GOV. WILSON FAVORED BY
SOUTH CAROLINA DENIS

Columbia, 5. c.. May 14.-Whether
South Carolina's eighteen delegates to
the Baltimore convention shall be in
structed for Woodrow Wilson or go
uninstructed is believed to depend
wholly upon which faction of the state
organization is able to dominate the
state convention which meets here to-
morrow.
Practically no campaign for any
candidate other than Wilson has been
made in this state. The faction led by
Governor Coleman Blease, who is n
candidate for another term. favors an
uninstructed delegatIon. The rival fac
tion. under the leadership Of Judge
Ira II. Jones. who aspires to succeed
Blease in the governorship, will fight
hard in the convention for Wilson in
structions.

been unprecedented, owing TO shortage
in the domestic crop. The government
treasury has profited. but the consum-

SO much higher because of the tax.
When the potatoes first began 20 ar

duty taken off for the time being, but
in vain.
Boston isn't the only place where
great quantities of the Foreign potatoes
have been and are being received.
From Ian. To May the receipts at
Portland. Me-. totaled 96.l4O bushels.

Of this county is To be reliablitated.
During the past two years 100 families
moved away from that town. owing TO
the fact that the coal veins from which
the people gained a livelihood were
worked out and the mines abandoned.
But a new era has begun Pros
pecting that has been i'm progress
quietly during the rast six or eight
months has resulted in the discovery
of new and better veins of coal a
llttle deeper than the old, but of such
dimensions and basins as not only to
warrant the opening Of extensive miles,
but such as assure the steady employ
ment of villagers for at least 10 years.
The announcement of the prospecting
revival Of the old town has gone out.
and already some OF the families that
had moved away are going back into
their old homes.
Shawnlut was one of the very first
mining towns in the Elk county field.
and il is for that town that the Shaw
nut railroad is named. For 20 Years
or more it had been prominent as a
bimminous center, the roal from it's
mines being Of a character that gave
it a premium value for furnace and
smith work. The basin produces a
grade of coal somewhat harder than
the ordinary run Of hitumnous.

! serving life term i'm San Quentin

row in the county court Both the
prosecution and the defense claim TO
be ready for the trial and II is quite
likely that the matter viii proceed
without further delay The trial
promises to be no less a cause celebre
than the Mcnamara case and it is
quite possible that it will last a month
or more. Some are even inclined to
believe that it will not be concluded
short of three months.
Has Many Stauneh Friends.
Clarence Darrow has many staunch
friends and they have nobly rallied TO
his support Among them are J. Ham.
Lewis, Democratic candidate for the
United States senatorship of Illinois;
Lincoln Steffens, the magazine writer.
and former United States Senator Pet
tigrew of South Dakota. Others are
expected here from Chicago later on
to testify to Mr. Darrow's good char
acter and reputation.
Clarence S. Darrow is charged with
the bribery and attempted corruption
OF Robert Balm. n juror in the James
3. Mcnamara case, and the bribery
and corruption OF George N. Lockwood
venireman, called i'm the same case.
At the coming trial Darrow will ac.
as his own principal attorney and
will be assisted by Judge Cyrus Nc
Mutt and Earl Rogers. McNutt was
identified with the Mcnamara defense
and Rogers was counsel for Patrick
Calhoun during the famous graft trials
i'm San Francisco and also directed
the first work of investigation OF the
Times dynamiting case.
Fredericks Prosecutes.
The prosecution viii be conducted
by District Attorney John ID Freder-
icks. assisted by deputy district at
torneys Ford and Keetch. IL is believ-
cd that the state win rely 10 a great
extent npon the testimony of Bert
Franklin. a well known labor man.
who is himself under Indictment
charged with jury bribing. 1t is be-
lieved that Franklin will be the chief
witness against Darrow. 1t is also
believed that Mrs. Ortie L. McManigal
and Detective Guy Biddingar. both OF
chicago. will be called as witnesses
by the stateN
The maximum penalty defined Tor
bribery is ten years in prison. For
corruptly influencing one drawn as
Juror five years and fine of $4,000 is
rrovided bv the law. Should Darrow
be found guilty on all OF the -four
counts Of the charge. 30 years impris-
onment and $4,000 fine might be inn
posed. Il Is not considered likely
however. that the maximum penalty
would be inflicted. even II the state
should succeed in clearly proving IT'S
case against Darrow. The latter de-
nics his guilt and his friends are hope
full that he will succeed in complete
iv clearing himself
