The Clinton Gazette has a new edl-
tor in the person of Mr.. w. T. Crews.
If the manager and proprietor of the
Gazette, Mr.. J. F. Cromer, was want
ing to get a man as editor who could
peel the bark, tear shreds and tatters,
and rip any and everything opposing,
going to the bottom of it, coming out
on all sides and at the top, cracks
and all, ne got him. W. T. Crews is
a rip saw with every tooth firm, a
meat axe with a blade that never gets
dull and a handle that never breaks
or gets weak. And he cuts the meat
and saws the bones when "the otner
fellow shows himself. Wake up
snakes, and crawl, days abreaking."

most Importance to find out if the
names of subscribers are to be put

his postofice is Newberry, or Pros

some one of the routes. Now this is
important. Get that into your
heads before you go another step, be-
cause it gives the mail man at The

of extra and hard work tnat could be
avoided. Then, also, be sure to find
out if Jimmie Green, or Sanmie

or J. w. White, or ]. G. Brown, as
the case may be, because it may be

Jimmie Green may or may not be the
same. and it makes difference in the
Office. Now be sure to get these
things right. 1t is easy enough. Get
the correct name with the initials and
the postofice route. Ask them, they
will not tell you until you ask, nine
times in ten. Another thing. On the

Mexico City, November 14.-Presi-
dent Huerta's attitude toward the de-
mands of the United States that he
make way for a new government is
that of one only half convinced, not
witnstanding a few of his friends and
political advisers are arguing, with
due caution, that he accede.
The representatives Of this element
in the Cabinet conferred to-day with
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, American
charge d'affairs, but were given no
assurances that President Wilson has
unbent sufficiently to warrant nope
that the negotiations will be reopen
ed.
In spite Of this, however, those
friends of Huerta who now are con-
vinced that the United States Govern
ment is not "bluffing,' believe they
will yet be able to bring about the de-
sired changes in time to prevent a
complete rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions.
This conviction is based upon the
fact that Washington has not put into
effect it's implied threat to remove the
embassy or announced any new

Sir Lionel Garden, the British min

nation that the United States is in

have told the provisional President
that the British Government is dispos-

Huerta is said to have been deeply
impressed when he realized that the
Nation which he had believed would
stand by him indefinitely had Joined

FOR THE SIXTH TIME
BORDER CITY FALLS.
Mexican Rebels Capture Juarez, Com
ing in Early Morning and Catch
ing FederaIs UnaWares.

Ell Paso, Texas, Nov. 15.-For the
sixth time in the last three years
Ciudad Juarez changed governments
when 1000 rebels, led by Gen. Pan
cho Villa, attacked and captured the
town between 2.3O and o'clock this
morning.
Taken by surprise the federal gar
rison of about 400 men put up a
weak resistance. SO unprepared for
the battle were the federal defenders
that Villas troops actually reached
the centre of the town before a shot
was fired.
Although an accurate count has not
been completed, it is estimated that
40 persons were killed in the fight
ing. The rebels lost five men, the
federal dead are estimated at 80 and
four or FIVE noncombatants were kill
ed. Among them was Charles
Seggerson, an Ell Paso automobile
driver, who was on the main street
in Juarez in his automobile.
mo looting" was the order given
by Villa to mis- men after the town
had surrendered, and not single
case of looting has been reported.
Guards were placed at downtown
stores with orders to shoot the first
man who attempted to loot.
The rebels captured 125 federal
prisoners, $4,000 rounds of am
munition, two field pieces and two
machine guns-in addition to an i'm
portant border port of entry an a
military strategic point.
Gen. Francisco Castro, commander
of the Juarez garrison, is among the
missing. II is the general opinion
that he escaped. No trace of nim
or his body has been found. His
scabbard, sword and epaulets were in
his residence, and Gen. Villa has
them for souvenirs,
Ell Paso police this afternoon
thought they had captured Gen. Cas-
tro in Ell Paso, but the prisoner
proved to be a colonel from the
Juartz garrison. He was sent to
Fort Bliss a prisoner.
Bullets fell thick in Ell Paso dur
ing the attack, and Chester L. Bur
nett, a messenger boy, was shot
and killed.

TO ATTEND FLORIDA MEETING.
Gov. Blease and Col. Dominick Will
Leave This Week-COmment
From Ocala Paper.
special to The Herald and News.


Columbia, Nov. 17.-Governor
Blease expects to go to Jacksonville
this week to attend the annual con-
vention of the Atlantic Deeper Wat
erways association. The governor re-
CARDS this meeting as of great in
portance to South Carolina. He will
be accompanied by Assistant Attor-
ney General Dominick, who is one OF
the three delegates from this State
The two other delegates are Hon. j.
Elmore Martin, of Charleston, and
Hon. NJ. O. D. White, of Beaufort,
and it is hoped they will both be able
to attend also.
Speaking of the coming of Cover
nor Blease to Florida, the Ocala Even
ing Star, of November 10, says edi-
torially:
"Cole Blease, the governorsof South
Carolina, is coming to Jacksonville.
He will be here attending the water
ways convention November 18. Men
have maliciously slandered Cole.
Blease who, in my opinion, is one OF
the biggest and best men in the South.
A protector of womanhood against the
most shocking crimes against them
in the Southland, he should be loved
and honored by all men who love
their wives and daughters. His
heart is with the masses and he is an
unrelenting foe to special privilege.
South Carolina are numerous in Flori-
da and they will gladly greet the dis
tinguished son of their native State.
Floridians, too, should unite in giving
glad welcome to the great Soutnerner
who has shown himself still possess
ed of all the noble characteristics OF
the true Southern gentleman who has
combatted the Vaccinations Of The
corrupt influences and who has been
a great factor in the upholding OF
law. Men may abuse Cole Blease, but
honorable men, VINO read his record,
and then do so. should bow their heads
in shame. Cole. Blease is a great as
set to Southern manhood, and Flori-
da should give him rousing welcome
when he comes.-Dixie.
'eBlease has been more abused than
any other man in the United Sta.es,
but one of his next door neighbors
told the Star that in his home :own
and district he was the friend of ev-
cry man who needed a friend, and
the secret of his popularity lay in
his answering devotion to any per-
son or cause that he believed to be
in the right"

BLEASE DOES NOT FIGURE IN 1T.
Wilson Seeks to Please Senators
Patronage Matter.

Washington, November 14.-Read-
ers of The News and Courier may
have noted that it's Washington cor
respondent has never undertaken to
explain the course of the contest for
the district attorneyshp and the mar
shalship IN terms of the president
conjectured attitude towards the can
didacy of Governor Blease for the
Senate. Such explanation Seems gra-
tuitous and far-fetcned.
All of the evidence which has come
within the ken of The News and Cou-
rier's correspondent has led him To
regard the disagreement of the two
Palmetto State senators over the dis
trict attorneyship as the cause of the
administrators worry, and not the
probable effect of this or tnat ap-
pointment on the Blease candidacy.
There is no reason to conclude that
Attorney General McReynolds recon-
mended Weston and Sims because he
did not think them the best material
presented for the places. AS to the
president, he has taken no action
whatever, and wants the senators to
agree before he does so. BY the same
reasoning that explains the attorney
generals recommendation on the
theory of desire to injure Blease,
the presidents failure to act on the
attorney generals recommendations
would be interpreted as indicating
desire to help Blease.
The plain fact is that the admins
ton has failed to reach finality
with regard to the district attorney
ship and he marshalship because OF
the presidents wish to accord each
senator his due, and particularly be-
cause of his wish to retain the cor
dial support of each democratic SEN
ator, who has been regular" in
backing up the Wilson policies. The
president does not intend to give Of
fence to either Senator Tillman or
Snator Smith if ne can help it; and he
really cannot afford to take chances OF
alternating or chilling support in The
senate in view Of the Importance OF
keeping a Macedonian phalanx OF
majority voters in readiness for use.
There have been similar disagree
ments between senior and junior Dem
ocratic Senators in other states than
South Carolina over patronage ques-
tions. The present deadlock would in
all probability have existed just the
same if there mad been no Blease. The
whole trouble came about from dis
agreement between the two Senators,
and the additional district bill repre-
sents an effort to solve the tie-up by
providing district in which each Sen
ator shall have the say as to the
Offices. as is the situation in Nor.l
Carolina, where Senator Simmons has
lust recommended district attorney
and marshall for the eastern district
and Senator Over1nan has done the
same for the western district.

Columbia, Nov. 17.-Of general in
terest at this season Of the year,

local interest in Newberry, is
an opinion just rendered
by Assistant Attorney General
Fred. H. Dominick, quoting the law

"Mr. Joel S. Aiken, Mgr, Mcclure
Ten Cent Company, Greenwood, s.
C.
Dear Sir: This Offices in receipt
of yours of the 18th instant, in refer
ence to the sale of paper cap pistols
and paper caps for same, and in which
you ask whether they may be legally
sold in this State. In reply I beg to
quote you Section 512 of the Criminal
Code of South Carolina, 1912, which
clearly prohibits the sale of such ar
ticles.
at shall be unlawful for any per-
son, firm or corporation, in this State,
to sell, keep for sale or offer for sale,
or give away, any toy pistol in which
caps are cartridges are used, or any

tol. Every person., firm or corpora
ton violating the provisions OF this
section shall, upon conviction, be
fined not exceeding one hundred dol
lars, or be imprisoned Gin case of an
ipdividuaD for term not to exceed
thirty days.
..In this connection I will also call
to your attention Section 161 OF the
Criminal Code in reference to the sale
of certain firecrackers, which is as
follows:
"It shall be unlawful for any per-
son, whether in his own right or as
agent, to sell, barter or exchange with
in the limits of this State, any fire.
crackers, bomb, or any kind of explos-
i've crackers exceeding three inches in
length and not exceeding one-half
inch in diameter, or any kind OF ex-
plosive cracker containing dynamite.
Any one violating the provisions of
this section shall, upon conviction, be-
punished by fine of not more than
one hundred dollars, or Imprisonment
of not more than thirty days"
Hoping that this gives you the de-
sired information.
