port on the District loan shark bill short

DISCUSSED FERTILIZERS.
E. J. Watson and Charles Z. Ellis
Come Near Clash.

The business mems meeting at
Richmond, Va, Wednesday, discuss
ed farm questions, speakers charging
that the economic disabilities OF
Southern agriculture are due to un'
scientific farming and to the relent'
less use Of fertilizers as substitute
for scientific crop rotation. The an
swer to this, it was urged, was educa-
ton in the schools and on the farms
and by demonstration work as car
ried on by the department OF agrl'
culture and the various states.
A clash between representatives OF
the fertilizer interests and the agr1'
culturists was nearly precipitated
during the session OF the business
mems conference when Commission
er Watson of South Carolina turned
declaring that millions Of dollars hae
been lost in his State by this art1
fetal means Of enriching the soil.
During his talk he was interrupt
ed by Chas. E. Ellis, representing
savannah concern, who questioned
certain sections Of his statement. ..
am here in the interest Of the fertil
ibers," declared Mr.. Ellis, "and car
not remain quiet when they are ma
ligned."
He was interrupted by Mr.. Watson
who explained that he had not mean
TO imply that the fertilizers had beer
worthless themselves, but they hat
been applied uselessly and Witnou
scientific methods. This statemen
was accepted by Mr.. Ellis, and tn'
storm blew over.

WILL SERVE OUT TINE.
Not Disposed to Remove District At
torney Cochran.

The Washington correspondent OF
The State says Senator Tlllman'
Judge Ira B. Jones, Charles D.
Jones and State Senator B. E. Mich
olson of Edgefeld wednesday called
at the department Of justice and sa"
Attorney General McReynolds III be-
half of the candidacy Of William j..
Thurmond of Edgefeld for the posi-
tion of district attorney for South
Carolina to succeed Ernest Cochran.
After leaving the department II
was stated that there appears to be a
disposition on the part of the attor-
new general to take no immediate ac-
tion In the matter, which would seem
to indicate that nothing will be done
towards appointing a Democrat TO
succeed Mr.. Cochran until his term
ends February /, 1914, although only
last week Mr.. McReynolds seemed
disposed to consider the question IN
the near future.
AS a matter of fact, there are SO
many appointments coming unoer
the attorney generals jurisdiction
that it would hardly be fair to expect
him to take action, on even large
mart of them now. The probability
is. therefore, that at least for sew
eral months nothing will be done IN
the South Carolina case.

ERHARDT no BANLBERG.
The Railroad Connecting Them Is
Being Pushed On.

The Bamberg correspondent OF The
Augusta Herald says upon the com
pletion Of the new line from Ehr-
hardt to Bamberg there will be open
ed up a hitherto inaccessible track OF
fertile farm land, the development OF
which has long been the ambition OF
the people of this community.
For a number of years the people
of Bamberg has desired better meth
cd of communication with this Sec
ton of the country than has existed
heretofore. The move took definite
shape with the securing of a legisla-
tive charter for the building of
road which was to be called the BAN
berg, Ehrhardt and Walterboro Rail
way.
A considerable sum Of money was
raised by the people Of the commun'
ity, and work was commenced by the
Ajax Construction Co., who are them
selves heavily interested, financially
The officers of this company are: Mr.
W. C. Wolfe of Orangeburg, presi'
dent; Mr. Jones A. Williams, OF BAN
berg, vice-president; Mr.. E. c. Hays
Bamberg, secretary and treasurer.
Up to the present time work has
progressed steadily. All necessar!
grading has been done between BAN
berg and Ehrhardt, a distance O
fourteen miles, crossties are all II
place and little remains to be done
but to lay the rails. A trestle over
Lemon creek has been in place some
time, and one over the Salkehatchle
river swamp is nearing completion
II ia eynected that trains will be II
operation by the fall Of this year.

NOTED CASE RECALLED
NEAL NJ. HAYES SEEKS DIVORCE
FROM HIS WIFE.
Couple Formerly Acquitted at White
vile, n. c., of the Murder Of Rob
ert Floyd Some Years Ago.

A dispatch from Wilmington, n
c., says Neal NJ. Hayes, formerly OF
| Columbus County, but for some
months resident of Wilmington, has
instituted in Superior Court there for
divorce from his wife, Rosa D. Hayes.
The complaint has not yet been filed,
but the notice by publication sets out
Biblical grounds for the divorce.
Two or three years ago Hayes and
his wife gained considerable notorie-
ty, following the killing by Mrs.
Hayes OF Mr.. Robert Floyd, of Horny
County, South Carolina. She claimed
that she slew Floyd in defence of her
honor. She fred several shots into
his body after he fell mortally
wounded from the first bullet.
The people of Columbus were not
satisfied with her explanation Of the
shooting with the result that the cor
oner conducted rigid investigation.
The woman was arrested on the
charge of murder and her husband
and her ifteen-year-old brother were
arrested and charged with completely
in the killing.
The boy was discharged without
his case going to the jury. Hayes
and his wife were tried at the same
time and verdict of not guilty as to
both were returned. The trial at
tracted nationwide interest and a
number of newspapers and news
agencies had representatives at
Whitevilie to cover the trial.
The couple came to Wilmington
soon after their acquittal and Hayes
secured a position as barber, which
trade he had followed for some years.
They lived there several months and
then moved away. 1t is reported that
while Hayes was down with an at
tack of sickness Mrs. Hayes left him
with the care Of the two children.
The children are said to be in an
orphanage in South Carolina. The
present whereabouts Of Mrs. Hayes IS
unknown. After leaving Columbia
she is said to have returned to Will
mington for short time, and then
to have gone to Philadelphia, where
she may be living now. Hayes is
now living in Wilmington

MANY CHANGES TO BE NADE.
Tn the Post Office Carriers Of the
CITY of Atlanta.

The statement that Atlanta's post
office will do away with most OF the
negro mail carriers under the Demo-
cratic administration will mean more
Of change than people outside OF
Atlanta can readily imagine. There
are now several hundred negro mall
carriers in the city. 1t is they VINO
distribute the mail in practically all
Of the downtown Office buildings
and on many of the residence routes.
This movement is not in any sense
however, a drawing Of the color line.
The carriers will lose their positions
# is understood, not because they are
negroes, but because they are Repuo-
lican and Republican appointees.

THE MEXICAN Law
REVOLUTIONISTS SAY HUERTA
MUST RESIGN
March ON mexico CITY
Many Will Join Gov. Venustiano Car
ranta, Who Has Been Proclaimed
Provisional President by Various
Revolutionary Factions Now in
Arms Against Huerta Government.

Military and political leaders from
all parts of the Mexican republic are
| arriving in New Orleans daily, mos,
! of them en- route to Coahuila to join
| Gov. Venustiano Carranza, who has
been proclaimed provisional presi-
dent by various revolutionary fac
tions now in arms against the Huerta
government.
Col. Silvino M. Garcia, command
ante o. the rurale forces of the State
Of Zacatecas, who arrived Wednes-
day, declared that Carranza would be
seated as president of the republic by
June Is.
ION to Mexico City, IS the war cry
of an army Of $4,000 men which is
now being organized to march
against the capital" he said. Cen
Huerta cannot possibly muster one
fourth that number Of loyal troops
which is proven by the fact that thou
sands of the soldiers dispatched from
Mexico City against the constitutions
alists of the north have declined 10
fight and many of them have de-
serted and Joined the ranks Of the
revolution"
Col. Garcia declared that Carran-
"a within a month would be able to
mobilize an army of 10000 men, two
thirds of whom would remain on gar
rison duty throughout the republic,
while 25, 900 picked men would en-
gage in the campaign against the
capital.
He said 'Mexicans are aroused as
never before as a result Of recent
barbarities and the effort to estao-
Iish q military government more
brutal than was ever dreamed OF by
any of Huerta's predecessors. The
federal troops who are still loyal to
Huerta, he said, are raiding and
burning ranches ad even numbering
pacific residents. At Sierra da Mate
huapit, in the state of Zacetecas, ne
said, federal troops burned all the
building on several ranches because

It these places.
Col. Garcia said the state OF zace-
tecas is controlled by the revolution
;sts under the leadership Of Col.
Eulalio Gutierrez.
Serapio Aguirre, member OF the
Mexican national congress from the
ce- tral district Of Coahuila, also ar
rived en- route to Montclova, Coahul-
Ia, to Join Gov. Carranza. He dec'ar-
ed that the constiautionalists had
given their ultimatum to the Huerta
government, which was:
l. The immediate resignation OF
Huerta and his sabinet.
"2. The departure from the re-
public forthwith Of Gen. Huerta, Gen
| Felix Diaz, Gen. Mondragon and Gen
Blanauet."
"This revolution will continue,
he declared, until the last evidence
| OF this effort to re-establish military
government in Mexico has been wip'
ned out and civil government and po'
! litical justice has been again en-
throned."
He denied emphatically that any
branch Of the revolutionists Is IL
favor of secession, but were fighting
for restoration of the government te
the people.
