SUBSCRIPTION RATES One Year $1-50 Six Months "5 Three Months 40 THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 191".. It seems singular that Robeson's Senator and Representatives in the General Assembly have not before this introduced bills for recorder's court or courts for Robeson. During the campaign last summer each one of them recognized the sentiment throughout the county for one or more recorder's courts and pledtred himself in favor of such courts. Why this delay? That is a matter about which there seems to have been no disagreement during the campaign and bills might have been introduced during the first few days of the ses sion and passed. And now only three weeks remain. There seems to be a growing sentiment in favor of four recorder's courts for the county one to sit in Lumberton, one at Maxton, One at Red Springs, one at Fairmont. It is hard to believe that there is any serious movement on the part of any reputable citizens up Red Springs way to bring any new-county movement before the present Legisla ture, yet that seems to be the fact. In view of the support given Dr. B. F. McMillan by the people of this sec tion of the county under the positive pledge that the matter of the forma tion of a new county would not be brought up at this session of the Legislature, no man of the Red Springs section can espouse any new county movement at this time with out placing himself in a most com promising position in the eyes of all honorable men. DIAZ PLOTTED IN JAIL Captured After Taking Vera Cruz and Sentenced to Die, Madero Spared His Life. Baltimore Sun. When Porfiro Diaz left Mexico City a heart-broken man, nfter having reigned as dictator and the unquest ioned "bpss" of the republic, he left behind him his nephew, Felix Diaz, who, although included among the un desirables, and ordered from the country, announced he would return and regain the seat of government, that once more a Diaz might hold sway over Mexico. While Madero was paying attention to the rebellions in the mountain and southern country, Diaz, who was only 30 years old, was at work in South ern California perfecting his prepa rations for dealing a crushing blow to the Madero administration. Diaz was occasionally heard from, but Madero never regarded him ser iously until on Qctober 12 last, when the young man joined the rebels in Vera Cruz. He announced then that ha was the provisional president of Mexico. With a force of 300 rebels Diaz seized Vera Cruz, the comman der of 12 gunboats and 500 soldiers flocking to his banner. The ease with which this was accomplished so encouraged Diaz that he failed to guard his forces against the Federal troops and was completely surprised 15 days after he had affected the capture of Vera Cruz The engage ment was short and decisive. Diaz and all of his generals fell into the hands of the Federal soldiers. Diaz and his lieutenants were court martialed, and sentenced to death. The civil courts enjoined against the exe cution of the death sentence and the question was raised as to whether the civil courts would issue an order that would supersede the judgment of a military court. While this was being argued influ ential friends of the young revolu tionary leader reached Madero. The President, always a tender-hearted man, thought he could accomplish more byshowing leniency and he com muted the sentence of death to that of imprisonment, in the hope that Diaz would show gratitude for sparing his life and then exert his influence to ward bringing about a restoration of order in the troubled country. Diaz was taken to the prison at San JuEfh de Ulun on October 28, but in stead of being grateful to Madero he began to plot while in jail for an other uprising. The plot was discov ered and he was taken to Mexico City and placed in a penitentiary 10 miles from the city on January 1913. Duplin Enterprise Already we hear it whispered that Attorney-General T. W. Bickett will be the next Governor of the State. That he is of the right timber goes without saying. Some of the friends of Col. Walker Taylor, of Wilmington, have spoken of him to be the chief executive. Col. Taylor is one of the State's best and most useful business men. He. inn would make a good Governor. And there ure others mentioned. BATTLE IN MEXICO CITY. Many Killed in Seven-Hour Battle in Heart of City A Startling Inci dent. Mexfco City Dispatch, 11th. The Mexinn Federals and rebels fought a seven-hour drawn battle in the heart of the city today. When darkness put an end to the fighting neither side appeared to have gained any marked advantage. Estimates of the casualties ?un as high as one thousand, although ac curate information cannot be obtain ed at this time. The dead certainly will.be courted by the hundreds. Foreign residents for the roi nart kept under cover but three Americ ins are known to have suffered injuries from stniy bullets. They ai . Lloyd Osbourne, an author who was shot in the thitrh, Dr. R. 11. McCiosson, of Lincoln, Neb., and Mark Johnson, a negro of Madison, 111. President Madero and his Ministers expressed satisfaction tonight with the dav's work and ventured the opin ion that tomorrow would see the over powering of the enemy. General Felix Diaz, ir. his arsenal stronghold, appeared as definant as at any time since he w;s released from prison by the mutinous soldiers and promises a repetition tomorrow of the terrific bombardment, the fierceness of which is attested by the many partially destroyed struc tures within a radius of hulr a mile. The greatest loss of lif-j resulted in a charge of ru rales who, with a daring amounting to foolhardiness, moved ngainst a rebel battery which mowed down men and horfes. The execution done in the prolonged engagement of today whs sufficient, in the belief of Senor D-3 La Harra and the diplomatic representatives, to warrant a further attempt to pre vent another battle within the city. Ready for Battle. From above the arsenal, Gen. Felix Diaz floated his red "flag of deriance. The rebels appeared no less ready for the battle than the Federa's. Orders were issued to the detachments guard ing all approaches to the arsenal to retire on the appearance of an aimed force. But Diaz did not -ely entirely on his forces in the arsenal district. He detatched a few hundred men with artillery to a point in the north west of the city. These guns dominat ed Chapultepec, but they .vere held in readiness to strike the Federals in the flank or rear. The American Ambassador, Henry L. Wilson, published a warning to all Americans urging them not to go unnecessarily into the danger zone. From hundreds of buildings floated the flags of foreign nations and early in the day a crowd of foreigntrs con gregated in the cable office, sending messages to relatives and others abroad. Startling Spectacle. The attempt of Diaz to overthrow the power of Madero resulted in one of the most startling incidents in the history of the Western Continent. Street fighting has occurred in Mex ico in times past, but a battle in which the contending forces employed heavy artillery at a range frequently of less than half a mile, was a new and startling spectacle. Beyond that issued by the American Ambassador, practically no warning was given to non-combatants. As a matter of fact it was impossible to mark the limi tations of the danger zone. As the battle proceeded shells intended for the enemy four blocks away, often found lodgment in houses a mile or two distant. Rebel bullets flew from the center to the circumference of the capital making safety in any quarter only a relative term. WEBB BILL PASSES SENATE. Liquor Subject to State Laws Upon Crossing State Boundaries. Washington Dispatch, 10th. The Senate tonight passed the Webb liquor bill already passed by the House as a substitute for the Ken- yon Sheppard bill. The W7ebb bill would prohibit ship ments of intoxicating liquors from one State to another when intended to be received or sold in violation of the law of the State to which the shipment is made. Friends of the legislation will now seek to have the House concur in the Senate bill vhich differs from the bill passed by the House only in number. Should that be done the bills will not be considered in conference, but the measure passed by the Senate will go to the President for his signa ture. House Repasses Bill. Washington Dispatch, 11th. By a viva voce vote the House late today repassed the Webb bill to pro hibit the shipment of intoxicating li quors into "dry" States as it passed the Senate yesterday and thereby re moved a parliamentary obstruction which threatened to delay its final passage until another session of.

Birmingham, Ala., Dispatch, 10th. Criminal contempt of court pro ceedings against the Southern Whole sale tirocers Association ana o in dividuals for alleged violations of the anti-trust decree against the "Gro cers' Trust" more than a year ago, were begun here today by the Fed eral government. This is the first prosecution undertaken by the gov ernment against a "trust" for the alleged disobedience of a court's man date under the Sherman law. Despite the decree, the government declares in its petition filed in the United States District Court, that the defendants have employed coer cion, threats, intimidations and per suasion to prevent manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers from reduc ing prices. It is charged that they have sought to coerce and compel manufacturer and producer to mar ket his product through the medium of the wholesaler and have conspir ed to prevent direct transactions from producer to retailer or consumer. These are things forbidden by the decree, and the court here, which en tered it October 17th, 1911, is asked by Attorney General Wickersham to make an order requesting the follow ing named defendants to show cause why they should not be attached and punished for contempt of court: Southern Wholesale Grocers Asso ciation; J.
