The fire from the rebel rifles and machine guns was long sustained. It was by no moans certain at that time that tho coup wljjch had been carried out meant the end of hostilities. At 3:30 in the afternoon the cannonading was still heavier than before and the rattle of machine guns was heard in various quarters. At that time San Francisco street was being cleared by Huerta as if ' he were expecting an attack. A half hour later the order to cease firing w^as sounded and the battle was over. A few loyal members of Madero's staff rushed into the room when Madero was strugugling with the soldiers and went to his rescue, but ineffectually. Capt. Garmedla, who had just been appointed chief of police, advanced upon Col. Riveroll, < shooting and wounding him seriously. Immediately there was an exchange of shots and three or foui members of the President's staff are said to have been wounded. Just to make the records clear, Madero has been given reasonable time in which to write his resignation. Failure to J _ At.

Young Ijad Killed by Auto. ine eignt-year-oia son or ixiat Watson, a planter, was run down and killed eleven miles north of Columbus, Ga., Wednesday afternoon by an automobile, driven by S. W. O'Neal. The lad, who was playing with a group of school children, attempted to cross the road in front erf the approaching car. Two of his playmates made ineffectual attempts to seize him as he started across the highway. American Believed Killed. Henry Weiss, general manager of the Mexican Pacific Company, a Seattle corporation, is supposed to have been killed in the fighting in the City of 'Mexico. found all the entrances guarded. One soldier, over-excited by the words of Illanquet, pointed his gun at the breast of Madero, who leaped upon him. In the the struggle the gun was discharged, but no one was injured. The finest irony attended the arrest of Gustavo Madero, the brother of fhe President, distinguished as a politician, to whoso doors most of the evils of the Administration have been laid. He had invited General Huerta to luncheon at the Gambrinus, a popular restaurant. This was a custom with Gustavo Madero in winning favor. Gen. Huerta, however, had invited guests unknown to his host. In a room adjoining ho had stationed a detatchment of Calpultepec guards. All were preparing to take their seats, when at a signal from Iluerta, the officer in command entered. Pointing a pistol at Madero ho announced he was under arrest. At the same moment soldiers, filing into the room, cleared it of all except Lhe principals. Gustavo loudly protested against this indignity, but Sen. Huerta replied in a loud voice, condemning the iMadoro family. Up to a late hour the Vice Presilent of the Republic, Jose Pino Suariz, had not been found. Detachnenta of troops were searching for TAKEN FROM THE RECORD 1 WELL NOT PRINT ABUSIVE MESSAGE OP BLRASB. ? i Senator fUhMi'a lUpljr and Col. Men Abney*s loiter Alao loft Oat the Record. On Saturday the State Senate adopted the report of the Judiciary committee and ordered printed bo much of the governor's message on Senator Tillman and the press as referred to legislation. The rest with the communications of Senator Till man and Ben Abney and others will not be printed. It will be remembered that the convening of the General Assembly was the signal for a message from the Governor, in which he abused Senator Tillman for opposing him during the summer's campaign, charging that the Senator had allied himself with the Gonzalea brothers in an effort to defeat Blease. Senator Tillman promptly let fly at Governor'Blease in return, sending in to the legislature a letter in which he characterized the governor as a "low type of man". This communication would hare probably .been received with little comment had not the Senator seen fit to incorporate in it certain allusions to the influence of Col. B. L. Abney and the railroads over the legislature that were not considered by the August body as altogether creditable to themselves. Umbrage was at once taken by the Senate, and Tillman's letter was made the occasion for the several resolutions. Friday an attempt to kill the resolutions demanding of Senator Tillman proof of his charges of railroad domination of the general assembly and providing for a probe into alleged railroad contributions to the campaign funds and ascertain what legislators, if any, held railroad passes, caused a flurry in the Senate. The Senate voted to lay the resolution on the table, but on the vehement protest of Senator Young, reconsidered and returned them on the calendar. During the course of the discussion one or two of the Senators took occasion to heap abuse on Senator Tillman. They are enemies of the Senior Senitor, and their abuse will not harm him. , ? Model Husband Found. Dr. Adeline G. Soule, of Kansas City, is the wife of Dr. Isaac C. Soule. She is holding him up to the Kansas City Housewives' League as 'a model husband". The Augusta Chronicle says information is that not only has Dr. Isaac Soule practiced medicine beside his wife, but he co-operates with her, professionally and omestically, in every way. They cook together, own everything jointly and get along finely. Recently LMrs. Soule described to her sister members of the league her idea of the model husband. In part, sh said: "The model husband has no time to run around to clubs at night. The right sort of man is as interested in the domestic question as the woman. He will do his share of the work and all of it if he has to, and he will be cheerful about it. Ho will plan conveniences for his wife in the home and take care of the baby. He will make the burden of housekeeping a divided one. Only a wife should know how to cook and and cook well. Therein lies the bal ance of the power. "The kitchen is the central point in the home, not only because of the correct preparation of food but from the standpoint of economy in labor. The wives who must be their own housemaids must some way economize labor. Here let me tell you that the living room, which gets so much deserved attention, can very nearly take care of itself. "The largest part of every woman's time while in the house should be given to the thoughtful preparation of food. This she cannot do without four provisional conditions: plenty of good ventilation, good light, convenient size, and sensible furnishing." We agree pretty well with Mrs. Soale. If all husbands and wives lived up to the rules she lays down, there would be more real happy homes and less bickering and strife. Let every husband and wife read what Mrs. Soule says and then practice it for a month or two and see how much brighter things would be at home for all. ? Seven Children Die in Fire.

The House adopted tho Senate amendment to the Medical College bill and the Charleston Medical College is now the medical department of the State University to be located in Charleston. ? The Anderson Mail says "it was not a bill to muzzle the press, but to put the press on a lower plane of self-defense than the unscrupulous demagogue who falsifies against, the i press." t Some Facto About Mexico. , Many questions are being aske about Mexics Just at this tim? Therefore a few pertinent facts abou that country will be of interest. Mex ico contains 767,000 square milei It weuld make twenty-nine states a large as South Carolina. The popu latioa a few years ago was 11,614, 912. The boundary line between i and the United States Is about 1,40' miles. The Rio Grande river form the boundary for about half that dis tance. Its length from Central America t< the northwestern limit is 1,990 mllo its greatest breadth is 750 miles; a Vera Cruz it is about 540 miles an< at the narrowest place it is 14< miles. It has 6,086 miles of *e; coast. It lies between the Gulf o Mexico and the Pacific ocean. 1 range of mountains extends througl the whole territory. They are near er the Pacific than the Gulf. Thon are a dozeu mountain peaks 10,00< to 17,000 feet high. There are a hal dozen active volcanoes. According to the message of Fresi dent Madero to congress last Septem her the national army was compose* of 107 generals, 6,236 officers an< 49,332 men The budget calls fo an expendtture of $55,500,000, ui increase of nearly $3,000,000 ove the previous year. A $10,000,001 loan was negotiated early last yea and another was about to be aske< when the uprising took place. Dur ing last year 1,000 miles of new rail road were under construction to cos $1 4,000,000 and work was suspend ed, because of the expense, on tlx new $18,000,000 national capitol an* the $12,000,000 national theater. They have every variety of climat* l'roni tropical heat the year round tc mountains always covered with snow Silver and gold mines are rich anc many Americans have gone dowi there to operate the mines. Tlx mineral wealth includes also gold iron, tin, zinc, mercury, lead. Aboil 1 00,000 men are employed in tlx mining and smelting establishments There is in sight a low-grade coa supply, estimated at nearly 300,000. 000 tons, and in the petroleum de posits on the gulf there is a suppl] of fuol oil of incalculable value Much, if not all, of the capital user in the development of these rcsour ia Amprifati and British. The history of this country goes back to the seventh century, wher the Toltecs were in possession. AT ter 5 00 years they were succeeded b> the Aztecs and their dynasty ceas^c with the Spanish invasion, undei Cortez in 1519. When the Span iards came to [Mexico they dicoverec ruins of immense buildings whicl seemed very ancient. After Mon tezuma yielded to the Spaniards, foi more than three centuries the coun try existed in semi-barbaric way | After a long struggle, the territory o Texas secured its independence ir 183 8, then came the war with Mexicc in 1847 and the surrender of the city in 1848. After that date Mexico has beer torn by internal dissentions and suff ered from anarchy until the present time. You cannot expect an orderly progressive government when 5,000, 000 of the population are full-blood ed Indians; 3,000,000 Mestizoes, oi half-castes; 1,500,000 Creole-whites; 50,000 Spaniards; 10,000 negroes; 100,000 Americans and Europeans It would be impossible to bring such a mixed population up to that poinl of virtue and civilization necessary for best citizenship and good governent. The Spaniards are the ruling class. Many of the Indians and mixed race are held in a state of slavery, That will always be the condition ci a country where there is such diversify in * population. Mulcro'fl Fatal 'Mistake. The New York World thinks that Felix Diaz and his followers have sot back the clock of political progress in Mexico for a generation. They have not only discredited their own country but they have worked harm to every other Datin-American republic. Even Cuba and the Philippines must inevitablly suffer as a result of this cut-throat rebellion. The revolution that drove Porforio Diaz out of Mexico was grounded in definite principles of human liberty with which all free men could sympathize. When the new Madero government was finally established the fact was generally recognized that it represented a step forward. Of the validity of Madero's election there could be no question, and the worst that could be said of his administration was that it was more lliberal and more humane than that of the dictatorship. When young Diaz and his cutthroats made their appeal from the ballot to the bullet they indicted Mexico's fitness for self-government They aro fighting for no principle, merely for power and plunder; and while the memory of this exploit lasts the political stability of Mexico will be under suspicion, no matter what may be the outcome of their rebellion. Their exploits will be a standing invitation to all adventurers to conspire against any stable government. When young Diaz was captured at Vera Cruz by the Federal forces it was the general opinion of the civilized world that he should be dealt with leniently. The strong protests made against his execution were heeded by Madero and an unworthy life was spared. It is now evident that this policy of mercy was a mistake. ' * , t f >. r ' ? : * i ? ?

II ^ would be unwise for this country tc 1 intervene whenever a revolution maj ~ arise in the various countries siwpl) r- because American capital is invested D in them or because some American! f are residents of them. American! who may live in countries where - revolutions break out should take - their chances with other citizens livi ing there. I We agree with Senator Tillman r Bacon and other high officials of the i Government, that the situation ir r Mexico is greatly to be deplored, nol 3 only for its effect upon the Mexicans r but for its possible effect upon our1 selves. The greatest calamity thai - could befall us in this connectior " would be for a condition to arise that t would require or provoke us to in" tervene and endeavor to take charge 3 of affairs in Mexico. It would abso' lutely revolutionize this government The Spanish-American War did more 3 to overturn and revolutionize oui > institutions than did the Civil War. Senator Bacon says "if we went irir1 to Mexico it is very doubtful if we i should ever come out of it. If we 5 were to attempt thereafter to hold ? Mexico and govern that country it 1 could only be by making it a subject 5 colony, as It could never become a part of our representative govern1 ment." The Senator is right, and " for that reason the United States had " better keep out of the Mexican mess, ' if she can possibly do so. In intervening in Mexico wo have much tc * lose and very little or nothing tc gain. So we had better keep out of the mess. * On March 1, 184 5, the House, by a * vote of 120 to 98, and the Senate, by - a vote of 2 7 to 25, passed a resolu' lion admitting Texas as a state into 1 the Union; the war with Mexico ber* gan May 11, 1846; the battle of - Buena Vista was fought on February 1 22, 1847; and Vera Cruz was taken 1 in March, and as a result of a treaty - signed February 2, 1848, the United [* States received Texas, New Mexico - and California in return for the pay . ment of $15,000,000. f . ? ? ? Farm Bands and Louns. ) r The town of Laharpe, Kansas, is evidently a prosperous and farsighted community. Its treasury, after supplying all municipal needs has a t substantial surplus. The city authorities have decided that instead ' of depositing this fund in banks they will offer it as loans to the farmers . of the adjacent country at five per cent, interest, accepting as security ' mortgages on the land. The Atlanta Journal says "not ev{ ery town, indeed, few are so fortu nate as to have an overflowing public , treasury, though if their alTairs were . always conducted under a businessr like system of government, that . might more frequently be the case. But where such a surplus does exist ? it could not be turned to better ac. count than the development of agricultural interests. "If this is true of the West, it is even more emphatically true of the South. One of the vital needs of - this section is the moans of securing money at a reasonable rate of inter1 est for the improvement of farms cmul trie cuiihuiu|juoii ui wir structive enterprises. And one of the most inviting opportunities for capital in the East and the North and even in Europe is the lendTU* of money for this purpose and on theso terms." ? Grain Merchant a Suicide.
