II. Sullivan, Secretary.
In order to moro fully explain the
meeting the following communication
has been addressed to the Sunday
School workers Of the county by Dr..
d. J. Brimm, Of Clinton, district prcsi-
dent Of the associations:
The Sunday School people Of Lau-
rcns county arc planning for big re-
vival in Sunday School work in our
county. During the war, when every
body was busy with war activities,
Sunday school work was allowed to
slip back into old ruts and get into
the background somewhat. AS an out
come OF the war conditions have aris-
eli which makefit imperative in the
minds Of all Sunday school workers
that strenuous efforts be made to have
the Sunday school press forward as
q powerful and much-ncedod moral
agency. Other counties in the state
have become wide awake and are
forging ahead. Laurcns county has
been rather tardy and torpid.
rousing county convention is to be
held at Hurricane church near Clin-
ton, on Wednesday, August Is, begin
ming at 10 a. NJ. and consuming the
entire day, with a basket dinner for
entertainment OF all delegates. 1t is
planned to have every Sunday school
Of every denomination in the county
represented. This is intcr-d -dcnomina-
tional and workers will meet together
and compare notes and help one an
other to better things. 1t is hoped
that every active Sunday school work
CT will see to it that his Sunday school
is represented by the superintendent
and several active workers. No mat
ter how good the dcnominatonal work
may be, each can help by passing ON
good ideas even if he does not get
any valuable ideas for himself, but
most likely he will get ideas that will
be helpful in his own school. Hc will
hear state workers OF wide and rich
experience. Each must cooperate to
make this truly victory county con
vcntion and show that old Laurcns
has as much pep in her as any county
in South Carolina

Arms Must Not be Taken to Mexico.
Sharp Warning Comes.
Washington, July 26.-Ouistanding
, Developments today in the Mexican
situation can be summarized as fol-
! lows:
"Redoubling Of efforts by the gov
ernmcnt to prevent smuggling Of
arms across the border and a warning
by the president to citizens that viola
/ tons OF the anti-smuggling law would
be vigorously prosecuted.
AN address in the house of repre-
scntativcs by Representative Huds-
pcth, Democrat, Texas, urging with
drawal Of the recognition Of the Car
ranza government and military occu-
patton of Mexico by American forces
until a stable government has been
established.
'"The dispatch Of messages to men,
bcrS Of the Mexican senate and house
by Henry p. Fletcher, the American
| cooperation towards securing more
efficient and adequate protection for
American lives in tho Southern re-
public
Receipt of adviccs by the state de-
partment that Philip Thompson, II
year old son Of an American citizen,
had been kidnapped by bandits from
his fathers ranch 80 miles from Mex
leo City and was being held for 800
pesos ransom.
Reports Of a new outbreak Of anti
American propaganda by Mexican
newspapers, especially those rccog-
nizcd as Carranza organs in Mexico
City, officials believe the Kidnapping
of young Thompson is q direct result
Of the inflammation OF public opinion
by this propaganda.
Issuing of the statement by the
Mexican embassy declaring that Mex
| leo today has stable government, al
though bandits arc at large in some
| districts and reminding tho American
people that ii was several years after
the War Between the Sections before
order was fully restored throughout
the South.
The time has arrived" declared
Mr.. IIudspeth, when this government
should say TO Carranza: You have not
fulfilled your obligations in the pro-
lection Of American lives, so we with
draw recognition Of you and will put
troops in Mexico to protect American
lives until order is restored there" "
After reading tho resolution recent
ly adopted by the Texas senate which
asked the federal government either
to use troops or permit the State to
act, Mr.. lIudspcth added: But that
is not raccssary"
THAT flag" he said, pointing to the
Stars and Stripes hanging over the

This remark as also his declara-
ton for military intervention, was ap-
| plaudcd by tho members. In urging
military intervention Mr.. Hudspcth
declared he was mot lingo" and that
he only asked for the protection Of

sclf-explanatory, was as follows:

WOULD REDUCE H. C. L.

The President wrote that it was
deemed wise to have American represent
atiyeS on various European boundary
commissions, because it would add "a
useful element of entirely disinterested
Judgment" Replying to another ques-
ton. he said his belief that ratification
of the treaty would reduce the cost of
living was based on the assumption that
ratification would have the effect 'of
restoring production and commerce to
their normal strength and freedom"
In deciding to hear additional witnesses
the foreign relations committee over
ruled a protest from democratic men,
bers who are said to have taken the
general position that it was imperative
to proceed at once to act on the treaty.
The case of the Egyptians is to be pre-
scented Saturday by their counsel, Joseph
w. Fells, and the others probably will
be heard next Wednesday. The decision
to hear the case of the Irish was in the
response to a request from the friends
OF Irish freedom, whose representative
to appear before the committee will be
made known later.
Later the committee finished its ques-
tioning of DR.. ]. c. Ferguson, adviser TO
the President, of China. regarding shan
tung. and tomorrow Prof f. T, VIII
liarns, formerly head of the eastern divi-
sion of the state department Will be

can peace delegates at Versailles. but re-
signed it was reported, because he was

ment.

OF ganized by a Cuban named Leon Os-

have been fiasco.
The meeting called for tonight was to
have been held a few hours after the
Mexican foreign office issued a statement

test to the United States against the in
vasion of Mexican territory" by the
