Prof. J. F. Jameson of the Carnegie In

thorough investigation of the claims of the
rival coaches. he gave as his opinion:
Accordingly, l am forced to" conclude
that we have no serious evidence to show
that either of these carriages belonged to

much to show that the coach now at
Mount Vernon belonged instead to Mrs.

MARRIAGES MAY BE VOID
Chicago Judge Holds that Illinois Di-
vorcees Cannot Wed in Other States

A score Of marriages which have been
performed n Kenosha during the past
few years we're called into question in
Chicago yesterday when Judge Carpen-
ter handed down decision holding void
marriage of Illinois divorced persons
which had been celebrated at Valparai
so, Indiana. In his decision the court
declared that no divorced person from
Illinois could be married IN another
state and that he would declare any
such marriage void if it were shown by
evidence that the couple had gone to
the other state to wed for the express
purpose of avoiding the laws~of the
state of Illinois.
a hurried examination cf the records
seems to indicate that in the past year
and half twenty divorced couples
from Illinois have been married in this
city. Most Of these have been married
on court orders issued in the county
court

Kaufman and German.
The Chicago man was induced to bet
$4,000 on German with the understand
ing that the fight was fixed but German
got wallop in the stomach in the
second round and went down and out
for good. 1t was alleged that German
had been killed and the crowd fled.
Later the Chicago man learned how he
had been swindled and told his story
to the Chicago detectives and they man
aged to arrest WE'LL.

TO GIVE OUT LANDS
Government To Offer Many Farms
to Settlers on InstaIIment
Plan Beginning May
MUST RESIDE ON BIG TRACTS

The government will place on the
market ON May l next, 2.135 farms, and
will allow their purchasers ten years
within which to pay for them. The
area of the farms will range from ten
to 160 acres and they are made availa-
bic by the completion and development
of irrigation projects in the west.
In Nevada, in connection With the
! Truckee Carson project, farms of eighty
acres can be taken up with an entry
fee of SIS and So per acre annually for
ten years. There are 1000 of these
farms. Ii Oregon 200 farms will be
available oil the Umatilla project of
FROM ten to twenty acres These lands
will cost from 5000 to $1,2G0 In South
Dakota on the Belle Fourche project,
l75 farms will be available in tracts
of eighty acres; in Wyoming 200 OH the
North Platte project and 200 on the
Shoshone project, costing f1pm-$600 to
$1,000.
Residence and cultivation of the
, farms will be required of purchasers
j and every means will be taken to guard
iagainst SPECTATORS purchasing them
Director Newell Of the United States
reclamation service and Chief Statisti-
clan Blanchard are preparing for Gar
field a report in which he is advised
that the lands are now ready, and
that May will be the appropriate
date to put them on the market, The
farms are all close to railroad connec-
tiou.
The division of information of the
immigration bureau can furnish places
for 500 men who are willing to work
on farms for from $40 to $15 per
month, board and lodging included.
The division recently sent out $4,000
circular letters to farmers in all parts
Of the country and from replies so far
received viii supply to its agents in
the Maritime building in New York the
addresses Of 500 farmers who want
a hired man. The object Of the di-
vision in sending out these circulars
was to find places for aliens who came
from farms in their native countries
and from a large percentage Of for
eigners who are stranded IN New York
city or nearly SO and who make pre-
carious living doing odd jobs.
The fact that. the financial depression
Of the past six months has caused a
migration to the country is shown by
scores of letters which say that the
eeds of farmers have been met to con-
siderable extent in the eastern part of
the country by men driven from the
cities to accept work on farms. Chief
Powderly Of the division of informa-
ton expects to locate places on farms
for several thousand aliens by the
time spring opens and planting begins.

Governor Ansel's Good Record.

"Martin f. Ansel will never take the
blue ribbon as a hot-air artist; he will
never star as the promiser of wonders
to perform; he will never take a drink
with the boys to get the votes of the
boys; he will never secure the endorse
ment of illicit dealers in whiskey.
"But he will succeed himself as gov
crnor of South Carolina, because a vast
majority of the people admire the man
who, without fuss or feathers, but
p~loddingly and faithfully, does his duty.
h vast majority admire the man who
does not flatter or deceive, but whose
b%luntness is the bluntness of sterling
honesty. The vast majority wish a
governor who is Independent, whose
word is sacred, and whose integrity is
absolutely beyond question:"
The foregoing is al expression from
the Columbia State. The News sub
scribes most heartily to every word
contained therein. Governor Ansel's
administration has not been a noisy
one, but it has been a busy one, and
he has accomplished a great deal. He
has made mistakes, no doubt, but none
of his errors have amounted to the
slightest injury to the State at large.
His is a wonderfully clean record, and
it is a pleasure for the G~reenville
News to speak from its heart it's sim
cere endorsement of Governor Ansel's
administration. If a mans record is
worth anything he will be reelected by
a very handsome majority. -G"rcenvillc
