burdens of privaton and unaccustom-

bronze group, typical of the highest

was destined not to have The funds
for its erection were provided by an

legislature and by popular sub
scription among the men of the
state.
The initial steps in this movement
which has resulted in unique me-
mortal to the South Carolina women
were definitely outlined when Capt.
John G. Richards Jr son of n Con-
federate veteran, introduced in the
house Of representatives bill to
approviate $500 for monument,
provided an equal sum was raised
by subscription among the men of
the state. The bill passed the senate
February 25, 1909 1t was at once
approved by Governor Ansel, who ap-
pointed a committee to take charge
OF arrangements for securing the me-
mortal when the money should have
been raised. The members of the
commission are: Gen. c. Irvine

The Maryland Presidential primary

has induced sudden squirt in activities
by the Taft people. who formerly
evinced the utmost confidence In con-
trolling the entire State.
The weak spot in the Taft armor in
Maryland Is the colored Republican
vote. Almost to a man, the colored
Republicans are for Roosevelt. The
same has been, found true in Ohio and
pennsylvania, and II Is proving an
important factor in those States: but

1t is fact that the progress already

Dreven members of the first party
from voting for the nominee, even
though he he of another party, under

Mr.. Warren was the nominee Of the

number of votes on the democratic
ticket and therefore was the nominee
of the democrats. Mr.. Warren insist
ed that the county auditor should
place his name in both columns. This

that the law would not permit of his
doing so. Mr.. Warren has applied

dead, she may re-marry without the
formaltty of a.divorce. His contention
is that five years had not elapsed be-
tween h time she deserted Reynolds
and married Wright. to whom her mar
rlage was in fact illegal, but that her
marriage to Guy Bolton, over a year
later, was valid for the reason that the
i've years statutory time had passed
since the marriage to Reynolds.
Mr.. LANCER has appealed from the
decision of the probate Judge to the
district court, and as the issue has
never been tested the case will be
watched with interest. In the al
time IL this new principle is not es-
tablished it looks rs though Mrs. Boil
ton might be up against a bigamy
charge, and unpleasant developments
may result.
The estate of Guy Bolton is quite
large, consisting of life insurance,
horses and other personal property in
addition to some real estate. From all
appearances the settling of the estate
will mean a long drawn out battle
through the courts.

M'LAREN FAILED
TO GET FREEDOM

Minot, N. d. Oct. 21.-Contending
that the state had not introduced any
evidence to prove that the weapon
with which he vas charged with as
saulting frankie Worthington, a me-
no girl, was dangerous and that the
committing magistrate had no right,
therefore, to hold him for trial in the
district court, Gus McLaren, a rather
notorious colored character, ATTEMPTED
to gain his liberty through habeas cor
pus proceedings brought by Atty. G. D..
KelSo.
Arguments were made before Judge
K. e. Leighton in district court cham
bers. Mr.. Kelso put up a strenuous
fight to secure his clients release and
was strongly opposed by States At
torney Coyle. Mr.. Coyle argued that
it was not necessary for the state to
introduce all of it's evidence at the
rreliminary hearing. He claimed that
the testimony taken at the hearing
showed hat McLaren had committed
assault and battery, which, he argued,
was inclusive In the charge upon
which McLaren was held to the dis
trict court. Judge Leighton denied
the writ and McLaren must stand
trial on the charge in district court.
This was McLaren's second attempt
in the state In the past nine months.
to gain his freedom on habeas corpus
proceedings. The first one was fought
last winter when an attempt
made to extradite him by the authori-
ties of the state of Iowa, was sue
cessful and he was given his liberty.
! has achieved considerable notoriety
through his frequent clashes with the
law n the agility with which he has
been able to escape the penalty on 81
number OF previous occasions.
