Oldham Declared Legal Governor.

Little Rock, Ark, March 15.-
State Senator w. X. Oldham, who, &:
president of the Senate at the lime
Governor Robinson resigned last Sat-
urday, was installed as acting Gov
ernor, was declared legally entitled
to h office to-day by Circuit Judge
Fulk, be,ore whom mandamus and
custer proceedings were brought by
Senator j. NJ. Futrell. An appeal to
the Arkansas Supreme Court will be
taken. Final settlement Of the con-
~troversy is expected within about two
weeks.
Futrell, who was elected president
pro tempore of the Senate last Mon
day, claimed that, with the adjournS
ment of the Legislature yesterday, it
devolved upon him to u the Of
flee Of Governor pending an election.
Oldham refused to relinquish the Of
fee, contending that, as he was the
president Of the Senate at the time
Governor Robinson resigned, he %
the rightful acting Governor. The
Arkansas constitution does not pro-
vide for a Lieutenant Governor. In
stead the presiding officer Of the Sem
ate succeeds to the office, should
there be a vacancy pending a special
election. Both Oldham and Futrell
are maintaining Offices in the Capitol.
No bills passed by the Legislature
were signed by either contestant for
the Governors office to-day. 3

The Cause of Rheumatism.

Stomach trouble, lazy liver and de-
ranged kidneys are the cause Of rheu-
matism. Get your stomach, liver,
kidneys and bowels in healthy con-
dition by taking Electric Bitters, and
you will not be troubled with the
pains of rheumatism. Charles B.
Allen, a school principal, Of Sylvania,
Ga, who suffered indescribable tor
lure from rheumatism, liver and sto-
mach trouble and diseased kidneys,
writes: "An remedies failed until I
used Electric Bitters, but four bot
ties Of this wonderful remedy cured
me completely" Maybe your rheu-
matte pains come from stomach, liver
and kidney troubles. Electric Bit
ters will give you prompt relief. soc.

BUTCHERY MARKS BATTLE.
Wounded Men Put to Death i'm Fight
ut Nueva Laredo.

Laredo, March 17.-The streets of
Nueva Laredo, the Mexican town OBJ
posite this city, were the scene Of a
battle lasting an hour and a half this
afternoon, in which twenty Carran-
zistas and fifteen Federals were kill
ed. Nearly fifty soldiers were
wounded.
The C~arranzistas retreated to the
hills south Of Nueva Laredo, where
they appear to be preparing for a
fresh assault.
Apparently it was a cruel fight. One
rebel soldier was e e to fall as If
dead, but when the charging Fede-
rails reached him he raised his head.
A Federal leveled a rifle, blowing off
part Of the top Of the wounded mans
head, whereupon several Federals
kicked the body out of the way until
1t rolled down the steep embankmCnt
or a little arroyo which d%ebouches
into the Rio Grande. 1t was reported
that the Federals received orders to
exterminate the Carranzistas.

Was Best Ever Held.
(The state. 15th.)

ed by the State Teachers Association
yesterday. The resolution, which was
introduced by I. c.. E~asterling, of
Marion, was adopted at en- executive
session held in the hall of the House
OF Representatives at the State
House. This was the concluding ses-
sion of what Is considered the most
successful meeting ever held by the
State association.
The following resolution was unan-
imously adopted by the association:
"Resolved, That the State Teach
ers' Association, in session assem-
bled, express it's hearty appreciation
and Endorsement of the action OF the
General Assembly in passing the Nc
Cravey-Lawson compulsory attend
ance bill. We hereby pledge our
selves to continue the campaign for
better school attendance until every
white child of school age Is receiving
instruction, and until every such
child has been taught to read and
write.
Officers Elected.
The following officers were elected:
A. II. Gasque, Florence, president; A.
b. Rhett, Charleston, first vice presi-
dent; Mrs. Hettie Brown, Winthrop
College, second vice president. L. T.
Baker, Columbia, secretary, and G. ".
Neuffer, Bennettsville. treasurer, are
hold-over officers. At the session yes
terday the number of vice presidents
was reduced from seven to two. The
executive committee is composed of
the new president; the retiring pres
ident, c. r. Burts, of Gleenville; the
secretary, the treasurer and one
elective member, r.. S. Dreher, of Co
lumbia.
1t was announced that the eXecu-
tive committee would very probably
meet in November to select the next
meeting place for the association.
After discussion it was decided not
to award the silk banner at this time
for the county making the best men,
bership showing at the meeting Of
the association. Four counties, Rich

ton decided to award each of the
four counties a banner. The banners
will be mad and sen out later.
Officials Of the association said

meetings ever held. There was
marked interest in all Of the adj

said: 81 don't think / should bore you,
my dear. In fact, l should be rather
proud of having a good-looking woman
for my wife, and l fancy l could give
you a good time. In any case"-this
with a certain condescension-"m
name might be of some use to you"
A sort of shame was creeping over
me. The dog was yawning in my face
My intended husband threw 1t off his
knee.
Shall we consider ii a settled thing,
them" he asked, and when in my con-
fusion l still made no reply (having
nothing which l felt myself entitled to
say), he said something about my Aunt
Bridget and what she had told him at
luncheon about my silence and shyness,
and then, rising to his feet, he put my
arm around his own and turned our
faces toward home.
That was all. AS I am a truthful
woman, that was everything. Not a
word from me-nay, not half a word
merely a passive act of silent acqui-
escence, and in my youthful and almost
criminal innocence I was committed to
the most monotonous incident of my
life.
But there was no love- making, no
fondling, no kissing, no courtship Of
any kind, and none of the delirious rap
ture which used to be described in AL
mas novels. l was really grateful for
that, and immensely relieved to find
that matters could be completed with
out them.
When we reached the house the bell
was ringing for tea, and my father was
coming out of the library, followed by
the three lawyers.

was saying.
Yes, that's all right. sir" they were
answering; and then, seeing US as we
entered, my father said to Lord Raa:

"Of course, therell be deeds to draw
up, and | want things done correct,
even if it costs me bit of money. But
we've only one thing more to fix up
today, and then were through-the
wedding. When is It to come OFF,"
An appeal was made to me. but 1
felt it was only formal, so l glanced
across to Lord Raa without speaking.

thing was said by somebody about

been very restless, rose to his feet say

MARY MEETS HER IN
TENDED HUSBAND

r WAS sitting in my own room, writ
ing to the reverend mother to tell
her of my return home, when /
heard the toot Of a horn, and, raising
my eyes. saw a motor car coming up
the path. 1t contained three gentlemen,
one of whom wore goggles and carried a
silver haired terrier on his knee.
A little later Messy Macleod came to
tell me that Lord Raa and his party had
arrived and l was wanted Immediately.
I went downstairs hesitatingly, halt
ingly, with a sense of coming trouble.
Reaching the door of the drawing room,
time-there being nothing in his ap-
pearance to awaken in me the memory
of ever having seen him before.
He was on the hearth rug in front of
the fire, talking to Betsy Beauty, who
was laughing immoderately. To get a
better look at him and at the same time
to compose myself, l stopped for mo-
ment to speak to the three gentlemen
(the two lawyers and Lord Raas trus-
tee or GUARDIAN, who were standing
with my father in the middle of the
floor.
He was undoubtedly well dressed and
had certain air Of breeding, but even
to my girlish eyes he betrayed at that
first sight the character of q man who
had lived an irregular, perhaps dissi-
pated life.
His face was pale, almost puffy, his
gray eyes were slow and heavy, his
mustache was dark and small, his hair
was thin over his forehead, and he had
general appearance of being much
older than his years, which | knew to
