McLAlRIX FOR SENATE.
Believed He, Smith and IJlease Wi
* Make the Race.
Columbia, December 3.?The b<
lief that Senator John L. MeLauri
is going io enter the race :or tl
United States Senate next year is ii
creasing and speculation as to tl
* outcome of a triangular contest b<
tween Senator McLauri'n, Govern (
Blease and Senator E. D. Smith lit
already begun. It is admitted that
better trio of 'stump-speakers coul
net be found, and political circles ai
tuietly watching for development
is the tight for the junior Senatoi
* ship.
Senator McLaurin is in Columbi;
hut refuses to talk on pontics r<
publication or make any statemei
as to his plans. It is known th<
letters have been pouring in on hii
from all sections of the State urgin
bim to enter the race for the Senate
These letters come from Tiilmanite
f ^
Bleaseites, Anti-Bieasites. Conservj
Stives and Reformers. The Marlbor
Senator is constantly receiving cal
ers from every part of the State, an
j, *^,ny men have been in his room <
the Jefferson Hotel this week to shak
his hand and urge him to enter tfc
Senatorial ring.
Some Want Him for Governor.
There are still some people writin
the Marlboro Senator to enter tli
race for Governor, but, it is believei
they represent a .small minorit;
Pressure from strong quarters is b<
ing brought to bear on him to com
into the Senatorial light: this is
patent fact to anyone on the groun<
Close friends of Senator McLau:

his inclinations are to offer for tfc
Senate, but on this subject he hin
self has refused to talk when inte
viewed. He is pushing the cotto
warehouse bill and taking active pai
in the fight to stamp out cotton gan
bling on the Xew York Cotton E:
change. Bue when the direct que:
J tion is put to him as to his enterin
the Senatorial fight he smiles an
refuses to be questioned.
Senator McLaurin has been preacl
f ing peace and harmony between th
fighting factions of the Democrat
party in this State and he says th*
this is what he wants- to accomplisl
He states that he fears if the fai
tionSl fight is carried much furth*
that a split will be brougnt aboi
and white supremacy threatened. H
* urges the people to stop and conside
where they are heading and warr
them against any break in the soli(
ity of its people. The Marlboro Sei
ator says that office is a secondar
consideration, that what he wan:
to do is to bring the people togethe
j , and if he can do this he will be s-.tti:
fied.
People are curious to know wh<
Senator McLaurin is going to do. H
is well known in South Carolina an
has many friends over the Stat
-He is in the prime of life, well verse
*
*in matters of government, a goo
politician and one of the* best d<
*?otorc onH ctnmn sDeakers of th
? day. With him in the race the con
plexion would undoubtedly be chanj
ed. An entirely new element woul
i be injected, making it- in that ever
all the more interesting.
It i6 not thought that Senator M<
Laurin will make any definite ai
nonncement as to his plans until tb
meeting of the General Assembly.
STUDENTS TOLD TO FIGHT.

H Atlanta, December 8.?Atlanta i
d preparing to re-establish her title tlii
week as the Reno of the south, wit!
:e the heaviest superor court divorc
ie docket in her history.
With more than 500 divorces al
' ready granted in 1913, the presen
? j calendar has 179 more, and befor
ie I to-night it is believed the total wil
i run to nearly 200.
y- J Only a small proportion of th
^ principals in the divorce cases ar
!e life-long Atlantians. The remainde
a are made up of that floating popula
i- tion that comes and goes from yea
r* to year.
Atlanta is suffering apparently no
ie so much from the incompatability o
1_ its own married couples as from th
r~ fact that Georgia is an extremel
n easy siate to get a divorce in.
rt There is an undefended divorce sui
law by which if the person sued can
c~ not be found, the serving of the pa
s_ pers can be made legal simply b
S publication. Then the divorce can g
d on, and a wife who has a husband ii
Indianapolis or Hong Kong can get
divorce in Atlanta while the husbam
ie perhaps may not know that the pro
ceedings are going on at all.
Nearly all the divorces are based o]
the stock charges of cruel treatmen
*" and desertion, or non support ii
>r some form or other. The ones whicl
charge infidelity are not nearly s
e numerous as those which charg
cruel treatment. N

The masked man first apeared at ;

a

supply him with a powerful auto
mobile. The bandit drove the ma

ie
of the bank not having returned fron

packages of money, but attempted t*

Under Republican administratis
