AN ALARMING
CONDITION

As will be noticed by reference
to our news columns, but two
marriage licenses were issued by
the county clerk during the
month of May. This shows a
deplorably stagnant condition in
line which, as the market re-
ports would say, should be
active" during the merry month
of May. What has become of
that old fashioned condition of
affairs which led the poet to re
mark something to the effect
that I'm the spring the young
mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love?" In this neck
O. woods the young mans fancy
doesn't seem to be turning. to
any great extent. Or is it, pos
sibly, the young lady's fancy
which fails to turn? Anyhow
this is a matter that should be
looked into by the Commercial
Club. And while the Club is
Viewing with alarm, it should
not forget to honor the two cou-
Piles who have taken the first
step toward compliance with the
biblical injunction to replenish
the earth, and thus saved the
county from utter extinction
along matrimonial lines.
Bob Cargo, who was one of the
popular railroad boys at this
point a few years ago, dropped
into the city on Sunday to visit
his uncle, E. N. Peden. Bob is
studying law at one of the eastern
universities and expects to be
admitted to practice during the
coming year.

 ONE OF THE VACANCIES.

Washington, D. C., June S.-Follow- ing the presidents announcement that the nominations of the entire membership of the federal reserve board would be sent to the senate within "he next day or two," specu- lation was rife tonight in official cir rles over the identity of the men who will be named to complete that body.
 me secretary of the treasury and the comptroller of the currency are to be eX-officio members of the board and three others chosen for membership have been known unof- ficially for several weeks-Paul M Warburg of New York, Adolph c. Miller of San Francisco and w. r. C. Harding of Birmin2ham. The two vacancies to be filled were created by the declination of Richard Olney of Boston and Harry A. Wheeler o1 Chicago to serve.
 IL was said definitely tonight by 0lAiNldAo AAbHt tO ttAN IT NAlAtuh AliehA he had not finally decided on the men to be appointed.
 Long conferences between the president and Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and First Assistant Secretary Charles S. Hamln gave rise to confident predictions that Mir Hamlin is to be a member of the board.
 George E. Roberts, director of tho mint still is mentioned as a probable selection from the middle west How ever, the opinion seems widespread
 in administration circles that tho president will not name two mer now ln the treasury. and r.. C. Sim mons of St. Louis still is regarded al the favored candidate in the middle west There is a momement on tn, part of Chicago banks to have a mai from that city given place on th' | board.

 OFFICIALS LECTURING.
MEASURE IS AIMED AT BRYAN
Author Declares it Is No Time for Mr. Bryan to Be Hiking Around the Country With Tyroleon Yodlers and Contortionsts.

Washington, June s. Secretary Bryans lecture tours cropped up in the house again today when Repre-. sentative Brtten Of Illinois (Republi- can), introduced a bill to make it a penal offense for any cabinet officer head or clerk of government depart ment to lecture for pay other than actual hotel and travelling expenses and to prohibit senators or represent. atyes from lecturing for pay Wlile congress is il session Offenders would be fined $l0.oo0 or imprisoned for two years or suffer both penalties.
 Mr. Britten launched a broadsidc in a statement accompanying his bill in which he spared no DO itical party ana included Senator IaFoIlette and Representative Murdock. He said:
 This bill was prepared last Sop tem5er but was not introduced when Secretary Bryan formally declared that he would lecture no more dur ing the period The rec mt am nouncement from Philadelphia that seyera members of congress ana the distinguished secretary of state had signed contracts for a period of lee lures beginning July 1 is responsible for my bill
 am at a loss to understand how the secretary can consistently leave his office when state Of war prarc- tically exists between this country and Mexico and the foreign policy of our government is being laughed at by every civilized nation on earth This is certainly no time for Mir Bryan to be hiking around the country d9in4 one night stands with Tyrolean yoG lers. contortionists and slei-ht of hand artists and am equally oppos- cd to members of congress doing this sort of thing when congress Is in ses- sion
 "The Philadelphia announcement declared that Secretary Bryan, Sena- tor IaFollette and Congressman Mur- dock had signed contracts for lectures beginning July I. Speaker Clark asst year cancelled contracts at a loss to him of $l0.o00 on account of his aver sion to being away from congress. | purpose to ask the house judiciary committee for a hearing with a view to some action along this line'
 Secretary Bryan announced some time ago that all his lecture eneage- monts for the coming summer were contingent upon the state of foreigu affairs and whether he could be a9- sent from Washington.

 Hunuer Strike.

London, June S.-"Let them die, !" is becoming "a rather popular slogan in connection with the hunger strik- ing suffragettes since the public has become so profoundly resentrul of the militants' actions. 1t was re- ported today that the government has decided to introduce legislation to in- demnify the prison authorities against the consequences of allowing suffragettes to starve themselys to death while in prison.
 The Evening Standard today inter- viewed a number of prominent people, including clergymen. on the subject, and all of the latter who are quoted by the newspaper express themselves in favor of the proposal.
 Father Bernard Vaughan, brother of the late Cardinal Nauehan, re- piled.
 "There would be nothing ethically wroBg in letting them die"

new government would be given for maj recognition by the United States and thus enabled to float loans and rehabilitate Mexicos finances. AL ready there is talk of a $100,O00,00O loan to cover the multitude of obliga- tons arising out of four years of al- most incessaut revolution.
 Little work would remain for the mediation conference if the constitu- tionahsts accepted the principle of the plan already under consideration. The answer from General CarranZa to the latest communication of the mediators is expected in another AS hours and will have considerable bearing on the attitude of he Ameri- can government toward the peace 1 plan.
 The Mexican delegation tonight made public extracts from their note to the mediators which brought about the request to the American govern ment for a declaration of it's interpre- taton of the armistice and its rea- ton to the AntilIa shipment of arms.
 The extract follows:
 According to news published in the press, an hour after the AutiIla had been cleared without difficulty by the fiscal authorities of New York, said authorities received the general order issued by the Washing lon government forbidding the ship ments of arms to Mexican ports. This order shows that it is the inten- ton of said government to show no preference for either of the combat ants in Mexico and it is natural to suppose that in the same spirit it was to consider it opportune to give inc necessary orders to the American navy forces to prevent the unloading ot the war material in Tampico un- less it Is thought preferable that the Me> can emboats detain the vessel and seize the COutraband of war. In ,his last case the American govern ment must not consider the act as hostile to the American nation, as Ge Mexican dclesation places on record it's governments most earnest desire to avoid any incident which may disturb the peace negotiations.
 The Mexican delegations note begs the mediation plenipotentiaries to take the case into consideration, and ends:
 rho Mexican delegation will es- teeni if a favor if the gentlemen of the press will endeavor to procure a full and literal publication of the aGove and Of any future statements which may issue as a partial publica ton or a paraphrase are apt to ob- scure the meaning of the same"

tion from the shores of the United States at Tampico.
 At the state department it was pointed out that the record thus far would show that the administration had been acting with exact neutrality as between the federals and constitu- ionalists.
 The general belief is that the out look is more hopeful in view of Hu- ertas present attitude, and there are many who believe General Carranzas answer to the recent note of the South American mediating envoys will pave the way for reception Of his delegates to the peace conference. Carranza's s representatives here eX- pected to hear from the chief at Sal tillo tomorrow. Some of Carranza friends here still insist there will be no agreement to a cessation of hos tlities in the Mexican conflict.
 Conditions on the west coast of Mexico, already bad for Huerta, are becoming worse daily, according to Admiral Towards report. Not only is there heavy fighting at Santiago and san Anita. Lower California, but Mazatan is nearly starved out and internal dissensions are imminent. Admiral Howard has sent the An uapolis to santa Rosalie, Lower Cali rornia, to complete a chain of wire less communication in view of the uncertainty Of the cables. He reports that Thomas Fernandez. presumably an American, is imprisoned at Topic.
 Gunboats Return to Puerto Mexico.
 Washington D. C., June S.--Rear Admiral Badger cabled the navy de- rartment late tonight that the MeXi- can federal gunboats Bravo and Ear agoza left Tampico for Puerto Mex ico at i o'clock this afternoon.
 Orders from Foreign Minister Ruiz at Mexico City transmitted from Vera Cruz to Tampico by the wireless instruments of American warships gave the Mexican commanders their first news of the suspension of the blockade and directed them to re- turn to Puerto Mexico.
 The departure of the gunboats was accepted here as meaning that the suspension of the blockade would be permaneut.
 If Admiral Badger reported details of conferences between Admiral Mayo and the Mexican officers upon the arrival of the gunboats at Tam pico the navy department did not make them public

HOBSON FIGHTING !.
FORTHE SENATE | [
Underwood Remains at His
Post in Washington While
Battle is On.
PRIMARIES IN APRIL.
Prohibition and Gubcrnatorial Contest
Important Features in Deciding is
Sue in Alabama.

montgomery, FEB. 16.-The seven
months fight between Oscar I'm
derwood, majority leader of the
National House of Representatives,
and Representative Pearson Hobson,
for the Alabama vacancy in the
United States Senate is drawing to
"a close. The deciding votes in a
campaign that has attracted nation
wide interest will be cast at tn.
Democratic primaries April 6. The
election will take place November
4, but that merely will be ratifica-
tion of the choice made in the prim-
AIRY.
Mir. Underwood has announced
from Washington that so far as
personal participation was concern
ed, his campaign already has ended.
Representative Hobson is continu-
ing the personal campaign he has
been waging for many months, dur
ing which time he has spoken in
nearly every county and town in
the State.
Typical Of all latter-day political
fights in the South, the Hobson- Un-
derwood campaign has been more
or less involved with the question of
Statewide prohibition. Mr.. Hobson
has charged his opponent with hav-
ing been Influenced by "!iquor in
-eresss," He also charged tSat cor
poratior influerce was behind the
campaign Of Underwood for the
Presidential nomination in 1912.
These charges have been denied.
The Senatorship fight is involved
more or less in the race for Cover
nor, which likewise will be decided
at the April primaries. There are
five Gubernatorial candidates and
the campaign has been more bitter
than the Hobson- Underwood fight.
