CROSS KEYS
Left over from last week

Cross Keys, June 21.-Farmers are
having good time to cultivate their
crops. We have sunshine from five
o'clock in the morning till nearly
seven-thirty in the evening. l have
heard a few people say that the days
were just about half as long as they
should be, but so far as / am con-
cerned they are long enough; we are
hard people to please anyway. We
want things to come to pass just to
suit our notions, but this is not the
right way sometimes.
The people generally are about
through harvesting their grain, some
of it is fairly good. Threshing ma
chimes are travelling around and some
few farmers will soon have bread
made from wheat of their own, but
know few people who have a
habit of turning up their nose be-
cause the -four is not white.
Mrs. Rachel Gentry was buried last
Friday at New Hope church at Cross
Anchor. She was 92 years of age
and was able to work up to the last
days of her life. She was Miss
Ducker before she married Mr.. Edd
Jentry, and the last one of the
Ducker family.
Miss Belle Prince has returned to
Winthrop College to attend the sum-
mer school.
Miss Flossie Wilburn and Mrs. Bess
Long Wilburn will attend the sum-
mer school at Winthrop.
Mr.. c. B. Bobo had an attack of
vertigo while at Padgett's Creek
church last Saturday and fell in the
floor, but sustained no injuries, he is
able to be up this morning.
Mr. r. V. Miller of Hendersonville,
N. c.. Will deliver series of lectures
at Padgett's Creek beginning next
Monday night at $50 o'clock.

L0CKHART JUNCTION
Left over from last week

Lockhart Junction, June 21.-The
farmers are about up with their work
in this section. | would like to see
good rain-there has been good
rain going about the past week, but
it has not reached this section Gar
dens are needing rain, although there
has been an abundant crop of vegeta-
bles up to this time. This has been
fine Spring on gardens as there has
been plenty of rain, and it takes that
for vegetables.
Well, see the Stubbe land is be-
ing planted in peas and corn. Last
year there was a great deal of cotton
planted in the stubble land. If the
season continues there will be more
bread stuff made than has been in
several years, for there is more
planted.
Some one asked me why | did not
write longer letters. You see the
correspondent letters never have a
subject-just a catch up from one
thing to another There is one great
subject before the people now-that
of temperance; the struggle between
good and evil. Who knows when sin,
even that horrible sin of intemper-
ance will fasten its fangs upon some
whom we love.
lntemperance has its traps, men
often fall victims to the vice not be-
cause their hearts are weakened 10
start with, but because sin has
treacherouS ways. Intemperance be-
gins sometimes with the friendly
tippling with the father and ends in
the insanity of the son. SO let us
teach temperance to our children and
it will not be long before strong
drink will take a back seat, and we
will not be bothered with that evil
any longer
Mrs. Mary Gault of Union, is Wis
itinp relatives in this section this
week
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Lancaster
and little son of near Sulphur Springs
were visitors at the home of Mr.. A.
J. Galman, the latter part of the
week
Mr.. Charley Fowler, who moved
from this county few years ago to
Spartanburg, died there and was
brought back to this county for bu-
rial. He was buried at GiIead church
Saturday. He was well-known in
this county where he was born and
reared; he was good citizen and has
many friends to grieve over his death
Mr.. J. II. Pickens of this county,
but living at Whitestone, died at the
hospital in Spartanburg and was
buried at Whitestone Friday. Mr..
Pickens died after an operation for
appendicitis. He was in business at
Whitestone with his brother, Mr.. w.
M. Dickens. He was also postmaster
at that place. He had many friends
and relatives in this community to
mourn his death.

PRESIDENTS PARTY LOST
For Hours Wandered Through Vermont
Forests.

President Wilson and members of his
family, out for an afternoon automobile
ride, became lost in the foothills of the
Green mountains, and for nearly five
hours were riding through dense forests,
up and down steep inclines, part of the
time in a driving rain.
The president was accompanied by Mr.
and Mrs. Francis b. Sayre, Miss Mar
garet Wilson, Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones, DR.. Cary T. Grayson and several
secret service men. The chnuffemrs &C
the two cars carrying the party were
from Washington, and the president
knew the country as well as anyone with
him.
At one place Sayre leaned out and
spoke to a farmer.
"Where does this road go:" he in
quircd.
'Ivc been living here all my life. and
it never went anywhere" replied the man.
while the president tried to preserve his
gravity.

HUERTA NABBED
BY u. S. AGENTS
Conspiracy Charge Against
Former Dictator
TO LAUNCH REVOLUTION
Arrest of the Mexican Trouta Maker
Followed Nearly Three Months Of
Espionage by Agents of United
States.

The United STAGES government has
frustrated for the present an attempt
on the part of General Nictoriano
Huerta and his associates to launch from
American territory new revolutionary
movement in Mexico
Detention of the former Mexican die
tator with General Orozco and Others
at FL Paso, Tex, followed nearly three
months of espionage by government
agents. The department of justice has
instructed United States Attorney Camp
of the western district of Texas, to take
into custody these men, who, seemingly
were engaged in violations of American
neutrality laws which forbid the recruit
ing of men, purchase Of supplies there
for, and the organizing of military ex-
pedition on the soil of the United States
to be used in operations against people
with which this country is at peace.
Mr.. Camp was ordered to place before
a grand jury at Ell Paso immediately
all the evidence in his possession in or
der that indictments may be returned
against anyone guilty of an intent to
violate American neutrality laws.
While officials were reticent as to the
probable development of the case against
General Huerta, it was indicated that the
United States would retain in its Gus
tody for the present at least the men
whose overthrow of Madero and Suarez
and dictatorship in Mexico was declared
by President Wilson to be responsible
for the resulting turbulence in the south
ern republic. When General Huerta re-
turned from Spain, the American gov
crnment made no effort to deport him,
accepting his pledge that he did not in
tend to violate the laws of neutrality
Hucrta was released on $4,000 bond
and Orozco on $500.

ment Of the bonds.
Special Master Fauntleroy, in his
report, said:
upon such Il state of facts as is adj
mittedly shown by the record, can or
ought it be claimed at this late day
and under the circumstances presented
by the evidence herein, that the con-
tract of guaranty of date of Feb. |,
1913, is "a mere scrap of paper and
that the president and secretary of the
Frisco company can take away from
Houck the property in question, and
then disclaim all responsibility upon
the assertion that what they did was a
nullity?"
Fauntleroy then field that the FRS
co was required to assume the liability
on the bonds in the hands Of innocent
purchasers. If the report is approved
by Judge Sanborn the claims under
this ruling will have to be taken care
of in any reorganization plan.
