MEXICAN DAILY PAPER
PRINTS AMUSING STORY
FL democratic of Chihuahua
Says Seven American
States SeCede

Ell PASO. Tex, April IA new war
of secession by which Texas, Colorado,
Nevada, srizv.ia, New Mexico. Utah and
California will declare their independ-
ence with view to aunexing them
selves to the republic of Mexico, is the
news that Ell Democratic, daily paper
published in Chihuahua City, has just
announced. Jails are to be suppressed
and the negroes and Indians who had
been subjugated by Yankee gold are to
be liberated, IF the plot succeeds"
Copies OF El Democratic, a constitu-
tionalist organ, with this exclusive
piece of news spread over it's front
page, have just been brought to FL PasO
by Americans from Chihuahua.
The story of the conspiracy is as fol-
lows:
Jose Vergara, a resident of San Die
go, Tex, known as General Vergara,
founded the Junta of Freedom. Docu-
ments that he issued found their way
into the editorial rooms of Ell Demo-
crata, revealing a master mind. From
his office in San Diego, General Vergara
spread his propaganda, gaining wealth
and recruits, until now the North
American republic is on the point of
splitting in halves"
In describing Vegara's method of
working, FL Democratic says that YER
gara's revolutionary congress gives to
the various subchiefs not only all the
money they need for propaganda and
the pay of recruits, but. check books
on various American banks against
which they can draw at will. One of
these check books was seen and handled
by the editorial staff of FL Democratic.
1t was on bank of Ell Paso. The last
check drawn was by Vergara in favor
of himself for 500.
The chief end of this cospiracy, says
Ell Democratic, was to free Texas, Arl-
IONA and the rest of the domination of
the North American republic who are
aptly' regarded with great hatred by the
populace of those states. Once indie
pendent they would form republic and
then negotiate with Mexico, ito the end
there may thus be formed great ma
ton, powerful and strong.
There is also social reform in view
1.-The liberation of the oppressed They
are oppressed. the article says by the
"tvrannical yoke of American gold, espe-
cialIy the negroes, the native, Indians
the Mexican laboring element and in
general all other races
Yankee pride has reached its utmost
limits Not content with daily lynch
ings of men. it now dedicates. itself to
lvnching a whole people. a whole race,
2 whole continent. 1t is against this
that we should struggle"
Vergara declares as his objects the
abolition of race hatred, the division of
the land among the proletariat and the
demolishn?ent of jails and penitentiar-
les With the negroes freed other states
would be drawn into secession. The flag
of the new republic will be red, with the
words: Liberty. Equality and Indepen-
dence" inscribed in the center.

CROP INVESTIGATION
IN COUNTIES REPORTS
Georgia Chamber of Commerce
Hears of Business StabiI-
ity-WeaIth Increased -

Reports from various counties show
ing how the principles of farm diversi-
fication have been applied to bring
about increased business stability and a
marked advance in county wealth have
been received by the Georgia chamber
or commerce since the opening of the
chambers campaign for diversihcation
last week.
The campaign of the Georgia chamber
is based on plans which have been used
by the people of Coweta county and ad-
vocates a limited diversificatfon OF
crops in Georgia, to the extent of sup
plying the actual needs of the home.
From reports made since the cam
paign was started it is shown that sew
eral counties in the state have practic-
ed similar methods to those adopted by
Coweta county and that in every in
stance the result has been the addition
of from 100000 to s2,00O,OOO to the
wealth of the county.
Improved banking conditions have
been reported by NJ. P. Edwards, presi-
dent of the Bank of Dawson, as the re-
suit of diversification in Terrell county.
This bank. it was shown, has, been able
to liquidate all bills payable and to take
care of all local loans without outside
assistance.
Il.
Der said: We shipped out nine carloads
of mules in 1914 and 1915, where the
the previous year We had received thir-
ty-three carloads. The Bank of Dawson
did not borrow a cent, and on February
/, had no bills payable. | beg to ad-
wise you that while this county in 1914
imported about seventy-five carloads OF
grain. feed stuffs, etc, up to this date
ii has not imported a carload. There
are more hogs and corn in Terrell
county than ever before in its history
In the following report from Laurens
county is set out the percentage OF In
crease of 1915 over 1914 in the farm
crops in proposed diversified scale.
