BUTTER FROM ORIENT.
Cargo Of More Than 100 Tons On

San Francisco, Nov. More than
100 tons of Australia and New zealand
butter went ON the market In San
Francisco today.
This Is the first Of the shipments sttm-
ulated by the reduction Of the duty by
the Underwood bill to ~ cents q pound.
The butter was brought In cold stor-
age on board the steamship Tahiti
which arrived from the colonies yester-
day.
There IL a great deal Of curiosity
about this Australian butter. Dealers
and grocers are DESTROYS OF knowing
its flavor. because on this depends the
extent to which it can be sold.
All admit that it can be produced In
the colonies and shipped here. paying

Charleston, Mch. 1.-The county
Democratic executive committee last
night adopted resolutions expressing
the conviction that the "sixty-day
rule concerning primaries in Char
lesion County applied only to the bien-
nial enrolment, that the next pre-
vious enrolment was to be used in
special elections of the kind made
necessary in the present Congression-

didates were present at the citing
and another was represented by proxy,
and these six endorsed the resolutions
and waived all informalities. The
resolution will be sent to the State
committee at once and also to the
committees OF the other four coun-
ties in the district.

tant conference was held between the
Mexican factions in the interest Of the
general peace.
The confirmation of the nrst reports
of the killing of Emilio Madero, the
third Of the family to pay the extreme
penalty, is regarded as announcing d
step toward peace, removing as it
does a resourceful and implacable
rebel leader.
From various quarters came re-
ports Of the adhesion of rebel chiefs
to the new government. Checo Cam
pos one Of Orozcos ablest lieuten-
ants, with 700 former rebels today
entered Gomez Palico in accord with
and escorted by federal troops. Con-
cul Ham telegraphed from Durango
that the local situation is vastly i'm
proved, that the new administration is
very popular with the better classes,
who though heretofore holding aloof
from politics now have determined to
cooperate with the provisional govern
ment to restore order.
Though the six warships now in
Mexican ports will continue there
for the present the tension has so re-
laXed that Admiral Badger today was
, authorized to resume the routine
drills and manuevers with the big
fleet off Guantanamo which for the
last week has been kept under bank
ed fires in readiness for instant de-
| parture for Mexico.
The announcement of the candidacy
| Of Gen. Felix Diaz for the presidency,
| though expected, has excited some in
terest here, as it is felt that the de-
velopment Of his campaign will speed
| lily disclose the existence of any rival
candidates and apply the acid test to
the existing friendly compact be-
tween him and Huerta.

that the measure was unconstitution-
al.
Mr.. Boyd of Spartanburg, Mr.
Wyche of Spartanburg and Mr.. Rem
bert of Richland spoke in favor OF
passing the bill over the veto. Mr.
Rembert, who introduced the bill
said that "the governor would not

Mr.. Gray of Anderson opposed the
