REPORTED HUERTA
HAS FLED FROM CITY
Senators and Deputies Notified
to Meet and Organize on
November 10.

Mexico City, Nov. 13.-Reports
that General Huerta had fed from
| the federal capital were revived this
afternoon owing to the inahility of
those interested in his actions to find
any definite trace of him.
Rumors that General Huerta was
planning to take German steamer
lor Europe have been current here
Tor several days. Inasmuch as
Huerta is not accustomed to observe
any routine, it is still regarded as
prooaDle that he may reappear in his
usual haunts in due time.
An official notification was Dub-
lished today ordering those Mexican
senator's and deputies who were elect
ed on October &c to assemble during
the afternoon on Saturday, November
10, In their respective houses in or
der to effect their organization.
NO signs of weakening were evil
dent at the national palace today and
the American embassy was in a state
OF suspense, not knowing what to eX-
pect next.
1t developed today that in the
course of the preliminary exchanges
or views between John Lind. the per
sonal representative of President Will
son, and the Mexican officials on the
question of the dissolution of the new
Mexican Congress, General Huerta
advanced the plea that he could not
dissolve ii because it had been legal
ly elected
Mr.. Lind's reply TO this was the
presentation of the demands made bv
the United States government. ac-
companied by the declaration that
what General Huerta had been able
to do with the former Congress he
must do with this one of his own
creation.

CHRISTMAS SEALS.
Work of the Red Cross Seal Com
mission PrDspering.

Columbia, Nov. l3-The work of
the Red Cross Seal Commission is
prospering. A report from the CEN
trail Office in Columbia states that
fifty agents i'm all parts of the state
have signified their willingness to as
sist in distributing the Christmas
Seals in their communities. This is
the result Of only one months work
and the committee feels much en-
couraged at the sympathetic coop
Grafton shown on all sides During
November it is expected that over
more agents will be secured, thus
guaranteeing that in practically
every important town and city in
South Carolina the fight against
tuberculosis is a preventable disease,
and can hence be stamped out by
wise and energetic preventativ~
measures. It's a useless sacrifice to
allow upwards of 1000 people to die
every year when this great drain up
on the states resources and citizen
ship could be almost entirely stopped.
Early plans for an energetic sell
ing and publicity campaign have al
really been made i'm Charleston, Co
lumbia, Spartanburg and Orange
burg. Large supplies of Christmas
seals and advertising matter have
been shipped to these cities. The
Office in Columbia is now engaged i'm
sending material to the other towns
where agents have been secured.
Both Georgia and North Carolina are
putting on a statewide sale of the
seals, and Il is hoped that South
Carolina will make faorable show
ing in this matter with her sister
states

hr' I. \. Smith Makes II Plain That
He Was Not Party to ANY
Agreement Whatsoever.

Columbia Special to Charlotte OBJ
server, Nov. 13.-'I am not. nor ever

cal Affiliations past or present." said
Lieut.. Gov Charles A. Smith today in
| replying to the Beard article and the
editorial in The Orangeburg Times
| and Democrat, which were reproduc-
ed in part in The Charlotte Observer
few days ago.
The charge was made that John G.
Richards and Charles A. Smith. both
candidates for governor, had entered
into an alliance with Governor
Blease's supporters with the under
standing that they should work
quietly for Governor Blease in his
senatorial race and that, in return
the friends of the governor would
also quietly influence the voters to
cast their ballots for Messrs. Smith
and Richards.
In ms statement mailed to this
bureau this afternoon Mr.. Smith
makes it plain that he was not q
party to any agreement whatsoever
In response to request for a
statement, Mr.. Smith wrote as fol-
lows:
Il read the article in The Orange
burg Times and Democrat for the
hrst time today. 1t is not my pur-
pose TO conduct my campaign along
the lines therein indicated.
AS to the Beard letter in The Co
| lumbia Record it was a good story
from the newspaper standpoint, but
there was nothing in 1t save the ir-
responsible gossip of an unnamed
politician requiring no statement
from me.
