Villa Settles Down to Ways Of Peace

Juarez, Chihuahua, Mexico. May
1O.-Francisco Villas days of ban
ditry and constant menace to all at
tempts to establish stable govern
ment in Mexico and to the relations
between this republic and the United
States are ended, according to re-
ports reaching here. Leaders of the
new revolution displayed visible re-
lief at the announcement that Villa
had laid down his arms and turned
his men over to General Ignacio En-
riquez, revolutionary commander OF
the Chihuahua district.
Since the revolution swept out OF
Sonora with increasing momentum,
what Villa would do or what would
be done with him had been source
of much speculation. 1t was reported
that, with the best interests of his
country at heart, he would seek to
be permitted to remain neutral and
settle down on a plantation, and still
later that his offered services to
the revolution had been declined.
Agents of the new regime admitted
that if Villa decided to oppose it he
would constitute the greatest menace
to it.

James Woodson Dillon.

Mr.. James Woodson Dillon was
born near Little Rock. S. c., on Dec
ember the 9th, 1877, and died at
the Florence Infrmary, Florence, 5.
c., on April 16. 1920.
Mr.. Dillon was happily married to
Miss Lily Naomi Sneed, of Mont
gomery, North Carolina, who made
him a devoted wife and loving COM
panion. He joined the Methodist
Church after his marriage and re-
NAMED a member until the day of his
death. Mr.. Dillon was the son OF
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Dillon, of Little
Rock. After his marriage Mr.. Dillon
lived in North Carolina until he
came to Dillon, South Carolina. In
1917.
The subject of this memoir was a
man of modest and retiring DISPOSE
ton, but a man of sterling worth and
of strong character. He studiously
avoided all pomp and display, but
had in him the elements Of real
worth and substantial citizenship.
Though of a retiring disposition, Mr..
Dillon made many friends because as
soon as men learned to know him
they learned to appreciate his merits.
Mr.. Dillon was a member OF sew
eral Lodges in Dillon and the funeral
exercises were attended by an unus-
ually large number Of men. The be-
reaved widow and children have the
deepest sympathy Of the entire COM
munity.

and despite Ar. Clark's faulty style
it is a most readable book. The last
chapter is devoted to Mr.. Bryan, and
a minute analysis is made Of the mo-
tives that prompted Mr.. Bryan's con-
duct at Baltimore in 1912. l was at
that convention and kept an eye on
MIR. Bryan, and my opinion then was
and ever since has been identical with
Mr.. Clark's as to Mr.. Bryan's mo-
tives. Clark says Bryan went to Bal
timore to get the nomination himself.
Can Mr.. Bryan place his hand upon
his heart and fix his eye upon MS
God and deny it? Clark says Bryan
assailed him because he led in the
ballotings and that his assault would
have been made on Wilson had Will
son led.
left Baltimore about ten minutes
after Wilson was nominated, and as
I boarded the trolley for Washington
I repeated to myself this thought:
Never before was there shown On any
theatre of politics under the sun such
q vivid Illustration of the engineer
hoist by his own petard as was seen
in the exploit of Mr.. Bryan In that
convention.
In the San Francisco convention
Mr.. Bryan will hold a commission
conferred On him by Nebraska Re-
publicans and his mission will be to
promote the fortunes Of the Republi-
can party in the union. II you want
to see a grin of satisfaction as broad
a. Goliath's shoulders and as long as
Goliath's legs spread over the human
countenance ask the first intelligent
Republican you meet what he thinks
of Mr.. Bryan as delegate to the
San Francisco convention. Truly the
owner knows his OK and the crib Its
ass.
It is everywhere asserted and no
where disputed that Bryan owes his
seat in the Democratic convention to
Republican votes in Nebraska. Is
the Democratic party ass enough and
coward enough to suffer this man to
SOW the seed Of discord IN the Demo-
cratic council? That is the question
for the Democratic party to settle
and settle instanter when the conven-
ton first convenes.
Mr.. Bryan means mischief.

duct in cooperation with the county

closes some startling facts and shows
the great need that exists for health
center in this county. The statistic
in this report are the result of Miss

amined and ass were found to have
diseased or enlarged tonsils, $40 to

Der OF defects exceeds the number OF

Banquet Given as
Victory Celebration
w. c. T. u. Members Serve
Spread to Seventy-ive and
Provide Program of Toast
making-Tables Handsome
Iy Decorated for Event.

Ordway w. e. T. U., members gave
q banquet on Friday evening Of last
week to the membership. and more
particularly to the new members. The
occasion was Che OF considerable en-
joyment to the members and in the
nature of a victory celebration, fol-
lowing soon after. as 1t did. the Pro-
bition" decision of the supreme court
of the United States. Primarily the
banquet and program that was rend-
cred was in celebration OF the con-
pletion of o campaign for new mem
bers, for the membership was very
materially increased.
The banquet was given in the cafe
terra room Of the school building and
the girls of the domestic science
class, and principally from the homes
Of w. C. T. u, workers. served ex-
cellently the spread. The banquet
tables were artistically decorated and
the room presented a very attractive
appearance. The tables were adorn
ed with flowers and white ribbons"
and white flowers predominated.
About Seventy-fve persons were seat
ed at the tables, two large ones run
ming quite the length of the room.
Mrs. W. E. Strever. president Of
the w. C. T. u, had worked admir-
ably in preparation for this event and
she started the program by introduc-
ing Mrs. d. C. Roberts as toastmist-
ress for the evening. Mrs. Roberts
presided in charming manner and
made the symposium feature of the
evening a remarkable success by the
manner in which she introduced the
speakers and the opening remarks
che gave. Girls who served turned
chorus and sang the song of old John
Barleycorn's death. The speakers
were Judge Charles C. Woodbridge on

"The w. C. T. u" and Rev. Rains,
THE Ministry and Prohibition"
Banquets of this nature and the
gathering together Of SO many per-
sons interested in the cause Of pro-
hibition indicate that there is not on
ly rejoicing over the victories the
past few years, but that there is the
need of being ever on the alert and
watching that grave of John Barley
corn to see that he does not take on
life and come forth in additional pow
er. The w. C. T. u. women do not
propose to sleep at the switch and
let fall all the things they have gain
ed in the past few years and it is quite
likely that they will see to 1t that |
Prohibition is here to stay.
