I nder the dome of the nation's cap tto|, in th" presence of a eonatMM ?SJStCOurse 0jf his fellow citizens, the ^??w president raised a hand toward a prophetic sun that b.rst dissolving clouds and pronounced the occasion a day of dedi. ailon. not of triumph. It was an intensely human, pr> dent breaking Inauguration. With ^'members of his chosen cabinet sur w rounding htm. the Justices of the su? preme court before him, his wife and daughters actually dancing for Joy on the platform below, and William Howard Taft, ex-president of the na? tion, at his aide the new president ^ shouted a summons to all "honest, ? patriotic, forward-looking men" to aid him. extending the promise that he would not fall them in the guidance of their government. While the president's concluding in? augural words were toeotng in tu inultuoun wavea of applause, the re Vgring president crasped his hand and fa listed as a partlotic servant in the rank* of private dUseashtpx. "Mr. President, said Mr. Taft, his face beaming with a smile, ~I wish you a sectsestfal administration and the carrying out of your alms. We sfchrlU all be behind you."

The military aad civic pageant ihat followed thl? climax ef the hlntwic day wan more than flv? hours passing In review. Leaving the capital h.'U at 3 o'clock In the afternoon the lavt of the marching thousands had not a^ saluted the president until long after t darknean had fallen. President Wilson stood for tu i> than an hour under the glare of my? riad* of brilliant electric lights as he greeted thousand* in the long line, among them the hostn of Princeton ^ students, who. an they paMsed bofOWS ? him. nhouted a hearty greeting 'hat he never can forget.

Then began the prneesslon 'rom the MatUt winding to the great amphi theatre at tlie east front of the eap- | Hoi After Chief Justice White, fol kOWOd by tlie other justices of the supreme court, had entered the in- I augural stand, President Taft and J Tresi.l? nt-elect Wilson appeared in j the doorway of the capitol. Their j presence was the signal for cheers from the crowd assembled in the wide esplanade and the huge grandstand, and perched on the roof ot the capi? tal from one end to the other. Reach? ing the stand the president-elect stood f?>r several moments with head bared, acknowledging the plaudits of the crowd. Then with the president, the chosen members of his cabinet, the vice president-elect, the justices and Speaker Clark, he seated himself to await the solemn ceremony, j Meanwhile Mrs. Wilson, the Mistes Margaret, Eleanor and Jessie Wilson, Mrs, Marshall and the Wilson family party reached the front of the plat? form and took seats adjoining the inaugural rostrum. As the gay crowd cheered, Mrs. Wilson, carried away by enthusiasm, went to the front rail and waved to the throng. Her daugh tOOl followed. So did Mrs. Marshall. Before the ceremonies began Miss Margaret Wilson stood upon her chair to view the scene to better advantage. ' Isn't It beautiful." said Mrs. Wilson as they viewed the gay crowd, the We*t Point cadets aod naval cad.a from Annapolis, drawn up Jp review >h fore her. * Isn t it?" said Miss MargarvL, when suddenly reminded that she was standing on her chair, abov^ the heads of all, th*? magnet for thousarnds of peering eyes, she ex ( lalmed: "Oh, 1 arn afraid I am too eonspleuous up here. Eloanor, come up here with me." And her sister . seized another chair and she |oQ stood up and watched the throng. Tbt-n Mrs. Marshall stood on her chair, wavinc to the vice president. "<'orae on in horo," said Speak*-r Clark ft* Mrs. I j Marshall, "and I will give you n.y aaot." Promptly at 1.35 oVlock. wlu-n Chief Justice White arose to admin* j ister the oath and Woodrow Wilson stood with right band upraised to heaven, the most human touching Pieture of Cho day assorted ltfleJf. Mrs, Wilson could not see well from her it. As spryly as a little girl, she moved her <2hair to the side of the rostrum and climbed upon it with the aasiatantance of Lieut. Hogers, tie president's naval aide Grasping the railing, she stood there gazing at the president hh he kissed th<; Bilde and nhe remained standing until his ad? dress was concluded. Then the Misses Wlltton Joijn?d her. When the new president swore to uphold and defend the constitution he stopped and kissed the open Hibie, held in the hands of James L>. Maher, deputy clerk of the Supreme court. Ills hand touched a page, turned at random, and fell upon the 119th Psalm. The verses are thes-2: "I,et Thy mercies come unto me, O Lord, even Thy salvation, according to Thy word. "So shall I have w herewith to an? swer him that reproaeheth me; for I trust in Thy word. "And take not the word of truth i utterly out of my mouth for I hav<> hoped In Thy judgments. "So *hall I keep Thy law continual fy, forever and ever.

Molae at Abbeville Tuesday Baaed on Defec? tive Form of City Ordinance A surprise was sprung by the de? fense in the case of the City of Sumter against Joe Hogan Tuesday, when a telegram wag received by the Record- ( er to the effect that a stay had been gran ed by Chief Justice Gary until he could further consider the City or? dinance under which the liquor cases have been prosecuted to decide wheth? er it was defective or not. However, as tins order from Justice Gary re? ft rs only to the Hogan case, all other Oases will be tried under the ordinance as usual and the prosecutions of the alleged blind tigers will be contin? ued. The order in the Hogan case was granted Tuesday shortl} after noon at Abbeville, where Mr. Harmon D. Moise had gone, as the attorney for Hogan, to make his motion for an or? der of prohibition. Wednesday when seen concerning the matter Mr. Moise made the following statement: "A motion was made before Eugene B. Gary, Chief Justice at Abbeville, for an order of prohibition based up? on the defective form of the (City) ordinance against selling intoxicating liquor, which deprives the Recorder of jurisdiction of such offenses in the absence of a proper ordinance. The Chief Justice made an order forbidding the Recorder from pro? ceeding in any of the cases against Joe Hogan until a further order Is made by him upon further consider? ation of the matter. If Chief Justice Gary finds that on the face of the papers a prima facie case appears showing the ordinance ! defective, as claimed by Hogan, the City will have to pass a valid ordin? ance, but Hogan coul^ not bo. tried under such new ordinance unless It should be hereafter violated by him. The* present ordinance is claimed to be dafeotres in that it adds to the act of -??Hing the condition that the sale ahall be made for a purpose prohibit? ed by the law of the State." it seams bf this that, whether the ordinance is defective or not, there is BOmS loose wording in it on which the defense has caught, at least tempor? arily. As the State Isw forbids the sale of whiskey in this county, the addition to the State law of that part of the ordinance referring to the sal* prohibited by the State hvw, seems to have limited the ordinance instead broadening *ts scope. Recorder R. Dosier Lee stated Wednesday morning that he would not take up the case, under the cir? cumstances, until an order was re? ceived from Judge Gary. In the mean time he will continue to hear other case*. The bond for Joe Hogan has been set at $;;.?;o<?, or f 1,840 ctish bond. An effort was bring mail*' Wednesday morning to secure the proper securi? ties and it in protmble that he will be released on l>ail this afternoon, or as soon as the proper bond is filed. beginning and have always carried at our hearts. Our work is a work of r> itoration.' When congratulations were OVO!*? the justices of the supreme court members of the retiring and Incoming cabinets and otiters shaking the hands of the new chief magistrate, he was ushered to the carriage in front of the stand. Mr, Taft followed him into the carriage. His smile had not worn off and it radiated over the crowd as the new pn sldenl doffed ins hat to the popu? lar,- when tiie procession started. There was hardly a minute during the lo w president's ride from the cap itol to tiu White House thai he did not hour n constantly rising chorus of cheers. As bis carriage passed up IVnnslyvanls avenue and those in each section of the densely crowded thoroughfare spied the visage of the new president, the. outbursts seemed to Increase In volume and enthusiasm. The niusa of humanity that crowded Its way within seeing distance ??!' the presidential carriage could not 1? i>ie lured by numerical estimates, for there was hardly any space on the n\enue Of H I tributary streets which a o not nil< i The bullding : along the m i ge< nu ' fairly hl hh n by their human cov< rings and the sp? dally bulll street stands were crowded lo overflowing Vmld it all was n pro fusion of decoration, varl colored and elaborut . to that th i buildings along JUDGE GARY REVOKES ORDER. HOG AM NOT ENTITLED TO ORDER OF PROHIBITION ON SHOWING. Cases Were Continued of Vntil Wed? nesday?Order Received by Mr. 1 Harmon i>. Moise, Attorney for ivti- I Honor, Wednesday Afternoon* An order was received by Mr. Har? mon i >. Moiee Wednesday afternoon from Judge ESugene B- Gary, Chief Justice of the state Supreme Court, revoking the temporary order which he granted Tuesday to Mr. Moise on behalf of Joe Hogan, charged with selling whiskey In violation of the city ordinance. The oder states: "After examining authorities i And that the petitioner has not made out such a showing for an order of prohibition as to entitle him to the relllef prayed for. The for mer order is hereby revoked, and let the Recorder be so notified." Mr. J. H. Clifton, who is prosecuting ;he cases for the city, stated Thurs? day afternoon that the order had been received by Mr. Moise Wednesday af? ternoon, but that he had not receiv? ed information of it until about 1 , o'clock Thursday, lie stated that In the mean time he had made arrange? ments to postpone the hearing of oth? er cases until next Wednesday, as, in j the absence of a second order from Judge Gary sustaining or revoking the temporary order, attorneys for the de? fense would use this argument of the j ordinance being defective in their cases. In the meantime Hogan has been released from jail on a $2,000 surety | bond. I V. BAULA ACQUITTED. Bo ?oral More Liquor CnldO Tried He fore Recorder. An interesting case tried before the Recorder Wednesday afternoon was that against V. Haula. The charge v.Ms a*Ming liquor, also, bartering, do livering, storing and having in pos seasloa alcoholic liquors, and was in? teresting in that Paula had been ar? rested for dealing in Beerine, when he had been doing this openly for at>out two years. Former Chief of Police J. K. Brad? ford had been notified of the fact that the stuff was being sold ;?nd an analysis had proved that the stuff ?old had less than two per cent of alcohol, the amount allowed by the State law. Since that time Baula and other,-; have boon selling the beerine without molestation. Tlie defense was in effect that no whiskey hud been sold by B^ula and that the selling of beerine had not boon in violation of the State or city law. Tlx.' witnesse for the city were A. Sligh, J. A. Hauck. J. D. Chandler, D. Dean and J. It. Sumter. The jury, consisting of Messrs. W. E). Owen*;, foreman, Wm. Yeadon, W. H. fates, Todd Foloom and H. M. Crow son, rtvturned a verdict of not guilty. it is understood that several mem? bers of the jury were convinced of the fac*t that the stuff sold had a suf? ficient quantity of alcohol In it to product? intoxication, but that lb y were unwilling to convict, because of tlie fact that Haula had been selling the stuff openly, and had not been warned that he was violating the law aiid was not wilfully violating it. Chief J. R. Sumter stated Thursday morning that he would warn nil of the dealers in the eity who had been selling the beerine that they must stop or they would he prosecuted. He would hereafter look upon it as con? traband. Joe Wells, white. was tried for selling whiskey at Joe Hogan's meat market and was found guilty. De? tectives Hauck and Sllgh, colored, were put up by the city to testify against him, while he took the stand in his own del. us. . He stated that lie had never sold any whiskey, did not know that any wui In the shop, even when a Back of it was removed, \\ hu h he did not not Ice. A motion for a new trial was made by Mr. Harmon l >. Moise, Wells' at? torney, but this motion \\a> overruled by the recorder and a sentence of $100 or days imposed.
