Gen. Villa Takes Millions of creeI and
Terrazas.

Gen. Villa Takes Millions OF Creel ano
Terrazas.
Juarez, Mexico, December 16.-All
the property of Louis Terrazas Sr.,
Enrique Creel and Joaquin Creel, in
cluding banks. mines. vast areas OF
lands, thousands Of head Of cattle,
homes and personal effects, were or
dered confiscated to the rebels in an
official decree issued by Gen. Francis
co Villa today.
Mr. Terrazas, now a refugee In the
United States, is one Of the richest
men in Mexico. His holdings Of about
two thirds of the state Of Chihuahua
are said to place him among the most
extensive landholders Of the world.
The combined estate Of the Terrazas
and the Creel brothers, his nephews,
is valued at many millions Of dollars.
Enrique Creel was formerly ambassa-
dor from Mexico to the United States.
General Villas decree, issued at
Chihuahua City, was sent to Juarez
and given out officially. 1t was in
tended as a notice that should the rev.
olution succeed neither the Terrazas
nor the Creel families would be allow
ed any indemnity for their losses.
The decree accuses the Creels and
the Terrazas family of Withholding tax
alton and of fcmenting the treacher-
cry of Orozco and Huerta," and states
that the property shall be given to
the widows and orphans caused by
bloodshed among the Mexicans. All
contracts made with the Creels and
Terrazas since February 1S, 1913, are
declared void.
Luis Terrazas, Jr., eldest son Of the
land owner, is held prisoner at Chi
huahua and the rebels have appro-
priated to their use as much Of the
movable property as they could seize.
Efforts were made by rebel leaders
working directly with General Villa
today to effect some sort Of settle
ment in regard to the property Of the
expelled Spaniards.
1t was said that proposal was
made to invoice all the property and
to allow the claims to rest against the
rebel government General Villa re-
piled he was willing to pay for the
property in so-called Constitutionalist
money, which the Spaniards declared
to be worthless.
Two hundred more refugees, in
Guiding Americans and Spaniards,
reached Ell Paso from Chihuahua to-
day.
Among the arrivals was Mrs. Ma
rion Letcher, wife Of the United States
consul at Chihuahua. Mrs. Letcher
said if the consul had been prevented
by Villa from sending cipher mes
sages to Washington as had been re-
ported by refugees, she had not heard
Of it.
Threatened with an attack at Chi
huahua by federals. reported to have
advanced northward from Torreon,
General Villa today dispatched 1000
rebels as an advance guard to head
off the federal troops.
The decision Of the federal troops
TO show greater aggressive action was
believed to have resulted from the fact
that the rebels had to scatter their
forces in following General Mecardos
retreat Villa has about 5000 SOL
diers in the vicinity Of Ojinaga and
1000 in Juarez, which leaves him less
than 5000 in Chihuahua.
With Torreon, an important rail-
road center, directly south of Villas
present positions, the federals have a
base from which the rebels believe a
movement toward Chihuahua has be-
gun.

The Edgefield Advertiser, in glanc-
ing at its exchanges, takes occasion to
fiatter itself in a very delicate man
ner. while ostensibly the compliment
is intended for The Enquirer. Listen
to what it says:
"The Enquirer always does what
some Of our other exchanges do not;
viz: 1t sends us one Of its best printed
copies. In some offices 1t seems to be
the habit to lay aside the poorest and
most illegible sheets for exchanges;
whereas. to our view. they ought to be
provided with the very brightest and
most inviting ones. The Enquirer,
acting upon this view, always comes
like q well dressed, sparkling eyed
visitor, with every lineament palpably
and unmistakably developed"
The Advertiser is one Of our most
welcome exchanges; but we are not
so partial as to send it one Of our best
printed copies. We send the same
kind to all-readers and exchanges
But we are glad that our friend has
spoken out on the subject, because we
are tired ourselves of the joke Of read
ing half printed sheets. If they must
be sent to any one-send such to
mean, unpaying subscribers, and let
them first put out their stupid eyes.
AS for ourselves, we can but protest
in the words of the unfortunate au-
thor.
"Will you put out mine eyes?
These eyes that never did, nor never
should,
So much as frown on you?"
But secondly we object to the COM
pliment of the district.
"The present number reports the
formation of another Temperance d.
vision in York. II we remember Alright
it Is the third or fourth division form
ed in that district. May not York
claim to be the banner district OF
Temperance in South Carolina? The
Enquirer is itself q strong advocate OF
this good cause"
York has not gained the title OF the
Banner District in the Temperance
cause by the formation Of three or
four divisions. The last division to
which the Advertiser alludes is the
tenth.
The co-partnership heretofore exist
ing between Hackett & Darwin, In
the grocery and produce business, has
been dissolved this day MAY 60, by
mutual consent.

Thursday, May 81, 1S57.-We learn
through a note from Fort Mill that
at about 8 o'clock on Thursday after
noon last, the vicinity was visited by
a frightful hail storm, which destroy
ed the growing crops, vegetation,
fences, etc. The ground was covered
with green leaves as thickly as If the
autumnal blasts had stripped the
forest Of its foliage. The hail drift
ed in some places to one and two feet
deep, and it was Of such great size as
to have endangered the life Of any one
exposed. No person, however, was in
jured that we have heard Of. The hail
storm was succeeded a short time af-
terwards e o'clock p. NO. by rain ac-
companied by heavy thunder and
lightning. The barn Of Mr. A. Bax-
ter Springs was struck by the light
ming and burnt down. In its range
downwards, the flash killed one mule
and two fine milk cows. 1t was with
great difficulty that the remainder OF
the team shut up inside were rescued
from the flames, as well as the stables
and other buildings Of the vicinity.
Besides the destruction Of the barn,
one of the best in the country, Mr..
Springs lost a large amount Of fodder,
oats, etc., together with a granary at
tached, containing wheat and other
grain; carriage and horses, plantation
gearing and various implements.
We have not learned the full extent
of the damage done, nor the scope Of
the country visited by the storm; but
in the vicinity of Clay Hill, it laid
waste the wheat fields and damaged
cotton to a considerable extent.

Fortunate is the one who can eat
"anything' without suffering h tor
lures Of dyspepsia, but as few are so
fortunate care should be taken in the
matter of diet. Eating slowly, masti-
eating the food thoroughly and taking
a short walk after the heavy meal Of
the day will do much toward assisting
digestion. Any grown-up person ought
t. know the peculiar foods that do not
agree, and these should be avoided.
When these c~ommon-sense aids fail,
the next thing to do is to take a mild
t digestive tonic with laxative properties.
and there is none better than DR.. Cald-
| wells Syrup Pepsin. 1t contains the
greatest of all aids to digestion, good

It's action is to tone and strengthen
the stomach and bowel muscles so tlat
