with no appreciation Of the fact that
education is meant to be common

been married by class spirit, social
snobbishness, sometimes creeping
out in fraternities, said the speaker,
and it has been seen to throttle the
spirit of democracy and rob the col

Woodrow Wilson found at Prince
ton desire for money so strongly
entrenched on the board Of trustees
that even at the hour In which New
Jersey looked to him as its future
governor he was in the throes Of de-

northern institutions there had
spread a spirit that was hostile to the
spirit of serving the people. Edu-

HAVE FIERCE FIGHTING
REBELS AND FEDERALs ENGAGE
IN ANOTHER BATTLE.
Report Says Five Thousand Were
Defeated by Villa Who Took Eight
Hundred Prisoners.

Desperate fighting is in progress
before Saltillo, but the wires direct
from the front, silent, it is believed,
under the order Of Gen. Francisco
Villa, have brought no details Of the
engagements. Whether Villa has
fought his way through the outer de-
lenses of the federal stronghold and
is knocking on the gates of Saltillc
itself or whether a desperate defense
of the positions north of the town
have suficed to check the Constttu-
tionalist advance, was uncertain from
the little news that came through.
The only direct information reach
ing Ell Paso, Tex, was in a dispatch
from Isidro Fabela, acting minister
of foreign affairs in the Constitution
alist government, which informed the
Constitutionalist Junta that Villa had
defeated force Of 5000 federals at
Paredon, inAicting heavy casualties,
capturing 500 prisoners, and much
ammunition and other valuable NUM-
tions of war. Two federal generals
were among those said to have been
killed.
Neither the time nor date Of the
engagement was specified in Fabela's
dispatch, which was sent from Du-
range. Gen. Carranza and his staff,
among whom was Senior Fahela, re-
turned to Durango late Tuesday
night from Sombrerete, Zacatecas. It
is regarded as possible that the news
contained in the dispatch may have
been sent in a wire from the front
some days ago.
The mention Of the engagement Of
5000 troops at Paredon, As miles
from the federal base, has proven a
puzzle to men who have followed the
campaign closely. The first serious
engagement of the campaign was re-
ported to have occurred near that
point Friday when 800 men Of the
Zaragonza brigade, under Gen. Raoul
Madero, surprised and scattered a
federal force Of 400.
This is the last direct news Of the
campaign to reach Ell Paso from the
front although other minor skir-
mishes were rumored. If the Du-
range dispatch Is correct and the en-
gagement took place after the defeat
administered to the federal force by
Gen. Madero, it may indicate that the
federals have advanced in force from
Saltillo,

trally located, has been set a4jse a.

includes chemical fire engine,
smoke helmets and other fire appara-
tus. The fremen patrol the Water

is the automatic sprinkling apparatus
with which the steamship has been
equipped.

gers of first class steamships a gen.

Anderson Sheriff Goes for Negro
. Wanted in Anderson.


Sheriff Ashley went to Jackson
vile, Fla, Monday afternoon to bring
back negro, John Thomas, 20 years
Of age, who is charged with making
an improper advance on the young
daughter of substantial and we'll
known farmer Of the Honea Path Sec
ton, just across the line in Abbeville
county, Saturday. The negro was
concealed in the bushes and attract
ing the young woman's attention
beckoned to her-to come to him
She screamed and an old negro man
working in a nearby field went to
her rescue.
A mob Of 200 secured tie country
Saturday afternoon and night and
prosecuted the search through Sum
day without result. Sheriff Ashley
learned that a negro had bought a
ticket at Ninety-Six for Jacksonville
and wired the authorities there. The
negro was caught early Monday as-
ternoon below Jacksonville.

still had a majority Of the delegates
in the convention. He said that
Mayor Grace had bolted and had re-
fused to enter the convention and file
protest. He thought that the lat
ter course would have been better.
In one Of the wards, it was charg-
ed by Mr.. Barnwell, the Grace fac
ton had changed the meeting place
from Hibernian hall and the new
meeting place had not been properly
advertised. Mayor Grace submitted
affidavits and contended that the
meeting had been properly advertis~
ed. This was Ward /, Club l.. There
were many counter charges in con-
nection with this meeting. The
charges in connection with ali Of the
other wards were reviewed by the
committee.
Mr.. Barnwell, says The News and
Courier account, focused the issue OF
the one point that the county con-
vention did the right thing in stick
ing to the prima facie club rolls as
made up by the county executive
committee, and that the Grace fac
ton should have remained in the
county convention at least until there
was a show by the convention itself
that it would give his side no justice,
and that without a test there was no
way of his knowing that he and his
friends would not have gotten q fair
deal. II they had not, then and then
only should an appeal have been
made.
Mr.. Barnwell and his assistant,
Mr.. Arthur Young, kept on hammer
ing on the point that Mr.. Grace had
absolutely no right to assume that
he and his friends would not have
gotten a square deal in the conven-
ton. 1t was admitted that On the
prima facie club roll the Barnwell
delegates were in a majority, and Mr..
Barnwell's insistence was that the
only correct proceeding was to have
accepted the prima facie roll Of un-
contested delegations and referred
the contesting delegations to the COM
mittee on credentials.
AS the issue was finally settled, it
was by the unanimous vote Of the
committee that the Barnwell delega-
tion be recognized and seated, subse-
quently confirmed by the convention
itself.

FOUND BY CHILDREN.
Mystery Surrounds Death Of Man
Whose Body is Found.

The dead body of R. J. Ransom, a
white man, whose home is supposed
to be in Bro~ton, Ca, was found at
Aiken Tuesday near Coco Springs by
some school children who were out
picnicking. A good deal Of mystery
surrounds the case as the body seems
to have been lifeless for several
days.
Ransom was agent for lightning
rod company with head Office at St.
Louis, Mo-, and has had travelling
with him a man from Mccormick.
On the 18th Ransom took an order
from W. W. Mcdaniel Of Edgefeld
county. Last Tuesday night he spent
the night ct Kelly Tools stable and
the last time he was seen in town was
Saturday morning. The inquest has
not at this time been held.

AID TO FARMERS
SMITH TALKS OF BENEFITS OF
STANDARDIZATION PLAN.
Saws if Farmer Doesn't Get Full
Value for His Goods It VIII be His
Own Fault.

Own Fault.
In connection with the passage by
the Senate Monday of his amendment
to the agricultural appropriation bill,
making available Immediately upon
the enactment of the bill an appro-
priation of 100000 to place set Of
samples of government standards OF
cotton, with 4 set Of the yarns made
from these samples, at every local
cotton market in the South, Senator
E.. D. Smith said:
"I did this because the farmers
who sell their cotton are at the mercy
Of the buyer as to what grade their
cotton is and at the mercy of the
buyer as to the value of each grade
as compared with the other grades.
With set of these standardized sam
pies each farmer who goes to mar
ket can compare his own cotton with
the samples furnished by the govern
ment and determine what grade he
has. He can then refer to the yarns
made from the grade that his cotton
happens to be, and determine its rel
ati7e value to the other grades. In
other words, this appropriation Will
furnish him with the same knowledge
that every mill man and every buyer
has, and therefore, put him on an
equal footing with them. With this
knowledge he should demand the full
value of every grade of his cotton.
Several years ago bill was pass
ed by congress to standardize the
grades of cotton. When came to
the Senate found that these, stand
ard grades were lying very serenely
in the agricultural department. The
New Orleans market had adopted
these grades, but had added other
grades, both above and below. New
York had paid no attention to them.
1 had an appropriation made to test
the relative spinning value Of these
different grades and the result of this
test I have sent broadcast over the
State. With my amendment, which
passed to-day, the legislation is now
almost complete, so far as the cotton
farmer is concerned.
'T promised the farmers OF the
State when came to the Senate that
I would attempt to relieve the bur
dens Of this cotton problem. If the
farmer does not now get the full
value Of every grade of his cotton, he
is alone to blame, for the knowledge
is furnished him. It was very fiat
tering to me and very gratifying that
the vote in the Senate appropriating
this 100000 was more than three to
one in favor of it. The pity of it is
that the knowledge. we now have
could not have been given US years
ago."

The mediation conference is expect
ed to reach climax in short time.
The president does not look for pro-
tracted negotiations, but believes be-
fore many days some definite idea OF
the concessions which Gen. Huerta is
ready to make will be obtained. If
the Fuerta delegates are conciliatory
and show themselves amenable to the
plans proposed by the mediators and
acceptable to the United States, an
effort to draw the constitutionalists
into the agreement undoubtedly will
be made by the American government
the mediation.
In Constitutionalist quarters the
talk of compromise arrangement by
which Huerta would rely in favor Of
neutral person and cabinet who
would conduct an election and guar
antee certain immediate reforms has
not yet made much Of an appeal.
Constitutionalist reports say that in
another month they will have settled
the Mexican question by forcibly TAX
ing possession of Mexico City.
AS to mediation, they insist that
the mediators never have answered
Gen. Carranza's last telegram, in
which he sought to know the exact
nurnoses Of the mediation before
sending a representative to Niagara
Falls The last word from the media
tors to Ca-ranza was that, in view Of
his refusal to suspend hostilities with
Huerta. they must withdraw their
invitation for him to participate in
the mediator.

How much happier is the home in

lis the duty of every mother to know
the nature Of her child in order that
she may assist in the development of
all Of his possibilities. Mrs. Gruen-
berg points out that child study is a
new science but old enough to give us
great help through what the experts
have found out about ''child nature"
But the experts do not know your
child; they have studied the problems
of childhood, and their results you can
use in learning to know your child.
Your problem is always an individual
problem; the problem of the scientist
is a general one. From the general
results, however, you may get sugges
tons for the solution of your individ
ual problem. The mother who COM

pearance. Bolero turbans are new and
are placed at various angles. The eff
feet is rather extreme, particularly as
at times one side of the hrim comes
down nearly to the shoulder, and the
brims are not very wide at that. The
wearing of such shapes means the abb
solute cutting off of the line of vision
from the side thus affected.
There are now sailors, little away
from the conventional shapes, the
crowns not being very round and rath-
er higher than we have been accus-
toned to see in sailors. The brims are
narrow and sometimes a bit curved,
but these very changes make them
look smart.
The textiles employed are diversi-
fed. Fine faille silk for soft crown
is a special feature adopted by several
modistes. All of them use more or
less velvet. Lace effects, including
beaded nets, are seen at other estab-
lishments, and mixtures of lace and
ribbon are seen here and there. Once
in a while one comes across something
very summary looking and then it is
apt to be a mixture of Chantilly or
maline lace with some fine straw tast-
lily combined with flowers or a tall
trimming of feathers.
