TWO SENTENCED TO DEATH.
Convicted of Murder of Constable j.
r. COoIer.-TWO Trials Needed.

Beaufort, July 29.-sentence of
death was pronounced this afternoon
on two negroes, Davis Reynolds, and
Jasper Green, for the murder of Dis
pensary Constable ]. R. Cooler on
March 29, last. The day named for
the electrocution is Thursday, Sep
tember 4. All other business of the
court was finished last week, includ-
ing the first trial Of this case, which
resulted IN a failure to agree. So
strong seemed thenecssity of prompt
" fixing the responsibility for this
crime, which seemed shocking in its
deliberate lawlessness, that Judge
shipp summoned another jury and
the new trial was begun this morning
under direction of Solicitor Peurifoy.

HEYWARD TO BE COLLECTOR.
Charleston Man Chosen for the Office
Agreed On By All.

Washington, July 29-Former Gov.
D. C. Hayward, of South Carolina,
will be collector Of internal revenue
for South Carolina just as soon as
his name is sent to the senate by the
president and confirmed, this agree
ment having been reached here today
by the two South Carolina senators
and Secretary McAdoo.
When it was announced last week
that the president had issued an eX-
ecutive order reestablishing the South
Carolina collection district, Mr.. Hey
ward took the matter up with his
friends here and asked the members
of the South Carolina delegation in
congress for their support.
While other names have been dis
cussed it has been apparent from the
first that Mr.. Hayward would be the
man who would be selected. Today's
action verifes these predictions.
Gov. Hayward came to Washington
Sunday with Wilson G. Harvey, of
Charleston, and spent yesterday and
TODAY in a canvass of the situation.
This afternoon it became evident that
ether names would be eliminated and
that Mr.. Hayward would be the win
ner.
When Senator Smith, who has been
active in the matter of establishing
the new district, was asked about the
situation he confirmed the story that
Mr.. Hayward would be named, and
said that the matter had been salts
factorily arranged with the white
house and the treasury department,
and that the nomination might be eX-
pected possibly tomorrow.
The fact that this appointment has
been agreed upon will be good news
to the friends of this popular Caro-
linian elsewhere, as it is in Washing
ton.

VAUGHN REHEARING
PETITION AMENDED
Chief Justice Allows Change in Pa
pers Filed in Greenville Mans
Behalf.

Chief Justice Gary of the supreme
court has signed an order allowing
the attorneys for T. U. Vaughn to
amend the petition for a rehearing OF
the case in several particulars.
Vaughn is under seGtence Of death
on the charge of wrong treatment OF
a young girl who was an inmate Of
the Odd Fellows orphanage at Green
vile. The supreme court recently af-
frmed the sentence of death imposed
by the Greenville county court.
'It is orderd: That it be amended
in the particulars therein mentioned" :"
says the order of the chief justice
signed at chambers at Abbeville, July
26, and announced yesterday by the
clerk of the supreme court.
The following is the petition upon
which the order was granted:
ITO the Honorable Chief Justice and
Honorable Justices of the Supreme
Court of South Carolina.
The humble petition of the de-
fendant-appellant herein respectfully
petitions this court that he be al
lowed to amend his petition for re-
hearing in the said case in the fol-
lowing particulars:
"O By striking out of paragraph
2, thereof, the words of article l, Sec
ton 9, of the United States constitu-
ton and inserting in lieu thereof,
article l, section 10, of the United
States constitution
"(2) By allowing as an additional
ground of said petition for rehearing
the following:
This honorable court has over
looked or disregarded in overruling
the eighth and ninth exceptions here
in, the principle of law that plea
of guilty can not be predicated upon
the facts of the case, and especially
W1luOuI q 1O41u CuI4 VI SAAS P4SN ~
the defendant IN person, especially in
view of the fact that defendants
statement on the stand is inconsistent
with the plea 1t is respectfully and
earnestly submitted that if the court
holds that there was plea OF guilty
in this case it would follow that If
the jury had found the defendant not
guilty, the court should nevertheless
have sentenced him to death. If the
jury in this case had written upon the
back of this indictment Not guilty.
if Notwithstanding its verdict the
lower court had sentenced the defen-
dant to death under his plea OF gull
ty,' would this court sustain the judg-
ment on appeal? 1t would be obliged
to do so if the rule expressed in the
opinion herein be the correct estab-
lished rule"

the owner of the gun and the pur-
chaser of the ammunition used for
the killing. Though the evidence did
not prove Green to have been the one
who pulld the trigger, he was shown
to have been a principal conspirator.

@HE Sunday School workers and
church devotees of the South
give much attention to mis-
a. sions, both home and foreign,
so called, but / want to cry
shame on them, when l run across in
stances of their neglect, as l did yes
terday. Close by the Hitchcock
farms, in radius Of about two miles,
is what is called the "Old John
Blackman" estate. Living on this
place is a gentleman, Milledge Black
man, of about seventy-fve years of
age, and his old spinster sister, Ann,
Of eighty-four years. While looking
for signs of dove field yesterday on
a ride over this place, | ran across
the old couple in what is not as good
as a hove1. The poor, pitiful old peo-
pie are too old to work, even to cook,
ii they had anything to cook, and in
all my experience | never saw such
poverty and want depicted or por-
trayed.
l knocked on the door of the shack,
which was built of old rotting logs,
every day of eighty or one hundred
years old. The whole consisting of
only one swaying, rotten den of about
twenty by fifteen feet in width and
length. The old shaking, swaying,
rotten shack is ready to fall down
and crush the old, pitiful helpless
couple at the slightest storm and
the wonder in my mind is how it has
withstood it this length of time,
against the winds.) I heard slight
noise in the little cabin, and pushed
the door open. The old gentleman
was not in the house, having stag
gered down the hill to little wet
weather spot in clay bank Ono

needed. If the ladies of the town
would take up collection, or make
arrangements to buy and make some
clothes for the old lady, and some
man take the work in charge of at
tempting to fit the old man, it would
be Gods blessing to them.
The old gentleman tells me that he
fought in the War Of Rebellion be-
tween the States, and I consider it a
dirty shame to allow him to go down
to his grave starving and naked,
when he has spent the flower of his
life, very likely, in the mountains of
Virginia and Pennsylvania, fighting
for the Stars and Bars that our fore
fathers believed to be right. l had a
grandfather and several uncles in the
War, and know how feel about it.
If 1 were more able I would not
appeal to the good people of the coun-
ty to do something for the old couple,
but l am willing to start the cOntri-
button ball rolling with donation of
$40; all that I would feel able to
give. If you will send your help,
whether it is money, clothes, food, or
whatever you think is best, to my adj
dress; or if you will write me card
and you live in town I will take steps
to have it sent to my home, and then
sent on to the Blackmans. Or, if
you prefer, send it to Mrs. L. J.

years ago, there was no way to warm

they had had any. The old lady told
me that with the exception of what

they had nothing Of any kind. [ want
