Mexico City, Nov. 10. Pipvis ional - President Victoriano Huerta announced to the diplo mats at midnight last night that the eletcions recently held in Mexico are void. He also informed them that he will continue in office until new elections are held. He did not refer to the repre sentations made to him by the United States demanding his im mediate withdrawal, but his statement is " accepted as his answer to President Wilsons ultimatum. It is looked upon as being an absolute defiance, and in effect, an invitation to the United States to do its worst. In his fornialstatement to the diplomats the Dictator said it is now foreseen that the elections are null and void on account of too few precincts having taken part in the voting. He asserts, that on this ac count Congress when it convenes naturally will annul the expres sion of the voters at the polls. o Troops Hove to Texas ; The first squadron, four troops of 5th Cavalry, commanded by Col. Joseph Garrard, left Fort Myer, Va., today by train for Fort Bliss, Texas, to relieve the third squadron of the Fifth Cav airy, patrolling the Mexican bor der.

McAdoo of the Treasury Department is sued orders today to collectors of customs to continue to disre gard the sub-section of the new tariff law authorizing a discount of five per cent on all goods im ported in American vessels. Entries held up pending a de cision on the question by Attor ney General McReynolds now will be liquidated, leaving im porters who desire to insist on getting the five per cent discount to protest, with the right of fin ally carrying the question to the court of customs appeals. The Attorney General gave his opinion ten days ago, since which time it has been under consider ation by Treasury officials. He held: "The 5 per centum discount to American vessels only, which was the primary object of the sub-section, cannot 8e given without Impairing the stipula tions of existing treaties between the United States and various other Powers, and consequently the sub-section,.by the expressed terms of the proviso, is inopera tive." Twenty-three nations have treaties with the United States under which they asserted their ships had a right to the different ialn common with American ship. . These included Great Britain, Germany, . France, Austria-Hun gary, Italy, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, Greece, the Nether lands, Spa in, "Norway and Swed en.

Washington, Nov. 10. From more or less of a "joke" the ab sence of 75 or 80 per cent, of the membership- of the House today became an important subject through the discovery for the "docking" of tbsentees, even to the extent oft ucting down their "mileage." In sections 41 and 42 of the Revised Statutes of the United States it is written : "The Secretary of the Senate and the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House respectively shall deduct from the monthly payments of each member or delegate the amount of his salary for each he has been absent from the Sen ate or House respectively, un less excused because of his own illness or sickness in his family." EDITING In few ways has there been greater advance than in the science or art of editing or reduc ing voluminous matters of liter ature and news into a compass not too large for the greatest number of people. The groi of this science or art has been continuous. The man who writes a book undertakes to cm brace in it the substance of all he has read and experienced in all other books and in the activ ities of, his life. Development to its present state of approximate perfection of headlining a news paper is a part of the same ten dency or development; and the editorial page of a newspaper is not only the paper's opinion on certain matters of news and events, bur it indicates the opin ion of the editorial staff of the most important events or news to comment on, as things happen from day to day; and the mov ing picture is the latest effort at condensation or editing, show ing as it does, to the many acj;s and-motives in the briefest man ner. Burke said that in-addition to the three "estates" of the lords, the commons and the clergy, the press was the fourth estate of publicity and influence, and now comes the moving pic tures as the fifth estate. 0 The wedding of Mr. Walter Hargctt and Miss Mabel Hoover will he celebrated tomor row evening at the home of the bride in Thomasville. C. C. Prince left this morning for Asheville, accompanied by Mrs. Prince. They will be gone for ten days or more. Mrs. W. K. Edmonds left yes terday for a visit to her home in Mt. Airy. J. M, Ilarrell left today for Jacksonville. Hon. Bird S. Coler arrived this morning from New York. E. W. Hargett and Mjss Kyle Hargctt. of Kinston, are here today. The entire local bar are at tending court in Greensboro to day. , Judge C. F. Williams, of Terre Haute, Indiana, of the Circuit Court is here today, called on account of his mother, Mrs. Jas. Williams who lived a few miles out from High Point. A. E. Tate left last night for a business trip to New York. W. C. Adler, a well-known travelling salesman died at his home in New York yesterday. Born to Mr. and Mrs. M. D. Stout a son. Gurney - Briggs has purchased one of the choice lots on the cir cle in Roland Park. That Is Estimate Made By Of ficials of Treasury Depart ment. Washington, D. C, Nov. 10. That the cost of collecting the income tax will amount to $2, 000,000 a year, or 2 per cent, on $100,000,000 which that tax is ex pected to yield, was an estimate today ventured by the Treasury Department. The estimate was given in refutation of assertions that the cost would be almost $50,000,000. For 'the collection of the tax during what was left of the cur rent fiscal year from November 1 to June 30, 1914, $800,000 has been appropriated by Congress. Although it may be difficult to make this sum go all the way, the income tax division will ex pend it with care, and it is hoped it will meet the necessities of the situation. One of the questions involved in the interpretation of the in come tax law is the status of a man who marries during the course of any year. The problem presented is whether he is entitl ed to eemption at $3,000 as a sin gle man, or $1,000 as a married man whether his exemption will be prorated acocrding to his sta tus when single and when mar ried. Although this question has not yet come up for consideration by the Income Tax Division, it appears likely the exemption of $4,000 for the entire year will be granted to a married man, wheth er his marriage took place during the year or before. Rear End Collision A freight train ran into a work train, causing a rear end collis ion on the Southern yesterday between Rudd and Rrown Sum mit. The engine of the freight train was badly damaged and it was derailed, together with a number of cars of both the freight and work trains. The track was torn up for a considerable distance and the wrecking crew put in all the af ternoon hard at work clearing the debris. It was several houjjs before the trains . could clear through. Fireman Shields, of the freight train, and Brakeman Grfcbbs, of the work train, were both painfully, though not seri ously injured. The injured men were taken to their homes in Spencer. Northbound freight train No. 72 ran into a work train that was standing a few hundred yards from Reedy Fork creek' between Brown Summit an dRudd. The accident is believed to have been due to some misunderstanding about flagging orders, though the real cause will possibly not be determined till a thorough inves tigation is made. Death of Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Sarah Burton Williams, widow of the late George Wil liams, died yesterday at her home a few miles north of town. She was one of the oldest citizens of the county, being 96 years and 4 months old. She is survived by three sons and a daughter. M. B. Williams, Judge C. F. Williams and Orlando Williams, of Indiana, and Louise Harris, Forest City are the surviving children. The funeral services were held this afternoon, and were attend ed by a number of prominent citizens from High Point. 0 - .
