REWARD OFFERED
FOR 7. u. VAUGHN
WHITE RAPIST ESCAPES FROM
STATE HOSPITAL.
Wide Search Under Way
Escaped ElectrocutiOn Because He
Was Pronounced InSane.-To
be Resentenced to Die.

Columbia, Sept. 16.-T. ..
Vaughn. former superintendent of the
Odd Fellows Home at Greenville, an
inmate of the State Hospital for the
Insane, under an order of the court
for observation as to his sanity, es-
capped some time during last night
and has not been apprehended.
Vaughn has been confined in a
ward on the fourth floor of the main
building of the hospital. In the opin-
ion of the asylum authorities he had
secured a pass key and unlocked the
door leading to the fire escape, down
which he escaped. The escape of
Vaughn was made some time between
s o'clock last night and 6 o'clock this
morning. Vaughn complained OF a
headache about o'clock last night,
according to the statement of the
night attendant and said he would re-
tire. This attendant saw no more OF
him. At 6 o'clock this morning he
went into Vaughn's room with a
newspaper and saw what he believ-
ed to be Vaughn's body lying resum-
bent beneath the sheets on his bed.
At 7 o'clock the night attendant
went off duty and the day attendant
came on. About an hour later the
day attendant went to Vaughn's
room to call him as he had not ap-
peared and found a dummy made of
clothing in the bed and Vaughn gone.
The hospital authorities imme-
diately gave the alarm and thor
ough search was made of the building
and grounds. They were forced to
the conclusion that Vaughn had in
some way secured a key and unlock
ed the door to his ward during the
night. None Of the window bars
were broken and the night attendant
who said he was in and out OF the
ward during the night, saw nothing
of Vaughn. DR.. c. Fred Williams,
superintendent of the hospital, says
he has absolute confidence in this at
tendant and is satisfied that there
was no collusion on his part.
When he left the hospital, Vaughn
carried with him a gray suit, an ex-
ira pair of blue trousers, brown
hat and black top shoes and was
wearing a cream shirt. The hosp1t-
al authorities describe him as being
about SO years of age, about five
feet tall, weighing 120 pounds and
eliminate in appearance. He has
light brown hair which is very thln'
almost to badness on the top, has
penetrating blue eyes, rather protru-
ding, is of light sandy complexion and
wears a No. 5 shoe.
The governor has offered a reward
of 5000 for the apprehension OF
Vaughn.

FIRST BOIL WEENIL MEETING.
Held at Ehrkardt, Well Attended.
Next Meeting at Bamberg Sept. 2o.

At Ehrhardt last Thursday the first
boil weevil meeting was held by
County Agent Geo. R. Briggs. The
attendance was about 100 persons,
chiefly farmers. Great interest was
shown throughout the meeting by all
present
District Agent Henry S. Johnson
spoke chiefly concerning the weevil.
He spoke of the damage he has wit
messed in Beaufort, Jasper and Hamp-
ton counties. He advised the farm
ers to plant next year about I acres
to the plow and to plan to fight the
weevil as the other weevil States
have been fighting him. There is no
way Of knowing just how much dam
age to expect next year for the wealth
er this winter and next summer will
be great factor in determining this,
and it is far better to play safe than
to try just one more big crop as it
has been this last crop which has
ruined many.
What to do with part of the re-
naming acres was told by Mr.. V. w.
Lewis, extension animal husbandman,
of Clemson college. More hogs and
livestock and better grazing crops
and pastures was stressed This calls
for more fencing and the cooperative
buying of fencing in carload lots
through the assistance of the county
agent. Plans for this purchasing of
fencing in carload lots was discussed
at the meeting of State, district and
county agents at Fairfax on the fol-
lowing day, and more information
will be available later.
Mr.. F. L. Harkey, of the bureau of
markets, discussed the selling of farm
products. He stated that there was
an oil mill in neighboring city that
told him that they could take care of
as many peanuts as could be raised
in the county. Mr.. Harkey wanted it
understood. however, that he was not
advising the planting of a particular
crop, but that this was only one Of
the things that could be grown and
sold from this section.
The next meeting of similar ma
ture will be held in Bamberg on
Sept. 25. At this meeting there will
be a talk on tobacco given by Mr..
McFadden. district agent, of Man
ming. All prospective tobacco grow
ers are urged to attend. It will be
held in the LaVicteire theatre,
through the courtesy of Mr.. LaVerne
Thomas, where a moving picture on
hogs will be given by Mr.. Lewis, ex-
tension animal husbandman.
Two more meetings, one at Den
mark and one at Olar, will be held,
but the tobacco man cannot be pres
ent at these meetings, but perhaps
the sweet potato storage house man
will be present.
Each of these meetings will be fur
ther advertised by circulars. Watch
them for dates.

GENERAL PERSHINC
IN WASHINGTON
VICE PRESIDENT MARSHALL
GREETS HERO.
Tribute to Women.
Many on Hand to Bid "Black Jack
Welcome at Capitol and Crowds
Throng Sidewalk.

Washington, Sept. 12.-With the
'p,audits of New York and Philadel-
phia still ringing in his ears, Gen. j.
J. Pershing arrived in Washington to-
day and received a foretaste of the
more formal greeting he will receive
next week when he leads the First
Division up Pennsylvania Avenue in
the Nations Victory Parade.
AS he stepped from his special train
at the station, the men who led the
American army to victory in France
heard a shrill cry of greeting rise
from the hundreds of women and girls
who lined his pathway. AS he stood
later with barred head before Vice
President Marshall in the presidents
waiting room to receive the welcome:
of the president and of the nation,
again it was women with flags and
flowers who surrounded him. There
was little of the pomp of war about
this conqueror's return.
The reception with the exception OF
the lines of school girls and women
of the departments, and the greeting
extended in President Wilson's name
by Vice President Marshall, was in
formal. Secretary Baker and General
March. chief of staff, greeted General
Pershing at the train and escorted
him to the room where the vice presl-
dent awaited him.
The arched roof of the big building
where the wide approaches were built
with Just such scenes in mind, roared
with the shouting of the crowd jam
med close along it's path. A military
band pounded out it's formal greeting
Of ssHail to the Chief almost un-
heard. The crash of saluting artll-
lery posted far away by the Potomac
beside the nations stone built tributes
to Washington and Lincoln, went un-
noticed.
Possibly it Was the great prepond-
erance of women in the crowd ABOUT
him that led General Pershing to pay
high tribute to the women of America
in his haltingly delivered reply to the
vice president. In the ungrudslng
confidence the president had reposed
IN him. he said, he had found constant
strength for the tasks that had fallen
to him; but he added that it was the
high courage of the women of Amer1-
ca that had made possible victory
complete and final.
Preceded by a Gathering cavalry
escort, General Pershing was taken to
his hotel by Mr.. Marshall in the lat
ter's automobile. A draped army car
flying the generals four starred BAN
ner. was in waiting, but the vice
president would have none OF it and
personally conducted the man who
has come home as his country's hon.
cred guest to the hotel that is 10 pe
his temporary home in Washington.
All along the line of the swift NOV
ing procession, the street crowds Wav-
ed and cheered. At the hotel streets
were blocked with people and they re-
NAMED for hours after he had disap-
peared within.
When the car drew up at the hotel'
the two troops of the Third Calvary
that had escorted it were lined up
with sabres at present. Reckoning to
him the officer in command. General
Pershing signified his wish to inspect
the men before he went to his room'
and through the opened ranks he
walked with eyes taking in each de-
tail of equipment.

LONDON, Dec. 6.-The R-3S. Great Britain's largest airship, re- gently sold to the United States, Is capable of travelling thirty-four hours longer without refueling than the largest German atrship con- structed before the armistice. She also embodies another achievement in the aerial constructors' art. With her enormous gas capacity of 2,27O,- 900 cubic feet, third larger than that of the R-34 of transatlantic fame. the R-38 has a "lifting power of fifty tons of cargo. This ts sixty per cent. of her total lifting pow CT, S2 tons. The airship's weight thirty-two tons, is reckoned as dead iftage."

steering wheel; but Lucy only nodded
graveiy and smiled no more than
George did. Nor did she accompany
Eugene to the Majors for dinner the
following Sunday evening, though
both were hidden to attend that feast,
which was already reduced in num-
bers and gayety by the absence Of
George Anderson. Eugene explained
to his host that Lucy had gone away
to visit a school friend.
The information, delivered in the
library, just before old Sans appear
ance to announce dinner, set Miss
Minafer in quite a flutter. "Why
George!" she said, turning to her
nephew, "How does it happen you
didn't tell us?" And with both hands
opening, as if to express her innocence
of some conspiracy, she exclaimed to
the others: Hes never said one word
to us about Lucy's planning to 60
away!"
Probably afraid to-" the Major sug-
gested. "Didn't know but he might
break down and cry if he tried to
speak of i'll" He clapped his grandson
on the shoulder, inquiring jocularly :
THAT it, Georgie?"
George made no reply, but he was
red enough to justify the Majors de-
veloping a chuckle into laughter =;
though Miss Fanny, observing her
nephew keenly, got an impression that
his fiery blush was in truth more fiery
than tender.
After the arrival of coffee the Ma
jor was rallying Eugene upon some
rival automobile shops lately built in
a suburb, and already promising to
flourish.
Il suppose they'll either drive you
out of the business" said the old gen.
tleman, "or else the two of you'll drive
all the rest Of us off the Streets"
"If we do Wen even things up by
making the streets five or ten times
as long as they are now," Eugene re-
turned.
"How do you propose to do that?'
SIT isn't the distance from the CEN
ter Of a town that counts" said Eu-
gene; "its the time it takes to get

The Major was skeptical. Dream

figure Of Jun. And while he stood
there, undeniably such a figure, with
jamie and Mary Sharon threatening to
burst at any moment, if laughter were
longer denied them, Lucy sat looking
at him with her eyebrows delicately
lifted in casual, polite inquiry. Her
own complete composure was what
most CALLED him.
Nothing Of the slightest impor'
tance" he managed to say. Il was
just leaving. Good-afternoonl" And
with long strides he reached the door
and hasteneu through the hall; but
before he closed the door he heard
from jamie and Mary Sharon the out.
burst Of wild, ir~repressible emotion
which his performance had inspired.
He drove home in a tumultuous
mood. a Il almost ran down two ladies
who were engaged in absorbing con-
versation at a crossing. They were
his Aunt Fanny and Mrs. Johnson; a
jerk of the reins at the last instant
saved them by a few inches; but their
conversation was SO interesting that
they were unaware Of their danger,
and did not notice the runabout, nor
how close it came to them.
He drove into the Majors stable too
fast, the sagacious Pendennis saving
himself from going through a partition
by a swerve which splintered a shaft
of the runabout and almost threw the
driver to the floor. George swore, and
then swore again at the fat old darkey,
Tom, for giggling at his swearing.
He strobe from the stable, crossed
the Majors back yard, then passed
behind the new houses, on his way
home. These structures were now ap-
preaching completion, but still in a
state of awness hideous to George
though, for that matter, they were
never to be anything except hideous
to him.
In this temper he emerged from be-
hind the house nearest his own and,
glancing toward the street, saw his
mother standing with Eugene Morgan
upon the cement path that led to the
front gate. She was bareheaded and
Eugene held his hat and stick In his
hand; evidently he had been calling
upon her, and she had come from the
house with him, continuing their con-
versation and delaying their parting.
George stared at them. A hot dis
like struck him at the sight of Eu-
gene; and a vague revulsion, like a
strange, unpleasant taste in his mouth,
came over him as he looked at his
mother; her manner was eloquent Of
so much thought about her companion
and of such reliance upon him.
The two began to walk on toward
the gate, where they stopped, turning
to face each other, and Isabel's glance,
passing Eugene, fell upon George. In
stantly she smiled and waved her
hand to him, while Eugene turned and
nodded; but George, standing as in
some rigid trance, and staring straight
at them, gave these signals of greeting

all his little dinners were pleasant,
and that this one was no exception.
George did not move, and Fanny,
following the other two, came round
the table and paused close beside his
chair; but George remained posed in
great imperturbability, cigar between
teeth, eyes upon ceiling, and paid no
attention to her. Fanny waited until
the sound Of Isabel's and the Majors
voices became inaudible in the hall.
Then she said quickly, and in a low
voice so eager that it was unsteady:
"George, you've struck just the
treatment to adopt; you're doing the
right thing"
She hurried out, scurrying after the
others with a faint rustling of her
