GEN. HERRERA
TO Be TRIED BY
COURT MARTIAL
Leader Of Recent Rebellion In
Tampico Oil Fields-Clem-
ency for Followers

Mexico City, July 1S.-Courtmar-
tial proceedings await General Mar
tinez Herrera, leader OF Il recent re-
bellion in the Tampico oil region, ac
cording to word received here from
San Luis Potosi, where President
Obregon and the secretary of war
are visiting.
This statement followed the report
that Gen Herrera had asked that he
be permitted to surrender when he
found he could not muster sufficient
forces to carry out his pl2ns.
The message added, however. that
executive clemency probably would
be extended to the soldir followers of
Herrera, said to number $50.
Delayed reports received here Sun
day told of an encounter between
federal forces under General Gauda-
lupe Sanchez and General Herrera
Saturday near liucsteca in which sev-
eral were wounded.
The Excelsior" says it learns on
good authority that the Herrera re-
volt originally was planned to occur
simultaneously with the arrival of
several American destroyers in Tam
pico Bay in order to force the i'm
mediate landing of United States ma
Zines with subsequent international
consequences.

.LEMASTERS CHOSEN
BECAUSE OF LARGE
AMOUNT OF WORK
lakeland Man to Supervise Con-
struction of Southern College
Buildings
(From Tampa Tribune.)

.Clearwater Beach, July 1S.-The
greatly enlarged volume of office and
field work OF Southern College attend
ing the construction of the new plant
at Lakeland, and the handling of the
funds subscribed for the institution
in the recent Methodist educational
campaign, has necessitated the crea-
5 ton of an office in the administrative
department of the school. known as
business manager, which, it is be
lieved will meet great need in the
management of the college. At a re-
cent meeting of the executive com
mittee of the board of trustees. DR..
w. o. Lemastefs of Lakeland was
chosen as the business manager of
Southern College, and in this capac-
. ity he will have charge of the finan-
cial management of the institution,
and supervision over the construc-
ton of the new college plant, which
. is to be erected during the coming
year.
The board of trustees and the pres
ident of this growing institution are
exceedingly fortunate in securing the
services of such an efficient man as
Dr.. Lemasters. Having had years of
experience in the educational and
commercial world, he is peculiarly
we'll fitted to assume his new respon-
sibilities. Before coming to Florida
DR.. Lemasters was a successful bust
ness man of Akron, Ohio, since his
residence in the state he has been
county superintendent of public in
struction in fernando county, and
more recently conference director in
the educational movement of the Flor.
ida Methodist Conference and it was
!. largely through his efficient services
in that capacity that the movement
was such a notable success.
In speaking of Dr.. Lemasters' new
Office, prominent business man OF
south Florida, and member of the
board of trustees said: Il feel very
grateful for the college that we have
man like Mr. Lemasters for our
business manager. and am sure that
he and Dr. Alderman will make
wonderful working team" In placing
DR.. Lemasters at the head of the bus
iness department OF the college, the
board of trustees is being congratu-
lated upon its wise selection. and its
success in securing his services.

SNOW AND LIGHTNING.

They have been having curious
weather over in Robson county, if
reports are true. The Dillon Herald
says:
Perhaps one of the most remark
able and phenomenal snow storms
occurring in the southern section of
North Carolina was witnessed at
Bear Swamp, between Buie, N. c.,
and Rennert, n. c.. last Sunday night.
Conductor Vann, running on A.
c. l.. No. 80 reports that there was
one and one half inches of snow in
this section when he passed through
early Sunday morning.
1T began to snow at about $50
p. m, and continued to do so until
about 1880 a. m. The storm was ac-
companied by thunder and light
ming and those living near by say
IL was violent and furious.
The area covered was nearly a
mile In width and seemed to be con-
fined almost entirely to the swamp
section"
For thunder storm to be accom-
panied by a big snow is something
new under the sun-though it is not
recorded that the sun was shining
or above at that time.
We suspect, however, that No. 50
was moving too fast on that Monday
morning for Condurtor Vann to tell
whether 1T was snow or hail that
covered the ground in the swamp, or
how long it had been falling. Per-
haps the following account from the
Charlotte Observer is nearer correct:
"Lumberton, Feb. 2S-The heav-
lest hail storm ever witnessed here
abouts visited several sections of
Robeson county early Sunday night
The hail covered the ground to
depth of six inches at Rennert and
much of it was on the ground to-
day according to reports reaching
Lumberton. The hail storm was
accompanied by an electrical storm.
The worst damage wrought was to
tobacco plant beds. Pee Dee Advo-
cate.
The Robson county snow storm
was mentioned in conversation a few
days ago and gentlemen present
said while he was working at the
DUPONT works in Virginia last winter
there was heavy snow fall accom-
panied by thunder and lightning.
The atmosphere was warm when the
snow began to fall, but in a few min
utes there was a rapid fall in the
temperature. and shortly afterwards
water began to freeze.
