Evidently he is unhappy in his marriage, but we cannot help him. We do not want a divorce law for this State, consequently his article is not published. If he wants and needs a divorce so badly, there are other States besides South Carolina where he can five and get a separation if he wants rit. Just as we predicted last week on learning of the resignation of Judge James Aldrich, there will be a lively t;\ scramble for the position of judge of . the second circuit. Solicitor Jas. E. Davis, of Barnwell, is squarely in the race, while Robt. Aldrich, Senator Geo. H. Bates, and B. T. Rice, all of Barnwell, are considering the matter. Claude E. Sawyer, of Aiken, is also a probable candidate. The Herald has no candidate so far, and )may not have one. The entries are not closed, however, and it may be j?-r that some good lawyer of the Bam||g berg bar will offer. Sunday Liquor Selling Attacked. fc Chicago, Nov. 30.?Clubs, hotels, dancing parties and social organiza I : tkms of all kinds are to be the next to feel the lash of the Law and Order league. The warfare that was begun last week against the sale in sa; loons on Sunday will be extended to exclude all the bars in the city. The Union league, of which Emory S. Walker, attorney for the Law and Order league, is a member, is the first club that will be attacked. The firs Sunday bar in a hotel to be attacked will be the Pompeian room in the Auditorium Annex. Because of the greater difficulty in getting evidence against the clubs | the saloons were attacked first. In ^ the sorties to be made in the future by the league's investigators the barrooms in clubs in fashionable ?;l: hotels will be brought under the lime-light. "I belong to one club myself, the Union league," said Mr. Walker, ij . "but no favors are to be shown to any violators of the Sunday laws." It is the plan of the Law and Order league to investigate without dis|v crimination every place in which vio lation of the law is suspected. Candidate for Judgeship. Barnwell, Nov. 28.?There have Ely, heen no other candidates announced from the Barnwell bar for the vaeancy caused by the resignation of Judge James Aldrich of Aiken. Solicitor Davis made known that he /would be in the race yesterday mid it was also rumored that it was very probable that Colonel Robert "Aldrich, Senator George H. Bates and B. T. Rice, Esq., would be in the race. These gentlemen were seen by your correspondent today and expressed themselves as follows: Senator Bates said that he could sot state that he would be in the race at present: that he thought this . especially was a position which should seek the man and not the man the position; that if the demand for him to enter the race was general enough throughout the State that he would become a candidate from a sense of duty to his State. Col, Aldrich stated that he was in receipt of a number of letters from friends throughout the circuit and State urging him to enter the race for the position. He could not state 1 l_ ? at present, nowever, wneuier ue would offer himself or not. If his friends throughout the circuit and State desired him to hold the place he might offer for election but that he would not enter into a heated campaign for the position. B. T. Rice, Esq., when asked about his candidacy stated that at presenthe could not make a definite statement. Pressure is being brought to bear apon him to enter the race and he now has the matter under consideration. Supreme Court Doings.

V * INDIAN CHIEF CARVED IN ROCK Unique Monument For a Battleground In Kentucky. To stand as long as the roeks themselves James Andrew Scott is having a colossal figure of an Indian chief in full battle array carved out of a solid pinnacle of rock overlooking his "Indian rock camp" out on the waters of Elkhorn creek, about five miles from Frankfort, Ky., on the Peak's Mill pike, says the Louisville Courier Journal. Not only will the commanding figure of the aboriginal chieftain stand as a unique and picturesque landmark through future years, but it will prove a monument to an incident in the early history of Kentucky intimately and directly connected with the settlement of the Frankfort section of the state J ?l*'-u olmsvcrf llnHor tho a LIU W JLlXCll vwv-uiiuu uuuvi. VMV shadow of the rock out of which the Indian figure will be hewn. It was on the site of Mr. Scott's "camp," as he calls his delightful summer retreat, that the celebrated Cook massacre occurred in the days when Kentucky was in reality a "dark and bloody ground," and afterward one of the bravest of the chiefs of the attacking red men met his death on the massive rock whence the camp takes its name. Pola Rossak, who was one of the Austrian sculptors engaged in the carving of the magnificent pediment to the new capltol, has been engaged by Colonel Scott for this work and has already began bis preparations. Mr. Scott*8 place is in a deep recess between two overhanging cliffs, and It is on the eastern pinnacle that the figure of the Shawnee chief is to be made. Arrangements are also being made to have a series of Indian figures made to take a place in a natural niche which is found in the western pinnacle and which will add much to the pieturesqueness of the effect FLOATING REPAIR SHOP. Part the Panther Will Play In the Pacific Fleet's Cruise. One of the vessels destined to play an important part in the coming cruise of Uncle Sam's sixteen battleships to the Pacific coast is the auxiliary transport Panther, now at the New York navy yard, says the Washington Star. She is to be speedily equipped as a repair ship to accompany the fleet When the Panther's full equipment of machinery is installed, which work it is expected will be completed a few days before the fleet is scheduled to sail from Hampton Roads, her force of a Dour iw macninists ana arusa.ua wiu be able to do almost any kind of repairs that may be needed by the ships of the squadron. The ship's forward between decks will contain, besides a fully equipped foundry and coppersmith's plant five lathes of various sizes, a good sized planer for castings, plate and pipe bending and punching machines, a 250 pound steam hammer and three ordinary coal burning blacksmith's forges, served by electric fans. Aft on the main deck there will be installed a complete compressed air system for serving the pneumatic tools in the machine shop and foundry, and there will be pipe leads for fuel oil; also portable burners for melting brasses and white HAinl UiCUU. On the deck below, abaft the engine room, the space which was formerly the ship's machine shop Is being fitted as'a foundry, and the space under It Is to be used as a storeroom for supplies and pig metal. A one ton Whiting cupola will be installed, as well as a Schwartz rotary, fuel oil, brass melting furnace and a Best crucible oil furnace to melt iron or brass. The vessel will also be provided with a wireless telegraph plant Everglades Exploration. New explorations by Dr. John K. Small of a hitherto unexplored portion of the Florida Everglades and of a group of islands adjoining them have produced Interesting and in some respects unexpected results, says the Youth's Companion. The islands are inhabited by American and tropical flora and the Everglades about them by many northern plants of a wholly different character. Dr. Small thinks that the Everglades were formerly covered with a shallow sea. At that time - - A ? 1 the islands acquired tneir tropical plants. Afterward the sea bottom slowly rose, and the plants of peninsula Florida advanced and took possession of the wet ground thus formed, which he describes as a "vast spring." Thus the two floras were brought together. In some places one may stand with one foot on plants characteristic of northern regions and the other on plants restricted to the tropics. Eight or ten of the plants discovered by Dr. Small are complete novelties. Finger Ring Watches In Vogue. Diamond studded watches on slender chains and tiny flat watches which women have carried 'twlrt collar and neck are going out of favor, says the New York Press. A young woman who arrived on earth too late to become Lady Boyle Roche said recently that tnose neca ornamems xiau uecu run into the ground. Newer forms of ticking trinkets have been Introduced by a couple of society women who have just returned from Europe. The novelties are ring watches hardly larger than a dime. Such a tiny timekeeper is mounted on a golden circlet and is slipped on the finger outside the glove. Looking Ahead. It will not be long, says the St Louis Post-Dispatch, before they will have automobiles driven by turbine engines, and then the ordinary pedestrian will have to step lively. 9 Personal Mention. ?Mr. J.

The lender packed the coat away and thought but little of it. At the sale of redeemed pledges the other day the auctioneer asked for bids. "Three hundred dollars," sang out a man Dver in the corner. The! pawnbroker to whom the coat belonged, sat up and rubbed his eyes. "Five hundred dollars," rang out another bid. "One thousand dollars." "Eighteen hundred dollars." The pawnbroker by this time was wide awake and on his feet. "If that coat is worth $1800 to some one 3lse at auction, guess I had better bid if in," he said to himself. This be did, and later took it to a furrier, where he had it appraised. The coat was a genuine Russian sable, exquisitely made and trimmed with half a hundred tails valued at 575 each. It was said to be worth $5,000.?New York Times. Blckley's Assailant Caught.
