I GAGE TO SUPREME BENCH. Elected on Second Ballot?Moore Made Circuit Judge. Last Thursday the general assembly elected George W. Gage to the position of associate justice of the State Supreme Court, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of J Judge Chas. A. Woods, who has taken his place on the Federal bench. Judge Gage was elected on the second ballot. Of course, the election of Judge Gage to the Supreme Court left vacant the position that he had so worthily filled. There were four names presented for this honor, Messrs. Ernest Moore, of Lancaster; G. W. S. Hart, of Yorkville; G. W. winnshoro. and Solici Udgouaigi v/i ?? tor J. K. Henry, of Chester. The judicial mantle fell on Mr. Ernest Moore, who was elected on the first ballot, receiving the exact number of votes necessary for his election. In the other elections for circuit judgeships the incumbent judges were all re-elected without opposition, these honors falling to: First circuit. I. W. Bowman, of Orangeburg; 2nd circuit, H. F. Rice, of Aiken; 3d circuit, John S. Wilson, of Manning; .4th circuit, Thos. H. Spain, of Daijington; 8th circuit, Frank B. Gary, of Abbeville. The re-election of Judge Eugene B. Gary as chief justice of the Supreme Court was purely a matter of form, as there was no oposition to him, the precedent always being in favor of the re-election of the chief justice where he renders faithful and efficient service. The senate entered the house chamber at 11 o'clock and immediately proceeded with the elections. Justice GaTv received a total vote of 162. He was nominated by Senator Mars, of Abbeville. When the election of associate justice was reached Senator Carlisle, of Spartanburg, placed in nomination the name of Judge T. S. Sease, of that city. Representative DeLaughter placed in nomination the name of Judge DeVore, of Edgefield. Senator Hardin nominated Judge G. W. Gage, of Chester, and Representative Kibler nominated the Hon. G. S. Mower, of Newberry. There were numerous seconds to these nominations. On the first roll-call the vote stood: Gage, 77;' Sease, 41; Mower, 31; DeVore, 13. On the second rolli call a sufficient number of votes switched from the other candidates Vto give Judge Gage 99, or 17 more than was necessary to elect. When the election of judge of the 8th circuit was reached Senator Beamguard nominated G. W. S. Hart, of Yorkville; Senator Ketchin nominated G. W. Ragsdale, of Winnsboro; Representative Creech nominated Solicitor J. K. Henry, of Chester, and the name of Ernest Moore was placed in nomination by Representative Sapp. Mr. Moore was elected on the ? first ballot. Remaining Judges. Nominations of the remaining judges, who were elected without opposition, were made as follows: Judge H. F. Rice, by Senator Williams, of Aiken; Judge John S. Wilson, by Representative Stevenson, of Cheraw; Judge Thomas H. Spain, by Senator Lawson, of Darlington; Judge F. B. Gary, by Representative Moore, of Abbeville, and Judge I. W. Bowman, by Senator Lide, of Orangeburg. There were numerous seconds to each of the nominarcns VICTIM OF HIS OWN GUN. Funeral of Lad, Accidentally Killed, Held. Spartanburg, January 17.?The funeral of stanyarne inompsou, it years old, who was accidentally killed Tuesday evening while returning from a bird hunt, was held Thursday afternoon at Cedar Springs Church.

Greenville, Jan. 17.?A head-on collision of two buggies late this afternoon just beyond the city limits resulted in the death of W. A. Griffin, a prominent Greenville man, and in the serious injury of an unknown negro who was driving for .Mr. Griffin. The other buggy contained three negroes, said to be drunk and driving at a rapid rate. An automobile containing Police Chief Holcombe and a private left here to-night in search of the negroes. Mr. Griffin was well known in this city and had many prominent connections in this part of the State. He is survived by his widow and four children. Mr. Griffin was past middle age. He was a brother of H. S. Griffin, who was in Florida for the winter. FARMS FOR POOR MEN. Possibilities of Reclaiming Desert Rands. The best chance for a poor man who hopes to avoid the struggle for ^ existence in a big city is to apply to ^ the United States government for a farm in the reclaimed public areas, sv C. J. Blanchard told an audience in the Manhattan Club, last night. Mr. oc C Blanchard is the statistician of the ^ United States Reclamation Service. h( Farm values have increased so ca much, Mr. Blanchard pointed oui. g that it is practically impossible foi a man of small means to own a farm cj ..nlnnn V, nnnll'nn t s\ tVlQ CftVOm m OT1 t U LI 1CS5 XiC applies IU mv BVI viuiuvu> Jj, for a site on easy terms in the reclaimed areas. Hundreds of men, many with capital from $500 up, he said, have established themselves independent th homes on these projects and are now se in sight of independence, and even sa wealth. ac Mr. Blanchard said that an alarming situation has developed because ec of the trend of people to the cities P? I and away from the land. st He gave the government figures to prove what has been accomplished in es the last 10 years by the reclamation he service. 1? "Since June 17, 1902," he said, m "the reclamation service has received el from the sale of public lands and it. other sources in 16 States about hi $78,000,000, practically all of which nc is now allotted for the completion he of 28 irrigation projects, three of hi them on Indian reservations. The service has dug 8,000 miles of canals, wj many of which carry whole rivers, as "It has constructed 51 miles of at railroad and today operates 14 miles th with reeular daily service for pas- hi sengers, freight, express and mail, hs the only railroad built, owned and operated by the government. As a pe result of its operation 10 new towns ne have been established and approxi- nc mately "20,000 families have taken ne up their homes in the desert. On its so 28 projects, the construction work T1 has advanced sufficiently to provide at water for 1,290,107 acres. The se value of all crops in 1912 was $14,- wj 479,368, an average of $25 an acre a for the lands reclaimed and actually A] cropped. The average crop produe- qi tion for the whole country is $10.30 w] an acre. se "Included in the present projects al are 3,191,048 acres, an area equal to le 68.5 per cent, of the cultivated acreage of all New England. On the lil basis of the 1912 crop the reclaimed ai lands should produce about $80,000,- he 000 annually." sc Justifiable Kisses. Here is one that was told by Con- ^ 61 gressman George E. Gorman, of Illinois, the other afternoon when the ?* talk topic turned to humorous situa- u tions in a court room. One day a young man was haled I into court for stealing kisses from a ^ | pretty girl, and eventually the fair 311 ! one was Dut on the stand to tell her in I . \ he storv. p "I understand you to say," said the lawyer for the young man in cross- 01 T examination, "that the defendant here kissed you against your will." "Yes, sir," was the prompt and blushing reply of the fair girl, "and ^ he kissed me more than once, too." "I see." calmly returned the legal light. "And is it not true that you also kissed the defendant?" "Yes sir," admitted the pretty one, ,r< v'but I did it in self-defense."?Ex. p{ ? tli LIVERY STABLE BURNS.

' n< The fire department made one of je the quickest runs on record and in a k] very short time had six streams of tt water playing on the flames.

There was $4,000 insurance on the building and $1,500 on the stock. ^ Kills Bride and Mother. Hamlet, X.

J Kissing. x There's no telling who invented ie art of kissing, but its a safe asirtion that no other inventor ever ,w his example so universally lopted or so gosh awfully enjoyed.
