Another Sumter county farm has
been sold to a progressive South Caro-,

county next winter and become a per-
manent resident and factor in its fu-
ture upbuilding.
Mr. Frank JoyneT, Of Olar, S. c., Is
the buyer in this instance, and the farm
known as "Moonshine", out on the
Myrtle Springs road, is the property
that has been bought.
There are 435 acres in the farm and
the price paid was $500 spot cash.
The transaction was consummated
through the real estate agency OF A.

having recently been instrumental Isl

This farm was at one time greatly
fancied by its owner, Col Crawford

Mr. Williamson retains possession
of it for the remainder Of the present

The SPEAKER and

Others Before Champ Clark
Have ASpiFGd to 1t
Washington Post.)

The Champ Clark boom is no longer
receptive, but active and his friends
are congratulating themselves upon
the fact that last weeks democratic
caucus relieved him of the responsible
ity incident to the appointment CT the
house committees, a rock on whiaa
the James G. Blaine craft was spit
in 1876. There is positive advantage
in the situation thus made for the
statesman from Pike, and if he shall
succeeding in beating Mr.. Folk al
home there is nothing more sure than
that Mr.. Clark will have to be reck-
oned with in 1912.
One Of the speakers (Mr. Polk be-
came president, but not until he had
been six years retired from the house.
Henry Clay was five times speaker and
three times q candidate for president
t osay nothing of the two times lie
sought the nomination in vain. John
Bell was speaker Of the Twenty-thirG
Congress, and in 1850 received 80 votes
for president in the electoral college.
Besides Mr.. Blaine, Speakers Samuel
J. Randall, John G. Carlisle and Tho5.
B. Reed, were all avowed candidates
for president, and all received votes
in nominating conventions. In 1884
Mr. Blaine was actually nominated, but
he had left the speakers chair nine
years earlier
So it will be seen that it is not an
act of presumption for a speaker IF
the house to offer as a candidate
for chief magistrate of the republic.
The lion in Mr.. Clark's path, or rather
the gauntlet he must run, is the legis-
lation of the Sixty-second Congress,
IF the house should formulate and
pass measures the country approves
and demands, the speaker will be
greatly strengthened. On the other
hand, if the house should fail to meet
public expectation and thus forfeit
public confidence, the Clark boom win
fade and vanish, for the speaker,
whether he appoints the committees or
not, will be held responsible for all
the sins of the house, both those of
commission and those of omission.

QUEEN MARY The REAL
MOVER IN LIBEL SUIT
REGARDS RuInOF as Reflection
on Her and Her Children

London, Feb. Queen Mary is
chiefly responsible for the prosecution
Of Edward F. AIylius, 81 the Paris
Liberator on the charge of seditious
libel in reviying the story that King
George married morganatically an Adj
miraIs daughter while he was Duke Of
York and serving in the British navy.
She considers that the persistence Of
this oft-repeated, oft-denied rumor re
fleets upon herself and her children.
King George is said to have express
ed willingness to go on the witness
stand next Wednesday, though the
Constitution does not permit him to be
summoned-whent the trial of Mylius is
to begin, and deny the report under
oath.
The Attorney-GeneraI has advised
against the Kings going on the stand
on the ground that it would set bad
precedent, especially in a case in
which he claims that not a jot of evil
dence is forthcoming to support Myl-
LUIS narrative
Varying versions of the story have
credited the present king with marry
ing three daughters of three different
Admirals-Admiral Culme Seymour
and the late Admirals Elliott and
Tryon.
The Liberator, an obscure paper,
names Miss Seymour as York's bride,
and the defense entered amounts to a
plea of justification.
The daughters of all the Admirals
named are fully accounted for, all be-
ing happily married. So Mylius's plea
is not regarded seriously. The mar
rage registers of every place the Duke
Of York visited during his naval ser
vice have been examined without find
ing any trace of such a ceremony as is
reported, and the whole story has been
denied in unqualified terms from time
to time by both King George and his
late father, King Edward, as well as
by the various Admirals whose daugh-
ters rumors have had York marry
clandestinely.

BROWN BEAR A MENACE

Pat Murphy was an arrival this week in Chitina- from his mining property. He reports shooting a brown bear just as the animal was crawling in the window of his cab n and no amount of shooting would scare it away either. And our all- wise law makers at Washington say ve can't kill but three of these vic- ous man-killing animals in one year.
 The game laws which hang con-
 public places, say we can shoot brown
 bear at any time but only three are
 to be killed by any one man in one season. A magazine article in the Alaska Yukon magazine tells us that Congressman Humphreys of Washington, (who by the way is
 big game hunter) had much to do with framing Alaskas game laws. We do not wish the congressman from Washington any harm, but we'd like to see him and a few other leg islators. who helped frame these fool game laws be forced to mush about these parts for few days without gun, like many prospectors do, and should they run across a brown bear it's hundred to one shot that while they are up tree, about the first thing they'd swear to do would be to use their influence in repeating that fool law If these beasts are protected, some poor devil will have to pay for it with his life, no doubt, each year. The law should read:
 Kill brown bear at any time and
 no limit Should an Alaskan game
 warden arrest a man for killing
 more than three brown bear, it
 is doubtful if jury could begotten
 in all Alaska to convict him, par
 ticularly if they were Alaskans and were familiar with the habits of this carnivorous monster.

LET US MINE

BOASTS PINCHOT AND TEDDY

Falcon Joslyn, president of the Tanana Valley Railway company, who passed through Chitina last fall enroute to Washington, has been a busy man in the interest of Alaska since arriving at the nation al capitol. He has closely followed the reports on the coal investigation and being the chief speaker in some of the reports going to Secretary of Interior Walter Fisher, one of which was recently presented in person by Andrew Christensen, chief of the field division of Seattle, MT. Joslyn denounced Clifford Pinchot for us- ing the government money to buy magazine articles telling the people what an honest and great man he was. and he was not indicted either while honest men entitled to Alas kan lands were under indictment
 Raking Roosevelt he said:
 We had president who had little knowledge and no respect for the sacredness of the constitution of the United States. Pinchot went straight to Theodore the First, and the Presi dent of the United States wrote the order abrogating the act of 1904. The courage to do such an act.

WHO'S TO BLAME

We must ever bear in mind that there are always two sides to a board. In recent issue of the Lead er we complained of the Cordova people paying but little attention to orders from uup the line, and ac- cused them of never going near the post office until boat had arrived. While in few instances we find this to be true, we also learn that big majority of firms which do business with Chitina people are prompt in their deliveries of orders and that in many cases the Chitina people them that their orders do not reach Cor dOva in time to be sent out on the following train, as no freight is bill- ed out from Cordova after five o. clock in the afternoon previous to the morning train schedule for Chit ina. So if you expect an order to be filled by the following train, it viii have to be phoned down in time for the Cordova merchants to get it to the depot before five o'clock p. m. Don't forget this and blame only yourselves if the train does not bring back your order.
