AT THE POINT OF BREAKING.
Tension In Mexican Affairs Now
Seems In Critical Stage.

Washington, June l9.-The uues.
! tion OF war with Mexico hinges upou
| Gen. Carranza's reception of a stern
! refusal to heed his demands for re-
call Of Gen. Pershing's troops, in the
] opinion of President Wilson's close
advisers. They were prepared to.
| night for the possibility Of open hos
tilitles after the note (Which will be
| sent forward tomorrow has reach
eli CarranHa'S hands.
No indication has come that the
first chiefs attitude Of implacable
hostility would be shaken by the re-
iteratcd declaration Of the latest
communication that the United
States has no aggressive or war-like
purpose toward Mexico, but Is firmly
resolved to protect her borders and
end brigandage near the internation-
al line.
The reply to Carranza's note de-
manding recall OF the American cx-
petition was in the hands of the gov
crnment printer tonight preparatory
to its delivery and publication to-
morrow. Secretary Lansing had in
tended to forward it to-day, but at
the last moment minor changes and
additions to the 6,000-word docu-
ment necesstated delay. Although it
had been planned to send it by spe-
cial messenger to Mexico City, the
situation has changed, and it Droba-
bly, will be handed to Elisco Are
dondO. Mexican ambassador desig-
nate.
GuarlSmcn MObiliZing.
While the diplomatic steps were in
progress to-day the nation was STIR
ring with the movement of national
guardsmen mobiizing to guard the
border. at least 100000, and poSsi-
bly, far larger number, were pre-
pairing for active service under Pres
ident Wilson's call. For the present
their mission will be purely one of
defense; but should war come, they
will be ready. No marching orders
for the new forces had gone out to-
night. They will not be assigned for
border duty until mustered into the
Federal service.
Even when mobilization is COM
plcted, only such units will be order
ed south as Gen. Funston desires to
hll the gaps in his 1,S00-mile guard
line. The remainder will rest on
their arms at the State mobilization
camps for the present awaiting
events.
Flaming Against Americans.
Oiiicial reports from many quar-
terS show that a flame of popular
FEELING against the United States is
being kindled throughout Mexico.
Apparently it is with the sanction Of
Gen. Carranza, for in many cases the
acts are those Of his author zcd
agents.
From Juarez to the west coast OF
MeXico posters have appeared calling
the people to arms and asserting that
the United States is preparing to hurl
its armies into Mexico. Chaotic con-
ditions prevail everywhere, it is
said. Clashes such as that between
Mexican troops and American blue
jackets at MaZatlan yesterday, show
that relations are strained to the
breaking point. The act of a subor-
dinate commander anywhere may
bring OH fighting that will result in
war.
So far as officials here are aware
Gen. Carranza is taking no strong
measures to curb his soldiers and
people. Upon this fact many Of them
found their belief that he is deter
mined to force matters to an issue
unless the American troops are with
drawn.

NPlIGN MEETING FRIDAY.

Jhr State campaign meeting for
Oconcc will bc held at Walhalia next
j'riday, June 23d. This is an 0ppor-
tunity given by the State Democratic
party to the Democratic voters that
they may see and hear all OF the
candidates for Office. 1t is Il chance
servants. Unfortunately there have
ut times been communities that have
seemed to misConStruc tho object Of
these meetings. which have been
turned into boistcrous demonstra-
tiOns for some certain candidates, or
riOtouS howlingS against some one or
t@n men. We arc glad to say that no
such occurrence has ever taken place
in OcOnce, and we are not going to
insult the voters OF our county by
admonishing against any such prac-
tice this year. Such admonitiOn
would be totally superlluous In good
old common sense Oconce. Our hope
is that at no point in South Carolina
will there be cause to regret the
coming Of the candidates for the pur-
pose OF meeting the people of the
State
II You are interested and you Ger
tainly should be intoreSted---in the
InaIrer OF selecting public servants
come to Walhalla. il you reasonably
can, aud see and hear the candidates
next Friday. We hope that the meet
inG will he totally lacking in any an
pheasant incident. If there should
he such, let it come from the candi-
dates themselves. and let us Judge
them by their words and acts
At all events, remember that Fr!-
day OF this week will offer you the
opportunity Of meeting the candi-
dates and hearing them speak Of what
they have accomplished in Office or
hope to accomplish If honored by the
voters OF the State.
'rhe campaign meetings this year
for this section OF the State have been
set for earlier dates than Is usual
1t is a busy season for Oconee farm
"rS and many are .behind with their
Uork, We do not believe that neg

advantageous exchange for any one
To make for the benefits that may
accrue from attending the campaign
meeting. II your business is in such
%hanH as to permit OF your leaving it
SCR the day, come to Walhalla and
hear what the candidates will have to
say, Ii business demands your at
tcntlDn at the time OF the campaign
meeting, stick to your business. That
IS what We would do, and thai is what
everybody else. we think. ought to
elo 1t isn't SO much whcthc we see
;e0d hear the candidates at the cam
pniEn meetings. We can study men
and measures all during the year and
know sufficient at election time to
vote intclliScntly. If we will but fol-
low our conscientious Judgment Of
F'iS", tIit NobS we Will
come mighty near voting right, even
eA"nGh We may never have seen or
h@aih them. In this day of publicity
there is little need OF personal con-
tao, to bring men into an almost init
mate acquaintance with each other.
And especially Is this true Of men in
public life. either actively or pros
pcrt,Tcly.
MAkc an effort to come to Wal
ha'la Friday If YOU can reasonably
spare the time. but don't neglect
your farm or other business affairs
30 DO so. At least that is the way we
feel about it. and we think il is the
common sense view to take.
