FRASER TO SUPREME BENCH.
Chosen on Second Ballot Over Three
Competitors.

Columbia, Jan. 1.-AssOciate JUS
tice G. A. Woods was to-day noml-
mated by his friend, Senator Mont
gomery, Of Marion, for reelection on
the supreme court bench. No speech
es were permitted, but in a single
sentence Mr. Montgomery spoke
much when he said he had real pleas
ure in nominating for reelection
Justice C. A. Woods, the eminent
jurist, the self-sacrificing and dis
tinguished citizen and lovable citi-
zen of his home county. Of course
there was no opposition to the re-
election of Associate Justice Woods,
and he was unanimously reelected
for the full term.
Elected on Second Ballot.
Then came the election of an asso-
ciate justice to fill the unexpired
term of Chief Justic Eugene B. Gary,
the Hon. Thomas B. Fraser, of Sum-
ter, being elected. The attitude of
the lawyers to this high position is
shown by the fact that four candi-
dates were offered for the high hon
or. Senator Hardin presented the
name of Judge George w. Gage, of
Chester; Senator Clifton presented
the name of Mr.. Thomas B. Fraser,
of Sumter; Mr.. Kurtz P. Smith nom
mated Judge Geo. E. Prince, of An
derson, and Senator Francis H.
Weston, of Columbia, presented the
name of Mr.. Geo. w. S. Hart, of
Yorkville:
Then the balloting began.
The first ballot resulted: Thomas
B. Fraser Is, Geo. W. Gage So, Geo.
E. Prince 20, Geo. w. S. Hart IL.
Then came the second and conclu-
sive ballot: Thomas B. Fraser SO,
Geo. w. Gage So, Geo. E. Prince, g..
Necessary to elect 81.
Thus Mr.. Thomas B. Fraser, who
has for years given patient and in
telligent service to his State as a
member of the house, and has been
chairman of the house judiciary COM
mittee, was elevated to place on
the supreme court bench. The elec-
ton will give entire satisfaction.

PICTURE REVEALS LOST GIRL.
Russian Peasant and Wife See Like.
ness of Daughter.

St. Petersburg, Jan. GA cinema
tograph film was instrumental in fur
nishing an audience at picture show
with a real live romance to-day.
While a scene in play was being
reproduced at a cinematograph thea
tire here, a peasant and his wife, two
of the spectators, recognized an ac-
tress in the picture as their long-lost
daughter. The woman swooned. and
her husband, shouting, my daugh-
teri" tried to force his way behind
the stage, expecting to find his
daughter there. To convince him
that his daughter was not there, the
manager had the curtain drawn up.
Then, ringing up the firm from
whom he got the finn, the manager
was informed that the actress was
there, and would set out for the thea
ter at once.
Soon after this information had
been given out to the audience, a cab
drove up with the actress, and par
ents and daughter had an affection
ate meeting. To the delight of the
audience, the young lady appeared
on the stage.

Girl Quite a Heroine.

Atlanta, Jan. 1.-THE pretty little
Moore girl who shot and killed W. L..
Bankston because he insulted her
mother, has become quite heroine
since she was acquitted and freed OF
blame on her preliminary trial.
ohe is only Is years old, sweet and
modest as a young girl can be. That
she actually pulled the trigger that
sent violent death to the man who
was about to strike her down with a
chair is almost impossible to believe.
AS is inevitably the case, numerous
offers to go on the stage are being
showered upon the young girl, and,
according to rumors, other offers of a
more romantic nature have been
made by young gentlemen who never
heard of Miss Moore until they saw
her name and picture in the paper.
However, the young girl is attract
ed neither by the offers of a career
on the stage nor by the attentions of
sentimental young men, and proposes
to live quietly with her mother, as
if nothing had ever happened to de-
stroy the peaceful quiet Of their
home.

A patient at the State hospital in
Binghamton, N. Y, known as pat

who had the appearance of having
been, out in the storm all night en-
tered the electric light station at
Union, eight miles from this city,
and asked to be allowed to get warm.
His actions were peculiar, and

plant, fearing that he might get in
contact with some of the dangerous
machinery, ordered. him out. The
intruder refused, and resisted when
Hillsinger endeavored to eject him.
In the struggle which ensued Hill
singer placed the mans hands in con-
tact with a live wire carrying 1870
volts of electric current. He could
not remove his hands as long as the
current was turned on, and Hillsing-
er bound him securely before turn
ing off the electricity. The authori-
ties were notified and the man was
identified as Pat.

ANOTHER CHANGE FOR MORSE
Famous Convict Ordered to Hot
Springs for Treatment.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Charles w.
Morse, the New York banker, to-day
was ordered transferred from Fort
Mcpherson, Ca, to the army general
hospital, Hot Springs, Ark. Presi-
dent Taft and Attorney General
Wickersham decided upon the trans
fer, believing special medical treat
ment was necessary. Because of his
physical condition, Morse recently
was transferred to Fort Mcpherson
from the Atlanta Federal peniten-
tiary, where he was serving fifteen
years for violation of the banking
laws.
Attorney General Wickersham is
sued a statement regarding the trans
fer of Morse from Fort Mcpherson
to Hot Springs, saying: Very ur-
gent application has been made to
the president to pardon Morse, in
order to allow him to go to Carlsbad
for treatment, which, it was repre-
sented on his behalf, was essential
to his recovery. The army medical
authorities have, however, advised
the president that equally effective
treatment can be furnished at Hot
Springs, Ark, and the prisoner is,
therefore, directed to be transferred
there, still remaining in the custody
of the penitentiary authorities"

MARVELS OF THE BERMUDAS.
Crystal Cave and the Devils Hole
Draw the Visitors.

Everyone visiting Bermuda is ex-
rected to go out to the reefs and
into the Crystal Cave. A boat takes
passengers out to the reefs and an
chors. From eighteen to twenty
people at time go in a glass bot
toned boat out over the reefs. The
passengers on the large boat climb
down into the little one and take
their seats around it's edge The
two colored rowers soon get the
boat out over the reefs and. all
heads go down and stay down until
the glass boat gets back to the big
one to take on another load 1t is
funny sight to watch the people in
the small boat, all leaning over to-
ward the center, says the Utica
Press. The exclamations of wonder
and delight are numerous, and the
sight of the coral growths, the sea
ferns, brain coral, etc., with an oc-
casional fish below the boat, is one
which will be remembered for long
time by all those fortunate enough
to have the experience.
A drive to St. George included a
stop at the famous Crystal Cave, dis
covered in 1907. It has recently
been fitted with electric lights. A
descent of Is feet is made by stairs,
when the cave is reached. Bridges
are built out over the lake $50 feet
long, and the stalactites and stalag-
mites sparkle in the light. The
guide turns the light out, and
sometimes in the gloom an un-
righteous person reaches up and
breaks off a piece of the stalactites.
Forbidden fruit is sweet, and the
signs posted warning against touch
ing anything often creates desire
to disobey. The Crystal Cave is one
of the sights of Bermuda, and was
discovered four years ago by two
boys. They kept their secret for six
months, visiting the cave by lowering
themselves with a rope and breaking
off the stalactites and selling them to
tourists. While the entrance was on
land owned by the boys parents, the
cave was under land owned by man
who walled up the passage leading to
the original entrance. The boys re-
ceived about $40 while the man gets
rs cents apiece for every one who
enters the cave and every tourist Wis
it's it.
The DEVILS Hole is a natural
cave, in which is pond fed by the
ocean and stocked with grupu, rock
and angel fish and two turtles, Sarah
Jane and Happy Jack. The fish are
tame and answer the call of the care
taker when he wants to feed them.
The grupu fish change color, and
when rushing for food turn dark
brown instantly In the aquarium
are fine specimens of the beautifully
colored angel fish and others found
in the waters around the islands.

WILLIS REPLIES TO BLEASE.
Defends His Position on "BeltOn In
cident."

Columbia, Jan. 11.-A feature of
the proceedings in the house of rep
resentatives to-day were the remarks
of Representative j. Archie Willis, of
Laurens county, rising to question
Of personal privilege and replying to
the attack made upon him yesterday
by Gov Blease in his special message
relating to the libel act, now known
as his newspaper message In the
course Of Mr.. Williss remarks Rep
resentative w. w. Dixon, of Fair
field, suggested that Mr.. Willis was
out of order in the nature of the re-
marks he was making, but was over
ruled by Speaker Smith. Appealing
to the house from the decision of the
speaker, Mr.. Dixon's motion was lost,
he alone supporting it.
Mr.. Willis was the editor of the
Belton Times and was among others
denounced yesterday by Gov. Blease
as a liar, accompanied by number of
adjective qualifications, with particu-
lar reference to the now famous BEL
ton Incident" Prefacing his defence
on this point, Mr.. Willis said:
despite the fact that l hold in my
hand a letter from the Black Hand
of South Carolina as the writer or
writer's are pleased to term them
selves, warning me that if again pay
my respects to the governor of South
Carolina l shall be killed in short Or
der, I want to take this opportunity
of defending myself against the un-
called for attack of his excellency in
special message yesterday, when he
took occasion to call me a liar, to
which was added certain adjectives
peculiarly all the governors own"
1t is recalled that last summer the
Belton Times, of which Mr.. Willis is
editor, published an account of an al
legged insult to the young lady ticket
agent at Belton by Gov. Blease. This
was substantiated by an affidavit from
the young lady herself, Miss Mary j.
Rogers, and corrOborated by an aft1-
davit by Mr.. JAS NJ Alexander, a by
stander. Some time later the gov
ernor produced an affidavit from Miss
Rogers which contradicted her form
er statement and vindicated him of
the charge of any misconduct.
Mr.. Willis in his remarks before
the house yesterday produced the
original affidavits of Miss Rogers
and Mr.. Alexander and repeated his
statement that his account of the in
cident was correct, and assigned rea-
sons why contradictory affidavit
was made later.
AS to the boasted politeness and
courtesy of the governor, Mr.. Willis
declared that his very message to the
general assembly was an insult.
"Gentlemen," said he, 81 appeal to
you to know if am not speaking the
truth when I say that his every mess
age to the general assembly is filled
with insult. They are couched in
such language that the gentlemen to
whom they are addressed hang their
heads in shame upon hearing them.
We are filled with disgust, and from
every row of seats in this house the
fervent cry goes up, oh, Lord, how
long, how long!'"

D. r. READ, EDITOR.

Mr.. Voter and Mr.. Taxpayer, don't
Ire deceived by Jennings many prom.
ises Of the Use Of her City Hall for the
parish court house for the next TEN
years. If Jennings really meant to do
this, and had in her heart to do the
square thing by the people of the par.
ish, why did the Jennings members in
the Police Jury oppose to the last, the
ordinances providing for the donation
of the COURT HOUSE SITE, and the
furnishing of HOUSING and FURNISH.
ING for the parish officials for a period
of ONLY THREE YEARS? Nor can
Jennings lay the blame onto Messrs.
Conner and Merritt, for taking this ac.
ton, as no sooner was this measure.
passed by the police jury, than q dele.
cation of Jennings boosters, the same
fellows that are now trying to make
capital, out of their WOULD.BE gener.
osity, rushed to Lake Charles and con.
suited their attornies in regard to
taking the question into court in an
effort to annul the action of the police
jury, upon the grounds that, that body
was INJECTING an unWarrented burden
upon the town of Jennings, in asking
- her to donate otto for tho count bo,,,a
and provide for the parish officials for
period OF three years. No, Mr.. Voter
Jennings is not going to give the par.
ISM OF jefferson Davis anything that
she does not have to give it, and then
you may depend upon it that she will
get back with interest anything that
she is forced to give.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1912-10-18

In view Of the oft repeated assertion
made by Jennings promoters, poll.
tlclans and boosters that if they should
get the Court House they would be
more than willing to let the rest of the
parish have the offices, the fact that
jennings has more candidates out max.
T. ing a still hunt for Office, ranging from
| the Sheriff's Office down to that of Rap.
resentatlVe in the State Legislature
than all the rest of the parish
there seems to be but one of two con.
cluslons to be drawn. Either jennings
IS dlsregarding her statement that if
she gets the court house she will let the
rest OF the parish have the Offices. or
else SHE DOES NOT EXPECT TO GET
The COURT HOUSE. Now the first of
these conclusions would naturally i'm.
ply that Jennings was not ACTING
honorable in the matter, and all men
know that Jennings is honorable (?)
hence the latter conclusion is the ONLY
one that CAN be accepted, that is, Jen.
mugs knows SHE can't win in the parish
seat hight, therefore she is putting out
as many OF her men for office as can see
gllmmer Of hope CT winning.
