Newspaper Subscriptions.

The matter of newspaper SUBJ
scription, "says The Kansas City Star
man, reminds an editor of the Greek
philosopher whose poverty began to
pinch him. One of his friends, sent
word to the men of the city that each
should take a certain kind of wine
and on a certain day go to the philos-
opher's house and pour the wine into
an'empty vat. And so they did, but
each thought that one bottle of wa
ter would not be noticed in so much
wine, and the vat was filled with wa
ter. Thus the philosopher received
no aid. 1t is somewhat that way
with subscriptions. One fellow
thinks he owes only a small amount
and so neglects to pay it. The other
fellow thinks the same and the edi-
tor fares almost as well as the phil
osopher."

Every druggist in the State has
noticed great falling off in the sale
of calomel. They all give the same
reason. Dodson1s Liver Tone is TAX
ing its place.
"Calomel is often dangerous and
people know it, while Dodson's Liver
Tone is perfectly safe and gives bet

Dodson's Liver Tone is personally
by 0 H Patrick who sells
it. A large bottle costs so cents and
if it fails to give easy relief in every

to ask for your money back. 1t will
be promptly returned.

GreenVllle, OCTOBER Io:-l u
Vaughn, on trial for alleged, ,immor-,
ality dusing his term as superintend-
ent of the Odd Fellows Home here,
was put on the stand by his lawyers
to-day and made a clean confession
of his awful crime.
The trial was brought to sensa-
tionaI close when Vaughn broke down
and confessed all. He named twa
other victims in addition TO the three
included in the Indictment. The jury
was out but four minutes and made
no recommendation for mercy, the
verdict carrying the death penalty.
Tears streamed down the face OF
Judge Purdy, named by Governor
Blease as special Judge for this trial.,
Many jurors, court officials and spec
tators alike made no pretence of hid
ing their tears as Vaughn, pale and
broken, acknowledged his crime
Some jurors wept aloud.
In the afternoon Judge Purdy, be-
fore sentencing Vaughn, overruled q
motion for a new trial, which was
argued by one OF Vaughn's lawyers.

Judge Purdy, in sentencing Vaughn
to death in the electric chair, set De-
cember 20 as the date for his execu-
tioh.
When court opened there was no
intimation that the accused would
make a confession. His attorney
had fought stubbornly since the be-
ginning of the case to break down
the strong evidence developed by the
prosecutions little girl witnesses.
Immediately after court opened
to-day, attorneys of both sides con-
suited, resulting in an agreement to
let Vaughn confess in an effort to
save his own life, and that the case
would go to the jury without argu,
ment.
Il have acted devilishly, ! have
acted shamelessly," began Vaughn.
THE devil tempted me and | have
fallen" He pleaded eloquently but
vainly with the jury to save his life,
not so much for his sake as for his
wife and little daughter.
Neither Mrs Vaughn nor her
daughter was in court to-day. though.
they had been with the accused since
the trial opened. He was formerly
assistant superintendent of the First
Baptist church Sunday-school, one
of the largest and most fashionable
