years s,700.oo0 adults were separat-
ed by divorce and more than 5,000.-
900 persons affected by these cases.
At present 80 per cent. Of these cases
20 by default. with only one party

mer Candidate for Governor Com
rlits Suicide at Spartanburg.

| IllIS at
MIR. Adam Crane Jones, aged Sc,
former candidate for Governor OF
South Carolina, and one of the most
widely-known travelling salesmen in
the State, Wednesday morning COM
mitted suicide at his home on Con-
verse Heights in Spartanburg by
shooting himself in the right temple
with a 3S-calibre pistol. The re-
mains were shipped to Newberry, his
former home and the funeral was
held at the Presbyterian Church at
that place Thursday afternoon. con-
Quoted by the Rev. Mr.. Kerr.
Mr.. Jones had. been in Ill health
for two weeks; he had suffered from
a severe attack of grip and was Just
convalescent. He awoke, as usual,
Wednesday morning, ana Planned to
attend to some ,lsiness. He was IN
his usual good spirits, and nothing
unusual was noted in his condition.
After breakfast he was sitting
around his home, and at 10 o'clock he
told Mrs. Jones that he was going to
the wood shed in the back yard for
some fuel. This shed Is located about
20 yards from the back coor Of the
home.
Soon after Mr.. Jones left the house
shot was heard, ana ne1ghbors and
members of the family at once went
to the scene. They found Mr.. Jones
lying on the floor Of the house with
a bullet wound In his right temple.
DR.. J. E. Edwards was summoned
and the body was still warm, but the
physician announced that death had
been instantaneous. There were 10
eyewitnesses to the tragedy. The
coroner viewed the remains, but 1t
was such distinct case Of suicide
that he decided that an inquest was
not necessary.
The pistol, with four loaded shells
and one empty. was found at the
feet of Mr. Jones, where it had fallen
after the shot. before he fell back
wards.
Mr.. Jones was q native OF New
berry, having moved to Spartanourg

road conditions in this State, and
was active in travelling mems organ
izations to secure such reforms.
Mrs. Jones and three children sur
vive. His children are Mrs. Schenck,

tanburg, and Miss Louise Jones, a

CRUISER TO MEXICO
THE DENVER Is SENT TO PRO
TECT AMERICANS.
Acting ON Reports OF desperate Sit
nation at Acapulo Warship is Or.
dered to the Scene.

The cruiser Denver has been Or
dered from San Diego, CAL, to Acap-
ulo, Mex, where a desperate situa-
ton is reported, with Americans in
danger. She will arrive at the Mex
lean port on Sunday or Monday. Com
mander Washington has about 270
jakies aboard an about company
of marines.
This Governments decision to send
warship to protect American lives
and property was reached early We'd
nesday, after alarming reports of the
activity Of rebel band under Julio
Radillo had been received through
Ambassador Wilson at Mexico City.
Consul T. Edwards at Acapulo,
had suggested that inasmuch as the
Mexican Federals were unable to
protect Americans, and the Mexican
commander Of the town had admit
ted his inability to reinforce the gar
rison, q warship should be sent.
The last report from Acapulco
said Radillo's men were operating IN
the country about there and that
refugees from every direction were
pouring into the town, which is one
Of the most important Mexican ports
on the Pacific Coast. Depredations
and atrocities by the approaching
rebel band were reported.
Americans and other foreigners
will be taken aboard the Denver
when she reaches there, il they SO
desire. The Denver is the nearest
ship 70 the danger line. Although
the number Of Americans in the city
OF Acapulco is not so large, there
are large numbers in the surrounding
country engaged in ranchins and
mining.
Grave fears were entertained for
their safety by State department Of
ficials as soon as it was learned that
refugees from the outlying country
were seeking safety in Acapulco.
The rebels also control Casas Gran
des, where they hare forced the sus-
pension of operations or the railroad.
Reports to the State department were
more optimistic concerning condi-
tlons along the border in Sonora and
chihuahua, but the situation is said
to be bad in San Luis Potosi.
All communication with the inter-
Tor OF Mexico was cut. Rebels seV-
cred the railway and commercial tel
egraph wires below Gallego, l40
miles south on the Mexican Central
Railway. A passenger train is unac-
counted for and bridges are believed
to have been burned.
Destruction along the Mexican
Northwestern Railway mas been more
extensive than on any former occa-
sion during the two years OF reVolN-
ton. One hundred and twelve wood
en- trestles over $50 miles OF road
have been burned by rebels on the
English Canadian Line, which runs
into the Casas Grandes district.
American property owners In Mex
leo will journey to Mexico City at the
expense Of the Mexican Government
next week to tell President Madero OF
their losses. This is the result OF the
visit along the border Of Pedro Las
curain, minister Of foreign relations
In Madero's Cabinet, and Lloyd c.
Grsicom, former American ambassa-
dor to Italy and president Of the Pan
American Society.
