Blockaders in Limbo.
Yesterday there was a party on
trial for fighting, and at the trial
evidence cropped out that the fight
took place at a blockade still and
the following held for trial, which
is set for next Saturday: Monroe
Paul, Lee Long, Ralph Andrews
;ind George Hamsontii.str
named being colored. Andrews has
not been apprehended, Paul gave
bond, while the others are in jail
awaiting trial.
Deputy Marshal Morris is mak
ing for himself quite a reputation
and is pulling blockaders right
Watterson to Jones.
General" Rosalie Jones, hav
ing challenged Col. Henry Wat
terson for a joint debate, received
from the gifted colonel this re
freshing reply:
"Nay, nay, Rosalie, dear Rosal
ie. Shall we not drop the unwo
manly and unmeaning general'
and call you pet names? You have
the wrong pig by the ear. Let
Foxy Grandpa press an ice upon
you. Stick your pantaletts in your
boots, little girl, and instead of
facing that dreadful mob from the
courthouse steps let us go and
hunt buttercups. Your brains,
Rosalie, if we may say it without
offense, still run to your legs
naughty brains for brains were
made to think with and legs were
made to walk with, and walking,
not debating, has been, as may it
ever be, your long suit, sweetheart."
Reckless Riding.
i()n Saturday night, just in front
of Hambrick & Austin's, on Main
Street, a boy by the name of
Walker, ran into Dr. B. E. Love's
machine. Dr. Love had just
started to turn around and his ma
chine was at a standstill when the
boy dashed into it with his bicy
cle. The bicycle was twisted up
considerably but the rider was
unhurt, strange to say.
For some time it has been the
custom of the boys who ride bi
cycles to use Main Street after
dark as a speedway and the won-
der is that there has not been a
more serious accident. While
automobiles are restricted to ten
miles boys on wheels have had no
speed limit and frequently they
come dashing down Main Street at
a'srait of twenty miles or more.
This little accident may be a les
son to them and cause them to be
more careful.

Corn Growing Rapidly.
Quite a number of our farmer
friends have spoken about the ra
pid growth of corn since the re
freshing" seasons, but our good
friend, and most excellent farmer,
Mr. W. Chesley Wrenn takes the
cake. He says his corn is fine, in
fact it is growing so rapid that it
is pulling up the earth. Next!
Huerta Resigns as Mexican Pres
ident.
General . Victoriano Huerta re
signed from the Provisional Presi
dency of the Mexican republic
Wednesday night and his resigna
tion was accepted by the Sen te
and Chamber of Deputies by a
vote of 121 to 17.
Francisco Carbajal then was ap
pointed President and took the
oath of office at the joint session
of the Deputies and Senators.
Huerta 's resignation was sub
mitted through the department of
Foreign Relations. It was read in
the House and was greeted with
cries of "Viva Huerta." It then
was referred to the joint commit
tees of Gobernacion. After brief
consideration the committees re
ported, accepting the resignation.
President Carbajal proceeded to
the National Palace under an es
cort of Presidential guards, and
all along the way was greeted with
tumultuous cheering.
Victoriano Huerta took oath as
Provisional President of Mexico
February 19, 1913, the day after
Francisco I. Madero had been ar:
rested at the national palace. Three
days later Madero and Jose Maria
Pino Saurez, Vice-President, were
shot to death on a midnight ride
under guard, from the palace to
the penitentiary. The manner of
their death never has been satis
factorily explained.
News of General Huerta's re-
signation was hailed by official

Washington as the first practical
step towardfti quick solution of thie
Mexican problem. Constitutional
ists, diplomats and officials of the
United States were -elated over
General Huerta s voluntary with
drawal and predicted an era of
peace in his country.
Although the Constitutionalists
have declared they would not rec
ognize Carbajal as Provisional
President, and the United States
government likewise will refuse to
recognize him, the understanding
at Washington is that the new Ex
ecutive will hold office only until
arrangements can be made for the
entry of General Carrauza, the
Constitutionalist chief.
Diplomats in close touch with
the situation declare Carbajal and
those who are associated with him
in an effort to restore peace, de
sire only a general amnesty, con
serving: the lives and property of
Huerta 's. supporters. With this
the Mexican capital of Constitu
tionalist troops will be negotatd.
General Huerta s retirement
came just as the Constitutionalists
were preparing their formal note
declining participation in informal
conferences with Huerta delegates
to discuss internal Mexican questions.-;
With. Huerta's retirement the
Constitutionalists feel their revol
ution" virtually has triumphed.

Interurban Train Great Sight.
On a reeent visit to Charlotte
three impressive things were ob
served; first, the passage through
the streets of the splendid electric
train, made up of three or four
cars of the same size as those on
steam roads, and beautiful in their
appointments. It is promised that !
in a few years these trains will be
running to Raleigh, which it seems
is to be for a time at least the east
ern terminus of what will be one
of the longest electric interurban
roads in the United States, if not
the longest. Raleigh Jimes.
