Mexico.
1t became known that all the secre-
taries favored steps which would con-
vince Huerta that the United States
was in earnest in it's demands. Some
OF the cabinet members recognized in
the lifting of the embargo on arms a
practical and perhaps early solution
OF the difficulty, but there was no final
decision on the point.
There is a hope on the part of the
president and Secretary Bryan that a
measure so radical as permitting eX-
portations of arms may not be re-
CURED to solve the problem. Influ-
enees are at work which, in the opin-
ion OF many officials, may force the
early collapse of the Huerta regime.
There is closer understanding and
more frequent communication be-
tween the state department and for
elgn governments generally than has
been in evidence at any time since the
Mexican problem came so widely in
ternational Through ambassadors
abroad and through the diplomatic
corps in Washington, Secretary Bryan
is giving such detailed information of
the American policy as to leave no
doubt of what the United States
wishes accomplished. So far as is
known, there have been no direct re-
quests for foreign support, but. the
strong intimation that the United
States would like foreign nations to
refrain completely fro interference
in the affairs of the Huerta govern
ment are expected, to produce tangi-
BILE results.
That President Wilson might posi-
bly, issue statement in a day or two
making comprehensive explanation
of the purposes of the United States
was intimated. The president. it is
said, has not finally determined whe-
Their he shall make another pronounce
ment.

The president feels that members of
the committee, Republicans and Dem

of the executive and he is giving SER
ious consideration to their views as to
the removal of the embargo on arms.
1t was reported that Sir Edward
Tyrrell, private secretary to the Brit

them in long report to London. The

forward in their seats expectantly as
the men filed out. After answering
to their names the jury was asked by
Clerk Bennett whether they had
agreed. Foreman Lee replied In the
affirmative and handed in the indict-
ment. Clerk Bennett then read: en-
dictment against Will Fair for rape.
Not guilty. Joseph Lee, foreman"
Judge Gage then commended the ju-
rors for their verdict and the special
term Of court ordered by Governor
Blease adjourned. 1t Is reported au-
thentically that not one Of the jurors
had stood out for conviction Tor one
moment. On entering their room, It
is reported, the first ballot taken
showed that six men were for acquit-
tai, while six were in favor Of putting
the responsibility Of freeing Will Fair
upon the shoulders Of another jury,
as they seemed to fear that something
might result If they freed the accused
negro. All night long the ether jurors
argued with these six men In vain,
and 1t had begun to look hopeless un-
til Judge Cages charge was again
read to them at noon today. After
hearing this once more the men who
hesitated to vote for acquittal, 1t Is
said, agreed to acquit Fair. When
the jury announced that VIII Fair
was free there was no evidence that
anyone in the court room was sur
prised. On the contrary, there SEEM
ed to be many men who had been con-
fident Of his acquittal from the very
and there seemed to be
general satisfaction at the verdict.

LAST WEEKS RAIN

There has been quite lot OF dis
cussion Of last weeks rain and the
subject has developed no little differ
ence Of opinion on its value, some peo-
pie being of opinion that 1t was harm
full and others that 1t was beneficial.
A large class Of people give express
sion to the might have been" idea;
that is that IL the rain had come a
month ago. it would have been Of
very great help to the cotton and corn
crops.
One idea held by not few Is that
the rain did lot Of harm in the way
of retarding cotton picking and max
ing mud to injure such cotton as has
fallen to the ground.
There are numerous persons who
consider that the rain was exactly the
right thing at exactly the right time,
to give badly needed season for the
sowing Of alfalfa, grass and clover
seed as we'll as wheat and oats.
One farmer from a few miles east
Of Yorkville, said yesterday morning,
that crops were late in his neighbor-
hood, and although he had previously
been Of opinion that both cotton and
corn had done their do without hope
of further help on account OF rain or
anything elese, he is now satisfied that
both crops have been helped very
materially. OF course this idea has
application only where the crops are
late, as in his section.

WANTS Works. TOBACCO

The recent editorial in The Enquirer
on the subject of tobacco raising IN
York county was reproduced in the
Charlotte Observer, with the result Of
interesting a tobacco warehouseman at
Statesville, N. c., who would increase
his trade. Although 1t Is not to be ex-
pected that the advertising involved
will be of any present value, there is
no objection to reproducing the letter.
statesville, N. C. Sept. 13, 1913.
Yorkville Enquirer,
Yorkville, s. c.
Dear sirs:
Your clipping referred to in the
Charlotte Observer Of Sept. 9th, regard
ing the raising of tobacco In York
county Is very timely. And as you say.
as good tobacco can be raised there as
anywhere In your state, and as for
marketing same for remunerative
price will say that Statesville, one OF
the oldest markets In North Carolina,
selling from q larger territory than
would include York county; and at the
same time manufacturing more tobao-
GO than 1t sells, having two plug and
two smoking tobacco factories besides
leaf dealers representing all parts OF
the world, can give the desired results
as to the profitable marketing.
The cruel world has changed some
what as to the times and there Is no
longer any use for the farmers of your
county to raise good tobacco at loss;
and should you get your people inter-
ested enough to try the planting OF to-
bacco again, we are certain that we
can make It to their advantage to con-
suit with Statesville as a market.
Yours truly,
Planters Warehouse.

Sims and Weston.-Francis H. Wes-
ton of Columbia, 8. c., has been agreed
upon by President Wilson and Attor-
ney General McReynolds to be United
States district attorney for the district
Of South Carolina. Mr.. Weston, who is
now a state senator, has been promi-
nent in politics and was strongly en-
dorsed by Senator Smith OF South Car
olina.
James L. Sims of orangeburg, s. c..
has been selected as United States
marshal for the same district. He was
urged by Senator Tillman. The two
nominations are expected to go to the
senate on Monday.
Thus the administration has brought
to an end a long contest between Sena-
tors Smith and Tillman for the two
principal Federal offices In South Caro-
lima. The selection Of a Smith man for
United States district attorney, and q
Tillman supporter for marshal Is look
ed upon by administration officials as q
satisfactory solution Of the contest.
Senator Tillman had endorsed Will
liam Thurmond for the district attor-
neyship, and department Of justice Of
ficials had given favorable reports upon
the questions Of both men. 1t Is said
that one Of the reasons for the selec-
ton Of Weston was to show In an in
direct way that the administration
would favor the reelection of Senator
Smith, who goes before the primaries
next August.-Associate dispatch of
Saturday from washington.

Mr.. Leon M. Green Is to open a news
bureau in Columbia beginning today
and will deal with news as commod-
ity which he will sell to such newspa-
pers as desire to patronize him at GER
tain fixed compensation as will be sat
isfactory to both parties. The state
ment published some time ago to the
effect that Mr.. Green's bureau was to be
kind of political press agency, has
been contradicted by him, and from
what we know Of this gentleman we
are prepared to accept what he says as
true, certainly until there Is some tan
gible evidence to the contrary. We con-
slider Mr.. Green as one Of the. most
capable news correspondents with
whom we have had acquaintance In
this state, and while we do not expect
to try to maintain regular special cor
respondence from Columbia, we will
certainly not hesitate to call upon Mr..
Green for such special news stories as
we may from time to time require from
the capital. So far as we have infor-
nation, Mr.. Green Is not attached to
any particular newspaper at present;
but that he will be able to make desir-
able connections within the next few
weeks or months, we have no reason
to doubt.

The petition for the pardon Of Hard
wick sets forth statements by negroes
to the effect that they have heard John
Henry, now fugitive. say that he had
killed a man and another man was
serving his time.
The counter petition sets forth that
the signers thereof believe that Hard
wick was properly convicted, and that
to pardon or parole him would not be
in accordance with right and justice.

The New York World has thrown
something Of bombshell into congress
sional circles by offering to supplement
the $4,000 salary Of Mr.. Bryan as Sec
retary Of state with $4,000, and raise
his pay to $4,000 If he will give up the
lecture platform, and devote himself
entirely to the duties Of his office.
When the offer was first published last
Thursday. Republican congressman got
busy to put it into the Congressional
Record, and it is probable that there
will be bill to raise the salary to the
last named figure, conditioned on the
secretary's exclusive attention to gov
ernment business.

Senator MeLaurin's Explanation

We are printing today from the Co
lumbia Record. Senator McLaurin's
story Of certain private business exper-
fences intended to answer widespread
insinuations Of questionable conduct
while a member Of the United States
senate.
The public Of course remembers that
these insinuations had their origin In
the publication Of letters from Senator
McLaurin to John D. Archbold, which
letters were a part Of the contents of
files stolen from Mr.. Archbold's office
some years ago.
So far as the general public Is con-
cerned, we have never seen any indica-
tion Of any very general interest in these
letters. UP to the time the letters be-
gan to figure, the political hue and cry
against Mr.. McLaurin was that he ia
vored protection for southern products
and wanted to create subsidized mer-
chant marine for the development sol
the commercial interests Of the south
Then there went up howl because
along with the late Senator John T
Morgan Of Alabama, he refused to be
bound by the then narrow policy Of the
Democratic party in trying to defeat
the ratification Of the peace treaty that
sought to end the war with Spain. Peo.
pie familiar with those days remember
how Mr.. McLaurin was vilified and
abused in connection with whatever he
did about anything and many will be
struck with the circumstance that since
the Marlboro mans temperance ir
public life, about the only thing thai
has been brought up against him is
such insinuations as can be based upor
those Hearst-Archbold letters.
We have kept pretty close tab on the
situation, and up to the present time
we do not remember that anybody ol
any newspaper has ever undertaken tc
make a specific charge of wrong doing
There has been nothing but insinua'
tions, and the political purpose Of these
insinuations has been 80 apparent ant
transparent that the general public hat
never been disposed to give the matter
much concern.
Although Mr.. McLaurin's story deals
only with his private business, a mat
ter that can hardly be considered to bt
anybody else's business, he has dons
very we'll to make the whole mattel
public, II for no other reason than t
show that he Is not afraid OF the
strongest light that can be thrown or
either his public or business life.
But now that there has been 30 much
hullabaloo about the matter, and Mr.
McLaurin has seen proper to come out
in open and specific denial even Of the
insinuations. it seems to us that those
who have been responsible for the cir.
culation Of the stories should either
put up or shut up. If there is any foun.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1913-09-23

dation at all for the original coloring,
it appears that there is in this state
ment plenty Of detail to afford ample
opportunity for contradictions. and If
Mr.. McLaurin can be fairly convicted
Of lying about matter like this. the
question as to whether he had guilty
connection with the Standard Oil COM
pany or any body else, will be of no
further Importance so far as the pres
ent or future confidence Of his fellow
citizens is concerned. -

Mr.. ]. l. Sims is being annoyed by q
story to the effect that he edited Re-
publican newspaper for negroes at
Kingstree previous to 1875. and has
published a statement in the Columbia
State making emphatic denial. He ad-
mits that he worked as a compositor on
such a newspaper; but states that he
had nothing whatever to do with the
editorial or business management. The
statement is backed by letters from diff
ferent prominent citizens confirming
what Mr.. Sims has to say.
