WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5. 1916.
The pursuit of Villa by cur
army into Mexico has been at
tended with severe hardships
both by man and beast. Al
though it has not been a danger
ous expedition, in which manv
men were killed or wounded, yet
it has been one of many hard
ships, from which both the sol
diers and their horses have suf
fered greatly. Neither men nor
animals were accustomed to any
such severe hardships, having
spent most of their time in camp
or comfortable quarters. Of
course they had undergone some
practice marches on a limited
scale, yet none to be compared
to this expedition which they
were so suddenly called upon to
undertake.
Nearly all the march was made
through a sandy desert, or rug
ged mountain trails unfit for
travel. On the very first day
the men were almost blinded with
the suffocating dust kicked up
by a large body of cavalry in a
sandy desert, and the heat was
intense, causing many men and
horses to give up the first day.
Water was very hard to get for
either man or beast, and the
thirst of both was torturing.
Every man had his canteen full
of water when the expedition
started, but that soon gave out,
and on the first day the water in
the canteens became so hot as to
be almost unfit to drink. Few
of our readers can understand or
appreciate the hardships and
sufferings endured by the men
and beasts on this expedition,
and therefore the more credit do
the suffering soldiers deserve for
their patient endurance and their
zeal in their pursuit of Villa and
his bandit3.
This expedition recalls some
of the notable cavalry expedi
tions made by the Confederates
dunng the War Between the
States. Of course this cannot
be compared in its danger and
suffering to many of those expe
ditions. For instance, there was
the wonderful expedition of Gen.
John H. Morgan with about 2,
500 cavalry across the Ohio river,
passing around and through the
suburbs of the populous city of
Cincinnati and spreading terror
among the people of Ohio, and
easily keeping at baj and dis
persing thousands of federal sol
diers sent to capture him, until
at last, his men and horses being
utterly exhausted, he was forced
to surrender to overwhelming
numbers. The first most notable
cavalry expedition of our war
was that of Gen, Stuart, in June,
1862, entirely around McClellan's
army on the peninsula below
Kichmond. With about 2,500
men he rode entirely around that
great army of 125.000 men and
returned with the loss of only
one man. The expeditions of
Gen. Forrest and Wheeler in
m tt-
lennessee ana iventucKy were
wonderful exploits and have
never been surpassed in any age
or country. We will not here at
tempt even to refer to them sep-
JL1 1 JL A. 1 1
arateiy. Dut mey were or sucn a
character as to give Forrest the
name of the "Wizzard of the
West."
Every old Confederate soldier
will readily recall very many
marches on which both
the in-
-fantry and the cavalry suffered
severe hardships, such as would '
seem now incredible And it j
must be remembered that the'
Confederate soldiers had so little :
to eat that it would seem impos -
sible for any man in their condi
tion could have endured such pri
vations and hardships. In re
calling these hardships of the
Confederate soldiers we do not
wish to be misundarstood as un
derestimating the hardships en
dured so heroically by our sol
diers in this expedition into
Mexico, for which due credit
should be given them, and which
not many persons have appreci
ated. Although the war in Europe!
has now been m progress for
more tnan twenty months, yet
there does not now seem to be
on 'nfvMTipet for sn eariir anrt
Thefighting is now as desperate
and bloody as ever before. In
fact during the past month the
fighting, especially around Ver
dun, in France, has been partic
ularly desperate and sanguinary.
Both sides have there lost
heavily every day for a month or
more, "and the fighting has been
desperate, the soldiers of both
sides displaying great gallantry.
Neither side has made any ma
terial gains, notwithstanding the
killing of so many thousand
brave men.

and continues to be, much
fighting in Asia. The Russians
have almost overrun Persia and
p-mmiPiWl thnr onnntrv and
there has been much fighting in
Mesopotamia and along the Ti
gris and Euphrates rivers, and
even in the territory where the
Garden of Eden is said to have
been. Turkey has played no in
significant part in this war and
her troops have fought well. So
far from us is that scene of op
erations that few persons here
know or care much about them,
but if they were happening at
any other time they would en
gage the attention of the civil
ized world.
Villa Not Wounded.
El Paso. Texas, April 3.
Francisco Villa, unvvounded and
accompanied by only eight men,
was Satevo, 50 miles south of
Chihuahua City, two days ago,
according to information from
Mexican sources usually reliable.
According to a Mexican, whose
reliability is vouched for Amer
ican business men, he says that
Villa has never taken part in any
fighting with either American or
Carranza troops; that he left the
main body of his troops in the
Guerrero district with orders to
oppose as far as they could the
American advance. At the same
time the peons were instructed
to give information that was
false. The storv of Villa being
wounded was carefully concoct
ed for the express purpose of
misleading General Pershing and
Col. Dodd into the belief that
the bandit was hiding in the
mountains and thereby inducing
them to split their forces into
small searching parties who
would waste their time in the
wild Sierras, while Villa was
making his way safely south
ward. Continuing this man said:
"If they catch up with Villa
before he gets into the Torreon
district they ought to be able to
kill or capture him, but if he is
able to join forces with Canuto
Reyes they will have a difficult
task ahead of them."
The Richest Farm State
From Extension Farm News.
Oklahoma country people are
worth $830 apiece upon an aver
age, counting men, women and
children. The average in North
Carolina is only $322. Our per
acre crop values in 1909 were
more than double those of Okla
homa; $22.28 against $10.95.
Why, then, are our farmers poor
er ?
For one thing. Oklahoma is a
se'f-feeding farm state. In the
census year she produced bread
and meat enough for home con
sumption, and had a $20,000,000
surplus to market abroad,
Oklahoma was the only state
in the cotton belt that had stand
ard, staple food crops to sell in
the census year. She is both the
youngest and the richest of our
commonwealths.
Colored Lynching Party.
The New Bern Journal says
that over in Fayetteville a few
days ago a mob composed entire
ly of negroes tried to lynch one
of their own race and, had not
the whites interfered, they would
have probably carried out their
plans. There are certain parts
: of the country where this state

considerable doubt, but that

Liars on the Border.
The New Bern Journal says:
The way some of those liars down
on the Mexican border are see
ing things and then sending out
reports about what they saw, is
becoming monotonous. If a few
of them were clapped into con
finement for a few weeks, a
whole "passel" of those alarm
ing reports would not be sent
back to this section to scare the
people half to death.

A Peculiar Well in Florida.
From Geological Survey Bulletin.
In their investigation of the
wells and underground waters of
Florida the geologists of " th-. Uni
ted States Geological Survey have
noted many interesting things.
Among these is a well at We
laka, on St. Johns river, from
which two kinds of water are
obtained;
Tiis well is 309 feet deep. The
length of the casing is 110 feet.
The well was first drilled to 160
feet, and from this depth ordi-
nary "sulphur" water was ob-
I tained. The drill was then car-
;ried to a aepth of 3Q9 feet, where
jt encountered a strong mineral
j water, having a disagreeable,
saltv taste. In order to use both
kinds of water an inner tubing herd but first 6t the week tnev
was run nearly to the bottom of fought through the wire fence a

joke played on visitors is to give tween a.;600 pohder and a 250

ter in the first glass and to re
place it with the brine in the sec
ond. Not more than half a dozen
wells of this kind are known in
the country, but there is no rea
son why similar wells can not be
obtained in regions where wa
ters in the upper strata differ
from those lying deeper.'

From the Raleigh Times.
Monday is the first anniversary
o' the most damaging blizzard
in the history of Raleigh. All
night long, as the temperature
fell along with the snow, until
the thermometer reached a mini
mum of 32, trees groaned under
the burden; telephones popped
and snapped and fell to the
ground. Limbs bent low. The
lights went Out.
The damage in this vicinity
w'll never be known.- It ran up

roads leading to Raieigh poles
were lying prostrate on the sides
oc. the tracks and across them.

Why Should Women Vote? :
Why. should women vote? That is
the' question' that is' ringing- from
ocean'to ocean and reverberating .-from
the Canadian' boundary to the .Mexi
can border;,. ' It" is the . mission ,of : a
newpaper to give the news and. the
action .5at , the . Texas Farmers' Union
in opposing woman's suffrage when
that question was recently before the
Texas. .legislature is significant as
representing the attitude of the or
ganized .plowmen. t We reproduce in
part the, argument presented by Hon.
W. D. Lewis, president of the Texa3
Farmers' Union,; in opposing the bill:
T ' is Let atifvins to note that it is
t th farmer.s wife who is clamoring
for the ballot. She : is too busy
-trying, .to make happier homes, mold
ing: the minds of future citizens and
sharing with her husband the care,
of", life, to indulge, in political gossip.
The ballot will give her no relief from
drudgery, give no assistance in cloth
ing the children or bring to the horns
additional comforts, conveniences or
opportunities in life. It is, as a rule,
the city woman promoted to idlsnes .3
by prosperity, who is leading , the suf
fragette movement.
"From many standpoints, perhaps
a woman has as much right to vota
as a man. So' has she as much 'right
'to plow as a man; she has as much
riRht to work in a factory as a man
vshe has as much right to shoulder a
inusket as a man, but we would rather
she would not do so from choice
arul we regret that necessity ofttiines
compels her to earn a living by en
gaging in gainful occupations. We do
not consider misfortune a .quaiifica
t3on for suffrage or a business acci
dent a Teason for granting franchise.
We are opposed to woman at the
. ballot box the same as we are op
posed to woman in the field, in the
factory or in the army and for. the
elf-same reasons. We had rather
.ee her plant flowers than sow wheat;
gather bouquets than pick cotton and
rear children than raise political is
sues, although she may have as much
right to do one as the other.
Opposed to Unsexing Humanity.
"Sex qualification for suffrage
may
have its apparent inconsistencies. No
general rule adjusts itself perfectly
to all conditions. It is a favorite ar
gument advanced by the proponents of
woman's suffrage that many cultivated
r.nd noble womsa aro far more ca-pSr
ble of intelligently exercising sov
ereignty than a worthless negro, tut
the South never was anxious for
nesn'o suffrage, and while culture and
refinement, and even morality, are
desirable virtues, they are not tho
only qualifications for franchise.
"The primary, Inherent and insep
arable fitness for suffrage is support
ing a family. The plow handle, the
forge and the struggle for bread af
ford experience necessary to properly
mark the ballot. Government is a
great big business and civilization
from the very beginning assigned
v.om.n the home and man the busi
ness affairs of life.
"There has been much freakish" leg
islation enacted during the past de
cade that no doubt appeals to woman's
love for the ridiculous, but to under-.
-Sake to unsex the- human race by law
Is -the height of legislative folly and
a tragedy to mankind.
"We are opposed to the equal rights
of woman we want her to ever re
main our superior. We consider
woman's desire to seek man's level
the yellow peril of Twentieth Century
civilization.
"Woman is the medium throua
which angels whisper their messages
to mankind; it is her hand that plants
thoughts in the Intellectual vineyard;
it is through her heart -that hope, love
and sympathy overflow and bless man
kind. Christ the liberator of woman
kind was satisfied to teach the lessons
of life and He was a man, He chosa
to rule over human hearts and re
fused worldly power and men followed
after Him, women washed His feet,
little children climbed upon His kneea
and the Ruler of the universe said
that in Him He was well pleased.
Can woman find a higher calling?"
TfiEMSSTOCLS:
When ; Themistocles was asked by
his host at a dinner party to enter
tain the guests by playing the lute, he
replied that he could not play the
fiddle, but that he could make a small
town a great city. We have in this
nation many politicians who are good
"fiddlers," but they cannot make a
small town a great city. We are over
run with orators who can play upon
the passions cf the people, but they
can't put brick and mortar together.
We need builders.
Let those who hunger and thirst for
power understand that the highest
glory of a statesman is to construct,
and that it is better for a man that he
should build a, public highway than
that he should become Governor, of a
state, and that he start a plow than
that he become the author of a law.
The true test of statesmanship is the
plow and the hammer, so let those
who would govern, first build.
