this letter to be the only communi-
acton relative to petroleum sent to
the Foreign Office by the United
States.
Mexico has no desire to curtail
her expectations of oil to the Uni
ted States," the President continu-
ed, "and the campaign waged there
relative to the oil question is notn-
ing but so-called North American
bluff by enemies OF the Mexican
Government"
Asked if Mexico could exist with
out recognition Of her Government
from the United States, De la Heur
ia declared:
I'VE are still existing. Mexico has
expressed her willingness to be on
friendly terms with the world at
large and now it is up to the world
to decide whether it wants Mexico
as af riend."

INTEREST IN TWO RACES
F. F. Edmunds And Milton Leroy
Out For Sheriff

Mccormick, Sept. 9.-With only
two Offices untitled as result of
the recent primary, attention is now
centered upon the race for sheriff
in which the incumbent, F. F. Ed
munds, is being opposed by Milton
R. Leroy, of Wilmington. Sheriff
Edmunds has been in office since
the formation of this county and
has a large family connection over
the county. Mr.. Leroy is young
business man of Wilmington. He was
the first man to volunteer from
this county for the world war. AS a
private first class Company G, 2Sth
in fantry, Mr.. Leroy saw active SER
vice in the Somme district of
France and in the battle of Cantig-
ny received a severe wound when
piece of shrapnel tore his teeth and
a part of the upper jawbone away.
He remained in a hospital for five
months as result of this wound.
Since returning to his home here he
has been under constant treatment
of the government and during the
recent campaign he was unable to
make an active canvass of the
county on account of being under
treatment.
