Lady Cholmondeley at one time held the
public eye in England in a divorce scandal
that became notorious. Even the doings

Claire Taylor, coming from Omaha, Neb.,
and was brought up in Washington. She
went to New York and was engaged to
play in The Wild Rose" and, later, went
to London in Sam Shubert's Dolly Var
den," in which Mabelle Gilman, now Mrs.
Fills Corey, wife of the Pittsburgh steel
ragnate, was the star.
1t was while she was in The Earl and
the Girl" that she met j. A. Stirling,
Scottish laird and an officer in the Scots
Guards. 1t was a case of love at first sight,
resulting in their marriage. Everything
went along, we'll for a time until busy
bodies commenced to mix in and caused
trouble. Almost before she knew it she
found herself in the midst Of a divorce
suit that made her the most talked-about
woman in England. There were suits and
counter-suits involving discount North

MISSISSIPPIANS DRIVE
AWAY NEGRO LABORERS

MERIDIAN, Miss, July "a. (Spl)-
News m from Wayne county that
the residents of Beat 5 in that county
armed themselves with shotguns and
repealed the importation OF a large num-
Der of negro laborers into that section
by a lumber company.
Beat 8 has been one of those sections
where no negroes were allowed, partic-
ularly some parts of the beat. About
30 years ago a tract of timber was
bought by a big lumber concern and
on warning they obeyed the request
not to send negroes into the section.
Recently another lumber company
bought some timber in that section and
the residents sent a committee request
ing that no negroes be used except on
the trains and on roadbed work. This
warming, it Is said, was ~disregarded
and last week a trainload of negro
workmen was started into. that sec
ton. The train was met by a large
armed body and the frightened ne
groes jumped from the cars through
windows and doors and made their es-
cape.
The matter, it is said, was presented
to the grand jury but so far as can
be learned no indictments were. re-
turned.
