Woodrow. was at the time a pro- fessor in the South Carolina College and, Theological Seminary at Columbia, a Pres- byterian school, where he gave courses in natural seience as related to divine revela- tion; In the course of his lectures it de- veloped that Dr. Woodrow presented the Darwinian doctrine of evolution in. such a manner as to, conflict with orthodox teach- ings supported by the Book of Genesis, so the: fundamentalists of that day had him tried and convicted of heresy. His nephew, Woodrow Wilson, who was. later to. become president of Princeton ity and ‘twice, president:..of the Valet Sa ae tiieent over the re- sult. of(the-triak as.were the. leading Sciéntific'men of'the country.” Sahin “i Phe conviction was reversed later by the higher byterian authorities, so Dr. ‘Woodrow Was reinstated and afterward served. as president of the State College until his retirement in 1897. He died in 1907. ELIMINATING LEE (Pampa Times) Lee and Monroe counties are in one senatorial district. Instead of agreement for alternating the Senatorship, the pri- mary is a free-for-all. This time Monroe had two candidates, Arthur Gomez, in-| cumbent, and W. V. Albury; Lee had one, dames A. Franklin, . Franklin, the Lee man, was eli- minated, leaving the second race to the two Key Westers. Fort Myers will have four more years of representation in the Senate by a Key West man. The Fort Myers News-Press charges “political skulduggery.” Franklin “left the mainland” with 850 votes over Albury, 850 over Gomez; but he got.only 75 ia Monroe. Monree cast 2100 votes, enough to put its two men in front. Instead of “‘skullduggery” that looks like more numerous and more united vot- ing.
