VOTED FOR HUERTA!
BE LED TICKET IN MEXICAN SPECIAL
ELECTION
WILL RENOUNCE VOTES
^ Constitution Forbids His Acceptance
<? f the Flection?Said That llis
Designation Will Cause Presidency
to Devolve I'pon lllanquet?Americans
Prepare for Flight.
With the election of Gen. Victoriano
Huerta and Gen. Aureliano Blanquet
almost a foregone conclusion,
according to olUcial returns up to
Thursday, tho question as to what
W ashington proposes to do is keeping
the foreign residents and the majority
of Mexicans in a state of nain
ful suspence. On the surface at least
the Administration is giving little
consideration to the subject, seemingly
taking the ground that the Mexican
people have declared in favor of Hucrta's
continuance in the Presidency.
Although it openly is charged in
many quarters that it was ofllcial
pressure that resulted in the rolling
up of the majorities for liuerta and
ltlanquet, which are now being otllcially
reported from all parts of the
country where tho election forms
were observed, the fact remains, and
it is pointed out that there is no possibility
of going back of the returns,
that there is no thought that any
nt lior nnndifliiln nr?11o?l nonrlv ntmiiurh
votes (o place the Hucrta-Blanquet
ticket in jeopardy.
In view of Washington's previous
representations on the subject the
next move of the American Government
Is awaited at Mexico city with
no litGe misgivings. Many Americans
already have packed their portable
belongings preparatory to (light and
are facing the necessity of leaving
their household effects to fate. They
express little hope of finding anything
left upon their return. The Inadequate
storage facilities are overtaxed
and most of those who contemplate
flight expect to leave their homes in
charge of Mexican caretakers.
What the new Mexican congress
will do with reference to the elecions
no one undertakes to predict, although
the statement made recently
by Senor Moheno, minister of foreign
affairs, is regarded as reflecting the
Executive's desire. Senor Moheno asserted
that in the event of Congress
finding that a majority of the votes
worn cast for Huerta and Blanquet,
the votes cast for Huerta would be
declared void by reason of bis ineligibility
under tbe constitution to succeed
himself, and Blanquet would assume
the Vice Presidency and the
noting Presidency, pending the calling
of new elections.
Mexican attorneys take issue with
the foreign minister on this point,
declaring that if Gen. Blanquet is
adjudged elected to the Presidency it
will be for the unexpired six years,
term which was begun by Porfirio
Diaz, in December, 1010, and continued
by Francisco do la Burro, Francisco
Madero and Gen. Huerta, and
not for a temporary period, since
there would be no occasion for further
elections until the regular Constitutional
period of 1010.
The flight of Gen. Felix Diaz, while
never arousing groat interest in the
Capital, practically has ceased to he a
subject of comment. Tlis candidcay
was regarded by many Mexicans as a
mere incident in the campaign and
never was bo taken seriously; his
flight eliminates him from consideration.
Frederico Gamboa, Manuel Calero
and David do la Fuente appear
to have conceded their defeat in the
face of obstacles alleged to have been
found in the way of their adheretns.

While Speeding Around Track Young
llcyuard of Hion, Meets \\ it It Fat t
al Collision. . | "
Benjamin linger Hey ward, Jr., of
Hion, formerly an athletic star at the 1
University of South Carolina, died in
a Columbia hospital ThtubUay night
of surgical shock, from injuries comprising
double compound trac-.ures
of the right leg and left forearm,
with contusions of the right knee,
which he sustained in :? collision between
his motorcycle anl a roadworking
machine Wednesday afternoon
at the State fair grounds track.
Ilo was the promoter of the motorcycle
races of the day and was "tuning
up" his own mount preparatory to
entering the competition.
Mr. Heyward was a son of II. II.
Hey ward, Sr., general manager of the
Winnsboro Granite corporation at
UTon, and was associated with his
father in business. A brother, Dan
Heyward, is a member of the football
team of the University of South Carolina.
Amputation was perforce resorted
to after the accident, hut the
injuries received were too extensive
and death resulted from surgical
shock at 11:110 o'clock Wednesday
night, about nine hours after the collision
between tho motorcycle and
the road scraper. . \
His fatal mishap occurred at about i
2:40 o'clock. Glenn, riding an Ex- <
oelsior, had circled the track several
times, when Hey ward went out to ]
"tune up" on the same Indian machine
with which Glenn made the
record time for the Columbia track
last Fourth of July. Ileyward was
al>out a quarter of a mile behind
Glenn, when he started in to lap him.
As the two riders turned into the
hack stretch they were confronted
by a road scraper. Glenn cleared it
by inches, but Hey ward, who was
just about to pass him, and therefore
was higher up on the track,
plougher into the heavy apparatus
head-on and was thrown forward
about twenty feet. Ho encountered
the hub of a front wheel of the scraper.
The hub was broken off and the
iron spokes bent. The front forks
of Heyward's motorcycle were sheared
off, and magneto and the front
cylinder were broken and the rear
forks were out almost in two
The injured rider was conveyed
promptly to the hospital in a racing
automobile.

Preston Metts Shot at Dorange Sunday.
Preston Metts, the young white
man who was wounded during a tight
with a negro near his home at Dorange
Sunday night, told a reporter
for The News and Courier Wednesday
at the Roper Hospital, Charleston,
the details of the shooting. Mr.
Metts is in a serious condition, hut
his recovery is expected, and when
questioned he said he was confident
he would he up and about soon.
Ho was very weak, and it was only
with great difficulty that he was able
to speak. Sometimes he took as long
as a minute to pick up the broken
thread of the conversation, lie spoko
slowly, and answered what questions
he could by nodding his head. He
seemed to be suffering a great deal.
At his bedside was his father, Ransom
I. Metts, who came down from
Dorange when a brother who brought
, the wounded man to Charleston returned
Tuesday morning.
Because of his condition he was
. not pressed for facts regarding the
. shooting, and henco told the tale as
briefly as possible. "I had just gotten
off (he train at Dorange Sunday
night, some time after 7 o'clock,"
said the wounded man. "On the road
near the station was a white boy I
knew and a negro named Mosley was
cursing him for everything. I spoke
to the negro, and both the boy and
myself started toward our home the
negro going ahead. Further down
the road tho negro kept cursing the
boy, and when ho refused to stop a
few words followed, and 1 struck him
several times with my bare fist.
"Tho negro didn't like it and we
mixed it up. The boy helped me. It
was dark. I heard a pistol shot fired,
and I called to the boy if ho had
a pistol, and he said no. Then I
heard another shot, and in a few
seconds I felt pains in my stomach.
T hollered that I was shot and tho
hov came to mo. The netrro ernt. awav
through a cotton patch."
11 is father then told of his son being
taken to Reevesville, and from
there to Ch.irleston. According to
the elder Mr. Metts, the negro was
raised In that vicinity, hut only recently
returned from Florida, and
that he has not yet been arrested.
Mr. Metts* wound is in the abdomen
and his condition is not considered
critical. The wound was caused
by a 32-calibre pistol.
Senator E. T). Smith attended the
Stato Fair, and was greeted by a
great many friends who seem to he
santruine of the Senator's re-election.
While waiting for the finance committee
to report tho currency bill, the
Senate has no work before it, and in
this way the Senators can get away
a few days to look after homo affairs.

a
John L. McLaurin withdrew, from 1:
he race for governor Thursday morn- t
ng, and announced that he was done
vitli politics forever, as a result of
ho chilly reception he met with at
he Blease conference Wednesday
tight. Mr. McLaurln was formerly
nited States Senator and was a
ironilnent lieutenant in the Tillman
anks until they parted company,
^rom ten years of obscurity he
nnerged to till out the unexpired
erm in the State Senate from Marl>oro
County and had been understood
o be in the race for Governor to succeed
Governor Blease.
Senator McLaurin, in withdrawing
Tom the race for Governor, issued a
formal statement declaring that he
believed factionalism had gone too
far and that the people would not get
together. lie said ho was oyt of harmony
with the Bleasc conference as i
expressed Wednesday night, and '
maintains that "Bleaseism is not I
higher or nohlor than Tillmanism". i
lie tells tlie people that unless the t
factional tight Is halted, they "will r
make a little Mexico out of South (
Carolina", and says of Bleaseism: t
"This is a prostitution of that great 1
uprising of the people in 1890." His ;
formal statement says: i
"I will not he a candidate for C.ov- t
ornor. There is no field for a man of
really conservative views. I think :
factionalism has gone too far, and 1
am thoroughly satisfied that the peo- (
pie are not going to he permitted to i
get together by the leaders on either
side. The views I expressed at the
conference do not suit either extreme,
and T long ago made up my mind
never to advocate anything which my
inner consciousness teaches me is
wrong. T stand just where I stood
in 1 890?for the people.
"That movement gave the first real
liberty that the masses in South Carolina
ever enjoyed and I find myself
entirely out of sympathy with the
views ex prosed by the other speakers
at the conference. I do not think
that 'Bleaseism is higher and nobler
than Tillmanism'. The spirit that
animated Tillmanism in 1 890 was
higher and liner than the sentiments
I heard expressed Wednesday night.
It is the irony of fate, that I, who
suffered most injustice from Tillman
personally should now ho the solo defender
of Tillmanism.
"While some of tho men who are
inciting class hate and prejudice may
get into olTice. T know that power
gained by such methods is ephemeral
and that the State will suffer. I
went there like a man, said what I
had to say. T don't suit them. They
don't suit me, so T might just as well
he a man. That is better than being
Governor.
"T am out. of politics once and forever,
and feel like a load is lifted off
of me. Instead of a conference of
hitter partisans there should he a
conference of men from both factions,
who are not ofllce-seekers, and a light
made to control the next State Convention.
Then go on and elect a man
Governor who will know 110 faction
and neither friend nor foe in the administration
of public affairs. If we
do not call a halt we will make a little
Mexico of South Carolina and
what for? This is a prostitution of
that great uprising of the people in
1 8b0 which, if I can no. prevent, I at
least will refuse to assist."
The withdrawol of Senator Mcl.aurin
leaves Mr. Charles Carroll Simins,
of Barnwell, as the only out-an-out
I Blease man in the race for Governor.

mon following his speech at the
Bloase conference Wednesday night,
and with the definite withdrawal of
McLaurin, who had been thought to

the tendency of the administration

HOOK WORM STATISTICS
VII Lli TOWNS AIIK NOT FOCI OK
DISKASK.
Vrceiitagc of 111 feetion is Highest on
Farms, According to State Health
Oflicer's Report.
J. Lallruce Ward, M. IV, director
d rural sanitation for the State, has
;lven out some interesting statistics
the hookworm disease in South
Carolina. He is assisted by four men
?Drs. L. A. Riser, F. M. Routh, J. T.
loweli and F. 1). Kodgers?who travI
throughout the State, examining
II those who take the matter seriousy
enough to submit to an examinaion.
The hookworm disease is more
irevalent in the rural districts than
n the cities or mill towns, and it is
o the people who live out in the
ountry where there is no sanitation
aw that these live men in particular
re rendering an invaluable service,
'he more detailed figures of the cases
reated show that the percentage of
he hookworm disease is in proporion
to the degree of sanitation, there
>eing six classes of sanitation, arbirarily
selected. Where the sanitaion
is technically perfect, the presence
of the hookworm is negligible,
>ut the percentage increases until in
ho places where there is no sanitaion
in amounts to about 60 per cent.
>f the children between the ages of
5 and 18, or the school age.
In the quarter that ended Septem
>or 3U there were 0,02r> cases tni roscopically
examined by the four
leld men and 2.9G0 cases examined
n (he laboratory, and it was found
liat about 27 per cent, were infected.
Phese cases are treated with thymol
->r beta-naphtliol onco a week, and
lie average treatment lasts for four
Aei'ks. Other diseases caused by parisites
were also discovered and a
treatment was prescribed for each of
these.
Where there is heat, moisture and
shade, the hookworm disease is usually
found to be very prevalent, and
jontrary to what is generally thought,
the percentage is loss in a mill town
than in the rural district whence the
people came. A person, therefore,
who looks palo is not necessarily infected
nor is one with a ruddy complexion
immune: for this reason all
examinations are carried on under
the microscope.
Out of the 44 counties in the State,
29 of them have appropriated funds
for the carrying on of this most important
work. Though it was frowned
upon at lirst as a medical caprice,
it is now a matter thai 's .riven a
great deal of sober n . earnest
thought.

a prominent citizen of Princeton,
Sheriff John I). Owings and <lc*putios,
in attempting to effect the arrest
of Lace Glover, a negro at Laurens,
and his two boys, on warrants
charging them with the crime, was
forced to kill the father, at half past
f> o'clock Monday morning, at the
cabin home of the negro in Dunklin
Township, just across the line in
Greenvillo County.
On going to the house and surrounding
it the sheriff approached
and rapped on tho door. Glover responded
and opened tho door
after getting a light. When
commanded by tho sheriff to surrender,
the negro reached for his gun in
a rack near the door, hut before he
could uso it the sheriff and one of
liis deputies, having tho drop on the
negro, both fired, killing him on the
spot. Eight shots were fired, six of
which took effect in the negro's body.
The other two found lodgment in the
stock of Glover's gun, which he held
in his hand.
Dob and Wesley Glover and their

Before leaving for jail Bob

WANT TO RULE PRIMARY
Carrol ('. Simiiis Comes Out for (?ov(Timr
on the 111 ease Platform ami
is (iiven an Ovation, Hut Mcl;?urin's
Speech Meets With a Cold Reception
From the Crowd.
Determination to light any effort to
strengthen and make the primary absolutely
fair by throwing around it
needed safeguards and an equal determination
to control the next Democratic
State Convention and State
committee, were prominent features
of the conference of two hundred followers
of CTovernor Colo D. Mease,
who gathered Wednesday night in the
Jefferson Hotel around the banquet
board and listened to speeches from
Coventor Mease and his prominent
lieutenants. The banquet began at
7 o'clock and lasted until midnight.
Speeches from loaders worked the
gathering up at time to the highest
pitch of enthusiasm. Coventor Mease
was given an ovation, and the speakers
vied with one another in paying
tribute to their leader. The meeting
brought forth the positive announcement
from Mr. Charles Carroll Sitnnts
of llarnwell, a close personal and political
friend of the Coventor, that he
would he in the race for governor
next year.
The governor himself emphatciallv
stated that he would take no hand lit I
tlio (lubernatorlal race in the first |
primary, but intimated that lie would
back the Mease man in the second
race if that race he between a Mease
man and an anti-Measite. As equally1
significant was the statement from
(iovernor Mease that he would fight
as long as he lived the man who in*troducod
the resolution in the State
committee last summer providing for
an investigation into the charges of
fraud in the primary. While ho called
no names the reference was clearly
understood to he Richard I. Manning
of Spmter. It brought forth a
storm of cheers.
Senator McLaurin and Mr. C. CX
Sinims were the only gubernatorial
candidates present. Roth made
speeches, but Mr. Simms appeared to
be the favortte of the gathering, cries
of "Our next (Iovernor" and cheers
punctuating bis speech, which was
largely a glowing tribute to (iovernor
Mease and his followers. Senator Mc
| Laurin was given respectful attention
and drew applause, but apparently
bis speech did not contain the material
the crowd wanted. Assistant
Attorney General Dominlck acted as
toastmaster, and In his introductory
remarks was given a rousing reception.
The crowd clearly wanted him
to run for Governor, and this was
suggested by several speakers, but he
positively declined, saying he was going
to be elected to Congress from
the 3rd district.
Governor Blease urged his followers
to attend club meetings and (Secure
control of the convention, bitterly
opposed any change of the primary
announcing that lie would vpto
any legislation along this line, urged
every white man to register. Several
of the small fry also made speeches.
Mr. Charles Carrol Smms in saying
that Bleasism meant something higher
and nobler than Tillmanism started
an ovation and warming up to his
subject kept the crowd cheering all
through his speech. That the illease
conference felt that they were waging
the people's fight was evident in
the way the crowd cheered. They are
enthusiastic over Governor Bloase and
are confident they are going to send
him to the Senate, but fool that thev
ought, to have an out and out Please
man to run for Governor.
There is little doubt but that had
Mr. 0. Tt. Humbert been present he
would have carried the day, for when
Governor Please referred to his illness
and brought to the crowd Mr,
Hembert's message to the effect that
he expected to recover and make t.hf
race and for his followers not tc
leave his standard and when other
speakers referred to him the gathering
cheered Mr. T?ctp hurt's name tr
the echo. With tho feeling that Mr
Rembert's sickness eliminates birr
there was a decided drift towards Mr
Simms, as was evidenced at the ban
quet. Two hundred Please followers
were gathered from every county lr
the State and comprised men fron
every profession and walk of life. T
was an cnthusiasitc gathering of th<
leaders of the Pleaso forces. ?

TOBACCO A GOOD CROP

riJ IM'l Ki:i> HI PI'liV Allot T 215,000,000
POI NDS,
Is Very Popular and Surpasses All
Other Kind in General I'sc?So
Say (io\eminent Experts.
Tlio normal annual production of
flue-cured tobacco 011 a farm-weight
basis is estimated to bo about 2 15,000,000
pounds, according to experts
in the department of agriculture.
Tills type of tobacco is the only American
grown variety that has shown a
tendency to expand our exports.
About 10 per cent., or around 00,000,000
pounds, is exported and the
remainder is used in- domestic consumption.
"Ail things considered, this flueeurod
type of tobacco is unsurpassed
in universal popularity," state tho
experts, "and it is adapted to a variety
of usos, including granulated
and cut smoking tobacco, both paper
and nil-tobacco cigarettes, and plug
filler and wrapper; in fact,'it is
adapted to all the. regular forms In
which tobacco is used except standard
cigars and snuff. in color and
general appearance It is very attrao
live, ? 11 I I V" I I n I VJ W II M (MIJll* I U I I L I 11 V. ,
tit i Id hobs, aromatic sweetness, fragranco
and good keeping qualities
render it very satisfying to the user."
The use of flues in curing tobacco
became popular after the close of the
War Between the Sections and by the
middle '80s the demand had increased
so that about 20 counties in Virginia
and North Carolina had been
planted to this variety. There are a
number of varieties of flue-cured tobacco,
prominently among which are
the W'arne, Yellow Oronoco, Whitestem
Oronoco, Big Oronoco, Adeoek,
Adkin, Willow-Tioaf, Clooch, TiUey
and Hester. The Warno is the standard
wrapper type and perhaps the
most popular. Tho Adcock is a great
favorite in the noted wrapper-producing
section of (Iranvill ecounty, North
Carolina, while the Adkin is popular
as an early maturing variety.
Apart from tho natural character
of the soil itself, there is no more
important matter for the tobacco
grower to consider than the management
of his fields. Indeed the charactor
of tho tobacco produced will
depend as much on how the fields
have been handled in rotation between
tho successive tobacco crops
as upon tho fertilizer used or the
cultivation given directly to the tobacco
crop itself. Tobacco land
should ho so handled as to he kept
in good life. A liberal supply of vegetable
matter in an advanced stago
of decay is highly desirable, but it
should be of the kind not excessively
ricli in ammonia.
It is well known that the organic
matter of freshly cleared or broom*
sedge flertls is of a kind well suited
to tobacco. It consists principally of
dead leaves, twigs, roots, pine tags,
brooin-sedgo and roots. Such vegetable
matter while poor in ammonia, by
its ample volume makes the Hoil very
mellow and friable and of good water-holding
capacity. There is prol>ably
no better humus crop for rotation
than herd's grass or red top.
Specking, or "diseasing", as It is
generally called, Is the most common
disease injury to which tobacco In
the flue-cured district is subject. It
is believed to bo a fungus disease,
disseminated by spores. Tho only
practical method of reducing the injury
to the crop caused by the disease
is by using potash moro liberally In
the fertilizer, which seems to increase
the resistance of the plant to tho disease.
