SKYSCRAPER COMMENCED
Work on City National Bank Building
Started by Contractors.

The work on Sumters skyscraper
building has commenced.
The contractors Monday morning
started workmen to digging down in
the ground to depth sufficient to
place the foundation for the big seven
story building which after November,
1912, will be the home Of the City Ma
tional Bank. From now on the work
will be pushed as rapidly forward as
possible until it is completed.
During the past month the old
building has been taken down and
Saturday saw the last OF debris re-
moved from the grounds. Now the
contractor, w. Lee Harbin. of Lex
ington, y. c., has free space to place
his materials for the building which
he will erect. Council has granted
the use of the streets for piling the
building materials and it is probable
that there will be little delay in the
construction unless it OCCURS from
the inability to get materials.

FERTILIZER SHIPMENTS SMAID
approximately Seventy Per Cent OF
Last Years Shipments at This
Date. IL

The shipments of fertilizer for this
season are considerably less up to
date than they were last year at this
time when approximately all of the
fertilizer had been shipped out of
Charleston.
This information was learned Sat-
urday when it was stated at the A. c.
l.. Railroad freight depot that the
fertilizer handled this season up to
date was approximately seventy per
cent of the amount of fertilizer
handled he year up to the same
time. A. > Southern freight depot
it was - 1 that the amount handled
by t. - DAD this season was about
six a cent OF the amount handled
ear by the same time. The
. unit handled by the Northwestern
as approximately the same as that
handled by the Atlantic Coast Line.
1t was further learned that this
year, although the fertilizer season
was very much later than it was last.
there had been no congestion as there
was in 1911. when everything in the
railroad yards was tied up and de-
layed because of congestion in hand
ling the fertilizer shipments. The
fertilizer when placed on the side
tracks has been handled readily by
the farmers and there has been no
delay in the delivery like there was
last year when the farmers had good
weather for plowing and often re-
fused to stop their plowing to haul
their fertilizer. This year the rains
have helped the railroad people in
this respect for being unable to plow,
the farmers employed every good
day when the roads were not too bad
in hauling their fertilizers.
The shipments have dropped on.
somewhat in the past two days, but
considerable more fertilizer is ex-.
pected before the end Of the season.
One thing that has tended to pre-
vent congestion this season is the use
OF the big new freight yard in Char
lesion, where the fertilizer trains can
be handled easily and CLASSIFIED a.
cordinEA 10 the stations = Witch -
will be left, something thai Ms mn
possible last year, owing to the crowd
ed condition Of the yard there. This
classification Of cars before they leave
Charleston has aided the local people
considerably for they have not been
called upon to do this work which
they had to do last year, but which
should have been done in Charleston
before the trains were shipped out
from there.
There has been a little trouble
caused for few days by the recent
freshet. but as the water rapidly
went down and the small amount OF
damage done was soon repaired this
did not delay the shipments a great
deal nor did it more than fill up
the yard tracks for some days.

ALARMING RUMORs sQUELCHED.
Z. S. Government Denies Reports
Bearing OH Mexican Situation.

Washington, March ga series Of
rumors concerning the Mexican situa-
ton. covering every possible phase Of
activity on the part Of the American
Government. from actual Intervention
and the assemblage of great military
forces on the border down to the dis
patch of an embassy guard to the
Mexican Capital, surged through Off
cial Washington today.
; All the alarmist stories appeared to
have had their inception at points
where there would be naturally little
information Of plans Of the two Gov
ernments. 1t is quite certain that they
did not originate in Washington, and
as the Mexican Capital has been cut
of from telegraphic communication
with the outside world since o'clock
last night, they were attributed to
the insurgent press agents. Officials
were kept busy today denying stories
or nnifering them with additioas of
fact that deprived them wholly Of
sensational features.
1t was declared by one Government
official, and denied by another, how
ever. that the United States had per-
mitted a shipment of arms and am
munitions to go through to the Made
ro Government.
President Taft does not believe
there is ground for Intervention and
has not changed that belief as the re-
suit Of the battles in Mexico within
the last few days. Consequently, it
can be stated positively no steps have
been taken within that time to
strengthen the American military
force for operation in Mexican terri
tory. The supposition that anything
OF Importance could be done in that
direction without some knowledge on
the part Of the country at large and
direct appeal to Congress is declared
by the military authorities to be
~'N NPoi d iiiSPcCtlOH Ol the
condition Of the army within the Uni
ted States at this time.
In fact, the only action on the part
Of the Government which might be
regarded as in any way connected
with the Mexican situation was the
dispatch Of 100 standard Krag rifles
! from New York TO arm the American
colony in the City of Mexico. Even
this was done on the recommendation
of Ambassador Wilson with the full
consent Of the Mexican Government,
and with the assurance that the
American residents were to act simp-
ly as a police force and are not to
support either side in the present
struggle.
In outside circles there was talk Of
the establishment Of a small Ameri-
can military force as an embassy
guard in Mexico, like that now main
tained in Peking by the American
marines, but Ambassador Wilson has
not asked for any such force and it
will not be sent otherwise.
