AGAINST THE DORCHESTER
BOARD OF REGISTRATION.
Governor Ansel Makes Rigid In
vestigation and Issues an Order
to Show Cause.

Charged with malfesance in Office,
general misconduct and negligence,
the board of registration of Dorches-
ter county has been summoned by
Gov. Ansel to appear in Columbia
to show cause why they should not
be removed. A dispatch to; The
State from St. George gives the fol-
lowing about the matter:
The board of canvassers took cog
nizance Of the discrepancy and made
report of their findings to the gov
ernor. AS the result of this report
Solicitor Hildebrand, at the request
Of Gov. Ansel, came down to St.
George q couple of days later In
order to conduct an investigation In
to the affair. He made thorough
and complete examination, going
through all of the records in the
matter and his report confirmed that
of the board of canvassers.
One day this week Mr.. w. H.
Towsend of Columbia, former as
sistant attorney general, was here for
the purpose of further looking into
the matter. He secured number
of affidavits az to the handling of
the books Immediately prior and
after the election. Immediately after
Mr.. Townsend returned to Columbia
the summons were. sent to, Sheriff
Owens for service and they were ser
ed on Wednesday Of last week. &
The board Of registration is com
posed OF Elias Doar of summerville,
Bunk Limehouse Of Beech Hill and
A. ". Rumph Of Grover, the first
named being chairman. Mr.. Doar
is cashier of the Bank OF Dorchester
and Mr. Limehouse Is a prosperous
farmer, Mr.. Rumph, who IS about
70 years of age, is an ex-Confederate
| soldier.
An effort was made to secure an
interview from Mr.. Doar over long
distance phone but he could not be
got on account of the fact that the
wires between st. George and Sum-
merville are down. The alleged false
entries are supposed to have been
made on the first Monday in August,
this being the last regular meeting
Of the board before the prohibition
election.
At this meeting Mr.. Limehouse was
not present and Mr.. Rumph, accord
ing to some Of the affidavits. author
lied o. B. Limehouse to act In his
place. Mr.. Doar, It is claimed. was
the only member of the board IN
position to issue the certificates. II
| is claimed that the majority of the
additional names were negroes and
that they did not appear in person
to get the certificates as Is required
by law, but that they were secured
by other parties.
The precincts where the irregulari-
ties are alleged to have occurred
are all in the lower section Of the
/ county. The affair has cseated no
/ little interest In Dorchester county
and the action of the governor, 1t is
understood. will employ attorneys IN
Eorder to defend themselves against

arm of the man lay the weapon which
had been the instrument of the trag.
edy, a short double-barreled breeclA
loading shotgun, in which were two
discharged shells.
A lamp was burning in the kitch-
en. Tiny clots of blood and brains
were scattered over the bed and over
both bodies.

early morning, one within minute or
two of the other. No notice was
