London, June 22:-French gains
in the west and the battle for Lem
berg stand out as the distinctive
struggles at the present stage of the

reports have reached London that
Lemberg already has fallen to the

The fighting around Arras con-

Germans counter attacking to offset
the recent French gains. A wire

Neutral ports declare that the
battle raging near Arras may de-

U s SUPREME COURT REFUSES
TO INTERFERE IN BEHALF OF
THE CONDEMNED MAN.

Columbia, June 2l:r7 Attorney
General Peoples received a telegram
today announcing that the United
States supreme court had affirmed
| the sentence of death upon I U
Vaughn and had dismissed Vaughn's
appeal with costs. The telegram al
so stated that the supreme court
had dismissed the appeal of Joe
Grant, a negro wanted in this State
on the charge of murder, and who
has been fighting extradition. Grant
will be brought to South Carolina at
once for trial.
The negro, Joe Grant, alias Brown,
is wanted for the alleged shooting
of a white man in Edgefeld county in
1906. He fled to Pennsylvania and
has been fighting efforts of the South
Carolina officials to get him back
here for trial.
1t is the expectation of Attorney
General Peoples to expedite the re-
turn of Grant to this State for trial.
TU Vaughn, who also lost his
case before the supreme court today,
is under sentence of death on a con-
viction of criminal assault. He was
former superintendent of the Odd
Fellows home in Greenville. and his
trial attracted wide attention. He
based his appeal on the ground that
the mode of legal execution had
been changed, after the time his al
legged crime had been committed,
from hanging to electrocution, and
he contended that this was in the
nature of an ex-post-facto law. But
the supreme court overruled him on
this i,point. Vaughn will be re-
sentenced at the next term of the
general sessions court of GreenWlle
county.
Vaughn is atspresent confined in
theleState penitentiary, and it is
stated THAT he has not spoken word
in nearly two years, and that he
constantly acts..as if he is insane. 1t
has been thought for some time that
Vaughn was seither insane or is a
splendid actor, for he has been act
ing as one demented. During the
early part of this year DR. A P
Herring of..Baltimore, while in Co.
lumbia, made a close study of
Vaughn and gave it as his opinion
that the man was only acting. Dur

penitentiarys last week one of the
newspaper men who was along OBJ

 Wheat suffered it's greatest depression when it became reasonably certain that foreign buying had come to at least a temporary halt. The more or less com plete stoppage of European demand was partly explained by drop in Liverpool quotations said to be due to cheaper of- fers from Argentina and India.
 Increased receipts tended to discourage bulls. as did snowfalls henehting the do- mestic winter crop.
 Lessening of export sales handicapped corn and so did the break In wheat Liverpool prices were unresponsive to yesterdays advance. In the oats crowd heavy selling by one of the largest houses continued the main feature.

ACTIVE BUYING OF COTTON RENEWED Advance Attracts Heavy Realizing and Prices
 Ease Off

New York, January 19.-There was a re- newal of the active general buying move ment at the opening of the cotton ex- change this morning, but a further ad- vance of several points attracted heavy realizing and prices eased off in the later trading with the close steady, net points lower to 1 point higher.
 Liverpool more than responded to the local gains of yesterday afternoon, and first prices here were 1 to 10 points high CT. Realizing was heavy from the start, but was we'll absorbed by overnight buy ing orders and during the early trading active months sold P to b points above last nights close with May contracts touching sol or sS.so per bale above the low records Of last month. December sold at e.57c. Houses with Liverpool con- nections were heavy sellers on this ad- vance while profit taking became even more active and as prices began to sag off from the best. local traders seemed to become more confident of a reaction after the recent sensational movement
 There appeared to be very little hedge southern selling, the absence of which encouraged buying on a scale down. but there were rather confliction reports with reefrence to the interior spot markets, while exports for the day were light and offerings of long cotton continued to come on the market during the entire afternoon. Closing prices were or 5 points up from the lowest on covering

Hubbard Bros. X Co.'S Letter

New York. January 19-(Special)-Un der an active demand from Manchester spinners, Liverpool opened excited and advanced some F points before the Amer ican markets opened. As soon as possible orders were sent to realize on cotton held for American account. These orders caused most of the advance to be lost. Our market acted in a similar manner, as many considered the advance as being too rapid, while many thought that it had culminated under the covering by Man chester.
 It will be remembered that during the ranic, Manchester refused to buy cotton unless they were granted the privilege of selling against their purchases in the fu- ture market. Their insistence on this priv ilege was what broke down the agree ment between New York and Liverpool, as the spinners compelled the English government to interfere. They finally bought these contracts at a loss.
 The trade now feels that quieter mar ket is due.

WAVE 0F SELLING SENDS PRICES DOWN Reaction at New Orleans to About 10 Points Under
 Mondays Close

New Orleans, January 19.-After shaping up for an advance in the early trading today the cotton market encountered a wave of selling from longs who wanted profits and prices reacted to a level about 10 points under yesterdays close on the more active months. The close was at a net loss of 1 to points.
 Liverpool was again much better than due, and caused heavy buying around the opening, which put prices to II points over yesterdays finals. Market gossip said that a large line of short cotton was being covered, and that short eover- fng was in no small measure responsible for the recent upward movement. The early rise carried July up to S.S6c, and all months registered new high levels for the season. On the rise there was much talk of a reaction being overdue, but this brought out little fresh short selling. Some hedge selling was in evidence. but the bulk of the offerings was from satis- fled longs.
 Spot brokers reported good demand for the actual stuff. but stated that of ferings were none too liberal Late in the session the market was steadied by the sales of 21,530 bales in the Dallas spot market at unchanged prices
