'COURT HOUSE.
Many Candidates Were Absent But
All of Them Sent Letter* of Re
grot.
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.
He: $esired his platform read by the
chairman, but this was not permit
ted by the other candidates.
The candidates for Superintendent
of Education were next, and Mr. S.
R. 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. !
Mr.'Elmore was the next speaker,
and he spoke of how he hoped to
see the education of the state take
a marked advance.
Then came the candidates for Rail
Road Commissioner. Mr. Caughman,
candidate for re-election was the
first. He told of his record in of
fice and of his fight for1 the Jim Crowj
car law.
Mr. C. H. Fishburn was the next
speaker, and he stated that this was
the second time that he had ever
been in the Court House here. He
was here before for the first time to |
pecond the nomination of Samuel
Dibble for the United States Con
? gress. ? He has no ili feeling towards
any of the candidates-, and hopes to
have none during the entire campaign.
" Col.' H. W. Richardson was then
introduced, and he told of his war-|
record, and his experience as a rail
road contractor, and feels tha'. he is
fully capable to fill the office.
Mr. J. A. Summerset was next in
order, and he has been in the rail
road business for 27 years, and was
a candidate at the last election. He
feels that he is well versed in rail
roading, and, could do the state)
much good as a commissioner.
Then came Mr. Kanzler, who is I
well known in this city on account J
of his appearance qn other occasions
for the office of commissioner. His
speech brought forth much applause,
and he says he is the right man for
the office, j
Following these gentlemen came
the candidates for Governor. Hon. C.
L. Biease was the first speaker, and
he said that he hoped his opponent
had been present as he desired to
answer his speech made at St. Mat
thews. He would not, however as
he was absent but that hereafter he
would have questions to ask him.Mr.
Biease said that there were issues in
this campaign, and sighted some of
them, in regard to finances, useless
offices, and tax levys. He also said
that the whiskey question was an
important one, and that he favored
the counties having control of the j
matter in their boundries. They
should determine if they wanted dis
pensaries, prohibition, or license sys
tem. He was not in favor of high
license, however, but a license sys
tern that would compel the' liquor
dealers under the same restrictions
as the dispensary. And that viola
tors be sent to the penitentiary wiih
out a money fine.

SERIOUS CHARGE.
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:

LOYALTY TALK.
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

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.

Bird, Game and Fish Warden, South

was nearly completed when the elder

Wounds In Front.
A Now Englander recently bad occa

ing two applicants appeared, one a de
cidedly decent looking man and the
other of much less prepossessing ap
pearance and manner.
After very' kittle hesitation the man
of the house chose the latter applicant.
A friend wbo was present evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
"Has that man ever worked for you
before?"
"No," replied the other. "In fact, i
never saw either of them before to
day."
"Then why did you choose the short
w man? The other had a much better
face."
*'Face!" explained the proprietor of
the place In disgust. "Let me tell you
that when you pick out n gardener yon
want to go by his overalls. If they're
patched on the knees, you want him;
If the patch is on the seat of the trou
sers, you don't."?Success*
