INDICT SULLIVAN
WHO SHOT CANNON
Grand Jury At Lamens Charges
Young Farmer With Law
yer's Murder

Laurens, June 15.-Joseph g. Sulh-
van, young farmer of this section,
was indicted by the grand jury here to-
day charged with the murder OF John
M. Cannon, a Laurens attorney and
prominent South Carolina democrat.
The killing occurred at Gray Court,
on May 12. Cannon had been engaged
in the prosecution Of Sullivan's
brother for alleged disorderly conduct
in the vicinity Of county school.
While he was awaiting the verdict In
the case, SULLIVAN Is said to have ap-
preached and upbraided him for the
manner in which he had conducted
the prosecution.
It is expected that Cannon resented
Sullivan's remarks and attacked him
with a cane The shooting followed,
Cannon being instantly killed.
It is the claim Of the prosecution
that two of the four bullets which
caused Cannon's death struck him In
the back as he was trying to escape.

AS to some of the particular charg-
es which friends of the governor are
said to be preparing to bring against
him notably the charge that while he
has been advising the farmers to hold
to their cotton, he has been dealing
in futures on the New York exchange,
the senator became rather warm,
brought his fist down with force, and
with a laugh of derision, said that he
was not worrying at all about that,
because he could prove such as this
manufactured lies.
! It has been noisod about for some
time that Governor Blease is going to
charge the senator with having voted
to confirm a negro Judge in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and as to this Sena-.
tor smith said that he not only did not
do it, but that he had evidence to prove
that he made one of the most convinc-
and came near preventing 1t by chang
ing speeches against this confirmation
ing minds of several of the repubH-
cans, to confirm this he said one has
only to write to Senators J. K. Yarda-
man, Lee s. Overman and J. W. Kern.
AS it was done in secret session It,
therefore, might be hard to get out in
as, much as it does not appear In the.
Congressional Record.
'The charges that am to face Will
be many and tedious, no doubt" de-
clared the senator, @but I am going to
meet them In good time. Meanwhile
I am not giving out any interviews ex-
cept on my record, and.I am not going
to, till the lines are drawn. But then"
and the fire Of battle cleaned In his
eyes, "I am going to be on the JOB with
the goods"
Senator Smith will be in Columbia
tomorrow and will 60 to st. Matthews
Wednesday. - "

Washington, June 15.-President
Wilson came out today with flat dec
laration that, despite what he charac-
terized as deliberate campaign by
certain interests to secure adjourn
ments of congress and postponement
uf the administrations trust program,
he would use every influence at his
command to get the pending his
through the senate at this session.
Choosing his words carefully, the
president disclosed his belief that or
ganized distribution of circular letters
and kilograms among business men,
members of congress and other public
Officials, calling for an adjournment of
congress, a halt in the trust bills, an
increase in freight rates for the rail-
roads, and a "rest for business" was
responsible for what he recently de-
scribed as a psychological! depres-
sjon."
In support Of that vitV the white
house made public copies Of letters
and kilograms brought in by friends Of
the administration. One letter was
circulated by the Simmons Hardware
Company, of st. Louis. under date of
June 9. Just prior to that date, Pres
ident Wilson had offered to E. G. Sim
mons, president Of that company, a
place on the Federal reserve board.
Today, just before the president eX-
pressed his views on the trust pro-
gram, it was announced that Mr.. Sim
mons had declined the appointment
and that Charles S. Hamlin of Boston,
would be nominated in his stead.
White House officials emphatically
denied that the Simmons letter had
anything to do with the declinatioI
of the appointment. 1t was said, how
ever, that the president did not know
of the letter when he offered Mr..
Simmons the place.
The presidents declaration and the
publication of the letters created a
mild sensation, approaching that which
followed the presidents denunciation
of the "insiduous lobby" which he
said, was threatening the tariff bill
last year. Senators and representa-
tives discussed the situation, but no
action was taken.
One of the letters made public pur-
ported to have been sent out by the
Pictorial Review Company, of New
York, and was signed by W. P. Ahnelt,
president under date Of May l. 1t ac-
companied a prepared letter protest
ing an adjournment of congress, with
the further suggestion that the recipi-
ent mail copies to the president, mem
bers of congress, the Interstate Com
merce Commission and other officials
in Washington.
The letter, signed by Ahnelt, says
that prosperity has been lost some
where in this country, owing to the
mischievous activities of the politi-
cians," and that the draft of an en-
closed letter embraces the views of a
majority of the thinking business peo-
pie Of our section"
In part, the form letter for trans
nilsson to public officials, was as fol-
lows:
"We ask in the name of the suffering
American people, in the name of COM
mon sense, why wantonly harass bus
mess at this juncture when it is strug-
Cling for its very existence.
'Why throw more thousand of men
idle, when so many families are already
starving?
why subject business to any eX
perimental legislation, now, when it is

CARRANzA HAS
NAMED COUNCIL
FORWARDS NOTE SAYING
THAT HIS MEN ARE
COMING
ANSWER is MADE
Rebel Chieftain Advised That He
Has Not Fully Considered
Required Armisice
ANSWER is MADE

Niagara Falls, Ont, June 15.-The
three South American mediators ad-
vised General Carranza by telegraph
tonight that they would not admit his
representatives to the conference here
unless as armistice was declared and
internal as well as International phases
of the Mexican problem accepted as
the scope of mediation.
This action followed the receipt OF
a note from Rafael Zuburan, special
representative of Carranza in Wash
ington, announcing the appointment
| of constitutionalist delegates to the
mediation conference, at which &C.
cording to the view of the constitution
alist chief, ut is sought to settle the
international conflict which as arisen
between the United States and Mexi-
CO." r.-.
The mediators told General Carran-
"a they feared he had not duly con-
sidered" their communications re-
questing an armistice and that his
representatives should discuss the en-
tire Mexican problem
Their notification was sent to Cen
eral Carranza at Saltillo shortly after
the American and Huerta delegates
had been in conference for two hours
discussing candidates for provisianl
president.
The note from Zubara to the media
tors and their reply were made public
tonight. The first dated June H., says
in part, referring to the mediators'
note dated June 2:
Having accepted in principles as
far back as April 20, last, your good
offices and as you are now awaiting
the appointment Of commissioners, I
have the honor to inform you that I
appoint on my part as representative
of the first constitutionalist army un-
| der my command, Fernando Iglesias
Calderon, Luis Cabrera and Jose Vas
concelos to attend as my delegates the
conference you are now holding and
at which it is sought to settle the in
ternational conflict which has arisen
between the United States and the
Mexican republic.
"I would thank you to have the
kindness to reply to this note in order
that in proper case I may give in
structions to my representatives so
that they may proceed to that city
for the discharge of their mission duly
authorized by me-"
The reply of the mediators sent by
telegraph today follows:
"We have had the honor this day OF
receiving the communication which
you addressed us, and we hasten to
advise you Of our fear that you have
not duly considered the final para
graphs of our note Of the second in
.tant. -.
eve greet you with highest consid-
Grafton"
During the conference inquiry was
made as to whether Charles A. Towne,
was representing the Huerta govern
ment in Washington. The Huerta
delegates replied that they knew
nothing about his activities.
The discussion Of personnel will
continue until all names have been
exhausted Minister Naon, Of Argen-
tina, left tonight for Yale and Harvard
where he will receive honorary de-
grees.
1t is becoming apparent daily that
the two sets of delegates are far
apart. That a deadlock on names is
bringing on crisis in the negotia-
tions is admitted here.

PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT.
Sleep and Exercise.

A moderate amount of daily
physical exercise is most essen
tial to health. Exercise stimu-
lates various organs. especially
those of digestion. In regard to
amount Of exercise required
that must be determined by the
individual, but never exercise to
the firing point, except when 1t
is taken to reduce flesh.
According to a well known
physician of Boston, the leasts
cultured and the least developed
adults need the most sleep. and
the higher the intellectual de-
velopment the more prone one is
to dreams. The healthy child of
two years passes half Its time
in slumber. The adult requires
from seven to eight hours Of
sleep daily, aged persons not
more than FIVE or six hours.
Women need, as a rule, more
! sleep than men. There are per-
sons to whom nine or even ten
; or twelve hours of sleep are es-
. sential. while others seldom sleep
more than six out Of the twenty
. four. Too much sleep Is posi-
BILE. Sleep undisturbed is what
we all desire.

Force of Lightning.

Lightning flashes usually occur
within thunder clouds, says Stein
metz, the mathematician, and only
rarely come from the clouds to the
ground. They seem to follow the
rapid condensation Of vapor in the
air. 1t requires nearly $4,000 volts
Of electricity to break down one
inch of air space or 100000 volts
per foot. Even if the clouds are
only 1000 feet above the ground it
will take more than 100000, 900
volts to break down the air resist
ance ahead of the thunderbolt. 1t
is this enormous voltage or cleo
trical pressure which makes the
lightning flash so destructive.
