This, however, probably will be eclipsed by the nresent veal's showing. This valuation is an increase of hnut SS.rooo.OOO ov the value of 1913. hitherto the highest ever record d. Tha increase occurred in the face of a decline in cotton from 12.5 cents a pound for the 1913 crop to 7 unt a fnr 191. Te total value of the 1913 cotton croc, estimated at $346,000,000, was $283,000,000 more than the 1914 crop, although the latter was 14 per cent greater in quantity. "The total agricultural exports in the f'scal year ended June 30, 1915, TiriptirallTr the first vear of the wrr." says thereport, "were $1,470, nnn ooft which is an increase of $356 OflOPOO, or 32 per cent over those of the preceding year and or $4,uuu, 000. or noarlv 42 per cent, over the of the five years 1910-14 V'ht is needed more, perhaps, than riv'hirer else, the Secretary says, is fin' 'nrrpioe in meat animals.

The United States infantrymen pror ed themselves to be as good marks men as the Mexicans did in Vera Cruz and there was not a Mexican who put himself in range of the infantrymen fire during the fight that did not fall with four or five bullet holes in him when Col. Sage gave instruc tions to company A' to return the fire of the Villa forces which had been opened on the American town of Nogales. The men of company A threw themselves prone on the street in front of the custom house at the international line and opened fire on the Mexican troops for six minutes. Itwas said we kept a continual volley at the Mexicans and it sounded like a bunch of machine guns in action. A few Villa troops who had started the trouble and had not taken pre caution to seek cover in time fell at the first volley. One Mexican soldier hm behind the Southern Pacific de pot of Mexico and had taken two or three shots before he was discov ered. Corporal Cobb pointed him out to the men of the first squad of Co A. which the writer is a member of, and Col Sajre ordered us to kill him and the fire began again and when he made his next appearance a doz en or more American Dunets maae holes in him. Col. Sage discovered a Mexican sniper in the window of a house and when he raised his gun to shoot the whole first platoon of Co.

The Viistors got their fill of shoot ing and fled from the town. If, they had not there would not have been i live Mexican left in Nogales, So norat. The Carranza forces came into a difficulty through a mistake. Almost soon as the Villistors had fled a Carranza cavalry advance guard ap nenred over one of the Nogales hills lid not knowing the location of the Sird'fy3nd taktngthen'Nmth.-cav---Iry troops which were held in re tvo near the boundary as Carranza "v-ces, opened fire. The American -ifnntrynien returned the fire and he firr,t ten Carranza horsemen to ppear were shot down. Another was seen to ride over the hill at a break neck speed and his horse was shot from under him. The rider arose to his feet and threw his arms in the air. This caused the order to cease firing. At nearly the same time some of Carranza's men were seen crawling up a hill on the east of Nogales and a sharpshooter killed the first one who appeared on the hill. Then they called "Vive Car. ranza," and then Col Sage ordered every man to cease firing. One Mexican ran as fast as he could with his arms in the air to the international line where the Ameri cans were, and told them that they were Carranza forces. He apologized for shooting across the line. During the battle, which lasted an hour and a half, the American troops were without entrenchments of any kind. Col. Sasre and the officers in command of the company were with out cover of any kind, standing by the troops directing the fire at the Mexican snipers, lhe remainder oi the United States troops were held in reserve and they were all biting their tongues to get in the mixup with the Mexicans. I was on the ground firing for all I was worth. ELMER HELGREN, Co. A, 12th Inf. Yes, sir, P. A. puts a razor edge on your smoke-appetite-division that's nobby enough to be photographed!

Lumberton, R. F. D. 5, Dec. 20 The weather has been fine for Bait ing down pork and the brethren hive been making use of it. Mr. A. H. West recently dressed two pigs. One was 2 years old and it weighed 411 lbs., while the other was only 10 months old and weighed 254 lbs. Mr. M. E. Phillips dressed 5 that gave him a little more than 1300 pounds, Messrs. A. S. Pitman and W. H. Smith killed two at about 15 months of age that weighd 333 each, and the writer killed two at 15 months of age that were scrub and Poland China mixed, but they av eraged 278 pounds after being dress ed. Several others have killed some very nice ones but we have not the figures of their weierhts at hand. The present condition of several of our public roads is cause for much complaint. With the very large amount of money the taxpayers have paid into the treasury for road im provement it would seem that some real concrete manifestations of it would follow. It is a source of real pleasure to know that Rev. Mr. Seabolt is allowed to rema'n on his present field anoth er year. We filled our appointment at Oak ton Saturday and Sunday and were greeted by our usual much-interested congregations. Among the visitors Sunday we were pleased to notice Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Wallace, who have moved into that community from Dillon, S. C. Mr. K. C. Stone who has been a student at Buies Creek -since its fall opening, is spending his Christmas vacation with hi3 parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Stone. Miss Bes"sie Stanton who has charge of the pub lic school at Oakton left Friday to spend the holidays with home folks at Rowland. The Sunday school will have a Christmas tree at the church Friday night, and there will be a Christmas trre with appropriate ; exercises at Cedar Grove church, Friday night. We are told that Christmas as a 'estival is older than Christianity and more widely spread. In pagan days men kept at this season the festival of the new birth of the sun, rejoic. ing that its "return march" would bring promise of renewed warmth and vegetation. Among the Romans at this season no war-was declared and no capital executions were air lowed. The hymns of Saturn were SKIN DISEASES OBSTINATE But they can be cleared away by purifying the blood and building up the system with Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy. N. W. WInton, Ahoskia, N. C had a severely affected with, skin disease. Doctors' medicines failed to do any good, but two bot tles of the Remedy made perfect cure. "I cannot say too much in praise of Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy." he writes. Mrs. Joe Person's Remedy is pro nounced by many the best blootf medicine in the world. By purify ing the blood and renewing the health and strength of the body, it drhres away rheumatism, indigestion, riorvoua dyspepsia, scrofula, eczem ad other ill9 that come from bad Mood. Your druggist should have It; rf not send us one dollar for largo bttle. Remedy Sales Corporation, CWlotte, N. C. Mrs. Joe Person's Wash should be used m connection with the Remedy for the cure of sores and the relief of inflamed and congested surfaces. It is especially valuable for women, and should always be used nl" erations. and the Christmas card, the Yule log, plum pudding and mine pie came from England. The custom of decorallng the churches is said. to have come from Bible times and the use of holly is from the heathen. They would hang the green boughs about their houses to shelter the fairies and wood sprites. We sincerely wish the editor of The Robesonian and all the great host of readers the very best Christmas ever, and extend to all the compli ments of the season. J. M. FLEMING. D. D. FRENCH, P.
