She may not be as expert with the

not be able to wear as smart tailored
suits and blouses as the girl at the
next desk, but she can be just as po-
lite or more so. She may lack the
strong personality which is such a fac
tor in scoring business success, but
IL she will cultivate politeness, the
much coveted personality will develop.

prohibit the cutting down of trees

Washington. March 9.-That the ad-

and unexpected movement of troops
to the Mexican border, is indicated by
the following dispatch, received to-
night from the staff correspondent of
the Associated Press, who Is accom-
panying Mr. Taft on his journey to
Atlanta.
The dispatch. dated Charlottesville,
Va, through which place the train
passed tonight at ITO, is as follows:
"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
The American troops have been sent
to form solid military wall along
the Rio Grande, to stop filibustering
and to see that there is no further
smuggling of arms and men across
the boundary.

There is no telling at this time
Mexican frontier will have to remain
there IT will not be withdrawn un-
til conditions in Mexico are much
more stable than they are now believ-
! ed to be. The situation in Lower
California is said to have caused more
concern to the United States than at
any other point. 1t was reported that
the rebels were exceptionally strong
there and threatened to set up a gov
ernment independent of either that OF
Diaz or of the revolutionary party"
"The boundary line between Lower
California and the United States is
an imaginary one. and an indep2nd-
ent revolutionary government there
would be a source of constant worry

SHALL WE BUILD 1T!

SHALL WE BUILD 1T!
The movement begun at Newberry
Friday to put the en;ire roadway from
Greenville to Columbia in first class
condition by means of local subscrip-
tions and individual aid should have
far-reaching results. The hope of
those who are most Interested III this
road is that when it is built and put
in fine condition that it will serve as
n model for other road builders and
the counties through which it runs to
build more just like it, The idea should
and no doubt will appeal strongly to
those people along the road for in
no other way can they hope to build
such road as is contemplated.
The county chain gangs are enabled
to do just so much work over the coun-
ty and no more. The supervisor is
will result hi the road being built
people Of the county demands that he
pay as much attention to the road to
Waterloo rs he does the road to Clin-
ton. This fact is understood AS the
county cannot build such road as is
needed between these cities. this body
of men which met at Newberry de-
sircs to inaugurate a movement that
by the people themselves. They
want to build real up-to-d date
road from Greenviiie to New
berry and on to Columbia that Will
prove of incstimable benefit to those
living along it and to any who travel
over 1t. To build 1t will require the
united cooperation of all the people
along the route. A number of promi-
nent farmers were at the meeting Fri.
day and each Of them gave the move
ment their hearty endorsement and
promised that they would do all in
their power to aid in the work They
have seen the need of the road and all
that is wanted now Is that the rest Of
the people along the road see it. If
they can be brought to realize the
great advantage of such work and
at the same time to realize that the
county chain gang will not be able to
do It, we believe that half the battle
will be won.
Some are bound to say that this is
just some scheme to get fine road
