Troublu in isussia.

a telegram flom St. Petersburg
says that the prospects OF general
upheaval OF the city and country with
the advent OF spring increases daily.
Evidence accumulates that the radi-
cal forces are acting In unison and
awaiting a signal which it is general
ly believed will be given shortly after
the Russian Easter. The terrorists
are showing great activity and re-
ports from all over the country prove
that the workmen, who in many cases
have been formulating petty demands
which are no sonner granted than
they are succeeded by others, are act
ing under instructions from the revolu-
tionary leaders who are only biding
their time. The employers frankly
admit that it is impossible to try to
continue their business and some OF
them have already shut down. The
people are plainly becoming panicky

a dispatch from Aiken to The

Friday created considerable surprise
in Aiken in view Of the fact that the
parties were married in St. Thaddeus
Episcopal church by the rector, Rev.
L. w. Cliff. On Monday, March 81
last, when Capt. Kane and Mrs. Elliott
we're married in Aiken this wedding
aroused considerable discussion, owing
to the fact that Mrs. Elliott has been
divorced and the laws OF South Caro-
lima are very stringent upon the sub
ject 1t is said that MIR. Cliff performed
ihe ceremony lii the face OF Consider
able objection upon the part Of some
OF his congregation.
1t is also said that some OF the
ladies of his church haraSsed him con.
siderably upon the matter, some
pleading with him Historically and
seeming to think that the church was
desecrated by such ceremony. Mr.
Cliff Is an earnest man OF strong con.
viCtions, and, as he knew that the
marriage at which he was to Ohiciate
was strictly sanctioned by the laws Of
his church and by the laws of South
Carolina, and performed the ceremony,
his congregation are now apparently
satisfied.
The second act, which occurred in
Augusta Friday was one totally unex

has created some surprise. There was
no apparent reason for q second cere.

The State correspondent Friday night
and he seemed as much surprised as
every one else. He had no statement
to make, and all he would say was
that he knew no reason for it and
could not understand why the Augusta

Mrs. Ruby Llrned, wife OF VIM.
Livingston Larned, an illustrator,
who died a few days ago, in New

were considered suspicious, came to
her death by poison, self-inilicted with

reached by a coroner's jury Thursday.
The dead woman's husband testified
at the inquest that Mrs. Larned had
been unhappy on account OF his fre
quent forced business trips; that she
was nervous and excitabls. and had
threatened to commit suicide. Both
Larned and his wife were from Geor-

who gave his name as j. Everest
Worthington, whose former place of

to learn, was captured within block
OF the State House, where he said he
was going tc kill Governor e. W.
Hoch. The .nan was unarmed, but

was made Tuesday.
Worthington Is now in the county
Jail and will be sent to an asylum.
Communication with The man Is held
by means of written questions, and
answers, as he preten6s to be deaf and

1T had not been for his officer who

PUTTING IT STRONG.
A Lady's Pupgent Remarks About
Marriages and Divorce.


Miss Jeanette L. Glider, editor of
rhe Critic, places the morals of d.
vorce in this lucid manner before the
readers OF the New York Globe: "An
honest man. does not repudiate his
business responsibilities nor refuse to
pay his gambling debts. Then why
should he be considered honest in re-
pudiating his domestic liabilities Or
refusing TO pay a debt incurred In
the great lottery? Ii is not consid-
cred honest for a woman to have chill
dren and no husband. Then why
should it be considered honest for a
woman to have children by two living
men? They cannot both be her hus-
bands. And surely the fact that
some words have been said by some
licensed Gtlicer over one does not make
her more virtucus than the other, for
apparently they have not bound her
any tirmer. Neither does trip into
complaisant state legalize these con-
nections or alter the moral aspect of
the case. These are perhaps ugly
facts to look III the face, but they
are none the less true. and II the
sweetness and sacredness of American
homes are to be maintained the ugly
facts'of these progressive marriages
must be envisaged."

ings township and the cost of con-
structing proper road is a larger
burden than one township is able to
assume. There is reason to believe
that by using the county road machine
and working the full width of the
highway that enough gravel would be
found in the sub-soil for the building
OF a safe, permanent road properly
faced to shed the water and be passa-
BILE at all seasons. There was some
criticisms made at the time our COM
missioners purchased the, big road
grader and here is the opportunity
and now the time to show that it was
a wise investment, an illustration of
its usefulness that will appeal to a
large number of citizens.

townships petition the board Of county
commissioners to take action in the
matter and by their aid restore COM

GOOD ROADS
A NECESSITY
The Road Between Brookings and
Volga in Bad Condition

In the last weeks issue of the Volga
Tribune a strong plea was made for
the county to take some action in
making a good permanent road across
the river bottom between this city and
our neighbor on the west side OF the
Sioux. On account of the heavy rain
fall this year the direct road has been
impossible large part of the spring
and summer and in order to 60 from
one town to the other a long detour
has been necessary making a trip Of
seventeen miles. This is a matter Of
great inconvenience, loss Of time and
expense and has been a hardship, not
only on the citizens of the towns, but
also to the farmers having business
either at the county seat or at Nolga.
This condition is not only of local
interest but affects to a great degree at
least one-third Of the county; By
consulting the county map it will be
seen that there is about two and one
half or three miles Of the bottom that,
if put in good shape by grading,
would give good dry highway that
would be usable at all times of the

DESTROYED
BY LIGHTNING
College Sheep Barn is Totally Des-
tr0yed by Fire.

Tuesday morning the fire whistle
called the fire department to the col
lege farm, where the sheep barn was
found on fire at the northwest corner.
Lightning had struck large hay loft
and in an instant it was ablaze. The
barn is L shape, as will be seen from
the above engraving, and was struck
at the angle formed by the two wings.
One of the hose carts was first at the
fire, but it was only about halfenough
hose to reach from the hydrant at the
corner of the big barn to the fire. The
Chemical was first to get into action
and was keeping the fire confined to
the one portion Of the building while
the farm employees and hook and
ladder men tore away the connecting
sheds. One portion had been pulled
down, when in an instant the wind
shifted to the northwest, swept the
flames through both of the wings and
drove fire fighters and spectators
hundred feet from the building by the
intensity of the heat.
A horse barn over 100 feet southwest
was in danger of catching fire from
the awful heat, but the chemical en-
gine kept playing on it until the other
hose arrived and the hose company
could get action.
The building had all fallen in in
side OF half an hour and the fire had
done all the damage possible in very
short time. The barn was erected
about six years ago and cost nearly
$4,000. The state was carrying $1,000
insurance on it at this time. The
matter OF providing new quarters for
the sheep will be taken up by the
regents at the earliest meeting.
