LAW FIRM DISSOLVED.
Personal Difficulty Causes Dissolutio
of Ties.
Charleston, Oct. .12.?The we
known law firm of Legare, Holma
& Baker is in process of dissolutioi
incident to the recent death of Dur
can J. Baker and differences whic
exist between Congressman George ?
Legare and Mr. Holman. The decis
ion to dissolve the partnership rel?
tions were hastened by a personal er
counter which occurred in the la1
offices of the firm several weeks ag
and which had served to estrange th
former friends and business associ
ates.
The troubles between Messrs. Le
era vn an/1 tfrtlman a TP Sflid tO haV
UUU XAViUiUM ^ - ?
been growing for some time. Mi
Legare was away from his practic
for more than a year, during whicl
time it was practically in charge o
Mr. Holman. It is said that Mr. Le
gare was not satisfied with the ac
counting upon his return to Charles
ton during the summer and the dil
erences between the men grew mor
marked.
Mr. Baker died. Mr. Holman, i
is said, expressed himself at the Com
mercial club fn condemnatory term
of Mr. Legare and the statement
we're carried to Mr. Legare.
Accompanied u v ma cuuu&e* auu
friend, Mr. Legare called on Mr. Hoi
man and demanded a retraction o
the charges and the language use*
at the club house. Mr. Holman i
said to have called Mr. Legare a lia
when the latter knocked him down
severely bruising his eye. The lawyers
were separated and since thi
culmination of the differences, th
attorney of the respective forme
partners have been aranging for th
dissolution of the firm. They wil
continue the practice of law ii

An unusual instance of the youth
ful counterfeiter has just been locat
ed by United States Secret Servic<
Agent H. E. Thomas of this city, 01
a recent trip into South Carolina.
Mr. Thomas's orders called him t(
a point not many miles from the so
called "Dark Corner" of upper Soutl
Carolina, probably 20 miles west o
Spartanburg. Here, it appeared, tha
somebody had been using imitatioi
small coin made from flattened ca:
seals carefully trimmed around th<
edges.
Mr. Thomas finally discovered th<
source of the spurious circulate
medium in the person of a 14-year
old boy of the neighborhood. Th<
boy had no molds or other imple
ments for making counterfeit coin
but it appears that he had accom
plished his work by placing the fac<
of a coin on one side of a car-seal
and the back on the other side o
the seal, and then striking the com
bination a quick blow which left th<
imprint of the front and back of th<
coin on opposite sides of the seal
The rim of the seal was then care
fully trimmed to the right size, an(
the coin was finished. The boy, i
is said, had used some of these leac
coins to worK siot macnmes, etc., du
there seemed to be no evidence tha
he had attempted to pass any o
these.
The method used to make the im
itation, or counterfeit coin, is exceed
ingly unique, and is rather new ii
secret service circles.
The lad was given a severe repri
mand and turned loose, though th<
case will likely be placed in th<
hands of the district attorney o
South Carolina, who will decide
whether further action is necessary

FLORENCE MAX KILLED.
n Shooting Said to be Result of Quarrel
Over Woman?Marsh in Jail.
11
n Florence, Oct. 12.?News was re1,
ceived in the city early this morning
i- of another killing in the lower part of
h this county in the Hannah section, in
5. which it is reported that Henry
>- Marsh shot Robert Baxlev to death.
l- Both men are white,
i- The story brought here is to the
iv effect that bad feeling had been existo
ing between the two men on account
e of a woman. Marsh had forbid Baxl
ley to enter upon his lands. The two
men met in the road last night about
!- dark and a difficulty ensued, during
e which Baxley was shot in the neck by
a shotgun. Marsh was arrested and
e brought' to Florence to-day by Conh
stable Q. C. Prosser and locked in
f jail, he having been committed by
- Magistrate B. Prosser, who held the
inquest. Both Marsh and Baxley are
i- married men and have families.
f
e Account From Scranton.
Scranton, Oct. 12.?There was a
t shooting affray yesterday on the plani
tatlon of Mr. John H. Bartells, in
s Florence county, six miles from town,
s as a result Robert Baxley, a white
man about 47 years old, is dead, and
a his young son is wounded, being shot
i- with a shotgun in the hands of Henry
f Marsh, another white man.
d 'Judge Prosser, of Hanna, Florence
s county, was in town this morning
r with Marsh to take the morning train
t, for the Florence jail.
From what can be gathered Baxs
ley and Marsh moved from Lake City
e several months ago on the plantation
r of Mr. J. H. Bartell to work with Mr.
e Leo Ward; that, it is said, Marsh be1
came too intimate with a relative of
a Baxley's; that Baxley warned Marsh.
It is said that yesterday evening late
Marsh attempted to go through Baxley's
yard, while he was at hom?, and
Baxley refused to alow him to pass,
through. This caused hot words to
pass between them. Finally Baxley
' got his shotgun and emptied the entire
load into Marsh's neck, death resuiting
in a few minutes.
Judge Prosser, of Florence, held
J the inquest last night, the jury rendering
the verdict that the deceased
came to his death by a gunshot wound
in the hands of Marsh.
?
Has Miraculous Escape.
Spartanburg, Oct. 12.?Dr. Jesse
F. Cleveland, president of the Tucapau
mills and one the wealthiest
s men in upper South Carolina, had a
miraculous escape from death here
to-day when the buggy in which he
j was driving was struck by a passen^
ger train on the Southern railway
at Forest street crossing in this city.
f The horse was killed and the ve5
hide smashed to pieces. Dr. Cleve[
land was thrown from the buggy and
sustained slight injuries. At first it
^ was thought that a wound in his
s head was of a serious nature, but this
I has not proved to be true. To-night
he is sitting up and receiving his
friends.
At the point where the accident
occurred there is a sharp curve
which is situated on a grade crossing.
Houses are built close up to
the track, and it is not possible to
j see an on-coming train more than
r 100 feet away. An engineer cannot
see the crossing until he is right on
it. Dr. Cleveland was driving south
on Forest street and did not see or
hear the train nor did the engineer
. see Dr. Cleveland until it was utterly
- impossible to stop the train in time to
3 prevent the accident.

Booker T. Washington Political Issue.
) Anniston, Ala., Oct. 12.?"Any
- man who votes for Joe Thompson
i for governor of Alabama votes indif
rectly to perpetuate the political powt
er of Booker T. Washington in the
1 South's political affairs."
r This declaration by J. C. Manning,
2 one of the leaders of the so-called
progressive element of the Republis
can party in this State, featured the
1 meeting here to-day in the interest
- of the candidacy of C. H. Scott, candi2
date for governor on the progressive
- Republican ticket. Manning declar,
ed that the only way to eliminate
_ Waahinarton from narticination in
5 Southern political affairs through the
, national administration Is for the
f Alabama Republicans to repudiate at
- the polls "the regular Republican or5
ganization," headed by Thompson for
d governor.
Teacher Not Guilty.
1 Spartanburg, Oct. 12.?Professor
t James B. Hodges, of Florence, S. C.,
1 but at present principal of the Southt
side school in this city, was tried by
t a jury in Magistrate Wetmore's court
f here to-day on the charge of assault
ani battery, the charge growing out
- of a whipping he gave Melvin Mc
Laughlin, the 12-year-old son of J.
i P. McLaughlin. He was found not
guilty.
The case has attracted much attene
tion here and the trial was attended
e by a large crowd. It was an interestf
ing session and at one time Judge
e Wetmore had to threaten to fine the

TO SAIL FROM CHARLESTON.
Taft Plans Panama Trip from Soutli
Carolina Port.
Beverly, Mass., Oct. 13.?President
Taft will sail for the Isthumus ot
Panama on November 10 from Charleston.
He will make the trip on the
armored cruiser North Carolina and
will be conveyed by the sister ship,
the Montana. These are the same
vessels used by Mr. Taft in his Panama
trip just before his inauguration.
The president will be gone about
12 days. The North Carolina and
Montana' can make the journey in
each direction in four days. This
will give Mr. Taft abtfut four daye
on the isthmus.
The president had practically given
up all idea of visiting the canal this
year until Col. George W. Goethals,
chief engineer of the canal, spent
two hours with him this afternoon.
At the end of that time Mr. Taft had
been convinced that the problems
confronting the officials in Panama
require his presence on the isthmus.
Hopes to Do Good.
Although his visit will be a flying
one, the president expects to be able
to secure first hand information regarding
a number of problems which
he will call to the attention of congress
at its next session. Some of
the problems to be dealt with are:
The extent and character of the fortifications;
the fixing of tolls for
transportation of vessels through the
canal; a proposed increase in wages;
the future management of the Panama
railroad; the form of permanent
government for the canal zone, and
the regulation of the sale of coal at
the terminus. The government may
go into the busines of selling coal itself
in order to prevent the possibility
of extortion or monopoly.
of these questions would not require
settlement for a year or more but
Col. Goethals puts matters in a different
light.
Toll Question Important.
The question of tolls, which it was
thought could wait until the canal
is nearer completion, was explained
by Col. Goethals to be one of the
most pressing for congress to meet.
An international congress of ship
owners and shipping interests is to he
held in Berlin in the summer of 1911.
It is believed to be highly important
that congress should have fixed the
rates of toll by that time. The authorities
believe that the influence
that the canal will have upon shipping
should be felt and be discussed
at this conference. The canal must
be made to attract shipping and, at
the same time, an effort will be made
to have the toll charges meet the
interest on the $400,000,000 investment
which the canal will represent.
The date for opening the Panama
canal has been set for January 11,
1915. President Taft and Col. Goethals
believe that it will be completed

Mr. Taft will go to Cincinnati to

Still Honest.
A noted Philadelphia attorney
tells one on himself. He left his native
town in Tennessee years ago,
and came to this city to practice law.
He has been uniformly successful.
His brother, upon the other hand, remained
behind at the family homestead.
Returning to his native town some
time ago, the attorney met an old
darkey in the road.
"Hello, uncle," he said, but the old
man did not recognize the boy he
used to know in#the prosperous looking
citizen who addressed him.
"Well," asked the lawyer, "how
are the Blank family?"
"Oh, they're all right," said the
old darky, "Jim Blank has gone *o
Philadelphia, and done made a lot of
money. He's a lawyer, sah."
"Is that so?" answered the attorney.
"And his brother Tom, how is
he, has he made a fortune, too?"
"Lawdy, no," answered the old
darky, shaking his head, "he ain't no
lawyer. Marse Tom wouldn't take a
dishonest penny from nobody."?
Philadelphia Times.
Corrected.,
A newly made magistrate was
gravely absorbed in a formidable
I document. Raising his keen eyss,
j he said to the man who stood paI
tiently awaiting the award of justice,
"Officer, what is this man charged
with?"
"Bigotry, your worship. He's got
three wives," replied the officer.
The new justice rested his elbows
on the desk and placed his fingertips
together. "Officer," he said, somewhat
sternly, "what's the use of all
this education, all these evening
schools, all the technical classes, an'
what-not? Please remember, in any
future like case that a man who has
married three wives has not committed
bigotry, but trigonometry.

THE SALESWOMAN'S BUDGET.
, What She Had for a Year's Work.
A Typical Experience.
Two years ago the National Consumers'
league began inquiring how
the 6,000,000 women bread-winners
of this country work and live, says
the Chattanooga News. Some of the
budgets collected by the league have
. appeared in McClure's magazine. A
typical experience is that of a girl
who entered a New York department
store on a wage of $4.50 a week and
had got a raise of $1 a week after five
years. She lost her position after a
dispute with a floor walker, apd a
month later got another at $4 a week,
less than she had begun with. This
girl said that the law requiring seats
for employes was useless because
i whenever she sat down during intervals
when :here were no customers,
the 'finer ttrallrer arnii'M trive her a
task that brought her to her feet
again. The week before Christmas
' she had to work more than 14 hours
a day. For this she got a Christmas
"gift" of $20, but no extra pay. In
summer she was allowed a week's
vacation and $10 besides her pay.
1 After her work at the store she had
her own laundering and mending to
do.
This is how she recalled the use
of her annual income of $281:
One coat, $10; four hats, $17; two "
pairs of shoes, $5; 24 shirtwaists at
08 cents, $23.59; four skirts, $4.98;
1 underwear, $2; board at $2.50 a
week at a philanthropic home, $120;
medical attendance, $2. This accounts
for $194.50. The remainder,
$86.50, went mainly for such articles
of attire as stockings, handkerchiefs
and odds* and ends that she could not
rcuan.
It is admitted that this girl was unwise
in her expenditures, especially in
the matter of shirtwaists. The example
of older and more experienced
employes is contrasted with this
budget. It is set forth that if she
had bought shirtwaists at a little
higher price they would have lasted
much longer, and she might have reduced
this item by two-thirds.
If the consumers' league have
drawn any conclusions from their inquiries
they are saving them for another
occasion. The foregoing story
is only one of many. It seems more
typical than the experience of some
other saleswomen because of the inexperience
of the subject. If she
had acquired at home or at school a
small part of the skill with the needle
that all women used to consider indlspensible,
she would have been
able to make shirtwaists for herself.
The entry of women into almost
every neia or gamrui employment is
a big fact of our national life. The
individual studies of the consumers'
league are interesting contributions
to contemporary history.
Dies From Injury
Conway, Oct. 13.?Joe Goff, a
white employe of the Reaves Shingle
mill at Reaves Ferry, a few miles
from Conway, died yesterday as the
result of an accident at this company's
mill a few days ago. Young Mr.
Goff was a head block setter and a
large piece of timber thrown from
the cariage of the saw, struck him
full in the head fracturing the skull.
Drs. H. H. Burroughs and F. A. Bell,
of Conway, were summoned at once
and an operation wes performed, but
the wound proved too serious to permit
a recovery.
Judge Shipp Issues Order.
Columbia, Oct. 13.?Judge Shipp
to-day issued a restraining order and
a rule to show cause against the State
dispensary commission and its attorneys,
Fraser Lyon, B. L. Abney,
W. F. Stevenson and Anderson, Felder,
Roundtree & Wilson, doing so at
the suit of the S. Grabfelder Company,
distillers, of Louisville. The
commission is restrained until October
22, when the rule is returnable
from proceeding further with its suit
in Kershaw against Grabfelder to recover
$57,569 in alleged overcharges
on business done by Grabfelder with
the old State dispensary.
The commisson is directed to show
cause why it should not be perpetually
enjoined from further action
against the liquor house. The plaintiffs
allege that the commission has
already investigated and adjudicated
its claim of $62,000 against the old
State dispensary, but after this settlement
had been made the commission,
nevertheless, held up arbitrarily
acounts plaintiff had made with
various county dispensaries to the amount
of $16,682, and thereafter
brought the big suit in Kershaw for
alleged after discovered overcharges.
The plaintiff asks the courts to release
the county dispensary credits
impounded by the commission and
to stop the commission from nosing
around further among the records of
the State dispensary.
