that future had great things in store for the
man whose abilities had wrung favor from

Within few days this retres to private

POstOn-C Charleston Division.

Florence, Sept. 29.-The laying of
crossties and rails on the South Caro-

division, was begun here to-day. The
track-laying force began work on the
south side of the Florence-Mars Bluf

McNAUGHTON WILL NOT HANG.
Gov. Slaton Commutes Sentence OF
Man Convicted of Murder.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 27.-The SEN
tence of DR.. w. J. McNaughton, who
was to have been hanged October 3
for the murder of Fred Flanders, to-
day was commuted to life imprison-
ment by Governor John NJ. Slaton.
In announcing his decision Govern
or Slaton said that while the evidence
showed the physician guilty, it was
all more or less circumstantial, and
that expert testimony by physicians
of high standing, offered since the
trial, impressed upon him the falli-
bility of human judgment.
Human life is sacred" said Gov
ernor Slaton. Its protection is the
highest function of the law, and the
Governor, an officer sworn to enforce
the law, should remember the sacred
ness of life to the condemned GRIM
inal as we'll as to the victim.'
DR.. w. J. McNaughton was found
guilty of poisoning Fred Flanders in
Emanuel County, June 4, 1910, and
was sentenced to death at the Octo-
ber term of the Emanuel Superior
court. Mrs. Matte Flanders, wife
of the dead man, was indicted for
completely in the murder. During the
illness of Flanders, and after his
death, DR.. McNaughton, who lived
at the Flanders home, diagnosed the
case as acute nephritis.. Experts who
examined the dead mans stomach
declared that their analysis revealed
the presence of poison. The indict-
ments of DR.. McNaughton and Mrs.
Flanders were based on this testi-
mony.
The case against DR.. McNaughton
had been through all the courts, in
Guiding the Supreme Court of the
United States, before it reached the
Georgia prison board. In each in
stance the original verdict was sus-
tanned. An extraordinary motion re-
Gently was made for a new trial, on
the ground that new evidence had
been discovered, but this also was de-
MED. Governor Slaton had the case
under consideration since the hearing
before the prison board closed two
weeks ago. The board on September
II recommended a full pardon. DR..
McNaughton probably will be con-
fined at the State farm at Milledge-
vile. Mrs. Flanders has not yet
been tried.

BlXBY NOT GUILTY, SAYS JURY
Long Beach Millionaire Freed of
Charge of Wrong Against Girls.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 29.-Geo.
H. Bixby, a millionaire of Long
Beach, CAL, charged with having con-
tributed to the downfall of minor
young women, was found not guilty
by jury tonight.
Judge Benjamin F. Bledsoe in
structed the jury to disregard the al
legations of conspiracy made by Blk
by himself on the witness stand and
to convict him if he were deemed
guilty beyond reasonable doubt. The
offence related to the millionaire's S
alleged relations with Cleo Helen
Barker, a 19-year-old girl, and one
of three young women who have sued
him for an aggregate of s150,000
damages.
BiXby was tried on one of two in
dictments based on charges prefer
red against him by Cleo Helen Bark
er and habitues of resort.
Bixby's defense was that he had
visited the place only as phllan-
thropist, who had spent thousands of
dollars to save young girls and had
been requited by being made victim
of blackmail conspiracy.

DOG TEARS OFF COWS HORN.
Prize Canine and Thoroughbred Jer.
sey Meet in Unequal Combat.

St. Louis, Sept. 26.-The inbred
enmity of dog and COW, shown long
ago by the ''cow with the crumpled
horn that tossed the dog" broke
forth anew in the pasture of Samuel
McCluney, wealthy st. Louis broker
in St. Louis county, when Rodney
Stone, Mrs. T. L. Hausmann's prize
bulldog, tore a horn from the head
of McCluney's prize Jersey COW,
Daisy.
Mrs. Hausman is a neighbor of the
McCluneys in Hampton Park. She
took the bull dog for his daily exer-
else, without the restraint of a lesh
and the result was conhica of tooth
and horn.
