Nov. 12.?The political' campaign is waging with a fierceness j almost unknown in England. Poll- | ticians on the stump and suffagettes on the battlefield are extremely act? ive. The battle of Downing street, fought this afternoon, when hundreds of suffragettes attempted to storm the premier's residence, assaulted Mr. As <i dth and Augustine Birrell, chief secretary for Ireland, and broke many windows In the Government offices, surp \ssed all previous spectacles of the sort. About 150 women and sev? eral men supporters are in the po? lice station tonight. Following an announcement, by the prime minister in the House of Com? mons, that, if he were still In power at the next session of Parliament, the Government would give facilities for the consideration of a suffragette bill, a large body of women, lnllamed rather than placated by this prom? ise, which was characterized as "nothing more or less than an insult to the calusc," left Claxton Hall in search of the premier. They came upon him on the way to Downing street and immediately formed a hostile cordon around Mr. Asquith. who recently has resorted to all kinds of subterfuges to keep himself clear of the hands of the militant women. Henrietta Williams stuck the Gov? ernment leader, and the premier would have fared badly had not a detachment of policemen run to his rescue. The police had great diffi? culty in putting down the disorders and many of the women had to be dragged fiom the scene, with Moth i 1 half torn from their backs. The rioting continued Into the evening, when squads of women at? tacked the residences of Sir Edward Grey, foreign secretary; Winston Spencer Churchill, home secretary, and Lewis Hareourt, secretary of State for the colonies. Stones crash? ed through the windows of the house, Sir Edwiird Grey's home bearing the hunt of the attack. One band spied Mr. Birrell stroll? ing through St. James Park to his club and swooped upon the aged statesman, knocking his hat over his eyes and kicking him about the legs. When help came and the women were driven Off Mr. Birrell limped to Iiis motor car on the arm of a po? liceman. at.-..

Mr. Churchill tonight addressed a big m? t ting. from which several men adherents of the women's cause w.re dragged by the police. Mr. I Churchill strongly defended tin propriety of Iriah-Amerlans con? tributing to the Home Hub- cause. The cry ol "American dollars" was likely to be used as a retort by the Liberals, he said, since Waldorf As tor bad announced that he was again tin- candid .te of the Conservatives for Plymouth. The principal move of the day was Premier Asqulth's attempt to pla? cate the laborltes by promising to in? troduce legislation solving the diffi CUlty which has arisen on account of the I isborne Judgment. The Labor I party met tonight and declared that ! the scheme suggested by the premier was wholl) unsatisfactory.

IN THE POLICE COURT. \n Interesting and Complicated Case Consumes Much Time. ?rum The Daily Item Nov. 22. (in*- case came up before Record r Wright this morning that occu? pied the greater portion of two hours md t?><>k much hard work on the part of the Recorder and many quea tioni to unravel, for the case ?vas a very complicated one and it was only after a half dosen witnesses had testi Y. d th;.t any solution of the trouble could be obtained and then it was a hard matter to obtain the right one. Lizzie Mack and Jimmie Ross, whose case had been transferred from yesterday to today, were up on the Charge of disturbance of the peace by lighting, cursing and quarreling on Saturday afternoon about 6 o'clock on Divine street. Various causes of the trouble were given by the various witnesses, all of them concurring in the general opinion that it was start? ed when Jimmie tried to make his wife leave the house in which Lizzie was visiting and Lizzie curing him w hile he was on the premises. One Of the witnesses testified that a dress which Jimmie had given to Lizzie, thinking her a single woman at the time, was the eavse of the trouble, another that the trouble was started by Lizzie persuading Jimmle's wife to go on a cotton picking expe? dition with her, Carrie, Jim's wife being tired of selling liquor for him when he did not divide the profits with her, still another hinted at the trouble being caused by both par? ties being partly under the influence of liquor at the time. All of the witnesses testified as a starter that they did not know any? thing at all about the matter, but when questioned, it was found that most of them did know considerable about the difficulty. One witness testified that she had seen the quar? reling going on so she had closed her door in order to prevent herself be? ing mixed up in it; another said that she was passing along the street when the quarreling was going on, but that she had heard cursing, she had not turned her head or stopped to see who was doing it. Still anoth? er testified that he had i ailed to Jim at the tmie that the quar? reling was going on and then stated a little later that Jim did not know that he had seen anything of the fight until Monday. All of them con? curred In the testimony that none of them had seen any of the others, but at the same time they all said that there were so many people pres? ent that they did not know who was there. Lizzie, when put on the stand made an eloquent plea, punctuating it with many graceful gestures and facial contortions. Jim on the other hand showed his skill as an amateur lawyer, pleading in many cases that the questions were indescriminatlng and showing his agility to cross ques? tion a -witness. The most striking part of the testi? mony was the statement by one of the witnesses, when asked if she had ever been in the Recorder's Court before, that she had a forgetful mennuy and that she had forgotten. Most of the witnesses it seems had been up for various offenses, one of I them having only been released from jail. When all the witnesses had been heard, Mr, R. I?. Bpps, representing Lizsie Mack, asked that the Record? er be lenient on her at the evidence showed Jimmie was the chief offend? er, he having struck Lizzie besides being the cause of the row. Recorder meted out punishment to both of the offenders) Lizzie being fined $2.60 and Jim $5.00 for their offenses, telling them at the same time that the fun that they had en j? y< d was w orth it. __________________________ FLORENCE'S CHIEF KILLS XE GRO.

The game was a good one and in? teresting from start to linish, the fre? quent forward pass by each of the teams making a most spectacular one. Several times it looked as if the men receiving the forward pass had a clear field to the goal line, but not once was he quick enough to outrun his opponents and make the goal. The Hying tackles of Todd and Crisp for Laurens and Richardson for the home boys was excellent and could not have been in better form. The stars of the game were easily seen, especially the Laurens side. Todd was almost the whole game for Lau? rens and his work on both the of? fensive and defensive showed the high standard of work 'which a high school boy can obtain. Crisp at left end showed second in brilliancy only to Todd and his work was steady, consistent and heady through? out the whole game. For the home boys the work of Jones, the diminu? tive full hack, and John Haynsworth, at left end, was best, with Richard? son, DeLorme and Robert Hayns ?wortn, coming in strong for their share of the praise and in the vic? tory. Roth teams worked well, the Lau? rens boys showing their excellent training in the handling of forward passes, and the Sumter team showing their ability to go through the line or around their opponents ends for steady gains. Both lines were strong, hut while Sudter had both ends good, only one of the I^aurens ends show? ed his ability to cope with men com? ing his way successfully, although nis work in receiving forward pas^e^ when his team was on the offensive was exceptionally good. Laurens kicked off to Sumter in the tirst (piarter who carried the ball straight on back to within fiften yards of the goal line but lost it an downs. Laurens by successful use if the forward pass and a recover d punt took the hall hack to their op? ponents fifteen yard line, where they too lost it on downs, and w here the ball 'was at the end of the first quar? ter. Sumter put the hall in play on the 1."? yard line and lost it all on an at? tempted forward pass. Laurens in turn tried tin- forward pass with a g< od gain then fumbled and Sumter by means of a forward pass and a good end run carried the ball over for their tirst touch down. Goal was not kicked. Sumter kicked to Laurens and joms recovered the ball, following it *t up by 12 yards on an end run. Sumter then tried a forward pass and Laurens K??t the hall. Lam. ns made >ne successful forward pass hut fail? ed to touch tin- wall on tin second and the ball was brought back. Again the forward pass -was attempted and Sumter got the ball. The half ended with the bail in the middle of tin- field ami in the possession of Laurens. Sumter kicked to Laurens who tried t?> kick but were blocked. Burns recovering the ball. Sumt? r tried a forward pass and Laurens got the ball. Laurens kicked i<> Sumter who math- a successful forward pass and then lost the ball on a second trial. Laurons in turn tried the for? ward pass and Sumter got tin- ball by means of a 10 yard end run and good bucking DeLorme carried the bail o er the goal line for Sumter's second tomb down. rlaynsworth kicked goal. Sumter kicked off to Laurens who fumbled and allowed Sumter to re? cover the ball. Sunn r tried a kick which was blocked. By means ??f end jams-and steady bucking Sum t- r thr<'cLtmn s mad< dlstan? e on downs, the bail being advanced un? til the end < : the quarter.

I_aurena got the ball making _u yards OB one paaa end losing it OB the second. Sumter again made distance on downs by two end runs and a buck. Haynsworth, K., made a 10 yard gain on an end over end run. but Sumter lost the ball on an attempted for? ward pass and fumble. Laurent tried the forward pass but tumbled' and loat 10 yards, then made up and ^ added 20 more yards on a second ^ double forward pass. Twice more the double forward pass used for 20 and 30 yards, and. w ith the ball with? in 4 feet of their opponents goal line, Todd was three times given the ball to carry it over by bucks, carry? ing it two feet the first time, six la? ches more the second and putting ^ the end of the ball one-half inch oxer the line on the third down. Crisp kicked goal. Laurens kicked off to Sumter who tried the forward pass, but lost the ball. Laurens made 20 yards on one forward pass and added 15 more by an end run. By meafis of another 1 successful pass and bucking, the ball was carried to within three feet of the goal line, where, with one more down in which to make distance, the game ended. Sumter did not make any changes during: the game while Laurens made only one, Moore being put in the lat- ! ter part of the third quarter to take Byrd'a pplace who was knocked out, McFadden.
