Opens the Gate Wide.

The decision of the State Supreme
Court in the case of the disfranchised
voters in the Calhoun County cleo
tion is no surprise to those who have
kept up with the case. Itwas clear
ly foreshadowed in the courts decis-
ion as pronounced by Justice Woods
in the first injunction case brought
by these disfranchised voters to re-
gain their rights. If the State Con-
stitution and the United States Con-
stitution are worth the paper they
are printed on, we do not believe
that the decision of the State Su-
preme Court will stand the test of a
review by the United States Supreme
Court, which is far removed from all
local influence and will judge the
question on it's merits. To that tri-
bunal we hope the case will be ap-
pealed, so as the matter can be set
tied for all time.
If the decision ended with the for
nation of Calhoun County it would
be bad enough, but when it is taken
into consideration that the decision
forms a precedent by which all such
cases shall be judged in future elec-
tions in this State, it will be seen
that it is far reaching in its scope
and may have a disastrous bearing on
white unity in South Carolina. The
Supreme Court and all others concer-
ned, may as we'll understand once
for all that our white people will not
submit to being deprived of their
votes whenever it suits the purposes
of new county promoters to deprive
them. Dissension among white peo-
pie has taken place in Virginia and in
North Carolina, and in both instances
it resulted in a small faction of the
white people taking up the negro
and seeing that he was registered
and his vote counted. In both
States the movement was disastrous
to white unity, and for a time the
negro voter was in the saddle again.
Let US hope that no such disaster
will ever be brought about in South
Carolina by this decision.
This decision opens the gate wide,
and selfish men will not be slow to
use the means thus put in their hands
of taking advantage of their fellow
man to carry out their schemes. I'm
der this decision people of any ambi-
tious town in the State can form
new county by manipulating its lines
so as to disfranchise nearly all those,
who may be opposed to the scheme.
and thus insure its success. The
disfranchised voters would be pow
erless to protect themselves. The
State Supreme Court in making the
decision they did reversed itself,
and trampled on all precedents here
tofore established by the decisions
of other courts. Astute lawyers
say they know of no decision by any
court that sustains the position
taken by our highest court, and they
are satisfied that if carried to the
United States Supreme Court it will
be set aside. The disfranchised
voters owe it to themselves as we'll
as to others to see the matter to
the end. They should by all means
take the case to the United States
Supreme Court for final adiudica-
ton. and, if that tribunal says their
disfranchisement was legal, they
should tear up their registration
certificates, as they would mean
nothing.

The Earl Wants Money.

A few days age another rich
American woman gave herself to an
impoverished prince of Hungary in
exchange for his effete title.J ust
before the new bride sailed for her
foreign home, Miss Alice Thaw,
another rich woman, who had given
herself to the Earl of Yarmouth. in
exchange for his title few years
ago, came back to this country
thoroughly disguised with the bad
bargain she had made in trusting
herself and money in the keeping OF
a fortune hunting nobleman of the
old world. This..once deluded wo-
man has gone back to her girlhood
home with all the romance knocked
out of her by the brutality of the
man she sold herself to, and she is
seeking a divorce.
Now comes the news that the
Thaws have been notified by attor-
neys for the Earl of Yarmouth that
the latter will demand a settlement
financially before submitting to a
divorce, as he holds a paper signed
by his wife before her marriage
which will give him the right to col
lect heavily of her fortune. The
paper is an agreement that all her
fortune shall pass TO the house OF
the Earl in the event of her dying
childless.
The Earl seeks to recover the
modest sum from his wife's family
of one million dollars for having
married their daughter and giving
her the chance of becaming his
banker. The story goes that on the
occasion of the Earl's marriage to
Miss Thaw that her brother Harry,
on finding that the Earl had sent
his sister, as a wedding present a
loving cup of gold hurled the cup
through the window and threatened
to kill servant who would have re-
turned it to the house. Then Mrs.
Thaw brought peace by threatening
to have Harry's income cut off for
five years if he made another effort
to interfere with preparations,
which the family had made to mar
ry a real live Earl into the family.

trip was chiefly an exploratory tour
through the Uintah reservation

Of any kind over the body Jordan
submitted to arrest without protest
and was locked up. Giving his name
and address he declared the body was
that of his wife and said he was per-
festly willing to tell everything re-
garding the case. For more than four
hours Jordan was closeted with the
police, and time after time went over
the horrible details. While he pro-
fessed he was dazed when the crime
was committed. yet by clearness and
iconciseness of his tale it seemed ap-
parent that whatever preceded the
actual killing and covering Of the
crime. was carefully planned. The
story of the murder was substantially
as follows:
He stated that he was married in
September, 1904. to Mrs. Honorah
Eddy. whose maiden name was O'Reil-
ly, and whose home was in Somerville.
The couple went on the vaudeville
stage, Mr. Jordan taking the part of a
tramp and his wife that of a nurse, in
, a sketch. They went first to Butte
four years ago, but only remained
there three or four weeks. Later they
went to Chicago and appeared in some
OF the theaters there. remaining three
months. About three years ago they
returned to SOmerville and took a flat.
Mrs. Jordan, according to her husband
had taken to drinking and was asso-
ciating with other men and he became
jealous. 1t was in a jealous quarrel
that the trouble started which ended
