dustrious settlers in the territory on
their lines, will be made by the
Southern railway and affiliated COM

KILLS HIS FATHER.
Little Boy Says He Shot in Defence
of His Mother.

Sheriff Howard, of Aiken County,
arrested Ed. Vincent, eleven years
old, who is charged with killing his
father Monday afternoon, at Milledge-
vile in Aiken County. According to
the boys story Joe Vincent, with his
wife and five children, the oldest be-
ing Ed, lives at Milledgeville, but the
father worked at Jackson Station, al
so in Aiken County 1t seems that he
returned to his home last Friday in
half drunken condition, drinking
more or less ever since.
On Monday afternoon ne sent little
Ed to Aiken for quart OF whiskey,
and when the boy reached home, it is
said. the father became beastly drunk
He killed one OF the cats, and his
wife begged him not to kill the 9TH
er one, and this so enraged him, 1t
seems, that he swore he was going
to kill everything in the house. He
kicked his wife down ami attacked
her with a knife, the boy says, and
little Ed then took up pistol and
shot Vincent through the head, kill
ing him almost instantly.
The sight of the little boy is a pit
iful one. He is a bright little fell
low, but without any education.
When asked about the killing he
stated that he loved his daddy, and
was sorry that he shot him, but
thought he was going to kill his
mother. That is what whiskey does.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
Comptroller General"

A right to tread so softly
Beside the couch of pain;
To smooth with gentle fingers
The tangled locks again;
To watch beside the dying
In wee, small hours Of night,
And breathe a eonsecrating prayer
When the spirit takes its fight.
A right to cheer the weary
On the battlehelds of life:
To give the word of sympathy
Amid the toll and strife;
To lift the burden gently
From sore and tired hearts,
And never weary Of the task
Till gloomy care departs.
A right to be woman
In truest woman's work
If life should be hard one,
No duties ever shirk;
A right to show to others
How strong a woman grows,
When skies are dark and lowering,
And life bears not a rose.
A right to love one truly
And be loved back again;
a right to share his fortunes
Through sunlight and throug
rain;
A right to be protected
From life's most cruel blights
By manly love and courage
Sure these are woman's rights.

BANDITS WERE White
Daring and Successful Train Hold-up
on Outskirts of Birmingham, Rob-
bers Escaping After. Arrival in City
One Bandit Holds Pistol on the
Clerks and Other Rifles Mail.

The mail on the fast Louisville and
Nashville Train No. from New Or
leans to Birmingham was robbed ear
ly Tuesday night by two unidentified
white men. Ali registered mail was
taken, but no estimate of the amount
could be obtained.
When the train reached Birming-
ham on time, at S:37 o'clock P. NJ,
two of the mail clerks, George Hoov-
er and E. C. York, were found hand
cuffed. Chief Clerk Harry Everett's
thumbs we're tied together with heav-
y twine. The robbers boarded the car
at Calera, on the dark side after the
train had begun to move.
The clerks said they Immediately
were covered with pistols and oreder-
ed to turn their faces to the wall. Ev-
erett looked around and was fired at,
the shot striking near his head. The
robbers jumped from the train at
Fourteenth street, Birmingham.
Everett said both robbers were
short, slender men. He did not get
good look at their faces. The clerks
first saw the robbers jump to the mail
car on their hands and knees. One
man kept his pistols on the clerks
while the other ransacked the mail.
The distance from Calera to Birming-
ham is SO miles. Their was plenty of
time to make thorough job. No one
on the train other than the clerks ap-
parently knew the robbers were
aboard.
When the engineer stopped for the
Southern crossing at Fourteenth street
Birmingham, he glanced back and
saw the men jump from the mail car
door. This aroused his suspicion and
he Investigated.
A qucik run was made to the Louis
Vile and Nashville station where the
alarm was given. Every police sta
ton was notified and automobiles
with detectives started search. The
handouts were filed from the clerk S
wrists.
E. G. York, one Of the clerks in the
car, was in the Louisville and Nash
vile mail car which was robbed near
Broyles about year ago.

CUTTING DOWN CREDIT
Parker and Hudson Make Serious
Charge Against Banks.

Senator Tillman had inserted III
the Congressional Record Of Monday
to substantiate his assertion that atl-
nancial strlngency exists in the South
and that the farmers could not OBJ
tain money on the best of collateral
to move the cotton crop letters from
Lewis W. Parker, president of the
Parker Cotton mills and 4. D. Hudson
of Newberry. Mr. Parker in his let
ter stated that he did not know
whether the banks in reserve cities
we're attempting to '7mbarass the ad-
ministration, hut that they had de-
termined to bring about a general
liquidation and reduction of credit,
the effect being condition OF finan-
cial distress which is unjustiflable.

WILSON FIRES WILSON
RESIGNATION OF MEXICAN MN
ISTER IS ACCEPTED.
Former Governor of Minnesota Will
Go to Mexico as Personal Represen-
tatiye Of President Wilson.

President Wilson Monday took the
first steps in the policy through which
he proposes to deal with the Mexican
situation. He formally accepted the
resignation of Ambassador Henry
Lane Wilson, to take effect on Octo-
Der Il, and sent to Mexico City as his
personal representative-but not ac-
credited to the Huerta 'ernment'-
former Governor John Lind Of Mime
sofa, lifelong friend OF Secretary
Bryan. The understanding IS that
when stable government is estab-
lished in Mexico Mr.. Lind Will be for
mally named as ambassador.
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan had frequent conferences. Am
bassador Wilson had long talk with
Mr.. Bryan, and Chairman Bacon OF
the senate foreign relations commit
tee discussed the situation with the
president at the White House. But
for the announcement of Mr.. Lind's
mission, no explanation Of the policy
to be pursued by the American gov
ernment was forthcoming. The state
ment from Secretary Bryan read:
"Ex-Gov. John Lind, of Minnesota
has been sent to Mexico as the per.
sonal representative of the president
to act as adviser to the embassy in
the present sitution When the pres,
ident is ready to communicate With
the Mexican authorities as to the re,
storation of peace, he will make puo'
lie his views.
"Gov. and Mrs. Lind departed fol
Mexico tonight by rail, to proceed via
New Orleans or Galveston"
It became known that a further
announcement would be made by the
President in a few days. possibly on
the arrival of Mr.. Lind in Mexico
City.
It is said the president is observing
with keen interest the efforts of lead
ing Mexicans to bring about peace
and will offer no suggestions unit
these apparently prove futile. That
Mr.. Lind will be empowered to ex.
plain to all inquirers the unalterable
opposition OF the American govern
ment to the recognition Of the Huerts
administration is said to be factor
which may assist the situation. Prom
inent Mexicans have taken it upon
themselves to try to persuade Ger
Huerta to retire in favor of another
provisional executive acceptable to al
factions.

SAYS THE BILL IS GOOD.
Currency Bill Particularly Pleases
State Delegation.

Currency legislation was discussed
Monday at conference at the treas
ury department between Secretary
McAdoo and Chairman Owen and
Glass of the senate and house bank
ing and currency committees, and a
delegation of officers of the National
Citizens League for the promotion OF
sound Banking System. Later the
league officers issued a statement say
ing they were particularly pleased at
the attitude of the men who framed
the administration currency bill.
adverse criticism of the admisis-
tration efforts" the statement contin-
ued, "seems to have been based rath-
er on misapprehension Of intentions
and a fear of radical innovations than
on facts warranted by the bill as it
now stands. The league is of the
opinion that in regard to many re-
tails snap judgment has been render
ed.
"Those working to develop the
Ii, re should be given encourage
re: support and assistance by bank
ers as we'll as by business men"
The delegation suggested that there
would be less difficulty in starting the
proposed new system with a smaller
number of federal reserve banks than
- as contemplated. The fear OF some
bankers that the reserve requirements
of the bill would prove burdensome
was discussed and it was suggested
that the total reserve for country
banks be reduced from Is to IL per
cent. including the 5 per cent. re-
demption fund against national bank
notes and that the total reserve for
reserve cities be reduced from 20 to
Is per cent.
The leagues delegation included:
John Y. Farwell, president, of Chi
cago;, John H. Rich, president of Min
aesota branch, Redwing, Mimi; Chas.
A. Moss, New England branch, Bos-
ton; Irving T. Bush, Of New York

WILL SEEK THIRD TERM
BLEASE TO STAND FOR COVER
NOR ONCE MORE.
Such Is the Unlikely Story That
Comes From Washington About
South Carolina Politics.

The Washington correspondent Of
The News and Courier says South
Carolinians who have recently been in
WASHINGTON have mentioned rumor
which they say has been discussed In
various parts of their State, to the ef-
feet that it has been suggested to
Governor Blease by some of his
friends hat instead Of running for
the Senate next year he seek a third
term as Governor.
In support of this advice, according
to the story, it is urged that there are
a great many more people IN the
State who are agressively interested
nj keeping Blease in the Gubernato-
rial chair than are interested in send
ing him to the Senate.
By the time Senator Smiths pres
ent term is over most of the small
amount Of patronage that comes to
the Junior South Carolina Senator by
reason of the change in the Admins
tration at Washington will have been
distributed; and it is hardly neces-
sary to remark that Senator cannot
grant pardons or cut off the heads OF
State officers.
Precedent in South Carolina is
against more than two successive
terms in the Governorship, but it is
noted that precedents have never had
much weight with Governor Blease,
and that they do not affect his follow
ing.
On the other hand it is said, that a
considerable proportion Of South Car
olina voters who are supporters OF
Blease for the Gevernorship have said
that they will vote for omith for re-
election to the Senate, on the ground
that he has been active and energetic
particularly in behalf of the farmers
and that he deserves to be encourag'
ed.
A good deal Of interest is felt a:
to what Governor Blease will have te
say about the rumor that re IS think
ing about running again for Governor
and undertaking to get Legislature
