to be one of "the disquieting features"
of the present situation. He asserted

was about s11 1,OOO,OOO,0OO, while mon

was recalled that the government

Labor Leaders Arrive.

Washington, May 1S.-Luis Ma
rones, labor leader of Mexico and
known there as "the Gompers of Mex
ico," came here today as special COM
missioner of the defacto government.
Recent reports to the State Depart
ment, announcing plans for his visit,
suggested the possibility of his ap-
pointment later as the chef diplo-
matte representative to the United
States.
Dressed as railway brakeman, Ma
rones accompanied Alvaro Obregon
from Mexico City when the latter was
threatened with Imprisonment.
Further information that the defac-
to government was settling more firm
ly into power was contained in a sum-
mary of news in the Mexico City press
sent by the American embassy to the
State Department. today. The State
governments of Yukatan and Cam
pache have announced their support
of the new government, and Villa, it
was announced, was proceeding to the
capital without military escourt."
Obregon in Lead.
The summary set forth that the
newspapers applauded the withdrawal
of Pablo Gonzales from the presiden-
tial race, saying it would reduce the
chances of conflict growing out of the
political rivalries. The most outstand
ing contender is now Obregon. He
was reported to have left the capital
for Queretaro and from there was ex-
pected to go to San Luis Potosi, re-
turning May "a, the day fixed for the
beginning of a special session of Con-
gress called for the purpose of raining
a president ad interim.
It was assumed here that Obregon
would confer with Manuel Palsez
while at Tampico, but the uncertainty
felt here as to the attitude the former
ruler of the oil fields might assume
was greatly allayed by the message
received from him assuring American
business men that he was united with
and forms a part of the movement
represented by Gems. Obregon and
Gonzales"
Carranza was reported to be NOV

The Dance Thursday Night.

On last Thursday night dance was
given by the local young set at the
Kellahan hotel and preparations were
made for quite an enjoyable social
affair. Notices, or informal invita-
tions, were sent to members Of social
organizations of nearby towns and a
number of out-of-town guests
were present for the occasion. At
about 9 p. m. the dance began, and
bid fair to be one of the most largely
attended and enjoyable events of its
kind held here for some time.
But at about II: 80 or IL p. m, John
Barleycorn, or an alcoholic relative,
made his appearance at the dance and
had a very perceptable hold on some
of the visitors; and then it was not
long until those who indulge in dane
ing for the sake of exercise and whole
some social intercourse were compell-
ed to withdraw from the ball room
and take their departure, owing to
the manner of dancing indulged in
by some of the participants.
Finally the chaperons, young ladies
of the town and some of the visitors
were escorted to their homes and the
hall turned over to the more riotous
crowd.
It was a most unfortunate occasion
for the young set of Kingstree, and
has awakened them to the fact that
although a person may be a member
in good standing of social organi-
cation elsewhere, it is not proof-posi-
tive that the characteristics Of parti-
char individuals will abide with them
when from under the watchful and
scornful eye of the home community,
nor that they will not take advantage
of the hospitality extended them by
well-meaning friends to spoil and be-
smear the reputation of what is IL
tended to foster and make more con-
genial the social intercourse of COM
munities.

South Atlantic Ports Favored.

Cincinnati, May 17.-Edwin G..

the South Atlantic ports delegations
on the fact that South Atlantic ports
should be accorded square deal.
Another prominent manufacturer
called attention to the fact that today
many shipments for export were lying
in Cincinnati awaiting the lifting of

lieve the present congestion.

attending a conference today with the
Federal Reserve Board, pledged them
selves to help the board in its drive

reservedly to support the boards new
policy in discouraging "habitual and
unnecessary borrowings" and to seek
curtailmept of long standing, nom
essential loans" as an initial step to-
ward ending the era of high prices
and speculation.
Governor Harding set forth the
boards policy in speech designed
to clarity the general situation and
to explain the governments views.
He warned of impending dangers in
the cycle of continued borrowings and
speculation, and appealed to bankers
and public alike to be conservative in
its demand for banking credit.

that the country cannot contiue to

sisted in, will eventually bring on a

words before his flight from the be-
sieged train in the early afternoon Of
May ID, while pausing momentarily
before a crowd of terrified civivlian
refugees few miles east of San Mar
cos, accompanied by few intimates
and guarded by what the special dis
patches term "a very small cavalry
force"
The fugitive president crossed the
narrow valley through which the Mex.
lean railway passes, stopped for few
moments to watch the Liberal revolu-
tionary forces occupy the stalled
trains, then disappeared among the
mountains.
Heading Northeast.
1t is believed that Carranza is head
ing northeast toward the coast by way
of Cofre de Perote, with the intention
of boarding a steamer at some small
port and escaping from the country.
Judging from the list of captured Of
ficials and generals received Sunday
at the headquarters in Mexico City of
the Liberal revolutionary government,
a few are accompanying Carranza.
Among them are believed to be Luis
Cabrera, secretary of the treasury;
Gen. Juan Barragan, chief. of staff;
Gen. Francisco Murguia, commander
of the train guards; Gen. Francisco
Urguizo, sub-secretary of war, and
Ygnacio Bonillas, former ambassador
to the United States.
A motor truck load of gold coin,
which the Carranza party attempted
to carry off, broke down, the soldiers
obtaining the major part Of it.

Williamsburg Bull Association.

Williamsburg county has taken a
position in the front line of progress
sive counties in dairy family cow de-
velopment through the organization
of the Williamsburg Guernsey Bull
Association, which is about completed.
This association is made up of four
blocks, each block consisting Of from
Is to 20 farmers and others who took
the necessary number of shares to
make the capital stock of S500.0O per
block.
Three blocks have already bought
high class pure-bred Guernsey bulls,
paying $4,000 each for bulls deliver
ed and insured for one year against
death by any cause. An evidence of
the values of. these three animals is
the records of their mothers. The
dam of one has record OF
12,S12.6 pounds of milk and 1922
pounds butter-fat. The dam Of an
other has a record of 11,7S2.3 pounds
of milk and 564.2 pounds of butter
fat. The dam of the third has rec
ord of 12,416 pounds of milk and 6S5
pounds of butter-fat. With founda-
ton stock like this it will only be but
a few years before Williamsburg
county will have good supply Of
high grade cattle. The fourth bull
will be purchased within the next
week.
The four communities or blocks that
form the Williamsburg County Bull
Association are Hemingway, Indian
town, Cedar Swamp and Kingstree.
The Bloomingvale community are pur-
chasing a one year old bull that is ex-
eeptionally we'll bred, and they hope
to grow him out well and join the
association at the end of two years.
There is already demand for pure
bred Guernsey heifers and COWS as a
result of the bringing in of these
bulls. Good pure-bred cattle Of the
Guernsey breed are not easy to find,
and it is imperative that the farmers
and others who are contemplating
buying heifers or cows to be cautious
in buying. Good bred heifers will
cost from $500 to s400, while good
COWS will cost from s400 upward, de-
pending upon their records. 1t does
not pay to keep a poor cow, for she
will eat just as much as a good COW,
and YOU will have to keep several
cows to give the same amount of milk
that a good cow will give. If you are
not a Judge of a good cow or haven't
had any experience in buying pure
bred heifers and cows, you had better
consult with some one who has had
experience, for there are scrubs IN
pure-bred cattle; so don't take any
chances.
The directors of the Williamsburg
Guernsey Bull Association and your
county agent are working on plans
now for getting the right kind OF
heifers and cows that you should buy.
We hope to have some definite plans
to put before you next week.

CUT PRICE WAVE
SWEEPS WEST
RIG REDUCTIONS IN MANY CON-
MODITIES FOLLOW IN TRACT
OF TIGHT MONEY.

Chicago, May ia wave OF price
cutting in retail clothing costs reach
ing from the Mississippi valley to the
Pacific coast was reported today. Dis
patches from twenty-four cities in that
territory told of promised reductions
in these necessities ranging from Is
per cent to minus profit.
Financial authorities here said that
the indications were that the price
decline would be limited to ready-to-
wear clothes, principally women's gar
sments and silks. Shoes were in the
list affected.
flight money and inadequate trans
portation facilities were cited among
the prime reasons for the mercantile
movement. Delays in delivery OF
goods in which much money had been
tied up, together with inability of
farmers to get grain and live stock
to market, were said in many instan-
ces to have worked hardship on mer-
chants.
An officer of one of the leading de-
partment stores of Chicago declared
that the price reduction now being
reported meant also that merchants
were trying to satisfy what he called
"a hysterical demand from the public
for lower prices. These current re-
ductions, he said, might be only tenn
porary.
Merchants More Cautious.
A financial authority here said that
if reports of price-cutting were de-
pendable, they indicated a tendency
toward a reduction in inventories.
Though this might be temporary, he
said, it was undoubtedly good, in that
it suggested that merchants were
going ahead more cautiously. Sales
are being held under various names.
In Topeka, Kansas, mems clothing
firm announced "no-proft sale," de-
sGlaring that it would back its prom
{ ks at the end of the sale by letting
Me fair price commissioner or COM
mittee named by him take possession
of its books and accounts.
Department stores i'm St. Louis ad-
yertised "underselling campaigns"
Twenty per cent. cuts were the most
popular. On the Pacific coast Tacoma
dealers announced cuts from 20 per
cent fiat to "profitless sales, declar-
ing that on some women's garments
prices were cut virtually in half.
In Minneapolis a large department
store has announced general cut
of 20 per cent. At Knoxville, Tenn,
stores today made general discount
of 90 per cent on its entire stock, ex-
cept a few contract price articles.
Shoe reductions also were announced.

Flu CURE IS FOUND
BY DOCTOR IN PARIS
He Uses Anti Plague Serum, He
Says; Has Been Admins
tered in the u. S.

Paris, Jan. SO.-The sleeping sickness
and the Spanish influenza are twin dis
cascs, and an ordinary antiplaguc serum
with which he has been experimenting y
the eursst remedy for both, DR.. Charles
Foley, famous French physician, declared
Yesterday. He said that there were 20,
100000 cascs Of the "fu' annually, which
number has been increased to 30,0OO,OOO
this year because of the world wide re
crtldoecence Of the epidemic. :,
'Tdid not invent this antiplag,ie serum,
ssid DR.. Foley, "and it WAS only after l
had made successful experiments on myself
that used il on Others. Since that time
and other physicians have made thous-
and Of cures and am convinced that the
Spanish influenza and the sleeping sick
ness are the same disease. This Is Demon
strated by the fact that both diseases are
durable by the same remedy and practical
" the same treatment.
"Curcs have been made in the United
States and l have saved the lives of num-
hers of nv American friends. There is
no special treatment except to take the
serum, which can be procured everywhere
Relief comes from the first injection,
ike that Of yesterday, for instance, when
in the presence Of Other physiclsns and
newspaper men, / treated q woman who
had been asleep for months. In less than
one-half hour after the first five injections
had been administered this woman was
laughing and chatting. She could stand
up and read the newspaper and did not
want TO sleep at all.
s'While there is no danger in employing
this treatment, there is grave danger from
influenza, due to the great numbers Of
cases, which are constantly increasing
every day Nearly three-quarters of the
population of the world already has been
more or less infected with one of the many
varieties Of this disease. II Is frequently
mistaken for other ailments.
This i q recurring epidemic which Is,
ut present , only in the middle of its evolu-
ton and has NOT yet reached its climax
1t can be checked easily, but quick action
Is urgent. / have rSked my life TO
prove the efficacy Of this serum, and am
ready TO do so sgsin, being perfectly
sure Of its great benefit to humanity"
Dr.. Foley is to leave shortly for Poland,
where the Polish Government has asked
