In an opinion rendered today the su-
preme court affirmed the decision of
Judge Galloway in a suit instituted by
Ernest Ringo to restrain the secretary
of state from referring the Workmen 3
Compensation Act, and whether or not
it becomes law now rests with the
vote of the people at the special refer
endum election to be held on November
t.
Ringo alleged fraud and on this
ground asked that the petitions be set
aside and the measures not referred.
Judge Galloway dismissed the suit be-
cause his allegations were not support
ed by evidence, and the supreme court
today sustains him on the same ground.
Incidentally Ringo also alleged that the
signatures in the petition were illegible,
but the court held that there is no
standard of penmnnship established by
statute, and that the genuineness Of the
signatures were not attacked.
Another interesting case decided by
the court was one instituted by the city
of Portland to determine whether bonds
issued prior to the adoption Of its new
charter had to be re.submitted to
vote of the people, The court held they
did not.

WASinNGY3N'S BIRTHDAY.
FiItingiy Observed Friday Evening
Address by Dr.. L. Pendiet0n Jones.
Very Instructive.

WlShi gton5 birthday was appro-
priately celebrated in the opera house
Friday evening by the graded school
pupils. The exercises consisted OF
patriotic songs and recitations by the
pupils, and an address by DR.. E. PEN
dleton Jones, pastor Of the First Bap-
tist church. Too much can not be
said in praise of the pupils who took
part. Both the little first and second
grade children and the high school
pupils appeared to great advantage.
DR.. Jones address on Washington
was a magnificent speech. He dealth
with the great causes that helped to
make Washington, and pointed out his
.: ct services to the republic, emphas-
lied Washington's poise and eQuili-
brium under trying circumstances
when congress was blocking his great
efforts for the good of his country.
Washington had the power to crush
congress, but refused to act in such Il
way as to give any future tyrant or
demagogue an opportunity to point to
him as an example of one who could
be little enough to strike back even
under trying circumstances ald great
provocation. Washington was unsel-
fish, anG faithful in all the little things
of life. The great paf the South hd
had in the making of this country was
pointed out; and its sacrifices in m -,
moGey and brain, and, at the close Of
the war the great gifts of land the
South, especially Virginia, gave to the
union in order that the union might be
formed. This land was given as rec
gift by sovereign States when some Of
the Northern States were standing
back and refusing to sign the constita-
tion unless these States would give up
some Of the territory that .n., iIt,4
wrested from the enemy. At this point
the speaker made an earnest plea for
fairness in writing history, and thar
the South should not be robbed of tie
glory that is hers
The opera house was beautifully dec
Grated in national colors, and every
thing was in keeping with the occa
sion, except the conduct of few boys
in the gallery.

Net rd-Sh0ckley.

The Herald and News of last Friday
carried an announcement OF the MAI
riage of Mr.. Clyde Ernest ShochleE,
formerly of Newberry The following
is a fuller account from the H 'dSei
correspondent of the Greenwood IN
deX, written the 18th:
Last night marriage of unusual

Mr.. c.. E. Shockley, of williamson,
and Miss Belle McCord, of Hodges,
we're united in the holy bonds of mat
rimony by Rev. W. H. Hamilton, of
Ninety Six, pastor OF the bride.
This marriage had been predicted
for soma time, but the week and the
day was quite puzzle to the inQui-
sitive. And yet to add more beyond
the expectations of many and On ac-
count of sickness in the family it TaS
decided by the contracting parties to
be quietly S.arried before only very
few intimate friends a. the home OF

"FrcchleS."

The popularity of "Freckles" was
duly attested last night at tie Duva
theatre, when a crowded house saw the
clean, wholesome reproduction of the
story that has taken hold Of the
hearts of thousands of men, women
and children.
1t is simple play, and its setting is
simple, being for the most part "out
in the great woods OF nature" ;" and
there was no need for elaborate stag
ing, and none was attempted. The
scenes in the great swamp were de-
picted we'll, and the natural effects
were good and we'll arranged.
The story runs around the devotion
of a country boy who is left almost
alone in his work Of guarding the great
