ANNUAL MEETING
OF FARMERS UNION

Anderson, S. c., July 21.-The an
nual meeting of the South Carolina
State Farmers Union was opened in
this city today, and sessions will be
continued through tomorrow and the
day after. 1t has been the purpose Of
the officers to make this meeting a
conference on the coed that this I'm
ion has done throughout the state, and
on plans for its increasing usefulness.
This meeting has departed from the
usual in that no distinguished speak
ers have been asked to address the
delegates. 1t was believed that by
turning over the sessions of the meet
ing to those who have made the Union
what it is and who are working for its
future, more good will result than by
any address from Outsiders" regard
less of their standing. 1t is a meet
ing of, by and for the people, and the
members of the organization have
shown their appreciation of the limo
walton by being present in large num-
bers today.

GREAT ScuLPToR,S WORK ON
LABOR ON EXHIBITION
Once in a while it happens that a
certain man is called by everybody
'the worlds greatest in his line Of
work.
That is the case with Constantine
Meunier, the sculptor of labor, whose
work is shown at the Art Institute
this week.
Workingmen, the finest and
strongest bodies and souls of them in
mine, foundry and steel mill, are in
the designs and carvings now display
ed in the lake front art building.
Meunier lived many years among
miners and foundry workers in "the
black country" of Belgium.
The miner, the hammer man, the
dock waIloper, he shaped them into
forms Of stone that are an inspiration
to all who are attracted in any way
by the strivings of the working class
for better things.
Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday
are the free days of the week, when
no admission charge is made for go
ing through the doors Of the Art In
stitute.
The institute is on Michigan ave-
nue., facing the end of Adams street.

SOME COURAGE

Guess Kermit Roosevelt has won
girl of some courage. When present
ed to Queen Mary the other day Miss
Willard wore, among other duds that
the reporters could see, "a draped
skirt, slit in front to show an under
skirt embroidered in parts" And
Queen Mary has been down on Sits
that showed the undergarments at
the side.
Newspaper pictures Of that fellow
Mary Garden is billed to marry give
him such a hungry look that we
guess he'll have his head in the plat
ter, without any kind ''Salome" bust

Mitchell, S. d.. May 1S.-As the result
of the threatened removal of DIR. Sam

the institution are 'up in arms" At a
meeting of the student body, resolu-
lions were unanimously adopted declar-
ing h professor to be the strongest
member of the faculty and urging the
trustees OF the institution to retain
MIN In his present position. Stirring
speeches also were made upon the sub
ject by prominent members of the stu
dent body.
Letters from the school administra-
ton in the different trustees have indi-
Gated that several faculty members
would not remain If DIR. Weir were re-
tanned. The members of the Alumni
association are planning upon a an
quet to be held during commencement
week in honor of DR.. Weir. The cen-
ter of h storm has been q member of

Vera Cruz. Mex. May 15.-Word has
reached here forcshadcwing the APP
proach of a critical moment in the cap
ital. British subjects from The inter-
Tor. it is stated. have been gathered In
the concentration districts in the for
eign residential quarters of Mexico
City. wher it was determined lcng
they would protect themselves against
whatever rose. More British nationals
are reported arriving by every train,
while. others are Fastening toward the
coast.
The Britishers are amply supplied
with arms and ammunition. despite
earlier ruElors that weapons had been
taken from the legation and from resi-
dents by order of General Nuerll.
The German and Austrian defense
organization is also ready I'D -tand AZ
siege and those nationals. according t,
report. are being gathered.
Apparently the feeling is general
among all foreigners that the next few
days will see "a tumult OF revolt IN
the capital. since Il movement into the
districts was planned to occur only
when the situation became critical.
General Velasco. who was defeated
at Torreon with heavy loss n was
himself wounded. has been ordered
Of the capital to assume the military
Eovernorship of San Luis Potosi.

Foreigners Preparing Defenses;
Huertu Sends Foe to Front

Many here regard the appointment as
significant. since rumors have been
current that General Velasco is deeply
involved in a military plot against
General Huerta. Velasco a not yet
recovered from his Wounds and his
friends say he is in no condition to
assume command in the field.
After his return to the capital, We
lasco is reported to have reproached
Huerta for his failure to reinforce him
at 1'orreon. This criticism Of his chief
was regarded by his friends as fool
hardy and surprise was manifested that
Velasco was not Immediately inn
prisoned.
Mexican newspaper men here have
been listed at the capital as traitors.
In ii semiofficial document sem from
Mexico City. all those who remained
after the occupation are accused OF
selling their pen to Fletcher. the in

the federal government will deal di-
rectly with them when 1t regains pos

The reply of the newspaper men was
the issue last night of a newspaper
named The Voice of the People"
which devotes its entire first issue 10
the advocacy of the constitutionalist
movement and deunciation Of General
HCerta.

Washington. d. c.. Ma: l5.-Admiral
Badger reported that the Mexican
federal gunboats, Zaragosa and Bravo.
and the tug Tampico. which left
Tampico yesterday followed by an
American gunboat and two destroyers.
were expected to reach Puerto Mexico
early tomorrow. He reported the gun
boat, Vera Cruz. abandoned in the
Penuco river.
The reported departure of the federal
eunboats from their anchorage nea
the American ships off Tampico is De
lieyed to be the result of a desire by
the commanders to communicate with
Mexico City from Puerto Mexico by the
only telegraph wire open to them.
1t is understood that two American
d%estroyers are conveying the gunboats
to see that the coastwise lights and
other aides to navigation are not mo-
Tested.
IL is believed that the gunboats will
stop at Tuxpan, about 100 miles down
the coast, where they probably will dis
charge the soldiers Of the Tampico
garrison taken aboard just before the
town was evacuated. With such am
munition and supplies as are to be had
ct Tuxpan. officials here think the lit
tie vessels may return to the mouth of
Panuco and attempt to maintain a
blockade ( o prevent the constitutions

their bands of cuthroat followers also
present problems for serious considera-
tor.
The new forces coming into power
are known to entertain a hostile atti-
Jude toward the Catholic church. Just
what the constitutionalists' policies to-
ward the church might be is a matter
OF conjecture. UP to the present time
only threats Of expulsion nave been
heard. The archbishop Of Mexico has
already fled to Vera Cruz where he
will embark tomorrow for Rome. There
he will meet the pope. All the churches
and church property in Mexico are
owned by the government which grants
the use of them to the Catholics as a
courtesy. 1t is said the church fears
the rebels may discontinue this cour-
tesy.
=. Have Shown Good Faith.
on the other hand the constitutional
lists up to the present time have. on the
whole. shown good faith with the
United States and an earnest desire to
restore tranquility AN commercial ac-
tivity throughout the republic. The
belief prevails, however, that no matter
what evidences of good faith Carranza
displays or how strong his representa-
tons to this country may be, there will
be great hesitancy on the part OF the
Washington government in granting
him recognition. President Wilson, Il
is known, will insist on nothing less
than the establishment Of a stable,
constitutional government. 1t will be
ND to CarranZa to shOW that he can de-
liver the goods.

None OF the other three was injured TO

to the car. Roland cannot state. how
the accident happened, as he was on
the back seat, and the first he noticed
was when the car commenced to swerve

The success of the constitutlOnallst
arms over Huerta would mark the cul.
mination of more than a century OF
strife growing out of the veNed land
question in Mexico. This problem
likely will form the subject of chief
interest among Carranza's policies. IN
Chihuahua where h constitutionalists
are in control, the confiscation and re-
distribution of great haciendas was n
of the first official acts of the rebel
chief. Whether he intends to pursue
q similar policy throughout Mexico In
the event of his success n just now
such a rolicy would he accepted by
foreign powers are matters about
which little is knoNn.
Prepare for Emergencies.
Whether the fall OF Mexico City can
be accomplished without riot and an
archy IS u matter receiving grave con-
sideration i'm official circles. 1t is
feared that some of the rebels in the
flush of victory will get beyond On
troll OF their more level headed officers
In the event of Huerta's overthrow and
institute q reign of carnage, pilage
and rapine. That there is fear of just
such a contingency is minated in dis
patches from Mexico City stating that
foreigners in the capital are fortifylng
themselves and preparing to- meet any
emergency.
Then there is the question of Car
ranza's ability TO compose the dis
traught republic. Whether or not Villa
