SEVERAL AMERICANS WOUNDED In Spite of the Warning of the United States, Bullets Poured on the Amer ican Town of Douglas, Ariz. —Seven Ncn-Combatants Wounded The most Important battle of the Mexican revolution thus far was lought at Agua Prieta, Monday, be tween 1,600 federate, under command of Lieut. Col. Diaz, and 1,000 rebels, uncer Balasaric Garcia, and resulted In the repulse of the former. The battle, however, .was not finally; decisive. It lasted from 6:30 a. mJ until sundown. At nightfall two fed-j eral machine guns were in the posses sion ot the rebels and the federate had sustained a loss estimated by the rebels as at least 200 killed and wounded. The rebels gave their own loss at 20. From the beginning of the battle, regardless of the warning given by the United States government to the leaders of both forces, a rain of bul lets po ted into the American town of Douglas, and when the day was over, it was found that seven non combatant residents of that city were wounded. It was a day almost of ter ror in Douglas. Taft Plays Last Card. A Washington dispatch says that President Taft felt that he had done personally all that can be done by a chief executive to control the situa tion along the Mexican border. He and his advisers believe that now congress must say whether the situa tion is grave enough to warrant inter vention and its consequences. Through the state department the administration played what might be regarded as its last card. It reiterated in no uncertain fashion the represen tations made to Mexico a few days age, that affairs like that at Douglas and Agua Prieta last week must not be repeated. Instead of awaiting the customary period for a formal reply from Mex ico, the department asked for imme diate assurances that there be no more fighting that endangered Ameri cans in the border towns. Informa tion was requested also as to what measures the authorities had taken to prevent future combats of this kind. A few hours after the department announced that it had Issued this sec und demand the dispatches from Douglas began to come into the war department, showing that the second battle of Agua Prieta had begun. Demands Investigation. Searching inquiry into the situation in Mexico is demanded in a resolution offered at Washington by Senator Stone, of Missouri. The resolution calls on the senate committee on for eign relations to undertake an inves tigation because of the dangers to American Ilves and property.

The laying of the steel started last Tuesday morning and they have, about one-half of a mile of track put down. Mr, Barfield, of Abbe ville, has the work in charge and if they can get the cross-ties, it will not take but a few weeks to bring it right on in to Irwinton. Labor is so hard to get in this section that it will take consid erable longer on account of be ing unable to get sufficient hands. The committee that has the work in charge has secured enough steel to lay the track, but are having trouble in securing a locomotive, but they think that they will get one in the course of a few days.

With the lines closely drawn for what is expected to prove the most sensational battle the Daughters of the American Revolution have ever had, the twenty-first annual conven tion of that organization began its ses sion at Washington, D C., in Conti nental Memorial hall. President General Mrs. Mathew T Scott presided. Right Rev Alfred Harding, bishop of Was' ington, read the Scriptu e and prayer, and Presi dent Taft t- en delivered an address of welcome. When Mrs. Scott’s gavel fell at 10:30 o’clock, nearly 1,000 delegates were gathered in the magnificent flag draped and garlanded hall. Insur gents and regulars are already aligned for the coming struggle between the Scott and Story factions for the pres ident generalcy. The lines are drawn and each faction of the great organiza tion is, or professes to be, confident ol electing its choice for president gen era] for the ensuing term. The battle centers about Mrs. Mathew T. Scott president general, and Mrs. Willlan: Cummings Story. Mrs. Scott is seek ing re-election, and Mrs. Story is de termined that she shall be elected president general. Friends of both candidates are fighting vigorously foi their choice. JAMES A. O’GORMAN.

The passage of the campaign public ity bill by the house Friday by the overwhelming vote of 303 to 0 makes the second important measure passed the past few days. The party, however, met Its first serious trouble fn the house Friday. At the close of a session marked by insurgency in the democratic ranks, by reason of which the republicans narrowly missed scoring a triumph, the house passed the Rucker bill.’ But for the vigorous use of the dem ocratic party whip an important, re publican amendment extending public ity to the individual receipts and ex penses of candidates for congress would have been retained in the bill when it finally passed. DEMOCRATSAMAZE GRAND OLD PARTY Quick Work in House Surprises Republicans, LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM RUSHED The Democratic Leaders Plan to Put All Their Measures Through the House in Short While and Then Watch the Senate Wrangle The house democrats are now talk ing about completing the enactment of their entire legislative program by the first of May. It is not by any means certain that they will do it, and they have not definitely set that date as a time limit, but among them selves they have made it a mark at which to aim. Many of them are firmly convinced that they will have passed and sent over to the senate by that time every legislative proposal which they h^ve declared in advance world go .through the house at this special session. The celerity with which the demo crats in the house have started to en acting bills on the legislative program, now that the preliminaries of organi zation are out of the way, has simply amazed and confounded the republi cans. The strategy of the democratic ma jority in the house with their plan of campaign is now clearly disclosing it self. They purpose sending over to the senate in rapid succession all of the legislative measures on which they have reached an agreement. The at tention of the country will be diverted to the other end of the capitol and away from the house when the sena tors begin to quarrel over Canadian reciprocity, direct election es senators and the proposal to make campaign contributions public before, as well as after, election. FIVE MEN MEET DEATH. Great Kettle of Molten Metal Over turned on Iron Workers. Five workmen were killed, two were fatally injured and twelve others se riously hurt at the Midvale Steel works, at Wayne Junction, Pa., when a huge container filled with molten steel gave way, the fiery liquid pour ing or splashing over more than a score of the employes. The accident occurred in what is known as the “open hearth No. 1.” Several tons of the molten steel had been poured into a huge container, and it was being slowly propelled along a traveling crane across the shop to waiting Tnolds. More than twenty men were under and around it guiding the huge vessel with long tongs, when, without warn ing, a plug in the bottom of the con tainer burst out and the molten steel instantly began pouring through the hole. It spluttered aind splashed over some of the men, and they were com pelled to. let go of the-tongs. In thus releasing their hold, the huge kettle became unsteady, and in the next in stant it tilted over and poured down a solid stream of Ue molten steel. • In Memory Little Tommie Madge Parker, the second daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Parker, Irwinton, Ga. was born Oct. 20,1905, died Jan. 20, 1911; aged 5 years, 2 months and 24 days. Few towns, large or small, have been called on to make a larger contribution to the heav enly gathering than was old Ir winton when God asked for dear little Madge. Five years, two months and twenty-four days seem a short time for the dear little girl in this world, but it was long enough to live an unstained life in two worlds* and long enough to link heaven and earth, for mamma and papa, as nothing else could have done. Such seems to have been the mission of the dear, sweet child. Having filled her mission, her little life can justly lay claim to the lines: “Life’s race well run, Life’s work well done, Life’s crown well won, And then comes rest.” as the old and faithful servant of God. To her memory the family dedicates the following lines: “We had a little treasure once, She was our joy and pride; We loved her, ah! perhaps too well, For soon she slept and died. All is dark within our dwelling Lonely are our hearts today, For the one we loved so dearly Has forever passed away.” P. A. JESSUP, Pastor Irwinton Baptist Church Special Notices. ' B. C.
