CoL C. A. Martin, in command of
troops in the Coal river valley, received
at each stopping place reports
of army officers in charge of the several
districts. After returning here

well pleased."
EaxEer in the day Col. Martin dispatched
a detachment of troops to survey
the territory up the Hewett creek
valley, with instructions to pass
through the divide near Jeffery and
scour the summet of Spruce Fork
Ridge for a distance of fifteen miles.
Vp to a late hour tonight the details

Col. Martin accompanied Gen. Bandloltz
back to Charleston this evening.
It was not announced nrfcatluir the officer
would return to his command
here.
SECOND MARRIAGE NOT LEGAL
Aiken County Couple Arrested and
Bound Over to Court.
A pecu::ar case that seems to have
rroused much interest in Aiken County
is that of Wesley Scott ond Mrs.
I^na Seigler, two residents of the
Rocky Spring section, who were arrested
recently on a warrant sworn
out by the woman': son charging the
couple with living in adultery: both
parties having a former mate now
living; It appears that Wesley Scott
was married in 1890 to" Miss Celia
Baughman ot the Seivern section who
bore him eight children, and that he
resided with his wife until about two
years ago when the couple separated.
Scott claims that he has since obtain ed
a divorce from Mrs. Celia Scott.
Mrs. Lena Seigler was married
some 14 years ago to Walter Seigler
by the then Magistrate E. Butler
Gunter, now Chief of Police of Aiken
City, and she, too, lived with her
spouse until about four years ago
when he left for Augusta, Ga,. suing
for and obtaining a divorce from her
it is alleged. About four months ago
Wesley Scott and Mrs. Seigler were
married, Scott residing in Augusta
but paying frequent visits to the
Seigler household, which it is alleged
he provided for. Then came up the
question of the legality of the second
marriage. Scott's children claiming
that the couple were living together
in violation of the South Carolina law.
Solicitor Gunter takes the same stand,
claiming that while one State must
recognize the laws of another State,
yet where the law's protection has
been obtained by fraud, recognizance
ean not be given. Hon. John F. Williams,
who is an attorney for Scott and
Mrs. Seigler states that there are
hundreds of such cases in this State
where the principals have obtained
divorce in Georgia and are now married
again and residing unmolested in
South Carolina.
At the preliminary hearing Friday
Magistrate Raborn bound Mrs. Seigler
and Wesley Scott over to the high
Court m the sum of $300 each, and
stated that their's was a case for that
Court to decide.

UNION LEADERS
CAUSE OF TROUBLE
STATEMENT BY GOMPERS HELD
TO BE "HYPOCRITICAL
AND FALSE."
Washington, Sept. 5?Officials of
the United Mine Workers of America
were charged with responsibility "fox
the invasion cf Logan County and the
threatened invasion of Mingo County
by armed forces" in a statement, issued
here tonight hv Harry Oimstead.
chairman of the Operators' Association
of the Williamson field. The
statement was declared to be in answer
to that of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of
Labor, which Mr. Oimstead described
oc? oiwi in mQr?V riPOQ I
false and misleading.'
Mine guards and private detoctivies
are not employed by operators in the
Williamson field, Mr. Olmstead said,
adding that Mr. Gompers had deliberately
misrepresented conditions that
have preceded and surrounded the attempt
to armed invasion." The charge
c-f Mr. Gompers that the uprising had
been caused by the failure of the operators
to put into effect the award
of the government wage board was
characterized as "another falsehood."
"The mine operators were under no
obligations to do so," the str.temem
said, "they having no sort of connection
with the coal fields covered by
that award."

Thp Hour* hv the Side of the Road.
There are hermit souls that live withdrawn
In the peace of their self-content;
There are souls like stars, that dwell
apart ^
In a fallowless firmament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where the highway never ran:
But let me live by the side of the road
And be a friend to man.
ft ft. v ?. ?*- , Let
me live in the house by the side
of the road
Where the races of men go by?
The men who are good, the men who
are bad?
As good and as bad as I.

nor hurl the cynic's ban:

the road?
By the side of the highway of life?
The men who dress with the ardor
of hope,
The men who are faint with the strife;
But I turn not away from their smiles
nor their tears?
Both parts of an infinite plan:
Let me live in the house by the side
of the road
And be a friend to man.
I know there are brook-gladdened
n. idows ahead,
And mountains of infinite height;
That the road passes on through the
long afternoon,
And stretches away to the night;
But still I rejoice when the travelers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan:

Like the man who dwells alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road
Where the races of men go by?

Wise, foolish?so am I.
Then why should I sit in the scorner's

Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in a house by the side
