Insurgents Appeal to wilson.

Tucson, Ariz. Especial. I'VE pray
you not to permit the nations of Euope
to make the United States an agency
20 collect moneys that they have ad-
vanced or have agreed to advance for
the support of the murderous Huerta
government"
This petition was wired to President
Wilson by Ignacio Pesquiera, the con-
stitutional governor of Sonora.
The insurgent governor of Sonora
further asserts that Huerta is back OF
European powers in urging declara-
ton of the attitude of the United
States toward Mexican affairs.
The message to President Wilson
continued:
These nations have advanced their
money with full knowledge that it was
to be a uprising government. Now
when Huerta and his followers
find they are being crushed they ap-
peal to the powers which have advanc-
ed money to him, that they force the
Gnited States to grant him recogni-
ton.
aThe people of Mexico who have
been fighting winning battles to sus-
tain the regular government protest
against this attempt to take from them
their hard won Iaurels. The state
troops have protected and always will
protect American interests in Mexico.

the Western North Carolina fair to be

an innovation in connection with ag-
cultural fairs in this State.

and fancy work or literary efforts will
find many attractive things listed to
which they can turn their sklilIul
hands in an effort to win prizes gwen
for superiority.
The Fair association announces the
Inauguration of this feature of it's work
for the purpose of interesting the boys
and girls of Western North Carolina
and Identifying them more closely.
with fair work. knowing that their ef-
forts will contribute to the progress
and development of all communities
in which this class of work is under
taken.
The Boys and Girls Department is
an experiment, which, if it arouses
sufficient inforocf RI i11SfifV Will be
made much more attractive next year.
In order to stimulate interest in this
department, the management of the
Fair association announces that con-
testants for several free college schol-
arships to be given away in the con-
test to begin in August, will be credit
ed with twice as many points for ex-
hibits secured from boys and girls as
will be given for similar service IN

Hendersouville the first City in Western
North Carolina to have Regular
Band Concerts
MUSIC EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING AT THE
COLONIAL CLUB PARK
If Rain Interrss Concert will be Given Following Evening

One of the most important steps
ever taken for the summer guests has
inst been consummated. Few there
must be cited who do not enjoy the
music rendered by a splendid sixteen
piece band. Captain George w
Burke, Jr., who is the director is a
musician leader of rare skill, which
alone prophesies that these concerts
are going to be a success.
Months ago the Greater Henderson
vile Club began band concert cru
sade. ALI wanted band concerts but
the way was not quite clear as to how
it could be arranged. All those mat
ters have been now arranged.
Every Tuesday and Friday evenings
from $50 to 7:30 o'clock these de-
hghtful concerts will be given at the
Colonial Club. This beautiful park
formerly known as the Noterman pro-
perty, will be thrown open to the pub
lie. The gates will be wide open for
automobiles, carriages and pedes-
irons alike. Ample seating capacity
is arranged for the low price Of ten
cents for adults and five cents for
children. There is no admission how
ever to the grounds.
Every one is earnestly solicited to
attend these concerts, if not for the
whole concert, at least of an hour.
1t is important to remember that II
weather conditions interfere with the
concerts they will be held on the toll
lowing evening.
Everybody invited.

Turkeys Attitude.
Constantinople Especial. ~ The gov

Ottoman troops as far as the strong
hold Of Adrianople which was captured
" Bulgarians after a prolonged siege
during the recent Balkan war.
The government intends to take this
bold action not only because Of the
material advantages to be gained, but
because Of the moral effect it will
have on Turkeys internal situation.
It is expected that by this means
the position of the government win
be strengthened and it is felt that
even if the powers insist on bringing
pressure to bear to compel the main
tenance Of the future frontier line be-
tween Turkey and Bulgaria from Enos
on the Aegean sea to Mida on the
Black sea, Turkey will yet be in
position to enforce the autonomy Of
the province of Thrace
Thus far, however, the powers have
not advanced any communication to
the Turkish government on the sub
