JOHN GARY KYAXS MAY ENTER. If They Wish Him to Make the Race 4 for the Senate. Anderson. March 18.?Former Governor John Gary Evans of Spartanburg was a visitor in the city yesterday. coming down from Walhalla where he has been in attendance upon civil court. The visitor was kept busy during the short time spent in the city shaking hands with his friends and admirers. "I have nothing to say concerning politics while 1 am here," declared Gov. Evans to a representative 01 The Daily Mail. "My trip here has no significance with any political move, and I dropped down to see how Anderson and the people of Anderson are getting along." "Gov. Evans, your friends over here want you to be a candidate for the United States senate," a friend remarked to the former governor. "Well then, they must tell me so," was his reply An Anderson man who is recognized as some prognosticator when it comes to State politics declared a few days ago that in his opinion there are three men in South Carolyia who can defeat the governor for the United States senate. He named Congressman Lever, State Superinten- i . dent of Education Swearingen and Ex-Gov. Evans. This gentleman ; went on to say that he believed the < latter has the best chance of the i three, because he would be an ag- < gressive fighter on the stump. He would come nearer beiug the governor's equal as a campaigner, so the Anderson gentleman declared. t'u- arp wondering what ef-? 1 I iitr ptui'iv _ feet Senator Smith's being in the race would have on Gov. Evans' chances, < if he decided to enter the race. It is 1 a known fact that the strength of ' these two men lies among the same 1 voters to a large extent SUIT FOR A KKAR1>. ? Louisiana Lawyer Values Lost Wliiskers at $00,000. Washington, March 19.?What is the value of a beard? That is a question which justices of the Supreme Court have been asked to de1 termme. The case is that of E. A. O'Sullivan, a prominent Louisiana lawyer, , who placed a value of $60,000 on a ! growth of beard. O'SuHivan, who formerly was district attorney, State senator and city attorney of New Orleans, claims he was forcibly deprived of his hirsute adornment on election day in November, 1908. On that day, he asserts. Paul Felix, a justice of the peace in Jefferson parish, and William W. Stiles, a deputy sheriff, conspired to prevent several men from voting. O'Sullivan claims he went to the polls to advise about the conduct of the election. He asserts that a number of men imported to the election place by Felix seized him and tied his arms. Then he claims. Stiles cut off his beard. O'Sullivan brought suit in 1911 for $60,000 damages under the Federal civil rights act. Felix and Stiles claim the suit was barred by the one-year Louisiana statute of limitations. The Louisiana courts so held, but O'Sullivan has brought the case to the Supreme Court on the ground that the statute of limitations has no application to a suit arising under a Federal statute.

The Daily Telegram lobbyist says "Unless all omens are false, blooi will be spilt in Ulster before th> bouse of commons sees Sir Edwari Carson again." The Marquis of Londonderry am other prominent Ulsterites are oi their way to Belfast, and their actioi is regarded as a challenge to the gov ernment, if, as asserted, any inten tion exists to issue warrants fo their arrests. x * Kxciwnieiii iHrgms. When Sir Edward Carson am Joseph Devlin, nationalist membe for Belfast, entered the house the at tnosphere became heated. Th* Clster leader called Mr. Devlin a lia when the nationalist member declar ed that Sir Edward Carson at on Lime had been a home ruler.

The opposition leade then made his offer of a guarante that the unionists would place n impediment in the way of carryin out the will of the people if the gov ernment would take a referendum o the United Kingdom on the horn rnlp hill and the local ontion nrc posal for Ulster. If Mr. Asqtiith refused the cours suggested, said Mr. Law, it coul only be because the governmen thought, in the words of Winsto Spencer Churchill, that the questio should be settled by bullets rathe than by votes. Premier Asquith, however, looke coldly upon the proposition of a re ferendum. He said he would not g farther than to say the governmen took note of it.
