Union County Has Four Posi-
bic Congressman

Monroe, March 12.-The com
ing congressional primary is
running a close race with the
Mexican situation as the chief
topic of discussion in the Spi,
and Argy Club, which is hold
ing meetings throughout the day
and part of the night. Monroe
people are at loss to understand
Mr.. Pages action. If Mr.. Page
could have taken AN accurate
poll of the district, he would
have found a great many right
with him on the matter of warn
ing Americans. Even r. f.
Beasley, who bitterly opposed
the Congressman at the last prl-
mary, made the following State
ment on his resignation:
"Candor compels me to say
that | admire Mr.. Pages deter
mination to vote his convictions
in the late tumult in Congress-"
While the other counties in
the district are rushing out their
favorite sons, old Union is lay
ing low. 1t is the consensus of
opinion, however, that one of
Unions sons must have that
Congressman's job, and she'll
have her candidate out IN due
time. While Mr.. BeasIey is be-
ing urged to run, both by Union
County citizens and others, he
has not yet made any announce.
ment as to his course. r. B.
Redwine IS also mentioned for
the job, and so is Frank Arm
field. Some people are of the
opinion that if Attorney John G..
Skies would come out for the
nomination he could get in in a
walk.
Unless Union puts out one of
her favorite sons, it is thought
that practically the entire vote
will revert to Lee Robinson out
of a HeiaghberlY attitude -toWaa&su

Americans Must Stay out Un-
less They Grant Him A
Similar Right

Mexico City, March l2.-Gen-
eral Carranza tonight issued a
manifesto to the Nation declar-
ing that under no circumstances
would the Mexican Govern
ment grant the right to the Uni
ted States TO violate Mexican
territory by sending in an armed
force in pursuit of Villa without
consent and the reciprocal privi-
lege being first obtained and ad-
mitted. Word was sent to the
confidential agent of the Mexi.
car Government in Washington
to make immediate representa-
tions to this effect.
General Carranza says in his
manifesto:
Il am sure that l interpret in
this matter the National senti-
ment and that the Mexican peo-
pie will comply in a dignified
manner with their duty be the
sacrifices what they may, to sus-
tain their rights and sovereignty
If, unfortunately, this drags us in
to a war-a war which the Uni
ted States can never Justify.
We will not be responsible for
the disastrous consequences.
Upon the heads of the traitorous
Mexicans who within and with
out this country have labored to
produce this result, will fall the
inexorable justice of the people. "

Stevenson for Rural Credits

Mr.. Stevenson, in his race for
congress, advocates a rural cred
II system. In the South, three.
fourths of the people are farm
ers. The great banking law put
through by this administration
made some provision for farmers
but none for the man who has to
buy his land and needs long
credit on it. Six months is the
longest credit he can get under
that law. There should have
been land credit system en-
braced in it whereby man
could get a long credit and low
rate of interest on real estate
and enable him TO buy, or re.
deem a home. Why was it not
passed with the balance of the
bill?

with their lives. Col. w. w.
Walkup's large residence in
Jackson township burned that
day. Miles and miles of fencing
was destroyed, and at that time
the fields were fenced and the
farmers had to cut timber, split
rails and build fences before
crops were planted. A dwelling

Griggs Writes About Mica Mine

Griggs Writes About Mica Mine
Plumtree, N. C.,-March. g..
Doubtless some of my friends
will be pleased to read an &C
count of some of the things I
observed on my outing today.
l left the Dormitory here
about half past one o'clock, ac-
companied by number of the
faculty, to visit the. "old English
Mine" 1t is located only one and
a half miles from here up the
mountain side, but while the dis
tance is not so great still one
would think it quite a distance
on account of the mountain be-
ing so steep.
Upon reaching the entrance
we went to the manager, who
was exceedingly kind to US, by
allowing us to go through this
magnificent piece of work of
man. 1t extends about 1000
feet back under ground, there
being about a dozen different
tunnels almost all of which pro-
duce Mica, it being the leading
Mica mine known anywhere.
While there are hundreds of
mines even in the western part
of NC. still this one produces
about thirteenth of the mica
produced in the world.
The mine is through solid
rock from the very entrance, and
is conceded to be the safest mine
anywhere, and an accident has
not happened in this mine in
more than decade. The pres
ent owners have worked it con-
tinually tor more than ten years
and in all ii has been producing
for thlrty-five years or more.
The output being an average of
one hundred pounds a day, val
ued at twenty cents a pound; of
course this is a very conservative
pate of its production and
alhe price, as good grades of
Mica sell for from four to seven
dollars per pound when it is
finished and prepared for market.
Now one would think that the
company realizes good profits,
but the mining right of all this
section was bought several years
ago by some northern capitalists,
and booty of one-eighth goes
to these men.
Now a word more in regard
to my thrilling experience, as
you know under ground life, and
work is quite rare to one from
grand old South Carolina, espe-
cially one such as l, but expect
that there might be others, per
haps readers of the Journal, who
might feel as | did under ground
some 1000 ft-pecular. But de-
spite this | enjoyed the trip to
the fullest.

Villa Leads Bandit Host Against
United States

Villa Leads Bandit Host Against
United States
Columbus, N. NJ, March O.
Francisco Villa, outlawed Mexi-
can bandit, raided United States
territory today. With 500 men
he attacked Columbus, killed at
least 16 americans and fired
many buildings before he was
driven back across the inter
national border. Not less than
ESQ troopers of the Thirteenth
United States cavalry followed
the Villa band into Mexico. Re-
ports late today to Col. oiv.:n,
commanding American troops
here, stated that Villa had made
a stand IS miles sounth of the
border, where spirited fighting
was in progress. In this en-
gagement private was killed
and Capt. George Williams, ad-
jutant of the Thirteenth cavalry,
was wounded.
The small detachme ut of troop
ers under Maj. Frank Tompkins
and Capt. Elmer Lindsey, fight
ing dismounted, made a deter
mined stand against the renewed
Villa attack, and at last reports
were holding their ground.
The raid on American terri.
tory proved costly to the bandit
chieftain. The bodies of 1S
bandits, including Pablo Lopez,
second in command, had been
gathered and burned before noon
and troopers reported an unde-
termined number of dead still ly-
ing in the brush. Led to the at
tack under the slogan, Death

lowers fought with desperation.
Just before dawn they crept
along bitches skirting the United

Grand Jury Report.

Following is the report of the
Grand Jury submitted to the
presiding judge at the term of
criminal court held at Chester
field last week:
To His Honor S. w. G. Shipp,
Presiding Judge:
The Grand Jury having passed
on all bills and other matters
submitted to it by the Court, beg
to make the following report:
We recomend that the proper
authorities take what steps they
deem best for the care of the
family of Jim Teal, who is in
the asylum and whose family is
in destitute condition.
We have had the books of the
county officers examined and
have had report made up. How
ever, this audit is not complete
from an accounting standpoint
on account of executions in the
Sherlff's hands that have not
been proven valid assets.
The reasons for passing the
above executions for the credit
of the treasurer in this condition
are: First, he states that a check
against his receipts would not
show the facts, on account of
the receipts being issued and not
paid. he having kept no record
of these unpaid receipts or mark
ed the duplicates Cancelled. Sec
ond, as there has no cash book
been kept, and the duplicate re-
ceipts being carbon copied and
badly blurred from handling
would make checking extreme
ly difficult, if possible. conse-
quently they were ordered pass
ed, to be proven by the sheriff's
efforts to collect, and this audit
to be resumed and concluded at
that time.
We recommend that the sheriff
with any necessary assistance.
proceed at once to collect these
executions and report the same
at the next term of court.
We further recommend that
each officer handling funds of
the county or trust funds as
county officials, keep such books
as will enable them to make
trial balance each month and
that trial balance be taken off
monthly.
We also recommend: That
each officer receiving fees and
commissions open an account in
books, of fees and commissions
reserved, and keep true and
accurate account of same. This
is necessary as the law requires
it. and specifies that should this
amount exceed three thousand
dollars the amount over three
thousand dollars goes to the
county, a repor: of the same TO
be made to the Supervisor. I'm
der these conditions we do not
think it proper for officials to re-
bale their fees and instruct that
they do not do so.
We also recommend as next
improvements that vaults be
built for the treasurer and audi
tor, also for the sheriff and Sill
pervisor. which will necessitate
the building of two vaults. We
also recommend that toilets be
put in, as the sewerage has al
ready been completed.
We recommend that the ac-
countant be paid the six hundred
dollars due him to date, seven
