SENSATIONAL CASE IN FLOR

Wife of DIR. William Ilderton Brings
Startling Charges Against Him in
Alimony Suit.

Florence, Nov. 16.-A very peculiar
and sensational case was brought be-
fore the court of common pleas here
this morning in q motion to submit
the issues in reference in a suit for
alimony by Mrs. William Ilderton
against her husband, DR.. William
lldcrton, n man who has been prom
incnt in politics and public affairs in
Florence since the '90s. He was sem
ator from Florence county for several
terms and has been trustee of the
state Industrial school and filed other
positions Of responsibility and honor
Mrs. Ilderton alleges immortality is
practiced by her husband and charges
neglect and cruelty. She is supported
by atiidavits by her children and 9TH
ers. III reply DR.. Ilderton alleges that
his wife is very nervous and almost
insancly jealous and suspicious and
that her mind has been poisoned by
his enemies and by members of her
family. He is supported by amdavits
that allege that Mrs. Ilderton some
times denied her statements of cruelty
and neglect and said that her husband
had treated her well. They also al
lege a morbidness approaching to in
sanity.
The plaintiff requests the reference
of the case that the details of the
charges may not be made public, in
volving many innocent parties and
touching homes other than the dis
tressed one of the litigants. The de-
tense insists that the case should be
given to the jury, that Dr. Ilderton,
who has been injured by the charges
might be exonerated openly in court.
Judge Gary has reserved his decision
in the matter.

SOUTH CAROLINA COMES BACK.
Forced by Circumstances to EconO-
mize and Turn From Cotton as Sole
Support Farmers Seek Salvation i'm
DivcrsificatiOn of Crops and Fall
Finds Smiles Replacing Frowns of
Year AgO-Statc Has Nothing to
Fear.

"A story OF q return to prosperity
after year of dismal prospects is
told from all sections of South Caro-
lima. In every county smiles have
replaced the frowns of one year ago.
The high price OF cotton has done
much to dissirate the feeling of gloom
SO unanimous in the spring but II
cents cotton has not been the con-
trolling factor.
Behind the confident face the
planters place to the future is the
fact that the South Carolina farmer
has found himself. Forced by ne
cessity to economize, this sturdy
citizen did that and more. He called
on his farm, dormant only for lack
of opportunity, to produce food for
man and beast and the farm re-
spondcd as the expert agriculturists
said it would.
With cotton selling for a song
last spring the farmer saw that he
must not depend on one crop and
diversified farming has been brought
to the front as never before in this
State.
Prosperity for the farmer has
meant good times for merchants and
bankers and everywhere the business
men say they cannot complain. The
farmer has produced q cheaper crop
than ever before and with the pro-
duction far shorter than usual over
$40, 100000 more will be realized
this year than was the case last fall.
material reduction in commercial
fertilizer has played an important
| part. l.salfSlsgs
In spite o. so-calledi hard times
manufacturing industries have not
| been idle. In many counties the
year has been spent in improve
ments and making additions to plants.

succeeded in raising more than $500.
The conference decided to memo
rialize the general assembly to have
the names of all Revolutionary SOL
diers. together with their regiments
and their rank, preserved in the
.archives of the State.
The morning session adjourned at
= o'clock when the guests were
served a repast in the dining room
of the Chicora building.
This conference has been decidedly
successful. An attendance of moro
than 20 Daughters of the American
Revolution from all parts of the State
was recorded. The two GreenviIle
chGp piers have been hosts to the con-
ference. a number of social features
have contributed to the success of

Camden. Nov. 1.-THE people of
Camden were very much gratined to
learn that the war department has

Der of suitable camp sites near the

trio lights can be easily run, and in

partmcnt. Besides the encampmcnt
camden expects n bis polo season.

MANNING FAVORS TRAINING
CAMP.
Governor Believes Good Results Will

Columbia, Nov. 16--The announce
ment by Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood
from New York that a citizens mill
tary training camp is to be establish
ed at Camden by the United States
war department for one month, begin
ming early in February, was received
yesterday with interest in South Caro-
lima military circles. Gov. Manning
said that he was highly pleased with
the decision OF the department. The
camp VII be modelled after the Platts-
burg tN. " camp. where over l.
900 citizens went into training FOR one
month last summer.
j. Shapter Caldwell, assistant ad-
jutant general, said that the camp
would arouse much interest in the Ma
tional Guard, but that the general
public was mistaken in thinking that
one months training would make a
soldier.
Early this fall several militia Of
flcers conferred with Gov. Manning
concerning the establishment Of q
camp in this State. One of the first
officers to make the suggestion was
Col. II. b. Springs of Georgetown,
commanding the Second infantry.
