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

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.

Fugitive at Branchville.

Lexington, March 18.?Sheriff Sim
J. Miller returned from Branchville
yesterday with Bence Dreher, wanted
in this county on a charge of obtaining
goods under false pretence. The
warrant was issued by Magistrate
W. E. Lorick, of Irnio at the instigation
of W. A. Smith, who alleges'that
Dreher gave him a mortgage over
some cows when he had no cows in
his possession. The authorities have
been looking for Dreher for quite
awhile, but he was not located and
the matter was turned over to the
sheriff. Sheriff Miller soon traced
Dreher to Branchville and from that
point to a saw mill a few miles from
town, where he was captured.
PREFERS DEATH TO PRISON.
Youth Refuses to Enter Plea of Guilty
to Avoid Chair.
New York, March 19.?"I would
rather go to the electric chair than
spend twenty years in prison," said
19-year-old Harry Shaeffer, in Supreme
Court to-day, when his parents
urged him to plead guilty in the
second degree at his trial on the
charge of first degree murder for the
killing of William. T. Martin, of
Toronto, Canada, last year.
Shaeffer testified that he and an
accomplice, still a fugitive, tied a
towel around their victim's head for
the purpose of smothering his cries,
but that they did not intend to kill
him. The boy, conscience-stricken,
surrendered recently in St. Louis.

Humored Kngland is Preparing fo

Loudon, March 20.?Grave event
are impending in Ulster, accordin
to unionist newspapers, and a rumo
is current that the government i
preparing for the military occupa
tion of the province. Various ind:
cations point to a crisis.
A vote of censure on the Britis
government, moved in the house c
commons yesterday by Andrew
Bonar Law, leader of the oppositior

time to participate in the divisioi
There also were reports of th
threatened arrest of Sir Edwar
Carson and other Ulster unionis
leaders, but it was declared officiall
that there was no truth in the state
ment that warrants had been signe
for such arrests. Sir Edward Cai
son. however, made a dramatic exi
from the house before debate wa
concluded to catch a ti in for Bel
fast.
Called Away Suddenly.
Austen Chamberlain last night de
clared Sir Edward had been calle
away in response to sudden develop
ments in Ireland. Other unionist
asserted that Ulster men no longe
can be restrained from an outbreal
and that Sir Edward's mission is ti
endeavor to hold them in check.
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.

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.
"It is an infamous lie" roare*
Sir Edward Carson, and when th
Speaker suggested a modification o
his language Sir Edward substitute*
for it: "The statement is a wilfu
falsehood."
Shouts of protest and cheers ii
support of both members filled th
Chamber.
Mr. Law's proposition that a re
ferendum of the country should b
taken on the home rule bill and th
local option proposal for Ulster wa
rejected by Premier Asquith, wh
said that he believed the govern
ment's proposal offered the only hop
of a lasting settlement.
Without Loss of IHgnity.
Mr. Law contended that the gov
ernment could avail itself of a re
ferendum without any sacrifice o1
principles or dignity. He declare
if Premier Asquith's proposal tha
the counties of Ulster should vote o:
the question of inclusion in the Irisi
government meant that Ulster wa
not to be driven from the Unite*
Kingdom against her will it woul
be accepted as a basis of discussion
If, however, it meant that at the en
of a certain time the people of Ulste
were to be brought automatically un
s
der the power of the Dublin parlia
ment against their will the unionist
rejected it. 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.
