Is not known. 1t is commonly at

FOR IMPROVEMENT
WORK OF SCHOOLS
Leader of the State Association APP
peared Before Senators AdvO.
eating Measures.

Having appeared before the senate
finance committee in support of a bill
providing for the establishment of the
Office of field agent of the state school
Improvement association, which car
ries an appropriation Of $1,000, Miss
May Eva Hite, president of the asso-
citation returned to her home at Aiken
Wednesday afternoon. Shortly before
her departure she expressed herself
as being well pleased with the out
look for success in this effort. This
bill was introduced in the house by
REPRESENTATIVE Youmans of Columbia.
Discussing the proposed office and
the attached duties, she stated that
the work of the state school improve
ment association was greatly hand1-
capped by lack of funds, and that an
official with full powers and the sup
port of an appropriation for the con-
tinuance of the work was essential
to the best results.
Miss Hite referred to the fact that
the school improvement associations
operations touched only schools in the
rural districts and in municipalities OF
less than 400 population, which n
emphasized at her appearance before
the senate committee, as the strong
est point in her argument. THAT point
converted a number of legislators
with whom I discussed this matter as
they were committed to exert all
their energies to the betterment OF
the rural Schools" she said.
She declared that in 1912 only lo5
schools entered the contests for mon
etary prizes offered by the association
These schools were in rs counties
and completed Improvements during
the year valued at $4,000. During
1918, a total Of LAT schools in 81
counties entered the contests and
made improvements valued at $2O7,-
900.
Her term Of Office as president or
the association expires. in March.

MEXICO'S NEXT PRESIDENT

In studying conditions in troubled
Mexico, two facts stand out boldly /:
That Huerta's S rpation is rapidly
drawing TO a close and that Francisco
Villa is the real man of the hour
amongst the revolutionists.
If in the condition of anarchy
prevailing in Mexico anything may
be predicted with reasonable certain
ty, it is that Villa, the Bandit Chief,
now the head of a conquering army,
will be named as president under
new conditions. A few facts about
this remarkable man may prove OF
interest to the readers of The Press
and Banner.
When Villa was a boy, a Mexican
soldier insulted his sister, and Villa
shot him, mounted his horse and es-

Falls.
WATERFORD Press and Standard.

WATERFORD Press and Standard.
Rev. B. F. Halford, a lifetime resident of
Collector County and a man who has done
much for the cause of Christ In the county
left Saturday for his new home in Calhoun
Falls. He has accepted a call as pastor OF
the Baptist Church there, one of the iarg-
est churches in the county. Mr.. Halford
leaves many friends in Colleton County
who will regret that the Lord has called
him to other fields. AS a minister, Mr.,
Halford was conscientious and energetic
and the work has proepered wherever he
has been in charge.
Before entering the ministry Mr.. Hal
ford was eminently successful in business
owning and operating a large hardware
establishment at the time when he felt
himself called to the ministry. At first he
continued his business while preaching,
but later, feeling that he could not divide
his time, he closed his business and began
In earnest to prepare himself for the min
istry. He took the English Ministerial
Course at Iowa Christian College, having
the degree Of B. L. conferred upon him.
He also attended for awhile the Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary at Louis
Vile where he took the pastors course
He has the distinction Of having been the
first blue-seal graduate pastor In the state
in teacher training, thus fitting himself for
his great work.
Mr.. Halford has filled pastorates In the
Collector, Savannah River, Charleston and
Orangeburg Associations with credit to
himself and honor to his Master. Before
leaving for Calhoun Falls on the third
Sunday he visited his former fields where
he was we'll received.
The people Of Colleton, while regretting
to part with Mr.. Halford, yet wish for him
much success in his new scene of activity,
and the prayers of all his former church
members will be with him there.

ton rural credits bills were intro
duced in the senate and house today
Senator Fletcher introduced the
senate measure, and Representative
Moss the house bill. Both were mem
bers of the commission which went
abroad to study rural credits.
The bills were for long term loans
Short term bills will be presented
later. The bills would establish a bu-
reau of farm land banks in the trea.
sury department. Provision will be
made for the organization Of such In
situations in the various states under
federal inspection. Land banks might
be organized by any group of state
farmers. The banks will have power
to issue bonds, to raise funds and
will be strictly prohibited from do
ing Getty business"
Loans to farmers might not exceed
fifty percent of the value of the I'm
proved land, nor extend more than
thirty-fve years. The foundation OF
liability, will be double liability. the
same as required on national banks
and would be necessary before ladn
banks could do business.
The amount Of long term business
could not exceed fifteen times the
amount of paid share capital and
surplus. The banks could receive and
pay interest on deposits not exceeding
fifty per cent. of capital and sur

posed, villa was % Ill pllooH,
afterward escaping to a border town
in Texas. He had been a terror in
Mexico as a bandit, and as an officer
in Madero's army he was even more
terrible. 1t is said of him, however,
that he did not ply his trade purely
for selfish purposes, and where he
took from the rich he gave to the
poor.
When the present revolution was
in its incipiency Villa was living
quietly in Texas. He informed his
acquaintance there that he was go
ing to Mexico, raise an army and
avenge the death of his former chief,
ex-P President Madero. This has been
only a few months ago.
Today he is at the head of $4,000
revolutionists, we'll drilled, we'll
equipped and thoroughly disciplined.
He has carried victory before him in
all northern Mexico and now he is
iayading the South.
In northern Mexico where his
word is law, he has shown marked
craftsmanship as we'll as generalship.
Having seized all manufacturing
plants, railroads and other public
utilities, he has set them in opera
ton, paying the operatives wages
and reserving the profits as war rev.
enue. He has seized the mines of
that section which are rich in gold
and silver. He has established a
bank with nothing but the banking
house and empty vault to start with.
The mines are worked under guard,
the laborers paid and the profits de-
posted in his bank as a basis of cir
culation. Before establishing his
bank he kept a safe in which the
profits of public works were deposit
ed, and from this he drew as he
needed funds. He kept no books,
but such fear is he held in that it is
said there was little or no danger of
any of the funds being taken by his
subordinates.
While his men worship him, they
fear him even more. He will bear
any hardship with them or for them,
so long as they r straight and loyal,
but they know they will be shot
without mercy if they are caught in
any treachery or even in II grave
breach of discipline. He has the
reputation of keeping his word good
or bad. On one occasion while he
was a bandit in the mountains of
Mexico, a police commissioner said
that he would capture him within
the month. Villa sent him word
that he would kill him within a
week. He rode into the city, met
the police commissioner in the streets
and shot him to death as he had
threatened.
1t has been stated a number Of
times that Villa was totally illiterate.
This is not true. He reads and
writes fairly well. He' says he got
most of his education while in pris-
ON, feeling the urgent necessity there
for, and he has studied ever since
leaving prison. He does not hesitate
to sit down and write his name just
to show that he a do it.
Villa says he does not want the
presidency. Mark Anthony made a
similar declaration, and Caesar thrice
refused the crown. Villa speaks Of
Carranza az his chief, but it is because
he knows it would not be wise to
have divisions in the rebel camp at
this time. He is the real head of the
revolution and he knows it. His is
the iron hand that will surely sue
coed to the presidency.

BIG BUSI-
NESS.

France undertook the construction
of a, canal across the Isthmus of Pan
anna and failed. The United States
government is just completing the
work where her sister republic failed,
Within the last ten days Congress
has decided to build a railroad to
Alaska, a distance Of more than 1000
miles. Many people think that this
is the entering wedge for govern
ment ownership of railroads. Nc
other nation has ever undertaken
work of this magnitude or of such d
novel nature, with the possible ex'
ception of Russia, in building her
trans-Siberian railroad.
The United States government has
already become a serious competitor
of the express companies, and bills
are pending in Congress looking to
the ownership of telegraph and tele-
phone lines.
What changes of spirit have come
over the public mind to make posi-
BILE these giant undertakings by the
government? Twenty years ago,
such ideas were ridiculed.
It is doubtful if the government
will ever undertake ownership OF
railroads, though some countries, no.
tably Germany, own their railroads.
With competitive rates and govern
ment regulation strictly enforced,
there does not seem to be any crying
necessity for ownership. But owner
ship of telegraph and telephone lines
is another and a much more feasible
proposition. The several telegraph
companies and the Bell Telephone
Company by combination and mo-
nopoly have exacted tolls from the
public that have almost amounted to
robbery. Their dividends have been
fabulous, and it seems that they have
about killed the goose that has been
laying the golden eggs.
It is very hard to regulate the rates
of any public utility corporation.
For instance, the government has ex-
tended the limits and increased the
size of packages that. will be- carried
to 100 pounds, all the while reducing
rates. Express companies to meet
this move have reduced their rates to
a competitive basis on packages 100
pounds or less, and have increased
their rates on packages weighing
over 100 pounds.
If the attitude ofthe National gov
eminent toward trusts, public utili-
ties, i%nterlocking corporations and
monopolies, seems to be harsh, justif-
cation of its course is not far to seek.
For fifty years trust and monopoly
have had uninterrupted sway, and
the pendulum must swing back.
Heads of corporations recognize this
fact, and when President Wilson in
a recent message made it plain that
rigid antitrust legislation wonld be
passed by Congress, or such legisla-
ton as would hold the trusts to the
plane of legitimate business, his
words were commended by nine
tenths of the daily papers, by a major
ity of the standpat Republicans in
Congress and by the heads of practi-
caily all the larger corporations of
the country.
If Congress and Mr.. Wilson will
perform as well as they have spoken,
in firmness, and yet considering we'll
business interests, they will bring
about a new era in business, and
there is no good reason why that era
may not be characterized by pros
perity.
