Keep the Record Straight.

The writer of the following
article, which appeared in the
Charleston News and Courier on
Thursday, March 4, is either
sadly misinforEed or has a very
poor memory:
"WILLIAMsBuRG.A WET COUNTY"
Kingstree, March Especial:
The people of Williamsburg county
generally are heartily tired of the
annual shaking up of the dispen-
sary law. Two years ago they voted
on the question, whether Williams
burg county would or would not
retain the dispeusary, and they an-
swered that question significantly
and positively by retaining the dis.
peusary in its present form. They
are we'll satisfied with the sys-
tenn as it stands today, and regret
that they must again vote on ques.
tiop which they have so recently de.
cided BY the ballot. Sober, thinking
men see no reason to believe that
there has been a change of senti'
ment since the last vote on the ques-
ton. Many good men who are at
heart and in principle prohibition.
lists, will vote to retain the dispen-
sary because they do lot wish to see
a blind tiger at every crossroads and
hamlet, and this will inevitably be
The result of prohibition i'll this
county.
Let us keep the record
straight. The last and only elec-
ton ever held In Williamsburg
on the question Of "Disrensary"
or "No DispensarY" took place on
November q, 1905. One thous-
and thirty-fve votes were polled
and on the face of the returns
the mo Dispenssry'' side won
out By AL majority. The county
board of canvassers so dec Ia r ed
the result and an appeal was
made to the State board of can
yassers on the ground of irregu-
larities in holding the election.
The State board of canTassers
reversed the finding of the coun-
ty board and the election was
declared null and void. The
main point on which the election
was upset was based on the fact
that two ballot boxes were used in
holding the election, thus, it was
alleged, destroying the secrecy of
the ballot.

KELLOGG Wants cIapp,s Toaa.

Minneapolis, Mimi, June 21.-Frank
B. Kellogg, of st. Paul, mas started
his campaign for the United States
senate No announcement is made,
but he has written letters to several
members of the state senate. Mr..
KelIogg's letters have all been marked
private and none Of the recipients
made his text public. 1t has been un-
derstood for some time that Kellogg
intended to be a candidate against
Moses E. Clapp, but he has never be-
fore admitted such a purpose. The
letters recently sent out do not say in
so many words that he will be a cam
didate, but they carry the conviction
that he will be- His correspondents
are asked to consider the question and
to give their help at the proper time
if Mr.. Kellogg is in the field.
The letters contain review of his
services in the government prosecu-
tion of the Hartman merger and
Standard Oil Co., and state that he
intends to devote himself to the cause
Of the people. The senatorship will
be decided by the legislature elected in
1910, but It is likely an effort will be
made to get an Endorsement by the
state convention for one OF the can
didates.

WANT LICENSES FOR SAME GIRL.
Two Little Falls Men Spring Surprise
Upon the Clerk Of Court.

Little Falls, Mimi, June 21-Clerk
of Court s. p. Brick was placed in a
strange position the other day when
two different men came into~ his Office
and asked for license to wed the
same girl.
One of the men wanted to purchase
a two year" license. He said that he
had been told he could secure such
thing for $1.25, while life license
would cost him 1926. When Clerk Brick
assured MIN he had been misinformed,
the young man said he did not feel
that he could afford to pay SO much,
and said he would go back and talk
the matter over with his future wife.
He had hardly left when two other
men stepped in and one OF them hur-
ried to the wicket and asked for
license to wed the same girl Clerk
Brick was In a dilemma and after a
moments hurried consultation with
his assistant, told the second visitor
thar he would have to wait until the
next day for his license. closed shop
and went home. Neither OF the young
men have been heard Of since.

FRISKED OF $50
in UPTOWN HOTEL
GUEST AT RED RIVER HOUSE
LANDS TRAVELLING MAN WITH
FAT. ROLL IN POPULAR HOTEL
POLICE BREAK UP RoW-6oTH
PINcHED.

After raising all kinds Of disturb
ance in a popular hotel this morning
at $3.50, where they we're found by
officer Gilbert Martinson, Frank Mil
Ter, and partly colored woman, Civ
ing her name as Miss McNeill, faced
each other In the police court this
morning, pitted against one another
IN what may develop into something
of case.
1t appears that Miller, a travelling
man who yesterday had roll of $3.50
became acquainted with Miss McNeill,
who has held her abode at the Red
River house. a colored hotel in the
hollow, and she was taken to his room
in the uptown hotel. Miller stated
this morning that he calculated that
he put his wad safely away but about
8 o'clock he was awakened when his
affinity was about to leave He look
ed for his money and $50 was gone.
He accused her and he claims that
the money, with ticket belonging to
him, were found in her stocking.
So far as the city is concerned the
charge Of resorting to rooms for inn
moral purposes is all that will be
lodged against the pair. Both admit
to this. Miller wants his money back
and the woman, who is light enough to
be taken for a white woman, persists
it belongs to her. The cases were ad-
journed to o'clock this afternoon
when further investigation will be
made.

BELIEVES CLARK
KILLED TWO MORE
coLoRED MAN IS ARRESTED AT
DENIsoN, IA, FOR NUMBERING
TWO BRAkEMEN - POSSIBLE
MAN WHO TOOK BELLS LIFE
HAS BEEN CAUGHT.

Is Henry Clark, the ooaored. man ar
rested at Denison, Ia, this morning,
Cor numbering two brakeman on the
North Western railway, the same per-
con who took the life of Edward Bell
enc week ago? This is the question
asked by Chief Gabe Grant this morn
iaS when he learned of the ARRAY in
Iowa.
The fact that Clark's home is near
Omaha lends some strength TO the
theory that the colored man is in ths
wholesale slaughter business. Iowa
officials will be communicated with
and if the Clark held down there has
the conspicuous scar on the left cheek,
it is more than likely that he will be
brought back here.
According to te1egraphio dispatches
to The Forum this afternoon. ~ In be-
lieved that Clark. with his pal. Ches-
ley Hubbard, have made a confession,
although this is not established With
plenty of witnesses here to convice
him Of the murder of4Bsn. Il is likely
that this offense viii be given prefer
ence, unless q confession 10 secured IN
