A GRUESOME FIND
CREATESEXC|TEMENT
Machinery of COrOner's Court
Set in Motion.
"RED.HEADED" AND IN A SHOE BOX
OtficialdOm Excited Over Find
Of Cadaver-Thrilling De-
tails Of DenOument.

The machinery of the Coroner's
court was thrown into action on last
Saturday when the report came from
the neighborhood of Lethe> that a
cadaver had been found in shoe box
in Little River. The sheriff was at
once notified and the feather edge feel
ings of horror and mystery quietly
settled on his honor, Judge Bowie,
Sheriff Lyon, County Constable Chas.
Bruce, and medico to the coroner, G..
A. as they sped toward the scene of
the gruesome find in an automobile.
The goose-flesh had been standing
for some time on the "coporosity" of
the court and attaches when the big
automobile neared the scene of the
shoe box, and the expectant hush was
in evidence as the court approached in
order to view the defunct in the she
box
The only information anent the hor-
ror that had been vouschafed was that
it was "red headed" This information
had been given evidently by the find
er of the shoe box who had doubtless
guessed.
Much speculation had been indulg-
ed in as to what nationality the ca
daver might have claimed and many
phases of the question, such as would
and do naturally arise under circum-
stances of the kind, were discussed
and prospects of guilt pointed out.
So when the bare-headed court ap-
preached the horror it was prepared
in mind and otherwise for whatever
the event.
A "colenmncholy" tone of express
sion pervaded the physiognomy of the
honorable court as the fateful box was
produced and a great stiffness seized
it as the cadaver was unwrapped. The
feelings of the court may well be i'm
imagined when the cadaver turned out
to be not the cadaver of child but of
a small Jersey red Dig.
The honorable court spat, the sher-
iff grunted dry grunt, the county
police said, "well I'll bet makes
no difference what he said-and the
medico had the dry grins.
Excitement, gasoline, oil, Is miles
sloppy roads, time-and shoe box

Vaughn was brought from his cell

Vaughn shows the strain under
which he has been living and appears
to be very blue and doWncast. HIS
ewes are watery and he seems to be
living in the deepest kind Of gloomy
spirits. He is kept confined in tn the
death house within few feet OF the
electric chair, where he has been SEN

On the Negative Side
Honorable Judges, Friends and Oppon-

Honorable Judges, Friends and Oppon-
ents:
When we compare the present con-
ditions Of the cities and rural dis
tricts of our country the superiority
of the cities is Immediately seen. AL
though considerable progress has been
made in the country during the past
few years, it does not near come up
to the standard Of our towns and cit
les.
Take for instance, the roads Of this
county and others. Compare them with
the paved sidewalks and cherted
streets in the city. In few weeks,
when the winter rains and SHOWS
come, the condition of the public high
ways in the country will be deplor-
able-red, sticky mud three inches
deep, and the roads in many places
hardly wide enough to permit the pas
sage of two wagons or buggies. Then
what service will the country mans
automobile be to him? True, this coun-
try is wildly enthused over the pros.
poets of National highways. parcel
posts, etc., but these are dreams OF
the future, while we are speaking OF
the true conditions Of city and country
today. There was a meeting held IN
the court house in Abbeville last
Thursday night for the purpose OF de-
vising a plan by which the roads
might be improved. If the plan pro-
posed at the smoker is adopted, think
of the enormous expense it will be 10
the county. After the county is bonded,
every mans taxes will be raised a
great deal. The poor man will nave 10
bear his part of this extra expense AZ
we'll as the wealthy one. ,
It is often said that the morals OF
the country are better than the city.
7 dare say a persons moral LIE ls
what he is determined it snail De-
whether he lives in city rtne coun-
try. If a boy or man Is not man enough
to pass an open saloon in a city you
NAV be sure he will have his drink
even though he lives in the country:
r all depends upon the person, ana
one who yields to the slightest temp
tation in a city would hardly be De-
vond reproach in the country. .
In speaking of the advantages OF
the city, we might say word IN De-
half of our home town. 1t is now try
ing to secure the Baptist Sanitarium
This would add a great deal to the
town. True, the talk about it may all
be bluff" are we quite sure these
fine roads through the country is not
partly "hot air"
Then look at the good work the
civic club and Daughters Of the Con-
federacy are doing. They stir up the
public spirit of the women, and IN

FATE Of 7LETHE" IN HAND OF
THE STATE SUPREME COURT
Directors Propose Establishing Scholarships in
Winthrop and Clemson From Funds
Court Will Decide Authority.

What will be the fate of "Lethe"?
Will the funds accruing from the
estate be used for scholarships in
Clemson and Winthrop colleges, will
the estate revert to the heirs of DR..
de Ia Howe or will it be escheated to
the State of South Carolina by reason
of failure to maintain the school as
contemplated under the will Of the
founder? -. g.
This question is now before the
Supreme Court, and upon the result
Of the Courts decision will hinge the
determination of whether the school
must be maintained to comply with
the terms Of the will of DR.. John de
la Howe or whether, from the pro-
ceeds of the estate, the trustees have
a right to create scholarships in Win
throp and Clemson for deserving
young men and women of Abbeville
county. "...
At the last session of the legisla-
ture authority was given the trustees
to bring suit to determine whether
they would be within their rights in
establishing such scholarships. In
accordance with this act, the trustees
at a meeting held some time ago
adopted resolution having in view
this purpose, declaring, among other
things, that the income from the estate
(about $4,000 per. annum) was insult
ficient for the maintenance; Of an in
stitution such as was contemplated by
the will of DR.. de la Howe. j.. :;s'..-..
In order to bring the matter. before
the courts, for determination, several
of the trustees instituted injunction
proceedings, asking the court to for
bid the putting in effect of the resolu-
ton Of the board. .-.. ..
The tenth paragraph Of the plain
tiff's complaint Is as follows: .
"That plaintiffs are informed and
believe that If such resolutions are
put into effect and the net income OF
the said estate is, so used that the ef-
feet of so doing will be to forfeit the
rights of plaintiffs and all of her citi-
zens of Abbeville county, in the said
funds and the estate and the same be
escheated to the State of South Caro-
lima, all on the account of the failure
of the trusts created by the said will
and the failure of the trustees to carry
out the terms of the said will, the said
estate will revert to the heirs at law
of testator and the plaintiffs and other
citizens of the county of Abbeville will
suffer great and irreparable loss and
damage"
Judge Memminger, at Laurens, re-
fused the Injunction of the plaintiffs,
deciding that the creation OF the
scholarships in Clemson and Win
throp would be the most reasonable
and practical manner of performing
the trust imposed by the will.
From Judge Memminger's order the
plaintiffs have appealed to the SUI
preme court, and argument was heard
the first of the week. -
The plaintiffs are represented by j.;
Moore Mars, Esq, and j. Howard
Moore, Esq. and the defendants by
Messrs. Greene & Hill.
The board of trustees OF "Lethe,
as at present constituted, is as fol-
lows:
E. A. Mars.
J. B. Holloway.
Albert Gilbert.
John u. Wardlaw.
w. B. Uldrick.
