A VANISHING ISLAND:
Falcon Isle Disappears and Reappears In
an Astonishing Manner.

Falcon Isle Disappears and Reappears In
an Astonishing Manner.
One OF the most curious islands ia
the world is now known on the charts
rs Falcon Island. It is curious from
the fact that it appears and reappears
1t intervals in the most exasperatins
manner. and has been doing this ever
since 1888, when it was first taken pos
session of and charted.
This island is one Of the Tonga
group. and when in 1885 England took
possession of it her officers found it.
crowned with palm trees and tropical
vegetation. The highes. bluff was
some 153 feet above the sea level, and
on this the Union Jack was planted.
But only. year later the island had
disappeared. The cliff was represented
by a low-lying, dangerous reef. and
there was not the rcmotest sign OF:
vegetation. For thus making away
with itself Falcon Island was speedily
wiped off the charts.
But in 1892 french man-of-war re-
discovered it and duly planted the tri-
color flag thereon At that time Falcon
Island afforded for the planting OF the
flagstaff cliff twenty-five feet high
at the southern end (the bluff men
toned above was at the northern end.
and it was covered with growth OF
green bushes ard ferns. But Falcon
Island did not behave any better with
it's new possessors than with England.
for in April, 1884. it had again done
the vanishing act, only streak OF
reef remaining.
About year later the TonSan Gov,
crnment took it in hand and went to
find Falcon Island. They did find it
with a vengeance. for when they ar
rived they found an Island with Doid',
steep sides, the highest point being
fifty feet above sea leves. 1t was taken
possession of it in the name OF King
George OF Tonga and formed part oil,

Croft to Have Opposition.


An Augusta, Ga, news item says:
Ex-Governor NJ. B. Sweeney, of South
Carolina, passed through the city en-
route to Columbia, to attend meet
ing of the state democratic executive
committee, of which he is a member.
The meeting is called to fix the
dates of the party primaries for the
congressional vacancy in the second
South Carolina district, caused by the
death of Congressman George ".
Croft.
Governor McSweeney says there is
nothing in the report that all other as
pirants for the place will withdraw,
and leave the office to Theodore Croft,
son of the dead congressman. While
the sentiment is pretty one, men
have their political ambitions, and the
right to avail themselves Of opportun-
tiles to further them, and there are
already several men in the race and
several more who will probably enter.
Il have had several friends to urge
me 10 enter the race, and promise me
Their support and to express the opin-
ion that l can be elected if run, but
l am out of politics, and have no de
sire to get back in. l was never de-
feated for any Office in South Carolina,
and when l left the governors office
did so with the determination to
devote my energies to my private az
fairs. There is no money in Office
holding. and a man loses valuable
years in which he could be materially
building up his business and accumu-
lating a competence"
You spoke Of others entering the
race?'
Yes; l hear that ex-Congressman
". ]. Tolbert, who was in the race for
governor last time, and ex-Congress-
man William Elliott, who was a can
didate for the United States senate IN
the last primaries, are going to run,
and L. J. Williams, S. G. Mayfeld, J..
o. Patterson and Theodore Croft are
already in the field.
The governor has fixed May II as
the date of the election 20 fill the va
cancy. and the executive committee
will fix the primaries for certain dates
in April There is likely to be good
string cf candidates. and it may take
TWO primaries to settle on the nomi-
nee. OF course. whoever is nominated

THOSE SWAYNE CHARGES

fense Also Included.


evidence in the impeachment proceed
ings against Judge Charles Swayne,
of the northern district of Florida,
taken in Florida by the house sub
committee of the judiciary committee.
and including the brief of Judge
Swayae before the committee in. his
own defense, and that Of Judge B. S
Liddon, for the prosecution, was fur
nishei to the committee Thursday in
printed form for the first time The
document consists OF $50 printed
pages.
The charges against Judge Swayns
are concsely as follows:
Nou-residence in the northern dis.
trict of the state of Florida.
For unlawfully imposing fine and
imprisonment of one E. T. Davis and
S. Belden in 1901.
For unlawfully committing to pris.
on in 1902 one O'Neal for alleged con-
temp. Of court.
Fox conduct unbecoming a judge in
appointing one Tunison in 1900, know.
ing him to be man of bad character.
In his own defense Judge Swayne
filed with the committee letters Of II
dorsement from seventeen lawyers
and FIVE other persons, not attorneys,
written in November, 1897, recon-
mending to President Mckinley his
appointment to succeed Justice Field
on the supreme court bench Of the
United States. He also filed twenty
four letters mostly from Florida at
torneys, written in February, 1898,
recommending his appointment to the
position of circuit Judge of the Fifth
circuit, which had just been created
by an act of congress.
In his brief Judge Swayne reviews
his life briefly, stating that he was
born in Delaware in 1912; read law
in Philadelphia, and was admitted to
practice there. In 1885 he moved 10
Sanford, Fla, where he practiced law
until appointed to the bench in 1883
His appointment was recess ap-
pointment, which was not confirmed
until April, 1890.
Judge Swayne said he never was a
registered voter nor had he paid any
taxes in Florida. He said he had
spent his summers mostly in Dela-
ware, but had understood that the
summer months were the proper time
for his vacation. His recollection was,
he said, that no one ever had been in
jured because Of his absence from
Florida and that the business OF his
court had not suffered.
Judge Liddon, in cross examining
Judge Swayne, asked him if he did
not understand the laws of Florida 70
provide that man could rot hold Of
fee there unless he is qualified elec-
tor. Judge Swayne admitted this.
Judge Swayne, in commenting upon
the proceedings against him, said to
the committee that they were due 10
but two cause.-the malice of the
man O'Neal, who was sentenced, and
the intense political feeling engender
ed at that period. There never would
have been anything of this had it not
been for these causes.
