Villa to be Hunted
By American Troops

Francisco Villa, outlawed Mex
lean bandit, raided United
States territory l., Thursday.
With 500 men he attacked CO.
lumbus, New Mexico, killed at
least Is Americans and fired
many buildings before he was
driven back across the interna
tional border.
Not less than $50 troopers Of
the Thirteenth United States
Cavalry followed the Villa band
into Mexico. Reports to Col. FL.
j. Slocum, commanding United
States troops at this point, late
that day stated that Villa had
made stand Is miles south Of
the border where some spirited
fighting ensued. In this engage
ment an unnamed private was
killed and Capt. George Will
liams, adjutant of the Thir-
teenth Cavalry, was wounded.
The American government
Immediately took action prepara-
tory to sending a large body Of
troops into Mexico to take Villa
lead or alive. Some apprehen-
sion was caused by Caranza's
statement that he could not per-
NIT American troops to enter
Mexican territory unless q recip-
rocal right were granted-that
is unless Mexican soldiers were
allowed to enter American terri
tory, should this become neces-
sary in the pursuit of Villa.
The United States government
entered into formal agreement
with the de facto government Of
Mexico under which American
troops will cross the border t.
hunt down Villa and his bandits,
with the expectation OF hearty
cooperation from the Corranza
forces.
Secrtary Lansing made public
the text of note accepting Gen.
Corranza's proposal for a recip--
rocal arrangement between the
two governments and announc-
ing that the United States held
this arrangement to be now in
force and binding upon both par
ties. Gen. Funston will carry
out his task under the agree.
ment.
The administration has taken
every precaution possible to pre-
vent this invasion of Mexican
territory for the punishment If
Villa from assuming the proper.
tions of an intervention.

offer for reelection. 1t is rum.
ored that he will be opposed by
Mr.. B. j. Douglass, of Chester
field; the Rev. Allan McFanlan
of Cheraw, and former Superin
tendent of Education Kirby
Rivers.
Probate Judge M. j. Hough
and State Senator Laney hold
over two more years before there
will be another election.
1t is understood that Mr.. Ems
Ingram Of Cheraw will make the
race for sheriff in opposition to
Sheriff Douglass, who will offer
for reelection. 1t is runored
that there will be several other
candidates for the position of
sheriff.
Clerk of Court l. P. Mangum
will offer for re. e.election. 1t is
not known whether or not he
will have opposition.
Auditor T. W. Eddins will
offer for reelection. 1t is un-
derstood that Mr.. J. O. Black
well of Pageland, will make the
race in opposition to Mr. Eddins.
The annual election of a
mayor and four aldermen for
the town of Chesterfield will be
held in few weeks. 1t is un-
derstood that Mayor Welsh will
not offer for reelection. All
citizens Of the town are required

gible to vote. A new registra-
tratiCn certificate is required

tration are now open in the
