Old ST. James in Charleston, S. C.V
Adorned With Gift of British
Sovereign.

Charleston, S. C.-Perhaps the only
church building in America adorned
with the English coat of arms, the gift
direct of the English sovereign, is
Old Saint James, Goose Creek 16
miles from Charleston. Outside Of
Virginia it is one of the Oldest church
edifices in the south.
1t was built in 1903, and is still in
use for divine services. as it is in a
fine state Of preservation. The pulpit
is of the quaint old hour-glass style
with heavy sounding board. Above it
is the royal coat of arms, of England,
in colors as clear as If painted but

the colonists in 1904. Within its walls

REFERENDUM AT STAKE.
Great Legal Battle Over Progressive
Methods Of LeaslatIon.

Washington.-The critical manner
in which the Supreme Court of the
United States listened to arguments
that the initiative and referendum
method of legislation in this country
was unconstitutional indicated the i'm.
portance which the justices attached
to the presentation of the two cases.
One involves the constitutionality of
a tax imposed on the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company of
Oregon. The other concerns the valid.
ity of bond issue for the construc-
ton Of bridge costing s2,000,000 in
Portland, Ore. Both hinge on the con.
stitutionality of the initiative and
referendum method OF legislation
adopted in Oregon by constitutional
amendment.
In these cases the Progressives are
fighting their first great legal battle.

dressmakers II means bunch OF

All other questions are cast into the

forgiven; but to get married In only
