Senator F. I>. Smith, l>y Invitation,
Was Present ami Made an Address
to a Lai'KO Crowd.
The Press and Standard says the
Fifth Annual Colleton County Fair
has gone into history and will rank
easily an one of the most successful
Fairs ever conducted in Waltorboro,
and, in fact, as successful tin any
county fair in the South. Beginning
on Tuesday, 4th instant, every day
was a feature day and thousands of
Colletonians returned to their homes
with words of praise for the Fair and
the manner in which it has been conducted.
On Wednesday Senator E. D.
Smith, who was presont by invitation,
delivered an address to a largo
crowd, which made a strong Impression
on those who heard it. Sonator
Smith dealt with the work which has
been done in Washington for the
southern farmers, and cited certain
reforms which are outlined for the
future and to the accomplishment of
which Senator Smith has devoted
himself.
He reviewed the conditions which
existed at the time of his election to
the Senate and showed the strong
obstacles against-which he had to
contend in Congress. lie stated that
national legislators wore not amiss
towards recognizing the n/?eds the
farmers and they were not hostile to
the interest of the farmers. The
great dilTlculty, however, in the
opinion of the Senator, was the great
ignorance as to farming conditions
and farming needs in the mind of
those who legislate for the nation.
Quite amusing was the Senator's
account of the ignorance, even of
Southern Senators, concerning the
farming conditions. This led to the
statements that lawyers can not legislate
for farmers and that a farmer
best recognizes the needs of the farmers.
Senator Smith took occasion
to speak of his work for the standardization
of cotton grades and equalization
of prices. This will eventually
be of great benefit to the cotton farmers.
Senator Smith contended that the
price of cotton should depend upon
the cost of production, and entertained
his audience with references to
tho method and manner of the sale of
cotton, showing that tho farmer had
nothing to do with the fixing of the
price and that the farmer had been
compelled in the past to take exactly
what was offered him. lie made a
strong plea for differentiation of
crops and for progress towards the
independence of farming.
As a result of Senator Smith's
work there has been established in
Washington in the Hureau of Agriculture
a complete manufacturing
plant in which the different grades
of cotton arc tested and in which is
shown the value of the different
grades of cotton as commercial product.
This has tended materially towards
raising the price of cotton and
has demonstrated that after all in
commercial value there is not so
much difference in the different
grades of cotton.
Tho Press and Standards says
"Senator Smith's speech was distinctly
a farmer's speech and ho delighted
his largo audience, composed principally
of farmers, but among which
were scattered large numbors of business
and professional men. Senator
Smith was constantly interrupted by
applause and it is expressing it mildly
to say that his speech was well received."
Tho farmers are fortunate
in having a man who knows something
about their needs in the Sen
aie.

ENGLAND SUPPORTING l). S. ALMOST
PERSUADES HIM
TO RESIGN AT UNCE
4
Friends Continue to Advise lluerta's
Resignation, Hoping to firing
About Change in Time to Prevent
Complete Rupture of Diplomatic
Relations With United States.
President lluerta's attitude toward
the demands of the United
States that ho make way for a new
government is that of one only half
convinced, notwithstanding a few of
his friends and political advisors aro
arguing, with due caution, that ho
accode. The representatives of this
element in the Cabinet conferred Friday
with Nelson O'Shaughnessy,
American charge d'affaires, but were
given no assurances that President
Wilson has unbent sufficiently to warrant
hope that the negotiations will
ho reopened.
In spite of this, however, those
friends of Huerta who now are convinced
that the United States government
is not "bluffing", believe
they will vet be able to brine about
tho desired changes in time to prevent
a complete rupture of diplomatic
relations. This conviction is
based upon I lie fact that Washington
has not put into effect its implied
threat to remove the embassy or announced
any new course of action.
Sir Lionel Oarden, the, British
minister, lias conveyed to lluerta an
intimation that tho United States is
in earnest In its intentions and is said
to have told the provisional president
that the British government is disposed
to?back the United States morally.
lluerta is said to have been
deeply impressed when he realized
that the nation which he had believed
would stand by him indefinitely
had poined one he already regarded
as his enemy. Saturday was the
date fixed for the preliminary meeting
of Congress and Friday night
there appeared to he no reason to believe
that it will not convene, notwithstanding
the unequivocal demand
of the United States that it
should not do so. Tho meeting is
for nothing more than the presentation
of members' credentials and organization,
after which, following the
usual custom, there will be a lapse of
C.. 4l.? 1 1 1
111 v7 uiijn ut'iui u i in: uuiiy MU'l'lS ill
formal session to listen to the President's
message.
It has been represented to lluerta
that the United States, doubtless, will
regard his preliminary mooting as
seriously as it would were it the formal
day of opening, since it will indicate
the intention of the Mexican
government to defy Washington in
this regard. Those now lined up
against lluerta admit, however, that
his position is a perplexing one, since
the law provides that the resignation
of the president must be made to
Congress. The only Congress in Mexico
is in jail, and lluerta does not feel
justified in compounding his humiliation,
friends say, by sending his resignation
to the penitentiary.
Advisers of lluerta who are sending
an emissary to treat with Mr.
O'Shaughnessy insist that this last
demand of the United States is an unreasonable
one, since if the new Congress
is permitted to meet, then there
will bo a body to which lluerta can
send his resignation in duo form and
maintain his dignity. It has been
suggested that in order to assure the
United States that the new Congress
will be an inocuous instituion, a document
might bo prepared setting
forth the only measures this body
would be expected to enact and that
care would be taken to see to it that
among them there was none which
would bo objectionable to Washington.
It is not denied that to permit Congress
to meet without previous assurances
from tho executive, would be
at best but a gamble, but it is contended
that any other course is difflcult
on account of the laws governing
the resignation of tho President.
A dispatch from Washington on
Friday let it be known that tho
American government will not resume
negotiations with those ofllcials
close to lluerta who are now urging
further parleys until assurances can
bo given the provisional President
Huerta's intention to resign. This
was the status of the Mexican situs
tion late Friday night. Efforts by
counsellors of lluerta to Induce John
Lind at Vera Cruz to re-open the entire
subject had not been successful
at a late hour, it was reported, Mr.
Lind refusing to go hack to Mexico
City unless some definite promises
were forthcoming from General
Huerta.
Chairman Bacon, of the foreign relations
committee, in discussing dispatches
from Mexico City stating that
Huerta's counsellors were seeking to
re-open tho negotiations, declared
that the only condition upon which
that could he done would be the complete
surrender of Huerta.

announcing Gen. Carranza's refusal
to accept any "transection" with foreign
nations looked toward a regulation
of Mexico's internal affairs, was

President Wilson Wants to Please
I loth Senators Ilccauso They Have
Heen True and Ijoyul.
The Washington correspondent of
The News and Courier says readers
of that journal may have noted that
ho lias never undertaken to explain
the course of the content for the district
attorneyship and the marshalship
in terms of the president's conjectured
attitude towards the candidacy
of Oovernor Please for the Senate.
Such explanation seems gratuitous
and far-fetched.
All of the evidence which has come
within the ken of The News and
Courier's correspondent has led him
to regard the disagreement of the
two Palmetto State Senators over tho
district attorneyship as tho causo of
the administration's worry, and not
tho probable effect of this or that appointment
on the Ttlease candidacy.
There is no reason to conclude that
Attorney General McKeynolds recommended
Weston and Sims because he
did not think them the best material
presented for the places. As to the
president, he has taken no action
whatever, and wants tho Senators to
agree before he does so. Hy the
same reasoning that explains the Attorney
General's recommendations on
the theory of a desire to injure
Hlease, the President's failure to act
on the Attorney General's recommendations
would be interpreted as indicating
a desire to help Hlease.
The plain fact is that the administration
has failed to reach finally
wiin n^iiKi to hit? uisinci attorneyship
and the marshalship because of
tlie President's wish to accord each
Senator his due, and particularly becauso
of his wish to retain the cordial
support, of each Democratic Senator,
who has been "regular" in
hacking tip the Wilson policies. The
President does not intend to give offence
to either Senator Tillman or
Senator Smith if he can help it; and
lie really can not afford to take
chances of alienating or chilling support
in the Senate in view of the importance
of keeping a Macedonian
phalanx of majority votes in readiness
for use.
There have been similar disagreements
between senior and junior
Democratic Senators in other States
than South Carolina over patronage
questions. The present deadlock
would in all probability have existed
'list the same if there had been no
Please. The whole trouble came
about from a disagreement between
the two Senators, and the additional
district hill represents an effort to
solve the tie-up by providing a district
in which each Senator shall have
the say as to the oilices, as is the situation
in North Carolina, where Senator
Simmons has just recommended

GOKS TO FOURTH PHAGE.
Charleston Attain High Hank as a
Cotton Port.
For the first time in at least 20
years Charleston has, according to
statistics compiled up until last Friday,
taken fourth position among
cities of the United States in the
value of cotton exportations. The
order of standing of the leading cotton
exporting ports, according to this
compilation, is as follows: Galveston,
Savannah, New Orleans, Charleston.
The exports from Charleston
for the season are valued at approximately
$12,000,000 and are greater
than they have been at any previous
season up to this time. It is conservatively
estimated that the season's
cotton export business from this port
will amount to $25,000,000. This
estimate holding good, the export
season for this year is now about half
over. This is the first season in some
2 0 years, it is authoritatively stated,
that Charleston's cotton exports have
gone beyond thoso of Wilmington.
This port's cotton business has been
gradually increasing for the past
eight years. It will be remembered
that the cotton export business reached
the low water mark of $000,000
in the year 1 906.

Sown, IOach Member to Hold Office
for One Year?Republicans Try to
Amend Hill.
Tlio administration currency reform
bill as it probably will go to the
Senate with the approval of President
Wilson was completed Friday
night by six Democrats of the Senate
banking and currency committee.
Senator Hitchcock and the fivo Republican
members of the committee
continued to write Into their draft of
the measure amendments that the
White House lias disapproved of.
Arrangements nrobablv be made to
soiul both bills to the Senate for consideration
some time this week.
The Democrats completed their
draft after working all day Friday
and well into the evening in an effort
to hurry the bill along. As completed
the measure provides for a system
of eight regional banks, to be
capitalized by enforced subscription
from the national banks of the country
with unlimited powers of re-discount
and currency issue and the
power to hold reserves, the entire
system to be under the control of a
Federal reserve board.
In Friday's session the Democrats
Chairman Owen and Senators Pom-j
erene, Mollis, Heed, O'Gorman and
Shafroth?made minor amendments
to the bill. They cut down the Federal
reserve board from nine, as fixed
by a former vote of the committee,
to seven, as originally fixed in (lie
House bill. The Secretary of the
Treasury, and six members to be appointed
by the President, "with regard
to the financial, commercial and
geographical divisions of the country",
would compose the board. Each
member would hold office for six
years, one term expiring each year,
and would receive $1 0,000 a year
salary.

branches of the committee tho question
of the guarantee of bank deposits
were injected. It was reported
that the Democrats had adopted an
amendment proposed in the Senate
by Senator Williams, of Mississippi,
providing for a tax of 1 per cent, on
deposits to form a guarantee fund.
After the bill was completed, however,
the Democrats declared the
matter had been set aside, and wipi
other matters would be considered in
connection with a bill revising the
hanking laws to he taken up at the
next session of Congress.
The Republicans considered a
proposition advanced by Senator
ivristow, providing that after the regional
banks had paid 5 per cent,
dividends on their capital stock and
had accumulated a 2 0 per cent, surplus
the remainder of the earnings
should be equally divided between
the government and a fund to guarantee
deposits. Senator Rristow was
allowed time to draft his proposal
into the earnings sections of the bill.
The administration bill will provide
that the banks shall pay 6 per cent,
dividends on their stock, accumulate
a 20 per cent, surplus and that all
tho earnings above that flguro shall
go to the government.
The Democrats eliminated from
the redemption section of the bill the
provision that the new currency
should be redeemable in "lawful
money" as well as gold. The redemption
was made on a flat gold
standard, but it was provided that
the new reserve notes might be held
in the reserve of member banks on
the same terms as gold.
Senator Hitchcock and the Republicans
held that they were the only
bona fide banking and currency committee
organized by designating Senator
Hitchcock, "the ranking Democrat,"
as chairman. They declared
the secret sessions of Chairman Owen
and his administration Senators were
entirely outside the activities of the
committee. The matter probably will
be straightened out when the administration
forces go into the committee
meeting and endeavor to arrange
some program for a report.
Senator Hitchcock and the Republicans
went after the bill in vigorous
fashion. They eliminated entirely a
provision allowing the appointment
of receivers for insolvent regional
nanus, noiuing that a receiver would
only tic up the entire reserves of the
banks and that there was no possibility
of a regional bank failing. The
administration Senators put in a provision
that no receiver should he appointed,
but that the Federal reserve
noard should "take possession of and
j administer the functions of any regional
bank which might become insolvent."
It is the man of one idea that
reaches the goal. If that alone is considered
he may be tormod a very narrow
being, but when it is considered
that in the effort to gain his end the
nam secures information of every
kind that will help him it must be
admlted that he has some breadth.

SEVERAL AItE 111 HT IX ACCIDENT
AT CAMDEN.
Aeronaut looses Control of Machine
in Lighting, Knocking Down a
Number of People.
Several people wore injured when
the aeroplane of Frank Terrell
crashed into the crowd that was witnessing
his flight at Camden Friday
afternoon. Mr. Terrell attempted to
land, hut as the claw which is used
as a brake on his trailer refused to
penetrate the hard ground, the lost
control of his machine with the above
results. Mrs. King, mother of Walter
King, of Camden, was hurt the
Worst. She received the full force of
the machine and was severely bruised.
It is feared that she received a
broken bone in the shoulder. Wiliner
King, of Hethune, also received
the full compact of the machine and
knocked unconscious for a few moments.
His little daughter was
slightly bruised. James Shearn was
bruised and his clothes badly torn.
McDowell Lewis received a cut on the
temple and a negro nurse was knocked
down. Little Jack Nettles, who
was with the nurse, was thrown on
one of the nlnnos of the mnrhlno hut
was uninjured. Mr. Terrell received
a bruised arm when thrown from his
seat.
The accident happened so quickly
that peoplo were dumfounded, women
and children became hysterical and
rushed toward the injured to see if
any were their friends or relatives.
Others, more timid, ran towards the
exhibit building fearing to look upon
the injured, who lay writhing on the
grou nd.
Dr. Corbet t was immediately to the
side of Mr. King and Dr. Brasington
went to Mrs. King's rescue. They
were hurt the worst. Others went to
Mr. Terrell's aid, who was on the
ground near the fence, in front of
the machine. For several minutes a
small panic reigned, but the crowd
was soon calmed by the assurance of
a number of influential men that the
injuries were not serious. Mr. Terrell
broke down and wept, and it was
some time before he could be induced
to leave the ground and return to the
hotel where he is stopping. The accident
apparently was unavoidable.
The crowd had been warned not to
go on the ground where the accident,
took place, but in their anxiety to get
a good view did not heed the warnings.
