The Dairy Business.

1t is said that those who don't like
dairying should go out of 1t. or not
engage in IL. Experience has taught
ais that men seldom make money
from any commodity that they do
mot like TO handle. This Is as true
of hogs as OF COWS. There is money
i'm both il you are organized to handle
them and give the matter plenty OF
intelligent care.

VAUGHN SANITY TRIAL NEXT.
Case of Interest to Odd Fellows to BE
Heard in January.

T. u. Vaughn. who was sentenced
to be electrOcuted for criminal as
saul elleged to have been committed
while he was superintendent Of the
Odd Fellows Orphan Home, near
Greenville, will be tried for his SAN
ity before a Greenville county jury in
January. The sanity trial Of Vaughn
was set for Nov. l3, but the Court
Of General Sessions for Greenvillc
county adjourned that day without
taking up the Vaughn case and he
will face jury next January.
Vaughn is confined in the State
penitentiary, where he has been con-
Stantly ever since his conviction in
1912. He fought his case through
the State courts and up through the
| United States Supreme Court, but all
confirmed the sentence Of electrocu-
| ton. When he was taken back to
| GreenVille some weeks ago to be re-
sentenced TO death the Judge. on the
| showing made, ordered that the ques-
| ton Of Vaughn's sanity should be re-
| ferred to jury and no further steps
in his case will be taken until jury
returns verdict as to whether he is
sane or insane.
Vaughn has been apparently in
sane for some months, and it is said
that he sits in the State penitentiary
without saying a word to any one,
and with a vacant look on his face.
| He is said to be nearly a physical
wreck, and many strong men incline
to the belief that he has become in
sane since his conviction. Others
think he is simply feigning insanity
| in the hope of escaping the electric
chair and being sent to the State hos
pital for the insane. That Vaughn is
sane was held by noted alienist OF
Maryland, who examined him while
| in Columbia last spring.

WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA,

HILLSTROM DIED FIGHTING,
"Fire; Let Her Go Never Did
Wrong in My Life :"

Salt Lake City, Nov. 19.-Joseph
llillstrom was put to death by fir
ing squad in the State prison here at
7.42 a. m. to-day. His death was in
stautaneous.
Although self-possesed when he
faced his eXecutioners, IIillstrom had
a sensational nervous collapse just
previously. He tied the door Of his
cell with strips torn from his blan-
kets and fought the guards ferccly
with the handle of broom he had
snatched from an attendant in The
corridor.
Hillstrom retired calmly last night
He remained apparently in sleep un-
til early this morning. About
O'Clock he arose and began to shake
Tic cell door, shrieking as if in night
mare. The outside guards turned in
general alarm and all the prison
officers rushed in.
The prison physician tried with
slight success to quiet the man.
When the guards arrived to take
him away, Hillstrom attacked them

which he had broken in two, leaving
sharp point on one piece. Deputy
| Warden Ure received a slight wound
in the arm from Hillstrom's weapon.

| for fighting For his life"
| The blanket strips he had tied to
the door were then cut, he was blind
folded and led TO the place Of eXecu-
uion, supported by two guards. He
talked incessantly in the few min
utes that elapsed between the time
Of his arrival and the firing of the
death volley. He asked whether any
Of his friends were in The firing
squad and kept saying he was in
nocent and would die like a man.
His voice was clear, but low. He
was quickly adjusted to the death
| chair and the attendants drew aside.

After he was seated the officers ask
ed him il he had anything to say. He
said:
"Gentlemen, | die with clear
| conscience. ! never did anything
wrong in my life. die fighting, not

Goodbye"
When the officer started to give the
| command to fire, HillstrOm yelled
| "Fire!". The squad fired and the
| bullets pierced his heart. He was
| dead in one minute and ten seconds
| after the volley was fired.

CONVICTED OF KILLING NEGRO.
ColletOn Jury Deals Justice Void of
Race Prejudice.

Walterboro, Nov. ia Colleton
county jury, after only 20 minutes
deliberation, last night found a white
man guilty Of the murder Of a ne
gro, something that has not occurred
here since before the war. Qulllie
Osteen, a young white man Of the
upper part Of the county, was con-
Victed, with recommendation to
mercy. for the shooting OF Ernest
Copeland, colored, under circum-
stances, as portrayed by the States
witnesses, Of great brutality. Many
comments have been made on the
verdict and few cases the parallel of
this are remembered TO have hap
pened in South Carolina.
The testimony Of the State was to
the effect that Osteen, accompanied
by two men, Carter and Sullivan,
went one Sunday afternoon in search
of whiskey. and at Caldwell station
came in contact with the negro, Ern-
est Copeland. Osteen, as alleged by
States witnesses, asked Copeland for
some whiskey, whereupon the negro
with an oath stated that he had no
whiskey nor money with which to
buy any.
The State maintained that the ne
gro broke and ran and that Osteen
shot him in the back Of the head.
The defense offered the plea Of self
defense, taking the position that the
negro drew his gun first, a pistol be-
ing found with one cartridge in it
near the body Of the negro. The de-
tense stated that Osteen was not
drunk and sought to show that he
had no evil intent towards the negro,
only shooting in self-defense after
the negro mad drawn his pistol.
The charge Of Judge Mendel l..
Smith was one of the most compre-
hensive and eloquent expressions
ever heard from the bench here. He
explained the entire law Of the case
in a most thorough and Ineligible
manner. He closed his argument
with special reference to the oaths
| the jurors had taken and begged Of
them to find the truth and write it as
their verdict regardless of conse-
quencos.
