MIR. COOPER ENTERS
RACE FOR GOVERNOR
Makes Announcement After Confer
ence. With Friends.

Greenwood. March Special:
To the Charleston News & Courier:
The Hon. Robert A. Cooper, of Lau-
rens, announced here tonight that
he would be candidate for gov
ernor in the Democratic primary this
summer. Mr.. Cooper's announce
ment was made after a conference
with friends from many sections OF
the state, who had come to Green
wood for the purpose of considering
his duty in the coming campaign.
Mr.. Cooper has been here all che
week attending court as solicitor of
this circuit, and Greenwood is easily
accessible, hence it's selection as a
meeting place for his friends.
In making the announcement Mr..
Cooper stated that his platform
would be given in due time. Those
close to Mr.. Cooper say that he makes
the announcement now so that his
position will be known. He has been
urged, II Is claimed, by men in all
sections of the state for the past
six months to offer as a candidate
for governor this summer. Although
missing the nomination for govern
or two years ago by q very close
margin, around two hundred votes.
Il was not Mr.. Cooper's intention to
thrust himself into the political sit
uation in South Carolina this year.
He at first declined all suggestions
to this effect, but it Is said that the
requests for him to offer as a can
didate have become so frequent and
so insistant that he feels 1t q duty
to yield to the judgment OF his
friends in this matter. 1t is stated
that he has never sought public office
on anything other than his own mer.
il and does not intend to deyiaIe
from this principle now.

NOTICEABLE PROGRESS
IN GATHERING TROOPS

Along Border Getting Ready for
Man Hunt

El Paso, March 12.-Sunday pass
ed without movement of any Ameri-
can punitive expedition into Mexico.
On both sides of the border, however.
American and Carranza armies made
noticeable progress toward concen-
trating their forces for the hunt for
Francisco Villa in northern Chihua-
hua. The plight of 500 Mormons,
colonists at Casas Grandes, who fear
an attack by Villa, was reported bet
ter tonight.
John Churchill of Ell Paso, who ar
rived in Juarez to-day from Chihua-
hua City, said that while he and five
other Americans were waiting for
their train in chihuahua a Mexican
threatened him, saying that all six
Americans would be hanged before
they reached the border. The Amer
leans made the trip in safety.
The horse races in Juarez had a
larger crowd of Americans than usual
to-day, apparently attracted by some
purse races. MeXicans for the most
part remained silent about the Amer
lean eXpeditionary force. Some ex,
pressed the hope that Caranza sol
diers would catch Villa before United
States troops entered Mexico
Activity of the Caranza soldiers
about some bitches back of the race
track attracted attention of Ameri
cans 1t was said that the soldiers
were cleaning up rubbish.
Reports that peril to the Mormons
has decreased came from Gen. Ga
briel Gavira, JuareZ commander. He
felt that the American colonists were
perfectly safe under the protection o.
the troops of Col. Samuel Gonzales
Gavira said he had not received an,
instructions from Gen. Caranza.

There was still uncertainty in tn
Juarez headquarters as to which Cor

miles from the railway station name
Corralitos. Possession of this sta
tion would give villa control OF tn
