President lluerta that tho chamber (
withdraw the resolution which car- 1
ried the threat, that the Deputies f
would abandon tho Capital owing to i
an alleged lack of guarantees for '
their personal safety.
Senator Dominguez early in the 1
month made a speech in the Senate !
vionlently attacting lluerta, saying 1
that not only had nothing been done '
g during lluerta's regime towards the :
pacification of the country, but that f
the present situation in the Republic 5
was infinitely worse than before, lie '
said the currency, of Mexico had de- '
predated, fields had been neglected
and towns raised and that famine
threatened. He added that the situation
was due first and foremost to
the fact that the Mexican people
could not resign them > Jives to bo
governed by lluerta.
Defore the hour for the regular
opening of the session of the chamber
at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon the
basement and roof of the building
had been packed with troops. Scores
of police were scattered through the
gallery.
When the deputies were- in their
places Minister of the Interior Manuel
Garza Aldape entered tho chamber.
Simultaneously several nundred
Federal troops lined up in front of
tho platform and read the reply of
President Huerta to the resolution
warning him of tho deputies' inten

and demanding an investigation
of the disappearnnge of Senator
Dominguez. The reply said that the
President could do no less than consider
tho resolution an act of unjustified
aggression and transgression of
the rights of the other two powers
?the executive and tho courts.
When the arrests wore made a few
of tho leaders were placed in automobiles
while the other deputies were
taken to the penitentiary in street
cars.
Meanwhile similar demands to recant
had been made upon members
of the Senate who had concurred in
the Chamber's resolution. A committee
of Senators called on President
jiuci ut evilvi m^iiiuuu Liit'ir willingness
to comply with his demands.
Later tho Senators formally withdrew
this action.
In anticipation of possiblo troublo
heavy patrols of troops were put on
tho streets. Tho rapid fire guns
which wero posted in tho interior

WILSON WANTS ACTION |
>i:sikks senate to work on
CI hhency bill
?
Senators Seem to Favor Adjourn\
mailt but President Points Them
to Work That is to bo Don?.
President Wilson lias lot it be
mown that ho does not favor a re ess
of congress at this time, but deirod
continuous and uninterrupted
onsideration of the pending currency
bill. Various reports that the
iresidcnt was attempting to force the
>enate to act more speedily than it
vished and efforts by somo Demo ratic
senatorr to securo a recess unit
November 15 while the senate
Kinking and currency committee was
it work on tiie house bill, brought
10111 those closo to the president a
larification of tlio White House polosition.
The president, they said, had no
dea of attempting to tlx an arbitrary
inie when the currency bill should
>r should not bo enacted into law.
lis wish, as expressed throughout his
conferences with senate leaders, has
men ofr continuous attention to the
uirrcncy measure with the confidence
hat with concentrated effort and
itudy tho'bill would bo out of the
ienate before the beginning of the
December session.
While averse to any haste, the
iresident is anxious that if the senito
can improve upon the house bill,
t will proceed to do so. He still beiovos,
however, that all this can be
lccomplishod during the present session.
On the other hand some of the
jnnntnrs n f?r>nriU 11 f In llirx W ;i wli t ti i'
ton correspondent of the News and
Courier, say that, although President
Wilson will pet a currency reform
bill through the senate, he will not
do so at the present session. It
would ho rash to predict that the
measure will go to the White House
before the end of the year 19 13. The
more likely chance is that the finishing
touches will ho applied late in
.1 an nary.
Senator Hoke Smith, "an original
Wilson man," predicts January 1 r? for
the vote in the Senate. Some who are
not original Wilson men, but supporters
of the Administration, say that
they do not see how the bill can become
law before February lf>. There
is practically nobody in either branch
of Congress, irrespective of party or
previous utterances, who will say
that ho thinks tho President is correct
in regarding currency legislation
probable before the regular session,
which meets in December.
President Wilson himself has never
wavered in his apparent confidence,
and he has invariably responded with
an afllrmative answer to the categorical
questions put to him as to his
expectation of results at tho special
session.

It I 'D CHOSS SEALS.
Half Million Christmas Seals for
South Carolina.
"Five hundred thousand Red Cross
Christmas Seals have been ordered
from Washington as a preliminary
for tho State-wide sale in South Carolina,"
according to a statement issued
by tho Red Cross Seal Commission of
South Carolina. "This order," continues
the statement, "includes placards,
signs, blotters, envelopes for
packing tho seals, newspaper cuts
and colored lantern slides of the seal
to bo used In the motion picture
shows."
The plan of tho commission is to
securo some organization or individual
in every city, village and hamlet
in the state to push the sale of the
Christmas seals. As the entire movement
is a volunteer effort to raise
money for the light against "Mankind's
Worst Enemy," tuberculosis,
the commission feels sure of the most
hearty co-operation.
It is a well established fact that
tuberculosis is nearly always curable
in its early stages and above all is
preventable. The disease is fought
with the simple weapons of fresh
air, both day and night, good food
and plenty of rest. It is to spread
this gospel of the means of good
health that tho commission is devoting
its energies to tho sale of the
Red Cross Seals.
Already at the headquarters in
Columbia unsolicited requests for the
seals have been received from people
who wish to sell them in their respective
communities. Those in South
Carolina who are interested in this
movement and who desire to he of
assistance as agents aro asked to
send in their names to The Red
Cross Seal Commission of South Carolina,

CANAL ABOUT READY
WILSON TOUCHES OFF DYNAMIT3
UNDER GAMBOA DIKE
?
MAKING ROUTE CLEAR
Dream of Centuries Realized When
President rrcssos Ihitton at Washington
Sending Telegraphic Clash
to Panama, Fvploding Dynamite
and Destroying Great Barrier.
The momentary touch of a key by
the President of tho United States
Friday sent a Hash of electricity
through a continuous telegraph and
cable connection of 4,000 miles, setting
off a gigantic blast of dynamite
which exploded the Gamboa dike, the
last of the great physical barriers to
water communication in the Panama
Canal. It was an extraordinary feat
of telegraphy, especially planned for
the occasion. At precisely 2 o'clock
Friday afternoon, President Wilson
by simply closing a telegraph key at
the White House sent the current
over land, under sea and just a few
minutes later came tho message informing
him that tho explosion had
been successful.
The special circuit had been set up
early in tho day and tho telegraph
companies stationed men at every
imnortant noint en route to iruard
tho continuous connection and prevent
mechanical interference. A few
minutes before 2 o'clock Chief Operator
10. W. Sniithers, talking to Galveston,
Texas, asked:
"Is the cable ready?"
"Yes," came the answer, and soon
Galveston answered that "Pa", the
telegraph call of Panama City was
heard. Hy agreement the operator
at the White Ilouse made four distinct
dots at 20 seconds before 2
o'clock. This gave tho signal for the
engineers at tho Ganiboa dike to be
in readiness for the flash. They waited
twenty seconds on the dot. President
Wilson closed the key which
sent tho current into tho dynamite
apparatus.
"There, it is all over," smiled the
President, "Ganiboa is busted."
While the scene at the White
House was a happy one, at John Hopkins
Hospital, forty miles away, there
lay at the point of death the man who
would have given most to witness the
destruction of Gam boa dike. It was
Lieut. Col. David H. Gaillard, the engineer
who directed the excavation of
Culebra Cut, one end of which was
blocked by tho Ganiboa dike. Col.
Gaillard is suffering from a general
breakdown as a result of his long
labors in tho Canal Zone.
Between tliroo and four thousand
persons from Panama and Colon cities
and various sections of the Canal
Zone journeyed to the scene to witness
tho demolition of the barrier,
and while the event of destroying the
dike was spectacular to a degree and
successful in its every detail, some
disappointment was evinced because '
the cntiro dike was not destroyed,
rtter demolition was not carried out,
because of the fear that tho concussion
might damage the railroad trestle
crossing the cut near San Miguel
locks. Tho two remaining sections
will bo dynamited at some future
date. The spectators lined the banks
of the cut, outside the zone of danger,
occupying every available vantago
point. As the hour approached
when President Wilson would press
tho button to explode tlie dynamite
in the dike a hush of expectancy fell
over all. When the minute hand of
watches passed the hour of 2 o'clock
tho suspense became still greater and
thn PIlRlliTlf twn mlnntnu lilr.-,
as many hours.
Then suddenly came the muffled
road of (he discharge of 1,000 pounds
of dynamite which sent a shower of
water, mud and rock high into the
air, spreading out as it went upward,
the whole heavily veiled in a cloud
of smoke. A section of the dike CO
feet wide was lifted bodily from its
bed and its component parts scattered
far and wido.
As water began to pour through
the rent made by the explosion whistle
were tied down and the crowd sent
up a great cheer. Not an obstruction
was left in the opening except some
iron pipes which stuck up here and
there. At the hour that President
Wilson set off the blast the water in
the cut was exactly six feet below
the level of Lake Clatun and the in
flow of water afterward was In such
volume that the cut was filled to lake
level within an hour and a half.
There was only one accident. A
woman spectator was struck on the
head hy a rock which was dislodged
by others from the hillside where she
was watching tho explosion. Iter injury
is not serious. All tho heads of
tho canal departments were present
for the epoch-making event as also
were all the members of the Cabinet
of President Perras.

business man of Cleveland, Ohio, was

by a negro maid, and it Is supposed
he fell into tho tub and was unable,

Chester Negro is Killed as a Result
fo Dance llall Quarrel.
Crawford McCullough, colored, was
shot Thursday evening on the farm
of James McCullough, about two
miles from Rodman near Chester, and
died as the result of the wound in his
right side. Coroner Gladden examined
eight witnesses from whom
it was ascertained that the deceased
came to his death at the hands of
Jack Wherry.
From the testimony it appears that
Crawford McCullough and John
Stephenson were the hosts at a party
and dance, and a quarrel aroso between
McCullough and Jack Wherry,
when the latter persisted in dancing
more than one set after having paid
only five cents, the price of one set.
When remonstrated with by McCullough,
it seems that Wherry took of
fense, which finally resulted in his
going off and securing a pistol with
which the killing was dono. He made
his escape.

Tho Fort Mill Times says: The
boy who has the freedom of the
I streets after nightfall, without business
or permission, is cultivating a
very dangerous habit. Any place
where a boy has no business is a
very dangerous place for him whether
it is on tho street, in tho store or
elsewhere. A boy that is all right
likes his home, friends, books or
newspaper in preference to tho class
found on tho streets, without business.
Business men of all kinds look
upon tho boy loafor as a dead beat
of the future.
