I j Pifebidio, l-. . . ji. It. Twen j eight hundred Mex can federal to' diers, six generals, 200,000 rounds c ammunition, two cannons, four laig field piece3 and 1,500 civilian refugee i t re in the custody of the United i States army border patrol today as ! the result of the federal evacuation of i Ojinaga, Mex., and the occupation of the Mexican village by General Villa d rebel forces. The distress of the ref ugees is. intense. They have scant food and no shelter. Men, women children, dogs, chickens, and cattle are packed together in a space cover-j ing several acres. About them are) scattered all the goods and baggage: brought in flight from Ojinaga. Urgent requests for the immediate removal of soldiers and refugees to some other places, were sent by Major McNamee to the war department, through General Bliss. Among results of the rebel success that places General Villa's army in undisputed control of a vast section of northern Mexico, are: Federal Generals Mercado, Castro Orphlnal, Romero, Adune and Landa are in custody of the United States troops awaiting disposition by the war department. General Pascual Orozco and Gen Ynez Salazar, commanders, escaped along the border to some point remote from Presidio. Salazar was wounded They were accompanied by Gen. Car- vao and Gen. Rojas and 300 cavalry men. Salazar and Orozco are being watched for in the United States for indictments charging them with vio lating the neutrality laws. General Landa said he was certain all the federal troops escaped. Charges of cowardice were made against Orozco, Salazar and Rojas General Mercado said these generals abandoned their troops at the begin ning of the battle and thus weakened the federal defense. GENEBAL BUCKNER DEAD Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, the last surviving lieutenant general of the Confederate army, who died at his home near Munfordville, Ky., Thurs day night, was one of the most gallant and picturesque men this country has produced. He was educated at West Pdlnt and served with valor as a young officer in the Mexican war. r For meritorious conduct at the bat tle of Churubusco he was breveted first lieutenant, and soon afterwards captain for exceptional gallantry at I the battle of Moline del Rey. After the Mexican war young Buckner was! rarfi instructor at West Point. In 1855 he resinned from the army. Shortly before hostilities between the north and South began he acecpted the of fice of inspector general of Kentucky. He was a handsome, dashing man, and was the idol of Confederate sym pathizers in Kentucky. He made an effort to have Kentucky secede, but he Union element was too strong to be overcome by state-rights patriots of the Buckner type. General Buck ner was made brigadier general early ;n the war; was promoted to major general in 1863, and to lieutenant gen eral in 1864. General Buckner was governor of Kentucky four years 1887 to 1891 and was a candidate for vice presi dent of the United States on the gold democratic ticket in 1896. He was in his ninety-first year, but until a few years ago was In vigorous health. He attended most of the Confederate re unions and never lost Interest in his old comrade! in arms. The distinguished warriors who fought for the Lost Cause are rapidly passing away. Appomattox is nearly 50 years behind us, but ten years ago a reunion of the United Confederate Veterans - brought together several lieutenant generals and many major generals. Now the brigadiers, are al most as scarce among the living , as were the lieutenants in the '80s. Gen eral Buckner was buried Saturday ir the historic cemetery at Frankfort overhanging the Kentucky river Peace to his ashes! DIYIDEND K01JCE. : 'Golds coro, N. C, Jan. 8, 1914.

Martin Reviewing Affaire v of the College. -v-V: Davidson. A clerical force of stu dents were busy one week recently in mailing from the administration build ing the latest College Bulletin, written by President Martin and giving in rap id review an account of matters re lating mora especially to this the seventy-seventh session of the "college. Doctor Martin notes that all the members of the faculty are full pro fessors and all studerts from fresh men to seniors are in classes taught by men who took full university train.- ing at the leading universities of America and Europe. Davidson is one of the very, few colleges of the land whose freshmen and sophomores are not taught, in part, at least by young men of limited expreirtce, who hold the rank of "Instructor.' " The addition to the teaching force of Dr. H. B. Arbuckle, as professor of chemistry and of Dr. Charles N. Wun- der, as associate professor of astron omy and applied znathemtaics, the promotion of Professor A. Currie to a full professorship, ; his department being public speaking, education and law, and the election of Mr. Frank L. Jackson to the position of treasurer, bursar and business manager, are all very properly cited as evidences of the steady growth and expansion of toe Institution. The recent action of the Synods of the Carolina, Georgia and Florida, looking to a mere substantial support of Church schools and colleges and especially the resolution of the Synod of this State and of Florida, request ing that the caue of Chritsian educa tion De given a place in the budget of all the Churches in their bounds, is expected to result in a decided In crease in the annual contributions to the institutions concerned and a more actiTe effort tor their further up- building In point of enrollment. Doc- tor Martin has been appointed chair man of Synod's permanent commit tee on schools and colleges, to suc ceed Rev. Dr. J. B. Shearer, resigned. An appeal is made In this Issue of the Bulletin for BOO members to the Davidson; College Leagu.e that during President Smith's administration was. so effective in bringing in an annual revenue that made possible so many additions to and so many improve ments in the college plant. The Bui letln explains that contributions to 'the recent endowment campaign serv ed as a reason why many temporal ily demitted membership in . this league, but with .the payment of the pledges to the endowment, old stu dents, parents, friends, any, and all ! who are interestd In the college and the work It Is doing for the -Church, are urged to renew their member ship and begin once again the pay ment of the annual contribution of $10. : Mount Airy's Growth. -Mount Airy. As the year has clos' d and the merchants have taken an inventory of stock it is well to take Inventory of a town's achievements and in this respect Mount Airy has been more than fortunate for it has enjoyed marked prosperity. The town has not only increased rapidly In pop ulation but more money has been spent, In the past year, for public im provements than ever before in the same length of time. The voting ol bonds for road improvement in the township has turned to the public nearly $50,000 and nearly half that amount has been spent, inside the city, for street Improvements. An up-to-date and modern filtering plant, costing $7,000, has been Installed two tobacco warehouses, costing 000, have been erected. No less t a aozen juain street stores nave bden remodeled with modern front sin general improvements whlchef)st, a least $20,000. At least a d5zen hand some residences have been erected,! two of which reached the $10,000 mark, and a $10,000 packhouse, has been added to the factory section of the city. This, of course, does not include the outlay at the store quarry where the payroll, in mid-summer reaches $50,000 each month or the three large furniture factories which gives employment to nearly 600 hands. Added, to these things, this is a splen did market, a large horse and cattle market and one of the largest ship ping points for produce in the South. Charlotte's New Hotel. Charlotte.
