Ml RECEIVES OVATION. 1 m ? ?~ PARADE OF FARMERS URKKTS JUNIOR SENATOR. About 9,S0O People Listen to Speecheo ricnator Cite* Record to Rebut i liargcs. Andenion. July IB?Anderson, whose slogan is "My town," allowed B. D. Smith to appropriate the owner? ship today, when the city was taken In hand by farmers and turned over to the United Sttaes senator. When the time arrived this morn? ing for the speaking to begin, a pageant of 11 wagons twice circled the eourt house, with the senator on the first, parched high up on two bales et cotton. Another of the train bore the "?oe brigade." each occupant be? ing armed with one of these deadly gooss necked weapons. One man, acting the part of a clown, rode bare? backed a dusky mule, plastered with samples of cotton from Its nose to the end of Its tall, the man himself wearing a mask of cotton whiskers and a coat covered with splotches of lint. A brass band of 12 pieces oc? cupied another wagon, and crashed out lively airs as the parade went by. In the other wagons were farmers their wives and daughters, there be? ing In all 89 men and 23 women. Four mounted scouts led the proces? sion, each bearing a banner inscribed. "The Farmers' Friend for the Sen? ate, K. D. Smith." The four on horseback were D. L. Barnes, N. M. Famrn. Charles Dobbins and R. Ches? ter, three of these being leading farm? ers In the county. Senator Smith today tore off the mask of indifference and cited his record in answer to three different charges preferred by the governor. The 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. This, the speaker said, had been written Into the organic law of the State by B. R. Tillman and the reformers In 1896, when the consti? tution was rewritten, and that, as a member of the legislature, he took an oath to "preeerve, protect and de? fend the constitution of this State." "I do not propose to perjure my? self and perjure my soul If some peo? ple, a majority of them, have made a grievous error, for I shall stand by the error. If such it be until the sovereign people have corrected It," he esplained. In answer to the accu satU^rv |ha( hp bed voted against the separate coach law. ho said: "Turn to page 423 of the house Journal of 1898, and If you do not find that E. D. Smith voted for the separate coach law I will quit the race." lie rec? ommended Francis II. Weston, United States dlstriet attorney, he said, be causn t>? k In 1904 he had gone with the tenator from one end of the country to the other helping to fight the people's battles, paying his way out of his own pocket and sleeping at nVV in empty box cars. i'hs appointment of Jajpes L. Sims as United States marshal was Sena? tor TlUman's. Senator Smith said. But. he added: "I'll rather appoint a man to this office who, of necessity, had taken a Job as typesetter on a Re? publican paper than to have as colo? nel on my staff a white South Caro? linian who ran on a Republican ticket with negroes to keep their heels upon the State." Another point of Interest in the meeting today was the governor's at? tack on the new primary rules from an entirely different angle. He de? clared that In the event of a candi? date's withdrawal within 20 days of the election the primary would be au? tomatically postponed. This he brand? ed - -Wher scheme to steal a United States senatorshtp and prophesied that there would be withdrawing before Augus( 25- "And if there Is," he added. "It will be the hottest time South Carolina has experienced since 1878. The Bleaseltes will tako care of themselves. I'll tell you what to do and I know you'll do It," he con? cluded, while his ardent supporters emphatically shouted their approval. The governor made It clear today that he would continue to disregard the attacks which two of tho candidates have been making on bis record. Re? ferring to this, he said: "I ignore those who put themselves on a plane with John T. Duncan and Barney Evan*. That's exactly what my enemies went They would roll it under their tongues ss a sweet morsel If I ?er? to ?ake any notice of them. They may be fools, I'm not " he con? cluded. L. D. JenninKs spoke after the gov? ernor and he'gun by reminding the audience that the lllcaso forces bad often consoled themselves by saying that all the fraud of two years ago was on the "other side." Me then ask' 11 N Well, If nil M.o fraud was on the other side two vears ago, why should the Bleasrltcs complain when those rules are so framed that now there can ?*> no fraud.'' This eandi date assured the Anderson people that be had nover gone into any fight that he didn't stay In to th?? finish, and the governor's charge that tin re would be withdrawing did not ajsjfH to bin* isltsasTi ft isVati 1 GARRAN1A NAMES TERMS.

Heinrich Oclerlch, German Aviator, Soars 1.73 Miles. Leipsic, July 15.?A new world's record for an aeroplane was establish? ed here today by Heinrich Oelerich, a German aviator, who rose In his bi? plane 7,600 metres, or approximately 24,606 feet, nearly four and three quarter miles. The official world's record, 6,600 me? tres, or approximately 21,654 feet, had been established only on July 9 at Jo? hannisthal by Otto Linnekegel, an? other German airman. Mr. Jennings drew much applause when he discussed tho appointment of James L. Slins as United States marshal. He concluded this part of his speech by asking, "Which Is the greater offense, to have a man appointed United States marshal who hed set typo on a Republican pa? per, or to appoint to your staff a man who ran on tho negro Reublican ticket in 1880. as did J. P. Gibson, on the governor's staff?" The speaker referred briefly to tho parole of J. Allen Emerson, who shot to death Thomas Drake of this coun? ty, a case which has pc.-sibly caused as much general comment as any in? stance of the chief executive's clem? ency. ^ Mr. Jennings also cited a ease from Charleston, where a man convicted of forgery was paroled, and then assault? ed a little child, and was returned to the penitentiary within tho last few weeks under a sentence of 30 years. W< P. Pollock recalled that the gov? ernor 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 yes? terday explaining the Rlchey case." To some one who kept interrupting, the Cheraw candidato said: "If you keep your mouth open so much, tho flies will blow ft ur liver." This retort did not silence the hecklers. When the speaker read his list of Greeks and "Lagos" and asked if the people of Anderson wanted such peo? ple to kill their votes, he said: *T know you don't. We are all of tho same stock, and I know I don't." "I hope I'm not from the sumo stock as you," ono came back. "Well, as far as you're concerned," the speaker replied, "1 don't caro to own the klndHhtp either." Mf, Pollock again put on exhibi? tion his "mixed** Republican ticket of 1880. He also reminded the au? dience that there was on the gov? ernor's staff, besides J. P Gibson, who voted tho Republican liehet, tho son of the owner of the newspaper on which James L. Si ma set type. Tho speaker got much applause wneu he referred to "<*<>1 Sottllc." Thl candidate said he had heard that a Greenville cotton mill Opera? tlve had applied for Harrison N'celey's Job to run the governor's automobile, hut had found that "Harrison Nceloy was g??.?d enough for the governor." Mr. Pollock read his poem of the celebration of all the rogues that ?had See? turned loose," while Hi* 11 crowd roared with laughter. The speaker said that it was tho governor I who v us going to withdraw. .?TA ABDICATES OFFIGE. DICTATOR ANNOUNCES HIS RES? IGNATION IN ORDER TO BRING ABOUT PEACE.

HucrtM Complains of Course of United States. Mexico City, July 15.?Gen. Vic torlano Hucrta resigned from the provisional presidency of the Mexlce.ll republic today and his resignation was accepted by the senate and'eham ber of deputies by a vote of 121 to IT. Francisco Carbajal then was ap? pointed president, and took the oath of oflict; at the joint session of the deputies and senators. Hucrta's resignation was submitted through the department of foreign re? lations. It was read in the house and was greeted with cries of "Viva Hu erta." It then was referred to the joint committee of gobernacion. After brief consideration tho committee report? ed, accepting the resignation in the following terms: "Article 1. We accept the resigna? tion presented by Gen. Victoriano Hu erta as president of the Mexican Unit? ed 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. President Carbajal proceeded to tho National Palace under an escort of presidential guards, and all along the way was greeted with tumultuous cheering. The text of Gen. Huerta's resigna? tion follows: "Deputies and Senators: Public necessity, admitted by the chamber of deputies, by the senate and by the supreme court, called me to the supreme ministry of the republk IiAter, when in this same hall I had tho honor of addressing you in com-" pliance with the constitutional precept I promised at all costs to bring about peace . "Seventeen months have passed, and in that brief period of time I have formed an army with which to carry out that solemn promise. You all know the immense dillluclties which?, my government has encountered ow- ' lag to a scarcity of funds as well as to the manifest and decided protec? tion which a great power of this con? tinent has afforded to the rebels?so' much so that when the revolution had been broken up, seeing that its chief leaders were and Continued to be di? vided, the power in question sought a pretext to intervene directly in tho conflict, and tho result of this was the outrage committed at Vera Cruz by tho American licet. "Success was had, as you know, In adjusting honorably, through our delegates at Niagara Falls, the petty Tampico incident, but the revolution Continued with the support of whom we all know. Yet after the highly patriotic work achieved by our dele? gates at Niagara Falls, there still are sumo who say I, come what may seek my personal interest and not that of the republic. And as I need to refute this allegation With facts I tender my foi mal resignation of tho presidency of the republic. "The national congress must know that the republic, through its govern? ment, has labored in entire good faith and with tho fullest energy, having succeeded in doing awa.f I with tho party which in the United States calls itself Democratic and having shown how the right should be defended. "To be more explicit, I will say that the action of the government of tho 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 power that has done so much harm and committed so many outrages on this continent. "In conclusion I will say that 1 abandon tho presidency of the repub? lic, carrying with me the highest sum of human wealth, for 1 declare that I have arraigned at the bar of univer? sal conscience the honor of a puritan, whom I, as a gentleman, challenged to wrest from me that possession. "May God bless you and me." Tho gaMletics of the chamber were pucked before tho beginning of the session today. Intense excitement characterised the gathering and ttt the close of lhe reading of Huerta's resignation the deputies and senators broke into 1 >ud and continued applause. After the acceptance of Huerta's resignation, a commission was ap? pointed by the president of the Cham? her to escort Honor Carbajal t<? the floor. Senor ('arbajal soon appciircu In front of the chamber, passing through llles of soldiers. II?? entered j where the deputies stood, Speaker Manuel Mercudo administered the oath.

Two other deputies spoke for nc ceptance, declaring it was the onlj way to save tlie country. tien.

A special committee, comprising Jesus Huerta, Enrique Hordes. Mangel and Jose Inez Novelo, rormer mem? bers of the chamber of deputies, left tonight for Celaya to arrange with tho constitutionalist leaders for a peaceful entry Into the capital. It was reported tonight that den.' Huerta' was preparing to leave for Europe. Members of Iiis family passed through Cordoba late today on their way to Puerto Mexico. Tho streets of the capital were crowded until a late hour tonight, but no disturbance has been reported. Tho j governor of the federal district or- j dcred the police to chec! any dem- : onstration. The streets are patroled by mounted police, who have orders to use drastic measures if necessary. Humors that bands of Zapata's follow (Ts have reached Ochlmito, ion miles south of the city, have proved un? founded. As President Carbajal emerged from the chamber nn Immense crowd blocked the streets and troops were obliged to Hear ihe way. A panic was narrowly averted, when a man raised cry against tin- deputies who had refused to vote for the acceptance of Huerta's resignation. Man if est ants attempted to attack the deputies but the troops dispersed them. Shortly after 8 c'clock tonight, Qon.
