Hide World Has llccn Cut Off from Communication Suiiduy Wan a bad Day Story of the Sit uation. The strongest censorship on all dispatches has been established at Mexico. Government officials took charge of the cable office shortly after 5 o'clock Saturday evening and ruthlessly discarded messages of correspondents to their papers. Code messages and all messages containing any expression whatever that might be construed into a sug gestion of the Important happenings lu the Capital came under the ban and were promptly confiscated by the censor and his assistant. . Nevertheless several dispatches of a somewhat detached nature escaped the vigilance of the censorship and au early bulletin was flashed through that the armistice, signed ut 2 o'clock Sunday morning, had been broken and both sides were fighting savagely. The Mexican Government was un able, however, to shut off the offi cial dispatches of the diplomatic representatives but as these are sent In cipher considerable delay is being experienced because of the time oc cupied In translation and the fear is expressed that many things may occur In the Mexican capital det limental to the foreign residents be fore the exact situation is learned by the home governments. Brief dispatches giving a general Idea of the situation prior to the fresh outbreak of hostilities were receievd by the censors and al lowed to pass along to their respec tive destinations but the Govern ment apparently is determined that not a word of the fighting which has torn the city asunder for eight days shall be communicated to the out side world If that can be prevented. The Government has not only shut the world off from Mexico City, but so far as the public Is concerned, has shut Mexico City off from the world, including the whole of the Mexican Republic. News dispatches sent Satuday night from the United States to Mexico City were either refused or held up, the Intention evi dently being that the residents tn the Capital shall not be informed of the measures which have been un dertaken by the American and oth er. governments to protect "their 'in teresta. Since the expulsion of Diaz, the president who ruled Mexico for so many years, more or less war has been In progress. The common sol diers seem to know nor care little as to which side they fight on. The present Dial Is a nephew of 'the former president. The following wilt be found to be a complete his tory of the situation up to the pres ent: A part of the Mexican troops sta tloned at the City of Mexico, mini tiled on the 9th. For leaders they took from the prisons In which they were confined two generals who had led former revolts. One of these was General Felix Dint whose little uprising at Vera Cruz last Novem her quickly collapsed, leavlnd Diaz a prisoner in Madero's hands. He was at that time tried by court mar tial and sentenced to de-ath, but the death sentence was commuted to Im prisonment by the clemency of Ma dero. The other released leader was General Bernardo Reyes who had led a revolt against President Madero In the latter part of 1911. ii nd had capitulated on December 25th of that year. Dial and Reyes took command of the mutinous troops and called upon Madero to resign. In response Madero put the city under martial law, announc ed that he would ask Congress to authorize a suspension of the Con stitutlon guarantees throughout the Republic, nnmed General Huer- ta as post commander, and put him self at the head of a body of troops. The day was marked by four engage ments, the most formidable being an attack by the mutineers lu the even ing upon the national palace, the headquarters of the President and his ministry. The president led a force against the invaders from a side street. In this engagement General Reyes was shot in the head and killed. Later In the evening the President and his min isters withdrew from the palace, giving the Impression that the gov ernment was giving way and the President In flight. On the follow ing morning however, the President was back In the palace and Senora Madero was In the neighborhood of the castle of Chapultepec. The pa lace was guarded by 800 men with eight or more heavy guns, and the President was claiming to have 1, 600 men upon whom he can depend, and as being confident that the government would triumph, Diaz, sole head of the mutiny since the death of Reyes, has fortified himself In the arsenal, which he captured on the 9th. The Federals and the mu tineers fought a seven-hour drawn battle In the heart ef the city on the 11th. Estimates of the casual ties run as high as 1.000. Three Americans were wounded by stray bullets, among them Lloyd Osborne, the writer, the stepson of Robert Louis Stevenson. A young white woman, who gave her name as Sarah Lyons of Murphy left a young baby at the home of a colored citizen in Canton a few days ago and then disappeared. The horrible part of the story is that at last account the child was still tn charge of the negroes, no white per son having offered to take charge of tt. STOKY OF INTERESTING 1.1 IK KILLED l!Y A FA I.I. The 1'm and Downs of I'ncle Wil liam Fundorliurk -YA i nt 1 liriiugh the War and in His Old Ae is. a Strikinic Figure. Written for The Journal. Away back In the early part of the nineteenth century there was born tn the northwestern portion of Ches terfield county, S. C. a sturdy youngster whose eyes first saw the light of day on the 16th of Septem ber, 1834, eyes that were destined to see many changes take place in the land of his birth. This boy was William H. Funderburk, the son of James and Elizabeth Funderburk. He had one sister older than he was. He was raised on the farm and did all kinds of farm work which tended to develop in him splendid physical sterength and endurance. On the 6th of December, 1855, he was married to Sarah Anne Man gum. To them were born five chil dren: Mrs. H. M. Baucom of Union county, N. C; Mr. S. A. Funderburk of Dudley, S. C; Mr. 1. C. Funder burk of Claxton, Ga., .Mr. W. R. Funderburk of Pageland, S. C, and a daughter over whose grave the grasses have been growing for many years. When the dark days of the '60s came he enlisted under Cnp:aln T. V. Walsh of Sumter March 19. 1862. and served four months on picket guard between Charleston and Sa vannah. He was In Cavalry Co. I, Tth South Carolina Regiment, dray's Brigade. From Charleston they re ceived orders from headquarters in Virginia to report there. Leaving at once, they went by the way of Columbia, S. C, and Charlotte, N. C, taking a few days of rest at ech place. They were 20 days on the road to Virginia, each man with a sword and an old musket hung around his neck. They were sent to Malvern Hill and from there they were scattered about for picket duty again; also they did some scouting. The first battle he was tn was Wil liamsburg. His next battle was the half way station between Richmond and Petersburg. The third was at Futz's Mill, where his younger brother was wounded. They had been ordered to He down. This younger brother, whose ijame is Jer- re M. Funderburk, was In the habit of calling himself "pappy's boy." While they were lying there wait ing for they knew net what, jerre raised up his head and said "Pap py's boy Is getting scared." Just as he said it a yankee ball entered his mouth, breaking his Jaw bone and disabling him for the balance of the war. William H. and a com rade carried him to the litter and returned at once to their posts of duty. "Right then and there." Bays he. "I wanted to fight." His next battle was at Karne s Farm and the fifth and last was at Cold Harbor. The first four battles, he says, were Southern victories, but at Cold Harbor, he said, "We got away from there the best we could." After Cold Harbor, they were put on pick et duty again. After being at home on furlough, they started back to canto walking to Monroe, but Just before reaching there William H., his brother Ellison and Moss Wal ters of Union, N. C were captured by the yankeeB. That was March 1, '65. They took them within a few miles of Fayettevllle, N. C. He relates with a smile a trick he Dlaved on a blue coat: One night they were all lying down surround ed by yankees who were guarding the captured Confederates, lie was lying near a blue coat and smelling something that smelled good to a hungry fellow he quietly cut the striniss that held a snck nrouna the yankee's neck so quietly that the yank slept steadily on while ne ate and enjoyed as nice a roasted duck as he had ever seen. Before they reached Fayettevllle. however. Wade Hampton and Wheel er charged the came one morning before sunrise and took him and 156 more boys In gray. Right here he tells of another occasion on which he got a goose. He got It but could not get any water to wash It with, so he cleaned It as best he could and hung it by its feet before the fire to cook. Walking out, he saw Colonel Haskell sitting on his horse eating a piece of fat bacon and bread. "Colonel," he said, "how would you like to have a piece of roasted goose?" "I'd like It all right." answered the Colonel. On bringing him a piece the Colonel said: "Where did you get this goose?" "Eat, Colonel, and ask no questions," was his reply and the Colonel ate on. He also told how he made up dough on a piece of clean green bark that he stripped from a tree. Well, when Wheeler nnd Hampton got them they were brought home, but on March 28th they started back tn camp and got as far as Danville, Va., but he was so sick with fever he had to be sent to a hospital, and while in there he was told by the doctor that the yankees were com ing so he escaped from the hosplt a' and got away from the place. One time being captured was enough for him. He reached Lexington, N.C., where he was Joined by his other two b'others, Ellison and Thomas. While there they got news of Lee's sur render. They started home walk ing, but William was not sble to walk all the way, so the brothers came on and went back for him. On rearhlng home he found that every building on his place had been burn ed and the yankees had taken his horse and all the meat and flnur his wife had. He traded his only cow for an old horse that had to be Mr. Jones, Workman at New !. Mit, l-ost His Footing, fell to Floor and His lhad and Shoul ders Wire I In km. Mr. J. E. Jones, a workman en gaged on the new depot building here, fell to the floor from the ceil ing beam Thursday, bis head being crushed and his shoulders broken. He lived three hours after receiving the fearful wound. Exactly why he fell seems not to be known. He bad gone from the floor to the ceil ing beams, which are thirteen feet from the floor. Ropes ran across these beams from the top of the roof, used as a derrick. It is sup posed that in walking his foot caught in one of the ropes and he pitched backward. The fact that he was standing erect and his upper body made a wide circle, made the fall a terrific one. The skull was broken and also both shoulders. The deceased was a native of Cleveland county but had lived for many years at Knoxville. Tenn. His wife died there and his four grown children live In the west. He was sixty-two years old. About six years ago he came to Monroe, and was later married to Mrs. Benjamin Helms of North Monroe. The re mains were burled Saturday at the Helms burying ground, Kev. Mr. Snider holding services. Mr. Sni der gives The Journal the follow ing article: "He first Joined the Presbyterian church, but later joined the Baptist church and was baptized. Since becoming a member of the Baptist church he had been a consistent member, and was elected a deacon by the church and has made a faith ful officer. The church and pastor have sustained a great loss, we hope bur loss is his gain. We extend our sympathy to relatives and friends." E. C. Snider. helped up nearly every morning. But with old time Southern grit he went to work and made a crop with that horse and from then on he ac cumulated more to raise his chil dren with. Several years after the war he taught every fall what we now know as an old field school, taking some of his pay In anything the patrons could give, for there was not much money to pay for any thing with. ...Hit fife died July It. 1909, and on ji:i. 1, 1911, he married Mrs. Flora Fincher of Rock-JHll, B. C... He is Indeed a remarkable man of his age. Says he has not been sick enough since the war to be con fined to his bed for a single day And there are still many black hairs In his head. He is as straight as an arrow, neither has his mind lost Its Dower to reason and remember. He tended 11 acres last year, did all the plowing himself and made 75 bushels of corn and two bales of cotton. He cuts and hauls all of his wood and has already plowed up his gardeii preparing to plant the seed for 1913. He attends church regularly, hav ing been a member of the Baptist church since 1865, nnd takes trips on the train when and wherever he pleases. He says he didn't surren der nnd tho yankees haven t whip ped him yet. Says he would like to go to Gettysburg, but doesn t want to meet the yankees. He says I" there should ever come a war be tween the races or should a foreign country try to come over the Uni ted States he is ready to take up anus again. He Is proud to see the Democrats come into power again and thinks oodrow llson Is a good and great man. He takes nn Interest In all the new happenings and keeps In touch with the times. It Is most interesting to sit In his pleasant home and talk with him about the many events of his long life. It goes without saying that he never led a dissipated life. His mental and physical strength shows thnt. We are proud of "Uncle William." Such a life ns his Is the backbone of any community. And It was such men as he who laid the founda tion for the prosperous new South we now live In and enjoy. May his dear old face be seen among us for many years yet and when the roll Is called up yonder mny he be there with the dear old comrades he used to know nnd love so well and ready to answer "Here."

Iivo-third of the Session ;nc Not as Many Hills Pussed us I v. mil at tliis Time- but Tiny Will Come in Ijiter Six Months School Term and Compulsory At ti iiiluiwo Likely Itoiid lue to Take ( are of 1H fit It. With 39 of the 60 days of the North Carolina General Assembly behind them, the legislators find themselves with considerable less business disposed of comparatively. than on this day of the session two years ago. There have been 166 tills ratified to date this session, 125 less than on this date of the last session. There have been 1142 bills introduced in the House, com pared with 935 this date last ses sion and 640 bills In the Senate compared with 674 two years ago. Numbers of members have beeu expressing the hope that the Assem bly could adjourn by March 4th, to attend the Inauguration but it is conceded now that there can be no adjournment this side of March 8th and several days thereafter may be required to wind up the work. Then there will be the special session next Fall for the constituional amendments. The Senate by a rising unanimous vote passed the bill for the estab lishment of a home for wives aid widows of Confederate veterans, Sen! at or Ivie having withdrawn his sub stitute for $15,000 to be appropriat ed annually for pensions so the needy wives and widows might be left with their kindred. He will introduce the pension bill as a supplemen tary measure. The Nimoeks bill to restrict the sale of concealed weapons to per sons over 16 years old having cer tificates of permission from county or town authorities passed final reading after another long discus sion. The House passed the Senate bill placing $5,000 at the disposal of the Corporation Commission for li tigation before the Inter-State Com merce Commission against freight discriminations against North Caro lina. The Senate resolution of gratitude to Hon. Ashley Horn for his gift to the State of a manument to North Carolina women of the confederacy was adopted by the House by a una nimous rising vote. The Senate and House passed great numbers of private and pub lic, bills clearing the calendars, none of the blila being more than local Interest. Mr. Bellamy Introduced in the Senate today bills to allow convicts sentenced to work on the roads a deduction of time for good behavior, and authorizing commissioners of counties to provide for destitute families of convicts. The bill providing a six months school term has been favorably passed upon by the committees and will no doubt become a law If the legislators think they can find the money to finance It. The compul sory altendanse act Is also likely to pass. This is In a mild shape and provides that children living I wo miles and a half or more may ne exempt, also those who cannot pay for books nnd clothing, and those whose labor is absolutely nec essary In the support of the fam ily. Most of the Stales already have this law, and the South Caro lina legislature also seems likely to lass a similar one this year. The conference with the railroad officials by the commission appoint by the Governor to see if the roads would voluntarily take steps to pre vent rate discrimination against towns In the State, was not a suc cess. Another conference Is to be held and thi n the State will carry the matter to the courts if nothing le done. The search and seizure law ask ed for by the prohibition forces In crder to make It easier to catch blind tigers, has passed the House and will likely pass the Senate. The Webb bill passed by Congress prevents liquor shipped Into the State in violation of State laws re ceiving protection of Interstate commerce. While this does not l-revent a man's ordering whiskey for his own use, it does give the State authorities the right to seize liquors thnt are Intended for sale or distribution. The Senate Committee on Public Health will report favorably the measure to provide for the furnish ing of diptherla antitoxin at cost. The Senate Judiciary Committee will vote next Wednesday afternoon at 3:30 on a Torrens system bill. There are now two bills under con sideration: one by Senator Daniel, embodying the recommendations of the North Carolina Bar Association, providing for optional registration of land titles nnd putting the ma chinery of operation In a special land court; the other by Senator Ivie, differing In thnt It creates no new court, but places the control with the Superior Courts. It Is thought that the Ivie bill will be acceptable to all parties. Senator Phnrr's bill to authorlz the City cf Charlotte to subscribe for and purchase stock in the Char lotte Fair Association wns acted upon favorably by Senate Judiciary Committee No. 1. That committee will also report favorably the Mil to enable coun ties to vote bonds and special tax for thp establishment and main tenance of public hospitals and training schools for nurses. The same committee turned down Senator Peterson's bill to a in nil the UMiry law of 1907 so as to make It a misdemeanor to charge usuri ous rate of Interest on loans and t' iiimissioiii r Wnis.il suk Warn ing tit Southern Cotton (iroucr. Columbla.S.C, Feb. 16. A warn ing to the fanners of the South to bold down their acreage in cotton for the coming year it they wish to keep cotton at its present price was issued today by E. J. Watson. Com missioner of Agriculture, Commerce and Industries, in his capacity as president of the Southeru Cotton Congress. Mr. Watson refers to his and Other fights last year for re ducing the acreage and the benefi cial results in the way of increased price for the staple but he warns the farmers not to listen to the song of 13 cents and plaut the face oi the earth in cotton. Says he: "The danger to you and yours is greater by far than last year. It you must have a larger acreage on ycur farm put the increase in coru and other food crops." In another part of his statements he says: "In this Stale I have endeavored to get the General As sembly to enact a simple cotton statistic gathering law that will force facts on the world when they should be there, not when it is too late, this measure, which would aid l:i some degree, is not yet a law. Oklahoma already has it and your organizations have all asked for it id every cotton State. "Again let me beg of you to watch your acreage, and let good sensa instead of lack of Judg ment guide you In the planting of your crop this year. If you don't ou will face In the fall a situation that may be the most serious you have ever faced. "The fight for justice to America's greatest money crop cannot bo won by a few year after year, it must command the personal co-operation of every grower of cotton." Couldn't Preach U tt Handed. Ever since the new building of Central Methodist church was opened for use, Mr. W. H. Phifer has occu pied the front seat on the right hand aisle. Preachers have come and gone, but Mr. Phifer Is always In that seat when the hour for ser vice arrives. Sunday morning there happened to be a draught in that part ol the house, and Mr. Phifer moved over to the other-aisle before the service began. When Dr. Weaver arose to begin his seTraon, he grave ly said, "Brother Phifer, please mova back to your seat, I cant preach left handed." Mr. Phifer moved and the congregation enjoyed the pleasant Incident Old CitimiiN. Wadeshoro M. & I. Mr. nnd Mrs. Jlmmle Leonard, two of Union county's most nged citizens, are quite sick at their home In Lanes Creek township, that county. Mr. Leonard is !3 and Mrs. Leonard Is 87. Mrs. Leonard Is a sister of the late W. 1). Webb, of blessed memory in Anson. Mr. Geo. W. Little died Wednes day nt his home, Just acrots the line In Union county. The deceit sod was about NO ye-ars of ag. ami an excellent citizen. notes or anything of value. Under the law as it is now it is a crime to charge more than the le.al r.ito for money advanced upon !i;us aold and kitchen furniture only. S.'iiator J. A. Long, of 1 'orison In troduced in the Senate a Joint resolution to provide a S'.ato bond Isbue to cover the "deficit" hi t lie ttensury, to pay fjr the completion of the new State building a 'id to provide funds for other permanent building appropriations. The reso lution was referred to the finance committee, of which J. P. Cook of Cabarrus, Is chairman. The House, after considerable de bate on each measure, passed tho tanners' cotton tare bill and the bill penalizing telegraph companies for failure to transmit and deliver promptly messages filed. Bo:h hills were amended on the floor of tho House, the cotton tare bill so us to require all ginners to put 30 pounds of bagging and ties on each bale of cotton and providing that the buyer may deduct from the bale till tares in excess of six p:r cent of the gross weight of the bale. The telegraph bill was amended to that It would In no wise apply to rural telephone companies. The penalty is $100. By tremendous majorities, tho Senate killed the two House divorce bills, one by Representative Stew nrt, to make five years' abandon ment a sufficient cause for divorce, and the other by Representative Kellum and Senator Hobgood, put ting the husband and wife on the same basis in sicurlng divorce on scriptural grounds. The debate was long and spicy. These bills came from the committee on minori ty reports. Senator, Payne Intro duced a new divorce bill, but In view of the vote taken later on other bills of this kind, it is pre dicted that It will never get be yond committee. Representative Wallace's Sunday bill was killed In the House after much argument and divcussion. in which numerous members partici pated. The bill sought to amend the statute by making viol:, lions of the present law a misdemeanor punishable with a fine or Imprison ment, Instead of a simple penalty of one dollar as the old statute pro vides. It is contended that the present statute Is a dead letter, and Mr. Wallace and the champions of Ms bill sought to hiake It e-ffectlve. It was killed by a strong majority.
