Mexico City, May 27. ? The sen sational exit Of Diaz was punctuated by an incident worthy of the reputa tion *>f the aged Lion of Oaxaca. The train on which the agedex-prealdent was lledtiK from the country he ahd ruled for thirty years, was attacked by a force of 700 rebela near Tepay ahua. Diaz occupied the middle section of the train. B'ederal troopE fllleu the other two section*. When the train came to a atop, instead of or dering it to* retreat or mako a dash for this city, the aged farrlor leaped from his car with a pistol In each hand, followed by his son. Colonel Dias, and manouvred his inferior force of 300 men with such skill that the rebels were driven off, leav ing *mrU? dead on the field. The remainder of the trip was made without Incident.

SUPERIOR COURT Met this Morning la the Court Hot For Three Weeks* t?ni i The May term of Beaufort County Superior Court met at the Court house this morlnng for a term of three weeks.

' NO PARDON FOR BANKERS The refusal of President Taft to pardon Morse, of New York, and Walsh of Chicago, the tow big bank ers who were convicted and sent to prison Qnder the national banking laws, will meet with public approval. Mr. Taft says that the laws must be upheld, "when they affect the rich man even mora than when they affect the poor," or in other words that tfcere are usually more extenuating circumstances in the eases 0f the poor and Ignorant than In those of the rich and intelligent. This is true, and no man who has ever spent much time about the seats of judgment has failed to be moved at times by the look of utter bewll dement, and the absence of a single friendly soul, as some poor Ignorant creatures turns off with the maximum sentence which he must serve to the end without the means or friends to even secure him the benefit of any poaslble doubt of guilt. . Who though can offer excuse, or make successful plea for the rich and intelligent banker who misapplies and dissipates the funds entrusted by others to his care. Overdraw yodr. account and the check is dis honored, or if paid notice Is given Immediately to make It good, but on the other side men like Morse and Walsh are ready to take liberties with their depositors' money that means the sleeping awiy of the savings of years, and the dependence of thoee who toll. It is due the honest bankers that ths occasional crook should bear the penalty of his de'iberate misdeeds. "The love of money is the root of all ev*T," and Mr. Taft has a proper ee timate of the cases before him. ? "The. truth Is," said he, "th#t In 4fce mad rush for wealth In the last fe(W decades, the linos between profit from legitimate business and Improp er tain from undue use of trust con trol orer other people's property and money^d^epmetimes been dimmed, and ths InteVeet of eocUj^requiree that whenever opportunity offers, those charged with the enforcement of ths law should emphasize the dis tinction between honest business and dlshonsst breaches of trust." No one rejoices In the downfall of men, nor would the people here adopt the Chinese method of chopping off the head of every defautllhg banker, but Mr. Taft makes no mistake In not according to tehse two men a leniency .that would surely be denied others of poorer estate.

The result of th ?collision was that the buggy was turned over and Captain Farrow and tola little grand daugh ter Mary Respaas were thro vn to the ground. The llttfo girl waa unhurt but, Cap tain Farrow had hla back severely wrenched. The buggy waa turned over and both Captain Farrow and bis grand daughter were thrown out. Mr^. Thomas not thinking there was any one In the vehicle at the time was greatly surprised to hear the child scream. As soon aa the vehicle was struck ahe put on brealn and did what she could to avoid further accident. While the Injury to Captain Far row Is painful it is not thought to be aerlous. The little girl Mary Respess is getting on nicely notwithstanding her narrow eecape. For a time ttU eitaetxapbe called forth much excitement. Mrs. Thomas is much wrought up over the mtahap and has the sym pathy of the entire community. It la to be hoe*d that Captain Far row will soon reoover. Grind By An Mrs. C. With hicle Auto Collides T.
