FRANCHISE CAMPAIGN OPENED.
MARYLAND Democrats Seeking to Re-
strict Negro Votes.

Baltimore, Sept. 16.-The CAM
paign on the question Of the adop-
ton OF an amendment to the State
constitution, which is designed to dis
franchise large number of negro
voters, was formally opened tonight
at a democratic mass meeting at the
Lyric.
National interest has been aroused
because Of the denunciation Of the
proposed amendment by President
Taft, who has characterized it as q
violation of the spirit of the If
teenth amendment" and because Of
the declaration by republican leaders
in the State that the supreme court
of the United States will be asked
to pass upon its validity should It be
adopted at the election next Novem-
Der. The supreme court has never
passed upon so-called grandfather
clauses which is embodied in the
am endment, and which has had the
effect of disfranchising negroes in
several Of the Southern States.
Addresses in favor of the adoption
of the amendment were delivered by
Governor A. L. Crothers and United
States Senator Isador Raynor.

SENSATIONAL CASE IN SALUDA.
Young Man Attempting to Have His
Marriage Annulled.

Doubtless one of the most sensa-
tional cases ever threshed out in Sa-
luda court house was up before ref
cree court Tuesday and Wednesday.
It is case involving two of the most
prominent families in the county.
In October of last year Mr.. Julian
Werts was married to Miss Fay Trot-
ter. They lived together as man and
wife until the first of February this
year, when they separated. Mr..
Werts is endeavoring to have the
marriage annulled and Mrs. Foy
Trotter Werts is fighting the an
nulment proceedings.
Mr.. Werts is very intelligent,
hard working young man, and the de-
fendant one of the prettiest women
in the county.
There is much interest in the pro-
ceedings, and morbid curiosity ex-
hibited.
We see absolutely no good to be
gained by either side, and the naked
truths necessarily divulged are not
calculated to do anybody any good
Saluda Standard.

Fleet Ends Fall Practice.

Norfolk, Va, Sept. 19.-The At,

o'clock will weigh anchor and follow
the flagship Connecticut out of the
Virginia Capes and steam to New

night drills, battle and target prac-
tice. The Mexican gunboat Morelos,

dent Diaz on board, will sail early

The fleet will arrive at New York

Wasting Forestry Resources.

Washington, Sept. ia start
ling situation has developed as the
result Of taking of stock of the for
estry resources of this country, ac-
cording to Treadwell Cleveland, Jr.,
expert in the bureau of forestry.
1t was shown, Mr.. Cleveland de-
clares, that the country is taking
from the forests every year three
and half times as much wood as is
added by the new growth; that less
than one-third of the growing tree
felled by the lumberman is ever used
at all, so that two-thirds of all the
timber cut is simply destroyed. 1t
has shown that one-eleventh of all
the forests is swept by fires every
year, and that on the average since
1870 forest fires have yearly cost
100000 in timber and so lives.
1t has shown, Mr.. Cleveland con-
tinues, that over 80 per cent. Of the
forests in private hands-which COM
prise three-fourths of all the forest
land and four-fifth of all the wood
is devastated by destructive use and
the sweep of the unchecked fires,
while less than l per cent. is properly
handled for successive crops or effec-
lively protected from fires.

SAFETY ON RAILROADS.
Splendid Casualty Record of the
United Kingdom.

During the year 1908 not one pass
enger was killed or injured on Brit
ish railroads. In England, Scotland,
Wales and Ireland travel has become
so safe that an accident of any kind
is startlingly unusual, says The Cleve-
land Plain Dealer. The remarkable
record of a year without the slight
est injury to any passenger Is Ger
tainly one Of which the British rail-
readers may feel justly proud.
After contemplation of such re-
port the natural inclination is to
make an unfavorable comparison of
the United States Of America. The
current year has not been marked by
by many disastrous wrecks, but the
two or threee years preceding were
periods Of destruction not equaled
in the history Of American railroad
ing. In 1908 official reports show
that 610 passengers were killed. The
death list, including passengers and
all others, totaled over 1000, while
the total of injured was over III 900.
OF coure, the vastly greater mile
age Of American railway is in large
regree accountable for the tremen-
dous difference between the British
and American figures, but even this
does not suffice to explain everything.
America has gone speed mad, and the
railroads are affected and afflicted.

Heavy Damage at Biloxi.

Biloxi, Miss, Sept. 2O.-The storm
which has been raging in the Gulf of
Mexico struck this city at 8 o'clock
this morning with the wind blowing
40 miles an hour, continuing to in
crease in velocity till it reached go
miles an hour at o'clock this after
noon. The high tide and the wind
have wrought immense damage to
property In this immediate vicinity.
Between Beauvoir and Debuys, 500
feet of the track of the Gulf Coast
Traction company is washed away
and another 100 feet is gone near the
soldiers home and to the eastward
of Gulfport another $50 feet was
washed away. All the bath houses
and piers along the beach from Gulf
port to the home of United States
Senator Money, a distance of four
miles, have been swept away. Three
hundred feet of the electric car line
at Long Beach, Miss, has been
washed out.
The schooner Ruby and a wharf
recently built by w. w. Lampton
were wrecked.

The Civic League.
A meeting of the executive CT

A meeting of the executive COM
mittee of the Civic League was held
at the residence of Mrs. w. P. Jones
last Tuesday afternoon.
frey speeches condemnig the
Weed-grown streets and private lots,
eloquent appeals for public officials
to enforce the laws, and plans for the
fall work were made. There is in
deed room for these denunciations.
1t is truly discouraging to walk down
Main street and view the handsome
stores with their lovely display Of fall
goods in the show windows and then
turn and see the piles of paper and
other debris in the streets in front Of
these buildings. Just to watch the
crowd of men as they come after
each train from the post Office gives
one an insight into the true nature
of each man. Some carefully remove
the wrapper from their reading mat
ter and deposit the same in the waste
basket ere leaving the Office, or wait
until their places of business are
reached and then burn the waste pa
per; while others, careless and in
different, open letters casting the en-
velopes into the street, add their
circulars. not knowing or caring
whittier they will be blown. When
a heavy gust of wind from the South
rises, most of these papers are car
ried and left upon the court house
square, a place which, it seems, that
every man would join forces with the
ladies and help to keep clean and
beautiful. 1t is the spot upon which
the strangers eye rests longest
when passing through by rail, or
driving through the town, and a
building used for various purposes,
when crowds take note of the sur
roundings. But the ladies are not
discouraged and hope soon to awaken
the civic pride in every resident of
Bamberg. Let those who knock the
place on all occasions and refuse to
be aroused for it's advancement, move
elsewhere. Doubtless they can find
a place to suit them better, and Bam-
berg wants only loyal citizens.
In the near future it is probable
that Tour of the World will be
held by the members of the League.
This will be fully discussed at the
next meeting, which will be held this
Thursday afternoon at half-past
four o'clock in the city hall. Let
every member feel this a personal
invitation for herself bring at
least one new member.

Girl Returns Home.

Washington, Sept. 21.-A pathetic
scene marked the meeting at police
headquarters here yesterday of Miss
Carolyn NJ. Salley, nineteen years Of
age, and her father, DR.. o. B. Salley,
of Augusta, when the latter arrived
here for the purpose of taking his
daughter home.
Miss Salley was arrested yesterday
at the union station by Detectives Cox
and Berman, on charge Of being a
fugitive from her parents home. One
hour later the two detectives also
took Miss Mary Bean into custody.
Miss Salley told Capt. Boardman,
chief of detectives, that she was ac-
companying Miss Bean to Boston to
complete her education. The father
was informed Of the detention of the
couple here and arrived in Washing
ton yesterday. Accompanied by his
daughter he returned yesterday after
noon. Miss Bean was allowed to de-
part and left police headquarters for
her hotel.
DR.. Salley says Miss Bean was a
teacher at the college which his
daughter attended, and became a
close friend. Later she visited Miss
Salley at her home. The father
stated that owing to the manner of
the teacher toward his daughter, his
wife had ordered her to leave the
house.
Upon seeing her father Miss Salley
embraced him affectionately and de-
clared she wanted to return to her
home. Miss Bean also called at po-
lice headquarters AMI DR.. Salley de-
clares she asked permission to CORE
spond with his daughter, which he re-
fused. 'If that woman ever puts her
foot on Georgia soil," the doctor de-
clared, 81 will have her arrested for
abduction"
