Will Run on State-wide Prohibition if' : . ?. IMiiVlAUt j Laurens, December 1.?Hon. C. C. Featherstone of this city announced definitely this morning that he would be a candidate for governor of South Carolina in the next campaign, 1910. It is remembered that Mr. Featherstone declared his candidacy at the opening day of this year's campaign, but withdrew because of the promised stand of Gov. Ansel on the liquor question, that is, the governor's advocacy Ox a platform that was a step toward State-wide prohibition. Mr. Ansel had been governor for only one term, and there were thousands who deemed him worthy of a second term because of his successful fight against the old State dispensary. Consequently Mr. Featherstone deemed it inadvisable to oppose Mr. Ansel at that time and withdrew from the f race, at the same time announcng his continued advocacy of State-wide prohibition and his willingness to keep up the fight. In view of the growing sentiment for State-wide prohibition, and the fact that one-half of the counties in the State have already voted prohibition and believing that the time has come in the political life of the > State for such a campaign, Mr. Featherstone announces that he will make the race on a platform for State-wide prohibition. The announcment of Mr. Featherstone's candidacy so early in the campaign is in response to numberless inquiries as to his intentions; he has received many inquiries and has been persistently urged to maKe me race, i While his withdrawal statement in July was practically an announcement that he would make the race two years hence, the statement is made to apprise the many friends of prohibition as to Mr. Featherstone's intentions.

U UUUIK , A WOMAN'S PREDICAMENT. r I I Starving Because She Cannot Sell I Her Own Property. j What queer laws we have, anyway! One of the curious conditions which ^ may result from such laws is revealed 1 by the case of a New Jersey woman, 1 which as she relates it herself is 1 something like this: 1 She owns property valued at $16,- 1 000, but as she is a married woman 1 she cannot dispose of that property ^ without the signature of her husband, j1 The husband in this case seems to be < a worthless sort of individual. After ' they had been married a short time . i he induced his wife to mortgage the 5 property, then he pawned her jewels 1 and then he deserted her, leaving 1 her without money. As a result she j < had him arrested, and now he lies in ' i jail, supported by the State. But he j i refuses to consent to the sale or nis; wife's property, and she, though the J rightful owner of it, is unable to dispose of it and is consequently with- 1 out proper food and without fuel, i Her Thanksgiving dinner, she says, consisted of nothing but potatoes, j1 The district attorney says she is1 worse off than a pauper, for as she < is the owner of property she has no . claim on the community for aid, and, 1 as her husband won't consent to the sale of what is hers and was never his, she has no way to provide herself with the necessities of life.?Buffalo Express. Woman Stopped Davenport Case. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 7.?With-' out warning the bigamy and adultery cases against Manager Carl Davenport, of the Little Grand and Fairyland theatres, which promised to afford a number of sensations, have been withdrawn by the prosecutor and Davenport?who admits having travelled at various times under the names of Franklin E Roberts, Robert F. Willeford and Frank Winteroth? has been relieved of his $2,000 bond. This is the outcome he prophesied all along. The woman who instituted T1 tne proceedings, miss jessie muuicj, of Saluda, went to Magistrate Bueschel late Saturday night and declared she did not wish to carry the matter any further. Davenport's real name is Willeford and he has a wife and three children living at his old home, Sumter, where he is regarded as a model father and a good business man. He says that there is nothing sinister about his having used stage names, as he is in the theatrical business and has been on the boards himself often. Miss Mobley made highly sensational statements when she came here, declaring that on April 3rd of this year, she was married to Davenport, as Frank Winteroth, in Savannah, and that on their return to Saluda, he persuaded her to mortgage her farm for $1,500, then decamped with the proceeds, since which time she had not seen him until she happened to recognize him in his theatre here ten days ago. Neither she nor Davenport have as yet made any explanations. e You Plannii IHui BE aivi Face Q ?- at the audit* )l, Wednesd ople of Bamberg am in the musical world. n ever booked in Bamberg. igement to get them in that enville. E YOUR ' 3ET THE NIGHT RIDER JURORS ILL. , i Vew Indictments Necessary in Reel I T -? I | rooi LiKKt* llivcsii^anuii. Union City, Tenn., December 7.? Because of the illness of two members of the recent night riders' jury, lecessitating the naming of others to replace them, all the testimony upon which the former indictments were cased may have to be repeated before the new indictments are returned, attorney General Caldwell and the attorneys for the State were in conference until late to-night, considering whether it would be legal merely to read to the present grand jury the stenographic notes of the testimony upon which the recent grand jury based its indictments. With the exception of two the personnel of the juries are identical. The new indictments were decided on because the attorneys for the alleged night riders lustioned the validity of the old ones. The feeling in the community is extremely bitter and many of the citizens go about armed. Judge Jones today appealed to every law-abiding citizen in the State to help to stamp out the vicious and anarchistic element. He demanded the death penalty for those guilty of a capital offence in connection with night rider raids. DIED OF HYDROPHOBIA. Richard Pennington, of Fort Motte, Meets Horrible Death. Fort Motte, December 1.?About 2 wpeks ?eo a small dog owned by Richard Pennington was running his chickens. He proceeded to catch the dog and punish it for the offense. Whle whipping the dog, he was bitten on the hand. At the time there appeared to be nothing wrong with the dog, but subsequently it died. His family tried to prevail on his taking the Koon treatment, which he did not do. He was taken sick on Sunday and died this morning. Drs. Wolfe, Fairey and Symmes pronounced it a genuine case of rabies. PREACHER TO PENITENTIARY. He Deserted His Family and Eloped With Young Girl. ' * ? ? m rv/N?AwvVvAw 7 - unattanooga, ieuu? t/acmud ?

Roseberry, formerly a preacher of Wilmore, Ky., and who abandoned hs wife and came to this city with a 16-year-old girl, yesterday was taken to the penitentiary to begin serving a term of three years.

He left with a newspaper here a letter asking that the word "reverend" be not connected wth his name, disclaiming all right to such "appellation." His letter closes as follows: "Until justice is satisfied I bid the world, with all it holds dear to a healthy, normal man, a sad farewell." -.. - -v . : - * - - * . * i g to Enjoy the?^ i | sic Recital j wrari fnmmnv I I SllVVl I VVIIipUIIT I )RIUM OF THF | ay, December 16th, at 8:30 p, ai | d the Surrounding Country to Realize ||| 5th.
