BENEATH DIGNITY.
Refuses to Agree to Demand to Sa.
lutte Flag.

Mexico City, April 19.-The Mexi-
can foreign minister, Senor Portilloy
Rojas, announced tonight that it
would be impossible to agree to the
demand of the United States that
the flag of that country be uncondi-
tionally saluted, because that flag was
not insulted, because it was not fly
ing from the launch and because the
marines were set free even before an
investigation and the officer response
Bile for the arrests was himself ar
rested and held for trial..
The foreign minister further an
nounced that the Mexican govern
ment would agree that both flags be
saluted, the American flag first, and
then the Mexican flag, this arrange
ment to be made by protocol sign
ed by the. American charge d
Affaires Nelson O'Shaughnessy and
the Mexican foreign minister.
The United States government, Sc
nor Portilla declared, had refused
permission to Charge O'Shaughnessy
to sign such protocol and demand
ed an unconditional salute by Mexi-
co, which Mexico felt was incompati-
BILE with her dignity.
In conclusion, the foreign minister
said:
Mexico has yielded as much as
her dignity will permit. Mexico
trusts to the fair-mindedness and
spirit of justice Of the American peo-
ple."

Boy Scouts Organization.

In this busy, hustling world OF
ours, while seeking to advance the
business interests of our town, are
we not neglecting. far more i'm
portant asset, the interests of our
bows? Shall We continue to leave
them with no place for wholesome
recreation, for they will find recrea-
tion somewhere, and it is perfectly
natural that they should; or shall
we commence a crusade in our midst
for amusement under proper super
vision which will probably prevent
their getting their first taste for evil
associates and prepare them for good
citizenship?
There is an organization for boys,
known as the Boy Scouts Of Amerl-
ca, which stands for clean sports and
for mind, muscle, morals, and man
hood. The boys of Bamberg are anx-
ious to band themselves into this
organization but so far no one mas
been found who cares enough for the
future of our boys to undertake this
supervision over their legitimate rec
reations and their education in body,
mind, morals, and character. Is there
not a man, or several men, who will
hear this call, and heed it? Right
here is an opportunity to form a
Junior Y. NJ. C. A. with Boy Scout
features, and they will be taught
truth, patience persistence, a rever-
ence for nobility of character, ply
sical manhood, and all the nobler vir-
tues, also to understand and love
the mysteries of nature and to fos-
ter a spirit of love for their country,
their fellow-man, and their God.

, New Passenger Depot.

For several months DR.. Geo. r.
Hair has been earnestly at work en-
deavoring to have the Southern Rail-
way erect a new passenger station
at this point, and at last his efforts
are to meet with success, as he has
received a letter from John G.
Richards, Jr., chairman of the rail-
road commission of South Carolina,
in which Mr.. Richards says that
Supt. Arthur has informed him that
work will begin in the near future
on depot at Bamberg and be pushed
rapidly to completion.
DR.. Hair has written Mr.. Rich
ards that it is the desire of the peo-
pie of Bamberg that this new depot
be made a union station for the
Southern Railway and the Bamberg,
Ehrhardt & Walterboro Railway, and
asked him to visit Bamberg as soon
as possible and look over the situa-
ton and advise with citizens here as
to sites, etc. There is no question
but that there should be a station
used by both roads, and this is what
should be done. As both roads are
going to build, it would seem to be
an easy matter to get them together
on the proposition.
