Missing Located.

Orangeburg, June 6.--J. G. Boykin,
a white farmer of this county, form
erly living between Orangeburg and
Bowman, who was thought to have
met with foul play, as he has been
missing from his home since May To-
has been located by local authorities.
A letter from H. L. Solomon Of Estill
to Sheriff A. NJ. Salley states that
Boykin is now working near Estill at
a sawmill. Boykin left his wife and
several children. He had been threat
ened by citizens of the community in
which he had been living and at one
time was attacked Because of this
it was thought that he had met with
foul play, but his whereabouts having
been found ends this theory.

graph.

Atlanta, June 7.-Additional con-
tributions to the mass of charges and
counter charges in the controversy III
which the local coplice department
Mayor Woodward, Attorney Thomas
B. Fielder, and others are involved,
growing out of the recent alleged use
of a secret telephone device purport-
ing to have uncovered evidence OF
political Vaccinations in the inVestl-
cation of the Mary Phagan murder
mystery, were made today by Attor-
ney Fielder.
In a lengthy card to James r.
Gray, editor of the Atlanta Journal,
Mr.. Fielder endeavors to reproach
him for having published the alleged
report of conversation between
Fielder, A. S. Colyar, Jr., and G. Z
FEBRUARY, of the local detective de-
nartment. This alleged report,
which Mr.. Fielder asserts is spurious
purported to relate to the removal OF
certain papers from the office of the
police department. These papers, it
was claimed, would have an impor-
tant bearing upon the controversy
over the manner in which the Phagan
case was being investigated.
Another card sent by Mr.. Fielder
today to Newport Lanford, chief of
detectives, attacks in vigorous Ian
guage Chief Lanford's alleged part in
employing the telephone device and
his administration of the detective

in is nature, was addressed to Chief

Oil dissolution in the category Of in
adequacy. Neither the Standard Oil
nor the Tobacco trust DEGREES, inter
preting the decisions of the supreme
court, was appealed. Although the
attorney general has reached no final
decision the concensus Of opinion OF
the government lawyers at this time
is that it is now too late to open up
the decree in either case and what
ever action is taken probably will be
supplemental.
From Charles B. Morrison and Olive
E. Pagan, his special assistants, the
attorney general has heard the result
of their investigation of the oil situa-
ton and is now celebrating whether
the district attorney will be justified
in taking further action under the
Sherman law. Should it reach the
conclusion that a trust still exists,
it is pointed out that three plans of
action are open to the attorney gen.
eral. A civil suit for the dissolution
of any new combination: indictment
of individuals, or contempt of court
proceedings.

A PERFECT HOO-DOO.
Class of 1S Pupils Graduate Friday,
June 13, 1918.

Sussex On. j. Dispatch to New York
Times.
Thirteen seniors Of the Sussex high
school regard themselves as singular
" favored of fortune because they are
to receive their diplomas on Friday,
June 13, in the year 1913. The COM
bination is something that can not be
beaten again in centuries, they say,
and they are tickled nightly at the
prospect.
The elders of the sanguine young
graduates are shaking their heads.
They tried to get the board of edu-
cation to change the date of gradua-
tion. The board referred the matter
to the pupils, and the pupils vigor-
ously opposed any change of date.
"It is such a perfectly complete
hoo-doo,' said one of the school girls
today, "that we wouldn't think OF
lettinga nything interfere with it. We
have taken an oath to be at the grad
uation, every one of us, if we are
well enough to stand. If the 13 in
fuence goes straight through, the
charm will be twisted, and it will
mean the best of good luck for US
ALL"
