AT TORREON
VILLA AND CARRANZA'S AR
BITRATORS HOPELESSLY "
DISAGREED
TROUBLE BREWING
Over Printing and Misdirectins
Thirty Million Pesas BY Com
stitutionalist Agent

Washington, July 6.-The Mexican
situation tonight appeared to be at a
standstill. 1t generally was believed
here that no arrangements for a'meet-
ing to settle Mexico's internal troubles
could be made, unit the conference at
Torreon adjusted differences between
Villa and Carranza This probably will
consume several more days. ~
DR.. Romulo S. Naon, Argentine min
lister, one of the South American med
iators,r today discussed mediation at
length with Secretary of State Bryan.
After, the conference DR.. Naon reiter-
ated his expression of hope that Car
rama and Villa would soon adjust
their troubles and that Carranza
woud be authorized by the leaders OF
the revolution to send delegates to
, confer with Huerta's representatives.
Agents of .Carranza here received
reports from the Carranza-Villa con-
ference at Torreon, which they In
sisted held out strong, encouragement
that all the troubles Of tn econstitu-
tionalists coud be amicaby settled,
The case, Of General Angeles, Villas
chief of artillery, whom Carranza re-
Gently denounced, is said to be- the
chief matter of contention now. Pol
iticians are reported to have misrep-
resented Angeles to Carranza, and it
is predicted that Angeles will be re-
stored to the confidence of the first
chief
Report Herta Chosen.
Meager reports of yesterday cleo
ton in that part of Mexico controlled
: by Huerta, in which General Huerta
is said to have been reelected, though
by such scant vote that the election
may be declared void, caused no 8
citement in official circles here. Pre-
ident Wilson smihngly declined to to
comment on it. There was an under
current report, however, that the cleo
ton was designed to pave the way for
some stratagem by Huerta. The ru-
NOR still persisted that, he contem-
plated turning the Office over to Pedro
Lascurain and leaving the country.
Unofficial reports were circulated that
special train bearing members q.
General >Huerta's family and families
of some of his general had left Mexico
City during the day for Puerto, Mex
leo.
An echo of trouble arising over the
printing and misdirecting if thirty
millions pesos of constitutionalist
money in Washington came today

warded to Ell Paso for the arrest of

charging him with embezzlement.

DELIGHTFUL BIRTHDAY
MRS. A. m. ERWIN, OF AETREVILLE,
EHTERTkIHS.

Happy Hours that Were Pro-
longed by Heavy Rain - A
Good Mans Record Which is
Inspiring to the Young and of
Which his Neighbors are Very
Proud. a j..
Mrs. A. M. Erwin, of Antreville, wife OF
one Of the most successful and most highly
esteemed citizens of Abbeville County,
celebrated her birthday last Saturday
July 4, 1914. %..5 :
Among others to whom Mrs. Erwin ex-
tended invitations were Mrs. W. @. Sher-
ard, and Misses Rebecca and Matte Cater,
Of Abbeville. AS mark of special esteem
for these ladies, Mrs. Erwin sent her auto
mobile to Abbeville to convey them to the
occasion which was SO happy for all.
Mrs. Sherard is kinswoman Of Mrs.
Erwin, and the Misses Cater are held in
high esteem by Mr.. Erwin, who boarded at
their house for years In the past.
The day in every way was so pleasant
that Mrs. Erwin's Abbeville guests con-
scented to stay all night before coming
home on Sunday morning. A heavy rain,
which fell for several hours in the after
noon, kept all in doors for q good part OF
the day. The resultant muddy roads
made the return trip on Sunday morning
more difficult than it otherwise would have
been. Mrs. Erwin's Abbeville guests are
still happy, over the event, which will ever
be pleasant memory.
Mr.. A. M. Erwin is not only one Of the
most prosperous business men Of tAntre-
vile, but he is a tower of strength for all
that educates and elevates the neighbor-
hood.in which he lives. He Is q successful
merchant as well as a prosperous farmer,
taking an active part In all educational
and religious enterprises.
In the education and religious training
Of his children is to be found the best and
most convincing evidence Of his high char
acter and good citizenship. Three Of his
oldest children, after going through the
public school, were sent to college. namely:
Arthur was sent to Erskine College; Miss
Lillian was sent to the Womans College
at Due West; Miss Eunfce was sent to
Chicora College at Greenyille. ~
Mr.. Erwin is one OF the leaders Of the
Antreville School, and he had much to do
in inspiring his neighbors with theilaud-
able ambition to tax themselves to build
their new and splendid school house. It
was the Antreville school children under
thesuperintendency Of Prof. "A. w. Ayers
that won such notable distinction at Abbe-
vile recently, when SO many schools were
represented and competed for the honors.
