MEXICO NEAR TOP
AS OIL PRODUCER

Washington, Sept 12.-Mexico prom
ises to become the oil reservoir of the
western hemisphere the department
Of commerce declard today in a review
Of the petroleum industry in the south
ern republic. Increased consumption
in the United States is likely to ex-
haust producing fields in this country
within 25 years, the statement said.
Exhaustion of 40 per cent of the
producing fields Of the United States,
the departments review stated, has
caused Mexico to take second place
in oil production although only about
~ per cent Of the potential capacity
of Mexican wells is being actually
produced.
Oil experts from Mexico during the
first six months OF 1920 totalled co.
600 900 barrels, an increase Of 70 per
cent over the previous year.
Development of the Mexican oil
fields, however, is only in its infancy,
the review states. adding that Of the
% $50 square miles Of territory be-
levcd TO contain oil deposits, not more
than 500 square miles are being cx-
plotted Curtailment Of production is
ascribcd by the department. to lack of
transportation and storage facilities
an dto the unsettled political condi-
tions.
OF the $35O,000.O00 estimated to be
invested in the Mexican oil industry
including s50,00O,o0 in tankcrs, about
20 per cent represents American capi-
:al the review says. About q per
cont is British and Dutch capital and
8 per cent Mexican and other interests.

4 Tribute to Service.

AT tits last meeting the Fourth I'm
n OF the Laurens Baptist Association
armed that its secretary, Brother w.
Culbertson, Of Cross Hill, could no
niger serve in this capacity because
5 work will soon carry him outside
G Union. And ii wishes through its
'mmittee to express the appreciation
feels Of the service Brother 'Culber-
n has rendered through many years.
e became secretary of the Fourth
Mon in January, 1904, nearly seven
EN- years ago. He has made the pro-
ans since that time and been one of
moving spirits in all the work un-
srtaken by the Union. Such state
ent of faithfulneSs in service is one
{ the best charactcriZations of a man
at can be given. Possibly the high
It tribute ever paid to one of our
ost prominent men was that he felt
e "clation of duty" To such spirit

e Union wishes to pay this tribute.

WHITE SAYS COX
CHARGES PROVED

Chairman of Democratic Committee
Accused Senator Edge OF Changing
from Il Judge to an Advocate Of
Evidence.
New York, Sept. 11.-Senator Wal
ter e. Edge, of New Jersey, has
abandoned the thin pretense of be-
ing judge of evidence and has be-
come an advocate" declared George
White, chairman of the Democratic
committee here today in commenting
on Senator Edges attitude as q mem-
ber of the Senate committee investi-
eating campaign funds.
ut is not surprising that in this
role he has SO readily cleared his
party of the charge Of huge cam
paign fund" his statement continued.
This is not only in line with the
attitude of many of Mr.. Edges par
ty in the Senate constituting the
Oligarchy Of which Governor Cox has
spoken but it is typical also of the
party which White was head, a Sen
ator from Michigan whose vote was
necessary to control the Senate.
81 think the people have fully
made up their minds about the mer-
its of the slush fund charges and
proof Of them. Even Mr. Hays at
PHILADELPHIA yesterday, took off the
mask Of the thousand dollars con-
tributionS' and on the insulting pre-
mise that the Democratic party pro-
poses to surrender the independence
Of the United States, he paved the
way for the great contributions IRON!

Governor Cox has every reason to
congratulate himself and the Amer
lean people upon the successful out
come of the hearings at Chicago. the

being not the least conclusive cvi-
dcncc of this success
With this established as basis
of the Republican campaign we shall
go ahead presenting our great is
sues on the League of Nations and
