THE MEETING AT FLORENCE.
Enthusiastic Reception for Richards.
FactiOnaIism Comes to Surface.

Florence, S. c., June 25.-Unmis-
taxable evidences Of the existence of
two political factions here were
shown by the frequent intermingled
Kisses and cheers greeting state
ments OF candidates for the State
Offices during the campaign meeting
here yesterday. Strong endorsement
OF Bleaseism, which the candidates
admit still exists, was given in an
enthusiastic reception for John &.
Richards, Of Liberty Hill, candidate
for Governor, and compulsory educa-
ton was approved by the cheers for
John G. Clinkscales, of Spartanburg,
also candidate for Governor.
The meeting here brought to the
surface more feeling of a factional
nature, both by the candidates and
the voters, than at any previous
meeting. Strong pleas for political
peace and unity and for assistance
in development of the States per-
sonal and material were
made by Mendel l.. Smith and r. |.
Manning, both candidates for Cover
nor. Their pleas were, however, re-
ceived without particularly strong
endorsement.
Matters regarded as purely politi-
cal, and which the candidates pri-
vately declared they hoped would not
be brought into the campaign, seem
to be gradually coming to the sur
face. The recent investigation by a
legislative committee of the State
Hospital for the Insane for the first
time was brought into the speeches
when j. A. Hunter, candidate for
Lieutenant Governor, and member Of
that inquiry, asked b.. Frank Kelly,
of Lee county, an opponent, to eX-
plain his activity at a midnight meet
ing of the Senate Judiciary Com
lum investigation was considered.
This was asked following a mild at
tack upon Mr.. Hunter by Mr.. Kelly.
About 500 persons, a considera-
bic number OF them women, endured
the intense heat of the court room to
hear the specches. Their ardor an
parently was not dimmed by the tenn
perature.
Without particular bearing upon
anything stated previously by any
candidate, w. C. Irby, Jr., candidate
for Governor, explained that he
thought the people ought to have
good liquor.

The candidates continue to urge

tons, good roads, rural credits and
economical administration. though

VILLAS VICTORY WAS GREAT.
FederaIs Killed and Wounded Mum.
Der About Six Thousand.

Z~acatecas, Mexico, June 25.-Af-
ter four days Of preliminary fighting
the final assault on Zacatecas took
place Tuesday, resulting in the cap
ture Of the city by the Constitution
alists at 100 p. m. The dead on the
Federal side, according to official
figures, numbered 1000, and 1000
wounded, while the losses to the at
lacking side were not stated def
nitely, though Ger. Villa estimated
his casualties at 500 dead and 500
, wounded.
The Battle vas the most holly on
tested during the present revolution
in the belief Of leaders, here. Four
teen thousand rederals were en-
trenched in seemingly impregnable
positions. Five thousand prisoners
we're captured by Gen. Villas troops.
Twelve cannon, nine military trains,
six thousand rifles and three car
loads of cannon and rifle ammuni-
ton were captured. The Federals
were reported to have dynamited
many buildings of the city before
evacuation, Staying those of Villas
troops who had occupied the build
ings in the street fighting.
Villas Account of Battle.
Gen. Villa himself gave the follow
ing account of the battle:
After four days hard attacks, to-
days was the decisive one. The enc
my, numbering $4,000, commanded
by Medina Barron and five other
generals, were defeated completely
by my forces, which were aided eff
fectively by Gen. Natera's men. Up
to this moment we have 5000 pris-
oners, twelve cannon, nine trains,
two carloads Of rifle ammunition and
cannon shells and nearly 5000 Maui
ser rifles and a large quantity of pro-
visions and other munitions of war.
THE enemy who escaped went in
the direction of Aguaes Calientes af-
ter dynamiting the post office, the
State Treasurer's Office and the stamp
evenu office building. The explo-
sionS killed many of our men and
destroyed part Of the city. The dead
of the enemy number about 1000
and 1000 wounded.
'On our part we cannot tell the
losses of the battle, which lasted for
five consecutive days, but think
there are not more than 500 dead
n 500 severely wounded. Our
artillery operated splendidly. The
Federal DESTROYED every .Dw'. the

overcome by the forces Of Gems. Vii

soldiers scaled hill after hill, killing
and wounding thousands of Federals
and suffering heavy losses them
selves. So far it has been imDossi-
bic TO obtain an accurate estimate of
losses on both sides. The heaps of
dead on h mountain side and in the
city bore testimony OF the ~ferocity of
the fighting.
Gen. Villa was in the van Of the
attacking party. Five members
Of his staff accompanying him
were wounded. The number of Con-

But the farmer can't see it that
way. Often he buys a high priJ 70

PRESSED INTO ARMY

Word was received this week stat
ing that Knud Hansen, who with hi
wife, is visiting their old home in
Denmark, has been compelled to
serve in the army of Denmark. 1t
seems that when Mr.. Hansen came
to America from Denmark he still
had several months more time to
serve in the army. Every year, he
has had the time extended as to
when he would return and serve GU,
the remainder of his time. This act
probably obligated him to serve the
same, when he returned to Dem

Anon there drifted on the scene
a car,
propelled by gasoline.
The judge rode up in motor car
and said to Maude: "Ah, there YOU
are" He killed his enjine i'm the
shade OF the apple trees, to chin
the maid. He spoke of milage on
his tires, as is the way Of all good
Liars. He said his car was quite
the best and had the edge ON all

brooklet drank and forthwith start

started in and cranked some more.
He cranked and cranked till he
reeked with sweat, and crank

A GOOD PARENT

good parent is one who does
everything in his power to prepare
his child for complete living. To
live completely one does not simply
exist. He is not narrow, confirming
his life to one narrow aim or to the
happiness of one place. Preparing
the child for making money only
is not preparing him to live. Of
course, self preservation is the first
law OF nature and one must secure
the physical needs, but if that is
the only aim in life, then humanity
is not higher than the beast. From
the standpoint of getting money a
few men have made a success who
cannot even read understandingly
or write intelligently, but you will
notice that they never join in dis
cussions of political, social religious
or other questions of Importance to
the nation, or if they do, they show
their narrowness of mind, and
Ignorance of the very things that
make Up life. No we'll meaning

to such class.
A good parent sympathizes with
his child and will put himself to
Inconvenience to cooperate with

the love of the beautiful seems to
be inherent in all children, but
in many instances this taste is ner-
verified by the time the child's six
teen Eears of age. Who is to
blame? How many parents there
are who repress all love for the
beautiful in their children by max
ing fun of their likes, ambitions and
plans. Many, many boys leave the
farm because every time they wish

city they are given the old broken

are given the worst implements to

such implements do not cause much

The Alba Republican tells of a
farmer near there who spent S25
advertising his public sale, which is
about four times the amount usual
ly spent. The result was that the
sale brought HIM over $500 more
than his higezt estimate, so he think
that it was money we'll spent. Farm

PEACE OF NATIONS
