HIGH SCHOOL BATTALION PLEAS.
ES CROWD ON SCHOOL
GREEN.
Mescsrs. Ralph Flowers, Henry Spann
and Eugene Purdy Selected to
Drill for Manual Medal at Com.
menccment TOnight-Band PLAYS
Well.

The Sumter high school battalion of
boys yesterday afternoon executed
their annual dress parade and review
on the school green in the presence
of a small, but very enthusiastic aud
ience Of spectators. The Sumter Band
was revived and reorganized for the
occasion and played with its old time
vim.
The parade was to have been held
at the baseball park, but Liberty
street was so torn up by the WORK
being done on it that at the last min
ute 1t was found necessary to change
and have the parade on the school
green. This necessitated a delay and
as it was raining up to a few min
utes before the time set for the pa
rade, the crowd of spectators was
rot nearly SO large as usually attends
this very pretty and important func-
ton OF the high school battalion.
Those present were enthusiastic,
however. and literally applauded the
battalion and the band, as the mill
tary formations were executed and
the battalion formed. The battalion
then passed in review before the COM
mandant. Major s. A. Wods. The
members of the battalion were Dress
ed in their uniforms of white caps.
blue coats and white trousers.
At the close of the military cere-
mony, the thirteen cadets who had
been picked out of the battalion at a
preliminary drill were placed in a
squad and drilled by officers of the
battalion until the number in the
squad was gradually reduced by elim-
ination to three men. These three
men were Eugene Purdy. Ralph
Flowers. Henry Spann. who will have
the honor Of drilling on the stage
commencement tonight, until only
pne man Is left, who will receive the
medal as the best drilled man in the
battalion in the manual Of arms. The
drill was hard one and the Judges.
officers Of the local militia orgariza-
ton, had difficult task in selecting
the three best drilled men.

cARRANlA MAKES DEMAND,
INFORMS UNITED STATES THAT
AMERICAN TROOPS MUST BE
WITHDRAWN.
Note Criticises American Policy and
Asserts That Bandit Raids Resulted
From Failure to Protect Border
Says That Presence of Troops in
Mexico Cause Suspicion of American
Motives.

Washington, May 31.-The Car
rama note demanding the withdrawal
Of American troops from Mexico has
been delivered to the State depart
ment by Ambassador ,Arredondo, it is
officially stated at the Mexican en-
bassq. Mr.. Arrendondo says that
Carranza demands an explanation for
the Americans staying in Mexico and
says the failure to recall them cre-
ates suspicion.
IF the United States governments
assurances of friendship for the Mex
lean people are sincere. the American
troops will be withdrawn at once.
The attitude Of this government and
the course 1t is now pursuing leaves
room for suspicion as to its real in
tentions."
Both governments are obliged to
patrol the border, but troops should
remain in their respective territory
One glaring fault of the present sys-
tenn was leaving Glenn Springs un-
protected.
The note says the raid was possible
because American troops failed to pro-
tect the American border.
The note was sent to President Will
son Immediately at the White House
Later Mr.. Arredondo admitted that
the note was brought by Manuel
Mendez, though this was denied al
first. Carranza says he fears an in
vasion as long as American troops
stay in Mexico.

With the coming Of the great mu-
sical treat last night in the person of
Madam Julia Claussen the Redpath
ChautauQua series Of entertainments
came to a close. after seven days Of
pleasure for those who attended. The
Chautauqua this year has had several
high class and very Instructive and in
teresting attractions. although the
number Of attractions was not as nu-
merous as last year. and some of them
were not as pleasing as were some of
those last year and the year before.
There are some of those who attend
ed' who did not think the Chautauqua
as q whole came up to what It was In
former years. but oil who purchased
tickets no doubt got the full value of
their money out Of the number and
class Of the attractions which were
good and everybody will welcome
Chautauqua here another year, as it
was welcomed this year and last year
and the year before. 1t is an insti-
tuition which has become fixed in
sumter and which the people will al
ways want.
Mr.. H. c. Dunbar In his closing re-
marks last night stated that this was
the banner Chautauqua town which
mad been visited thus far this year by
the Redpath Chautauqua. 1t was the
banner town both in attendance and
interest displayed and the evident ef-
fort on the part of tho people of the
town to make 1t a success both for
themselves and the visitors.
