The Punta Gorda herald., 1916-01-13

In The Herald's announcement
column, appears the card of Hon.
A. l.. Durrance, who is a candi-
date for denomination for clerk
of the circuit court. This is pro-
badly the most important office in
the county, as its duties include
keeping the financial, the court
and other records of the county,
which requires not only ability,
but great care, mremitting at
tcntion and considerable knowl-
edge of th( avs. Mr.. Durrance,
during the years he has held this
office, has proved that he possess
cs all the requisites named, and
his high character is a guarantee
that, if reelected, he will continue
to discharge his duties with the
same fidelity and efficiency as
heretofore.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1916-01-13

Thomas N. Carlton, a popular
and capable citizen of Wauchula,
announces in this paper that he is
a candidate for sheriff. He is al
ready making an active canvass
of the county; and, being mem
Der of the large, influential and
highly respected Carlton family
with representatives all over the
county, he is sure to make a good
race. But he is running on his
own individual merits,-his abili-
ty, integrity and energy, which
are well known and will get him
many votes.
The Punta Gorda herald., 1916-01-13

The second candidate to place
his announcement in this paper is
Hon. Cyril Baldwin, who wishes
to succeed himself as county tax
collector. He is so well known
by the voters of the county that
it is needless to comment upon
his qualifications. Everybody
knows that he is honest, capable
and faithful in the discharge of
his duties and that, if continued
in office, he will serve the people
with fully as much diligence and
efficiency as heretofore. His rec
ord is o. X.

BISHOPS MAY AGAIN
CONSIDER DIVORCES
Episcopal conferees Take
Action Denying Equal Rights
to Women.

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, Oct 19.-The divorce
question In the Protestant Episcopal
Church conference, which was killed In
the house OF deputies last Saturday,
may again be brought before the ruling
bodies of the conference. II was learn
ed today that the house Of bishops. the
senate" of the church. legislative bod
les. In secret session during the night.
had practically decided to bring the
question before the bishops for action.
The proposed new canon, which was
defeated last week. would have pro-
hibited the marriage of any persons
who had been a party to a divorce for
any cause whatever.
The present canon permits the mar
riage of the innocent party OF a d.
vorce decree. The present law was
ruled In order for at least three more
years by the deputies when the lay
men In body refused to concur with the
clerical members. The proposed canon
was defeated after a two-day debate.
Failed to Report.
II was said the canon may be taken
up BY the bishops. because the lower
house has not officially notified the up
per branch OF its action last week
This brings II up as unfinished business
II Is thought the question will be voted
upon some time next week.
If the house OF. bishops passes the
resolution for a new canon, Il will be
sent back to the deputies for concur
renee. Its fate in the lower house Is not
known. but some of the pro" cam
paigners said they had a better chance
to get 1t through than last week.
Opposes Rights.
Women were denied equal rights with
men In two actions taken yesterday by
the house Of bishops of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.
A proposal to give women equal rights
with men In the convention was spon-
sored by Robert II. Gardiner, OF Gard
iner. Mo. A similar resolution is now
on the calendar OF the house of depu-
ties. and, 1t was pointed out. yester-
days action In the upper house does not
preclude 1t being discussed by the low
er body. Since concurrence OF the two
houses Is necessary. In the event the
house OF deputies should approve the
proposal II will 20 to the house OF
bishops for reconsideration.
Establishment of permanent church
publicity bureau, because OF the in
creasinG dependency OF the church on
the presa." was urged in a resolution
adopted by the house OF deputies.

Dick Sittingwell had mad plenty OF
girls when he was young man, but
somehow all his romances had come to
an untimely end. And il was only
within the last two years that new
romance sweeter than any. and more
strange, had come into his life.
He never spoke about Miss Elsie
Van Nugent. II had never entered his
mind that he could speak to her with
out profaning her. That was his
sanctuary, his holy OF holies. And
marriage with her was something OF
which he had never dreamed.
Their acquaintance had begun by
an accident. Dick, toiling up the hill
at Bourne End on hot summer day,
with his sample case in his hand. had
seen the old maid standing at the gate
Of her garden. He looked up at the
big house in the village and. taking
her for the housekeeper, said:
Might ask you for a glass OF wa.
ter, ma'am?"
I'll get you one" stammered Miss
Van Nugent, and ran away. or rather
hurried away, returning with glass
as clear and cold as II it had come
from some Olympian spring. Dick
quaffed 1t at a draft.
Much obliged. ma am" he said, and
raised his hat and went away. He did
not imagine what a romance that was
to Elsie Van Nugent.
Afterward, upon succeeding jour
neys, it often happened that he saw
Miss Elsie at the gate. Then he would
nod pleasantly and pass remark. BY
degrees their intimacy increased

SOUTH CAROLINA ROAD COST
Amount Spent for Improvement
OF lts Highways.

There are now only four states In
the Union that nave not enacted laws
providing for state aid for good roads
work. One Of these states is South
Carolina. the others being Indiana
Mississippi, and Texas. These three
other states. however. are above South
Carolina In expenditures for road
work. Indeed, according to informa
tion which has been received at Clem
son college from the United States
department of agriculture. this state
cannot boast of its record in road
work and is considerably behind most
OF the other states of the Union in this
respect.
| In 1914, South Carolina spent ST..
| 000, 900 on road work, this money corn.

/ expenditures by the state and local
units jointly, or by the state alone.
| In the same period, Indiana spent S13..

does South Carolina compare well
with even the ether southern states.
