JOXES GETS BUSY.
Opens Headquarters of His Campaign
for Governorship.
________
Columbia, Feb. 12.?Mr. Ira B. j
Jones, candidate for governor, has
gone to work in earnest, to win the
fight upon which he entered actively j
when his resignation as chief justice
took effect just one month ago. He
will conduct his campaign from Columbia,
and he has opened up headquarters
in the Berkeley building,
opposite the Richland court house,
and has equipped his office there. It
is understood to be the intention of
Mr. Jones to spend the next few
months visiting the different portions
of the State, as his long service
on the supreme bench, while it
has made his name known to and respected
by the people, has kept him,
apart from active politics and he proposes
to get acquainted personally
with as many of the voters as possible.
On this account largely he will
place his headquarters here in
charge of a campaign manager and
Mr. J. William Thurmond will act in
that capacity. Mr. Thurmond is well
equipped for the work. He is himself
well acquainted throughout the
State, and aside from his reputation
as a careful and learned lawyer, he
is rated as one of the most level headed
politicians in the State. ' Mr.
Thurmond served in the house of
representatives with Mr. Jones, and
placed him in nomination for the supreme
court, when the then speaker
of the house was elected associate
justice. Mr. Thurmond afterward
served several terms as solicitor
of the Fifth circuit, which
then embraced the counties of Richland,
Kershaw, Lexington, Edgefield
and Saluda. He had a number of
difficult cases to handle as solicitor
and discharged his duty without fear
or favor. Since retiring from that
office he has been engaged in active
practice at Edgefield, his home, and
has appeared in several important
cases.
It will not be long now before the
preliminaries of the gubernatorial
and other State contests will open
up. The precinct club meetings will
mark the first stages of the campaign
and then will come the county conventions
and the State convention in
May. Gen. Wilie Jones, who has
been chainhan of the State Democratic
executive committee for so
many years, has reiterated recently
-3-X X* X Xl J V ^
ms aetermiuauuii 10 retire, auu xie
will not again be a candidate for State
chairman. This position is filled by
the State executive committee itself,
which meets prior to the State convention.

MISS GARDEN IN GREEK TOGS.
Singer Will Hereafter Discard Corsets,
Shoes and Stockings.
Philadelphia, Feb. 7.?Howard
Shelly, local press agent for Mary
Garden, in response to a letter received
from the prima donna, announced
that she is about to wear
old-time Grecian costumes for both
street and house wear, because she
has found them so comfortable.
Miss Garden had her first experience
' with the Grecian costume in
Chicago at a reception in a wonderful
silver gauze garment of most diaphanous
texture. Beneath the flimsy
tunic the songstress wore a white
satin robe. She did not wear corsets
with the costume, and she writes
that she never felt more comfortable.
Now she declares she wants to adopt
the Grecian styles of a thousand
years ago, including bare feet and
all the trimmings. She also advises
all young women to follow her lead.
Boy Killed by Automobile.
Elizabeth, N. J., Feb. 9.?Frank
W. Denman, a nine-year-old boy,
died early to-day from injuries received
last evening when he was run
down by an automobile while coasting
on his sled. The automobile was
driven by George Robertson, the automobile
racing driver, and in the
car was Burton S. Brown, a New
Vnrt nowBnanor man The automo

bile had just turned the corner when
Denman on his sled shot suddenly
from under a fence which runs along
the road and passed in front of the
machine. Robertson tried in vain
to stop the car, but the wheels passed
over the boy's body. Brown and
Robertson picked the boy up and carried
him to a nearby house and medical
aid was summoned. Denman
died this morning. Robertson and
Brown will be arraigned to-morrow.
Twelve Men Killed.
Fort Francis, Ont., Feb. 9.?
Twelve men are known to have been
killed and five injured by a prema
ture explosion 01 aynamne 111 a construction
camp on the Canadian
Northern Railway, near Fort Francis,
this afternoon. A number of
workers are unaccounted for and
some of these may have been killed.
The fearful blast blew down into
a cut in which many men were working
thousands of tons of rock and
dirt, burying the helpless workmen
alive.

INTRODUCES TWO NEW BILLS.
Representative Lever Author of
Measures in National House.
Washington, Feb. 11.?Representative
A. F. Lever, of South Carolina,
has introduced two bills in the house,
one to regulate and encourage the
use of water power and the other to
prevent monopoly of stock grazing
ranges in the public domain.
The first bill gives the heads of
the respective government depart|
ments concerned the right to lease
power sites and provides for a board,
consisting of one member each, appointed
by the secretary of war, agriculture,
commerce and labor, and the
attorney general to pass finally on
each lease, which must provide for
full development and continuous operation
under proper regulations to
protect the public interest. Moneys
from such leases are to constitute a
fund to be expended on rivers and
watersheds for the improvement of
water power supply, irrigation and
navigation.
The second bill, which affects an
area of amount one-sixth of the
United States, provides for the establishment
of grazing districts by proclamation
of the president, and authorizes
the secretary of agriculture
to regulate the amount of stock to
be grazed annually within districts
and the fees, which must not be below
one-half cent per acre or more
than four cents per acre per annum
for the first ten years. Mr. Lever
believes that if his bill wdre enacted
into law twice as much stock would
be grazed on the public range as at
present and overcrowding any range
would cease.
Hearing in Winn Murder Case.
Hampton, Feb. 10.?A preliminary
hearing in the case of Mrs. Ella
Wheeler Wells and Owen Robertson,
charged with the murder of young
TTT.11 TTT _ X n . ^1. i.* 1 x. n
waiaer winn, at recnug, lasi September,
was begun here to-day, but
after the testimony of three witnesses
was adjourned at the request
of the prosecution until Tuesday of
ne^F week. The State agreed to a
reasonable bail for Robertson, which
will be arranged at Aiken. Mrs.
Wells is qut on a $2,000 bond, granted
yesterday by Judge Copes. There
was a large crowd present at the
hearing, which was conducted by
Magistrate J. G. Murdaugh. Interest
is keen in the case and when it is
taken up again on Tuesday it is expected
that there will be even a
greater crowd on hand.
The7 first witnesses to-day were
Drs. T. B. Whatley, of Early Branch;
C. A. Rusch, of Hampton, and W.
Bovden Nims. the chemist of Golnm
bia, who made examination of the
stomach of the murdered man in a
search for poison. Their testimony ;
was the same as that given before
the coroner, namely, that there was
found a deadly poison in the intestines
of the deceased.
Probably one of the most sensational
bits of testimony adduced was
the declaration of T. A. Tindal, who
swore that Owen Robertson, one of
the defendants, had told him (Tindal)
of the following conversation
he had with Lillian Winn, wife of the
deceased:
"Ain't you the man that I hired to
kill Walker?" To which Robertson
is alleged to have replied, "Shut
you mouth." '

Society Belle Drunk on Street.
Atlanta, Feb. 8.?"Play me that
DooDim rag, sang Maggie uowan, a
peach of a blonde in a stylish dress
and picture hat, as she sailed down
Peachtree street last night and staggered
into the first drug store.
Quite a crowd followed to see what
next. Maggie gave a wide swipe with
her beautifully gloved arm that sent
half a dozen bottles of perfumery
and hair tonic crashing to the floor;
then she pulled her picture hat down
at a more rakish angle than ever
and began to sing again.
By this time it became quite apparent
that Maggie was having the
time of her life. The only doubtful
question was whether it was beer or
champagne or whiskey, or all three
mixed.
After she had entertained the !
crowd for some 10 minutes, a policeman,
summoned by the druggist, appeared
on the scene. Now, policemen
in Atlanta have to know an aw- |
ful lot. And this policeman did. He
tok one horrified look at Maggie and
then he arrested her, did he not?
Answer, he did not. He hurriedly
whispered something in the druggist's
ear, and Maggie was shown to
a seat in the rear of the establish- ]
ment. Then he hurriedly telephoned
for a closed carriage and to another
address. When the closed carriage
came, the policeman deferentially assisted
Maggie inside and had her
driven straight to her perfectly respectable
home on avenue.
This little story is exactly true, except.
for one detail. The inebriated
lady's name was not Maggie Cowan.
If her real name was used, it would
make a better story.
If you owie us anything, remember
that we need the money and expect
prompt settlement.

BLEASE AND GRACE HAVE SPLIT.
Their Political Friendship is Now at
an End.
The political friendship that has
existed between Mayor Grace and
Gov. Blease is at an end. No statement
for publication regarding the
breaking off of relations has been
made by either party, but that a rupture
has come appears to be a fact.
There has been talk for. some
weeks of a break in the alliance that
meant so much to Blease when he
was running for governor, and these
rumors were confirmed on Thursday
night, when Mayor Grace, in a speech
at the German Rifle Club ball, told
his hearers that a year ago they had
had promises made to them and had
found them to be promises only. Although
the mayor mentioned no
names, few who heard the speech or
who read the report of it in the
News and Courier the next day
doubted that the promises referred
to were those made by Gov. Blease.
As a further confirmation of the rumors
of a rupture comes the fbport
from Columbia that the mayor while
in the Capital City recently had criticised
the governor severely.
No statement could be secured
from Mr. Grace regarding the matter
the mayor preferring to remain
silent for the present at any rate.
Nor could any statement be had from
Gov. Blease regarding the rupture.
That the trouble either arose in or
culminated in the governor's actions
in connection with the dispensary
constables here is the common belief.
The constables, some of them
at any rate, worked against Candidate
Grace in the recent municipal
campaign, the report being that they
had been instructed from Columbia
to do so.?Charleston News and

President Expected to Grant Pardon
\
in Remarkable Case.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 11.?Favorable
action by President Taft on a petition
for pardon, which is confidently
expected by the officials of the federal
penitentiary here, will release,
probably some time this month,
Thomas Bram, one of the most
unique prisoners in the prison.
Bram was a sailor and was convicted,
in 1896 in Boston, of the murder
of his captain and two others on the
high seas. He always has proclaimed
his innocence and, according to
Warden Moyer and other omciais or
the prison, his record there bears out
this claim. In all the 15 years of his
imprisonment he never has givfen
way to fits of despair, he spends his
time ministering to others and has
become noted for his cheerful smile.
This, it is said, is extremely unusual
even for short time prisoners.
The sailor has made several efforts
to regain his freedom.- Recently he
eplisted the aid and sympathy of Attorney
Dan W. Rountree, o? Atlanta,
who, after a thorough investigation, i
placed his case before the attorney
general and the president.
The crime for which Bram is serving
a life sentence was committed on
the night of July 13, 1896, wl^ile
Bram was in charge of the night
watch. After the discovery of the
murders, Bram had a sailor named
Brown placed in irons, charged with
the crime. . This man, it was claimed,
accused Bram and the crew also
placed him in irons and carried both
to Boston, where the trial was held,
resulting in Bram's conviction.
In reopening the case the fact is
brought out that Charles Brown, the
seaman first accused, once was confined
in an insane asylum because of
a maniacal outburst. This, together
with Bram's remarkable conduct for
15 years, is made the basis of the petition
for pardon.
Express Companies' Earnings.
Washington, Feb. 8.?Frank L.yon,
attorney for -the interstate commerce
commission, has submitted to
that body as a part of the investigation
into express rates an exhibit
showing the total receipts and earnings
of these concerns since their
organization. In arriving at its decision
the commission will be guided
largely by these figures.
For the period covered- the total
gross receipts of the Adams, American,
Wells-Fargo, Southern, United
States, Great Northern, Globe and
National Express companies was
$795,306,721, of which $397,653,860.50
was paid to the railroads as
their share. The net profits of the
express companies was $294,043,285,
and the total dividends paid by them
was $212,985,392.
These enormous earnings were
made on property now valued by the
companies themselves at only $26,065,711.
