L. U. VAUGHN is NOT CRAZY.
DIR. Jennings Says That Former Or
phanagc Supt Is Faking Insanity.
(Greenville News.)

ct. u. Vaughn is no more crazy
than [ am" said DR.. Il. 7. Jennings,
surgeon Of the State penitentiary,
yesterday when asked by a News
reporter why he had not signed the
lunacy papers with the two other
physicians who signed the paper
stating that Vaughn was crazy.
Vaughn is now in the State peni-
tcntiary, where he is being held pend
ing an appeal to the United States
Supreme Court. He was convicted
in a Greenville county court upon a
charge of having had criminal rela-
tiODs with some Of the young girl
inmates in the Odd Fellows Home,
and was sentenced to death. He es-
capped from the county Jail here, was
later captured and landed in the
State penitentiary, where he has been
since.
For some time it has been report
ed that Vaughn, who is an educated
man, was crazy and that he would in
all probability be saved from the cleo
trio chair on this account. A lunacy
commission was appointed to exam
inc into his sanity, and two Of the
physicians Of the three stated that he
was crazy and signed the papers to
that effect; but DR.. Jennings would
not sign the papers.
DR.. Jennings stated yesterday that
whenever Vaughn thinks he is be-
ing watched, he will go to his cell
door and pretend that he is pulling
something off his hands and will
throw it down as if he had cleaned
something off. He will walk around
the cell and repeat this.
At night he will turn his clothing
wron g-side-Out and then put them on
that way the following morning. He
will pretend that he does not hear
anything that Is said to him, and if
an effort is made to get him to say
anything by force, he will pretend to
cry.
His physical and mental condi-
ton is fine" was the way DR.. Jen-
nings summed the whole thing up.
Dr.. Jennings stated that Vaughn
would never look any one in the
eyes, and that he had examined
Vaughns eyes and they bore none Of
the recognized marks Of lunacy. He
stated that there are certain signs to
the medical profession which indicate
insanity and that these signs have
that Vaughn exhibited not a single
sign Of being anything but the keen
man that he is.
DR.. Jennings was accompanied by
his brother, DR.. w. D. Jennings, Jr,
su rgeon Of the police department Of
Augusta, who stated that he had seen
Vaughn, and that Vaughn was doing
a nice piece Of taking, and that he
had been "coached' by a master
hand in the advice which Huff" had
given him.
The failure of Dr.. Jennings to sign
the certificate of lunacy was not ac-
cepted by the Attorney Generals Of
flee, and that office will demand that
a jury sit upon the case to decide
whether or not Vaughn is crazy.
The Drs. Jennings were in the city
several hours yesterday on business
of a private nature and left in the
afternoon for Spartanburg.
When told that the statement re-
garding Vaughn would be written up,
Dr.. r. 7. Jennings stated that it was
ments; but he asked that the story
not be written in a sensational vein.

DEBT-PAYING A REMEDY.

Had you ever thought how much
the single matter Of paying every
penny possible on our debts would
tend to relieve the present stringency
in money matters? We have re-
Gently heard the remark by two diff
ferent parties that 81 am not going
to pay my debts till so-and-so pays
me-" Yet these parties said that
they had the money with which to
pay those whom they owed.
Half the trouble that we are hay
ing at the present time is due to just
such a policy-'I won't pay my bills
because somebody else won't pay
his" And yet we talk hard times,
bewail hard times, and feel that the
country is going to the demnition
bow-wows full tilt. And all the
time we are contributing to hard
times by failing to meet our obliga-
tionS
Let every man who can pay his
accounts do so, and let those who
can pay part Of their obligations do
so, and we will find that hard
times will begin to vanish at once.
The paying of accounts is one Of the
greatest financial stress movers ever
devised. Carried out Systematically,
there is no telling what amount of
bills will be liquidatcd by the pay
mcnt OF small accounts that can be
taken up at most any time, but
which are thought to be so small that
they do not count much"
The Courier is in q position to re-
alize this possibly more than most
people. The weekly newspaper al
ways has this small account propo-
sition to face. and the weekly news
paper people know how much these
small accounts really amount to.
Take The COurier's case, for in
stance: We are dealing with up
wards Of $500 people every year,
and OF this number about | 500 owe
us amounts from 80 cents to $50.
These accounts are small in the
main. Separately, it is true, they
do not amount to much. But let us
consider them collectively. Say that
1,SOO people owe us so cents
and none Of them pays. What is the
result? Each man holds in his
pocket 30 cents that is rightly ours,
and that in the course of time will
be spent for something that he could
do without The debt is still un-
paid. Multiply this thing by I 500
and you will see "where we are at
Just out 5000.
Does the payment OF small ac-
counts amount to nothing? Stop
and think, and you will readily re-
aliZe that, on the contrary. it
amounts to one OF the biggest things
that can be looked after at times
like this to relieve Il stringent fnan-
,cial situation.
Let the people Of Oconee think Of
this. We do not mean necessarily
as regarding The Courier. There are
lots Of small accounts due to others.
and in the aggregate they amount to
just as much as do those of ours.
Raise this policy of suspension Of
debt paying, and get busy at paying
every account that you can. You
Will tind that not only your credit
ors, but You Yourself will be greatly
benefited. There r. mighty little
money these days that remains idle. |
Every dollar that rs paid by one man
TO another is by him paid to some
body else, and in that manner the
pinch is taken on at many points,
with no one hurt. while everybody is
benefited.
Adopt this policy. You will be
surprised at what difference there
will be in local conditions within
even comparatively few DAYS.

KENTUCKY RIVER WORK
ATTACKED BY SENATOR

Washington. Sept. 3-During the
Senate debate today on the Rivers and
Harbors Bin Senator Burton, of Ohio,
used the Kentucky river to illustrate
what he considers the failure OF GER
tain types OF waterway Improvement.
He claimed that the Kentucky river
has naturally ceased to be a traffic
stream OF consequence and that all the
money has been spent and may be
spent upon It. will not increase the
commerce on the river Mr.. Burton
exclaimed:
when the Government had already
locked and damned the stream TO q
sufficient mileage, the cry was give us
two more dams, and Wen double our
freight We gave them two more dams
and their freight fell off and has been
falling off ever since"
Mr.. Burton used this illustration to
prove why he is opposed to much of
the authorization in the bill for work
on small streams.
Senate Leaders said today they will
pass the bin early next week. There
is a belief in official circles that the
President may veto the measure on the
ground that he does not see his way
clear to commit the Government to a
56,000,000 expenditure on internal
waterways improvements at the same
session OF Congress when 10000 900
war tax is levied.
