Divorce is not recogni zed in
South Carolina. The constitution
of the state declares that ''divorce
from the bonds of matrimony shall
not be allowed in his state No
conditions or exceptions of extern
uating circumstances are accepted.
In the constitutional convention
of 1905 an attempt was made to
modify that memorable provision,
but it failed utterly. The consti-
tuition of 1868, which was in force
but few days authorized divorce
for adultery and deseration, but the |
public sentiment would not permit |
the courts to apply the law, and
there is only one instance on record
in which a degree was granted.
Nor will a divorced person be re-
ceived by the best society.
The streets of Charleston, S. c.,
aud the passages that surround the
city market are kept clean without
expense to the municipal treasury
by flock of industrious buzzards,
who come soaring in from their
eyries in the pine forests and per-
form their task with nea n SIS and
dispatch. And it has been observ-
ed for many years that they never
appear on Sunday. The extraordi-
nary sense of propriety and their
pipus observance of the habits of
the inhabitants of Charleston has
been the subject of much specula-
ton. The cir is black with the
plumage of the birds on week DAYS,
but on Sunday their shadows never
all within the city limits, and one
Of the theories is that the historic
bells of ST. Mitchael's church,
which have Weakened the people
Of Charleston since 1894, have
warned the buzzards away.

BRYAN AND NUGENT
HAD CORDIAL MEETING.
State Chairman of Democrats
Says Nebraskan Will Wiz.

immediately upon his return from
Trenton last night City Counsel James
r. Nugent, chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. took occasion to re-
flute the story that his meeting with
William Jennings Bryan had beer any
thing but cordial. He characterized
this published statement as a deliber-
ate untruth, declaring that he had spent
an unusually pleasant half day with
the standard bearer of the Democracy.
Continuing. he said:
"Mr. Bryan this afternoon told me
that he was delighted with the work so
far done and the results that were
made apparent In the wonderful ova-
tons given him whenever he appeared.
He expressed a belief that he would
carry New Jersey, and I agreed with
him.
Il believe that Mr.. Bryan will carry
the country from end to end, and that
New Jerseys electoral vote will be for
him. The enthusiasm today was gen
uine. The tribute of the people was
sincere. and 1t means votes.'

When Mr.. Taft read our publicity
plank he tried to jump from his plat
form 10 ours and he fell halfway be-
tween. If / am elected there will prop
ably be a Democratic Congress and we
can accomplish legislation that will
bring about publicity for campaign con-
tributions."
Mr.. Bryan also spoke of the Demo
cratic platforms d~enland for the repre-
sentatlon of LAHORE in the Presidents
Cabinet, and promised to bring 1t About
as soon as elected.
The Injunction Plank.
Mir. Bryan devoted a short time to
the Democratic Platforms injunction
plank, defending it against Mr.. Taft's
criticism that it is weak. He said the
plank as it stands is certain and I'M
e~quivocal and goes further thai the Re-
publicans dared to go. Taking up the

that this law was intended for indus

Hope for New Era.
Mr.. Bryan spoke of the accumula-

said that even President Roosevelt had
been forced to cry out against the
methods employed in acquiring them.
Concluding, he said:
But when President Roosevelt
brings his Indictment, it is against the
Republican party, because 1t was under
the Republican legislation that the
swollen fortunes nave been created.
We say. take away privilege and fla
voritism and let the government be

eral times in the station, ONCE by two
richly dressed young women, whom he
knew or who said he knew them, he

parlor car and shook hands until the

men cheered the candidate, Az each. sta

crowd waving her apron at him. ,"Ah!"

That Burlington, and likewise James
II. Birch. are dear to Mr.. Bryan, was
shown by this telegram Mr.. Birch, a
rich carriage builder, received: Am

not to nave owe two speeches in one
day, but will make an exception of
Burlington n speak there half an

"W. ]. BRYAN
Mr. Birch is a Bryan enthusiast. He
was the first to raise q campaign ban
ner for the Democratic candidate In
this section When Birch sileard that
| Bryan's itinerary would carry him
through New Jersey he wired the can
didate to please make a speech in the
Burlington Auditorium. Then Birch de-
cided that 1t would not be fair ia Bryan
or Trenton admirers to hold the can
didate In Burlington half an hour, SO
he wired Mr.. Bryan, thanking him, and
said that while 1t was his fondest wish
| to AVE the Nebraskan speak in Bur-
~linston, he believed that for the best
interests of all concerned he should
merely speak from his train.
Mr.. Bryan made a short address
from his train as 1t passed through
Burlington last night. The candidate was
shaking hands with several hundred
boys and girls, when the chairman Of
the local committee, dazzling madly
down the tracks from the station,
burst through the crowd and thrust
upon the nominee an immense bouquet
of American Beauty roses.
That's from the Burlington city
committee. Bill" the chairman shouted.
and as he was greeted with a laugh
he added; you are all right, Bill, and
We will elect you this time" When the
train reached the big crowd, which
seemed several times the population Of
Burlington, it was already quite dark.
Mr.. Bryan said to the crowd:

HUMPTY AND HIS
PALS PLANNED To
LEAP FOR LIBERTY
Key Made of Tin Found Tucked
Away in Watch Pocket OF
His Trousers.
IT FITTED HANDCUFFS
WORN BY THE TRIO
CieverIy Shaped from Tin Cover
of Condensed Milk
Can.


That "Numpty' Williams and his
companions Martin Tiffany and Rich
ard Vaughn. who were sentenced to
State prison for fourteen years for
burglary, had quietly planned TO escape
was brought to light today, when the
prisoners were being searched by
Keeper Fred Sherr. previous to being
taken to the State prison n Trenton.
A small piece of tin vas found in the
little watch pocket of "Humpty" Will
isms.s trousers. The edges had been
trimmed and shaped In such a way
that it would only have been necessary
10 insert the meta in the lock of the
handouts and they would open az easily
as If a key were used. Sherr expert
mented with the tin ~handcuff-key and
opened the handouts time after time.
In the cell occupied by "Humpty" Will
Jams a piece OF strong wire was found.
and 1t was thought that he q in
tended to pick the vel TO the cell.
II is cugtomazy to take prisoners in
the baggage car of a train when rams
fering them to tine State prison, and
il would have been an easy matter for
Williams to open his handouts and
pass the piece of tan to his partners
and then at the first opportunity make
"A dash for freedom.
When Williams was questioned by
Warden Steadman, he sefused to make
a statement, nor would he tell how he
came to nave the piece of tin or ex-
plain the presence of h wire in ms
cell.
Prisoners in the county Jail are per
United to buy condensed milk, and
Warden Steadman says that Williams
had evidently cut the top from one OF
the cans with "A pair of scissors which
ls given the prisoners for manicure
purposes.
The warden said that the conduct Of
the prisoners had been excellent since
they have been III h county Jail ana
no one suspected that they would try
to escape.
