Washington, May 9.-The Mexican
situation has assumed a more warlike
aspect. Activities In the war depart
ment, which began on the receipt of
long confidential advices from General
Funston, were renewed through the
morning and were brought to the at
tention of President Wilson and the
cabinet at its regular session.
While this activity disclosed that
every preparation was being made for
possible eventualities, yet Secretary
OF War Garrison said just before en-
tering the cabinet meeting that mo
additional troop movements have been
ordered"
In the midst of the military prepara-
tIons came definite word that the me-
dating ENJOYS had received from Gen
eral Huerta. and submitted to the
United States government, complaint
that new landing of American troops
and war material at Vera Cruz
amounted to a breaking of the armis-
tice which had been arranged by the
South American diplomats.
This also was one of the subjects
before the cabinet. Secretary Bryan
tors note had been received by him
and that reply would be made.

"The situation has not been paint

Rogue, adjuster for a well known hail

was among the visitors in Columbia

badly damaged the crops in sections
of York, Laurens, Union, Spartanburg,

PAINTS WOE ON HIS BARN
Town Meeting and Court Failing Riv-
erhead Man, He Appeals in
Big Letters.

A sign on the barn Of John J.
Pigot Of Riverhead, L. l., contains the
following in large white letters on a
black background:
"A thief is in possession of farms
and lands hereabouts. Law, court
and perjurers are friends OF the
thief"
Pigot, who Is apparently an edu-
Gated man, past middle age, and rep
uted to be wealthy, came here from
Brooklyn two years ago. He bought
a farm on Mill Pand, the water rights
of which are controlled by the River
head Electric Light company.
Soon afterward he complained to
the company that his land was being
flooded because the water was held
back for power. This was denied.
Then Pigot hired a hall, invited the
public, and made an address. He
said Riverhead was controlled by a
ring" and assailed several leading
citizens.
Subsequently he sued the electric
company for $4,000, alleging that his
farm had been damaged. The action
was decided by Justice Blackmar In
favor of the company.

Troops viii Camp at B%atesburg.

Troops viii Camp at Batesburg.
A movement Is on foot at Batesburg
to hold IN encampment at this place
of the four Columbia companies, with
possibly one other, and negotiations
are now being made whereby these
companies will come here about the
middle of August for a stay of a week
or ten days. 1t Is known that the
companies have no funds at hand for
such purposes, and the annual en-
campment Of the National Guard is
anticipated with a great deal of pleas
ure by the boys Of the various compa-
MES, but this year found them with
out any visible means Of holding such
an encampment. The people of Bates
burg, however, will likely get together
and arrange it so that the Governors
Guards, the Richland Volunteers, the
Brookland Light Infantry and the Col
umbia Light Infantry can have an en-
campment here. A committee met
some of the officers ,of the Columbia
companies in Columbia recently hav-
ing been delegated by the BatesDurg
Board of Trade to ascertain the nee
essary requirements.
The plan as mapped out embraces
a ten days stay here, in which time
the people of this section will have
the opportunity of seeing the ma
neuvers of the National Guard and
the interesting military tactics en-
ployed by the state militia. Two
sham battles are scheduled to take
place, together with a daily drill and
band concert. A feature of the en-
campment will be the inspection OF
the companies by Gen. Willie Jones
and staff, Immediately after the sham
battle has been held. This battle will
likely draw a large crowd to Bates
burg, and plans are on foot to hold
it in the town proper, proving some
thing Of a novelty to the people here
about. Prominent army officers Will
act as the Judges. >

MEETING ON PREPARATION AT.
TENDED BY BANKERS, MILL
MEN AND FARMERS.
DISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA
Dolnos and Happenings That Mark
the Progress Of South Carolina Peo-
pie, Gathered Around the State
Capitol.
Columbia

A caucus on ways and lean Of
combating the boil weevil was held
recently in the ball room Of the JEFF
ferson hotel. 1t was attended by
bankers, cottonseed crushers, cotton
spinners, representatives of Clemson
College and the department of agri-
culture and other men all vitality in
terested in the question in hand.
AS a result Of the meeting a COM
mittee was appointed to formulate
some plan looking to the alienation
Of the evils attendant upon the in
vasion of South Carolina by the boil
weevil, which 1t is predicted will take
place in about five years. On the COM
mittee were appointed: G. j. Shan
non, chairman, Camden, president Of
the State Bankers Association; Eli
son A. Smythe, G~reenville, president
Of the State Cotton Manufacturer
Association; John T. Stevens, Lancas-
ter, president of the State Cottonseed
Crushers' Association; DR.. W. M.
Riggs, president of Clemson College;
DR.. W. W. Long, state agent in charge
of farm demonstration work for the
department of agriculture in co-opera-
ton with Clemson College; DR.. B. H.
Rawl, of the department Of agrfcul-
ture; E. J. Watson, commissioner of
agriculture, and E. w. Dabbs, Mayes-
vile, president of the State Farmers
Union. Chairman Shannon was in
structed to appoint on the committee
a representative merchant, railroad
man and fertilizer manufacturer.
The committee will meet at the
call of the chairman. The plan Of pro-
ceeding against the boil weevil upon
which they agree will be presented to
a meeting of men from all over the
state in Columbia this fall.
Bright Williamson, Of Darlington,
former president Of the bankers asso-
citation, in the keynote speech Of the
caucus declared that there must be
the closest cooperation between farm
ers, bankers and cotton manufactu-
rers If the generalization which fol-
lowed the invasion of other states by
the boil weevil was to be prevented
in South Carolina.
DR.. Long, who followed Mr.. Will
hanson, made a very optimistic
speech. He said that the state must
prepare now to educate the farmers
in cultural methods and diversified
ton to prevent decentralization when
the boil weevil arrived. DR.. Long de-
clared that it wac a bad mistake to
create the impression that absolute
desolation followed the boil weevil
and declared that the pest was the
business mans rather than the farm
er's problem.
1.-The credit men must present a
solid front to the ~onslaughts Of the
boil weevil," said DR.. Long.

FARMERS MEETING
ANNUAL CONVENTION OF UNION
HOLDS SESSION IN CITY
OF ANDERSON,
PRESIDENT DABB'S REPORT
Head Of the South Carolina State
Union Tells of a Years Activity
In the Planters Interest.

Anderson. - Fifty delegates were
present when President Dabbs call
ed the convention of the State Farm
ers' Union to order, all of the 20 coun-
ty unions being represented. Presi-
dent Dabbs' annual report vas in the
nature of a resume Of what &c had
done during the year to encourage
the members Of the union, a report
of his attendance upon the national
convention at Salina, Kan, and a re-
port of his work as chairman Of the
committee from the national union to
visit President Wilson and Secretaries
McAdoo and Houston as to the treas
ury deposits for moving the crops
and the market bureau of the depart
ment Of agriculture.
President Dabbs -commends the ed
ucational institutions Of the state,
mentioning Clemson. and Winthrop In
particular. He urged the members
of the union to support and cooper
ate with the rural and high schools in
their districts, pointing out that edu-
cation is the main plank in the foun-
dation for makingNa good and success
full farmer. President Dabbs rec
ommends the appointment Of a COM
mittee to cooperate with committees
Of other organizations in preparing for
the invasion of the boil weevil In
South Carolina. .
He commended and extended
thanks to the press Of the state for
able and courteous assistance in fur
thering the work of the union, both
editorially, and In the news columns.
He advocates and urges. that every
city and town have its board of trade
and every rural district have its
union so that they might work to-
gether harmoniously for the good Of
their counties.
The reports Of the executive COM
mittee and secretary-treasurer, j.
Whitner Reid, show that the financial
condition of the union today is better
than it was one year ago, also a
small increase in membership. The
failure to increase the membership
materially is due to the inability to
find suitable men to serve as organ
izers.
From now on efforts will be made
to organize unions in every county.
The reports declare that good bust
ness propositions over the state are
working so successfully that the men,
bers feel that the union has grown
stronger instead Of weaker. Presi-
dent ,Dabbs declared the union is
stronger today in the determination
Of those who are sticking by the
union and who are coming in than 1t
was one year ago..
The delegates were the guests OF
President Riggs at Clemson College

ing and returning. late in the after
