Federal Soldiers and Civilians,
Starving and Dying, at
Goal of Safety.
PRESIDIO, T BIX AS. VIA MARFA,
n»c. 6.—Couriers traveling in advance
the caravan of refugees from Chi
huahua rode Into Presidio to-day
with tragic stories of hardship and
distress. They said that the main
body of the fugitives would reach the
border late this afternoon. The flee
ing Federal soldiers seized whole
families along the way as hostages to
prevent any attack by the Constitu
tionalists.
For more than a week the refugees,
soldiers and civilians (men, women
and children), have plodded over the
ISO miles of Mexican desert and
mountain land lying between Chihua
hua and the border.
Fxbausted' men and children, foot
sore and worn out by hardships and
lack of water and food, were left by
the wayside to die slowly of thirst
and hunger.
Treasure Left in Flight.
Some of the rich members of the
fleeing army—for there are a number
of wealthy Mexican families among
the refugees—were compelled by
General Mercado's soldiers to kill
their horses and mules for food. Even
the pack animals carrying a treasure
in bullion and plate owned by the
Terrazas and other rich Mexican fam
ilies were slain for food.
Straggling bands of soldiers flanked
the caravan and acted as advance and
rear guard to prevent any attack by
bandits.
When the flight started, many of
the wanderers threw away arms, pro
visions and clothing in panic. When
the mountain country was struck,
the weather became very cold and
exposure added to the distress of the
fugitives.
U. S. to Aid Refugees.
Examples of noble sacrifice among
the civilians were common. Fathers
and mothers discarded their own
clothing that their children might be
warm.
The United States military and
civil authorities are co-operating to
'are for the hungry and penniless
refugees. An emergency camp has
been established by Captain Going,
of Troop E, Fifteenth United States
Cavalry.
Throughout the night a number of
Mexican residents of Ojinaga crossed
the border of Presidio because of re
ports that Constitutionalists were ad
vancing upon the town to attack the
Federal soldiers.

Lads Leave for Home Elated Over Great Atlanta
Show and Parade.
Georgia boys will be represented At
the National Corn Show next Febru
ary in Dallas, Texas.
This announcement was made Fri
day by Dan Hughes, Assistant Com
missioner of Agriculture. It was the
Boys’ Corn Club Show at the State
Capitol that did it.
Heretofore the big National Show
has been pracfU-ally monopolized by
the grown-pp farmers. This year one
State at least will have a big exhibit
to show what the young citizens can
do in the way of raising prize-win
ning corn.
T. O. Plunkett, manager of the farm
department for the Southern Rail
way, will have charge of the exhibits

He was at the Capitol Friday to pro
cure the pick of the boys’ exhibits to
take with him to Dallas.
Boys to Get Credit..
With J. Phil Campbell, the prime
mover in the boys’ show, he will go
over every exhibit on the first floor
of the Capitol and select the best
ears on display. These will be placed
with exhibits obtained by Southern
Railway agents In their travels about
the State and will be grouped at the
Dallas show as Georgia’s display.
Every boy will be given credit for
his work. His name will appear on
hjs exhibit at Dallas just as it did in
Atlanta. The yield per acre and the
cost of production also will be noted.
Ohe of the interesting exhibits that
will go from Georgia will be an car of
corn raided by Aaron Moon, of New
ton County. It represents the ideal
type of corn and probably is the most
nearly perfect ear in every respect a/t
the show.
j Boys Go Home Elated.
Georgia Corn Club boys were re
turning to their homes Friday with
the happy thought that they had
participated in the most successful
corn show and the best parade since
the organization of the corn clubs in
the South.
It. was a great parade. Tt obtained
Its pre-eminence from the great
crowds that watched it as well as
from the hordes of joyous corn club
and high school boys that had a part
in it.
Traffic halted. The street railway
company was powerless. The boys
simply pre-empted the streets and
the crowds did the rest. There was
no piercing the solid blocks of hu
manity that, congested the crossings
and refused to move until the boys
had passed by.

Well he might be proud, for he had
eclipsed the State record and had
rajsed 181.72 bushels to the acre, a
mark that any veteran farmer in the
land might try for years to surpass.
