The state departments latest dis
patch from the City Of Mexico Tues
day is summarized in this statement:
"The City Of Mexico is quiet, but
there is much uncertainty as to what
turn affairs may take. It has been
widely published in the City of Me1i-

4 large force. On the other hand
there are reports that he will not

gisional president took with him

ordered the inside door closed, which
checked the disorder, and Gov. Man
ming proceeded with his remarks.
The tone of the inaugural and the
keynote of constructive legislation,
which the new governor struck, met
with the warm approval Of the peo-
pie. who listened closely at every
word and outburst OF applause would
force Gov. Manning. to suspend for
several minutes Especially did his
recommendation for compulsory edu-
cation with local option feature, in
crease Of child labor age limit to II
years. Working Mems Compensation
Act. land registration, tax commits
sion, meet with hearty responses.
When Gov. Manning paid tribute to
the last Democratic state convention
and the good work they did in order
ing personal enrolment of voters
tremendous cheers burst out. His
recommendation for liberal support
of the National Guard, which, he said,
must be made effective and efficient,
drew more cheers. His declaration
that he intended to enforce the laws
started what was little less than an
ovation and his appeal to the people
and the legislators to help him in his
task of getting away from factional-
ism and bitterness drew further ap-
plause.
Just as Gov. Manning was con-
Guiding his inaugural address the sun
broke through the clouds and lit up
the hall of the House and shone with
| full vigor on the man who will hold
the reigns Of government for the next
two years in South Carolina, adding
natures smile to the rejoicing of a
people at the installation of Richard

ginning for his administration.
Another ovation was given Gov.
Manning when he concluded.

ENGLAND REFUSES.
Saws the Dacia Has Not Her Consent
to Make First Trip.

Says the Dacia Has Not Her Consent
to Make First Trip.
The British government will not
consent to allow the steamer Dacia,
recently transferred from German to
American registry, to proceed to Rot
terdam under safe conduct with her
cargo Of cotton, the state department
was notified Tuesday from London.
The British reply to suggestions for
a safe conduct recently made by the
state department, came through the
American embassy. While the text
of the message was withheld, it was
known the British objection was bas-
ed broadly on reluctance to create
precedent which probably would be
followed by similar purchase in Amer
lea of German ships and efforts to
operate them in the former German
trade routes.
London dispatch says the case OF
the Dacia has produced marked i'm
preston in England. 1t is generally
discussed in the streets and the feel
ing voiced against the position of the
United States concerning the Dacia is
much more bitter than that aroused
by the American protest against de-
lays to shipping, as the case of the
Dacia is far better understood than
the generalities of the note.

Use Wilt-ResiStant Seed.

Somebody estimates that the South
loses about ten million dollars an
nually as the result Of the ravages OF
cotton wilt and root-knot. South
Carolina bears large part of this
loss. It is not difficult, however. to
protect ones cotton crop from wilt.
The use of wilt-resistant varieties Of
cotton is the course urged by the
botany division of Clemson college
and this division is cooperating with
a number of farmers in the state who
are producing carefully grown seed
Of these resistant varieties to sell to
farmers who need it. The botany
division of Clemson college will be
glad to answer questions about wilt
and root-knot.

STRIKERS SHOT DOWN.
Hold up Railroad Train and Battle
Ensues When Guards Arrive.

Fourteen men were shot, four Of
them being mortally wounded, in a
pitched battle Tuesday between 250
striking laborers and so deputy sher-
ifs at the plant of the American
Agricultural Chemical company at
Roosevelt, n. J.
The fight occurred when the strik-
ers stopped Central railroad of New
Jersey train from Elizabethport to
see # the train brought strike-break-
ers to the plant. There were no
strike-breakers aboard; but few Of
fcer employees who were passengers
started an outcry, apparently believ-
ing that the strikers intended harm
to them.
In answer to the call, fifty armed
deputies ran to the scene from the
company's plant and a general en-
counter between them and the strik-
ers followed.
at first only stones were used,
Then some one fired shot. That
was the signal for fusillade, which
apparently came from both sides.
None of the deputies were injured,
but many Of the strikers were struck.
The strikers dispersed, carrying away
their wounded.

HELD UP BY BRITISH.
Ambassador Gerard Recounts State
ment by American Captain.

Ambassador Gerard cabled the state
department Tuesday the substance Of
a statement made to him by Captain
Farley of the American steamer
Greenbrier, which arrived at Bremen
a few days ago with cotton from New
Orleans, after a series of detentions
Notwithstanding assurances by Great
Britain that shipments Of cotton in
American vessels would not be mo-
lested
Officials did not disclose the details
Of Captain Farley's statement, but it
is said he charged that after examin-
ing the Greenbrier's papers, a British
prize crew ordered the Ameican flag
hauled down and conveyed the ship
into Kirkwall, a British port.
Captain Farley refused to naigate
the ship while the British flag vas at
her mast, and claimed thet, through
incompetent navigation by the Brit
ish, three booms were swept away.
He was ordered to take the ship to
Leith from Kirkwall. He did so after
raising the American flag and later
was able to proceed to Germany, af-
ter delay of three days.

REPORT ON FOREIGN TRADE.
United States Suffers Slight Failing
Off for 1914.

Only slight decreases in foreign
trade transactions of the United
States are shown for the year 1914,
despite decentralization in the early
stage of the war. That the falling off
in total was not greater is attributed
largely to increased exports to meet
Europe's extraordinary demand for
foodstuffs and other supplies since
merchant fleets have resumed opera
tions.
A summary Of trade movements in
1914, issued by the department of
commerce Tuesday night, showed
that exports were s2,114,257,539, as
compared with $2,4S4,01S,292 in
1918, and imports s1,7S9,022,426,
against S1,792,596.4SG in 1913.
The department also announced
that during the month of December
last a favorable trade balance of
s131, ,S63,077 was achieved by the
United States. Exports in December
totalled s246,266,047, and imports
s114,4O2,970, against s194,711,170
and s13S,0S0,520, respectively, in
November.

HEARS NO COMPLAINTS.
officials Wonder Whether Great Brit
ain Has Changed Policy.

Since the dispatch of President
Wilson's note to Great Britain pro-
testing against British treatment Of
neutral commerce the state depart
ment has received comparatively lit
tie information about detentions Of
American cargoes or ships.
Officials said Tuesday they did not
know whether there had been a
change in the policy of the British
feet or whether American ship-own-
ers were Withholding their complaints
on the theory that negotiations on the
general subject soon would result in
a definite statement Of England's po-
sition. The hope was expressed that
the latter was. not the case. for the
departments chief source Of informa-
ton as to detentions has been the YES

FEEL ANOTHER SHOCK
SUNDAY QUAKE BRINGS TERROR
TO ITALIANS.
Hunger and Cold, With Ripped Roads
and Broken Down Bridges, Prevent
Relief to Isolated Places.

A renewal of seismic disturbances
early Sunday added to the terror of
residents of parts of the district visit
ed by the disastrous earthquake last
Wednesday.
Although Sundays shocks were
light, buildings which had been crack
ed and were tottering from the effects
of the first disturbance were COM
pietely razed. In Avezzano and Sora,
which had suffered most in Wednes-
days disaster, the people left the
temporary shelters in which they are
living and took refuge in open places.
Rain and extremely cold weather
in some parts of the district are ham,
pering rescue work. In many Of the
towns thrown, down by the earth
quake it is feared there still are liv-
| ing persons beneath the debris and
that unless they are extricated soon
they will perish.
Last reports increase the aggre-
gate of casualties and the extent OF
| the damage done Wednesday. In the
department Of the Abruzzl alone it is
estimated that 10000 persons met
death.
The government has appropriated
s1,O0G,000 for relief work and King
| Victor Emmanuel has donated $780,
| 900 for aid of children abandoned by
their parents or made orphans by the
disaster. Relief supplies are pouring
into the stricken districts, and 1t Is
believed that shortly there will be
sufficient food supplies everywhere
Trainloads of timber also are being
dispatched to the destroyed towns fol
the erection of huts.
The Messagero, after a careful.
computation, announces that the
number of dead ald injured in the
Abruzzi alone is $4,000, without IN
cluding the Sora district. San Atolic
has 200 dead and 500 injured; Mori'
no, 1900 dead; Ca.nistro, 500 injur'
ed; Cervard, 800 victims; Borjo, 81
dead, and Valleroveto, 1900. Al
Civitella Roveto almost the entire
population escaped because they were
working in the fields when the shock
occurred.

FOUR NEGROES LYNCHED
VICTIMS Had SEVERELY BEATEN
CHEF OF POLICE.
Father, Son and Two Daughters Are
Hanged by Masked Men Who Over.

About 9 o'clock Thursday night a
mob, composed of about one hundred
unidentified persons, stormed Jasper
county Jail at Monticello, Ga, over
powered Sheriff Ezell, took the Jail
keys from him and taking four negro
prisoners man, his two daughters
and one sol-to pine tree half a
mile distant from town, lynched them
one at time by hanging and riddEng
each body with bullets.
The victims Of the mob-Dan Bar
ber, his son, Jesse Barber, and his
two daughters ,Eula and Ella-were
arrested Wednesday night after they
had roughly handled Chief Of Police
J. P. Williams, Of Monticello.
The chief of police went to Bar
ber's home to raid & blind tiger,
which he had been informed was
operated there by Barber, who was
notorious character. The chief was
alone. He found Barber, his son, his
two daughters and five other negro
men there carousing. The negroes
pretended to submit to arrest, but
few minutes later, when they caught
Williams off his guard, the members
of Barber's family assaulted him.
Dan Barber struck his pistol from
his pocket, held his own piotol il the
face Of the chief his z6-year-old son
and two daughters beat the officer
about the face and body with their
fists and sticks.
Dan Barber notified the chief that
after they finished beating him they
would kill him, and it is said he fred
one or two shots past the officers
head.
A Passing negro heard the shots
and not knowing what was happen
ing, rushed to the sheriff with the
news that shooting affair was in
progress at Barber's home. Sheriff
Ezell hurried there alone. When he
walked into the door the negro Bar
Der and his son and two daughters
were still beating the chief. Sheriff
EZell, with pistol in Rand, rounded
up the gang and held them until he
could send for some deputies
Feeling ran high because Of the
outrageous treatment accorded the
chief by the negroes, who were noto-
rious for their lawlessness, and this
feeling eliminated in the lynching
Thursday night.
Sheriff Ezell, Deputy D. C. Thom-
linson and one or two other persons
were in the sheriff's Office at the Jail
Thursday night about o'clock when
! the door was opened and a large body
Of masked men pushed in. Two or
three Of them grabbed the sheriff
while others went through hts pock-
cts and took the jail keys. Other
members of the mob held Deputy
Thomlinson and the other persons In
the sheriff's Office at bay with drawn
pistols.
While the officers were being de-
tanned by one part Of the mob the
other part went through the Jail and
took Barber, his son and daughters
out Of their cells. The five other ne
groes arrested at Barber's home, but
who took no lart in the assault on
jChief Williams, were not taken out.
| Barber's daughters were hanged
| first. The son came third and Bar
Der last. His body was left hanging,
the three other bodies being piled
Just beneath his feet.
