THE FIGHT NOT ENDED.
Doyle People Will Go Before the
National Convention,

Most of the Republican politicians who
attended the recent state convention in
Atlanta have returned home The Deveaux
people are jubilant because they won a
complete victory over their opponents and
kept them strictly on the outside of the
convention. Not only were the Chatham
delegates favorable to Col. Deveaux seat
ed, but the cbntesting delegates from all
the other counties in the district who fol-
lowed the Deveaux banner were also seat
ed
In fact, the delegates were seated strict
ly according to the list made up by Col.
Deveaux as secretary, so a Doyle leader
stated yesterday. Prof. r. r. Wright was
given a chance to make a speech on the
floor of the convention, but that was about
the only show the Doyle people got.
THE state convention doesn't settle it,"
remarked the Doyle man significantly.
I'VE will be on hand al the National Con-
vention in June and il is a two to one shot
that our men will be seated
1t is evident from this hat the local Re
publican fight is by no means ended.

MIR. Ii. T.. GUERARD DEAD.
Well Known Resident of Button
Passed Away In savannah.


Mr.. Barnard Elliott Guerard died yes
terday morning at an early hour at the
residence of his son-in-law, Mr.. Paul H.
Lyman, No 2O9 Charlton street. east He
was a resident of Button, s. c.. but of
late years he was accustomed to spend the
winters in Savannah.
Eighty-three years was the span of Mr.
Guerard's life He was born in 1917 in
st. Lukes parish, Beaufort district. S. c.
For many years he lived in Savannah, ana
his entire life was spent here and in the
vicinity. He was a SON of Jacob Guerard
and Mary Lucia Bull, both of whom were
representatives of prominent South Caro-
lima families. Mr. Guerard was twice mar
ried his first wife being Miss Mary Guer-
ard and his second Mrs. Christopher J.
Gadsden, who survives him. Mrs Gadsden
was Miss Catherine b. Guerard, so that
both wives were cousins of the husband.
Two children, DR.. Benjamin Guerard and
Mrs, POlitZer of Beaufort were born of Mr.
Guerards first marriage.
Mr. Guerard was a rice planter for many
years and a man of means He was partic-
ularly prosperous until the war swept
away much of the product of his labors,
but. returning to the culture of his extern
sive rice lands along the Savannah river
he was able in large part TO restore his
fortunes.
One meeting Mr.. Guerard was at once
struck by his individuality. To an emil
nent degree he represented the type mat
is rapidly passing away-a type born of
the opportunities of the earlier time of
which it was a result. Digniffed and
commanding in appearance, courteous and
gentle in manner and with the advantage
of a complete education, he was an ex-
ponent in his later years of what has
been styled ''the old school
IL was not Mr.. Guerards custom to
speak of religion, and even those who
knew him best might not have believed
him one who thought deeply upon relig-
ious questions Yet he was a lay reader
i'm the Church of the Cross at Bluffton for
many years and the quiet dignity with
which he conducted services there was
evidence of the Christian character of the
man.
In the death of Mr.. Guerard the little
town of Button has lost its central fig
ure. His home there was the embodiment
of hospitality and open at all times to
his friends and acquaintance.
The funeral will take place this otter
noon at o'clock from the residence of
Mr. Lyman.

The question OF the right OF the District
Commissioners 20 issue proclamation
having the effect OF a statute law came
up for a hearing today before Justice
Barnard, sitting in Equity Court, No. ?.
The matter arose from the petition of
Thomas Edward Clark asking the court
to restrain Poundmaster Einstein from
impounding a dog, under the authority Of
a proclamation" issued by the District
Commissioners on December 10 last. The
proclamation requires that all dogs in the
District shall be muZZled. whether IL
censed OF not
When the case was called the Commits
sioners. represented by the Attorney for
the District A. b. Duvall. and his two as
sistants, c. A. Brandenburg and A. F. Sin
clair, entered a general demurrer to the
complaint, on the ground that the cir
cumstances set forth in the petition for in
junction were not such as would warrant
his relief in a court Of equity. Argument
was heard on the question as 10 whether
or not the complaint should be dismissed
or the defendant be made 10 answer 10 the
petition.
Attorney West Steever. representing the
petitioner. contended that the proclama-
ton Of December 10 last requiring the
muZZling OF all dogs within the District
limits is void and invalid, because the
Commissioners have no authority TO issue
proclamation: that there is no instance
where such power has been delegated TO
the Commissioners. The authority TO issue
a proclamation is given only TO one person,
who has the power 10 afiX the great seal
Of the Government He Contended that il
such a notice as the proclamation referred
to was law it cannot be revoked, except
/ by Congress itself Il cannot be set aside
by the Commissioners themselves.
PTOclamatiOns, IL was contended. could
only be issued by the President. Governors
Of States and Mayors OF cities, who have
authority TO atiiX a great seal.
II was admitted that the Commissioners
can make police regulations for the gov
eminent OF the District but cannot re-
woke them. This power, the lawyer con-
tended, belongs 10 and is invested in Con-
gress alone.
The lawyer declared that il the procla-
nation in question is a law the COmmis-
sioners had no authority 10 make it, and
/ even taxing il for granted that they had
/ the right, they have DO power 10 revoke
/ il. that power belonging solely 10 Con-
/ gress- The inability Of the Commissioners
I 10 revoke the proclamation renders il void
and invalid.
The opening argument on behalf Of the
/ Commissioners was made by Assistant Dis
( trict Attorney Clarence A. Bradenberg.
After hearing the arguments Of Mr.. Du-
/ vail and O reply by Mr.. Steeyer. Justice
