against Torreon. He entered by the east
and penetrated to the bull ring, north
of the center of the town, before he was
checked. Street fighting followed in
which hand grenades were the most use
ful weapons used.
General Villa, then at Gomez Palacio,
announced that he would join in the at
tack, taking supreme command He also
stated that the newspaper men with him
would not be allowed to send out any
news until the town was completely in
his hands.
Rllmors were everywhere and from
time to time the federals asserted that
Villa had been routed, and question
mark after the situation never loomed
larger than early last night. Early in
the evening Carranza announced that
the status at Torreon remained un-
changed.
Then came the bugle call of victory.
The streets were thronged instantly and
the crowds stormed towards Carranza's
residence.
Repeatedly the bugler sounded the
call and great wave of cheering arose
The electric lights strung about the
Carranza residence last Sunday to well

the red, white and green OF the Mexican
national colors.

Maderoi" 'Viva Mexieo!" came the
shouts of the crowd.
Inside General Carranza and his con-
fdential advisors were toasting Francis
co Villa, the hero of the campaign
The translation of the message re-
ceived by Gen. Carranza from Gen Villa
is as follows:
Il have the honor to announce that
after eleven days of severe fighting the
Constitutionalist army, which ] have
the honor to command, is in undisputed
possession of Torreon, the last remnant
OF the federal army having taken fight
this afternoon.
Il regret to say that General Velasco
has escaped with an escort of few men
and is being pursued by my cavalry.
my losses will number 500 killed
and wounded. The federal loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners will be fully l2,-
600"
BY General Carranza's orders, all the
town was illuminated. soldiers of the
garrison paraded and the military band
played.

Think on This.

1t would not be great deal of
trouble and expense for every farmer
to put sand-clay surface on the main
road running through his promises. It
should be O matter of pride for prop
erty owners to have the roads in front
of their houses properly graded and
surfaced. Certainly 1t would increase
Il mans own self-respect while COM
manding the respect and commenda-
ton Of others. The sand-clay road
and the split-log drag Is a combination
that can not be beat. The two go to-
gether and should be inseparable.-
Laurens Advertiser.
This Is worth serious thought. If
we could just get the people to think
and to think broadly and beyond their
own little selves we could have the
ideal life. How easy 1t would be for
every property owner, at least to CO.
operate, In the maintenance of the
road through his place. It should be,
as the Advertiser says, matter Of
pride to have the road in front of your
home property graded and surfaced
and then dragged. If you would do
1t you would soon come to have high
er regard for yourself and then you
would be an example to your neigh
Dor and soon every one else would be
doing something to improve the road
Before you can do much in improv-
ing the schools or in bettcring country
life something must be done for the
roads. Good roads are the fore-run-
ncrs Of the general upfift Of rural con-
ditions and rural life. Every one
should be interested and little self
help and personal interest and coop
GRAFTON will go long way in road
building and road maintenance.-New

PUT OUT or OWN OFFICE.
Office Force of The Advertiser has
been Treated Rather Roughly for
the Past Few DAYS.

To be put out" OF their own Of
flee, has been the experience Of the Of
flee force of The Advertiser during
the past week. Pending repairs to the
front Of the building. The Advertisers
front office had to be closed up and
rear Of the building, while Mr. Allen
Bramlctt, the "old Reliable" took the
supports from underneath the build
ing to place steel beam in their
stead. "Cap'n" Bramlett had a rath-
cr "ticklish" job on his hands to re-
move the supports without injury to
the building and contents, but the
job was finished without ripple on
the serenity of the evening. Al
though some Of the onlookcrs boss
ing" the job prophcsicd that tho build
ing would fall in. none of The Adver-
tiser force were uneasy, but staid on
the job. However, when the time came
for the supports to be actually re-
moved. there were SO many unusual
little details in the process inter
csting from scientific and other
standpoints that all desks were closed
down. machinery stopped and the
force went out on the street to watch
the sight. The new support being put
in and no further interest being at
tached to the rest Of the job, all the
force returned to their posts. None
of them were in the least uneasy
about the building falling in.
Mr.. Bramlett states that he expects
to get the work finished within sew
eral days and very shortly the moving
picture show will be In operation un-
