ranza replies to the proposal of the
Niagara Falls mediators, who have
tendered their good offices in arrang
ing a conference between representa
tives of Huerta and the Constitution
alists. according to travelers who ar
rived at Laredo today from Monterey
No answer will bo made until General
Carranza has submitted the proposal
to all of his generals. A number of
the commanders are beyond reach of
the referendum vote*urill require some
time. j- ?
' In the meantime, it is said the tic
tory Of Villa at Zacatccas ha* done ab
solutely nothing to bring the Car
ranza and Villa factions together . At
no place along.tli# line where the di
vision of the notheast is stationed
or at Saltillo or Monterey was there
any determination or demonstration
such as usually follows a Constitu
tionalist victory, according to infor
mation brought her6 today.
Carfranza Holds Gateway.
Great significance is being placed
by many In close touch- with the, sit
uation on the announcement thai Ca
ranza will make Monterey his pi'oTis
ional capital. The strategic location
of that city is being pointed out, to
view Of the present Situation. Mon
terey, it Is said, will be the controlling
gateway for Mexican coal and fuel oil
and ammunition and any party h61d
lng it could cut off from Torreon and
the west fuel supplies necessary to
move troops trains, by checking ship
ments from Tampico and the northern
Mexican coal fields, great stratgetic
prominence. - Troops can be moboll
zen there quitely or disturbed readily
to points west and south toward Tor
ren and San Louie Postosi. The town
also presents numerous avenues of re
treat tfeeides offering splendid facllti
es for withstanding a seige.
Villa Hay Be Cot Off.
* Persons to close touch with <hd ait-;
nation point out that should Vfjla con
tinue this victorious course south to
ward Mexico City and a definite and
final break should come with Car
ranza. the travelers say the latter
with General Gonzales' force
readily available along the line,.bet
ween San Luis Potosi and Monterey,
.^.ight be to a position to readily cut
across Villa's line of commuhicatlon
to the north, shutting olf all supplies
south of Torreon and obtaining virtual
control of Northern Mexico. Carran
za's headquarters, however, continue
to emphasize the statement tl'at the
campaign against S*n Louis Potosi
arm the south would be published at
once.
Tlic keenest interest obtains a Mon
terey as to the movements of Villa.
Other Generals Promoted.
The announcement Monday that
General Pablo Gonzales and General
Obregon had been promoted to the
generals of division is regarded as
significant according to today's ar
rivals. Gonzales, Obregon and Villa
have been in actual command of the
divisions of the northeast, northwest,
and the center respectively, but none
of them has been entitled to the for
mal title Of general of division. Each
has been a general of brigade only.
Villa was selected to command the
division of the center (then called the
division of the nortl]) by a vote of the
seven brigade commanders who com
posed that body, as they realized that
although each was at equal rank, it
-was necessary "to' have one directing
and responsible head. The promo
tion of Gonzales and Obregon "will
make them superior In rank to Vll

the thrilling strains of Lohengrins
Wedding march and the bridal party
entered. First^came the ushers, Dr.
R. F. Ya rborough, Mr. Maurice Clif
ton, Dr. C. W Banks and Mr. J
Macon.
They crossed at the chancel rail
and took tjieir places on either side.
Then entered Miss Gertrude Winston,

chell, of Youngsville, crossing at the
center of the chancel and entered
the chancel rail. n. ? .

np Cooke, of Louisburg, Miss Lucy
"SSUtiwlclc, of Louisburg, 'with MK
?Clyde Perry, of Youngsville, Miss
Julia Barrow, of Louisburg, with Mr.

Then entered the dame of honor,
Mrs. E. J. Macon, wearing a handsome
gown of white crepe metor, carrying
white carnations. Little Miss Annlo
Perry N'eal entered bearing the ring
upon a small sllyer, tray ??
Then from the left isle entered the
bride on the arm of her sister^ Miss
Mary Belle Macon, while the groom
and best man, Mr. Herman Winston
entered from the right Isle.
They were met at the alter by the
Rev. A. D. Wilcox, and in the beaiJti
ful and Impressive ring ceremony
were made man and wife.
During the ceremony Mrs. Fleming
sweetly and touchingly played "The
Angels Serenade," and the bridal
party left the church to the strains of
Mendelssohn's wedding march.
The bride wore a beautiful gown of
white crepe meteor full court train,,
long veil caught up with orange blos
soms and real lace and carried a large
boquet of brideB roses.
The maid of honor wore pink char
mouse with pearls and the dame of
honor wore white crepe meteor and
carried white carnations.
The attendants were handsomely
gowned in white lace dresses with
pink.sashes and carried large bunches
9f ferns. ?
The scene was one of beauty and
brilliancy and seldom does a marriage
meet t with more general interest than
this one a? Mrs. Winston wad one of
Loulsburg's best loved daughters and
Mr- Winston is superintendent of one
of the county's" largest and best
schools.
Immediately after the ceremony a
reception was tendered the bridal
party at the home of the brides mother
Mrs. W. H. Macon.

Woman's Missionary Society.
. The study circle of the- Woman's
Missionary Society met on Monday
afternoon with Mrs. W. E. White. A
large number was present and a very
interesting meeting was held.
? The meeting was opened with a
fcrayer and scripture lesson read by
Mrs. F. B. McKlnne.
Mrs. P. G. Alston then took up the
lesson which was a study of the edu
cational awakening of Mexico Some
very able and interesting discussions
were given, and the meeting turned
over to the social hour.
Delightful refreshments were ser
ved and the circle adjourned to meet
two weeks later at the Jiome of Miss
Joe Jones. ,
A vote was taken to discontinue the
study circle until the first of Septem
ber but was unanimously voted down.
Mrs. High asked the Society \o
meet with her on Friday afternoon at
1:00 o'clock in a social meeting.
Held For niiclt Distilling.
Facts growing out of the evidence in
the case of State vs. Bob Woodlelf on
Monday gave reason to believe that
Wiley Murray and Bob Woodleif had
been blockading whiskey, whereupon
Judge Cooke ordered the .clerk to
draw a warrant for them and have
them before him the next morning at
9 o'clock. The case was tried and suf
ficient evidence developed for Jujjge
Cooke to hold the two defendants for
'court, therflfere he placed Murray un
dfer at>ondof $250 and Woodlelf under
a bond of $500.
Tried for Bape.
On last Monday morning upon a
warrant sworn out by him, Judge^C. |
M. Cooke tried Bob Woodleif for com
mitting rape upon Mrs. Wiley Mur
ray. The case was pretty well gone
into and the defendant was held for
court under a $500 justifiable bond.
The Fourth of July
This day is not as generally ob
served as a holiday in the South as in
other sections of the country; but is
observed In some of our eitles and
towna<to touch an extent as to call for
a warning against the dangers from
some things dono in its .observance.
Publlr?cntiment is in favor of a safe
and sane Fourth of July. The day
can and should be observed without
the use of fireworks, powder and other
explosives. Officiate, business men
members of the Are departments and
householders should be informed and
prepared for emergencies. ?
" Bitfhliitf TMrah PHesrf
The Insurance Commissioner again
warns housekeepers of the danger
from fires resulting from burnfng of
traaiir^vPKWft or on streets. If peo
ple Insist on destroying refuse matter
in this way, the burning heap should
be watched - carefully to prevent
sparks from flying to buildings and
causing great loss of property, always
see that tfee fire is thoroughly extin
guished at night, as a wind is likely to
fan the embers into a blaze with con
sequences none can foresee. Each
city shouldi8lse-parksmmgsndhrhrdh
city and town should have and enforce
ordiances forbidding trash flres. It
is well to remember in this connect
ion that very few persons can afford
to lose their property from any cause,
much less by a fire caused-by care
lessness.
Fireworks.
It is generally realized the great
losf of life a;id property occurring
every year caused by fireworks. A few
years ago two-thirds of the city oT
Portland, Maine, was burned, caused
by the careless handling, of firecrack
ers. From the same capse Pittsburg
lost $50,00Q^ worth of property in one
day, and in eight years the Are loss
in the United States as result of
the careless handling of fireworks
amounted to over $2,500,000.
Fireworks may be divided into two'
classes, those exploded in the upper
air, such as skyrockets and toy bal
loons, and those discharged nearer the
ground, such as Bmall firecrackers, the
cannon or giant orackers, blank car
thfgQB, toy pistdls, spin-wheels, etcrr
They are decidedly dangerous and
should be avoided.
