SPANISH KING PLEADS TO SEE THE U. S.

King Alfonso of Spain is likely to
pay visit to the United States some
time this summer. The Spanish gov
eminent is now considering a pro-
posal which emanated from the king
himself, who has long desired to visit
America. He has several times made
similar proposals which have been
rejected by the government under
the mistaken notion that the animosi-
ties created by the war between
Spain and the United States are still
warm.
Since last year King Alfonso has
been combating this idea and has
been reinforced in his opinions by
the personal experiences of Captain
Vincens, the Spanish attache at Lon
dom, and another officer who visited
the Unitetd States last summer
When Alfonso was in England in
August he sent for Captain Vincens
and questioned him about his trip to
the United States.
The Spanish king insisted upon
getting from the attache every
ynin1ta detail in regard tn the TTnitad

LAscuRAlN SAYS THE REVOLUTION is OVER

Senior Don Pedro Lascurain, min
lister of foreign relations of Mexico,
who spent a few days in this country
recently, does not regard the future
of his country as being nearly so
dark as some people have pictured
1t. On the contrary, he is filled with
optimism, and predicts an era OF
great prosperity for Mexico, in which
he, expects and hopes the United
States will share.
When asked by a reporter as to
the accuracy of recent reports of con-
tinued rebel activity and for state
ment as to the prospect Of perma-
nent peace, he said:
There has been much misrepre-
sentation regarding our affairs. The
situation In Mexico today is very
much like that which existed In this
country during the latter part of your
Indian campaigns. Tranquility pre-
walls everywhere save in a few re-

Money Tight in Mexico.

Mexico City, Oct. 31.-The govern
ment encountered some difficulty in
meeting its payrolls for the ten days
ending today. In some of the depart
ments only partial payment was made
with the promise that the balance
would be forthcoming tomorrow.
Later, however, the government Sc
cured funds and tonight began giving
the men in all departments their
money.
Rumors of the inability of the adj
ministration to meet its financial en-
agements spread over the city togeth-
er with another 2ersistently circulated
rdmor that President Huerta purposed
to levy a tax Of fifteen per CEN on all
bank deposits.
The latter report spread to such an
extent that many persons withdrew

WESTERN CAROLINA OFFICERS
ARE ASKED TO RESIGN.
gficers Don't Like Tenor oil Letter
From McReynolds-Fight Goes

In a formal letter Attorney General
McReyonlds has requested the resig-
nation of District Attorney Holton AMI
Marshal Logan, of the western dis
trict, and District Attorney Seawela and
Marshal Dockery of the eastern dis
trict. This is in line with the de-
mands made upon the attorney gem
eral by the North Carolina senators:
The letter of the attorney general
has Of course been treated as official
business and therefore confidential,
brttbose who have been permitted to
see the official note are amazed at its
tenor. In fact. it is declared by
friends that the Republican officials
could not we'll resign under the YER
biage of the McReynolds letter without
appearing to impeach the character OF
their own services to the government.
The letter is said to set forth that the
department wishes to effect certain
changes to alter conditions" in the
districts and to that end desire the
resignation of those now holding
the Offices.
None of the officials concerned viii
resign. On the contrary, they will
carry the fight t the White House
should that drastic step become neces-
sary and the President may be asked
to tell the country what he meant
when he declared that Republicans
should not be removed for purely POI
litical reasons
The attorney general does not init
mate what changes he desires made in
the service, nor does he charge that
any part of the service has been I'M
satisfactory. Nevertheless the de-
partment asks that the designations be
so worded as to indicate that the res
emit oficeholders are effacing them
selves to the end that the suppositious
changes can be made. AS before
fore stated, none of those concerned
have the slightest idea of resigning,
unless their mountain friends are
greatly in error.

80 FUNDs FOR WIDOWS, HOME.

The council of State having referred
t. Attorney General Beckett the ques
ton of the power of the council to au-
thorize the borrowing of the $4,000
appropriation by the legislature at the
regular session, for the North Carolina
home for wives and widows of Con-
federate veterans, the attorney general
holds that there is no authority for
such action. This leaves the home
building commission with nothing to
do but wait until the legislature meets
again to take further action and de-
fnitely provide for the $4,000, which
was left out of the bond issue after the
act making the appropriation was
made. The commission has already
selected the site at Fayetteville and
has received plans from competing
architects for a building that was to
cost $11,25O and take care Of 20 women.
It is alleged that there are three thou
sand ome in the state that deserve
to be taken care of if the state under
takes such a thing. For this reason
numbers of state officers and others
are really well pleased that the act OF
the legislature to provide the home has
fcllen through on account OF impossi
bility Of getting the state appropria-
ticn.

DURHAM FARMERS PROGRESSIVE
Have More Than TripIed Sales of
Their Money Crops.

That Durham county farmers ale
going in for bigger things in the way
Of aricultural production is indicated
from the reports of the amount of
gross, oats, rye and clover seed that
have been sold during the past two
months. In this the local dealers
have disposed of between seven and
eight thousand bushels of these seed.
This is three times as much as has
even been sold, in a whole season in
previous years, and the merchants
and seed dealers are expecting to sell
a great deal more before the planting
season is over. These figures are
furnished by the merchants through
through the county farm demonstra-
tor.
About three thousand bushels Of
the total amount we're clover and grass
seed. The remainder was made up
OF the larger feed stuffs. The unusu-
ally purchases not only indicates that
Durham county farmers are going In
for bigger crops next year, but it is
also a healthy indication of the trend
towards a diversification of crops,
which has been so strenuously advo-
Gated by the farm journals and de-
partment of agriculture.
Cotton and tobacco has been the
great crop in Durham during all the
years mast. These have been the
money crops. This year the farmers
planted a great deal of feed crops,
an dthe local market has perhaps sold
more feed this year than in many
years past. 'Pea-vine hay is also be
ing grown, and much has been sold III
Durham. A few of the farmers are
experimenting with alfalfa with very
Interesting and profitable results.
The Durham farmers have also
planted an unusually large crop of
wheat this year. Many o fthem have
been hindered in this work because of
the fact that they nave engaged tobac-
CO while the prices were high, but as
a rule the wheat crop surrounding
Durham is heavy.

dropping unless they renovate the

item keep that pace up a dozen years
and there will be a steady decline in
the field.

of Gaffney, is beginning a reform. He
went to Winston-Salem a few days

enough to give him a start in the bus
mess. He has the land on small
branches, and hillsides admirably suit

can increase his p%asturage and winter
feed until he can support a herd of so
