The Charleston mayoralty campaign
which has been on for several weeks,
is about as hot as usual, and then
some The race as heretofore Is be-
tween the Hyde and Grace factions.
This year the Grace faction has con-
troll of the election machinery and In
Charleston that is generally very
considerable advantage. Neither side
has any confidnce in the other. Each
side thinks the other side is capable
of any unfairness-any excess-and
for that reason-each side Is on the
lookout to take any advantage against
the other side. Grace who Is editor of
the Charleston American, Is using that
paper as his organ. Both the News
and Courier and the Charleston Post
are supporting Mr.. Hyde and the Hyde
party is publishing In both papers a
newspaper improvised for the occas-
ion called the Charleston Patriot. The
Charleston. Patriot abounds with
charges of Grace's alleged disloyal con-
duct during the war, and in support
of the charges Is citing the efforts
that were made by Postmaster Cen
eral Burleson to keep the Charleston
American out Of the mails. Grace Is
charsing unbridled corruption against
Hyde and his associates, alleging that In
one case Hyde for his own advantage
had solemnly sworn that land which
was really worth only $4,000, was
worth S79S,00o. In last Tuesdays
American Grace reviews at length
Burleson's efforts to keep the Ameri-
can out of the mails. He set forth that
the whole thing was a conspiracy on
the part Of Richard !. Manning.
Congressman Whaley. Mayor Hyde, the
News and Courier and others. He
says the people resorted to secret
perjury, and tells how they were de-
feated. He defies anybody to quote a
single published utterance in all his
career that can be construed as dis
loyal to America He insists how
ever that the war was unnecessary;
that President Wilson played double;
that Wilson was elected on the claim
that he had kept the country out Of
the war and all during that campaign
he had in his heart the idea of getting
the country into war just so soon as
he should have the power to do so.

The Federal Trade commission says
that the "big five" packers, Swift, Ar

have complete control of the live stock
market and there is no hope Of releas-

Having accumulated surplus stores
into many millions Of pounds
of beef, pork and the like, the packers
are able to hold or the market until
the cattle raisers are glad to sell at
reduced prices. Competition is check
ed off by underselling new concerns
in their own markets. The big five is
making prices as effectually as II they
owned the entire supply.

thing to attempt and a magnificent
achievement. l have much admiration
and respect for the men who attempted
the great feat in face of such odds. 1t

material, but, above all, stanch deter

Builder of Aer0pIaraes

"The Vickers Vimy biplane is an

fly upside down. There is no question
about its being out of true flying po-
sition in the fog at various times
throughout the voyage. but not upside

This opinion was expressed yester-

leading airplane manufacturers of this
country. He advanced 1t while discuss
ing the first nonstop Aight across the
Atlantic Ocean made by Captain Alcock
in the Vickers machine.
"Only such machines as the Spad,
which are not inherently stable, could
fly in that position, without the pilot
being aware Of it," he said. Captain
Alcock undoubtedly found himself in
peculiar positions while flying through
the fog, but if his machine turned over
it would not have stayed in that po-
sition very long"

According to a dispatch received
from General Cabell this morning,
transmitting a report on June Is, by
General Erwin, the latter actually or
dered the American advance. The dis
patch follows:
"Ten p. m. Since my telegram to
you. No. 1947, at Del Rio. following
developments have occurred:
about 4:30 p. m. Villistas again
attacked Juarez from the south and
east and succeeded in entering the
town. They were driven out by Car
ranzistas under command Of Esco-
bar, who was wounded and who was
brought to this side Of the line and
is now in the base hospital. Since
then intermittent firing has been
going on between Villistas and Car
ranzistas. At this hour, 10 o'clock,
the Villistas are reported to be prac-
tically in possession of Juarez.
"Upon affidavits of three responsible
citizens of Ell Paso that Villistas had
fired into Ell Paso; upon the investi-
cation of the wounding of a Mexican
girl made by the district inspector,
showing she had been wounded by
shot fired by Villistas; upon investi-
cation by the district inspector of
two officers of the police department
of Ell Paso, showing that shots un-
doubtedly coming from Villistas had
been fired into Ell Paso; because of
the wounding of several innocent
persons residing in FL Paso and of
two American soldiers performing
their duty on June ID and Is, under
authority given me in your telegram
dated June ~, 1919, 1 p. M, this
date, ordered troops of my command
to cross the border and disperse
Villistas, but on no account to under
take an invasion into Mexico. Troops
of my command are now crossing the
border to carry out this order. AS
soon as l have accomplished this and,
the safety of the citizens of Ell Paso
is assured troops will be withdrawn
to this side of the border.

Baker Issues Statement
Before making this dispatch public
Secretary Baker issued the following
statement:
"There is no possibility Of mis-
understanding between the Republic
of Mexico and the United States with
regard to the protection of life on
the American side. In many in
stances previously it has been nee
essary for the American forces very
briefly to cross the border to dis
perse bandit forces. The sole pur-
pose of the American soldier is to
protect life on the American side"

Live Stock Imports Resumed.

Recently 1913 sheep, Ill cows and
heifers, 6 horses, mnd l Berkshire boar
pig arrived in New York from England
on the steamship Michigan, according
to the United States department of
agriculture. Included in the shipment
were 20 yearling lambs Of Hampshire,
Cotswold, and Suffolk breeding, while
the cows were mostly Guernseys and
Jerseys, all Of the animals being pure
breds purchased for use as foundation
stock and in improving the herds of
United States breeders. This shipment
of live stock is one of the first which
has reached this county from the Brit
ish Isles since the outbreak of the
war and marks the resumption of live
stock trade between the two countries
which was abruptly curtailed by the
activities of the U-boats.
