Lisbon Locals.
= .

Lisbon, April 2S-We farmers are
hustling to get our cotton seed in the
ground, and from all indications we
may get cold rain most any time
yet good season would help wonder
fully as the ground is very hard right
now. Wheat and oats have made won
derful Improvement since the last
rains, but oats will not do much IL it
fails to rain right away. The corn that
came up from the weeks rain don't
seem to be making much headway
right at this time.
A few days back one of the Milan
Bros fine mules got out of the stable,
ran up to their league farm returned
home, fell in the lot near the stable,
striking her head against the rock un-
der the corner of the stable and broke
her skull. The boys carried her to
the veterinary surgeon, DR.. Earle
Owens, of Laurens, and the mule is at
home doing fine.
Messrs. S. w. Bird and Walter, and
Mr.. 8allew, of Blacksburg, spent last
Sunday with j. T. A. Ballew and fam
lily.
Miss Grace Cook will close her
school with picnic tomorrow. Miss
Cook has made us good teacher and
we hope to be able to get her another
term.
Three dusky damsels engaged in
fight last Sunday on their way from
church in front of Mr.. Pink Fuller's
home. They used knife and sticks
very freely, yet there was very little
damage done as others interfered and
stopped them. We hope that the coun-
ty police will make it convenient to
be up and down the roads leading
from these churches and hear the talk
and see the conduct of some of these
youngsters of both sexes and you will
see what we country people have to
endure more or less from time to time
That is one reason that the people that
can move to town are moving. Last
Sunday week ago, two of strawber
ry blondes cut up right on the church
grounds at the colored church during
services. Now we think these young
blacks ought to be put on the chain
gang and made to know that the laws
of this state had to be obeyed and the
the farmers don't make good crop
some degree is to blame for these ne
groes doing the way they do, from the
fact that he always takes him off the
chain gang or pays the fine before he
lets him go on. If the negro knew
when he committed the crime that he
would not commit it in great MANY
cases.
Cotton seed planting will soon be
over and if we could get a good warm
rain the cotton would soon be up. If
of this state must be obeyed and the
it Will be for the want of fertilizer and
preparation. We certainly have done
all we could do.
Misses Feline, Caroline and Sabylla
Sullivan of Mountville, are visiting
their aunt, Mrs. Mary Milan.
Mrs. Cook of Mountvillc will attend
the school picnic tomorrow.
Mr.: F.. p Milan of Cold Point, visit
ed his mother last Sunday.

MEXICAN STOCKS NOT HIT
Effect of Revolution on Prices

MANY HIGHER THAN BEFORE
Bankers Estimate American In

at $S00,000,O00.

Whatever effect the Mexican revolution
may have had on the temper OF Mexicans
or their prospects OF a greater democracy
1t has had almost no effect on the value OF
Mexican securities In which Americans are
interested.
The popular belief that the upheaval III
this sister republic was accompanied by
lawless attacks on property and all the un-
settling and damaging results of war is not
reflected by an appreciable slump in Mexi-
can investments. Instead, an advance OF
point or two. and in a few cases decline
Of like amount, have been recorded

beginning Of the revolution in the latter
part OF last November. The following
