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.

The boll weevil will be stubbornly

The members of group five of ]

plans against the invasion of the
boll weevil. The meeting lasted
two hours and before adjourn- |

been put before the meeting.
Mr. Weevil will be met with a j

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."

former assistant physician at the
asylum is associated with Dr.
Babcock.

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

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

The Pagel&nd Incident Explain- a

Rev. I. W. Quick. F
On the night of July 14, 1914 ^
at Pageland, S. 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." He had not made any ^
personal remarks to Mr. Finley
and only replied to what he said

corrected Mr. Finley in reply to j
questions addressed to him by 4
Mr. Finley. 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.

Does Advertising Pay?
The other day a local mer:hant
elevated his chin, squared
lis shoulders, assumed a bellgerent
attitude, and defiantly
old us that "advertising doesn't

He is still alive, but let us

That is advertising.
If a new sun arrives ai your
