81 years OF age, he rivaled the young
est and the most alert of the inQuisi1
tors in the last official count.
The age limit for enumerators was
fixed at 70 years, but on account of
the excellent service Mr.. Nash had rem
dered in the past, Census Director Du-
rand made an exception in his case
:his time, making his experience all
the more remarkable
Mr.. Nash was born in Greenyille
county, South Carolina, in 1928. At the
organization OF the provisional gov
ernment Of the Confederate States at
Montgomery, Ala, he WAS offered and
accepted position as warrant clerk
to the secretary of the treasury. Lat
er, when the permanent government
was organized at Richmond, he was
elected to the office Of secretary Of the

PAINFUL IMPRESSION
IN WASHINGTON
Killing of MaderO and Suarez Causes
Feeling of Grave Concern in Ad-
ministrati0n Circles.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The killing
of Francisco /. Madero and Pine
Suarez, deposed president and vice
president or Mexico, after Provision
( al President General Huerta had as
fsured American Ambassador Wilson
of the safety OF his prisoners from
just such attacks created a painful
impression in administration circles
here today.
When the first feeling of surprise
had passed it was realized by officials
that this last tragic event had added
greatly to the gravity of the situation
and undoubtedly had placed an ad-
ditional train upon the already tense
relations between this government
and that in the Mexican capital. Still,
as President Taft himself declared,
the event in itself was not sufficient
to demand any departure from the
which so far has governed his ad-
ministration.
Hastens War Preparations.
Probably the immediate result will
be to hasten the military and naval
preparations in order to have the sol
diers and sailors and marines ready
to answer call for instant embarka
tion if further developments in Mex
leo should acmand their employ
ment.
The one danger to be apprehend-
ed, which almost certainly would re-
suit in the launching of an army of
Invasion. would be the commission of
some act or acts in Mexico that
would endanger the lives of foreign
citizens and Americans, for having
assured the diplomatic representatives
in Washington of the disposition and
ability Of this government to protect
their nationals in Mexico in the
same degree as Americans, the gov
ernment has assumed an obligation
that cannot be ignored. Therefore
any attack upon the Americans or
foreigners by the tacit consent of
the Huerta government, or even the
exhibition towards them OF mob vio-
lence clearly beyond the ability OF
the provisional governman to pre-
vent probably would be The signal
for active intervention.
The administration officials feel
that they have discharged their full
duties and exhausted their constin.
tional powers in the orders they have
given or planned for the preparation
of sufficient military and naval
force to ensure a successful entry to
the Mexican capital in case of need.
1t is practically certain that beyond
this point the executive would not
proceed except upon direct instruc-
tions from congress, as the exhibit
tion Of military force beyond the sea-
coast towns Of Mexico might be re-
garded as an act OF war which un-
der the constitution can be directed
only by congress.

The Sons OF Rest.

"Old Man" Kavanaugh had a
crouch last week, kicked like bay
steer over the name "Neversweats,
and suggested the name, "Sons of
Rest" The Grand Setter should
have Bro. Kavanaugh up on charge
of ignorance, and give him the high
est penalty, the limit, that of sleep
ing with his head at Bro. Schaper's
feet. For Bro. Kavanaugh's infor-
nation we will inform him that there
is an organization, known as the Sons
OF Rest, claiming to be higher degree
of The Noble Order of Neverswe ats.
Some of the members are "Young
Man" Curtis, DR.. Boles, Van Crew
son, Flem Harrison, Geo. Hubbard,
Paul Spurlock, and host of others.
All county and city officials are ex-
officio members. The Sons of Rest
affiliate with the Neversweats only
during election times. Aseverybody
knows the ne Plus ultra for a Never
sweat is beans and sow-belly and
hard cider, but S. of r. would
scorn anything SO common. 1t may
be this explanation, like Olney's f.
nancial statement, needs diagram
we can furnish it, but would rather
not as it is liable to stir up quite a
stink between the Neversweats and
The Sons Of Rest. Remember
! Kavanaugh started it.
