COURT HOLDS SINULEIOY | MIST GIVE WAY ^ Former Governor Could Not Appoint For the Full Term When i.n f Election Intervened. The State, 17th. L. M. Gasque was held yesterday by the supreme court to be tf:e solicitor of the Twelfth judicial circuit, in an opinion written by Chief Justice Gary and concurred in by all of the jus** T? 1Q19 Wo Hot- W Wp-11s WAS I i LC ^ X 11 ir Uf* VVA f f elected solicitor for the circuit for a term of four years. He died in January, 1913, and on February 4 a former governor appointed L. B. Singleton, of Horry county, to fill out the unexpired term. L. M. Gasque was elected in the general election of 1914 and was later commissioned by tlbe governor. Mr. Singleton refused to give up the office, claiming that ne nau been appointed for the unexpired term of four years. An appeal was filed in t?e supreme court and a decision was given that the governor has no right to appoint for a full unexpired term when a session of the general assembly or a general election intervenes. Tne court declares that it would be asainst the letter and the spirit of the constitution to hold that the appointment of the governor should be in force after the office had been filled by a general election in the manner prescribed by the constitution. "It is manifest that the legislature did not intend to confer upon the governor power to appoint a solicitor for such a lengtih of time as would extend hpvrvnd th? first general election held after the (vacancy occurred," says the supreme court.

Thaw himself refused to' night to comment on the court's action. Thje opinion of the appellate vision was written by Justices Hotch-' k:ss and Scott. Justices Mclaughlin, Oiark :and Ingraham concurred. The principal part o: the opinion i reads.: No Obligation to Thaw. j "The State assumed no obligation i to return the appellant to New Hamp; shire when his trial should have been ; ended. No such obligation is sug| gested and e<.en if there -ad *oeon an I expressed condition attached to the i rendition of Tt aw, it is doubtful l? it j would have had any validity." The (opinion says it may be that the t j State would well be rid of so trouble- . some a guest, but that it is not a matter of judicial consideration. The matter to consider, the opinion continues, is t:.e right of Thaw to be [ discharged from Matteawan. It states ti e outstanding committal of Thaw Pe- % mains in force and the court therefore declares 'he had no right to leave Matteawan. ^ DEATH OF OLD SOLDIER . ^ FORMERLY OF NEWBERRY \ Mr. Herman 1.4 nil Chambers died at 10:45 o'clock Friday morning at the Old Soldier's home in Columbia, oi; Which place he had been an inmate for about a year. He was 65 years old and was commonly known as Harm CJ ambers. His brother, Mr. John B. Chambers, who is generally called "Jack, the old soldier," was in bed sick wThen he got the telegram from Columbia ( telling him of his brother's deaf.:, ana asking wl at disposition must be made of the body. The "old soldier' is 71 years of age, tired and feeble, in poverty and want. From his bed o: illness he could do no more than tell the authorities of the Confederate :o:ne to b:?ry the body cf his brother in Columbia, unless trey should hear to the contrary from any of his surviving near relatives in Augusta, the deceased having ttree married daughters in that city. His son. Will, was killed in Warrenville, Ga.. about a year ago, by having : is throat cut. i, Herman Aull Chambers was a son of the late Thomas D.

Say That I'ntll He Keveats Secret 01 Aladero's Death His Innocc-iice Must Be Challenged. New York, April 17.?Until Gen. Huerta unseals cis lips and clears up the question of who was responsible for the death of Francisco 1. Madero, it will be impossible :or law aoiamg and peaceable citizens of Mexico to accept Gen. Huerta as their leader or spokesman, says a signed statement issued I ere today by three former ministers in Madero's cabinet. They are Pedro JLascuram, Kaiaei l,. nernandez and Ernesto Madero. The statement was issued in reply to one by Gen. Huerta in which he 'denied responsibility for Madero's "execution," saying i'"o knew vhj was responsible, but was keeping it "as a professional secret of a soldier." "On the day following the murder of Madero," reads ihe statement. "Huerta, througi his man. Mr. Delakarra, explained it as the result of a fight between the escort that v;as taking Mr. Madero to the prison and ft is own followers, who tried to rescue him. Some time afterward, one of the Huerta ministers Mr. I,ozano, said that the trutJ'i was that Mr. Madero had been assassinated by Felix Diaz. Now Huerta, rejecting explicitly both official explanations, speaks of some professional secret that he can not reveal. Rotable Reticence. "We are now compelled to express our profound admiration for tine notable reticence which leads Mr. Huerta to endure further undeserved odium for the reputed responsiouity ior President Madero's death, wf:en Dy only a word he could prove not only his complete Innocence, but his historic greatness. Unfortunately, the bond of honor w:'~ich he says seals his lips makes it impossible, until tin's matter is fully cleared up, for t'~e law abiding and peace loving citizens of Mexico to accept Mr. Huerta as ? ^3 r-v ?. /N -V? nrvr?l'QpmOn 99 L-Jtfll Ifciuri Ul jpuncoiiiuu. Gen. Huerta's attacks on the Madero government are declared in the statement to be "false and slandp-ons." His various charges that Mndsro brought on the revolution whicVi placed i':ira in pov.*er through ti' e help of liberated criminals, that he annihilated the union, destroyed the credit of the country, prostituted the discipline of the army and dissipated the surplus of t' e treasury are taken up in detail and countercharges made in the refutation. All Bnt Pacified. "At t;ve time that Huerta treacher ously overturned the Madero government Mexico was well nigh pacified," the three former ministers declare. "There was only one source of un- j rest, and if the civil war started again and has continued for more tfran two rears; that must be attributed to Huerta's usurpation of power. "Tt is fa'se that the Madero at'min Istration annihilated tfte national union. <\H the time of the downfall r>f that administration the government, dominated the whole country, condolled all its ports, botr* maritime and Hioca An fhp hnrdpr. Annihilation of our union came as a result of the treason t":at culminated in Mr. Huerta's rise in power, because honest men who could not approve of such 1 usurpation of the presidency revolted against the usurper and the country j was again thrown into unrest. "Ti'e statement made by Huerta lhat the Madero government prosti tuted the discipline of the Mexican j army is surprising from the Hps of the man that as the head of the army j committed treason against the. goven- ; men W.ich appointed him for its de- i fense."

IliUlIJ UI UUIiCdl UlllLZUZl __ *5 Some time ago I began the use of your Swamp-Root with tft-e most remarkable results. For years I was almost a wreck and was a great sufferer. I was so bad at times I would faint away and had sinking spells. Finally a new doctor was called in and he said that I had kidney trouble and gave me medicine, of whicn I took scvi eral bottles. I obtained some relief I from this, but 1 was getting weaker' | all the time; I could not sleep and sut| fered so much pain that my husband, and children had to lift me in and out of bed. After this time two friends sent me word to try Swiimp-Rool, which I did, and I am glad to state that t' e first dose gave me great relief. After taking the third dose I was helped into bed and slept half of the night. I took several bottles of Swamp-Root and I feel that I owe my life to tuis wonderful remedy. The two family doctors said that I could not liv* three mont's. I would have to bo helped in and out of bed ten to twentytimes every night. After taking Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root for two days I was entirely free from getting up and could sleep soundly. MRS. D. E. HILEMA'X, Tunnelton, W. Va. .
