L|ND'S ARRIVAL
 CAUSES FURRY President Wilson's Person al Representative Reaches
 Vera Cruz, Mexico
DOES NOT LEAVE SHIP
Believed That Threats Have Been Made Against His Life-TO Mexi-
 co City Today.

Vera Cruz, Aug. 9.-John Lind, per- sonal envoy of President Wilson, ar rived here today on the Battleship Louisiana. He had sailed for Mexico from Galveston on the New Hamp- shire, but was transferred before his arrival here. There was no excite ment among the Mexicans in Vera Cruz over the arrival of the American envoy, whose appearance in Mexico City is expected to bring a culmina- tion of the diplomatic crisis between President Huerta and the United States government.
 According to reports current when MT. Lind arrived here, the American state department had planned to hold him here until Sunday before starting on the final stage of his journey to Mexico City This trip by train will require twelve hours.
 Mir. Lind arrived before he was ex- pected and took by surprise William W. Canada, United States consul. Mr. Canada took immediate steps to well come Mir. Lind and it was understood that the two would confer with MT. Bayard Hale, who has been President Wilson's personal representative
 Although the Mexicans showed no excitement over Mr. Lind's arrival, a thrill was caused among the American colony when it became known that the following wireless dispatch had been flashed ahead of the ship bearing him:
 Governor Lind wishes to see the United States consul and Admiral Fletcher immediately upon his arrival at Vera Cruz"
 No explanation for this conference could be secured before the arrival of Mr. Lind With the arrival of the Louisiana and New Hampshire here the United States has a formidable naval representation. When Mr. Lind was seen by the representative of the International News Service on ship board, he was reticent as to his plan of action. He intimated, however, that his departure for Mexico City might be deferred until Monday
 Though there was no demonstration when the ship came into port, a large crowd gathered as soon as it became generally known that the envoy was aboard. Considerable disappointment was expressed when it became known that he would not land immediately Whether this decision was reached be- cause of threats against the envoy s life is not known, but such is the cur rent belief
 Several hours after Mir. Lind ar rived pr. Hale went aboard the Louisiana and was for some time in conference with the envoy. At the conclusion of their talk neither would make statement, MT. Lind maintain Ing silence on the advice of Dr. Hale. Later in the day MT. Lind landed and went to the United States con- sulate where he will stay until he
 starts for Mexico City

Fire Committee of the City Council and Mayor Bloom
 Confer With Agent
TO REPLACE WAGONS
Auto Trucks Will Give Much More Efficient Service and Lower
 Insurance Rates.

Mayor Bloom and the fire commit tee of the city council, composed of Aldermen Hut, Sorrells and Simpson, and Fire Chief A. c. Briener, met with R. R. McNemar, Southern representa- tive of the White Automobile Fire Ap- paratus Company, of Cleveland, Ohio, last night in the council chambers, to discuss the purchasing of an automo- bile apparatus for the city fire depart ment to replace the old wagon and team, known as Company No 8. The team at No. 3 house has grown old in service, while the wagon is just about worn out, and since it will be neces- sary to replace this equipment at an early date, it was deemed advisable to look into the matter of purchasing an automobile combination truck. Mir. McNemar came here to set forth the advantages of an auto apparatus, and the committee were intensely inter- ested in the many advantages set loIlH ny tieiI NlSIIOT III ldVOT OI pow CT driven fire fighting machines.
 The committee will look further in. to the ways and means" and will re- port at a future meeting.
 It was decided at this meeting that the city would ask for bids on 2,O0C feet of 2 1-2 inch fire hose and sup. plies to approximate $45O, the notice for which will be printed the coming week.
 The installation of motor driven appartus, with the addition of two ex. tra men, which was ordered at the last council meeting, places Pine Bluff in the same column with Little Rock in the matter of fire insurance rates.
 It is only matter of short time until the teams and wagons of this city must be replaced with either new appartus and young horses or auto mobile apparatus. and this is probably tn efirst step in placing our firt fighting brigade among the top notchers" in this state.

The number of bales of cotton
ginned in South Carolina during the
present season, prior to December
l, amounted to 1,160,815 bales. OF
1925 bales more than for the
same period last year, according to
the figures given out by the United

| Mr. w E Nesmith of Cades has
leased the building occupied last
season by Gass. Gorrell & Currin as
"Gorrell's Tobacco Warehouse" and
will conduct a tobacco warehouse
here aext year. Mr. Nesmith has
also purchased the dwelling owned
by Mrs Belle Blakeley, in North
Kingstree, and will remove his fam
lily here as soon as practicable after
the advent of the new year. These
good people will be in every respect
desirable citizens and we take pleas
ure on behalf of the town in well
coming them in our midst,
We ask our readers as a special
favor to patronize the business firms
that advertise in The Record. 1t is
due to these enterprising men that
we are able to get out paper like
The Record for the small sum of
S1.00 year, so that they help them
selves, our readers and us, all to-
gether. 1t is q mutually cooper
ative relation and the greatest fac
tor of the combination is the con-
certed action of our subscribers in
responding to the invitation extend
ed them by these enterprising
business houses through our COL
umns.
On account of advertising and
correspondence coming in after our
time limit, we are again late in is
suing the paper this week. We, of
course, regret having to send out the
paper late so often, but it is a mat
ter of impossibility to set the type
until the copy" comes in and it is
equally impossible to set the type
for the whole paper in one or two
days. We try to be accommodating
when new ads, changes for old ones
and correspondence come in late,
but it is simply impossible to get
out on time until our friends learn
to send in their copy before Wednes-
day and Thursday.
In response to the call published
in the last issue of The Record.
good representation of the business
men of Kingstree attended the mass
meeting at the court house Monday
night to consider ways and means
tending to the furtherance Of the
Kingstree tobacco market and ad-
vertising the same for the season Of
1914. The meeting was a very har-
monious one, and the work of raising
funds by subscription and the pro-
noting of an advertising campaign
was placed in the hands Of the COM
mittee who carried on the work last
season. Capt Jno A Kelley was ap-
pointed a committee of one to con-
duct negotiations with railroad Off
cials in regard to securing special
rates OF tobacco shipped to the local
market for sale.

Formation of werldU.

There are two hypotheses in reference to the condition of the matter of the universe at the moment when science begins its discussion of the formation of the worlds. Both these agree that the matter was in nebulous condition As Professor Young says: This does not assume that matter was created in a nebulous condition. As the egg may be taken as the starting point for the life history of the animal, So the uebula may be taken as the starting point for the life history of the planet ary slstem." On one theory the nebula was in the form of heated gas; on the other, 1t was a cloud of cold me teoric dust. This latter many astron' omers think is more likely to be true Scientific American.

ROAR OF THE ARCTIC.
sullsn Thunder of the Gales and the
 aVoiees of tho los."


 "Voiees of tho lee"
 Most of us cherish t3e Idea that in the far reaches of the Arctic circle there prevails on everlasting death Ike stiffness. But those who have spent much time lu the far north as- sure us that that region is far from being silent. although 80 little life Is manifest for the greater uart of the year.
 On polar seas the ice, though thick and solid as granite, Is hardly ever stiil. There are tides in the arctic, and these lift and lower the huge ice6elds, causing them to give out all manner of noises. Even as late as November the pack will wake up without warn ing and pile itself In huge heaps with indescribable crashings, groanlngs and roarincs. Peary speaks of the 'rabid roar" of the "tumbling chaos of ice blocks" His Esikimos were terribly frightened and set up weird howHngS The dogs whined and parked, and alto. gether the noise was terrific Every arctic explorer has given similar ae- counts
 The movements of tbe ice-the grad ual crowding and pressing, bending and pushing. the breaking of the masses of snow lying at the "lce foot" have given rise to the expression of explorers, 'The voices of the Ice" It may be that one will hear a low sing ing. splashing or grumblIng, Rlternat- ing with various other sounds, crack Ing and snapping. These sound irreg- ularly from a great distance. Ike confusion of human voices, the racket of a railway train or the skurryirg of a sledging party. Then, again, the noises are such as to cause the eX- plorer to fancy he hears the steps and voices of various species of animals.
 Spring Is the noiSlest time in the po- lar seas. Mcclure of the Investigator compared the breaking up or the ice at that season to heavy thunder or the sound of great guns. Another writer Hkened the sound of the breaking ice foe to that produced by volcanic eruption.
 Moreover, the air iH the arctic re- gIons Is seldom absolutely still. Gales are frequent The winter winds, ac- cording to Peary, blow with almost unimagiuable fury. On one occasion fin the cabins of the Roosevelt the sound resembled that of some gigantic power plant, everything vibrating to the pulsadon of the machinery. The whole atmosphere was filled with the deep, sullen roar of the wind, ard SO thick was the cloud of snow picked up and swept forward on the wings of the gale that powerful lamps were invisl- .ble ten feet away.
 On high ground, such as that ot in. ner Greenland. the wind is never still Nansen tells of the constant hiss Of the breeze laden with tiry bits of ice, which flowed along knee high like shining white river glittering In the pale arctic sunlight
 Nor Is there lack of sounds caused by animal life. In the arctic may ot- ten be heard the paying of wolves and the barking Of seal, while in the sum- mer the harsh cry of sea birds echoes along the faces of the cliffs.-Harpers Weekly.
