Dictator Orders Ba|Ioting as
Scheduled, and Neither of Five
Candidates Can Get Majority.

Special Gable to The Atlanta GEORGIAN,
MEXICO CITY, Oct. 21.-General
Huerta made known to-day that the
presidential election will be held on
October 26, as scheduled. This means
Huerta will remain in office after that
date.
There are five parties in the field
with candidates In view of the in
ternal situation. it Is certain no can
didate can receive majority The
constitution requires that the sue
cessful candidate must receive a ma
jority.
1t Is expected that the crisis in the
relations between Mexico and the
United States Twill come soon after
the election. Announcement will be
made that the electors have failed
to choose new President, and
Huerta will continue in office as con-
stiutional President ad interim.
The parties in the field and their
presidential candidates are: Catholic.
Frederick Gamboa; Felicista, Felix
Diaz; Liberal Progressive, David de
la Fuente; Anti Reelection, Vasquez
Gomez.
Rodolfo Reyes, former Minister Of
Justice, owuld have been nominated
by the Republicans, but he is in pris-
ON on charge Of sedition.
The belief is general that the re-
turn of Felix DiaZ to Mexico Cit,
will be the signal for dangerous riot
ing.
With the election but six days off.
few actual preparations have been
made for balloting on a successor to
Huerta. The election machinery
throughout practically the entire re-
public is controlled by Huerta's mill
tary governors.

sign that he was disturbed by the un-
usual position In which he found HIM
self
Because Of the positive statements
contained In the first announcement
of Fishers story and the terrible
charge against Shirley that was inn
piled In it's words, some possibility ex-
listed that Shirley mi~ht be held at
the police station until the story had
been investigated.
So many glaring improbailities and
conflicts, however, crept into the
mans narrative that Chief Lanford
declared that he couldn't think OF
holding Shirley on the strength of
Fishers story, which he branded as
manifestly impossible.
Dresser Never Delivered.
The trip to No. 1872 Bellwood avenue
developed one of the reasons for dis
belief In Fishers statement. Mrs. Will
liam Holloway lives here Fisher said
that he went in a wagon with Shirley
to this house the morning OF April rs
to deliver a dresser. When the off,
GERS and Fisher drove up to the house
Monday night, Mrs. Holloway de-
cared that Fisher and Shirley never
had delivered anything there, and
that she had not bought dresser for
years. This blow to his tale did not
daunt Fisher in the least. He still
suck to his assertion that they went
there that morning and delivered the
furniture.
Another Of his statements which
gave tangible cause for disbelief was
that he had seen no crowd on the
rial Day, either while he was waiting
at Marietta and Forsyth streets from
about 1 until o'clock in the after
noon or while he and Shirley, accord
ing to his story, were driving across
Peachtree street and down Decatur
street and then to the Union Station.
He said that he noticed no crowd
on the streets at all other than would
naturally Ne On any SATURDAY alter
noon The progress of his wagon
never was stopped at any time he
was driving from one place to an
other. 1t Is claimed that this alone
brands his story as ridiculous. as there
were large crowds on the street.
Still another discrepancy which the
police say is in his story is that he
first said that he met C. w. Burke.
agent for Attorney Luther Rosser, on
Friday night in Birmingham. Before
the detectives he declared that the
first time he saw Burke was last Sat
urday night when Burke met him OIL
the street and brought him to At
lanta. Burke also is declared to have
said that he met Fisher first on Fri
day night

Fisher was put under arrest at the

to by Russell Shirley, brother Of

him after he had repeated his weird
story Monday night in the presence
Of the man he accuses.
The warrant had already been made
out and as soon as 1t became apparent
that Fisher, said by some to be an
irresponsible drunkard and dope fiend,
was going to stick by his story, Chief
of Detectives Lanford gave the paper
to Detective John w. Starnes and
Fisher was locked up.
Fisher underwent a searching ex-
animation that lasted more than
three hours His detailed story first
was taken by G. c. FEBRUARY, secretary
to Chief Lanford. Little effort was
made at this time to cross examine
him. the purpose being to get his
story together as he originally had
told 1t so that every feature might
later be investigated with a view of
disproving or substantiating it.

Profitable Meeting of County
Educational Association.

Although the day was un-
propitious, being extremely cold
and disagreeable, nearly fifty
teachers and trustees were
present at the February meet
ing of the County Educational
Association, which was held
Saturday morning in the audi
torium of the Central graded
school at this place. The care
fully prepared program proved
most interesting. Some excel
lent papers were read and sew
eral helpful talks given. The
general discussion of various
problems brought out valuable
suggestions to both teachers
and patrons. DR.. f. d. Rodgers,
who is at present conducting
the hookWorm campaign in this
county, was present and spoke
very earnestly of the need of
universal education in South
Carolina. DR.. Rodgers said
that the eradication of the dis
ease he is treating depended
largely on the help of the teach
ers in urging the children to be
examined. He explained how
they could likewise assist in
freeing thier county and state
from other diseases.
The executive committee met
as soon as the association ad-
journed and formed plans for
County Field Day. This will be
held the second Friday in April.
All schools in the county will
participate in the contests, both
literary and athletic, for which
prizes will be awarded by the
business men of Lancaster.
Everything possible will be done

HOOKWORM CAMPAIGN.

During the past five weeks,
DIR. f. ID. Rodgers, who is con-
Quoting the campaign against
hookworm in this county, has
examined $500 people. So far
he finds that the infection is
81 per cent, highest at Kershaw
and lowest at Heath Springs.
DR.. Rodgers has made daily
average of 60 examinations.
He asks us to say that he will
remain in Lancaster county
three weeks longer. The cam
paign was to have closed next
week, the six weeks allotted
this county ending then, but for
several reasons has consented
to extend the time. He will
therefore be here until March
10. Those who have not yet
been examined are urged to see
DR.. Rodgers. He will keep his
regular weekly appointments
heretofore published.
