In Society
Mrs. B. F. Holland Addressed
Woman's Missionary Society


Of the First Methodist Church
The program meeting of the
Woman's Missionary Society of the
First Methodist church yesterday
afternoon was one of unusual inter-
est. The meeting was in charge of
Mrs. ]. Edgar Wilson. The wealth
er was favorable and the attendance
good.
The members were especially
gratified by the presence of some
devoted members of some of the
other churches in the city.
After the devotions, led by Mrs.
A. H. Darracott. a brief talk on
"Cubans in America" by Miss Sar-
ah Polk, was given, followed by a
beautiful and touching solo. "Geth-
semane." by Mrs. L. C. Hull, ac-
companied by Mrs. G. P. Webb.
The address by Mrs. B. F. Hol-
land of Barlow, State corresponding
secretary of the Woman's work, was
forceful and impressive. After CIV
ing clear general idea of the
woman's work and responsibility in
the missionary fields, she especially
stressed the importance of all the
women of the church doing their
part in supporting those who are at
the front, and also the need of each
member of the society using her in
fluence to win others to join in the
work of this important department
of the church. Altogether it was
meeting which we hope will prove
of lasting benefit.

SAND ASPHALT

I have read several articles in the
Lakeland TELEGRAM on sand asphalt
pavement, written by Mr.. Hol-
worthy, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce Mr.. Holworthy's efforts
in this direction and his anxiety to
get some kind of pavement laid re-
minds me of the story of the old
maids last chance.
The old maid and her father were
riding along the road (not sand as
phalt in buggy mot an auto)
when she told her father the kind
of man she was going to marry.
! He said, 81 am very much surprised
to hear you are going to marry such
a trifiing fellow after all the good
chances you have had. | don't un-
derstand it. The old maid said,
Father, you go through that branch
and cut me the straightest switch
you can find You must not turn
back but go straight through. ="
When the father came back, he
brought very crooked switch and
his daughter said, is that the
straightest switch YOU could find?"
The father said, mo, I saw a good
many straighter and better than
this one, but I had gotten through
to the outer edge and this was my
last chance.
. The kind of pavement that is be-
Ing proposed of asphalt and local
sand is better than sawdust and salt
but will cost great deal more.
The City Council of Lake City
was induced to pass an ordinance to
pave several streets with sand as
phalt with the understanding it
would not cost over 75c per square
yard. When bids were received
May 81, 1915, on the proposed paw
ing. there was only one bid on sand
asphalt and that was Sill per
square yard.
An article in the Florida Times
Union reads in part as follows
While the Engineering Record
always prefers to encourage rather
than to throw cold water upon at
tempts to solve roads or any other
engineering problem, it is felt that
a word of warning should be ut
tered in regard to the sand asphalt
: construction in Florida.
THE work at Eustis was not laid
on compacted sand base, as de-
scribed by the writer of the article
in question, but on clay base, and
We are informed that the sand as
phalt surface is kept constantly COW
cred with an inch OF sand to pro-
tect it.
THE work at Dade City is COM
piete failure. This. however, may
be explained by the fact that the
sand asphalt mixture was mixed by
hand on boards. At Tarpon Springs
the grass Is growing through the
sand asphalt pavement At Saraso-
ia the pavement of this description
is showing. The sand asphalt pave
ment at Mt. Dora was laid in April
and its short life hardly permits of
any inference as to what it will do.

who held an equal rank with him in
the Constitutionalist army, because
the latter refused to accept his unau-
thorized dictation and withdrew Gen
eral Hill from Sonora in order that
Governor Maytorena, Villas ally,
might control the situation and array
that State against Carranza's author
ity, that In frenzy of anger he at
tempted to kill Obregon. Fortunately
being restrained from this by subor-
dinate officers, he Mechanically placed
Obregon under arrest. These events
time that the Mexico City convention
was to assemble.
When Carranza was informed Of
Villas unwarranted persecution of
Obregon, he ordered the train service
north Of the City of Aguascalientes,
some distance south of where Obre-
gon was held by Villa, discontinued
temporarily from Mexico City, until he
could determine whether or not Villa
intended his treatment of Obregon to
presage q hostile military movement
against Carranza.
Villas lnsoIence.
Villa sent telegram to Carranza
asking him to explain what he termed
this hostile action against his division
Of the North. Carranza sent him the
following reply: Before answering
your message which l have just re-
ceived desire an explanation Of your
conduct towards General Obregon in
Chihuahua" Instead Of Villa giving
the requested explanation to his SUI
perior officer he replied insalently that
he would no longer recognize Carran-
"a the First Chief of the Republic.
In explanation of this traitorous con-
duct Villa gave the ridiculous and pet
ty reason that he had broken with Car
rama and was willing to plunge the
country into civil war, because Car
rama did not have sufficient intelli-
gence or ability to govern Mexico. How
farcical this statement really was can
be best understood when it is ex-
planned that villa can scarcely read
or write and has never read single
book in his life, whilst on the other
hand Carranza is a man of education,
culture and business experience.

called to meet in Mexico City opened
it's sessions on the appointed dav. - =

villa, ever since his first break with
Carranza, had been throwing obstacles
in the way of q successful pacification
Of the country. In order to show him
that he harbored no Ill feelings Car
rama named Villa to 60 with General
Obregon on peace mission to settle
local strife In the State of Sonora.

tons became SO incensed at Oregon.

deavor to persuade Villa to send rep.
resentatives to the convention. After
wards 1t usurped sovereign powers
that 1t did not possess and which
Carranza never sanctioned. But Car
rama, putting aside the considerations
and rising nobly to the demands of the
situation, expressed to the conven-
ton In writing his willingness not
only to resign as First Chief in charge
Of the executive power of the nation,
but to become an exile from his coun.
try If the delegates ask this of him.
The single condition that he stated
must govern this abdication was that
villa should resign his command of

North and II the convention SO de-
creed, must also leave Mexico.
Story Of Convention.
The convention on November 9Th
passed Q resolution calling for the re.
tirement of both Carranza and villa.
Antonio I. Villareal, Chairman of the
convention, thus describes subsequent
events:
AFTER the absurd selection of Gen.
eral Gutierrez as Provisional Presi.

stoned to serve notice on the First
Chief that he was to resign. Villa
had already agreed, so his representa-
tives stated, to tender his resignation.
We would have shortly secured Car
ranza's retirement had not General
Gutierrez, bullied into action by pres.
sure brought upon him by Villa, sum-
moned the latter to Aguascalientes
and placed him in command of all the
military forces in the country.
This act violated the previous reso-
luton of the convention and was con-
trary to its own mandates, or in other
words, contrary to the desires of what
was left of it, as 1t must be remem.
bered that out of the 155 registered
delegates many had withdrawn for one
reason or another until at last there
were only 60 members left and IS out
of this so had been recalled by their
signatories. A quorum in the conven.
ton necessitated 70 delegates.
"A brief resume of the situation at
this critical time might be stated as
fellows; We said to Carranza: Retire
or we will fight you, your retirement
being made with the understanding
that v; will be forced TO withdraw
We said to General Gutierrez and to
