TODAY IN HISTORY.
Birthday of the Swamp Fox" -December %.

To-day is the birthday OF the swamp
Fox" as Francis Marion was nicknamed
Marion. who was one of the most inter-
esting characters in American history at
the close of the eighteenth century. 1t
was on December q, 17s2. that this abb
lstemious, God-fearing man was born in
Georgetown, S. c. He won recognition
in the fact that he was a daring and as
tonishingly swift and an equally crafty
military leader. He succeeded in exeit-
ing the rage of the British as no other
Of the American commanders could do.
In utter disgust the British cavalry lead
er. after a long and fruitless chase Of
Marion. called the American general "a
swamp fox" whom the devil himself
could not catch
Bryant. in one of his best known poems,
has described the character of the opera
tons that Marion conducted against the
British. In The ''Song of Marions Men, >"
il is related how "the British soldiers
trembled when Maron's name was told. 4"
There also are described the retreats
in the forest that sheltered Marions
troops, the life among those sylvan fast
nesses and the terror that was inspired
in the British by the fierce and sudden
raids of Marion's glittering band.
Marions life was an adventurous one
from his early youth. when he went
to sea and was shipwrecked AS a
child he was puny and sickly, and al
though he became strong and active he
was always short and slight. Long be-
fore the Revolution began he had had
an extended military experience, serving
in the South Carolina State troops against
the Indians.
At the outbreak of the Revolution
Marion received a captains commission,
was made a major and then a lieutenant
colonel. Toward the end OF 1779 ne took
part in the disastrous expedition of the
American Gen. Lincoln and the French
Admiral d Estalng against Savannah. 1t
was in 1880 that Marion began that ca
reer in which he exhibited his peculiar
talents as a partisan warrior. Organizing
ia South Carolina the force thenceforth
known as ''Marion's brigade" he was
commissioned brigadier general and be-
gan his memorable operations against the
British
This brigade was equipped and armed

Senator TaliaferrO Is Not a Candi-
date for Recollection.
The voters of Florida are in the midst
of another interesting primary contest
for the selection of United States Sena-
tor. On the 10th of January they VIII
vote for a successor to Senator Taiia-
ferro. whose term expires March 3. This
will be the fifth primary contest for the
selection of United States Senator with
in two years. which is probably a record
among the States.
At that the limit has not been reached,
for it is certain that there will be no
selection at the coming primary. The
Florida primary law requires that the
successful candidate secure a majority
of the votes cast. 1t is practically certain
that neither of the three candidates in
the race can secure a majority of the
votes at the primary to be held on the
10th. and so arrangements have already
been made for a second primary on the
slst of January. The two candidates re-
ceiving the largest number of votes at
the first primary will constitute the held

Information was obtained yesterday in
a reliable quarter TO the effect THAI a
fight is about TO be begun between the
two Republican factions in Minnesota for
the control of the delegation that the
party of that state wiz send TO the Re
publican national convention in 1872 1t
viii be Waged between the old line Re-
publicans, who favor the denomination
OF William II. Taft as the Republican
Presidential candidate. and the progress
siVe forces, which are favorable to the
nomination OF either Senator A. b. Cum
Minis. of Iowa; Senator Robert NJ. la
Toilette. or some other Republican OF a
radical type.
Advices from Minnesota are that the
opening gun in this battle viii be the
announcement of the candidacy of a con-
sentative Republican for the place now
held in the Senate by Moses L. Clapp.
For two years Senator Clapp has iden-
tined himself with the insurgent band in
the Senate. He voted against the Payne
Aldrich tarifr bill. opposed the admins
tratiOn bills at the last session OF Con-
gress. and generally has assumed an at
titnde of hostility to the Taft admins
tratiOn- Senator Clapp is not on friendly
terms with the administration, and only
rarely docs no visit the White House.
Hostility Is Aroused.
Senator Clapp's antagonism to the ad-
ministration has irritated a great many
Republicans in Minnesota. and his align
ment with Senator La Toilette has stirred
up feeling of hostility in the State that
may result in his undoing.
Il became known here a day or so
ago that Gov Eberhart, of Minnesota,
during a brief stay in Washington, init
mated TO certain friends that he conteyn-
Mated announcing his candidacy for the
mate. This news stirred Up quite a
The Washington herald., 1910-12-23

sensation among Minnesota politicians.
Mr.. Eberhart succeeded John A John
son in the Office of governor. At the time
of the succession he was lieutenant gov
ernor. He was nominated for the gov
ernorship this year, and won out by
handsome majority.
If Gov. Eberhart adheres 20 his deter
mination to run for the Senate, the pre-
diction is made that 1t will result in
free-for-all night. with the probability
that Senator CIapp will retire to private
life on March 3, 1911. when his present
term expires.
During his visit here Gov. Eberhart
had a long conference with President
Taft. II was the day after Gov Eber-
hart called at the White House that the
news leaked out that Mr.. Eberhart came
here TO confer with certain persons as
to the advisability of his entering the
race for the Senate. Gov. Eberhart is on
friendly terms with President Taft and
has on a number of occasions publicly
Endorsed the administration.
Opposed to Senator Clapp.
While the administration would not in
terfere If a Senatorial fight were precipi-
tated in Minnesota it is known that the
moral support of the Presidents advisers
would be given TO some candidate other
than Mr.. Clapp. Among those who have
been mentioned as candidates, in addition
to Gov. Eberhart, are Representative
James \. Tawney, one of the House
leaders, and Frank 3. Kellogg, who pros
ecuted the Standard Oil Company for
the government Either of these men
would be more acceptable to the admin
istration that Senator clapp.
The BLACK Eagle of Fergus Falls" as
Senator Clapp is known in Minnesota,

some of his political feathers would be
plucked unless he got on the job with

Politicians in Washington are watch

interest. There is more than the Sena-
torship at stake. If Mr.. Ciapp is de-
feated it will be accepted as a victory

 STOLE PoNiES-Three Indians named Tad Ennis, William Tempe and McGill are badly wanted over in Mesa for the theft of some Indian ponies and two new saddles.

One of the ponies is a black with white streak on his face. Another Is a buckskin.
 FINE ORE - In the window of Moore & Tannehill, on Adams street, may be seen about the finest specimen of copper ore anyone would care to inspect It is glance ore from the .Slocum mine, twenty-two miles north of Phoenix There is a chunk of 1t about half the size of a mans head. and alongside of it are four little cop per bars melted from the ore broken off the same chunk. The certificate of Assayer Porterie lies beneath the display, certifying that the four bars, which weigh two pounds, less one ounce, came from four pounds and fourteen ounces of ore. And J. G. Hardin, who is concerned in the ex- ploitation of the property. says the best of it is that there is q whole lot more just like it, and big pile of it on the dump.
