THREE WOMEN
KEEP A SECRET
Especial Correspondence

Especial correspondence
WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-That wo-
men can keep a secret has been
proven for good and all. Three prom
inent suffrage leaders kept what was
to them the biggest secret in the
world from July II to August l. The
secret was the fact that Charles E.
Hughes, Republican candidate for
President of the United States, was
going to declare himself in favor of
the federal amendment for woman's
suffrage. On July II the secret was
known to Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the National American
Suffrage association; Dr. Anna How
ard Shaw and Mrs. Norman der.
Whitehouse, chairman of the New
York State Woman Suffrage party.
Mrs. Gait. DR.. Shaw and Mrs. White
house called on Mr.. Hughes in his
New York headquarters, July II, and
urged him to help the women of the
country in their fight for the ballot
by giving an endorsement of suffrage
without any strings to it." Mr..
Hughes listened to them attentively
for more than an hour and at the con-
SAu'AOi Vi AhN AAAtCl NlCW Sultu LHGlIi
that the members of the National
American Woman Suffrage association
would be satisfied with his stand on
the suffrage question.
The Republican candidate asked
them to let him make the announce.
ment in his own good time. They
promised him they would do so and
while the country waited the Repub-
lican nominees declaration on suf-
frage and politicians and suffrage
leaders throughout the country were
on keen edge to know what he was
going to do, Mrs. Gait, Dr. Shaw and
Mrs. Wihtehouse kept the secret to
themselves.
The Republican candidate withheld
the announcement until August /,
when his assurances were lived up to
by him both in his telegram to Sen
ator Sutherland, OF Utah, and in his
speech before the Womens Roosevelt
League at the Astor MOTEL in New
York City.
Incidentally, the Democratic camp
here is deeply stirred up over Mr..
Hughes frank statement, especially
since Mr.. Wilson has been shi. ly-shal-
lying with the suffrage question ever
since he took office.

ONE BIG MAN
THINKS OF ANOTHER

THINKS OF ANOTHER
Pre- sident w. II. p. Faunce,
Of Brown University, is a pref
ty live wire who keeps abreast
Of the times, has keen powers
of observation, and knows
good man when he sees him.
Here is what he has to say
about the Republican Candidate
for the Presidency:
al have known Justice Hughes
intimately since we were stu
dents together at Brown and
have seen him a thousand times
at work and at play. No man of
our generation has a finer com
bination Of character and intel
leet. Absolutely fearless, un-
selfish, loyal to American ideals,
he is worthy Of a nations trust.
"All his friends know that be-
hind the dignity of bearing Is
rich fund of huno or and good
fellowship. Whether he is climb
Ing a mountain, reading novels,
playing with his children, re-
slsting a political lobby or de
llvering the opinion Of the Su-
preme Court, he is ever the
same rugged, democratic, fair
minded American. His varied
experience has given him wide
horizon and sympathy with ev-
cry aspect of American life.
"He possesses two qualities
rarely found together-the Judi
cial temper and the capacity for
swift and resolute action. Un-
der his administration the foo
which now besets many public
questions would be cleared
away.
"His penetrating mind goes TO
the heart Of any subject he Sc
lects and strips off the lrrele-
want at once. Such a mind Is
peculiarly needed amid the In
trlcate problems that now con-
front America.
I'VE need more than good in
tentions. We need clear vision,
sound judgment, strong will, un-
hesitatino decision. In short,
we need Charles {. Hughes."

Snake Kills Eight Hogs.

Georgetown, Ky, January l.
James W Palmer shipped a load of
fat hogs from here to the Cincinnati
market, and when the car was un-
loaded it was found that eight head
of the hogs were dead. Upon ex-
animation of the car large copptr-
head snake was found lying dea! Or
the floor.
When Mr. Palmer loaded the CO
here it contained a lot Of old bed
ding, and Mr. Palmer put in fresh
bedding without removing what was
already in the car, and the snake
was evidently coiled up in the old
bedding when the car was loaded.
The hogs must have stirred the
reptile from its hiding place and
then it was a battle royal for pos
session, resulting in the snake kill
ing eight head of the porkers before
being conquered.

COVERS WIDE TERRITORY.

Washington, December 81: State
wide prohibition of the sale and
manufacture of Intoxicating liquors
will become effective in seven States
at midnight tonight, putting out of
business more than 5000 saloons. a
large number of breweries, whole
sale liquor houses and distilleries.
The States which are to enter the
dry column are: South Carolina,
Iowa. Colorado, Oregon, Washington,
Idaho and Arkansas,
In Colorado district attorneys at a
recent meeting agreed that techni-
cally the constitutional prohibition
amendment and the enforcing stat
ute do not become effective until
midnight January /, but it was also
decided that the expiration of all
liquor licenses at midnight tonight
will render liquor sales New Years
day unlawful. According to one
authority between S2,000,000 and
S3,000,O00 have been expended for
drink in Colorado in the last week.
Arkansas will have its first eXpe-
rience with prohibition when the
Statewide law passed by the last
Legislature goes into effect. The
Arkansas department of the Anti
saloon league has announced that
the league will have busy workers in
the field to see that the law IS en-
forced. Anti-prohibition leaders
have announced that no fight will be
made for the repeal of the law at
least until prohibition has been given
a thorough trial.
In Iowa bargain day" sales IN
the 5O2 saloons of the State are in
progress today preparatory to the
final closing tonight. Under the Mu-
lot act, passed by the last Legisla-
ture, statutory prohibition is restor-
ed, pending the action of the next
Legislature and the people on the
proposed constitutional amendment
for prohibition, which is to be dis
posed of within the next two years.

SOUTH CAROLINA
UNDER PROHIBITION.
DISPENSARY PASSED AWAY ON
FRIDAY AFTERNOON LAST.
STATE IS NOW "DRY."

Columbia, December 3l:-G Good
bye, booze, we're through" sang
South Carolinians tonight as the sun
went down and the dispensaries
closed up forever. The remnant of
the G M l departed this life official
" at 5:25 O'Clock this afternoon and
South Carolina took her rank in the
column of the prohibition States.
There we're no tears and no obse-
ouies at the end. The knowledge
was Statewide that the dispensaries
would be no more after tonight and
le ending had been discounted.
With some stock left on hand in
.ichland and Charleston and posi-
ly a few other counties, there can
be nothing done with it unless the
General Assembly directs some dis
position to be made.
The stock on hand will be locked
in central warehouses and left until
further directions are given by the
law-making powers.
1t is estimated by L L Bultman,
State Dispensary Auditor, that at
least 1925, 900 will be on hand when
the dispensaries close this afternoon.
This surplus has placed the State
authorities in quandary, as the
bill providing for the referendum
election did not provide for the dis
posal of any stock that might be left
over, and the position of every Of
fetal and subordinate of the sys-
tenn automatically ceases tonight.
This raises a doubt as to the owner
ship of the remaining stock and what
disposition can be made of it, as it
cannot legally be sold in South Car
olina. The matter will either have
to be adjusted by the Legislature or
the courts, it is said. Williamsburg
and Bamberg counties are the only
ones that have completely disposed
of their stocks. 1t is estimated that
the Columbia dspensaries will have
a 100000 surplus stock and Charles
ton $50, 900 worth of whisky on hand.
Governor Manning states that the
prohibition law will be enforced to
the letter. Representative Lilies of

the Legislature will introduce a bill

TO BE TRIED AFTER TEN YEARS.
Joe Grant to Face Jury In Edge
field on Charge of Murder.

Joe Grant, a negro, who lost his
fight against extradition from the
State of Pennsylvania, will probably
be placed on trial for his life in the
Edgefeld county court at the next
term. Grant is charged with killing
| j T burst, merchant. at Johnston
early in 1906. The negro is held in
the State penitentiary and it is said
will not be taken to Edgefeld until
the time of his trial.
The fight for the extradition of
Grant was waged through a period
of two years by Thomas H Peoples,
Attorney General. and George Bell
Zimmerman, Solicitor of the Elev-
enth judicial circuit. The negro
carried his case to the United States
supreme court and lost.
Mr. burst was shot by Grant, it is
alleged, while he was assisting an
officer to arrest the negro. Grant
fled Immediately and, it is said, went
to Savannah and from there to Phil
adelphia, where he opened a barber
shop. Grant had operated barber
shop at Johnston.
The finding of Grant was purely
a piece of good luck" an official said
yesterday. He was operating a
barber shop and club room for ne
groes in Philadelphia. One night
he took too much whiskey and be-
gan to brag about having killed a
white man down near Augusta. A
negro detective heard the state
ments. He wrote to the chief of
police of Augusta. The chief there
happened to remember that a negro
by the name of Grant, barber, who
formerly resided in Augusta, had
several years before killed a mer-
chant at Johnston"
Following these disclosures, Grant
was arrested and he then began his
fight against being brought back to
this State. The general plea was
that he would be lynched if brought
back. The courts ignored this plea.
