Mexieap Congress Cheers President as They Acept Ills Res ignation. Gon. Vlctoriana Huerta resigned from the provisional presidency of the Mexican republic Wednesday night and his resignation was ac cepted by the Senate and Chamber of Deputies by a vote of 121 to 17. Francisco Carbajal then was appoint ed .President and took the oath of of fice att he joint session of the Depu ties and Senators. Huerta's resignation was submit ted through tho department of for eign relations. It was read in the Houbo and was greeted with cries of "Viva Huerta " It then was referred to the Joint committtes of Goberna cion. After brief consideration the committees reported accepting the resignation in the following terms: "Article I. Wo accept the resigna tion presented by Gen. Vlctoriana Huerta as President of the Mexican United States. "Article 2. We call Licentiate Francisco Carbajal, minister of for eign relations, to assume the presi dency." , A ballot was taken and the Joint session approved the report. Presi dent Carbajal proceeded to the na tional palace under an escort or pres idential guards, and all along the way was greeted with tumultuous cheering. The text of Gen. Huerta's resigna tion follows: "Deputies and Sena tors: Public necessity, admitted by the Chamber of Deputies, by the Senate ?and by the Supreme Court called me to the supreme ministry of the republic. Later when In thla | same hall I had the honor of ad dressing you in compliance with the constitutional precept I promised at! All costs to bring about peace. "Seventeen months have passed in that brief period of time I] > formed an army with which to - out that solemn promise. You w the immense difficulties ?? m.V ? Umm iter protection *h*eh i grefct ppwer of this continent has afforded the Rebels ? bo much so that when the revolu tion 'had been broken up, seeing that lt? chief leaders were, and continued j to be divided, the power in question sought a pretext to intervene dtreotly ] in the confllot, and the result of this j was an outrage committed at Vera| Cruz by the American fleet. "Success was had, as you know, in adjusting honorably, through ourj delegates at Niagara Falls, the petty ^Tamplco incident, but the revolution continued with the support of whom we all know. "Ye\r after the highly patriotic work achieved by our delegates at Niagara Falls there still are some who say I, come what may, Book my personal Interest and not that of thei republic. And as I need to rebut | this allegation with facts 1 tondor my fbrnial resignation of the presidency of the republic. "The national Congress must voto that tho 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 tho 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 powor which has dono so much harm and committed ?fco?| many outrages on this continent. "In conclusion, I will say that I abandon the presidency of the re-" public, carrying with me the highest | Bum 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, oh alien ge to wreit from me that pos session. "May God bless you and me." TMC galleries of the chamber were packed before the beginning of the. session. Intense excitement charac terised the gathering and at the close of the reading of Huerta'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 Car jabal to the floor of the House. Senor Carbajal soon appeared In front of the oham* ber, patslrtg through file* of soldiers. He entered, and as he walked to the platform the Deputies Hood. Speaker Manuel Mereado then administered the Oath, ? ?? *. .?T-: ? BRYAN FOR SUFFRAGE , * SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD GIVE WOMEN VOTE. Comes Out Unequivocally for Giving Franchise to Those Who Protect Their Cfiildren. 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 fall 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 reach all the instrumentalities of government, including the police power." "As man and woman are cotenanta 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 enforco. This argument is seldom offered now, for as civilization ad vances lawB are obeyed because they are an expression of public opinion. As we look back over the past, we may well wonder whether the peso* movement would not have grown more rapidly had women been con sulted before hostilities beganT "Second, some urge that woman's lite already is full of care and that the addition of suffrage rather would overburdon 'her or turn lior attention chise might result th a Change of thought and occupation that would relieve the monotony of woman's Iwork. Surely the home will not suf fer if the mother, the child's first teacher, is able to intelligently dis *cuss with her family the science of government and the art of success fully administering it. "Third, many well meaning men and women affirm that ? suffrage would work a harm to woman by les Bonlng.the respect in which she is held. This argument would have more weight had it not been employ e 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 impotont to retard woman's progress." PELLAGRA survey. Board of Health to I<ook Over South Carolina Sltutation. In view of tho alarming increase in pellagra in the laBt year in South Carolina, the state board of health is planning a complete survey of the state, to take place In the flrBt part of August. Dr. James A. Hayive, state hoalth officer, is in receipt dally of letters from all parts of the state describing outbreaks of tho disease in new towns and communities, whore it was hitherto unknown. There are In South Carolina at the present time 3,000 cases of pellagra. Of these, almost BOO are in the coun ty of Spartanburg. The death rate from pellagra In unusually high, eight dying out of every 100 attacked, as compared with a death rate of six 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 I. W. W.

DODGES HIS OWN RECORD Cheraw Man Says Blease Won't Stay on 8 tend and Hear What Others Hare 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. Blouse 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 opened 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 speaking. Mr. Pollock further explained that ho 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, Baying 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 Benator 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 ruleB, say ing he had not heard them denounc ed by anybody but certain candidates. He aBked why had the antl-Blease people changod the ruleslf, as charg ed, they benefited by the alleged frauds committed li\ 1912? He said that then both sides cried fraud; that tho antl-Blease crowd changed the f rieudB were denouncing th?*m< The speaker sorely regretted that there were two faotlons in the State, he said. On one side the race track gamblers and blind tigers were try ing to lino 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 Bald he was satisfied that If Gov. BleaBO went to the Senate about the firet 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 bo hoaten so badly on August 25 that "he'll wake up In China or some oth er uncivilized country, wherd he ought to be." Mr. Pollock began by saying that ho was completely exhausted by cam paigning in Anderson Wednesday, whore ho played the "salamander" in digging a hole In the sand, putting "Cole" Into It, and thon 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 tho stand and hear his record discussed; that not until the campaign opened did he know, the governor was "feather log god", ?*.id that the governor knew his record wan so bad that ho couldn't hoar it and keep his face, but "turns turkoy 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 IB, ho said. He answer ed the governor's charges of negro Republicanism by pointing out that there are two Republican tainted member* on the governor's staff, and one "Dago", who he had understood had only recently made application for naturalisation papers. Senator Smith said that when ho attempted to organise 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 organised, they were so coming in^o 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 suoh a thing as a "self movln" 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 ftouth's prosperity, and that It would become his campaign emblem. It was said that the little bale had been In "storage" IB years. The governor was the last speaker. He oharged that two newspaper men, under the pretext of soliciting sub scriptions, were following the cam paign party from oounty to county. Those he designated as "campfol lowere", one of whom he denonneed CALLS BLEASE DOWN t I COLUMBIA DOCTOR 8AT8 RICH9Y FEIGNED PARALYSIS. - Dr. James H. Mcintosh Says NMUter Dr. Knowlton or Himself Keeom* 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 bjr Got. Cole L. Blease on Tuesday at Abbe ville that he had made a report on the condition of R. A. Rlchejr, a con vict in the penitentiary from Abbe ville county, convicted of raping his adopted daughter, to the effect that Rlchey was a paralytic and that his condition would Improve if released from confinement, which roport the governor used as the Justification for later pardoning Rlchey. Dr. Mcin tosh said that, on the contrary, he, with the late Dr. A. B. Knowlton, of Columbia, had examined Rlohey 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 to In vestigate the condition of R. A. Richey of Abbeville, thon at the State penitentiary. This he and Dr. Knowl ton had done and had found, after a thorough examination of Richey, that ho was fetgning paralysis and had so informed the governor in a written statement signed both by himself and Dr. Knowlton. Dr. Knowlton, a prominent physi 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. Bilease. The following is a re print of the report of the section of Gov. BlenBo's speech made at Abbe ville, in which he made reference to the Richey case, as it appeared in The Columbia Record: "The chief executive, saying that a number of lies had been circulated about the R. A. Rlchey case, stated that he was not explaining or apolo gizing for his 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 Rlchey Is a par alytic and his condition would Im prove If released from confinement." The 'following is the written, state ment of Dr. Molntosh, furnished a re porter tor The Record: "It fa true that I ?m appointed on MPS that with the late Dr. B. Knowl ton I did go to the penitentiary and make such an examination. Bnt It Is not true that the report of the said committee signed by Dr Knowlton and myself in any way j unamended a pardon or parole of tu.. said R. A. Rlchey. The fact being' that both Drs. Knowlton and I fully agreed that his 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 its trade and Its population is to be attractive. Attractiveness is of many kinds t>ud 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 stroets well Bprinkled, green lawns closely cropped, neatly painted and well-kept houses and out-buildings reflect a diligence and prosperity that are almost as per* suasive an some of the more tangi ble and material appeals of cost and quality. One may Imagine, for example# what a transformation could be ef fected in this town If every window on Its business streets were occupied by a flower box filled with beautiful flowoflng 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 homos and places of business.

MUST PROTECT SECRETS i GOVERNMENT ARRESTS AVIATOR FOR TAKING PICTURES. Pttotopupha PsMMwd In ? Western Mmudne Bhowlng DefeniM of Onal C*om? Trouble. Warrants (or the arrest of Chas. K. Weld, editor of the Sunset maga slnt; 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 Sal} Francisco. The charge against all four Is the disclosure of military sec rots. The penalty Is ten years' Imprisonment or a 910,000 fine for ?uch dlscloeure If made abroad, and on$ year, or a< $1,000 fine, If made in the United State*. In April Sunset published an arti cle entitled "Cau 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 magaslne on one of the photos, against whloh the war department particularly complained, was ns fol lows: "This Is one of the most significant photos ever published in this coun try. Below the aeroplane from which the picture was taken lie the Naos Islands, In 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. 4 "On the island, almost directly un der the aeroplane, can be seen the emplacement for the most powerful Weapon ever constructed, the first sixteen-lnch disappearing gun, which has an effective range of about twelve miles. V'Here la the significance of. the photo: The aeroplane might have oorae in time of warn from a battle ship out of range of the big gun, ItytBff-a aafe height and carrying five hundred pounds of high explosives if*<oad-ef a qamera. - Would not the %' Iqb M talplesa against such a foer" > The editor deecrlbed the clrcum-, 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. Dm.

ANSWERS THREE CHARGES Turning Aside From Cotton Speech Senator Telia of Voting Money to Family of Negro Lynched, SayB 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 Iflfuap, with the senator on the first, perched high up on two bales of cotton. An other of the train boro the "hoe bri gade," each occupant being armed with one of those deadly goose-nock 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 ltB tall, the man himself wearing a mask of cotton whiskers and a coat cov ered with Bplotches of lint. A brass band of 12 pieces occupied another wagon, and crashed out lively airB as the parade went by. in the other wagons were farmers, their wives and daughters, there being in all 89 men nnd 23 women. Four mounted scouts led the procession, each bearing a banner Inscribed, "Tho Farmers' Friend for tho Senate, E. D. Smith." Gov. Illoase, who was tho first speaker, made his characteristic "Haskelllte'- and negro Republican charges, and said that he had no fearB 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. "Rut If 1 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 koep them from it." L. D. Jennings spoko after the gov ernor and began by reminding the audience that tho IlJease forces hud often consoled themsolves by saying that all the fraud of two years ago was on tho "other side". He then Backed: "Well, if all the fraud was on the other Bide two yearB ago, why should *he Bloasltes complain when those rules are so framed that now /here can be no fraud ?" This. candi date assured the Anderson people that he had never gone into auy fight that h$ didn't stay In to the finish, and the governor's charge that there would be withdrawing did not apply to him. Mr. Jennings drew much applause when he discussed tho appointment of James L. 81ms 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 marBhal 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 stafT?" W. P. Pollock recalled that tho governor had said repeatedly that he would never explain 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-fourths of his time yesterday explaining the Rlchey case." Mr. Pollock again put on exhibi tion his "mixed" Republican ticket of 1880. He also reminded tho au dience that there was on tho gov ernor's staff, besides J. P. Olbson, who voted the Republican ticket, tho son of the owner of tho newspaper on which James L. Sims sot type. The spoaker got much applause when he referred to "Col. Sottile". 1 his candidate said he had hoard that a Oroonvllle cotton mill opera tive had applied for Harrison Neeloy's Job to run tho governor's automobile, but had found that "Harrison Neoley was good enough for the governor." In speaking, Senator Smith said In part: "I was surprised that any Southern man, any South Carolinian, seeing tlint splendid pageant this morning, should dare to criticlso 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 mitke out State prosperous and glo rious ? the. silken fibre of cotton, In whlnh there In 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 Ood that was my badge this morn ing. Senator Smith tore off the mask of , Indifference and cited his record In answer to three different charges pre ferred by the governor. Tho 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 partjr of South Carolina wrote that Into the organlo law of this State, ?nd when T went to the State legisla ture, I took a solemn oath that I would 'preserve, protect and defend the constitution of this State', and *o long as there Is law upon the statute hooks or in the organic law of the State so long, so help me Cod, I am going to obey that law.

CARRANZA EXPECTS TO MARCH INTO MEXICAN CAPITA L. First Chief Buys Substitution of Cur bajal for Huerta Does Not Take Away Demand for Reforms. Fighting and bloodshed are at an end In Mexico, If the plaAs announc ed Thursday by Gon. Venustlano Car ranza, first chief of the Constitution alist army, go Into offect. (Ion. Car ranza declared his main object now^ would be to conuact negotiations for the Constitutionalists to enter Mexico City and establish their government wlhout further disorder, shedding of blood or damage to property. How theso negotiations would be arranged Carranza doclared he had not yet determined. He was unable to say at this time whether they would be conducted through the med iators or direct wltji tho Federals. Unconditional surrender, ? however, will bo tho only condition on which the negotiations will be successful. ! Carranza doclared that tho "re forms for which the Constitutional ists fought must bo obtained at what ever cost". "The resignation of Huerta and the substitution of Car bajal In Itself will not cause tho Con stitutionalists to compromise on a single point, tho 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 of Huerta, they will be obtained by force." Because of tho 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. Hp stated that he did not believe that Carbajal was strong enough to handle effectively the reins of power passed over to him by Huerta. (?en. Carranza reiterated, however, that tho Constitutionalists would ac cept nothing short of complete sur render. In a statement the first chief declared : "Undoubtedly the first move of tho 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 Constitutionalists. 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 anj lighting for justice for the Mcxl *&n 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 doos not come through unconditional surren der." plo have corrected It. "He said I had voted against the 'Jim Crow' car bill.

"That was Mr. Tillman's appointment, but I gladly confirmed him won it came up, because I had promised Mr. Tillman that whomso ever tho president nominated for dis trict attornoy, as betweon Mr. Thur mond, whom Mr. Tillman had named, and Mr. Weston, whom I had nainod, wo would confirm, and that I would acquiesce In tho appointment of Mr. Sims for United States marshal.
