Greenville, June 24-The proposed
sale of the Hampton group Of cotton
mills by the Parker Cotton Mills
company to Lockwood, Greene &
Company for $2,555,OOO was indefi-
nitely postponed today by action of
Associate Justice Watts of the State

cision of Circuit Judge Mauldin in
which he refused to grant an injunc-
ton requested by stockholders to pre-
vent the sale. Justice Watts decision
also stops immediate bankruptcy pro-
ceedings instituted after Judge Maui
dins decision. The next meeting Of

GERMANY DENIES
MAKING TROUBLE
But Only Maintaining Ordinary Re-
latiOns, High Official Tells AS
s0ciated Press.

Berlin, June 26 (via London).-
From highly competenet source the
Associated Press today received au-
thority to deny completely tales
which have reached here from the
United States intimating that the
German legation in Mexico City is
inspiring Gen. Carranza to hostility
to the United States.
"That is an unmitigated lie,' said
an official when these reports were
colled to his attention. eve recog-
oized Carranza because the United
States asked IS to, and have no fur
tier interest in the question. Once
he was recognized it was natural that
cur representative should keep on
good terms with the head of the gov
ernment and maintain friendly rela-
Itcns with him, but that is the limit
of our activity in Mexico"

will state his position in such way
as to make further discussion nee
essary.
During any negotiation, however,
the United States will insist upon
freedom of movement of the troops
in Mexico, and any attempt to inter-
fere with them will be met by sucn
force as is necessary. This will ap-
ply too, to any period of delay oe-
casioned by attempts to arrange
mediation or arbitration.
The possibility of Latin-American
,ffers of mediation in the crisis again
was widely discussed. Ignacio Cald-
eron, minister from Bolivia, will call
Upon Secretary Lansing tomorrow to
andeavor to ascertain whether a ten
der of good offices would be enter
tained at this time.
Working on Carranza.
1t is known that powerful in
fuences have been brought to bear
on Carranza in the past few days to
make him at least turn over the
American prisoners. Prominent Mex
leans in the United States as well as
American bankers and business inter-
ests with influence in Mexican affairs
warned the first chief that to hold the
prisoners would mean war.
Secretary Baker waited at the war
department until late tonight for a
report from Gen. Funston on Gen.
Trevino's announcement that he hal
sent the cavalrymen to Juarez to be
set free. He finally went home, with
out the report.
President Wilson now expects to
fill an engagement which he almost
had decided to concel, to address the
Associated Advertising Club of the
World in convention at Philadelphia
tomorrow afternoon. He probably
will leave for Philadelphia at noon.
The last word from Special Agent
Rodgers at Mexico City, message
dated yesterday and received early
today, said he expected to be handel
the note today. He gave no intima-
ticn of what might be its contents.
Hasn't Studied Protests.
Secretary Lansing had not studied
today the trio of communications
submitted to the department within
the last "a hours by Eliseo Arredondo,
Mexican ambassador designate. They
protest against the alleged actions Of
large column of Gen. Pershings
men toward Mexican citizens, against
the arrest of other Mexicans in the
United States and against the gen.
eral embargo stopping virtually all
shipments to Mexico.

NO CHANGE In PLANS
National Guard Movements Will Con-
tinue as Outlined.

San Antonio, Texas, June 28.-Gen.
Funston received tonight report
from Brig. Gen. George Bell, Jr., at
Ell Paso which stated Gen. Bell had
been notified by Mexican consul
Garcia that the American prisoners
taken at Carrizal now are on the way
north to Juarez and probably will
arrive there tomorrow morning.
According to the report, Mr.. Garcia
had received word from Gen. Jacinto
Trevino that the American prisoners
with their arms and accoutrements
were to be delivered at once to the
American authorities. The report
was forwarded at once to Washington
by Gen. Funston.
There was no indication at army
Headquarters that Gen. Tre7ino's or
der for the liberation of the prison
ers would affect in any way the
movement of National Guardsmen
toward the border.
BY noon tomorrow the advance
guard of the troops from Eastern
States will have entered Texas. Gen.
Funston has urged the war depart
ment to expedite the transfer of re-
cruits for the regular army from
Eastern recruiting stations to the
border to fill up the ranks of the new
regiments provided by the army in
crease bill, and to strengthen the old
regiments depleted by the transfer Of
their soldiers to the new regiments.

sons peremptory demand on Gen.
Carranza for the release of the Amer

the % negroes of the Tenth cavalry
captured at Carrizal, with Lem 81.
Spillsbury, Mormon scout, had been
removed from prison and with their

of this type of school. The educa-
tional spirit of this community is
shown by their modern building, their
beautiful grounds, their large enroll
ment and fine attendance, and above
all by their local tax of eight mills.
1t is the policy of the legislature to
encourage schools of this kind. Other
communities in Newberry county
must use consolidation and local tax
alton before they can possess similar
advantages.
There are SO districts in the coun-
ty, but only "a of these have voted a
local school tax These figures snow
that % districts are not willing 70
help pay for better school facilities.
Term extension aid went to 10 dis
tricts, and high school aid to three
districts. The taxpayers and chill
dren in these progressive comnunt-
ties are benefited not only by their
own interest and their own local tax,
but also by the State aid which this
interest and this tax give them. This
inequality in the educational stand
ard of the county can be removed i
the taxpayers will cooperate with
the lawmakers and school officers.
Notable progress has been made
at Chappells, Silverstreet, Pomaria,
Hunter-DeWalt, ST. Lukes, Wheeland,
Little Mountain, Whitmire, Prosper
ity. and other localities. To stimulate
these activities, the State contribute
ed more than $4,000 in 1914-15, and
more than $1,000 in 1915-16. Seventy
per cent of the children never enter
the fifth grade. improvement can
come, as it is already coming IN
many districts, through local taxa
ton and State aid. If the new edu-
cational policy of the State in maxi
ing liberal appropriations to the
public schools is continued, Newberry
county ought to receive even greater
benefits, and to show even greater
progress than heretofore. The State
superintendent is using every energy
to present to the voters of each coun-
ty the principles of this policy, and
the results in the schools

Washington, June 2S.-An immed-
late break between the United States
and Mexico has been averted by COM
pliance with the American demand
for release of the % troopers cap
tured in the fight at Carrizal.
Whether war has been prevented
or merely postponed no one here
would attempt to say tonight. Official
information as to the attitude Of
Gen. Carranza was lacking. Until
his response to Secretary Lansings
note dispatched Sunday making two
peremptory and distinct demands IS
received there will be no decision on
whether President Wilson shall lay
the crisis before congress.
News of the release of the prison
ers receiyed early tonight in press
dispatches brought undisguised relief
TO high officials. 1t was accepted as
correct although no announcement
has come through official sources.
Crisis Less Imminent.
While it generally is conceded that
this move lessons tension and makes
the crisis less imminent, no one con-
Yersant with the grave problem is
losing sight of the fact that the all
Important question of Carranza's at
fitude towards the American expedl-
tion across the border to protect. the
territory and citizens of the United
States from bandit outrages remains
unsettled. If the de facto government
stands ON the orders to Trevino to
attack Pershing's men when they
move otherwise than towards the
border the situation actually is just
what it was before, except that there
now is a possibility of diplomatic
negotiations that did not exist while
the Americans were held prisoner at
Chihuahua.
The preparations of the United
States for war will go steadily for
ward. There will be no interruption
of the rush of National Guardsmen
to the border, and Gen. Funston will
continue disposing of his forces as
though he expected an immediate at
tack.
Indication of Change.
The fact that Carranza has COM
piled with one of the demands is &C
cepted by the more optimistic officials
here as an indication that he is striV-
ing to prevent break. Even though
lie again should attempt to throw all
blame for the Carrizal fight upon the
american officers and insist upon MS

northward movements Of American
