REPLIES
TO ATTORNEY GENERAL

Exception is taken by Deputy County
Attorney Milverton with respect to re.
marks made by Attorney Magoon at the
MONDAY meeting of the supervisors on
Wednesday, in which the attorney
raped the new plumbing ordinances
and presented n variety of arguments
upon which to base his charge that ii
would result in the formation of new
plumbing trust and would be eminently
unfair to many good plumbers who
would be unable to pass the required
oral or written examination.
In the course of his statement Mr..
Magoon said the present ordinance, pre-.
pared hv lfr. Milverton, would not
stand the test of the courts. In the
Fame statement he generally touched
upon past ordinances, which he said had
failed TO meet with the approval Of the
courts, stating that Mr.. Milverton had
also had hand IN drawing these.
His remarks were quoted 10 the ex-
tent that MilyertOn WIS charged with
having drawn the former plumbing or
dinance and that IL did not stand n
court test.
Mr.. Milyerton, In letter 30 the
bbhfu ~ hupflflhoIhi says ne nlh not

ed out by the courts,

ment, and was never referred by the

Man MarrieS His
lDauQhter-ID-Layv.
Soartanburg Herald, 7th.

Soartanburg Herald, 18th.
Approaching J. J. Burnett, judge OF
probate, yesterday afternoon, as be
was engaged in conversation with
another gentleman, reporter over
heard them speaking Of marriage in
which there were legal complications,
and asked them about it. He was told
that man hv.ng near the city had
married his daughter-in-law.
Judge J. J. Burnett said that the
man, in applying for the marriage H.
cense, did not mention the fact that
the bride-elect was his deceased sons
widow, and the Judge issued the IL
cense in good faith. Later the record
Of the marriage was returned to Judge
Burnett's Office, as is required by the
marriage law.
Judge Burnett learned that the man
had married his daughter-in-law and,
upon investigation, discovered that
such marriage was forbidden by the
laws of South Carolina. He wrote to
the man, who consulted an attorney
in regard to the matter.
The attorney to whom the man was
referred is acquainted with the laws
of North Carolina, and the matter of
having the marriage ceremony per-
formed anew in North Carolina in Or
der to evade the South Carolina law,
was considered. It was found that
North Carolina had no law forbidding
the marriage Of man and his daugh-
ter-in-laW.
It is believed that if the marriage
ceremony is performed in North Caro-
Lima, where such marriage is al
lowed, the man and his wife can live
in South Carolina without being inter
fered with.
This is as far as the case has prog
ressed, so far as the reporter could as
certain.
Judge Burnett was asked for the
names of the couple, but declined to
give them out. He said it might be
embarrassing to them, and he did not
care to lend himself to any thing
which might bring trouble upon them.
He seemed to think there was danger,
if their names were disclosed, that
somebody might attempt to prosecute
them.

ACT OF A CRAZY MAN.
Cuts The Throat OF His
TwJ0-YeaF-O1d Son.

News reached Washington, d. G.,
on Thur sday morning OF one OF the
most brutal -biooGed and attro-
cious murders ever committed in that
county, when John r. Gibbs, white
man residing in Bath about twenty
miles from Washington, killed his 2
year-o'd son, by cutting his throat
from ear to ear with razor.
The facts, as nearly as can be ascer.
tanned, are that Gibbs who was wild
over, and resided with his mother and
child, Wednesday afternoon came
home and found his son playing on the
floor with another child.
He called the child to him saying:
"Come here, honey, daddy wants
you," and took the child in an adjoin'
ing room.
His sister happened to pass the door
a few minutes later, and hearing a
gurgling noise, thought the father
was putting his son to sleep. She
opened the door and was Mortified to
find the child lying on the bed with
his throat slashed from ear to ear and
nearly severed from its body.
She Immediately screamed, and the
rest of the family rushed into the room,
the father IN the meantime leisurely
walked out on the porch, and sat down
as if nothing had happened.
When questioned, he said he had a
motive in killing the child, but would
not divulge it. The murderer was ar
rested and brought to Washington and
placed in jail.
Feeling is strong against the prison
er in the town of Bath, and much in
dignation has been expressed over the
affair. A coroner's inquest was held
over the child's body and verdict
rendered that the child came to its
death at the hand of John 2. Gibbs.
Opinion is divided as to prisoners
sanity. Some think he was crazed by
dope or whiskey. His mental condi-
ton will be inquired into by the au-
thorities.
