POSSIBLE STATE CAMPAIGN CANDIDATES
Several Bright Lights among the SolonS
Willinq 10 Take a State House Job.

I The woods arc full of expectant
candidates for State offices just
nov, all beamingly optimistic as to
their chances for elechon-or rather
their friends hopes on their behalf
for almost every. aspirant for office
seoms to be coyly resisting the i'm
peliing ting of ambitious ''frlends"
who have a soulful, yearniug inten.
sity of purpose to "briDg him OUT
for a political job. If only these
friends, so numerous and so urgent
in overcoming the hesitancy of the
deprecatory, self-abnegatory and sac
rificial statesman thus offering him
self on the altar of patriotism would
matsrialize on election day! But,
alas, too oft is the most strenuously
urged aspirant for political honors
left hapless and forsaken BY recreant
friends and evanescent supporters"
ere the merciful shades of evening
fall, covering his inglorious defeat
when the battle of ballots is fought.
The Columbia correspondent of
the News & Courier thus sizes up
: the political pot at the close of the
Legislative session:
There has been a considerable
amount of political undereurrent
and prospecting around as to candi-
dates for offices.
Capt John G Richards, present
member of the Honse and for years
a leader on the floor, is an announc-
ed candidate for Governor.
: Lieutenant Governor Mcleod,
who has been Lieutenant Governor
for nearly four years and is strong
Pee Dee man, is an announced can
didate for Governor.
Mr. W w Dixon of Fairfield is an
announced candidate for railroad
commissioner. Mr. o G Scarbor-
ough, of the Clarendon delegation,
is an announced candidate for rail
road commissioner.
Senator T Rogers is gong to
run for Congress.
Senator ] R Earle of Oconee ex-
poets to join the Congressional party
in Washington.
Speaker Whaley is being urged to
sun for State Office. He does not
xpect to stand for reelection as
lember of the House, and this has
irought about the suggestion that
rNr E Marion Rucker will probably
joe urged by his friends to be can
ididate for Speaker. Mr. Rucker
has been in the House for many
wears, and is now chairman of the
ways and means committee.
There is talk of Mr. NJ l. Smith
being in the race for Attorney Gen
eral. In case Mr. Smith should en-
ter the field for Attorney General
against Mr. Lyon, this would be one
Of the very prettiest races that will
be witnessed next summer.

SON OF COUNTESS IS
RACING WITH DEATH
Count WaChtmeister Hurrying
Here from Europe to Be
with III Mother

There was a slight Improvement in
the condition of Countess Constance
Wachtmeister yesterday, but her ply
sicians do not expect that she will re-
cover. The countess is at the home of
Prof. and Mrs. Watts, 577 North Boyl-
ston street. Her son, Count Axel Raoul
Wachtmeister, is hurrying to the
United States in the hope that he may
reach Los Angeles before his mother
dies. He expects to reach New York
tomorrow.

author and lecturer. One of her books,
"reminiscences of H. p. Blavatsky," +"
had an enormous sale both in the United
States and Europe. She is the author
of a number of smaller books and
pamphlets in connection with the
Theosophical society. She was close
friend of Madame Blavatsky.
The illness which seems likely to
cause the death of the noted woman
began three weeks ago, soon after she
went to the Hotel Hollywood with the
intention of passing the winter. there
She had just finished round of visits
to the homes of well known families
where she was an honored guest. She
came to California in July with her
son, and he went to Europe after a
short stay in Southern California.

TO MEET COST OF LIVING,
MUSICIANS RAISE RATES
Gotham Players Increase SChed-
uIe of Prices

NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-It will hence
forth cost more to pay the piper in
New York. The Musical Protective
union, a trades organization of the pro-
fessionaI players of various instru-
ments, has just issued a new schedule
of minimum rates, with advances all
along the line. The increase has beer
made necessary, the officers say, owing
to increased cost of living.
The Symphony orchestra will feel the
new tariff most severely. The former
price man for symphony concerts was
about SIS a concert and 81 for each re-
hearsal. The new schedule raises this
to $S and 81.
The new rates for evening receptions,
cotillions, ETC., are about 81 a man
above those heretofore charged.
Another interesting increase has been
in the case OF musicians who play for
the various phonograph companies. The
increase here has been about 81 an
hour. The average pay of musicians
employed regularly by these companies
is said to be about $50 week.
The union has membership of 5000.

OFFICERS BELIEVE MEN
BURIED G0LD IN LUZON
Army Authorities Suspect Two
PrivateS Are Awaiting Chance
to Secure Treasure

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 22.-That a
tale of buried treasure in the Phil
ippines induced Private F. w. Brooks
of the United States hospital corps
to liberate William Spillman, the
negro trooper under life sentence for
the killing Of a fellow soldier, and
that both men are in hiding some
where about the city awaiting chance
to make their way to the islands and
dig up the gold, is the theory now
advanced to explain the disappear
ance yesterday of the prisoner-patient
and his guard from the general hos
pital at the Preside.
It is said by soldiers who knew
Spillman before he was brought back
from the islands to answer for his
crime committed there, that he boasted
of knowing the whereabouts of treas
ure in plate and money buried by
Spanish family during the Philippine
insurrection, prior to American occu-
patton of the islands. Spillman was a
member of Troop B. Tenth cavalry
when stationed at Camp Wallace, La
Union province, Philippines.
It is stated the quarrel which led
to the killing of his fellow trooper at
the camp arose over the treasure,
which they were planning to recover.
Brooks and Spillman knew eacn oLheF
in the islands, and when the negro
was sent home for examination as to
his sanity, Brooks came on the same
transport. 1t is supposed the negro
revealed to him the story of the treas
ure and lured him with promises OF
sharing the spoils into opening the
way to liberty when chance made him
Spillman's custodian at the hospital.
According to the report Of the treas
ure accredited to Spillman, 1t was dug
up by several Chinese after the Span
ish family had hidden it and con-
veyed into the interior, where it was
again buried It is the location Of this
spot which Spillman claimed to know.

WARNING FROM ADMIRAL
CHECKS SALOON PROJECT
Vallejo Trustees Set Aside 0rdi-
nance for More Licenses

VALLEJO. Sept. 22.-The city trus-
tees tabled an ordinance last night
which would have increased the num-
ber of liquor licenses in this city from
fifty to fifty-lve.
The chief factor in the defeat of
the ordinance, which had been passed
to print two weeks ago, was a letter
from Rear Admiral Osterhaus, COM
mandant of the Mare Island navy yard,
calling the attention of the mayor to
the correspondence which passed be-
tween the city officials and the secre-
tary of the navy four years ago, when
the latter threatened the virtual sus-
pension of work at the yard If the
number of saloons was not reduced.
Admiral Osterhaus stated that he
had no disposition to interfere with
the municipal affairs of Vallejo, but
he must protect the enlisted men COM
ing here and would feel it to be his
duty to recommend to the navy de-
partment that the number of ships
sent to Mare Island be reduced to
the minimum If the additional liquor
licenses were granted.

The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1910-05-23

creditors were perfectly satisfied with system of ''paid on account" instead of "paid in full" why should he be the only to object?
 His wife developed amazingly those first few weeks The home began to move with we'll oiled whee1s-the table was attractive, and guests were numerous. Alma looked as young and pretty as in those far-off days when he had courted her. An inner excitement kept her cheeks flushed and her eyes bright. Her gaiety and courage were infectious, and his hours at home grew longer. They began to live over their honeymoon days.
 Something that the years had buried began to stir again, sympathy for the hopes of the woman he had married. She did not try to paint, he guessed she could not but he did not dream of representing her when few good pictures found their way to tn. walls, though he knew that she must be drawing on their small savings account It was as well spent that way, now, as any.
 The month of November fairly galloped to- ward it's close. As the days passed the hus- band and wife began to avoid each others eyes, like fellow-conspirators Almas tenderness and indulgence surrounded her children. She could not leave them a minute.
 What bully dinnerE exclaimed Roger, junior It was the evening of the thirtieth. ''We have everything we like best" Mrs. Will der's eyes were on her plate. "Crab bisque soup that's fathers; turkey for me; oyster pattes for Alma, and ice-cream for the twins !! Oh, why, what's wrong with mother? For Mrs. Wilder had fled from the room.
 few minutes later the Professor found her in her room. She was looking out of the window, over beyond the hills. Her hands were dry and hot. He took her gently in his arms "The strain has been too hard on you, dear"
 When she raised her eyes from his coat sleeve, they were brave again, and bright.
