Opens Headquarters of His Campaign for Governorship. ________ Columbia, Feb. 12.?Mr. Ira B. j Jones, candidate for governor, has gone to work in earnest, to win the fight upon which he entered actively j when his resignation as chief justice took effect just one month ago. He will conduct his campaign from Columbia, and he has opened up headquarters in the Berkeley building, opposite the Richland court house, and has equipped his office there. It is understood to be the intention of Mr. Jones to spend the next few months visiting the different portions of the State, as his long service on the supreme bench, while it has made his name known to and respected by the people, has kept him, apart from active politics and he proposes to get acquainted personally with as many of the voters as possible. On this account largely he will place his headquarters here in charge of a campaign manager and Mr. J. William Thurmond will act in that capacity. Mr. Thurmond is well equipped for the work. He is himself well acquainted throughout the State, and aside from his reputation as a careful and learned lawyer, he is rated as one of the most level headed politicians in the State. ' Mr. Thurmond served in the house of representatives with Mr. Jones, and placed him in nomination for the supreme court, when the then speaker of the house was elected associate justice. Mr. Thurmond afterward served several terms as solicitor of the Fifth circuit, which then embraced the counties of Richland, Kershaw, Lexington, Edgefield and Saluda. He had a number of difficult cases to handle as solicitor and discharged his duty without fear or favor. Since retiring from that office he has been engaged in active practice at Edgefield, his home, and has appeared in several important cases. It will not be long now before the preliminaries of the gubernatorial and other State contests will open up. The precinct club meetings will mark the first stages of the campaign and then will come the county conventions and the State convention in May. Gen. Wilie Jones, who has been chainhan of the State Democratic executive committee for so many years, has reiterated recently -3-X X* X Xl J V ^ ms aetermiuauuii 10 retire, auu xie will not again be a candidate for State chairman. This position is filled by the State executive committee itself, which meets prior to the State convention. v MISS GARDEN IN GREEK TOGS. Singer Will Hereafter Discard Corsets, Shoes and Stockings. Philadelphia, Feb. 7.?Howard Shelly, local press agent for Mary Garden, in response to a letter received from the prima donna, announced that she is about to wear old-time Grecian costumes for both street and house wear, because she has found them so comfortable. Miss Garden had her first experience ' with the Grecian costume in Chicago at a reception in a wonderful silver gauze garment of most diaphanous texture. Beneath the flimsy tunic the songstress wore a white satin robe. She did not wear corsets with the costume, and she writes that she never felt more comfortable. Now she declares she wants to adopt the Grecian styles of a thousand years ago, including bare feet and all the trimmings. She also advises all young women to follow her lead. Boy Killed by Automobile. Elizabeth, N. J., Feb. 9.?Frank W. Denman, a nine-year-old boy, died early to-day from injuries received last evening when he was run down by an automobile while coasting on his sled. The automobile was driven by George Robertson, the automobile racing driver, and in the car was Burton S. Brown, a New Vnrt nowBnanor man The automo * V* xx xxv ?* ***%?? ? ? ?. ^ bile had just turned the corner when Denman on his sled shot suddenly from under a fence which runs along the road and passed in front of the machine. Robertson tried in vain to stop the car, but the wheels passed over the boy's body. Brown and Robertson picked the boy up and carried him to a nearby house and medical aid was summoned. Denman died this morning. Robertson and Brown will be arraigned to-morrow. Twelve Men Killed. Fort Francis, Ont., Feb. 9.? Twelve men are known to have been killed and five injured by a prema ture explosion 01 aynamne 111 a construction camp on the Canadian Northern Railway, near Fort Francis, this afternoon. A number of workers are unaccounted for and some of these may have been killed. The fearful blast blew down into a cut in which many men were working thousands of tons of rock and dirt, burying the helpless workmen alive. \ INTRODUCES TWO NEW BILLS. Representative Lever Author of Measures in National House. Washington, Feb. 11.?Representative A. F. Lever, of South Carolina, has introduced two bills in the house, one to regulate and encourage the use of water power and the other to prevent monopoly of stock grazing ranges in the public domain. The first bill gives the heads of the respective government depart| ments concerned the right to lease power sites and provides for a board, consisting of one member each, appointed by the secretary of war, agriculture, commerce and labor, and the attorney general to pass finally on each lease, which must provide for full development and continuous operation under proper regulations to protect the public interest. Moneys from such leases are to constitute a fund to be expended on rivers and watersheds for the improvement of water power supply, irrigation and navigation. The second bill, which affects an area of amount one-sixth of the United States, provides for the establishment of grazing districts by proclamation of the president, and authorizes the secretary of agriculture to regulate the amount of stock to be grazed annually within districts and the fees, which must not be below one-half cent per acre or more than four cents per acre per annum for the first ten years. Mr. Lever believes that if his bill wdre enacted into law twice as much stock would be grazed on the public range as at present and overcrowding any range would cease. Hearing in Winn Murder Case. Hampton, Feb. 10.?A preliminary hearing in the case of Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wells and Owen Robertson, charged with the murder of young TTT.11 TTT _ X n . ^1. i.* 1 x. n waiaer winn, at recnug, lasi September, was begun here to-day, but after the testimony of three witnesses was adjourned at the request of the prosecution until Tuesday of ne^F week. The State agreed to a reasonable bail for Robertson, which will be arranged at Aiken. Mrs. Wells is qut on a $2,000 bond, granted yesterday by Judge Copes. There was a large crowd present at the hearing, which was conducted by Magistrate J. G. Murdaugh. Interest is keen in the case and when it is taken up again on Tuesday it is expected that there will be even a greater crowd on hand. The7 first witnesses to-day were Drs. T. B. Whatley, of Early Branch; C. A. Rusch, of Hampton, and W. Bovden Nims. the chemist of Golnm bia, who made examination of the stomach of the murdered man in a search for poison. Their testimony ; was the same as that given before the coroner, namely, that there was found a deadly poison in the intestines of the deceased. Probably one of the most sensational bits of testimony adduced was the declaration of T. A. Tindal, who swore that Owen Robertson, one of the defendants, had told him (Tindal) of the following conversation he had with Lillian Winn, wife of the deceased: "Ain't you the man that I hired to kill Walker?" To which Robertson is alleged to have replied, "Shut you mouth." ' e Society Belle Drunk on Street. Atlanta, Feb. 8.?"Play me that DooDim rag, sang Maggie uowan, a peach of a blonde in a stylish dress and picture hat, as she sailed down Peachtree street last night and staggered into the first drug store. Quite a crowd followed to see what next. Maggie gave a wide swipe with her beautifully gloved arm that sent half a dozen bottles of perfumery and hair tonic crashing to the floor; then she pulled her picture hat down at a more rakish angle than ever and began to sing again. By this time it became quite apparent that Maggie was having the time of her life. The only doubtful question was whether it was beer or champagne or whiskey, or all three mixed. After she had entertained the ! crowd for some 10 minutes, a policeman, summoned by the druggist, appeared on the scene. Now, policemen in Atlanta have to know an aw- | ful lot. And this policeman did. He tok one horrified look at Maggie and then he arrested her, did he not? Answer, he did not. He hurriedly whispered something in the druggist's ear, and Maggie was shown to a seat in the rear of the establish- ] ment. Then he hurriedly telephoned for a closed carriage and to another address. When the closed carriage came, the policeman deferentially assisted Maggie inside and had her driven straight to her perfectly respectable home on avenue. This little story is exactly true, except. for one detail. The inebriated lady's name was not Maggie Cowan. If her real name was used, it would make a better story. If you owie us anything, remember that we need the money and expect prompt settlement. 1 < BLEASE AND GRACE HAVE SPLIT. Their Political Friendship is Now at an End. The political friendship that has existed between Mayor Grace and Gov. Blease is at an end. No statement for publication regarding the breaking off of relations has been made by either party, but that a rupture has come appears to be a fact. There has been talk for. some weeks of a break in the alliance that meant so much to Blease when he was running for governor, and these rumors were confirmed on Thursday night, when Mayor Grace, in a speech at the German Rifle Club ball, told his hearers that a year ago they had had promises made to them and had found them to be promises only. Although the mayor mentioned no names, few who heard the speech or who read the report of it in the News and Courier the next day doubted that the promises referred to were those made by Gov. Blease. As a further confirmation of the rumors of a rupture comes the fbport from Columbia that the mayor while in the Capital City recently had criticised the governor severely. No statement could be secured from Mr. Grace regarding the matter the mayor preferring to remain silent for the present at any rate. Nor could any statement be had from Gov. Blease regarding the rupture. That the trouble either arose in or culminated in the governor's actions in connection with the dispensary constables here is the common belief. The constables, some of them at any rate, worked against Candidate Grace in the recent municipal campaign, the report being that they had been instructed from Columbia to do so.?Charleston News and VUUUCl, MAY GET FREEiX)M SOON. President Expected to Grant Pardon \ in Remarkable Case. Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 11.?Favorable action by President Taft on a petition for pardon, which is confidently expected by the officials of the federal penitentiary here, will release, probably some time this month, Thomas Bram, one of the most unique prisoners in the prison. Bram was a sailor and was convicted, in 1896 in Boston, of the murder of his captain and two others on the high seas. He always has proclaimed his innocence and, according to Warden Moyer and other omciais or the prison, his record there bears out this claim. In all the 15 years of his imprisonment he never has givfen way to fits of despair, he spends his time ministering to others and has become noted for his cheerful smile. This, it is said, is extremely unusual even for short time prisoners. The sailor has made several efforts to regain his freedom.- Recently he eplisted the aid and sympathy of Attorney Dan W. Rountree, o? Atlanta, who, after a thorough investigation, i placed his case before the attorney general and the president. The crime for which Bram is serving a life sentence was committed on the night of July 13, 1896, wl^ile Bram was in charge of the night watch. After the discovery of the murders, Bram had a sailor named Brown placed in irons, charged with the crime. . This man, it was claimed, accused Bram and the crew also placed him in irons and carried both to Boston, where the trial was held, resulting in Bram's conviction. In reopening the case the fact is brought out that Charles Brown, the seaman first accused, once was confined in an insane asylum because of a maniacal outburst. This, together with Bram's remarkable conduct for 15 years, is made the basis of the petition for pardon. Express Companies' Earnings. Washington, Feb. 8.?Frank L.yon, attorney for -the interstate commerce commission, has submitted to that body as a part of the investigation into express rates an exhibit showing the total receipts and earnings of these concerns since their organization. In arriving at its decision the commission will be guided largely by these figures. For the period covered- the total gross receipts of the Adams, American, Wells-Fargo, Southern, United States, Great Northern, Globe and National Express companies was $795,306,721, of which $397,653,860.50 was paid to the railroads as their share. The net profits of the express companies was $294,043,285, and the total dividends paid by them was $212,985,392. These enormous earnings were made on property now valued by the companies themselves at only $26,065,711. The nine companies hold in their treasury $81,957,989, de ? a J:..; rivea rrom overcaarges auu uividends due stockholders who have not called for them.
