father, Immediately went to Pickens,
where he surrendered to the sheriff
and was placed in jail. He hag made
no statement.
The tragedy is said to be the culmi-

city between Dobson and his wife last
ing over several years. During this
time, Dobson, it is said, had severely
abused his wife on many occasions.
Trouble of this kind occurred only a
few days ago, reports stated, and the
boys had warned the father that it
must not occur again.
Yesterday afternoon Will Dobson
was in the field at work, and hearing
trouble at the house, rushed to the de-
fence Of his mother. Both he and his
father had re, 0lvers and a number of
shots were exchanged, the father, 1t
is declared, firing first. Young Dob

facts in the case," says the governor,
that this boy was forcibly made to
marry this girl, who, most probably
was not of as good moral character
as she should have been, and that as
soon as the ceremony was over and
he could get himself free and loose,
that he deserted her, and declined to
have anything to do with her. I think
he was fool for marrying her, if the
facts as stated are true, because un-

he could not get a divorce, I would
rather risk being shot or risk my

VAUGHN APPEALS TO U. S. COURT
South Carolina Supreme Court Grants
Stay of Remittitur in Case.

Monday afternoon there was filed
with the supreme court stay of re-
mittitur in the case of Thurston U.
Vaughn of Greenville, who confessed
to intimacy with young girls under his
charge while he was superintendent
of the Odd Fellows orphanage in
Greenville and was sentenced to death.
The stay was granted so that the at
torneys of Vaughn might appeal to
the United States supreme court, on
the ground that the rights of their
client had been invaded by the change
from hanging to electrocution as the
mode of capital punishment for this
State. The remittitur would have
gone down Tuesday if there had not
been a stay in the proceedings.
Vaughn was tried in Greenville. The
State put up an extremely strong case
and Vaughn confessed to the crime
He was sentenced to pay the extreme
penalty of the law. He appealed to
the supreme court, and his appeal was
dismissed by that tribunal, the lower
court oeing upheld in its judgment
and remanded the case to the lower

Ferguson, Alex, (colored).-Con-
vieted by Magistrate James H. Fowles,
at Columbia, S. c., July 1st, 1913, of
failure TO pay Communication road tax,
and sentenced to thirty days impris-
onment upon the public works of
Richland county. u
The following petition, given here
with in part, which was sworn to-
was as follows:
'That he was on the first day OF
July, 1913, arrested and carried be-
fore Jas H. Fowles, magistrate, charg-
ed with failure to pay his comnuta-
tion tax.
"That upon his arraignment he en-
tered a plea of guilty.
"That this plea having been accept
ed by the court, a sentence of thirty
days, at hard labor upon the public
roads, was given him without the al
tentative of a fine.
"That your petitioner is and has al;
ways been a peaceful and law abiding
citizen of the county Of Richland, and
during his life has accumulated means
and property, and his failure to pay
was purely an oversight and u2or
being arrested frankly admitted his
mistake and guilt"
".The constitution of the State o.
South Carolina, in my opinion" says
the governor, clearly provides thai
a magistrate can fine a man not more
than one hundred dollars or thirty
days in prison, and he most assuredlJ
has no right to sentence a man tt
serve without the alternative of fine
and for that reason, the defendant was
granted full and free pardon on July
Sth, 1918"

Mr.. and Mrs. c. NJ. Calbert, 331
West Brook avenue, is suffer-
ing from blood poisoning caused
by fondling Q young rabbit that
was rescued alive from a rattle
snake last week at McClendon
Springs, while the Calbert fami-
ly was camping there. The rat
tier was killed.
The young rabbit had been
crippled by the snake in its at
tempt to swallow it and the lit
tie girl captured it for a pet. In
her pity for the little animal
she fondled it and held it up to
her face soon after the rescue.
It is believed there was some
slight abrasion in her skin
through which the poison from
the snakes fangs entered. The
little girls face and arms are
in bad condition. The doctors
consider her condition serious.
