EDWARDS SAYS
DIDN' 7 SAY IT
Juarez Consul Repudiates
the Interview Sent Out
From Fort Worth.

.. S. consul Edwards returned Sun
day night from Fort Smith. Ark, where
he has been on private legal business.
Consul Edwards, speaking Of the Fort
Worth interview which appeared there
Sunday morning said:
You can just say that I was never
interviewed by any he during my jour-
ney. I did not know that I was talk
ing to any newspaper men from the
time left here until I returned Mon
day. 1 talked with strangers on gen
eral conditions in Mexico but not with
anyone for publication that I knew Of
1 talked about Villa and Carranza and
the situation in general 1 never said
Carranza was 'bullheaded' or a bull
head as was quoted"
dispatch from Fort Worth Satur-
day night said consul Edwards in that
city had declared:
General villa plans to leave Mexico
and go to Cuba If he cannot go to
Cuba he will go to some other foreign
country and await the downfall of the
Carranza government"
Women in Carranza's pay" consul
Edwards was quoted as further say
ing, became so intimate with Villa
officers that he was afraid to trust
anyone
He was also quoted as saying:
The Mexican government under Car
rama will never succeed Carranza
is a 'bul-head,' and his downfall is only
a question of a short time. His re-
fusal to grant amnesty to Gen Villa
and the latter's brother, Hipolito, is
provoking considerable unfaVorable
comment, and il will be, in my judg-
ment, but a short time before he will
force upon the people of Villa terri
tory the adoption of the Carranza cur
rency. It was the attempt to pay off
Villa soldiers in Juarez with Carranza
currency, worth only a few cents on
the dollar, that resulted in the recent
deplorable riOting there This attempt
was made following the signing of an
agreement by Villas officers to sur
render the territory to CarranZa- For
some time prior to the surrender the
Villa soldiers had been receiving their
pay in Chihuahua silver though their
wages were still in arrears Villa is
broad minded and is not antagonistc
to Americans. He did not expect, how
ever. that Carranza would be recog-
nized by the Washington government |
as quickly as he was"

ARKANSAS WOMEN
 HONOR MRS. MOORE
CONSTITUTION AMENDED
MRS. JOSEPH FRAUENTHAL OF CONWAY REELECTED G. F.
 W. c. SECRETARY.

Little Rock, Oct 29.-The Arkan- sas Federation of Women's Clubs, in it's annual convention, accorded Mrs. John I. Moore, it's president, an un- usual distinction. Mrs. Moore made a most excellent president and a uni versal demand went up all over the state for her reelection. This was impossible on account of a provision of the constitution which prohibited a president from succeeding herhelf. In order to overcome the obstacle the constitution was amended and Mrs. Moore was unanimously reelected. The list of officers selected is:
 President, Mrs. John I. Moore of Helena; first vice president, Mrs. J.. E. Andrews of Harrison; second vice president, Mrs. Dougal McMillan of Arkadelphia; recording secretary, Mrs George A. Hagoboom of Hot Springs; corresponding secretary, Mrs. M. Nicely of Helena; general fed eration secretary, Mrs. Joseph Frau enthal of Conway; treasurer, Mrs. Cooper Langford of Clarksville; :; auditor, Mrs. Will Harris of For dyce.
 Bishop John B. Morris of the Cath ollie diocese of Arkansas offered the opening prayer yesterday. The heads of several departments made interest ing talks.
 Mrs. Moore, the president, talked on scholarships; Mrs. Frank Milwee of Clarksville, on rural schools, and Mrs. James P Clarke, on the scholar ship loan fund. Mrs. Perry V. Penn packer, president of the general fed eration, who is visitor, gave an eX- cellent talk on rural schools, follow ing Mrs. Milwee. She recommended and urged that the Arkansas Fedora tion do all in it's power to start a movement to provide for rural school teachers. She pointed out that many times the rural teachers find it difii- cult to get place to stay; that none of the families wanted to board them, and that they should have pleasant home such as is provided by church for its pastor.

A LONELY GRAVE.

Only a grave-a sunken grave
 Tn a land where the soldier fell; Only a life'd been given to save
 The land he'd loved so well: Only a Confederate soldier here
 Called home to meet his God, Only his body slumbers where
 His friends in battle trod. Only a grave alone and unkept,
 Where a single daisy grows; Only a widow and orphan wept
 For a victim of his foes: On'y a life-'twas all he could give
 In defense of his country's laws; Only hope that he might live
 To further his sacred cause. Only a mark for his foes,
 He fought for the love of his own Only one of the noblest heroes
 The world has ever known Only a private in the battle
 Without any title of rank, Only a cannon's fierce rattle,
 And the earth his life-blood drank. Only an order was given
 To charge the enemy's right, Only a soul entered heaven
 On the pas>1g breeze that night; Only a lone Confederate brave,
 Left where the invaders trod; Only southern martyrs grave
 Kept green by the hand of God. Will A. Berry.
