WILL NOT INTERFERE
NATIONS LEAVE MEXICAN PROB.
LEM TO AMERICA.
Europe and Japan Seem to Favor the
Plan Which Wilson is Trying to
Have Adopted.

The United States government has
informally sounded the powers and
learned that foreign governments
generally will do nothing to embar-
rass the peace policy Of President
Wilson toward Mexico and are in
clined to support it.
It was learned that many OF the
foreign governments feel the Mexi-
can problem to be peculiarly within
the province of American diplomacy
and though they make take no affirm
ative action, they will not interfere
with the peace program for consti-
tutionally established government
through which President Wilson be-
lieves all foreign interests ultimately
can best be conserved.
The American government has
learned some of these things only by
indirection, but within the last two
days the developments in Japan and
Great Britain-two nations which
hitherto have recognized the Huerta
Observation-Disclosures to officials
that these governments were suspend
ing judgment, has been taken as con-
crete evidence Of a favorable att1-
tude by foreign governments to Pres
ident Wilson's peace policy. Japan's
declination to receive Gen. Felix
Diaz, special ambassador, sent by
President Huerta, was officially con-
frmed.
These were the developments Of the
day in the Mexican situation, while
dispatches from John Lind, personal
representative in Mexico Of President
Wilson, indicated that he was in per-
sonal touch with FREDERICK Gamboa,
Mexican minister Of foreign affairs,
and was preparing to submit the rep
reservations Of the United States on
the restoration Of peace in Mexico.

BANKS WANT MONEY.
Finley and Lever Submit Proposals
of National Banks.

Representatives Finley and Lever,
of South Carolina, called at the
treasury department Wednesday and
submitted proposition from the ma
tional banks in their districts to par
ticipate in the deposits to be distri-
buted by the treasury department In
the cotton-growing States to aid In
moving and marketing the cotton
crop.
The plan proposed was to permit
all the national banks-including the
State banks, if practicable, in the
Congressional district, or so many as
may wish 80 to do-to apply Jointly
to the treasury departn mt for a de-
posit and execute joint note, indi-
vidually and severally guaranteeing
the payment thereof, and placing
such collateral as will be required OF
banks in designated cities under the
plan of distribution contemplated by
the Secretary Of the Treasury; and
to pro rate the deposit with each OF
the banks in interest according to
their capital stock.
No promise was made, but assur-
ance was given to the two South Car
olina Representative that the propo-
sition by the Secretary Of the Treas

WHIPS HIS ASSAILANT
AFTER BEING SHOT HAMPTON
MAN GIVES FIGHT.
Drunken Man Shoots Up the Town,
Firing at Several Before He Is
Rendered Harmless by Beating.

Chas. S. Blocker, prominent
young white man of Hampton, was
shot and probably fatally wounded
Tuesday night about 10 o'clock by
Jesse Smith. The shooting occurred
on Lee avenue, the main thorough
fare Of the town, in front Of the store
of W. Fred Lightsey, in which Mr.
Blocker works as manager for Mr..
Lightsey. The wound was inflicted
in the lower intestines, and the exact
nature and effects Of it can not be as
certained without an exploratory in
cision.
It seems that Smith, who prior to
this time has been repeatedly incar-
cerated in the local jail on charges
ranging from drunk and disorderly
to murder, and who was tried for
murder and acquitted several years
ago, proceeded to get drunk Tuesday
and to shoot up the town. Mr.. W. NJ.
Bishop and several other young men
were, it Is said, threatened by Smith,
and the drunken man shot at Mr..
Bishop twice before the alteration
with Mr.. Blocker, but his aim proved
untrue.
Hearing the shooting, six travel
ling men at the local hotel went out
to investigate, but Smith herded
them into a residence on Lee avenue.
Mr.. Blocker, who had just come into
the town, heard the shooting, and
thought that fire had broken out.
When he arrived at his store he
found Smith there, and tried to quiet
him, placing his hand on Smiths
shoulders, when he was shot at close
range, the bullet taking effect in the
right side of the lower abdomen, and
coming out about six inches around
in front. It is possible that the mus
cles of the abdomen detected the bull
let so that there was no entry into
the cavity.
After being shot, Mr.. Blocker, who
is a powerful man, knocked Smith
down and proceeded to give him
sound beating. Mr.. Blocker was
about to shoot Smith, when some
men rushed up and prevented any
further trouble Mr.. Blocker was
then given medical attention and
Smith was locked up in the local jail.
The wound Of Mr.. Blocker Is not ex-
pected to prove fatal.

FIGHTS YELLOWJACKETS.
Michigan Planter is Attacked While
on High Job.

Clinging desperately with one
hand to slender steel rod and bat
ting with the other against a swarm
of yellowjackets, De Forest n. Tick
ner, of Lansing, Mich, narrowly es-
capped death Monday when he dis
turbed the nest OF the insects in the
dome of the Michigan State capitol,
275 feet in the air.
Tickner was engaged to paint the
dome. After climbing to the top OF
the spiral stairway he stepped thru
a little window and started to scale
the outside Of the steel shell. AS he
ascended, hundreds Of yellowjackets
suddenly swarmed out Of a crev1ce
and attacked him. Although stung
repeatedly and suffering intense pain,
the painter fought his way back to
the window and safety.

MANNING, S. c.. WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 20. 1913
NEGRO KILLS WOMAN
HOT WEATHER AND WHISkNI
CAUSE DEATH.
Man Shoots Down Woman Because
She Did Not Tell Him Where His
Wife Was.

Hot weather and mean whiskey
seem to be the predominating causes
of murders and misdemeanors In
Georgetown of late. Thursday night
at nine o'clock Joe Williams, negro,
while under the influence Of liquor,
and because Julia Eaddy could no! or
would not tell him where his wife
was, drew a pistol and shot her twice,
once in the side and the other bullet
broke her leg. The woman died Fri
day. The shooting occurred within
$50 yards of where Carrie Richard
son, another colored woman, was shot
and killed Monday afternoon by her
husband, Robert Richardson.
It seems that Joe Williams and his
wife, Belle, have been separated sew
eral months, and Belle has gone
away, her family not knowing where
she is. He evidently believed they
did know and were keeping her
whereabouts a secret. AS soon as
Williams fred the last shot he made
wild dash for the woods, falling
heavily several times from the effects
of the liquor. Sheriff Ward and
Magistrate J. NJ. Butluer fastened to
the scene of the crime, and with sew
eral others engaged in hot pursuit.
Friday, with a crowd Of negroes at
his back, the sheriff is said to have
the negro cornered in spur of Gap
way Bay, near Graves Station, and
the news Of his capture is momentari-
ly expected. The colored population
IS much worked up, and If the strong
arm of the law and the sheriff do not
intervene it is said that the people Of
his own race would make short shrift
with Joe Williams.

Shows Tact in Mexico.
News from Mexico City that John
Lind, personal representative OF
President Wilson, and Frederico
Gamboa, Mexican minister Of foreign
relations, had established unofficial
relations Tuesday by a personal
meeting brought encouragement to
administration officials at Washing
ton. 1t was felt by them that the
first step in the program OF the
American government to throw Its
influence in the direction Of a quiet
and peaceful settlement Of the reVo-
lutionay troubles had succeeded.
The incident, however, it was
learned from official sources, will
not change the procedure outlined to
Mr.. Lind before he left Washington.
He will submit all his representa-
tions to Charge O'shaugnessy, who
will transmit them in accordance
with diplomatic proprieties to the
Mexican minister Of foreign rela-
tions.
