Simple dyspepsia is that form of In.

when the attacks come too often and

men.
The small size Of the Dexter will be
realized when the statement Is made
that famous bulls of the breed have
weighed, at maturity. about 900
pounds-with the cows scaling con-
siderably less figure. The average
adult stands about SO inches high and
is sturdily and compactly built, shows
ing great depth Of rib and general
"beefiness."
Bevo Ponies 10 Be Shown.
In addition to his Dexters, Mr..
Busch will show his world-famous
stable Of Bevo ponies. These won
derfully handsome little fellows

doubtedly the best specimens now in
America. They are all Of one size.
~ inches high, and are remarkably
alike in color and general conform
ity. Mr.. Busch states that he will
show his Bevos to harness; four-in-
hand, six hand, tandem, etc.
W. H. Stratton. secretary Of the
Fair Association, states that efforts
have been made during each Of the
past several years to induce Mr..
Busch to make these exhibits. and
that their acquisition for this gears
Fair Is Of the utmost value and inn
portance. Mr.. Stratton also states
that one Of the handsome new barns,
which are now being constructed, will
be reserved for the exclusive use Of
the Busch exhibits, and that there is
no doubt but what these exhibits will
be Of great interest TO a majority Of
the 1916 Fair visitors.
The wonderful increase in facili-
ties provided for the 1916 State Fair
Of Texas. which will be held in Dali
las October IL to 20. has been cx-
tended to include practically all de-
partments and divisions Of the Fair.
In the classes for agricultural and
livestock entries this increase has
been most marked. especially in the
poultry section, where numerous new
and interesting classifications have
been created.

vantage of an option In their policy
and replaced the barn instead Of CIV

disgust. ~"N0

agent of a life insurance company
came into the villape and, among
others, solicited the old man to effect

REPORT OF THE SCHOOLS
Made By Rev. J. M. Lawson, County
Superintendent of Education.

To the Schools of Abbeville County: !:
The Abbeville City School was $3,-
100000 in debt when / took charge in
1914. Today it has $500 cash and
owes $1,000 upon which it is paying
no interest and which is not due un-
til 1917 and 1918.
At the annual settlement for 1914
for the whole county it shows num-
bers 836 claims were ordered paid.
For 1916 the number of claims paid
was 1892, making one-fourth more
business done in two years and a
half. I doubt if there is any coun-
ty in South Carolina can make such
a showing,
This office only received $6,400.00
from the State this year, when it
was helped to the amount Of $1,000
last year.
Not receiving as much State mon
ey as we should this year, we have
been compelled to use up most of
our County Contingent fund, and
have helped the schools as follows.

Additional Reports Received of Mex

Washington, June 26.-President
Wilson and Secretary Of War Baker
had a late conference at the White
House tonight.
Secretary Baker found additional
reports from Gen. Pershing outlining
the treachery of the Carranza mill.
tary forces at Carrizal when he
reached his Office tonight. He com.
municated with the White House and
found President Wilson had gone to
the theatre, When the president re-
turned to the White House, Secre'
tary Baker was there waiting for
him.
In addition to the dispatches from
Gen. Pershing, Secretary Baker is
understood to have given the presl-
dent eleventh-hour reports from a
number of states showing militia or.
ganizations are ready to entraln at
once for the border.
In conformity with the orders IS
sued yesterday, that militia is to be
moved by separate organizations as
fast as they are mustered, reports
have been received showing it is pos
sible to move thousands of troops at
once without waiting for complete
mobilization.
It is understood Secretary Baker
conferred with the president as to
the advisability of sending these
completed units to the border at
once. Supplementary orders to the
department commanders are proba-
BILE, although staff officers said TO-
night the orders already given are
sufficient warrant for dispatch OF
militia to the border, subject to Gen.
Funston's order, without further or
ders from Washington.
