 Suddenly Crawford changed his mind and told the mother of the young wo- man that he would not marry her daugh- ter He assigned no acceptable reason. treasure was brought on the authorities here to prevent his being commissioned on the ground that mo true Southern gentleman would discard a young lady Polltlclans and other influential people or south Carolina took the case up and brought 1t to the Presidents attention.
