charge by Mrs. Louie e. Britain that his
client was formerly Mormon Il know
RIcheson's life story thoroughly, and the
statement that he has been a Mormon is
wicked, foolish and ridiculously untrue
I'VE have q record In shorthand Of
everything that Richeson has ever done
I know just what he has done In every
year Of his life. He was not in Staten
Island In 1909, as this woman charges.
The story is a foolish fake of the same
kind as the letters get every day from
various people, most OF them claiming to
be messages from heaven. The story is
absolutely untrue"
Senator Smoot of Utah today gave out a
statement in which he denied that Rev.
Clarence v. T. Richeson, charged with the

Senator Smoot said:

Transport Buford Finds No
Trouble at SinaIoa-U. S.
Troops to Border.

JUAREZ, Mexico, May S.-The provi
sional government established here last
Saturday by Emilio Vasquez Gomez hangs
In the balance. The reputation Of the
civil authority, which Gomez. as provi-
sional president, created to govern the
destinies Of the revolution, is today wor-
rying him greatly. Gomez and his asso.
ciates declare a misunderstanding has oc
CURED.
A messenger from Gomez was today on
his way to Orozco to place before the lat
ter certain documents calculated to clear
up the situation.
Should Orozco and Gomez fail to agree
eventually Gomez is likely to find him
self in an embarrassing position. The
Mexican government will arrest him on
a charge of treason should he venture
into federal territory. In Juarez, or the
rebel zone, now he is virtually under the
control of Orozco and to return across
the Rio Grande into the United States
friends of Gomez believe impossible.
Much depends on the military achieve
ments OF Orozco in the next few days.
News OF a decisive battle somewhere be-
tween Torreon and Jiminez was expected

JUDGE SEASE SEVERELY
ARRAIGNS WALLACE WHITLOCK

The solicitor agreeing to a fine of
$1O0, Wallace Whitlock Monday af-
ternoon pleaded guilty to the charge
of assault. Whitlock became involved
in a difficulty with Thomas Tarpley,
a railroad man lat Spartanburg juno
tion some time ago and struck Tarp-
ley in the head twice with the butt
end of a pistol. The man was badly
hurt. Samuel j. Nichols was attor-
ney for Whitlock and induced the So
licitor to agree to fine of $1OO on
condition that Mr.. Whitlock plead
guilty.
Judge Sease then sentenced the de-
fendant. This was one of the most
severe arrangements ever heard in a
Spartanburg court. The Judge told
the defendant that if the prosecuting
officer for the state had not agreed
on fine of $1O0 and if the jury had
found him guilty, he would certainly
have had to serve a sentence on the
chaingang. Judge Sease told Whit
lock that he was a very undesirable
citizen and that, if rumors be true,
and he had every reason to believe
they were true, that he (Whitlock)
conducted one of the worst joints in
Spartanburg county, and it was a
breeding place for vice. The judge
warned him if he ever appeared be-
fore him or before any other court
that he would get the limit of the law.
The denunciation was in severe terms
and Whitlock smarted under his ar
raignment.
He then wrote out a check for $1O0
and sheepishly left the court room.-

Why Farmers Keep Moving to Town

1t is a fact that the farmer keeps
moving to the city. The landlord al
ready lives there, and the reason why
the tenant moves so often from place
to place and to the city, is because the
landlord has no sufficient and eco
nomic dwelling places OH the farm.
In the city he has his water run in
the house and all the conveniences
human wishes-and good houses to
live in.
But on the farm he has to live in
an old log hut which the rain and
snow drives him from corner to cor
ner, and work hard all day and carry
water up and down a steep hill, about
half mile, winter and summer.
Carrying cows from place to place,
eating up the truck as they break
loose; he loses enough time going
down to long distant spring several
times day, in the course of one year,
to pay for we'll in the yard.
Why don't the landlord build good
houses for his tenants and have de-
cent barns and cow pastures running
up to the lot, and have we'll put in
his yard? So the tenant can enjoy
himself on the farm.
If, the landlord would make a con-
venenient and economical place for
his tenant, the tenant would enjoy
living on his land and taking the ut
most care of it. And the landlord
instead of hunting hands for his place,
the hands would be hunting him.
Mr.. Landlord, until you make it
more enjoyable, more convenien. on
the farm for the tenant, you will never
get good hand to stay on your farm
more than year at the time You
can hear the cry-"I can't get a good
hand on my place." The reason is,
you have no houses and conven .ent
places on the farm. Mr.. Landlord,
treat your tenant as yourself. Ask
him not to live in house or on an
inconvenient farm on which you would
not stay. There are some tenants
living in houses that the landlord
would not stay all night in in the
winter. Mr.. Landlord is that fair?
