crowd % this city, that day being one
Of the very few sunshfny days seen in
these parts since the first of December.
Almost without exception visitors here
on that day complained Of the worst
roads they haye seen in this country in
two or three years. This il exceedingly
disagreeabIe news. for there can be no
doubt that Chairman Shelton and the
other members Of his road committee
have been diligent in their duty and
done their best. We believe this to be
fact, any way. Road work seems to
have been put Of too late In the fall
instead Of being done in the spring and
summer as the contracts require. This
condition seems to have been pretty
general, and where contractors worked
their roads in spring and summer they
are. said to belgood and firm now.
Prof. W. R. Seay of Brsden was In
somerville few days last week solicit
ing funds to pay corn club boys prizes
for the year just ended. There is no
more worthy cause than this. The
corn clubs haye worked wonders in corn
growing in this and other counties In
the state. Its a fund that should be
subscribed to most literally and there
can be no doubt of his getting what
funds are needed for the purpose. Less
than SIS was offered the corn club boys
in the county for the year, while some
nearby counties offered several times
that amount. 1t is cause we cannot
afford to be stingy with. It has done
much good already and there is much
yet for these clubs to do and they are
going right ahead doing it, with the
excellent help and advice that Prof.
Seay is giving them. We want to see
double as many boys in the clubs IS
are at present and the prizes offered
doubled to meet the increase.
In another column Of this issue is the
announcement of the Rhea Drug Com
pany which has succeeded Rhea e.
Morris in the ownership and manage
ment of the. business that firm has con-
Quoted here for two years past. H. M.
Rhea who recently resigned a position
in the department of pure foods and
drugs at Washington is the activehead
of the new firm and will devote his en-
tire time to the business, looking after
every detail of the management and
filling prescriptions. Mr.. Rhea is a
graduate Of Vanderbilt school of phar-
macy and taught in that institution
after his graduation. According to
those in charge Of that school there 10
no better qualified prescriptionist in
the state. He was reared in this city
and has already proven himself one of
its best and most substantial young
men. The Falcon is glad to have Mr..
Rhea return here and identify himself
in a permanent way with the business
interests Of Somerville.

The Business Mems Club Of Memphis
has launched movemene to build q
big cotton mill and IL they succeed II
will probably lead to the erection OF
other mills in that city and In other
towns Of this district One mill usually
leads to others. In North Carolina, for
instance, there are S4l cotton mills. all
of them are the out growth of few
initial mills that were established. in
the principal towns Of the state few
years ago. From the earnings of these
initial factories. other mills were built
and the whole Piedmont Region of the
state is now dotted over with cotton
manufactures and cotton manufsctur-
Ing towns.
These mills consume thousands of
bales more cotton every year than are
raised In the state Of North Carolina:
and the state gets probably three times
- much money from its cotton In manu-
featured form as II would in the raw
state. This ought to be the case In ell
parts Of the south, especially in this
district which Is the greatest cotton
growing section in the world.

The War in Mexico
Latest Developments Among Our Revolutions
ary Neighbors of the South.

Washington officials hoped a new
iron man" would arise. An alliance
between Villa and Obregon, in control
of the biggest fighting forces, was
considered not improbable.
1t was generally agreed, however.
that the situation was most serious.
With the president determined to use
drastic means to restore order, al1evi-
ate famine and establish real govern
ment in Mexico, officials owned the
outlook was pregnant with the grav-
est possibilities.
It was from Consul Canada. at Vera
Cruz. that the state department re
ceived word of a split in Carrenza's
cabinet, four of the most influential
ministers having resigned. They were:
Foreign Minister Uerta, Minister of
the Interior Zubaran, formerly Car
ranza's trusted lieutenant at Washing
ton; Minister Of Justice Verdugo, and
Minister of Finance Cabrera
Canada reported that following &C.
ceptance of their designations Car
rama hurriedly removed to the island
fortress. Fear Of his own faction was
believed to have prompted this step.
Officials believed tonight that the
outcome depended on Generals Villa
and Obregon. If they unite, it was
thought peace might be secured with
out American action. Otherwise few
observers of recent Mexican history
could see how the United States can
avoid taking hand to shape Mex
ico's destiny
