The second campaign meeting of the candidates for State offices was held here yesterday in the Cou~t House. There was about 350 ... sent to hear the speakers. Hon. Robt. Lide presided over the meet ing. The meeting was opened with prayer by the 'Rev. L. P. McGee, after which the speakers were in troduced. The following account of the meeting is Clipped from The Evening News. Mr. Lide welcomed the candidates | on behalf of the city, and assured them of a careful consideration of their views on the various public questions. The candidates for Comptroller j General were the first to be introduc ed, and Mr. Jones was the first speaker yesterday morning. He told, of his views on equalizing the taxes, and of what he had fought for dur ing his term in office. The next candidate to speak was Mr. Brooker, but he was not pres ent, and a letter from him was read.

Mellichamp was the first speak- j er. He said that he did not intend to make his regular campaign speech here, although he did make some remarks as to what he stood for mainly, among which was his op position to a needless change of| text- books in the county schools: Mr. Swearington was the next speaker for this office and he told of j what he hoped to accomplish in I straightening out the present sys tem of education in the state. !

YOUNG MAN CHARGED WITH HAVING TWO WIVES. Warrant Sworn Out Against Him at Aikon for Alleged Bigaiay is Serv ed at Orangebarg?Deniev Charge. A dispatch from Aiken to The Newt- and Courier says: Mrs. Geor ge M. Ttealvey of Macon. Ga., was in Aiken Tuesday afternoon, and lie fore her departure bad a warrant issued for the arrest of her husband. George M. Stalvey, on the charge of bigamy. Mrs. Stalvey is a hand some woman and appears very re > fined. She says that sh* heard that her husband had been married to another woman some time ago ami she came to Aiken to confirm the report. It was found upon investi gation that on April 18 last Stalvey and Miss Etta Lightfoot, of? Orange burg, came here and were married by the Rev. Phillip j. McLean at the Baptist parsonage. The couple left at once and had not been heard from here until to-day. An article appeared in the Au gusta Chronicle Tuesday morning in which it was stated that Mrs. Stalvey had horsewhipped her husband in Harlem. Ga, for his alleged deser tion. She said here however, that he had never deserted her. She says that the report as to the whipping; is not true, but that they were at Har lem Monday. She says that her hus band is a traveling man, and that he has never been away from her more than a few days at a time, and that she has always had the most implicit confidence in him. Several days ago "her suspicion were aroused and she telegraphed her husband in Augusta to come to her at once, assigning no reason." He replied that he could not come at that time. She then telephoned him, but says that he refused to answer the call. She says that Stalvey final ly confessed to the fact that he was married to another woman and ask ed that she forgive him and that he would desert his last wife, who was Miss Lightfoot, and would take her (the first Mrs. Stalvey) and go to Colorado and forget the incident. To this however, she would not con sent and began to look for confirma tion of the statement. When she arrived in Augusta she told the de tectives about it and they are on the lookout for him. Mr*. Stalvey is well educated and is an interesting conversationalist. She left her husband in Harlem and she at once came to Augusta, where she heard that he had been married in Aiken, and she rame here and confirmed the report. She says that she has been married to him for five years. She was a Mrs. Meigs before marriage, and was married to Stal vey at Myrtle Beach, S. C. Miss Light foot comes from one of the most pro minent families in Orangeburg. Mr. Stalvey is also a member of a prom inent family. Mrs. Stalvey is de termined to have him brought to justice and Sheriff Dukes, of Or angeburg, was communicated with and asked to have Stalvey placed under arrest if there. Arrested in Orangeburg. George M. Stalvey was arrested in Orangeburg Wednesday morning, charged -with bigamy, the warrant having been sworn out at Aiken by a woman who alleges that Stalvey was married to her previous to his recent marriage to a young lady of this city. No difficulty whatever was experienced in serving the warrant. Stalvey states that although he has known his accuser for several years, he was never married to her, and he says that he is confident that he can produce conclusive evidence to show that she is not his wife. He says that the woman, who he alleges desired to become his wife, threat ened to make his life a burden to him in the event that he married an other. He says also that he believes that this is only a plot to injure him and to bring unhappiness to his wife. Stalvey was married on April IS, last, to Miss Etta Lightfoot, of this city. The ceremony was performed in Aiken by the Rev. Phillip J. Mc Lean. Notices of the mtyriage ap peared in the local papers and there was no apparent attempt on the part of Stalvey to surround theh affair with secrecy. He is apparently sur prised that two months later such a serious charge should be brought against him. Further investigation are being conducted and further developments ate expected in the next few days. The accused has .retained Messrs Wolfe & Berry as counsel. Not Placed in Jail. Mr. Sta'vey has not bsm placed in jail on atv.?unl of nDt sutcient evidence b^'r.g secured He is still in the city, and will re main here until the matter has been entirely cleared up. or the proof has been made out against him that the allegations made by the woman said to be his first wife, can be sub stantiated. Mr. W. Hampton Dukes a brother in-law of Miss Lightfoot, left for Aiken Wednesday morning to inves tigate the matter. He returned to the city and said that he was un able to secure sufficient proof to lodge the accused man in jail. But he said that he still had the matter under investigation, .and he1 left Thursday for Myrtle Beach where it is stated, by the woman in Aiken that the marriage took place the first time. The woman stated, so it is alleg ed, that she was married to Stalvey at this place, and that he ceremony was performed on he pizza of a fisherman's lodge. The name of the fisherman, it is stated, she was un able to remembber, and that he was the only witness to the ceremony. Mr. Dukes has gone to Myrtle Beach to investigate the matter there and will return as soon as he has PLAYING BALL. The Orangeburg Team Hast Now Won | Three Out of Four Games. Orangeburg has played four games this week, winning three and loosing one. This is playing ball. The team has been greatly strength ened and mean to take all the games that come their way. If she keeps up as she has started this week ttt will not be long before she will climb up the per cent, column. Tuesday's Game. Haser, a Rock HER cast-off, de feated that team Tuesday afternoon in a beautiful game: Ha fact, Haser was the whole cheese. He allowed only five hits, struck out nine and walked but ohe, and then batted them some, getting three safties out of four times up. Rock Hin tied the score in the sixth, and in: the ninth, after two were , down made another. And then in Orangeburg's half with two down, none on base and the game apparently lost, Clancey walk ed one and hit another. Then it was Haser that won his own game, get ting a two-bagger after two' strikes were called. It was a high?y ex citing game. The following Zs the, box score: ROCK HILL.

OKLAHOMA PAPER HAM3IERS HOT SPARKS FROM ANVIL. Hovr Can You Preach: Patronage of Home Industries When You Ruy Yonr Printing From Klsewhere. Some- hot sparks ?.f< struck right off the anV bt the7 Morning Phenlx of Muskoge*r Okla.. for the benefit of the home trade movement. The Phoenix, which knows the value of a good news paper to a towu, Is a-weary of seeing local concerns send to other and! larger cities for job" printing work when Mus kogee's two biggest industries are printing offices. Nearly every town in the country has more or less reason to complain of a> similar tendency upon the part of some- of those who expect the local papers- to boom the burg from year to year and; then buy their print ing from some establishment else where. What the Phoenix says, ?r most of it at any rate, is applicable-to almost any tbvyn> in America. The Phoenix heads its editorial remarks "Town Loyalty:"' ? "In its battle for the town or city ini which it Is published every newspaper worthy of the name makes a hobby of insisting that home- industries be pat ronized; and issue after issue labors for an additional tin bucket brigade and. gives more of its space to the public than it sells to Its advertisers. In sea son and out it works for new indus tries and gives aid! and comfort in every way possible- to those establish ments that have the'weekly pay roll to meet, and its slogan of 'Patronize Home Industries'Is never silent. , "True of publishers in other places, this is also true of those operating printing establishments in Muskogee, and in view of the existing condition^ here the Phoenix desires to make a few brief statements and then ask sev? eral pertinent questions. Next to the government and railroad pay rolls, two of the printing plants of this city are the largest establishments in the city." These establishments- are the best ad vertising assets the- city has or ever had and bring more people to Musko gee than all other Influences combined These establishments pay large taxed Into the city treasury and annually are the cause of more wealth being added to the city than any other industries : operated here. The working forces ot ' these plants are union men?linotype operators, printers, stereotypere and pressmen?and are paid the union sca^e and work union hours. Most of the employees have their homes here, and** ail of them spend their weekly wagd In Muskogee. So much for the few statements. Now a question or two. "Why do the city officials, the judl ciaf officials and the officials of the In terior department all ciuzens of Mus kogee, buy from traveling men repre senting Kansas City, St Louis, Gal veston and Dallas bouses printers' sup plies that could be purchased of the local printing establishments? "Why do the banks of Muskogee send away from home for their sta tionery, all of which could be supplied by or through the local Arms at the same price they now pay? * "Why will elective county and city officials pat the local labor unions on the back and then send their orders for office supplies to a Dallas firm working only women and children and nonunion men? "\vliy will the men who most of all depend upon local support for business, the bankers, the lawyers and the elec tive officials, persist in ignoring the lo cal establishments aud buying their supplies out of town and continue to howl about patronizing home Indus tries? "How many local officials are elected by out of town votes? "How long would the seven or eight banks of Muskogee continue In busi ness If that business was confined to their out of town customers? "How much taxes are paid In Mus kogee by the Dorsey Printing compa ny of Dallas, or George D. Barnard of St. Louis, or Clark & Courts of Galves ton? "What have they ever done for this city that entitles them to a line of busi ness such as would add twenty or thir ty men to the city pay rolls if given to the printerles of this city? "Why would It not be a good idea for some of the Muskogee men who send their- money away from home for of fice supplies to get a new motto and hang it over their desks, reading. 'Pat ronize Home Industries,' and the next time the out of town drummer comes along point to the motto and tell him there is nothing doing? Either this should be done or they should not pose as town boosters or critics of the anvil chorus." Suggestion From a Fan. Editor "Times and Democrat." Dear Mr. Editor:?I know you en joy seeing a good game of base ball. If you have a last Wednesday's (June 10th) Issue of "The State." you will see tinder tho heading "Dope" (Base Ball Comments) the following item: "Cut out those personal remarks to the visiting players. Starts in fun. but might go wrong." Now. Mr. Editor, I think the attention of our "Fans" should be called to this suggestion. Not so much that any thing might go wrong, but it is so annoying to the greater number of the attendance at the games. Particularly the. way they sling abusive aud almost insulting remarks at the Umpire. It does no good and I think is inclined to count against us. It. is human nature to retatiate. unless the Umpire is infal liable. 1 think also it is inclined to cut off the attendance because I have beard several remarks from Base Ball enthusiasts that, they did not care to go to the games when these, uncalled for remarks, are so persistently kept up. Can't you through your columns give a hint to our fans to "cut it out." Let them 'root" all they can or want to. but io it in a more pleasant and effec tive way. Monday afternoon's game was only a mild sample. ....... ^ "A Fan." I THE FISH LAW. Copy of the Law Which Prevents Trapping in tbe Edisto. Editor of The Times and Democrat: The Auduhon Society, of South Carolina, which is chartered upder the laws of the State and ciothed with power for enforcing the bird, game and fish laws, has information that there is a number of fish traps in the Edisto river; a great number. It appears from information in the posessttion of the society that many people think trapping fish is sot against the laws of South Carolina in tiMs Connty. This is a mistake. It is against the laws and the offense is a serious one, for the penalty for violation is a fine of $200 or imprisonment for from three to six months, or both fine and imprisonment in the discre tion of the court. That part or Sec tion 517, of the criminal code, of South' Carolina, which covers the case is quoted below. It will be seen that trapping, netting and sei'gning are equally against the law and pun ishable1 by the same fine and im prisonment. Here is the section re ferred to, the latter part of section 517: "And there shall be a close time in all the creeks, streams and inland waters or the State, from the set ting of the sun each Thursday until the rising of the sun on each Mon day, during which time all seines, nets, or any plan or device for the) stoppage' or collecting of fish which obstructs any portion of any creek, stream, or inland waters, other than a dam \for manufacturing purposes, shall be removed from said creeks, streams, or inland waters; and any person using* any such seine, net plan or device in violation of the provisions of this section shall be deemed guilty a misdemeanor,and upon conviction thereof before any court of competent jurisdiction shall be fined in the sum of Two Hundred Dollars, one-half of which shall go to the informer and the other half to the courts in which the case shall be tried', or be imprisoned for a period: of not less than three nor more than six months, or both in the discretion) of the court trying the case. Nothing herein contained shall apply to fishing with dip nets used by hand." Now this section is perfectly clear and inasmuch as the traps in the river have not been removed before sundown Thursday the parties using same are violating the criminal laws of the State: Where, I now call on all good cit izens to see that this law is enforc ed by complying with it themselves and by compelling others to comply with it. All parties who immediately com ply with the Taw will be free of prose cution for past offenses and the evi dence the society has will not be used against them; but the com pliance must be immediate. If it is not. then the society wnl use every lawful means to have offenders fined and imprisoned. In the same connection is may be said that the courts of the country, up to the supreme court of the Unit ed States have declared that there is no private ownership of fish or game; that game in preserves and fish in a private pond are still the property of the State. Hence a man may not violate game or fish laws, even on his own premises. The reported use of dynamite in the cointy is also a grave^ffense agamst the criminal laws "and any party found guilty of so doing is liable to a fine of One Hundred Dol lars and six months on the chain gang, either or both.
