THuRsToN U. VAUGHN INSANE ?
Or Is He Merely Putting Up Bluff to
Avoid the Chair

A dispatch from Greenville under
date of October 23 says:
Thurston U. Vaughan, convicted Of
helnous crimes alleged to have been
committed while superintendent Of
the Odd Fellows Orphan Home near
this city, is suffering from mental de-
rangement, in the opinion of Sheriff
Rector, who has just returned from a
visit to the State penitentiary, where
he went to get a prisoner. The. sheriff
said that Vaughan, who, since his in
generation, has been transferred to
the hospital, fails to recognize any
one and acts at all times in a queer
and peculiar manner. If feigning in
sanity, he Is putting up a convincing
bluff, opines Sheriff Rector, who says
that he is a perpleXing problem to
others in the hospital and the peni-
tentiary.
Vaughn is under a death sentence
that has been stayed pending an ap-
peal to the United States Supreme
Court, the decision of the State Su-
perme Court having affirmed that OF
the lower court. Vaughn pleaded
guilty to the charges after withdraw
ing plea of mot guilty" entered af-
ter his arraignment. In a dramatic
confession before the court he ap-
pealed to the jury's sense OF mercy,
but without avail. A verdict OF
guilty" was returned after few
minutes deliberation. Upon the pre-
siding judges refusal to grant new
trial he was sentenced to death.
BY the end OF this month Vaughn
will have been in the penitentiary two
years, and little has been heard Of
him since his confinement there. If
adjudged insane by board of exam
inerS he will not pay the penalty pre-
scribed by the court.
The self-confeSsed criminal has aD-
peared OF unsound mind for more
than year-sO assert persons who
have come in contact with him. Some
went so far as to advance the opinion
that he was pretending insanity to
avoid the electric chair.
TO the observer it appears that
Vaughn is laboring under the impress
sion that he is infested with bugs or
insects. He Is constantly picking at
his hair and clothes, and disposing
Of the imaginary object with an
habitual thump. When not engaged
In this illusion he is brushing off his
trousers or coat with his hand. He
keeps this practice up as if uncon-
scious Of what is going on around
him. In the ward with Vaughn are
several other inmates Of the hospital,
it is stated.

SOME METHODIST MATTERS.
Proposed Division of S. @. Conference
StiH Finds Opposition.
(Cor. News and Courier.)

Spartanburg, Oct. 24.-The re-
port Is current among Spartanburg
MethOdiStS that Rev. A. ID. Belts, of
Conway, will ask the South Carolina
Conference, when that body meets in
Sumter November %, to appoint him
publisher and editor of the Southern
Christian Advocate, to succeed Rev
S. A. Nettles, who will sever his con-
nection with the publication on Janu-
ary 1st.
Discussion is already under way as
to what effect the division of the Con-
ference will have on the management
of the Advocate and as to how the en-
pense of publishing the paper will be
met. The suggestion is made here
that the expense be betrayed by a
conference assessment, with the pro-
ViSo that the Advocate be sent into
the home Of every Methodist in South
Carolina. This would give it a circu-
lation of $4,000 and would greatly
enlarge the scope Of It's usefulness,
according to those in favor of the
plan.
With the division Of the Confer
ence, the Southern Christian Advo-
cate, with Wofford College and Ed
worth Orphanage, will be Jointly
owned by both Of the new Confer
ences, it is said.
The question as to the territorial
line of division between the proposed
new conferences is attracting atten-
tion. DR.. II. n. Snyder, president Of
Wofford College, in an interview on
the subject, said that Of the various
plans of division proposed he favored
one which would include in each new
division about equal areas Of so-called
"up-country" and "low-country," as
he thought South Carolina rather en-
phasized this "up-country" and "lOw-
country idea too much in the past.
DR.. Snyder said he had opposed the
division of the conference when the
matter first came up and that he still
held to his original sentiments. Dr.
Snyder said that in his opinion the
conference had not reached such
alarming proportions as to necessi-
tate such division, which would en-
tail considerable multiplication of
the church organizations without a
gain in efficiency to make it profita-
BILE.
Opponents Of the division of the
conference, which was decided upon
last year, still hope to block the plan.
They propose to use the controversy
over the dividing line as an instru-
ment with which to cause the confer
ence to abandon the project.
