LONDON, Editor. WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 3. 1913. The Mexican situation contin ues about the same, but the long er this' situation continues the weaker becomes the Huerta gov ernment. It is in great financial distress, without much money or That was quite a sad coinci-1 credit, and no hopes of getting dence last week when the presi- either. Besides this financial em dents of the two most important barrassraent' the Huerta faction is daily losing ground and the rebels, or constitutionalists, are daily gaining ground. There have been several battles, and in all of them the latter have been victorious, and they boast now that soon they will be able to capture the. city of Mexico and crush Huerta and his followers. In the meantime President Wilson is patiently and serenely waiting for the two contending factions to fight it out, and is well satisfied with his policy thus far pursued so successfully, and which policy has the approval of the great bulk of the people of the United States. lines of railway in this state died on the same day. They were Messrs. W. W. Finley, the president of the Southern Railway Com pany, and T.M.Emerson, the pres ident of the Atlantic Coast Line. Both died quite suddenly on the same day, the former from apo plexy after only a few hours, and the latter from acute indigestion in less than a day's sickness. The deaths of these railroad presidents is not only a great loss to their respective companies but also to this state, in whose devel opment theyx had done so much. The adjustment of our railroad rate troubles is said to be due chiefly to their efforts and influ ence with the directors of their companies, and it is4 feared that their deaths may interfere with that adjustment Mr. Finley was a Southern born man, a native of Mississippi, and did all he could, and that was very much, towards the development and upbuilding of the South. Congress met in regular ses sion last Monday, after the ad journment of the special or ex traordinary session which1 began last April and wa3 the longest special session ever held by any congress in the history of this Republic. When the special ses sion began last spring no one had any idea that it would re main in continuous session until the time for the meeting of the regular session which began on the first Monday in December. The tariff bill consumed so long a time that the special session was prolonged much more than was expected, and the Democrats deserve much credit for remain ing in session until that tariff bill was passed, and for their efforts to pass the currency bill also. There was so much diversity of opinions on the features of the currency bill that it did not 'fin ally pass the Senate, although so much time was takeu for its con sideration. Congressmen are now paid a certain salary annually without regard to the time they are in session, and they have certainly earned their salaries this year, for with only about one month's vacation they have been in ses sion all this year. Many years they have been in session not half of the year, and yet are paid their full salaries just as if thev had been in session all the year. It is fortunate for them this was not election year, for if it had been they would not have had time to canvass for renomination or re-election. . The football season closed last Saturday with the annual game between the army and the navy; that is, between the cadets of the military academy at West Point and the midshipmen at the naval academy at Annapolis, in which game the latter were de feated. .This game between the army and navy attracts more at tention than the games of any other teams, and is usually at tended (as it was this year) bv the President of the Um'ted States, members of his Cabinet, and many distinguished army and navy officers. The game this year was played (or rather fought) at New York and was witnessed by 42,000 persons, nearly twice the entire popula tion of this (Chatham) county. The games of most interest to North Carolinians were the two irames played between the teams of the University of North Caro lina and the University of Vir ginia at Richmond, and the game between the A. & M. College and Washington and Lee College at Norfolk. In the latter game the Virginians were defeated and in the former they were victorious tfotn games were played Thanksgiving Day. The annual session of the North Carolina Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, begins today at Oxford. and is presided over by Bishop McCoy, of Birmingham, Ala bama. The Conference met at Oxford in the year 1849 and since that time wonderful progress has been made in the growth of the church. The annual session of the Western North Carolina Con ference was held last week-at Charlotte, xfor in this state there are two conferences of the Meth odist church. Next week the Baptist State Convention will hold its annual meeting at Shelby. The annual sessions of the Methodist Con ferences and the Baptist State Convention are looked forward to every year with much inter est, representing as they do the largest religious denominations in this state. Although the present mem bers of the Western North Caro Una Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church. South, may still chew tobacco, yet all new ministers of that conference must eschew it. This was the decision of that conference at its annual session last week at Char lotte, when a resolution was adopted prohibiting all new min isters from using tobacco in any manner, but allowing the present ministers to continue its use. It is certainly not very encouraging to the American Tobacco Com pany for such a rule to be gener ally adopted. on Navy Needs More Officers. Washington, Nov. 29. The number of officers now in the navy is not sufficient to man all fighting ships in the event of a war with a foreign power, is the declaration made in the annual report of Rear Admiral Victor Blue, chief of the bureau of nav igation, made public today. He urged that Congress enact legis lation providing for a gradual redistribution of officers in the various grades to obviate a con dition that is growing worse. Admiral Blue points out that there now are 1,000 officers of the grades of junior lieutenant and ensign as compared with 750 officers above these grades and at the present rate of promotion of 40 each year the junior ensign reaches the grade of lieutenant at an age at which officers are now promoted to captain. " Admiral Blue says a circular letter is being sent to the princi pals of high schools v to ascertain if the examination for admission to the naval academy is such that the ordinary high school stu dent should be capable of pass ing. Members of Congress also aro being aided in their selection of candidates by the naval med ical officers who conduct unoffi cial examinations of boys bear ing letters signed by the mem bers. Recruiting for. the navy last year was unsatisfactory until June when there was an unpre dented number of enlistments in large part due to the approach ing European cruise of the bat tleship fleets.

' Three Fatal Accidents. Yadkinville, Nov. 28. While out hunting Wednesday after noon, Farris Caudle, son of Rev. Thomas Cauale. ot Mt. Nebo, of thii county, was shot by his own gut, and from which wound he died in a very short time. The story goes that young Caudle, who was 17 years old, was stand ing still and placed his shot gun jn a stump, which happened to be decayed and started to turn round when the gun slipped from its place and the hammer struck the side of the snag, firing the contents of the gun into the left side of the body' barely missing his heart. The third person to die from a gunshot wound in this county within the past 24 hours, died a few miles above Yadkinville, on the farm of J. G. Ray, when the twin brother of Calvin Jenkins accidentally shot and killed him, literally blowing the top of his head to pieces. They were stand ing on the porch at their home playing with a shotgun, and in some manner the gun was fired and the entire load went into the mouth of Calvin Jenkins, and his head was almost blown to atoms. The boys were about 18 years old. Hr. Hobson's Ointment Heals Itchy Eczema.
