Francisco Carbajal then was appoint ed President and took the oath of of *e att he joint session of the:Depu ties and Senators. - Huerta's resignation was- submit ted through the department of for eign, relations. It was reid In. the House and was greeted with crie of "'Via Huerta " it then was referred to the joint committtea of Goberna cion. After brief' consideration the committees. reported accepting the resignation in the following terms: "Article I. We accept the resigna tlon presented .y Gen. Victoriana Huerta as President of the Mexican United States. "Article 2. We call Licentlate Francisco Carbajal, minister of for eign rielations, to assume the presi dency." A ballot was taken Md the joint session approved the report. Presi dent .Carbaja1 proceedid to the na tional palace under an escort of pres identll guards, and all along the way 'was greeted with tumultuous The text of Gen. Huerta's resigna tion follows. "Deputies and Sena tors: Public necessity, admitted .by the Chamber of Deputies, by the Senat6 and by the Supreme Court -caled me to the supreme ministry of the republic. Later when in this iame ball I had the honor of ad dressing you in compliance with the cnstitutiona precept I promised at fal costs to bring about peace. "Seventeen months have passed and in that brief period of time I have formed an army with which to arry out that solemn promise. You a! know - the immense difficulties which my government has encounter ed owagto 'a scarcity off funds as 'well as to the manifest and decided rotection which a great power of -,this continent has afforded the rebels -so much so that when the revolu tion had been broken up, seeing that itschief leaders were, and continued 46 be divided, the power in question uMkpght a pretext to intervene directly the -conflict, and the result of ,this was an outrage committed at Vera .1rs by the American fleet. "Success was had, as you know, in aIsighonorably, through our ~delegates at Niagara Falls., the petty Tas frmpico incident, but the revolution e~cntinued with the support of whom eaial know. "Yet- after the highly patriotic 'work achieved 'by our delegates at ~<Niagara Falls there still are some $ who say I, come what may, seek my ~"personal interest and not that of the Srepublic. And as I need to rebut this allegation with facts I tender my formalr resignation of the presidency ' of the republic. 'The national Congress must vote that the republic, through its govern ment, has labored in entire good faith and with the fullest energy, having succeeded in doing away 'with the party which in the united States calls itself Democratic, and having shown how the right should be de fended. "To be more explicit, I will say that the action of the government of the republic during its short life has dealt death blows to an unjust power. Later on, stronger workers will come, using implements that undoubtedly *will end that power which has done so much harm and committed too many outrages on this continent. "In conclusion, I will say that I abandon the presidency of the re - public. carrying with me the highest sum of human wealth, for I declare that I have arraigned at the bar of! universal conscience the honor of a Puritan, whom I, as a gentleman, challenge to wrest from me that pos session. "May God bless you and me." The galleries of the chamber were packed before the beginning of the session. Intense excitement charac terized the gatitering and at the close of the reading of Hluerta's resigna tion the Deputies and spectators broke into loud and continued ap plause. After the acceptance of Huerta's resignation, a commission was ap pointed .by the president of the cham ber to escort Senor Carjabal to the floor of the House. Senor Carbajal soon appeareil in front of the cham ber, passing through files of soldiers. He entered, and as he walked to the platform the Deputies stood. Speaker Manuel Mercado then administered the oath. Kicked Man Off Train. Auditor F. H.

Comes Out Unequfvocaly forldiving Franchise to Those Who Protect Their Children. Secretary Bryan in a formal state ment Thursday came out for woman suffrage. He declared he would ask no political right for himself he was not willing to grant his wife, and announced he would support the pro posed State constitutional amendment extending the franchise to women to be voted on in Nebraska next Novem ber. Woman, Mr. Bryan said, had prov ed herself equal to every responsi bility imposed on her, and would not fail society in this emergency. Above all other engagements for giving her the ballot he placed "the right of the mother to a voice in the molding of the environment of her children". "The mother," the secretary said, "can justly claim the right to employ every effective weapon for the pro tection of those whose interests she guards,.but the ballot will put within her reseh all the instrumentalities of government, inclding the police power." "As man and woman are cotenants of the earth," the statement says, "and must work out their destiny to gether, the presumption is on the side of equality for treatment in all that pertains to their joint life and its opportunities. The burden of proof is on those who. claim for one an advantage over the other in deter mining conditions under which both shall live. Objections raised to wo man suffrage appear to me to be in valid, while the arguments advanced in support .of the proposition in my judgment are convincing. "The first objection I remember to have heard was that as woman can not bear arms she should not have a voice in deciding questions that might lead to war or in enactment of laws that might require an army officer to enforee. This argument is seldom offered nov, for as civilization ad vances laws are obeyed because they are an expression of public opinion. As we look back over the past, we may well wonder whether the peace movement would not have grown more rapidly had women been con sulted before hostilities began. "Second, some urge that woman's life already is full of care and that the addition of suffrage rather would overburden her or turn her attention away from home duties. The answer made is that the exercise of the fran chise might result in a change of thought- and occupation that would relieve the monotony of woman's work. Surely the home will not suf fer if the mother, the child's first. teacher, is able to intelligently dis euss with her family the science o government and the art of success fully administering it. "Third, many well meaning men nd women affirm that suffrage would work a harm to woman by les soning the respect in which she is held. This argument would have more weight had it not been employ a dagainst every proposition advanc ed in favor of the enlargement of woman's sphere. This objection once was raised to the higher education of woman, but it no longer is heard. "These objections, however honest ly advanced, have proven impotent' to retard woman's progress." PELLAGRA SURVEY. Board of Health to Look Over South Carolina Situtation. In view of the alarming increase in pellagra in the last year in South Carolina, the state board of health is planning a complete survey of the state, to take place in the first part1 of August. Dr. James A. Hayne, state health officer, is in receipt daily of letters from all parts of the state describing outbreaks of the disease in new towns and epmmunities, where it was hitherto unknown. There are in South Carolina at the present time 3,000 cases of pellagra. Of these, almost 600 are in the coun ty of Spartanburg. The death rate from pellagra is unusually high, eight dying out of every 100 attacked. as compared with a death rate of s~x out of every 100 of typhoid fever. Dr. Hayne was notified Tuesday morning of a family of six in Chester field, all of whom had pellagra. A fact that has become more apparent recently in respect to the disease is that where one in a family has it the rest of the family sooner or later get WILL SEPERATE FIGURES Long Staple to Have It's Own Gove;-n ment Cotton Report. Chairman Lever of the house com mittee on agriculture Tuesday held a conference with Secretary Houston and Mr. Estabrook, chief of the bu reau of statistics for that department as a result of which the bureau of statistics hereafter will in its average and condition reports and its estimate of the final yield of cotton show the acre age. condition and final yield o.f upland long staple and ordinary cu; ton seperately.

Candler hash FEATHERS ON LE63 POLLOCK SAYS GOVERNOR PLAYS TURKEY AT MEETINGS. 0006ES HIS OWN RECORD Cheraw Man Says Blease Won't Stay on Stand and Hear What Others Have to Say-Says His Conscience Pricks Him for Hitting A Dead Corpse so Hard. The first half of the senatorial campaign concluded Thursday with the Walhalla meeting, Oconee being the twenty-second county visited. The meeting was marked by the charge by W. P. Pollock that Gov. Blease had feathers on his legs. This speak er said that he knew all along that the chief executive's record was bad, but that he did not know until the campaign had operied that the gov ernor's lower limbs were trimmed vith feathers. This, he said, in expla nation of the governor's failure to stay on the stand while the other candidates are speakidg. Mr. Pollock further explained that he didn't attack any man behind his back. 'He added, however, that though the governor "played turkey" and ran away, such action would not deter him from holding up the gov ernor's record In all its nakedness. Senator Smith added a feature when he read an affidavit from C. P. Moorer of Dorchester county, saying that Senator Smith was in St. George the night the Haskell convention was held. Mr. Moorer also made oath that he reminded Senator Smith the next morning that the newspaper re ports were that the senator was a delegate to the convention and that he then asked hom he could be in two places at the same time. Gov. Blease declared that he would not be a candidate for the United States Senate in the general election if he is defeated in the primary. He stated that he had already pledged himself to abide the result of the primary. L. D. Jennings, the first speaker, explained the new primary rules, say ing he had not heard them denounc ed by anybody but certain candidates. He asked why had the anti-Blease people changed the rules if, as charg ed, they benefited by the alleged frauds committed in 1912? He said that then both sides cried fraud; that the anti-Blease crowd changed the rules, and -now the governor and his friends were denouncing them. The speaker sorely regretted that there were two factions in the State, he said. On one side the race track gamblers and blind tigers were try ing to line up with them enough good people that the government might be. so conducted as to insure to these lawbreakers' benefit. He did-not be lieve that there were more than 35, 000 of these blind tigers, gamblers and all other classes who hold the law in utter disregard in the State. It was his purpose in this campaign, he explained, to open the eyes of the other 35,000 who had been hood winked into believing that this ele ment represented the cause of the people. He said he was satisfied that if Goy. Blease went to the Senate about the first thing he would do would be to introduce a bill to turn all "buck nig gers" out of the federal penitentiary. He predicted that the governor will be'beaten so badly on August 25 that "he'll wake up in China or some oth er uncivilized country, where he ought to be." Mr. Pollock began by saying that he was completely exhausted by cam paigning in Anderson Wednesday, where he played the "salamander" in digging a hole in the sand, putting "Cole" into it, and then packing the sand in on the governor. He said that his conscience was beginning to prick him, as he was now kicking a corpse. Mr. Pollock said he was sorry the governor would not sit in the stand and hear his record discussed; that not until the campaign opened did he know the governor was "feather leg ged", and that the governor knew his record was so bad that he couldn't hear it and keep his face, but "turns turkey and runs away" The speaker excoriated the gover nor's pardon record, not numbering the pardoned convicts, but measuring them by the carload, of which there were 12 or 15, he said. He answer ed the governor's charges of negro Republicanism by pointing out that there are two Republican tainted members on the governor's staff, and one "Dago", who he had understood had only recently made application for naturalization papers. Senator Smith said that when he attempted to organize the farmers in 1904 he was told that it couldn't be done: that he couldn't get them to gether: that he couldn't make them see. His efforts had been so success ful, nevertheless, he said, that since they had been organized, they were so coming into their own that now they couldn't be stopped. He illus - trated by telling the joke of the back woodsman who didn't believe that there was such a thing as a "self movin" engine. However, when the old man saw the train whirl by, he swore that it could never be stopped. At the conclusion of his speech, Senator Smith was presented with a miniature bale of cotton, which he said was the emblem of the South's prosperity, and that it would become his campaign emblem. It was said that the little bale had been in "storage" 15 years. The governor was the last speaker. He charged that two newspaper men, under the .pretext of soliciting sub scriptions. were following the cam paign party from county to county. Those he designated as "campfol CALLS BLEASE DOWN COLUMBI DOCTOR SAYS RICHEY FEIGNED PARALYSIS. Dr. James H. McIntosh Says Neither Dr. Knowlton or Himself Recom mended the Release of Richey. Dr. James H. McIntosh, a well known physician of Columbia Thurs day morning issued an emphatic de nial of the statement made by Gov. Cole L. Blease on Tuesday at Abbe ville that he had made a report on the condition of R. A. Richey, a con vict in the penitentiary from Abbe ville county, convicted of raping his adopted daughter, to the effect that Richey was a paralytic and that his condition would improve if released from confinement, which report the governor used as the justification for later pardoning Richey. Dr. McIn tosh said that, on the contrary, he, with the late Dr. A. B. Knowlton,'of Columbia, had examined Richey and had found that he was "feigning" paralysis and had so informed the governor. Dr. McIntosh said that he,. together with Dr. Knowlton, had been notified by the governor that they had been appointed a committee of two toin vestigate the condition of R. A. Richey of Abbeville, then at the State penitentiary. This he and Dr. Knowl ton had done and had found, after a thorough examination of Richey, that he was feigning paralysis and had so informed the governor in a written statement signed .both by himself and Dr. Knowlton. Dr. Knowlton, a prominent pbysi. cian of the city and of the State, died on last Sunday in Columbia after a prolonged illness, three days before the statement made in Abbeville by Gov. Blease. The following is a re print of the report of the section of Gov. Blease's speech made at Abbe vine, in which he made reference to the Richey case, as it appeared in The Columbia Record: k "The chief executive, saying that a number of lies had been circulated about the R. A. Richey case, stated that he was not explaining or apolo gizing for hii record, but he desired to 'show up' the lies. "The governor read a .number of reports from reputable physicians, among whom are Dr. James McIn tosh and others, that Richey is a par alytic and his condition would im prove if released from confinement." The following is the written state ment of Dr.sMcIntosh, furnished a re porter for The Record: "It is true that I was appointed on a committee by the governor to -ex amine R. A. Richey. It is also true that with the late Dr. A. B. Knowl 'on I did go to the penitentiary and make such an examination. But it is not true that the report of the said ommittee signed by Dr. Knowlton and myself in any way recommended a pardon or parole of the said R. A. Richey. The fact being that both Drs. Knowlton and I fully agreed that hs paralysis was feigned." ATTRACTIVENESS PAYS. By Co-operation Transformation Can be Obtained in Any Town. If a single merchant in this town were to adopt the permanent policy of making his store attractive in all possible ways he undoubtedly could hold the best trade of his town In the face of competition of every other kind. What is true of the individual merchants is true of the entire vil lage. All it needs to hold it trade, and its population is to be attractive. Attractiveness is of many kinds and is composed of many elements. Good roads, clean streets, low prices and high quality will attract to and generally hold trade for a village. But shaded streets well sprinkled. green lawns closely cropped, neatly painted and well-kept houses and out-buildings reflect a diligence and prosperity that are almost as per suasive as some of the more tangi ble and material appeals of cost and uality. One may imagine, for example. what a transformation could be ef fected in this town if every window n its business streets were occupied by a flower .box filled with beautiful fowering plants. Yet the thought need not remain wholly imaginative; for at a comparatively small 'cost to each individual merchant such a transformation could be effected. Many of the largest stores and hotels of the great cities have decorated their windows in this way. An example thus set by the mer chants doubtless would be followed by many citizens in the decorating of their residences, and in a few years our village would become known far and wide for the beauty of its homes and places of business. Campaign Opens. The opening guns in the Fifth dis trict congressional race were fired at Chesterfield Tuesday when D. E. Fin ley. the incumbent, and his opponent. W. F. Stevenson, spoke to a small but interested audience. Policeman Kills Negro. Although sorely wounded, Police man A. L. Powell of Florence, Satur day shot and killed William Rest. a negro, who attacked him. s cowardly liar, for saying that after the governor's defeat in the primary, he would go into the general election. This, the governor said, was a lie, as he had pledged to abide by the re sut of the Democratic primary. Gov. Blease made his characteristic plea for racial preju~dices and put on exhibit again the catalogue of Bene ict college, in which is a picture of the factulty with white members. Newspapers too came in for some abuse, and Senator Smith again ac cused of being one of the 110 dele MUST PROTECT SECRETS GOVERNMENT ARRESTS AVIATOR FOR TAXING PICTURES. Photographs Published in a Western Magazine Showing Defenses -of Canal Causes Trouble. Warrants for the arrest of Chas. K. Field, editor of the Sunset maga zine; Robert J. Fowler, an aviator; Riley A. Scott, a writer, and Ray A. Duhem, a photographer, were issued Friday at the request of John W. Preston, United States attorney at San Francisco. The charge against all four is the disclosure of military secrets. The penalty is ten years' Imprisonment or a $10,000 fine for such disclosure if made abroad, and one year, or a $1,000 fine, if made in the United States. In April Sunset published an arti cle entitled "Can the Panama Canal be Destroyed from the Air?" Re productions of photographs taken from an aeroplane and showing some of the fortifications of the canal zone and the San Francisco presidio accompanied the text. As soon as a copy of the number was called to the attention of the war department it requested -Preston to investigate. Field, Fowler, Duhem and Scott were served with the warrants and taken before United States Commis sioner Francis Krull. They were re leased on their own recognition. At a special session of the Federal grand jury the government will pre sent its evidence and ask for indict ments. - The editorial comment of the magazine on one of the photos, against which the war department particularly complained, was as fol lcws: "This is one of the most significant photos ever published in tlis coun try. Below the aeroplane from which the picture' was taken lie the Naos Islands, ifn the Bay of Panama, on which the United States government is mounting batteries of the heaviest artillery In the world to protect the Pacific approach of the Panama canal. "Or the island, almost directly un der Eft aeroplane, can be seen the emplacement for the most powerful weapon ever constructed, the first sixteen-inch disappearing gun, which has n effective range 'of about twelve miei "Here is the significance of the photo: The aeroplane might have come- in time of war from a battle ship out of range of the .big gun, a safe height and carrying five hunidred pounds of high explosives instead of a camera. .Would not the big gun be helpless against such a foe?" The editor described the circum stance In which the photo was taken and who took it, adding: "Shortly afterwards President Wilson issued an executive order forbidding such flights under heavy penalty. The photos made on this flight probably are the only pictures that ever will be taken of the canal from the air, except for purposes of war." PLANS SANITARIUM. Ds. Babcock and Saunders Malilng *Preparations In Columbia. J. W. Babcock, M. D., former su perintendent of the State Hospital for the Insane, announced Thursday that work had begun on the construction of his private sanitarium, which will represent an ultimate outlay of ap proximately $100,000. The new hospital Is located on the Camden road, two and one-half miles from Columbia. One building has been completed on the site for the accommodation of several patients and work is to begin next week on aJ building, which will contains rooms for 24 patients. "For the present the new sani tarium," said Dr. Babcock, will 'be called the Waverley Sanitarium. I have purchased 54 acres of land for $25,000 and it is my purpose to even tually 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. SHOT DOWN IN LOT. Parmer is Killed by Men Thought to be Father-In-Law. Jess Fields, a white man living at Five Forks, about three miles from Clio, was shot and killed Wednesday night about dark in his lot as be was unhitching his horse from the buggy. His wife was still in the buggy. Fields, it is claimed, had been drink ing some during the past week, and his wife went to her father's, T. W. Williams. Fields had just returned from her father's farm with her in the buggy when he- was shot by some one con aled under the buggy shelter. He was shot with af ull load of buckshot in the side. He lived about four hours. On good authority it is claim ed he said before dying that his wife's father did the shooting. Bloodhounds from Columbia were put on a trail and went straight to Williams'.

ANSWERS THREE CIAIES Turning Aside From Cotton Speech Senator Tells of Voting Money to Family of Negro Lynched, Says He Voted for Separate Apartments and Defends Appointments. A feature of the Anderson meet ing Wednesday was a pageant in honor of Senator - Smith. When the time arrived for the speak ing to begin, a pageant of eleven wagons twice circled the court house, with the senator on the first, perched high up on two bales of cotton.. An other of the train bore the "hoe bri gade," each occupant being armed with one of these deadly goose-neck ed weapons. One man, acting the part of a clown, rode barebacked a dusky mule, plastered with samples of cot ton from its nose to the end of its tail, the man himself wearing a mask of cotton whiskers and a coat cov ered with -splotches of lint. A brass band of 12 pieces occupied another wagon, and crashed out lively airs as the parade went by. In the other wagons were farmers, their wives and daughters, there being in all 89 men and 28 women. Four mounted scouts led the procession, each bearing a banner inscribed, "The Farmers' Friend for the Senate, E. D. Smith." Gov. Blease, who was the first speaker, made his characteristic "Haskellite" and, negro Republican charges, and said that he had no fears of any crowd that joined hands with "free niggers". He said some people may say that it is a horrible thing for the governor of a State to dvocate lynching. "But if I were not governor," he went on, "I'd go along and help. And as long as I'm gov ernor I don't intend to do anything to keep them from it." L. D. Jennings spoke after the gov ernor and began by reminding the audiencp that the Biease forces had often consoled themselves by saying that all the fraud of two years ago was on the "other side". He then aseked: "Well, If all the fraud was on the other side two-years ago, why should the Bleasites complain when those'rules are so framed that now there can be no fraud?" This candi date assured the Anderson people that he had never gone into any fight that he didn't stay in to ths finish, and the governor's charge that there would be withdrawing did not apply to him. Mr. Jennings drew much applause when he discussed the appointment of James L. Sims as United States marshal. He concluded this part of his speech by asking, "Which is the greater offense, to have a man ap pointed United States marshal who had set type on a Republican paper. or to appoint to your staff a man who ran on the negro Republican ticket in 1880, as dId J. P. Gibson, on the governor's staff?" -W. P. Pollock rec alled that the governor had said repeatedly that he would never explan or apologize for a single act he had ever performed or a word that he had ever uttered. "Yet," the speaker went on, "he spent three-fourth's of his, time yesterday explaining the Richey case." Mr. -Pollock again put on exhibi tion his "mixed" Republican ticket of 1880. He also reminded the au dience that there was on the gov ernor's staff, besides J. P. Ghibson, who voted the Republican ticket, the son of the owner of the newspaper on which James L. Sims set type. The speaker got much applause when e referred to "Col. Sottile". This candidate said he had heard that a Greenville cotton mill opera tive had applied for Harrison Neeley's job to run the governor's automobile; but had found that "Harrison Neeley was good enough for the governor." In speaking, Senator Smith said in part: "I was surprised that any Southern man, any South Carolinian. seeing that splendid pageant this morning, should dare to criticise any cause for whom it was inaugurated, because in that pageant there was a combination which should fire the heart of every South Carolinian. In that parade there came into conjunc tion this morning two things that make out State prosperous and glo rious-the silken fibre of cotton, in which there Is every store and church. every school house, the comforts and convenience of every home, and wear ing the bloom- from that cotton was the pride and glory of South Caro lina, her immaculate and matchless womanhood. I want no grander em blem for my coat of arms than the bloom of the cotton worn by noble South Carolina women. and I thank God that was my badge this morn Senator Smith tore off the mask of indifference and cited his record in answer to three different charges pre ferred by the governor. The first was that he had voted to pay $2,000 to a negro family In the event a member of that family had been lynched. "Tillman and the reform party of South Carolina wrote that into the organic law of this State. and when I went to the State legisla ture, I took a solemn oath that I would 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of this State', and so long as there Is law upon the statute books or in the organic law of the State so long, so help me God. I am going to obey that law. I do not propose to perjure myself, and per jure my soul, if some people, a major ity of them, have made a grievious error, for I shall stand by that error. if sc it be, ntil the sovereign peo PLANNING FOR PEACE CARRANZA EXPECTS TO MARCH INTO MEXICAN CAPITAL. First Chief Says Substitution of Car bajal for 'Huerta Does Not Take Away Demand for Reforms. Fighting and bloodshed are at an end in Mexico, if the plans announc ed Thursday by Gen. Venustiano Car ranza, first chief of the Constitution alist army, go into effect. Gen. Car ranza declared his main object now would be to conduct negotiations for the Constitutionalists to enter Mexico City and establish their government wihout 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 med iators or direct with the Federals. Unconditional surrender, however, will be the only condition on which the negotiations will -be successful. Carranza declared that the "re forms for which the Constitutional ists fought must be obtained at what ever cost". "The resignation of Huerta and the substitution of Car bajal in itself will not cause the Con stitutionalists to compromise on a; single point, the principles upon which the movement was founded," said Gen. Carranza. "If the government machinery which through those ends may be obtained is not surrendered volun tarily by the party "f Huerta, they will be obtained by force." Because of the effort to make the installation of the Constitutionalists a peaceful one, Gen. Caranza said it would probably be a month before he entered Mexico City. He stated that he did not believe that Carbajal was strong enough to handle effectively the reins of power passed over to him by Huerta. Gen. Carranza reiterated, however, that the Constitutionalists would ac cept .nothing short of complete sur render. In a statement the first chief declared: "Undoubtedly the first move of the successor of the usurper Huerta will be to open negotiations with the Con stitutionalists for a complete surren der. This is the logical deduction of the action he will take. Nothing less than a complete surrender will sat isfy the Constitutionalist. However, if Carbajal fails to take this measure to bring about peace in Mexico, we shall continue to fight our way to victory, which already is assured. We are fighting for justice for the Mexi can people and are certain our efforts will be crowned with success. A quick victory by the advance of our troops is a certainty if it does not come through unconditional surren der." pie have corrected it. "He said I had voted against the 'Jim Crow' car bill. Mr. Pollock, who is on this platform to-day, had offer ed an amendment, or a stubstitute to have separate coaches for the races. Turn to page 423 of the House Jour nal of 1898, and read 'the record of the vote of those who voted with Banks Caughman when the other substitutes had been laid on the table, to put a division in our ocaches, thus separating the races, and if you do not nd tiihat E. D. -Smith voted for the separate coach law I will quit this race. "He called up the question of Mr. Sims' appointment," Senator Smith ~went on. "That was Mr. Tillman's appointment, but I gladly confirmed him wen It came up, because I had promised Mr. Tlllman that whomso ever the president nominated for dis trict attorney, as between Mr. Thur mond, whom Mr. Tillman had named, and Mr. Weston, whom I had named, we would confirm, and that I would acquiesce in the appointment of Mr. Sims for United States marshal. I ,stood for Mr. Weston for district at torney and I won my fight. Mr. Wes ~ton was my friend. He went from one side of this country to the other, ~giving his time and spending money with E. D. Smith, fighting the battles 'of the people for better prices for cotton, and that is more than these other lawyers were doing. "When I had an office to give, I gave it .to the man who had helped to put shoes on my babies' feet, who had helped me to put bread in their mouths, who had helped me to clothe their backs, who had helped me put knowledge in their brains, and I do not give a hurrah, whatever else he might be, except a Republican; I do not give a continental so long as when 'the people called he responded. "I would infinitely rather appoint a poor typesetter working to make an honest living, whose heart was loyal to Democracy, who in the stug gle for the -necessities for life was working to make an honest dollar, who of necessity had taken a job as typesetter, even on a Republican pa per, in order that he might keep soul and body together, who, even while his heart was breaking his soul was marching with Hampton in that gal lant fight to redeem South Carolina from the rapine and lust of negro rule, I say that I would rather ap point him than as a colonel on my staff a white South Carolinian who was running on a Republican ticket with negroes to keep their heels upon our State."

Downfall of Huerta After Long Delay. Victoriano Huerta took oath as provisional president of Mexico Febf ruary 19, 1913, the day after Fran cisco I. Madero had been arrested at the national palace. Three days later Madero and Jose Maria Pino Saures, 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 pro visional president was to telegraph William H. Taft, then president of the United States, the following mei. sage: "I have the honor to Inform you that I have overthrown this gov ernment. The forces are with me and from now on peace and prosperity will reign." The republic immediately was plunged into civil war again-notwith standing Huerta's issuance of a proO lamation of general amnesty. The Sonora State congress officially repu diated the provisional government be fore Huerta had settled himself com fortably 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 guerilla campaign. Salazar, one of the highest gen erals in the army, denounced Huerta. Carranza, Constitutionalist leader In Chihuahua, assailed him in a bitter statement made public at San An tonio. Francisco. Villa announced himself an adherent of Madero and joined the ranks of the Northern army. Of the clan of northern revo lutionaries Pascual Orozco was the lone notable figure among the disaf fected who declared for the new gov - ernment. President Taft, nearing the end of his term, left to his successor the 3blem of adjusting diplomatic rela tions with Mexico. To Woodrow Wil son, Huerta sent felicitations on the day of the American president's Inau guration. Hampered at the outset of his-ad ministration by the refusal of the United States to recognize him, Huirta soon faced growing difficulties in raising funds to run his govern ment. His -uneasy hold upon affairs was weakened by -ninor Constitu tionalist victories in the north and by recurring rumors' of a break with Felix Diaz, nephew of Porfirio Diaz and Huerta's ally In the overthrow of -Madero. On May 1 Huerta announced he would urge congress to- call elections in October to* choose his- successor. The congress selected October 26 as the date of the election and a decree to that effect was issued by Huerta on June 3. Felix Diaz, who had an nounced himself as a candidate for the presidency, was sent to Japan on July 17. Henry Lane Wilson, the American ambassador, was recalled to Wash ington and Nelson O'Shaughnessy, charge d'affaires, was left in charge of American Interests In Mexico. Early in August It became known that President Wilson intended to send John Lind, former governor of Minnesota, to Mexico as his personal representative in an endeavor to ar range a'basis for the republic's peace. Huerta announced he would not tol erate Interference. Nevertheless Mr. Lind delivered his note from President Wilson. Huerta refused all proposals made by. the American, chief of which were the suggestions that he resign and that he not me a candidate on elec tion day. Relations between Mexico and the United States became acute. President Wilson proclaimed his poli icy in an address before congress. Huerta was attacked in the Mexi can Senate on October 5 by Senator Dominguez who spoke what was in the minds of himself and some of his colleagues. Dominguez disappeared. To this Huerta's reply was dramatic and swift. He marched a column of troops to the chamber and threw 110 deputies into prison. Next he dis solved congress and took~ unto him self the legislative authority, calling for an election of new members on October 5. Through Mr. O'Shaugh nessy, the United States made repre sentations against violence to the Im prisoned deputies. When it became certain the elec tions had resulted in no constitu tional choice because of the failure of voters to go to the polls; the Ameri can government peremptorily called on Huerta to resign. In a statement to the diplomatic corps on Novem ber 9 he announced that he would de clare the result. of the election null and order another election. . On November 13 Huerta refused to ac cede to the American demand for his resignation and John Lind left Mexi co City for Vera Cruz. Meantime the United States dispatched warships to the Mexican coast and Americans continued to leave Mexico. Rain Sinks Coal B3agres.
