to be

Another interesting umo carried IT,
the press dispatches that received
some attention In official and diplo-
matte circles was to the effect that
Mexico and Japan had mutually
agreed to terminate a secret treaty In
the interest Of preserving the peace,
State department officials met this re-
port with the assertion that there was
no secret treaty between Japan and
Mexico, and that the treaty of com
merce and navigation which had ex-
listed between Japan and Mexico-was
almost identical with the treaty be
tween Japan and the United States,
ratified by the senate just before con
gress adjourned.
Baron Uchida. the Japanese ambas-
sador to the United States, declared
e~mphatically that there was no secret
treaty between Japan and Mexico and

5000 or 1000 recruits to bring the
infantry regiments of the army mob
ilized in Texas and California up to

Other branches of the army have been
adequately supplied. Two thousand
recruits already have been sent to the
'maneuver division" at San Antonio.
Aside from the vacancies existing
In the infantry ranks, a great number

Large Crops I,cing Less.

If the cotton crop should prove to
be fifteen million bales and If 1t
should sell at an average price OF ten
cents per pound, it would bring to
the South $3.50, 100000, which is less
than last years crop sold for. The
labor and expense Of growing and
gathering a fifteen-nlillion-bale crop
must be much greater, while all 9TH
er crops are necessarily curtailed in
the effort to make aid handle the t1f-
ueen-milIionIbale cotton crop. The
deficit in the other crops necessltates
larger purchases by the farmer, IN
creasing the cost OF living to him.
These facts can not be disputed. Then
why waste labor and money and add
to the cost of living to grow cotton
that spinners and middlemen may
grow rich and fat while the cotton
raiser grows poor?, asks Cotton and

The st. Matthews correspondent
of the News and Courier says an en-

Union was held under the auspices of
the Bethel Union near Bethel Church

of the best in the county. It's presi-

in it with every action of his make
up, and works increasingly for its ad-
vancement. ...-
There was great disappointment
over the absence of State Organizer
e. w. Dabbs, who had been advertis-
ed far and wide for a speech. Prof.
Percy Geiger, of the Shandon graded
school Columbia, presided. The
Rev. ]. P. Winingham, offered an ap-
propriate prayer.
Mr.. B. F. Keller, president of the
County Union, made an earnest and
eloquent plea in behalf of the cause.
Col. J. A. Banks, by invitation, also
made a short and interesting talk
along Union lines. The Farmers Un-
ion is not in feeble condition in Cal
houn County, as in many others. The
fact is it is very much alive.
A farmers bank representing the
union, has recently been established,
and strenuous efforts will be made
next spring to get fertilizers at more
reasonable prices than heretofore. 1t
has done much good there, and The
indications are that it's sphere OF
usefulness will be hroadened in the
future.

SUMMER ADVERTISING.
While Trade is Dull Advertising
Should Be Pushed.

You need the best weapons when
the campaign is most strenuous.
No general would think of partly or
entirely disarming his troops just be-
fore the biggest battle is to be fought
These same principles apply also
to business house. Some merchants
- order to curtail expenses during
the dull season Of the year, begin by
cutting down their advertising cx-
penses.
The newspaper is at all times your
weapon and best medium of publicity
and when times are dullest and COM
petition is keenest you will have to
meet these conditions. Advertising is
the appropriation that ought to be
decreased because business is dnii;
Advertising is not discontinued or
decreased because busines is dull;
but business is dull because you are
not advertising as much as you
should.
Don't throw away your weapons
when the hardest battle remains TO
be fought. Don't discontinue or de-
crease your advertising when hot
weather arrives.
AT no time of the year will adver-
tising space pay you better than
right now. if you advertise right.
Investigate circulation claims OF
the papers you advertise in ana make
sure that for the amount OF money
you are spending, you are reaching
the greatest possible number OF peo'
pie, and then advertise perslstently
and judiciously and solicit business
through the columns Of live news
paper as if though you really want
ed it and the results will be certain
