whose trust is placed in me his
faith is well founded.

AMERICANS FLEE
FROM MEXICO
El Paso,Tex., Nov. 22.—Pas
sengers arriving this morning
from Mexico report a terrible
condition in that country. The
train was loaded with refugees
and Americans are leaving the
country as fast as possible.
The refugees report Parral,
state of Chihaumua, in the hands
of the revolutionists, with the
wires cut and the mayor and
chief of police dead. How many
others had been kiiled the ref
ugees did not know.
Troops being sent from Chih
uhau to Parral, left the train at
Jemenez, the junction point and
refused to go farther. Jemenez
was captured by the rebels on
Monday after a fight in which
15 of their number and sever
rurales were killed.
Mexican officials permitted
Americans to retain their arms
to protect themselves. Pas
sengers say the Mexican gov
ernment is placing little reliance
on the army, as half of it is made
up of petty crimianls and convicts
setenced to a term in the army
instead of prison. Most of these
are known to be in sympathy
with the revolutionary move
ment and many officers are sus
pected.
Passengers declare that the
town of Maudro, headquarters of
the F. S. Pearson Lumber inter
ests in Ghihauhau, is in the
hands of revolutionists.
160 soldiers were sent there
from Chihauhau, but 25 deserted
en route and the remainder join
ed the rebels upon their arrival
according to reports heard by
the passengers.
An American arriving from
Guadalajara, capital of the state
of Jalicso, declares that Govern
or Ahudmada is no longer de
pending on his troops but has
placed three rapid fire guns
about his palace and hired men
to guard the palace and operate
the guns.
There are reports today of gen
eral fighting at Orizaba, Rio
Blano, Nogales and Santa Rosa,
a group of cotton manufacturing
towns in Vera Cruz, whither
troops were sent yesterday.
Some of the mills, it is said,
have been fired. There are 10,-
000 employees in Orizaba alone,
all said to be against the govern
ment. . .
Mexican papers arriving by
this morning’s mail show that 1
conditions in Vera Cruz were
serious as far back as Saturday.
It was reported that in Pachuca
the Americans are fleeing, cards
reading “Death to Yankees,’
and “Down with Grin'goes,’’hav
ing been posted all over town.
Many cards read: “Kill Diaz and
his Yankee friends.”
Diariu Del Hogar, the paper
which incited the first anti-
American riots in Mexico City
has been suppressed and the edi
tor Filomena Matta, placed in
jail.
An American arriving this
morning from Torreon declares
that the mayor and two Ameri
cans were killed at that place
Sunday.
Duncans Academy
Saturday was a“ whizzer,”and
was a great reminder that De
cember is near at hand.
Miss Etta Jordan returned to
her home near Carnesville Sun
fl iy after a very pleasant two
weeks visit with relatives in this
community and Canon. She was
accompanied by her brother, Mr.
J. Gordon Jordan.
School at this place is progress
ing nicely. •
Miss Una Carlton spent Thurs
day of last week in Hartwell.
A quiet home wedding but of
unusual interest was that of
Miss Annie Brown and Mr. Les
ter Furgerson on Wednesday af
ternoon Nov. 16, at the home of
the bride’s mother. Mrs. Fer
guson as Miss Brown was the
beautiful young daughter of Mrs
Elva Brown and has won many
friends by her lovely disposition.
Mr. Furgerson is one of Hart’s
promising young men.
We extend to the happy couple
hearty congratulations.

DINNERS REPORT
SHOWS INCREASE
HALF MILLION MORE BALES GIN
NED THAN LAST YEAR AT
THIS DATE.
Washington.—The census bu
reau issued a report on cotton
ginning yesterday showing
8,764,153 bales ginned from the
growth of 1910 to Nov. 14, com
pared with 8,112,199 for 1909.
The total amount ginned shows
a percentage of last three crops
80.5 for 1909, 73.3 for 1908 and
66.1 for 1907.
CAR LOADS OF PEACH SEEDS.
An industry in Western North
Carolina and East Tennessee
which is somewhat out of the or
dinary is the shipping of peach
seeds. Every year from those
sections there go to New York
and other Northern nurseries
from 30 to 50 car loads of these
seeds. The principal sections
frt.m which the seed comes are
those around Hickory and States
ville, N. C. The seed which the
nurseries hiust have to produce
the best results are those from
the seeding poach that is, nat
ural seed and not grafted. They
have better germinating quali
ties. The bulk of the seed ship
ped is collected by children or
saved after the fruit is taken for
canning, after which it is clean
ed,dried and taken to the dealers
and sold, at a rate of from 75
cents to $1.25 a bushlei of 50
pounds. These seeds form a
purely by product of the farm
and the money received from
them is so much gain. Occasion
ally grafted seed are found
among the seedlings, and to‘re
move these the dealers have put
iin cleaning plants which will
i take out all the«e larger seed.
