AMERICANS GOT
WARNING NOT TO
GO INTO MEXICO
President Wilson Stands Behind
LanSing'S Statement That Men
Entered Country al Own Risk.
WATGHFUL WAITING GOES ON
1t is Made Plain That the President
VIII Not Deyiate From the Course
Mapped Out Regarding Policy
Toward MexicO-Mlners Rough
house Consul.

NAShlNGIONs Jan. l3.-fFesl-
dent Wilson stands squarely behind
Secretary Lansing's statement that
Americans entered Mexico at their own
risk. The White House made it plain
that Wilson will not deyiate from his
watchful waiting policy. 1t was stat
ed the Santa Yzabel victims were spe-
cifically warned against entering
Mexico.
Ell PASO Jan 13,-Mexican min
ers, enraged because Consul Edwards
at Juarez, aided in getting passports
for the Santa Yzabel victims forcibly
elected him from the lobby Of a ho-
tel Edwards fled and escaped. They
followed loudly denouncing him. Min
ing companies are considering raising
a company of American volunteers to
exterminate the villa bandits, with
the permission Of Carranza.
Edwards declared the Juarez COM
mandant personally assured him safe
ty for the mining party, claiming the
Carranzistas completely dominated
the district. The consul tried to ar
que with the miners but several seiz-
ed him and threw him into the street.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.-Senatol
Lewis of Illinois came to the defense
of the administration this afternoon
in a stirring speech upholding the
policy toward Mexico. He introduced
a resolution giving the president the
same power of control over the army
and navy toward Mexico as toward
the territories of Nicaragua and Por-
to Rico.
Lewis asked congress to clothe the
president with authority to intervene
forcibly in Mexico. While Lewis de-
Tended the Administrations policy OF
watchful waiting. Representative
Slayden declared the patience of the
United States has been exhausted
and firely denounced the policy. AM
bassador Arredondo pledged action
in revenge for the assassinations and
to protect Americans in future. II
is believed Arredondo's message pre-
sents the possibility of solution of
the Mexican trouOIe. Slayden' 5
speech was greeted with uproarous
applause.

ANSWER TO AMERICAN. My
definition of American differs vastly
from the party who signed the article
American" in the Oct. 80 issue. I
would refer American" to the article
by James B. McKeon, 2912 w. Con-
gress st., in which he states the fol-
lowing in regard to an anonymous
article:
1.-THE writer would have more con-
, fidence in Daily Reader if he were
manly enough to sign his name to
his article. Like John Hancock, sign
your declaration in a bold decided
hand which even the King of Eng
land can read without spectacles-
that is true Americanism.
The article of anyone who is
ashamed to sign his or her name in
my estimation is waste of time and
space. American" states he is OPP
posed to Wilson and then says :''Look
at his campaign manager and his
private secretary-both Roman Ca
tholics. This does not seem to fit in
well with his signature. To me
American" and bigOtry are foreign
to one another. What would this
party think if he were to hear a
Catholic, say he would not support
Hughes or any other candidate be-
cause he were Protestant or because
his manager or secretary were Pro-
testant. It would be disgraceful,
Mr., Mrs. or Miss Anonymous? But
you do not see that, do you? So this

is all the fault you can find with Mr.
Wilson. Then, indeed, he must be a
great man when one has to look so
hard for a flaw and succeeds in find
ing none better than you have done
We surely should take our hats of
to Mr.. Wilson. ..g
. 1 have heard said, Some peoples
minds are so narrow their ears al
most meet" and I can realize the
meaning of the saying when read
articles where religion is brought into
politics. -..
A friend of mine formed the &C
quaintance of a party name Philip,
who was very much opposed to Cath
olics, and one day during an argu-
ment my friend (whO was a Pro- y
testant) said to him: philip, if you
knew you had to go straight to he'll
or become a Catholic, what would
you do?" and his answer was: 81
would go straight to hell" Surely
poor Philips ears must have met, but
L hope by this time he has seen the
error of his ways. We have some
fine men both Catholic and Pro-
testant today. and we should Judge
the man by his deeds, not his creed.
That is how am judging our present
president. He is not a Catholic, but
he is a wonderful man, and I don't
care what church he belongs to. Me

Mrs. Henry Gault died last Sunday
morning at her brothers in Cherokee
county, after lingering for months
with that dreaded disease, tubercu-
losis. She married Mr.. Henry Gault
the early part of this year. Her
health began failing soon after their
marriage and grew worse until she
farm on the late w. H. Gault's plan
tation on Pacolet river, but her health
failed so rapidly that he moved her
to her brothers, where she died. She
had been married twice. First to Mr..
Leslie Fowler and he died over three
years ago of the same disease. Her
maiden name was Miss Mott, daughter
of Mr.. Bird Mott of Cherokee county
for several years before her second
marriage she had lived in Spartan
burg. She was member of the Meth
odist church and held her membership
at the one day church in Spartanburg
city. She left the evidence that she
was ready to meet her God. She left
husband and brothers and sisters
and many relatives and friends to
mourn her death, who have the SYM
pathy of this community.

among us.
The friendship of the ancients
was very exacting. In modern
times we should look a long while
for such mutual regard as that OF
Damon and Pythias.
Friendship in our crowded days
covers wider area, but as in the
case of all extensive development
it has lost its intensity. Instead
Of friendships we have visiting
lists. Not those whom we love,
but those whom we would pro-
! pitiate, we invite to dinner. Those
who would propitiate us invite lis
in turn and permit us to eat their
food and air our views.
We live, alas, in the suburbs
of each others hearts.
The man without friends, or at
the least without one dependable
friend. can accomplish very little
in this world. Depending on his
own strength alone, his mightiest
endeavOrs are as nothing. At
harvest time he gathers nothing
but leaves.
But the man with friends
strong friends, true friends and
loyal friends-who have conf
dence in his integrity and ability
to do things, has great power.
When he leads they will follow
him. and all working together
unitedly bring victory. This is
the reason why some men achieve
great success with moderate abil-
tiles. while their more brilliant
competitors fall short.
This is true in every business
and profession. It does not mat
ter so much whether a man has
enemies or not as that he has true
friends who will never desert him.
To have loyal friends is worth
all else. To have friends who
can be depnded on is to gain sue
cess in life.
But there is one thing to be
borne in mind: To have true
friends you must be one. The
quality of loyalty you get depends
on the quality you give.-Abbe-
vile Progress.

According to stories told by

According to stories told by
friends of some of the subma-
rine s seamen, the latter have ex-
pressed deepest anxiety over the
possibility Of their falling victims
to the allied cruisers, reported to
be waiting oc the capes-not from
cannon, but from disabled en-
eines being caught in nets which
they believe will be stretched for
them.
Entangled in these the subma-
rine cannot escape, friend OF
the crew was quoted as having
said tonight. cher engines will
be crippled and it will be a slow
and agonizing death to all on
board. When the engines stop,
the lights will 90 out and the air
will stop. That is what the men
fear. They talk of it continually
while with me at night and they
ask every one to pray for them.

NEEDED AMENDMENTS TO
RURAL CREDITS ACT.

The new National rural credits
act, as explanation another page,
needs amendment in two import
ant respects.
% 1t ought to be amended so
that the advantage would be
given to resident farmers on
loans for productive purposes
and not to non resident any
bodies for speculative purposes.
AS it is now, bonds of joint
stock banks are given the same
tax-exemption allowed bonds of
National farm loan associations,
and these joint stock banks are
allowed to lend to anybody who
comes along and offers land as
security. That is to say, the
city capitalist wishing only to
speculate in land may borrow
money on as easy terms az the
working farmer struggling to
build q farm home. This should
be changed so 90 to give the ben
efits to real farmers either by
(a) Eliminating joint stock banks
entirely; (b) Requiring joint
stock land banks to observe the
same rules in making loans that
the farmers own National farm
loan associations are required ty
observe: (c) Providing that onlo
those bonds of joint stock bank
shall enjoy tax exemption the
proceeds of which are lent to
resident farmers.
(2) Provision should be made
for assisting farmers in organ
izing National farm loan associa-
tiOns.
The last North Carolina Leg.
islature passed an excellent
credit union act. But it would
have amounted to nothing if pro-
vision had not been made for
organizers to interested
com munities on request of . suf-
ficient num- Der of farmers. This |
il what the new rural credits act |
lack. A rather complicated
piece of machinery is provided
which farmers are not likely to
lake hold of without help. Pro
vision should be made for send
ing organizers from state to state
until the farmers become familiar
with the system.

while in the other places the bad

Were it necessary to depend on
the old methods of getting ma
chinery to Cuba, it would not be
possible now to count upon the
erection of dozen or more new
ineenios during the coming six
months; but task of almost equal
size was accomplished during
the same months in 1915, and to
the Oversee Railway must 60 a
large share of the credit. With
out these improved shipping ia

would be entirely out of the ques-

THE OVERSEE RAILROAD TO
CUBA.

Considered entirely apart from
the scenic beauties that may be
eni0ved during a trip at sunrise
over the keys from the mainland
to Florida's southernmost city, or
the engineering obstacles that
were overcome in the construc-
tjon of this line, the changes which
the Oversee Railroad has wrought
in Cuba's sugar industry make i
worthy Of note. Less than two
wears ago all Of Cuba s incoming
and outgoing freight was neces-
sarily handled by steamers. and
even now, more frequently than
not. these vessels are forced to
take on and discharge cargo I'M
der conditions far from satlsfac-
tory. With only one ferry n one
ration. the net amount Of the
products that annually pass be
tween Key West and Havana in
railway ears has reached halls
million tons.
As yet only a small fraction Of
this tonnage is outgoing sugar;
much greater proportion is mo-
lasses in tank cars, while the
largest single item on the list is
equipment for the various plan-
tatiOns.
For variety of reasons such,
for example, as insufficient ware
house space on the plantations
the change from water to rail
transportation Of the sugar itself
is bound to be a gradual one.
Tank car shipments of molasses
have already passed million
gallons during the present sea-
son. and, even considering the rise
in price Of this product in other
markets. it must be conceded that
this tank car movement has had
much to do with the change in
value at the points Of origin in
Cuba. It is evident that the
presence there of independent
bidders who would take the pro-
duct from any factory free to
offer its molasses for sale, played
an important part in bringing to
Cuba the conditions that have
recently come about here and else
where. Without the tank-car
route the independent movement
of molasses would have been be-
set with unsurmountable Difficult
ties.
Among the new factories that
were operated for the first time
this year. and among the older
places where extensive improve,
ments were made in equipment,
there stand out several whose ma
chinery was brought down in the
old-fashioned way. Standing out
with equal prominence are other
places whose equipment was
loaded on cars is the shops of its
manufacturers and taken off these
cars by the ineenio cranes. The
factories in the first class started !,
late: MANY of them with patched
up machinery. Those in the Sec
ond class started on schedule time
