Miss Maud Ashford, Until R
Gently a Society Reporti
On a Washington NeWsps
per to Become the Bride.
LONG A FRIEND OF
HIS TWO DAUGHTERS
Accompanied Private Ca
Party Last Fall When Sena
tor Davis Was Her Con
slant Companion.

Washington, Dec 3.-Former United
States Senator Henry Gassaway Davis,
of West Virginia, eighty-fOur years
old multi-milionaire and Democratic
candidate for vice president in the
last campaign, is to be married, SO in
innate friends of his assert. The bride
to-be, according to the announcement,
is Miss Maud Ashford, daughter of the
late Mahlen Ashford, poor in her own
right and only few months ago earn
ing her living by working as a society
reporter for Washington paper.
Through her marriage She will come
into vast wealth, as Senator Davis has
a fortune of S3O,OOO,O00. He is 81
and she 50 years of age.
The announcement will cause almost
as great a sensation among friends of
Senator Davis. as it did to members If
his family only a few weeks ago, when
it is said, he finally told them Of his
approaching marriage. The same
friends say the wedding bells will ring
out before the New Year dawns and
that with the marriage of their father
Mrs. Stephen B. EllIins, wife of Senator
Elkins Of West Virginia, and Mrs. Ar
thur Lee will be cut off from millions.
Behind the announcement of the
coming marriage is a story which
threatens to cause break in the fam
lily ties of the aged senator as well rs
in the friendship between Miss Ash
ford and the daughters of the prospect
i've bridegroom. The misgivings
which Senator Davis apparently felt re-
garding the attitude his family would
have toward the proposed alliance are
believed to have been reflected by the
Senator's action in giving to each Of
his daughters, 100000 just before ne
made known his plans. There are
stories Of a trousseau which is even
now complete
Friend of the Daughters.
! Whatever the attitude of Mrs. Elk
ms and Mrs. Lee may be toward their
father for taking d bride thus late in
life, and according to report, practice
ally cutting them out of his great for
tune, it is known that the prospective
bride frequently has been the guest OF
various members Of the family. partic-
ularly at their country homes in West
Virginia. Miss Ashford is d close
friend of Mrs. Lee, and when not doing
social reporting has acted as sort of
social secretary to Mrs. Lee. She is
a talented artist and has frequently de
signed and executed place cards for
dinner parties, both for Mrs. Lee and
Mrs. Elkins. Frequently she has &C
companied Mrs. Lee on trips out OF
town. and she has been shown many
kindnesses by her.
That Senator Davis contemplated
matrimony has never been seriously
considered by any member of his fam
lily. His name frequently has been
linked with various well-known social
leaders, many of them almost IN
known to the senator, but he had ap
parently remained heart free until
Miss Ashford captivated him. it is saiC
during a visit she made to Mrs. Lee
last summer when she accompanied
her hostess and Senator Davis with q
party Of young people on TRIP
through the state in the senator's pri
Vate car.

vote of three to three the Board Of
Mayor and Aldermen last night declin

Several propositions were discuss

desired a 20-year franchise for local
exchange and also franchise to OPP
crate long distance pay station This
last they have had In operation for
several weeks at the Arlington Hotel.
The franchise OF the Cumberland
Telephone Company expires in three
years, and there was a sentiment not
to tie the hands of the municipality in
advance but to leave 1t possible for
the town to deal with both compan-
les upon the expiration of the Cumber-
lands franchise.
The contention of the Long Distance
Company was that they could not
make the expenditure Of putting in the
poles and lines for local exchange
without an assurance of longer time
than three years, and hence they with
drew the proposition. The board then
goted the long distance franchise. The

CLAD OF CHANCE
MT. PLEASANT PEOPLE WANT
SALOONS sANlsHED FROM

Special to the Herald.
MT. PLEASANT, Jan. lint
Pleasant people are delighted with the
reports from the Legislature in Nash.
vile, that already the temperance
fight Is on, and that bill has already
been introduced to apply the Adams
law to the entire State. Mt. Pleasant
is awaiting the day with great delight
when this bill shall become law, and
when such is the case. Mt. Pleasant
and Columbia can unite in the effort
to drive the saloon from both places.
and thereby, from the entire county.
AS matter Of fact, the vast majority
here have always been in favor of tax
ing advantage Of the Adams law just
as soon as relief can also be had from
the open saloon in Columbia, and now
that the day seems very near. 1t is
the general opinion here that the sa-
looms must go. However, unless the
Columbia saloons are closed, there
would not be bakers dozen here who
would want the Mt Pleasant saloons
closed up, as the evils from the saloon
in Columbia would be felt here fully
as much as If they were located in this
town. Hence the demand on the part
of Mt. Pleasant people is to wipe
liquor out of the county entirely, or
else leave it in both places.

MT. PLEASANT, Jan. 10.-If there
is one thing more than another that
Mt Pleasant citizens have cause to

OF water works, and the effective use
made of it by the local fire depart

last night shortly after eight o'clock.
when fire was discovered in a small
tenement house on Blue Grass Ave.
When the fire bell sounded the alarm,
the entire house, which was frame

in just five minutes from the time
the alarm was given, "the boys" had
run the carts to the scene. coupled up
the hose and had the fire out. When
1t is remembered that the lower sec
ton of town, or BLACK Bottom" as 1t
Is more generally known, and where
this fire occurred, is a conglomerated
mass OF wooden buildings with any
and every sort of fiue and chimney,
yeritable fire trap, and in all these
years, Notwithstanding the many
alarms coming from that section, not
a fire of any magnitude has occurred
there, the fact is well demonstrated
that the fire company aided by good
water pressure is always right there
