TORPEDO CAN HOLD COURSE
small GyrOscope Used For Steer
ing Purposes by American Navy

Washington, Aug. 7. - Though
the reports of the experts who have
been watching the operations OF
battieships, torpedo destroyers, and
submarines near Provincetown,
Mass, have not yet reached the
Navy Department, officials of the
division of material declare there
is not the slightest probability of
abandonment of the use of dirigi-
bic torpedoes in naval warfare be-
cause of their alleged inaccuracy.
They insist that the torpedo has
been greatly improved in recent
years, not only on the matter of
speed and range but in accuracy
and direction. 1t is true that in
rare instances the automatic steei'-
ing gear of the torpedo has block
ed itself causing the weapon to
take an erratic course but through
the use of a small gyroscope with
the shell it is generally possible to
mold the torpedo on a very accurate
course.

WOMAN SHOOTS GREENWOOD
MAN.
lIoweIy Muse Not Expected to Re

Greenwood, Aug. 5. - Special:
Lowery Muse, young planter of
the Nerdery section Of the county

wounded last night by a negro wo-
man named Leila Fisher. The
shooting took place near the home
OF Mr.. Muse about II O'Clock last

the Rey. j. 3. Muse, of Due West.
His father moved to Due West the
tirst of the year, and since that
time the young man has been liv-
ing on the farm near Verdery. and
1t was near the old home that the
shooting occurred.
The negro woman made her es-
cape. The officers are still search
ing for her. but it is believed that
She managed to catch one of the
late Seaboard trains at Cana. a
small station near, and has left the
State. Young Muse was carried to
one of the Augusta hospitals early
morning. Attending physicians at
Nerdery do not hold out any hope
of his recovery. The abdomen was
pierced by the bullet from 32-
callibre pistol.

CHARGED WITH MURDER
AIKEN COUNTY TRAGEDY CAUSES GREAT
EXCITEMENT
WOMAN DIES FROM THE SHOCK
Occasioned by Beating of Husband
and Nephew by Parties Seeking
to Prevent Marriage Ceremony.

Aiken, August 4. - Special: Ru-
raj Policemen Busbee and Samuels
brought in late tonight A. l.. Hol-
stein, Sidney Holstein, G. c. Hol-
stein, G. c. Holstein and Dock Cock
rell, charged with the death of Mrs.
Ben Spradley, and the severe beat
Ing of Ben Sradley. The cause of
the unfortunate affair was the
planned marriage of Plum Spradley
to daughter of A. l.. Holstein,
which the parents of the girl could
tied the home of Ben Spradley with
the intention of whipping Plum
Spradley.
They had taken him out and were
mercilessly beating him when Ben
Spradley interferred, and he also
suffered severe beating. The eX-
cltement was so intense that Mrs.
Spradley died from the shock. She
leaves a baby of five weeks. Ben
Spradley is now in an unconscious
condition and little hope is held
Tor his recovery. This affair hap
pened on Wednesday night, and
the community is greatly wrought
up over it. Mr.. Ben Spradley
lives within about two miles of
Marietta i'll the Bethel Church sec
ton
Probable Cause of Trouble.
The cause of the unfortunate oc-
currance dates back to a harness
cutting scrape, which took place in
a church in Wards Township, about
a month ago in which young
Spradley was accused of having par
ticipated. A number of young men
went to the church at the time,
and during the services went out
among the vehicles and cut up
several sets of harness.
Mr.. Spradley and two others were
accused of the offence. and were
tried for it. The first trial result
ed in a mistrial, but the second
trial all three parties were acquit-
ted.
But some of the people of the
community seem to think that he
was guilty, even though the evil
dence brought out at the trial was
insufficient to prove this guilt, and
dissatisfaction prevailed over the
outcome of the final trial, and,
for this reason, it is thought that
the affair of last night sprang from
this.
The report which reached the city
this morning has created quite a
sensation, and other details of the
affair are awaited with intense in
terest.

Augusta. Aug. 5. - Columbus
Spradley, one of the victims of the
Holstein might cap" affair in
Ward Township, Aiken county, is in
Augusta, and tonight went into de-
tails, telling of his own flogging,
but was mistified when told that
Ben Spradley had been flogged and
Mrs. Spradley frightened to death.
He was seated on the porch of
Ben Spradley's home, he said,
waiting until $50 the hour fixed
for his elopement with Gussie Mae
Holstein, when the were going to
Saluda to be married. He was call
ed to the gate by az unknown
man, whom he recognized later as
a cousin of the girl. Covered with
shotgun he was ordered to get in
tc a buggy and driven 100 yards
from the house where a party of
six other members of the Holstein
family joined them.
Says Lynching Threatened.
He says they held conference
to decide what to do with him,
and A. l.. Holstein, the girls
father, wanted to lynch him to a
nearby tree. Finally he suggest
ed that he be allowed to leave the
community, but they insisted that
he be punished, whereupon he was
thrown to the ground
and held by some members of the
Holstein mob, while l.. Holstein be-
labored him with a buggy trace
He was left in a dazen condition
and told to get out of the COM
munity, the mob going back in
the direction of Ben Spradley's
home. He walked fifteen miles to
Johnston, arriving there about
daylight, and came to Augusta.
Determined to Get Married
According to Columbus Spradley,
Ben Spradley was evidently flog-
ged inside or in front of his own
home, and not on the same spot
where the young man was flogged.
Young Spradley still has the mar
riage license, procured the day be-
fore the flogging, and declares he
is going back to Monetta and car
ry out the plan he and MISS Hol-
stein had made to run away and
get married.
