FREES AMERICANS.
Huerta Orders Release Of Trio Held
in Mexican Jails.

By appealing directly to Gen. Huer-
ia Friday Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
American charge d'atfaires, obtained
from him almost Immediately une-
" livocal consent to the release OF
rec Americans now in jail, whose
liberation long has been delayed by
legal manoeuvring. The men order
ed set free by Gen. Huerta are H. ]
Kidder, William Krause and John
John Parker.
II apparently developed that Gen.
Huerta had known nothing Of the
incarceration Of the men or Of efforts
that had been made by Mr.. O'Shaugh-
messy to procure their release. Made
impatient by the long series OF eva
sions and excuses given him from
other quarters, Mr.. O'Shaughnessy
risked incurring the displeasure OF
minor officials and apparently found
Huerta willing and anxious to dem
onstrate by the order for his release
his intention to maintain fair play.
He declared that as long as he IS
president he would not countenance
any discrimination against Americans
or any persecution Of them because
Of nationality.
Parker is in jail at San Luis
Potosi. He is charged with being i'm
plicated in murder. Krause and
Kidder are in Jail at Mexico City
The cases against the men are not to
be dismissed, but the men will not be
forced to remain In Jail. The condi-
tions Of release oblige the men to
present themselves at the American
embassy.

VOLCANO ERUPTS.
Deals Death to Five Hundred Near
New South Wales.

Steamers arriving at Sydney, New
South Wales, bring terrible details OF
the recent volcanic eruption on the
island of Ambrim, in the New Heb
rides group, in which 500 natives lost
their lives. Witnesses Of the disturb
ance describe it as having been so
sudden and violent that they expected
to see the whole western side of the
island disappear.
With terrific roar, which follow
ed with a rapid succession Of artil-
lery-like decorations, all the craters
of the volcano entered into full ac-
.tivity, spouting flames and lava and
throwing out huge .boulders. Great
streams Of lava soon were rushing
down the slopes, cutting off the vii
layers from escape. In one instance,
two torrents Of the molten mass join
ed and made an island Of an entire
section of a village. Here so or 60
persons perished.
The scenes at night were awe-in-
spring. Flames shot into the air to
height of a thousand feet, illumi-
mating the whole scene OF destruction.
The ocean seemed to boil as huge
superheated masses Of stone fell into
the sea and streams Of lava poured
into the bay. Dust from the craters
gradually formed a black cloud
which blotted out the light Of the
stars. The bay, after the eruption,
was filled with dead fish and large
numbers Of dead turtles. The water
in the river was hot.

RCERTA CLAIMS MILLION.
Mexican Resident Says He Can Secure
That Many Soldiers.

Replying to letter sent him by
the correspondent OF the Frankfurter
Zeitung, a German newspaper, Pres
ident Huerta said that if it should be-
come necessary he could put into SER
vice Immediately more than 1,Oo0,-
900 armed men. This statement he
explained as follows:
"Without counting the 10000
men Of the national army, the gov
ernment in agreement with various
states of the republic have organized
an armed force for the local service
of 1900 men for each state. Also
the government has arranged with
$4,000 hacieneados (farmers) that
they keep ten armed workmen each
for their own protection.
"Thus, then, the government
counts upon the number OF armed
men aggregating seven hundred and
some thousand without taking into
consideration the reserves, which to
the number Of 100000, could be or
ganized If the peace Of the country
should be disturbed"

SACK OF MAIL LOST.
Mysteriously Disappears From Crane
at Gaffney Depot.

Gaffney post Office officials and en-
ployees Of the Southern Railway at
that point are anxiously wondering
what became of a sack Of mail sup
posed to leave Gatfney last Friday
night on northbound train No. go.
The sack was closed up at the usual
hour at the post Office and turned
over to the railroad later being
hung up on the crane for northbound
troin No. 80, at 9:45 o'clock. The
station agent saw the sack hanging
on the crane only ten minutes before
are arrival of the train, but when the
train reached there the sack was gone
and has not been seen or heard of
since.
A thorough Investigation has been
made by the post Office officials, as
sisted by the railroad, but so far
there has been absolutely no clue as
to what became Of the sack. When
asked whether or not it con-
tanned any valuables, post Office off,
cials said that there were no regis
tered letters or money orders in that
mail, but it is, of course, impossible
to estimate what the loss OF some of
the letters may mean.

PARDON MILL STILL GRNDS.
Another Man-Killer Turned Loose by
Governor Blease.

James G. Seigler, the well known
white farmer Of Aiken county, who
shot and killed Officer Patterson on
the streets of Aiken and was tried in
June Of last year, found guilty Of
manslaughter and sentenced to seven
years in the penitentiary, was Friday
afternoon paroled by Governor Blease
on condition o. good behavior. Seig-
ler was paroled during October to let
him go home and try and save his
property, which was being sold under
foreclosure Of mortgage. He is said
to have been worth $4,000 before
his trouble, but it is stated that his
trial cost him the larger portion OF
his wealth. He returned to the peni-
tentiary on the 1st Of December to
resume his sentence.

THEY FOUND HIM DEAD
NEGRo's BODY DISCOVERED IN
WOODS NEAR CADES.
Had Shot Another Man in Crap Game
and His Wife-Supposed to Have
Committed Suicide.

After shooting Jim Witherspoon
near Cades several days ago during
crap game dispute, and later sending
a bullet entirely through his wife's
body, Laurence White, alias "Poo1
Pig", a negro of Cades, committed
suicide by shooting himself through
the temple. His body was found
about two miles below Cades, where
it had lain probably there days, with
a 3S-calibre revolver by his side
Although bearing a serious wound,
Whites wife does not seem to suffer
much and is going about, while the
doctors look on in amazement. With
erspoon was taken to Florence for
treatment.
For several days after shooting
Witherspoon White evaded the Off
GERS Of the law, but returned to his
wife and shot her through the body,
the ball entering near the stomach
and coming out in the back. Whites
wife says he then took a shot at him
self, but missed, made some threats,
then escaped. Since then his body
was found two miles below Cades,
near the roadside, with bullet in his
temple. The coroner's jury gave a
verdict Of suicide.
While engaged in q crap game with
Witherspoon and others, it is said, he
was abused, but without saying much
in reply whipped out his revolver and
shot Witherspoon near the groin, ex-
animation showing the ball embed
ded in the thigh bone. While the
officers Of the law were on the look
out for him he went to his home, and
his wife says he wanted her to go
with him to his hiding place in a bay
near by, and that on her refusal he
told her he would kill her there and
then. She says he shot her through
the body and then took a shot at his
own head, missed and went back to
his hiding place.
Sheriff Graham was sent for, and
with two bloodhounds and twenty
five white and colored men the hunt
was begun. The trail was was read
lily taken and the dogs gave solemn
music, while some Of the men fol-
lowed in fear and trembling through
the thick underground. Soon the
trail came out the bay to a negro
house and was lost
Three days afterward Whites body
was found one mile from the bay
near the roadside, his head resting at
the foot Of and in between two little
oak trees, a pistol ball in his temple
and powder burns on his face. He
was begun. The rtain was read
across his stomach and his pistol by
his side. His hat brim showed his
wife's statement to be correct, for
there was a bullet hole in the front
and very near the head.

FIGHT FOR THE FARMER
LEVER GETS HOUSE TO ACCEPT
SENATE AMENDMENT.
Action Guarantees That the Amend
ment Secured in Senate by Senator
Smith VIII Become Law.

Representatives Lever and Crisp
came strongly to the rescue of the
farmers Saturday in the House when
Mr.. Lever, after agreement with Mr..
Crisp, moved to instruct the House
conferees to agree to those Senate
amendments to the currency bill
which provided that notes, drafts and
bills drawn or issued for agricultural
purposes having a maturity not ex-
ceeding six months, may be discount
ed and extending the provisions of
the bill in reference to loans on farm
lands from one to five years.
Messrs. Lever and Crisp both
fought hard for the provisions in the
House bill but were defeated, but
they took advantage Of the parlia-
mentary situation Saturday to force
the House to agree with them with a
view of placing the paper Of the
farmer on the same footing with
paper issued from any other source
and at the same time putting a longer
limit upon loans upon farm lands.
The action Of the South Carolina and
Georgia congressman Saturday makes
certain that the farmers Of the coun-
try will be as fully protected in the
currency bill as will other people.
The point raised by them proved to
be the vital proposition considered by
the House and to their efforts and un-
derstanding Of the parliamentary sit
uation the victory Of the farmers is
due.
It was extremely gratifying to SEN
ator Smith Of South Carolina, who
had made the fight in the Senate for
the extension Of loans to farmers,
that even though the House disagreed
to most of the Senate amendments it
made an exception with regard to
two, and instructed the conferees to
vote for his particular amendment.
This action guarantees their reten-
tion in the bill.
Senator Smith said Saturday
night: "In view of the action Of the
Senate and House it has at last come
to pass that the farmers are being
heard and their rights respected as
they should be. It Is not a question
as to whether or not it Is convenient
for legislators to so frame legislation
as to include the farmers, it is a
question Of fundamental duty that
of all those engaged in the different
industries Of this country the farmers
should have extended to them every
encouragement and aid that can be
given them legitimately.
''The farmers have a right to de-
mand it, and they are now getting in
a position where they can demand it.
They rightly have the first claim to
financial legislation, for the entire
world is first dependent upon them.
The two features Of this bill, allow
ing their notes, bills and drafts to be
subject to rediscount for reserve
money, and the admitting Of real
estate as a collateral in the national
banks, place them in a position where
with the same economy and thrift
that characterize most Of them, they
can realize profit at the end of the
year as others do and not disappoint
ment as they have been accustomed
to-"

CUT DOWN DELEGATES
SOUTH CAROLINA LOSES SEVEN
WITH REPUBLICANS.
National Committee Ends It's Labors
With Compromise Reorganization
and Adjourns.

and Adjourns.
The Republican national commit
tee has concluded its labor for re-
! form in party procedure, and lauach-
ed it's campaign for a reunion Of
warring elements, by adopting 4 res
| olution providing for radical
change in the basis OF representation
in national conventions which would
reduce the quota Of southern states
from thirty-three to sixteen per cent.
of the conventions total.
The action Of the committee, criti-
cised in vigorous terms by several Of
it's members, but made unanimous
before adjournment, must be indors-
ed by states entitled to cast a ma
jority of votes in the electoral col
lege before it becomes party law.
In order that such action shall be
taken as promptly as possible the
committee appointed subcommittee
Of three, consisting Of Charles B.
Warren, Of Michigan; Senator Borah,
Of Idaho, and Governor Hatfield, Of
West Virginia, to prepare an address
This address will be drawn up short
ly after the Christmas holidays, and
leading members Of the committee
expressed the hope that it would be
met by early action.
Approval. by the states will insure
a call from the national committee
for the national convention Of 1916
along the lines laid down. The re-
organization plan adopted came as
compromise which reflected the views
of many committeeman that southern
representation should be reducsd,
but not brought to the vanishing
point.
According to figures submitted by
the subcommittee, the new plan
would reduce the total number OF
delegates from LOTS, as in 1912, to
993. Under it these states would
lose delegates:
Alabama 9, Arkansas 8, Florida 4,
Georgia 10, Illinois 2, Kentucky 1,
Louisiana Z, Mississippi s, New York
4, North Carolina 8, Pennsylvania 1,
South Carolina Z, Tennessee 3, Texas
Is, Virginia 9, and Hawaii 4. The
southern states would have 164 dele
gates in all.
