New County Proposed.

There was quite a large crowd,
representing the different sections
of the proposed new county of jack
son, at the meeting at Old Johnson
vile June 21, and the business look
ing towards the formation of said
county was carried out in a harmon
ious manner. Prof R N Speigner

[ngraham secretary, after which the
meeting was opened and the trans
action of business entered into.
The committees reported that the
proposed territory contained suffi-

would be a part of the best farming
lands of South Carolina. Its people
are kind, prosperous and law-abid-
ing and believe in progressing.
Now, a word to our people in the
territory: We can appreciate our dis
advantage of being shut off from

Million Dollar Plant
In Flames; Villistas|
Loot u. S. Property

Ell PASo, April s.-Anti-American
sentiment Is spreading In Mexico among
those formerly Identified with Pancho
villa. according to latest confirmed ad-
Vices TO the border.
Confirmation was received today that
the Arrieta brothers in Durango have
burned the big lumber plant OF the
Compania Dadera. In that state, valued
at N.000000. Sheer desire to destroy
appears to have been the only reason
for its burning.
Tho bandits raided the place where
the plant is located and deliberately
applied the torch, shouting Down with
the gringoes." Hiram Smith. president
o. the company owning the plant was
advised today of It's destruction, fol-
lowing rumors received on the border

In their retreat south from the Ameri-

Carranza garrlsoned town near Jiminez
last week. and killed Colonel Flores,
the commander. and looted the place.
The Villistas appealed TO the Carranzn
garrison to Join them. asserting that all
Mexicans should unite to keep the
Americans from overrunning ID cap
turing their country.
Torreon May Yield.
Telegrams from ,Torreon assert that
a peace commission is meeting near
there today with Gen. Juan Banderas
and his band OF Villistas to discuss
terms of surrender TO Carranza.
Banderas offered to surrender dur
