"A meeting of the Audubon socie-

Inquiry shows that many of the

when the society needed money have
received no notice nor has one been
published in the papers.
These old members have not for
feited their rights simply because
they have not paid dues that have
not been called for when they have
not been needed.
There were 500 of them who paid
Sc each in a lump, with the under
standing that their membership
would continue. All these old men,

FIRED AT TWO SUBMARINES
American Vessel Had Exciting EX-
perienCeS.

--. May 13.-The Ameri-
can steamship Mongolia. from which
the country's first shot in the war
with Germany was fired with such
accuracy that a German submarine
was sunk. arrived at an American
port today from Europe. bringing a
report of another apparent encounter
with U-boat.
The second adventure was on May
4. according to Lieut. Bruce NJ Ware.
the man who commanded the naval
gunner crew which disposed of the
submarine on April 19, the anniver-
sary of the battle of lexington
The Mongolia was on her home
ward voyage, Lieut.. Ware said, when
about midnight on May 4 the wake
of what was believed to be a torpedo
was seen ahead in the moonlight.
The missile, if it was one. passed un-
der the ships bow No submarine
was sighted. but a shot was fired
from one of the Mongolia's guns in
the direction from which the sup
posed torpedo had come.
The gunners on the Mongolia were
jubilant on their arrival. They re-
iterated their conviction that the
shot on April 10 sank the submarine.
1t was fired, Lieut.. Ware said, by
James A. Goodwin, gunner's mate, of
Portsmouth, Va. Lieut.. Ware de-
clared that through his glasses he
saw the shot strike the U-boat's peri
scope and that the hit was followed
by cloud of white vapor as if an
internal explosion had been caused.
After that the submarine did not re-
appear, he said.

HEAD CRUSHED TO PULP.
Aged Father Finds Body of Murdered
Man in Anderson County.

Anderson. May 12.-Another brut-
al murder. similar to the Dodd and
Hutto murders of several years ago,
when blunt instruments were used
in crushing the heads of the victims,
occurred in Anderson county just be-
fore daylight today.
The victim this time was Will
Pierce. a white man, aged forty
years, employed as ferryman at
Browns ferry on the Savannah river.
His dead body. with his skull crushed
into a pulp. was found in the road
near the ferry by his aged. father at
o'clock this morning The fact that
SIS had disappeared from his pock-
cts leads local officers to believe rob-
berry was the motive
Probable Method of Attack.
After making complete investlga-
tion officers say that Pierce was evil
IDENTIFY called from his shanty, locat-
ed near the ferry: that he. with a
lighted lantern. left the shanty to
answer the CALL and as he was going
down a steep hill into the main road
someone concealed behind tree
made an attack on him with an axe,
and that the first blow was glanc-
ing blow. 1t struck Pierce on the
head and the axe glanced, striking
into the bank. The second blow
completely crushed the entire part of
his head. Death was instantaneous.
Coroner Beasley empanelled a
jury, but took recess until addl-
tional evidence can be secured. The
lantern was picked up by the muir
derer and the light was extinguished.
The murderer's hand was covered
with blood and he left bloody finger
prints on the lantern. These finger
prints will be examined by experts.i
Say His Actions Suspicious.
The action during the inquest of
Tom Jordan. a white farmer, aged
forty-fve, living near by, attracted
suspicion and officers sav they found
tracks leading to and III his home
and the scene of the murder. They
also say they found marks where
boy had concealed himself behind
bushes. The tracks are said to have
resembled the tracks of Jordan and
his fourteen-year-old son. 1t is also
said that Jordan was seen in the
vicinity of the ferry some time dur
ing last night. /.
The officers detained Jordan and
his son and have lodged them in the
county Jail until further investiga-
ton can be made. Both father and
son refuse to talk.
Physicians examining the dead
body say that in their opinion Pierce
must have been murdered about 4
o'clock, two hours before his body
was found. Pierce came to South
Carolina four years ago and had been
employed as ferryman for that length
of time. He was man of good repu-
tation, peaceable and quiet. Jordan
moved from Georgia about two years
ago.

Municipal Court
Collects $1,243.26

That the municipal court, with its
enforcement of automobile laws, is not
only having a good influence in pre-
venting lawless infractions Of these
laws but that it is going to be a
source of considerable revenue to the
city, is shown by the first quarterly
report Of Judge Robert E.. Johnson. The
report emphasizes what former Mayor
Willard might have accomplished by
law enforcement.
From the time when the court was
opened, April 10, to the end of the
quarter, June 80, Judge Johnson coll
iected iii fines and fees S1242.2s, which
indicates that the court will be much
more than self sustaining. OF this
amount S1.115.96 was in fines and fees
in the city cases. and $127.30 for state
cases.
The fines imposed by the court to-
tailed s594.S0. The court fees in the
city cases were s141.15 and the Off
GERS fees in city cases We're s64.40.
The court fees in state cases were 1918
and the officers fees in state cases
were s102.61
In the corresponding quarter Of 1915
-idS u IoilCttSu SCt.fV III rs
and a total of s4O2.5O in fines and fees
Of all kinds. The municipal court col
lected in fines and fees in the quarter
Is per cent as much as Mayor Willard
collected in the police court for the en-
tire year ending June so. 1917. His
collections in the year from fines and
fees were $1,64S.9S IS. In the quarter end
ing June 80. 1915, Mayor Willard coll
lected in fines and fees sS70.1e. a little
more than 80 per cent of the collections
of the municipal court in the quarter
just ended.
The arrests during the quarter were
225. of which 1913 were for violations
of the automobile laws. The most COM
mon violations were: Speeding, 3d.:
operating without tail lights. IL;
parking on wrong side of street. TO-:
leaving motor in motion unattended.
Z: running with cut-out open, 5: park
ing in front of theaters, II; parking

FIVE GO TO JOIN ARMY.
Recruiting Takes Sudden Boom Ate
Worry Cuiet Week.


Worry C3iet Week.
After a very quiet week recruiting
for the regular army became lively
cruits left the city IN the evening for
Omaha to enlist in the regular army.
They were William l. Park, 412 South
Second street, infantry; Cloyd G. Don
elson, signal corps; Clyde L. Marshal!
infantry. both Of Gladbrook; Daniel S.
Lamb. field artillery md Elmer F. No
bic, field artillery, both Of Steamboat
Rock.
Parks enlistment has some unusual
features. He was a pens!oner from the
navy. He served an enlistment in the
nav and was discharged in 1913 on
account Of physical disability and was
pensioned. He served in the north At
lantic for some time on the s. S.. Ches-
ter, scouting for icebergs at the time
the Titanic was sunk. While in that
service he contracted rheumatism. He
wanted to get back into the service,
but the navy would not accept him.
He then sought to enlist in the army.
He could not be accepted because he
was a pensioner, but Sergeant White
more. the local recruiting officer, took
the case up with the naval board in
Washington ana secured permission to
enlist Park. who voluntarily sur
rendered his pension. He had long
since recovered from the rheumatism.
incidentally, as this instance shows,
he comes from a patriotic family. He
has a brother, Walter A. Park, who
enlisted in the spring and is in the
aviation training school at San An
tonic, Tex. The third and last brother
tried to enlist, but was rejected on ac-
count Of defective hearing. The boys
are sons OF Mrs. Nora Liscomb, AZ
