CAPTURES SUBURB.
After Artillery Fire Sweeps Town, In.
fantry and Cavalry Dash Into
Streets.

Gomez Palacio, Mexico, March 81
Four days of fighting. including three
desperate assaults by the rebels,
were crowned today when Gen. Fran
cisco Villa moved into Gomez Palacio
and established his headquarters on
that side of the town looking toward
Torren and within three miles of that
great goal of the campaign.
The final and deciding assault was
delivered yesterday. 1t was preceded
by bombardmert, after which the
infantry and cavalry dashed into the
streets.
Rifles, machetes, pistols and hand
grenades were used in 100 different
encounters in the narrow thorough
fares. The grenades, of nome manu-
facture, were lighted by cigarettes, an
unofficial part of the equipment of
every Mexican soldier.
Gen. Villa does not know his own
loss, except that it was heavy. The
wounded suffered terribly from thirst
and many died for lack of water and
surgical attention. The dead of both
sides were mingled in the streets or
found huddle& under adobe houses
or corrals wrecked by rebel shells.
Veterans say NJ more furious bat
tie ever was fought in Mexico.
Prepares to Move.
Gen. Villa did not stop to mourn
his losses, but with characteristic
energy began preparations to move
on Torrecn. He expec;s to cooperate
with 400 men under Gen. Herrera,
who is under orders to attack the town
from the east.
Newspaper correspondents were
permitted to enter the city with Villa.
Everywhere rebel soldiers were res
cuing the injured and taking them 10
t. railroad on improvised sire ,chers.
TIE 1jr Wa Let and redolent Of
sale blood Those with flesh wouEds
disdained to desert, and soldiers limp
ing f,om wound in the leg or with
one arm supported in a bloods aimed
bandage were among the stretcher
bearers.
Villas first assault in force took
place four days ago. There was c:m-
paratively a small number of feder-
ais in thA city, and premature reports
cf victory were sent out. Soon, how
eve~, the federals received reinforce
ments and Gen. Villa withdrew after
hard fight.

Supervisor Upheld.

In the opinion the method OF COM
pu,ation used by the supervisor in ar
living at the manner of registered
names on the petition and his action
in ordering the election is upheld.
The respondents made the objec-
ton before the court that the question
was one of a public and political ma
tufe, involving no such private right
as would en:itle the petitioners to
maintain the action, except in the
name of the State, by the consent OF
the attorney general, which consent
was refused The court held that it
was not necessary to secure the con-
sent of the attorney general in bring
ing actions OF such nature, that man.

LEXIGNTON GETS DISPENSARY

w. F. Caldwell in News and Courier,
Columbia, March 27.-The supreme
court Today declared the recent cleo
ton in Lexington county, when the dis
pensary was voted in, to be legal. The
action was brought by B. D. Rawl and
ct ay., VS.. R. NJ. McCown and the State
board of canvasSers, which upheld the
decision of the Lexington county board
sus tanning the election. The decision
was written by Associate Justice Hyd-
rick and was concurred in by Chief
Justice Gary and Associate Justice
Watts. Associate Justice Fraser dis
sen;ed and Associate Justice Gage did
not sit in the case.
after deducting the votes of the
precincts which should have been
thrown out, and all other illegal votes,
there still remains a majority in fa-
vor of sale. For the foregoing reason
the petition is dismissed, and the re-
sult of the election, as declared by the
State board of canvassers, is affirmed"
says the concluding paragraph of the
opinion.
4 Note of Warning.
Calling attention to the general lax
ity III the administration OF the cleo
ton laws in South Carolina, Associate
Justice Hydrick issues the following
.ote of warning in the following para
graph of the opinion: Before enier-
ing upon the consideration OF the
grounds of contest it may be out of
place % say, as a note Of warning TO
those entrusted with the administra-
ton of the election laws, that the evil
dence in this case, and Others which
have ccme bebore this court, shows
laXness in the administration of those
laws and such fragrant violations Of
them as ought to startle any though
full citizen. /: is fraught with the
greatest danger to good government,
and may result disastrously when
much graver issues are at stake. At
least since 1898 the boards of registra-
ton nave practically ignored the pro-
visions Of be constitution and statutes
on this subject. Only in rare and ex-
ceptional cases have they applied and
enforced the tests prescribed 10 deter

have applied for registration or admin

4 Condition Precedent.
Notwithstanding this court declared,
seven years ago, in Wright against
Board, 76 S. c., 547, that the production
cf a registration certificate and proof
of the payment of all taxes due and
payable for The previous year was a
condition precedent to a right to vote,
and that every vote cast without do
ing so was illegal, al some of the vol
iCg places persons were allowed to
vote without complying with tnose
mandatory provisions of the law. In
Davis VS. Board, sc S. c., 461, this
court said, with regard to provisions
Of The law which are merely directory:
These provisions of the statute should
however, be observed by the election

NOT IN SENATE RACE.
John Gary Evans Will Not Make the
Race-W. z. Pollock May Run For
the Senate.

GOlunDla, MdfCn ZS.-lnS presence
of number of Anti-Blease members
of the general assembly in Columbia
yesterday, followed by the announce
ment his morning that former Gov
ernor John Gary Evans, of Spartan
burg, would not be in the race for the
United States senate set afoat rumors
that a conference had been held,
which had decided that the former
governor should say out. These ru-
mors gathered strength during the
day, but several of the legislators
whose names were connected with the
conference smiled when asked if one
was held, and professed entire ignor-
ance of any kind of a conference.
Yesterday afternoon and last night
number of the leaders Of the Anti
Blease forces in the recent legislature
were seen in Columbia. Former Gov
ernor Evans appeared on the Carolina
Special from Spartanburg, and this
morning the following announcement
came out:
John Gary Evans, former governor
OF South Carolina, who was in Colum-
bia yesterday on business, announced
that he would not be candidate for
the United States senate. He stated
that the lines for the senatorial fight
we're already sharply drawn between
Senator Smith and the governor, and
the campaign will be fought out be-
tween them on the issues already
raised.
Representative J. ]. Evans, of Marl-
boro county, refused 10 admit this
morning that a conference was held
last night, and ostensibly hearing the
rumor fer the first time. When asked
how it came about tha: so many of the
leaders in the general assembly from
various parts of the State were in Co.
lumbia yesterday. ne thought it just
happened so. This explanation, how
ever, did not end the rumors that a
conference was held, which canvassed
the situation and decided that the sen
aorial fghc ought to be left to United
Staces Senator Z. d. Smith and Gov
ernor Blease.
A conference Of the .Anti-Blease
members of the general assembly, par
ticipated in by several Of the leaders,
took place Oh the last night of the
session, and it was understood then
tha: the senatorial situation was can
yassed to decide whether former Gov
ernor Evans or Representative w. F.
Stevenson ought to enter. For several
weeks following the adjournment Of
he legislature, nothing was forth
coming, out dDOUc Two weeks ago d
Tip" came down. the line in political
circles that a formal announcement
concerning whether Mr.. Evans would
enter the race or not would be given
cut These rumors and developments
in connection with the earmarks of
o;her things caused political circles
today to listea closely for rumors Of
last nights political conference of the
Anti-Blease leaders in the general as
