ington-President Wilson let
it be known that he was inclined to
believe there was an organized desire
proceeding from sources unknown
to him-to bring on war between
the United States and Mexico The
President does not regard the move
ment as extensive, but as very
troublesome and referred to misrep-
reservations in some individual news
papers. He indicated that he shared
somewhat the views of Senator Will
liams, who declared in a speech that
an organized lobby existed to involve
the United States in war.
There is no occasion for alarm, in
the opinion of the President who told
callers that within the last forty-eight
hours the Mexican situation had inn
proved materially. 1t was made clear
by the President to those with whom
he discussed the situation that the in
structions to John Lind, his personal
representative, were chiefly to in,
form the American government how
things stood generally in Mexico and
just what were the opportunities for
the good offices of the United States
in the interest of peace.
Lind opens Office.
Mexico City. - Ex-Governor John
Lind, the personal envoy of President
Wilson in Mexico City, installed him
self in temporary office at the United
States embassy as unofficial adviser
to the American charge d'affaires,
Nelson O'Shaughnessy. Mr.. Lind
passed several hours in close confer
ence with the charge, discussing the
difficulties of the Mexican nation, for
which he, it is alleged, brings a pan
acea.
London Press Comment.
London-In an editorial the Daily
Graphic says:
'The mission of John Lind to Mex
leo has all the disadvantages of med
dlesomeness without the advantages
of Intervention. 1t can have no ter
rors for President Huerta because no
force is behind it, and prudent men
will be thankful if it only fails de-
Gently"
The Times editorially agrees that
President Wilson is acting entirely
within his rights and says that it
would be good policy on the part of
the Mexican government to listen to
Mr. Lind's representations in the spirit
in which they are made and not
irritate American opinion by sticking
about punctilio.

were born seven children. four of
whom are now living In the year
1888 Mrs. Vaughan died, and some
time during the next year he mar
ried Miss Lille Glover, who with
seven children survive him.
On January 1, 1892 Mr.. Vaughan
moved to Scotland Neck and has
lived here eyer since. He was a
quiet, honest, hardworking man, a
good neighbor and citizen. Several
of his friends have been heard to re-
mark that he will be greatly missed
by them as we'll as by his family.
In early life he made profession
Of religion and joined the Methodist
church.
He was buried in the Baptist Gem
etery, his pastor, Rev. N. c.. Yearly,
conducting the services.
May our good Father comfort and
keep those left behind.

BrinkleyviIle, May L. 1913.-The
closing exercises of Miss Lizzie Rob-
erson's school on last Friday night
was splendid success. All of the
children acquitted themselves most
creditably showing close application
to their studies and faithful and eff
ficient performance Of duties on part
of the teacher. Mr.. George Bennett
was master Of ceremonies, and per-
formed faithfully the duty assigned
him. A most pleasing feature of
the occasion was the music furnished
by the Mohorn string band. These
are not trained (scientific) musicians
but for native ability cannot be sur
passed in all the state.
The death of Rev. Paul Bowers
which took place at Rex Hospital
last Friday has cast a gloom over
this whole community. That one
so good, open, and so universally be-
loved, and in the prime of a splen-
din manhood, and in the midst of his
usefulness should be stricken down
"ere it was noon" bewiiders US, and
with one Of old we say. His ways
are past finding out" We bow in
humble submission to him who
makes no mistakes, and commend
the Borrowing loved ones to Him,
who alone is able to comfort and
help. He was buried in the old
family burying ground by his loved
pastor, Rev. Walter Bobbitt in the
presence Of an immense gathering
of friends and relativ :. A worthier

Most of us associate Apollo with an
ideal of manly beauty, with art, with
music. He is known as the patron of
art, Of healing. He was the father of
Aesculapius, who was the father of
medicine. Indeed, about seven diff

this son of Jupiter; but first of all he
was known as the god who Furnishes
That is what his name really means
+: LAGOON was undoubtedly a priest
of Apollo, and. it was the act of a
traitor for him to turn to Neptune.
One tale declares that LAGOON had
defied the expressed will of Apollo by
marrying and begetting children. -
other delivers into mythology main
tain that LAGOON and his two sons
were not victims of Apollo but of
Neptune. They hold that Neptune,
being bitterly opposed to the Trojans,
wanted to show them, in the persons
of LAGOON and his sons, the fate that
all of them deserved. The fact that
the serpents were under the control
of Neptune and not of Apollo is cited
to support this version of the tale.
