Bandits Attacked Train.

Mexico City, March 31.-From best
information obtainable SO persons
were killed in the attack on the Mex
ico-Cuernavaca train, near Tres
Marias, SO miles south of the capital,
Yesterday Of these 80 were federal
soldiers, who formed an escort. Seven
passengers we're killed. There were
besides several passengers wounded,
but from accounts of survivors it ap-
pears that the bandits shot in cold
blood all OF the federal wounded.
The train was halted by rocks on
the track. The attackers opened fire
from the rocks on both sides of the
train. At the first volley the engineer,
Mexican, fell dead. Fire was di-
rected chiefly at the car containing
the soldiers, who were slaughtered
without a chance to fire with any ef-
feet. They are said to have fought
bravely to the last man. When the
federalS were Sllenced the DandltS
entered and robbed the dead and liv-
ing, not sparing the women passen-
gers, of whom there were half.a doz-
en-. After the looters had ridden
away a freight train appeared from
the rear, and later hauled the rid
died coaches back to Mexico City.
Two American passengers were
unhurt. Several young girls on the
train who knelt and prayed during
the fight later gathered flowers and
strewed them over the dead, after
closing their eyes and binding up
their gaping jaws. A woman with an
infant in her arms was robbed and
insulted with oaths and jeers. A
Young student protesting against the
robbing of a younger brother was
shot and killed. A number of the
Zapatistas are thought to have been
killed. The band was said to be
several hundred strong.

TO PROMOTE GOOD ROADS.
Byrnes of Second District Has Faith
in South Carolina.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-For years
many bills have been introduced in
every congress providing federal aid
for the roads of the country, but
these bills have always been pigeon
holed without even having hearings.
At this session about 16 such bills
proposing 16 different plans have
been introduced. Representative
Byrnes, of South Carolina, believing
that as long as this continued nothing
would be accomplished, undertook to
have the authors of these bills unite
upon one which could be urged by
all, and after several conferences
they have introduced it in the house.
They have requested that it be re-
ferred to the committee on agricul-
ture, and the joint authors have
signed a statement which will be
presented to that committee asking
for hearing upon it. If the COM
mittee grants the request for a hear
ing it is the purpose of those inter-
ested to ask all who favor the prin-
ciple of federal aid to join them in
urging the committee to report the
bill at this session. By sacrificing
their own bills and uniting upon
this one the interested members hope
to secure favorable action by the
committee. The bill agreed upon
provides first for the classification
of all roads used by the government
for the transportation of mails into
three classes and provides that the
government shall pay to the State
or subdivision there of a certain
amount per annum for each mile of
road so used, just as money is paid
to the railroads for the transporta-
ton of mail upon their roadbeds.
The jurisdiction of the States over
the roads is not interfered with.
The roads coming up to the require
ments of Class A will receive $50
per mile per annum,. class B, $40,
and class D, $40. The Office of pub
lie roads estimates that the first year
the appropriation provided for will
amount to S12,000,000.
The authors believe that the equit-
able distribution under the terms of
this bill will insure the support not
only of the sections where bad roads
predominant, but also those sections
having good roads. The States where
good roads have been built by bond
issues or increased taxation would
never support a proposition to build
roads in communities where less
progress has been made. This bill
will not punish them for their prog
ress by appropriating their taxes to
build roads for other communities.
1t will encourage the States to i'm
prove their roads in order to secure
larger appropriations by being pro-
noted to a higher class. No county
will be content to receive the $40
provided for in class G for the poor
est roads, while neighboring coun-
ty is receiving $40 or $50 per mile.
The bill will reward progressive COM
munities and Mr.. Byrnes believes it
will give great impetus to the
b .ildin g of good roads through
out the country. While the appro-
priation provided for is small those
behind the measure believe that if it
is enacted into the law and the peo-
pie realize the benefit from it SEN
timent would develop which would
Justify increased appropriations.

Blease carried Bamberg county b

Blease carried Bamberg county by
a small majority in the second pri-
mary two years ago, and this year
we believe, from all the reports
reaching US, that he will be defeated
in this county almost two to one. AS
showing the change of sentiment, a
prominent gentleman who voted for
Blease two years ago said to us a
few days ago that he did not think
it was any use for Blease men to Of
fer for the legislature from this coun-
ty, as they would certainly be de-
feated.

It>is supposed the law now in effect
which provides that automobiles may
be attached for the recovery of dam
ages caused by careless driving will
result in fewer machines being sold
on the installment plan.

B. J. Rhame, the State bank exam
iner, is a capable official who has
performed his duties well. The at
tempt of the governor to remove
him from Office is simply another un-
warranted attempt to run rough shod
over those who do not toady to him.

Numbers of men in this county
who voted for Blease two years ago
are against him this year, and some

become disgusted with his course and
will be active in opposition to him
this year.
