Mexico City, July 15.?Gen. 1 Vicforiano Huena resigned from the provisional presidency of the Mexican republic today and his resignation was accepted by the senate and chamber of deputies by a vote ot 121 to 17. Francisco Carbajal then was appointed president, and took the oath of office at the joint session of the deputies and senators. Huerta's resignation was submitted through the department of foreign relations. It was read in the house and was greeted with cries of "Viva Huerta." It uiuuuoncu me vn tin enu in Mexico, if the plans announced here today by Gen. Vemustiano Carranza, first chief of the constitutionalist army go into effect. Gen. Carranzadeclared his main] object now would be to conduct alists to and 5 establish their government without further disorder, shedding of blood or damage to property. How these negotiations would be arranged Carranza declared he had not yet determined. He was unable to say at this time whether they would be conducted through the mediators or direct with the federals. Unconditional surrender, however, will be the only condition on which the negotiations will be successful. Gen. Carranza made that plain to newspaper men who talked wiin mm today. Rule Of Huerta Has Been Uneasy Washington, July 15.?Victoriano Huerta took oath as pro vis ional president of Mexico February 19, 1913, the day after Francisco I. Madero had been arrest ed at the national palace. Three days later Madero and Jose Maria Pino Saurez, vice president, were shot to death on a midnight ride under guard from the palace to the penitentiary. The manner of their death never has been satisfactorily explained. One of Huerta's first acts as provisional president was to telegraph William II. Taft, then president of the United States, ihe following message. "I have the honor to inform you that I have overthrown this government. The forces are with me and from now on peace and prosperity will reign." The republic immediately was plunged into civil war again notwithstanding Huerta's insuance oi a proclamation ot general amnesty. The Sonora State congress officially repudiated the provisional government before Huerta had settled himself comfortably in the presidential chair. Zapata, revolutionary leader to the south of the capital, after negotiating a few days with the new regime, went back to his then was referred to the joint committee of gobernacion. After brief consideration the committees reported, accepting < the resignation in the following terms: "Article 1. We accept the resignation presented bv Gen. Victoriano Huerta as president of the Mexican United States. "Article 2. We call Licentiate hrancisco Carbajal, minister of foreign relations, to assume the presidency." A ballot was taken and the joint session approved the report. President Carbajal proceeded to the National Palace under an escort of presidential guards, and along the way was greeted with tumultuous cheering. Monterey, July 16.?Fighting Onrl 1 * ? "wii weevil will DC rought When He Comes Columbia Record 1 The boll weevil will be stubbornly attacked when he attempts to enter South - Carolina , three years hence, this being the time that experts expect the appearance of the pest according , to his rate of travel from the southwestern states. The members of group five of ] the State Bankers* association met this morning in the auditor- , ium of the Jefferson hotel to lav plans against the invasion of the boll weevil. The meeting lasted two hours and before adjourn- | ment well defined ideas of the , next step in the campaign had been put before the meeting. Mr. Weevil will be met with a j combined attack, a resistance in which the vorious activities of ] the state will participate. i The resolution, as follows, ex- , pressed the extent of the campaign: ! "Resolved, that a committee be appointed consisting of the president of the South Carolina Bankers' association; the president of the Cotton Seed Crushers' association; the president of the Cotton Manufacturers' association; the president of the State Farmers' union; the president of Clemson college, W.

Carranza, constitutionalist leader in Chihuahua, assailed him in a bitter statement made public at San Antonio. Francisco Villa announced himself an adherent of Madero and joined the ranks of the Northern army. Of the clan of northern revolutionaries Pascual Oro/.co was the lone . notable figure among the disaffected who declared for the new government. President Taft, nearing the end of his term, lef/ to his successor the problem of adjusting diplomatic relations with Mexico. To Woodrow Wilson, Huerta sent felicitations on the day of the Ameiican president's inauori t rn tinn hMIUIIVU. Hampered at the outset of his administration by the refusual of the United States to recognize him Iluerta soon faced growing difficulties in raising funds to run his government.. His un easy hold upon affairs was weakened by minor constitutionalist victories in the North and by recurring rumors of a break with Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz and Huerta's alley in the overthrow of Madero, i Babcock Builds New Hospital J. W. Babcock, M. D., former superintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, annouced yesterday that work had begun on the construction of his private sanitarium, which will represent an ultimate outlay of approximately $100,000. The new hospital is located on the Camden road, two and onehalf miles from Columbia. Dr. Babcock said that he had purchased 54 acres of land from Mrs. Louisa Duncan The price was said to be $25,000. One building has been completed on the site for the accomodation of several patients and work is to begin next week on a building, which will contain rooms for 24 patients. "For the present the new sanitarium," said Dr. Babcock yesterday, "will be called the Waverly sanitarium. I have purchased 54 acres of land for $25,000 and it is my purpose to eventually build one of the most modern institutions in the South." Eleanora B Saunders, M. D., former assistant physician at the asylum is associated with Dr. Babcock. Old Mammv Persimmons called one day on the village lawyer. "Well old lady," he said, "what can I do for you?" "Ah wants to divorce mah husband," E^d Aunt Mary. "Divorce Uncle 11?" cried the lawyer. "Good spacious! Why?" "Because he's ^dons got religion, dat's why,*' Said Aunt Mary; "and we ain't Who Is W. F. Stevenson Mr. W. F. Stevenson, candidate for confess, was the person to have credit for the completion Df our State House. The advocates of the bill providing for that were beaten by the economists in the house because it would increase taxes. He came forward with the proposition and let the State borrow money from the Sinking Fund Commisson and repay it at $15,000 a year. Build it and pay for it on the installment plan. The News & Courier says, referring to the apparent defeat of the measure, "But Mr. Stevenson came to the rescue. He showed that the Sinking Fund Commission had nearly $200,000 in bank drawing four per cent, interest. Why not lend this amount to the State at the same rate and let the state treasurer refund it at the rate of $15,000 a year. This would not increase the levy of the State and would not hurt the appropriations to the other causes. The suggestion was adopted by both houses," and the act passed in that form and we got our State i i ...u: _i. t 1 11UU3U Luiii^it'iuu, which ii'tiu been standing half finished, unsightly and almosy uninhabitable from 1864 to 1899. No one seemed to think of the fact that this could be done. Originality! initiative! is the thing of first importance in legislation. He seems to have it, hence his name is linked with the history of the State for 18 years. Don't we need the same ability and power in the highest degree in Washington? Give it a trial. In the language of the medical world,, "take a trial dose." If it is not satisfactory it will last only two years. Newspaper Dont's Don't take your home paper. It is the most active and power- fi for factor in building up your d town, and to support it would in- o volve you in the work. Don't pay for it if you take it. d Newspapers are run on wind, J and the editor wouldn't keep the p money anyway. He'd most like- n ly pav it on his bills. 0 Don't fail to tell the editor d how to run the paper. He has f nothing to do but to listen and keep his temper sweet. ti Don't put your name to what t: you want published. It's the t< editor's business to espouse un- t popular causes and take your chestnuts out of the fire. What hurts your business might also d hurt his?but that's different. d Don't notify the editor when f, you change your postoffice ad- c dress. He may lose track of you and you will escape paving the last two or three years of your j subscription. j Don't forget to write on both a sides of the paper. The printers ^ might forget how to swear. r Don't write your communica r tions legibly. Deciphering ? them keeps the editor busy and he is able to make an occasional blunder, which promotes good feeling all around. Don't imagine that the newspaper man has anything to do j Newspapers print themselves \ and the ravens feed the printers, t ?Gaffney Ledger.

C., the candi- c dates for Congress, W. F. Ste- n venson and D. E. Finley spoke. g Mr. Stevenson opened and Mr. Finley closed and Mr. Stevenson exercised the right, assumed by Mr. Finley at Chesterfield, of re- ^ plying. When he did so Mr. Finley replied to him and as he f turned to sit down he said to Mr. t Stevenson, "You can't throw off ^ on me." Mr. Stevenson said, "How."

When Mr. Finley ^ replied, "I will just hurt you." t Mr. Stevenson said, "Hurt me,- j old man, hurt me?" The chairman had announced j the meeting adjourned and as , Mr. Stevenson turned to pick up J his papers Mr. Finley hit him be- ? hind the right ear. After Mr. Stevenson recovered from the lick he approached Mr. Finley and appeared about to engage * in the ditficulty but he was pulled off the stand bv T. W. Belk, who stated to him that he wanted to prevent any difficulty. The incident was entirely unexpected and without any apparent cause as the debate was being conducted along parliament ary lines and the apparent heat . of Mr. Finley was not understood by Mr. Stevenson appar- , ently or by the audience. W. F. Stevenson. To the best of my knowledge 1 the above is a correct statement but I don't know what Mr. Ste- i venson was doing when Mr. Finley struck him. . John W.

You never hear of a large nercantile house in this country hat does not advertise, and advertise heavily. If a politician wants to make limself known to the dear peo>le he uses the most effective neans?newspaper publicity. That is advertising. If a new sun arrives ai your louse you are keen to have it 'put in the paper," where your riends will see it, thereby adverising the fact that you are walkng on eggs.

There are plenty of people who want what you have to sell, but they are weary of looking through a haystack for a needle, rhey prefer to find it in an advertisement. 1 And they will look in the local paper for the ad.
