Laredo, Texas.- The constitutional ists alleged attitude toward the Cath olic church in Mexico has resulted in an unusual situation in Nuevo Laredo, Laredo, Mexico, opposite here. Wed dings. baptisms and even funerals for Catholics either must lie held without the customary religious services or else those services can be obtained only after unusual difficulty. Tho Catholics are awaiting the outcome of an appeal to Carranza to change the situation. s Soon after the. occupation of Nuevo Laredo by the constitutionalists under Major Sato, he ordered the occupation of the Catholic church. The priest. Father Iglesias, was deported to the American side The church since has been used as a barracks and civilians have been refused permission to en ter. Catholic residents are. without relig ious services and the only clerical ser vices they can obtain are those of priests from the American side of the river. bleasHaTllT PICMS MEET Pickens, S. C.—About 1,500 voters, mostly 'from Pickens county, heard the candidates for the United States senate speak here Friday afternoon. The best of order prevailed and every speaker was accorded an attentive hearing. Governor Blease received the greatest applause and it appeared that his sup porters were in the majority. The en thusiasm was not as great as at the Blease-Jones meeting two years ago. There was practically no difference in the size of the crowd. Governor Blease carried this county in 1912 by nearly 1,000 and his supporters here are claiming it for him again. Blease’s Pardon Record. In connection with the governor's par don record, W. P. Pollock referred to the pardon of “Portland Ned" and read a parody on “Old King Cole” which amused the crowd. He referred to the appointment on the governor's staff of J. Preston Gibson, James SottUe and' Edwin Mirsch, calling them a "sweet bunch” to be saluted when the gover nor “with his top knot waving” re views the state militia. Mr. Pollock read the “Charleston list” asking the Bleasites present how they liked being “lined up with such a bunch of dagoes.” Senator Smith in replying to the at tack of Mr. Pollock, waxed somewhat humorous and brought several hearty laughs from the crowd. He said Mr. Pollock paid him the compliment of say ing he had talked cotton in the senate. The senator caused some merriment at the expense of his other “pieces of law yer's’* opponents, declaring he was go ing back to the senate despite “the work, the flesh, the devil and these lawyers.” He then launched into his cotton speech, reviewing his work in and out of the senate for the farmers. Smith Complimented. In the midst of Senator Smith’s speech he was interrupted by an aged farmer, Mr. Nelson Bolding, who “on behalf of the farmers of Pickens coun ty” presented the senator with a min iature “bale of cotton to put in your warehouse and hold as long as you please.” The senate gracefully and sentimentally acknowledged the gift, then resumed his speech, at the conclu sion of which he was presented a handsome wreath, by the Rev. D. W. Hiatt, also “in behalf of the farmers of Pickens county.” Governor Blease. who came on the platform while Senator Smith was speaking, said he. was glad the senator received a respectful hearing; that th«* bale of cotton w’as about all Smith would -get in Pickens county “except a few soreheads and that he’d bet not move than five farmers contibnted to wards the flowers given the senator. The governor also declared that the man hollering lowdest for Smith was t,he sheriff of Abbeville county. “He’s a good one. too,” retorted the inimitable Charley Lyon, who did considerable hollering for the governor two years ago. Governor Blease declared as false a report he said had been circulated that he charged a man $5 for the privilege of seeing his wife, who was in the in sane asylum, and called upon the man, who circulated the report to say that he had done the governor an injustice, the party doing so. Explains Negro’s Pardon. The governor also denied another re port. he said had been circulated, that he had pardoned a negro who was serv ing thirty years for attempted criminal assault. Ho said another negro of the same name, convicted of assault and battery, had been pardoned and read the name# of several prominent Pick ens citizens who asked for the pardon. “As long as that class of men asks me to do anything, I’m going to do it,” de cl tred the governor. The governor predicted that if an anti-Blease governor is elected this registration certificates for voting in the year, a law will be passed requiring primary, but he didn’t think it possi ble for anyone hut a Bleaseite to be come governor. The governor made his usual attack on tiie new primary rules and the rec ord of Senator Smith. He referred to his appointment of Captain Ivy M. Mauldin as state hank examenir, “be cause Pickens is a Bleaselte county and he's a lileaseite.' and said he helped make another Pickens man Judge, Judge T. J. Mauldin. The governor received a wide-brimmed Panama iiat, “from your Pickens friends,” and a box of beautiful flowers “from your Plckena county friends.” r.

Reid, President, The Empire Life Insurance Co., Atlanta, Ga.: My Dear Mr. Reid— Itqives me pleasure to indorse the letter from Mr. J. T. Neal, of Thomson. Ga., whom I know well and trust implicitly, re garding the effort which is being made to embarrass your splendid, growing company—or, as I should have said, OUR COMPANY. It is high time that Southern people—Georgia people—should display more loyalty and exercise sane judgment in dealing with our home insti tutions, and where they deserve confidence, as I believe the Empire Life does, they should be upheld and helped rather than assailed and at tacked. There most certainly should be a law requiring one to make bond be fore filing a suit or petition with a view to placing an institution into the hands of a receiver and causing the hard-earned money of investors to be wasted in litigation. I have faith in the future of tho Empire Life Insurance Company, with which I have had dealings for years, and in which I took out a policy only last year. With best wishes for the continued progress and success of your com pany and assurance of my esteem and willingness to co-operate with you, I am, Very truly yours, J. F. LEE.
