probable that tiLe race for governor will be fought out between Governor 1 Blease and Chief Justice Jones--both natives of Newberry, and one now at the head of the executive department of the government and the other at the: head of the judicial department Of the govrnment. Chief Justice Jones lived in Newberry until he was abou,,t 24 years of age, when he moved to _n-i caster. There are no doubt others be sides Chief .ustice .sones who won like to oppose Governor Blease, but they will in all probability be kept: out of the race by the cry of the nec essity of concentrating ipon one man to overwhelm the Blease forces. Th ft seems to b- the slogan which is now .baeing urged. leports were going the rounds that Mr. John G. Richards and ex-Lieuteant Governor McLeod and possibly others would be in the race, but unless conditions change it is hardly probable that they can stand the present hue and cry. The kesignation of Chief Justicel Jones will make another vfacancy on the supreme bench. A constitutional admendent ratified by the people in the election last year increased the number of supreme court justices from four to fire, but the last legislature,, becoming deadlocked on the election of the fifth justice, aclourned without electing, postponing the election until the next session. Circuit Judges R. C. Watts, of Cheraw, and R. W.- Mem min<ger, of Charleston, and Represen tative T. B. Fraser, of Sumter, were the principal candidates in that race. T is altogether vrobable that one of the preelt associate justices will be -ronmoted to the position of chief jus-i tic= >acated bv Chief Justice Jones,' Pn. as Associate Justice Eugene B. Gary, of Abbeville. is the senior asso elate justice, the chlnces seem largely, to favor his e*ection as chief justice. As.isQTte Tustice C. A. Woods, of Ma rion. however. has been endorsed by the bar of his. home town, and Assoj ciae .T,tice Hydrick, of Spartanburg, has been mentioned in the press as a ennia+e who is %eInz ureed. Now ever this may be, there will be two place- to ,be filled on the supreme bench, and as it is altogether probable that one of the associate justices will be chosen to take Chief Justice Jones' -place-as stated. Associate Justice Gary, in all likelihoo't-th1e next legis lature will have the choosing of two associate justices upon its hands. As there are for practically all the offices to be filled in South Carolina, there are a number of- candidates be i,--\ng urged for these two supreme court positions. With an additional place to be filled, it seems hardly probable that there will be any more can didates for! the position for wh'ch Judge Watts, Judge Memminger and Re)resentative Fraser are candida%es. Fo:r the other position the names w'hen have beer. mentioned are numerous, inclading several of the present circuit judges. Among .them Judge Thos. S. Sease, of Newberry. Attorney W. 0. Miller, of' Charleston, and others, are also being urged by their friends. - At the coming session of the legis lature the terms of Judge Robert Ald-. rich, of the second circuit; Judge J. W. DeVore, .of,f the eleventh, circuit, and Judge S. .". G. Shipp, of the twelftd1 circuit, expire; so that it' will be necessary for the legislature to en .ter into the election of~three circuit judges. There are many other ,offices to be filled 'in the primary next sum .mer, and the indications are tnat there will be sonme hot contests for some of the offices less important than gover -nor and UTnited States senator. Sizing up the whole :situation, it seems that the next legislature and the people of the State generally next ~summer will haV'e contests of sufficient number and heat-to satisfy the m'ost ardent politicians. SDAT OF MIRACLES NOT PASSED. -Woman 70 Years Old Growing New Set of Teethi-Nrs. L. C. McQuinn, of Gai?ney. Gaffney, Sept. 15.- t has been said that the day of miraels s is past, but it~ *would seem that somet'ing near to a: miracle has actually con.e to pass in Gaiffney. This statement a ~ay seem to be rather remgrkable, but the follow ing is a remarkable conditior of af fairs. The bare fact, plamnly stated, is that Mrs. L. C. McQuinri, who lives on Limestone street, 70 years and sc me months old, without -teeth for fbur teen years, is now growing a full set; of good teeth. A reporter yesterday went to the home of Mrs. McQuinn, and asked con-1 cerning the teeth. "Granny7* as the, old lady is known, stated most em phatically, when questioned by 'the re porter, that she was indeed growing some new teeth, and when some doubt; was expressed by the news-gatherer, Granny very obligingly opened her mouth and sk6wed eight fully develop ed teeth. The swoiten condition of th gums seemed to indicate that still more were on the way, and all indica tions are that she will shortly have a full set. "Granny" stated that she discov ered the coming of her teeth while in a hospital in Norfolk, Va., where shE was undergoing treatment. She stated that the pains began to manifest them selves and on one occasion she asked the attending physician to examine hei mouth and see just what the troublE was. The doctor did so'and announc ed to "Granny'' that, she was aga1 growing some teeth. "Gran ny" with charming naivete, stated tha n1 one could understand the pain thai litte children had to undergo whilc cutting teeth until they passed througi an experience sinilar to hers. The case is said to be without a pa ralle], and certain it is that such a one has never been brought to ligh in Cherokee county. MRS. JULIA MITTLE DEAD.

O~fficial Count Gives 184 Majority Against Prohibition. -Portland, Me., Sept. 14.-An appa rent majority of i.3m votes for repeal of the liquor prohibitory amendmentl of the Maine constitutio;1 was an lounced in an official statement issed tonight by Secretary of St&te Davis as the outcome of Moiday's election. The secretary's report is based on signed returns from town clerks) Certain discrepancies, which indi ate errors by town officials in re turning the vote, are not taken into account in the secretary's report. These discrepancies are declared by Leaders of the anti-repeal side to be sufficient to change the result to a 'dry" majority. Only the canvass of the vote by the governor and council later can adjusi any discrpancies of this sort. Press returns compiled in this city indicated tonight a "dry", majority of 356, taking into account the alleged discrepancies in towns clerks' reports. TAFT ON SPEAKING TOUR.

BIGGEST ROBETI?Y ON R,EC41 . Montreal Bank Roimed of $315,000 Big Safe Wrecked. Westminster, B. C.,-Sept. 15.-Threa robbers, who took $315,000 enry today ifrom the Bank of Montreal's local branch and thereby perprtrated the hlrgest "successful" safe-blowing re corded in America, are believed to be hiding tonight in Vaicouver. B. C., awaiting the chance to dispose of Their booty undetected. D3ank officials assert all bills takkn by the bandits were new ; and were of large denominations and that their serials are recorded at the bank. The gold taken can not be trac ed so directly. Besides timing the robbery to match the visit of the night watchman, it de veloped today that the trio selected a time when the bank's cash supply was far above normal, for the financing of salmon shipments of the canning sea son now closing. Use of Odd Lenglns in Lumber. Washington, D. C. Sept.-The inves tigation carried on last year by the United States dep.-ment of aricul-l ture, cooperating wit lumber manu facturers in the South, to determine the saving that can be effected by us ing odd lengths 0: Iumr r as well as even, has begun to bear fruit. That investigation showed that a material saving was practicable, and at a re cent meeting of a Southern lumber m 3nanufACturlers' as4ociation the fact was brought out that a beginning has been made in putting the new plan into practice, and that an increase in the sale of odd lengths is anticipated Afor the near future. It was formerly the custom, and generally is so still, to sell lumber in even lengths only. Waste resulted from cutting off the ends of odd lengths to make thein even. A consid erable percentage of a sawmill's out put is defective. That is, boards have had knots, decayed spots, or split ends, and the defective parts are cut out. To make an even length of what remains, it is often necessary to cut off a foot of good wood with the ba'd, and it is wasted. The practice of marketing odd lengths as well as even is meant to lessen this waste. ,The sale of odd lengths of lumber will frequently les sen waste in the woods also: for ex amu]e, a log may be c1:t fifteen i.eet long which, following the old custom would be cut only~ fourKeen and the ~extra. feet ,would be left in: the woods. The introguction /of odd lengths meets with oppositon from many builgers who are i rejLdiced in favot of eten lengths simply because they have neVer used aniy other kind. Nev erdthleless, there are many places in which odd lengths are more economi cal than even ones-for instance, where nine-foot studding is used. Fol lowing former custom, the ends must be cut from even lengths to make the timbers fit.
