Blease After Those Fellows Who
Hold Two Places.

Charging that the supreme court
itself is careless of obedience to the
constitution, and declaring that
many members Of the legislature vio-
late the constitution by holding their
seats and at the same time serving as
trustees of State institutions, Gov
ernor BIease sent to the general as
sembly Saturday afternoon a special
message, suggesting appointment of
a joint committee to ascertain what
persons, in the Legislature or hold
ing other official positions. are also

PING OF SON AT SCHOOL.
Pope B. Havird and His Wife Are
Charged With Assault on Miss
Mitchell, an Orphan.

Warrants have been issued against
Pope B. Havird and his wife by the
trustee OF the school OF the Hayirds-
VILE community in Saluda county
charging them with assault and Dat-
terry upon Miss Carrie Mitchell, their
teacher, and likewise for assault and
battery on Willie, Harmon, one OF
the pupils of the school.
The teacher has been having trou-
BILE with one of the ,Havird's boys In
the school and Friday 1t became nee
essary to whip him. The boy who
is about Is years old resisted and
Miss Mitchell, who is young and del
icate, called upon the Harmon boy
to hold young Havird.
After school was dismissed the
Havird boy ran home and told his
father and mother of the whipping:
Havird got in his buggy with his
wife and taking his double barrel
shotgun set out after the teacher who
was on her way home.
Overtaking her, it is said, Eird
tried to drive over her and cursed
and abused her most outrageously.
Havird's wife, it is said, struck Miss
Mitchell with a stick and otherwise
maltreated her. Havird likewise
cuffed the Harmon boy about rather
roughly.
1T is said that Miss Mitchell was
greatly frightened and for little
while was on the verge Of COM
plete collapse. Miss Mitchell is an
orphan. She is regarded as a most
excellent young lady.
The community was greatly IN
censed when the news of Havird's
conduct was learned, but cool coun-
sci prevailed and it was decided to
let the law take it's course. Some
people strongly advocated cow-h1d-
ing Havird.
At meeting Of the trustees HaV-
ird's son was expelled. Pope B.
Havird has caused untold trouble and
annoyance to the people of that
community for the past ten years OF
more.
