CARRANZA MURDERED ;
V DEPOSED PRESIDENT OF MEXICO t
DIES AT HANDS OF <
PROTECTORS * 1
Wat Fleeing The Country And Had (
Accepted The "Protection" Of t
The "Friends" Who Killed 1 c
Him
One more bloody chapter has been L
added to the story of Mexican political c
history.
This new chapter is identidal in
plot and development to several that ,
have gone before.
President Venustiano Carranza, a
whose government had been over- 1
thrown by the revolutionists, had re- p
fused to surrender and was fleeing a
to the mountains in an attempt to p
reach a seaport and escape to Spain, b
With a party of friends, who were also
compelled to flee the country, he
hod reached a place of apparent safe-j
ty. e
His party had been approached by j.
General Herrero, a former ofiicer in ,,
Carranza's army. Herrero offered to
escort the deposed President through N
the mountains to the coast or the
v
American border. This offer was accepted
by Carranza and his party.
% At four o'clock in the morning the s
P Herrero party fired upon and killed
General Carranza and eight of his s
party.
General Obregon, who led the-revolution
that overthrew the Carranza
administration, is said to be furious
at the assassination and has ordered y
the arrest and execution of Herrero
and his followers. Herrero has taken ,
to the mountains.
On Monday an election was held in \
Mexico City and Adolfo ?!" la I'ucrtn, ?
Governor of Soifora, was elected
President to serve until the election.
which has been postponed from .July Jj
4 to September 5. It is thought that
the new Government will have serious
trouble on its hands as thee i ;.
indication thut Villa, the rebel leader,
will take advantage of the situation

md attempt to overthrow the pres- I
;nt Government. s
The treachery of Herrero is said f
o have revenge as its inspiration, J
i'arranza very recently having had
rlerrero's father and brother execu- a
,ed as traitors. j
In Mexico the political effort of
Snrranza's taking off will probably v
>e neither deep nor lasting . The r
lead pass with uncommon speed in ^
rlexican public life. Nothing can now j
tay, seemingly, the rapid march of
he Obregon revolution to complete ^
riumph. A decent respect to the ^
pinion of Mexicans and of the out- c
id" world will be paid by going ^
h rough the forms of an inquiry into j
he circumstances of Carranzu's r
leath. The last honors will be record- j
d him with every mark of private v
ind official sympathy. Then will swift- 0
y follow the procedure of placing in fl
lower, under an ingenious color of (
rganic law, what will qall itself a f
lopular Government, bi\t what will
e in reality a military oligarchy.

Sunday evening at the home of Miss

Mrs. Henry Smith and children
pent Monday with her mother, Mrs.
f. W. Gulledge.
It was our pleasure to attend ser'ices
at Vaughndale Sunday afterloon.
The surrounding community
ir.s a reason to feel grateful for the
ive Sunday School they have there,
'he new Baptist church, David's
irove, is near completion and when
inished will be one of the best
hurch building in the county,
'he pastor, Rev Clayton Jenkins,
eserves a volume of credit for the
loblc work he is doing in the estabishing
of a church there. We always
appreciate seeing "the wheels
if progress roll," yet the revolution
iften brings to bear changes tho for
he better, that brings over us a
* tiling mat can t otncrwise be desribed
than sadness.
We enjoyed the services at Vaughlale
Sunday afternoon, yet a pang
ms felt when we looked around at
he great changes that have been
itade since the days of our ehildicod
school days. The old school
uilding that is held precious to
lemory has been torn away and relaced
by a modern structure of far
renter convenience. A nice piano
as been placed for the benefit of the
chool which means much for the
eal interest of the children. The
chool grounds too, have undergone
reat changes, yet the old oak trees
nder which we used to sit and enjoy
he lunch mother prepared are still
uarding the sacred grounds. "Bill
trn" ever kept at heart a divine
eeling for the old school days. For
e often spoke, with apdlogy to "the
Id oaken bucket:" about
The little tin bucket, The bright
hin'ng bucket, The little tin bucket
carried to school. How dear to my
cart are the scores of my childood,
When fond recollection preents
them to view."
The most cherished of all memo
ita, . ave home and loved ones, is
liat of care-free school days of
hildhood.

The districts of four delegates wi
have one-half vote each and no a

procedure was adopted by the con
vcation.

Executive Committee without oppn

elms"it cc.etary.
The convention was called to or
.ier a noon by ex-Governor John Ca
ry Evans, of Spartanburg, chairrnai
of the State Democratic executive
committee, and iimmediately th
names of M. L. Boftham of Anderson
former Adjutant General of tin
Slate, ! George K. Lar.ey, Senato
fioin Chesterfield County, were pla
ced in nomination for this position a:
temporary chairmen.
In an impassioned speech, Senato
Lanoy took umbrage at the custon

and adopting a ".slate," as he calle<
it, and "and ramming: it down tin
throats" of the delegates, lie said
however, because of his high rejran
for Gen. iieniiam he must withdrav
his name. The Anderson nominee re
tuled the imputation that he knev
mything about a "sinte," and Sena
tor Laney replied that his friend
nominating: him did not refer to (Jen
Bonham. Gen. Bonham was thei
unanimously elected.
Approval of the treaty of Ver
sailles an(i the covenant of the leagu<
of nations unamended as brough
back from Paris by President Wilson
who was praised for his unexample<
statesmanship, national and interna
tional, was voiced by the platform o
the South Carolina Democracy.
"We believe," said the platform, ii
condemning the partisan rancor o
the Republican and few Democrat!
reactionaries in the Senate, "tha
this treaty, with the league of na
tions, is the only means by which i
lasting peace, and the weak and op
pressed nations of the world can b
preserved."
In further discussing the questio
of the Versailles pact and the leagu
of nations, the platform says:
"The refusal to*allow this countr
to enter into the h ague of nation
r:ear.s the preservation of militarism
which we regard not only as ungodl
hut a. absolutely destructive of th
commercial, economic and spiritue
welfare of mankind, and we demam
that our representatives in Congros
use every means in their power to d<
feat suclt men ures as universal an
mpui >iy military training of ou
young men. We rejoice that in thi
time of world crisis the democracy o
America has been able to give to th
United States and to the world
leader through whose wisdom an
courage there was developed a pla
which found universal commendatio
from men of all parties, includin
many of the foremost leaders of th
Republican party in the Unite
States, until a vicious partisanshi
lead them to repudiate the high prir
ciples which they themselves before
hand had expressed and endorsed.
I "As citizens of America, a countr
I which in the great war played a pai
! that will be always viewed by he
| citizens with just pride, we view wit
' the deepest humiliation the change c
1 front on the part of these men wh
| sought to destroy Woodrow Wilso
1 and detract from the achievement
j of the Democratic party and wh
were willing, not only to repudial
the views which they, themeclvi
had formerly held, but also to betra
a. ;aLVi t {' ii i ''iMmte.
the honor of their country."
The convention adopted the coi
mittee's unfavorable report on tl
N Christiensen resolution proposing
enfranchise the women of the Sta
by a vote of 245 to 68.
During the debate which precede
t the vote a warm altercation to<
place between Hon. Christie Bent
of Columbia, and lion. W. I'. Pi
lock, of Cheraw, both former Unit*
States Senators.
Mr. Benet stated that the '-self a
pointed spokesmen for the womei
i- had reasons for their actions oth
1- than disinterested ones. He said th
it certain of these suffrage champio

c- pect to be elected as a reward f
). their espousal of the cause.
"> Mr. Benet also charged that tho
women most active in the State in tl
suffrage work were paid for th;
' services.
This statement was hotly resent
r- by Senator Christiensen, the auth
s? of the resolution favoring sulfrap
Mr. Christiensen then asked Mr. Be
-t if the charge of having aspiratio
for office via the female vote la

he had not intended to charge M
