I x The defendant claimed that Jefcoat J * had been intimate with his the defend j ^ ant's wife; and that the two had plan- Y W.: ned a meeting on the night of the fatal s "* tragedy. Kirkland asserted th&t Jefcoat was in waiting behind a hay stack f on the premises of the defendant at! ^ the time the fatal shots were fired. He j t also claimed that he had been sus- : s picious of the relations existing be- I tween his wife and the deceased for | c many months prior to the shooting, | * hut that he did not act on these, but ? waited until he was satisfied in his o own mind that Jefcoat had stolen the affectons of his wife. j The trial was featured by strong t j and eloquent arguments by Col. G. T. , ? Oraham and Judge C. M. Efird, for" the defense, both of whom pleaded j ^ the "unwritten law," stressing the j fact that the deceased had but "reap- | ed what he had sown," and what he i I<3eser\ ed. Solicitor Timmerman, for j :> the State, made a brilliant argument j I-; for conviction, his speech being char- i aterized by those who heard as one of j1 the best the brilliant prosecuting attor i ney of this circuit had ever delivered I ^ j on any occasion in the Lexington court 1 room. Judge Jas. H. Peurifoy, of c i Walterboro, delivered a strong and ( f* dear charge to the jury, covering the = law applicable to the case. The jury ~ | . remained out about two hours. At the conclusion 01 tne JtvirKiana j j|| case the court immediately adjourned : for the term, after having- been in scs- ! s gv- sion since Wednesday. Only three J * iSh ' cases were disposed of. but a special v term of general sessions court will be ! r held n November; at which time Judge t . Peurifoy and Solicitor Timmerman e ST;hope to be able to clear the already | k. , congested docket. * This was the first appearance of c \ Judge Peurifoy in Lexington, but he v". soon won the admiration of members * 1 -of the bar as well as all with whom jg?, . he came in contact and he will find 4 a cordial welcome awaiting him upon I^y his return here in November to pre- 1 3 fp:- side over both the general sessions p -and common pleas court. 1 PERCY GUNTER MISSING j 1 I - .

The movement to replace men with women in nonessential work is rapidly gaining impetus and it is the wise man who begins at once to look about It is not intended nor desired by the labor board that haen quit today their present positions if they are working in a nonessential, as it is realized that a sudden c-Qssation of work would cause confusion and congestion.

Rucker, Chairman; Miss Ethel I. Brooker, Publicity Chairman. Practically every township in the | ' county lias been organized with loyal I 1 and enthusiastic committees and ev- j" cry thing points to a successful drive j' for the Fourth "Liberty Loan. This is j' no time, hoy/ever, for a let up and j' plans must be perfected and success- : fully carried through. Over confidence means failure and j 1 I he work is only begun. Each man, i woman and child in our County should !' be given a chance to buy a bond of , the Fourth Liberty Loan and to do . this necessarily means patient and tireless work. The boys and our Allies are at their job all the time. . There is no rest time fotr them and we must stand behind them. Because the allies are winning, gives us no excuse for relaxation. The goal j is not yet ours and the runner needs | j put forth his supreme energies at the !, end of the race. j' , 11 LABOR BOARDS MEET TO (X AS SI FY WORK ] For the purpose of classifying as far as possible occupations considered ' nonessential and reviewing generally the labor situation in their counties, the community labor boards of Richland and Lexington Counties held a joint meeting yesterday afternoon. A list of occupations considered non essential will be prepared and publshed in a few days, and steps will be taken to introduce women into work suitable for them. These two boards, together with other community labor boards over trie state, arc preparing to cooperate 1 fully with the -war industries board in i its determination to see to it that male i citizens go into occupations considered essential to the winning- of the war or else fight. Lexington and Richland j have many interests in common; some I citizens residing in Lexington work in ! Columbia, and the interests of the two j counties are interwoven in many ways j The community labor boards of the j two counties will work together in J many instances for these reasons. !; It is realized that if men quit their I occupations too quickly thtjy may be without employment for a time, and | that if women are introduced into new | occupations too suddenly they may! undertake work for which they are i not fit or labor under conditions not' suitable for women. Community la- i bor beards, according to advices re- ; ceivcd from X. A. Smyth of the L'nited ! States employment service, are to su- j pervisc and steady these movements j of labor into war industries and women into non-war industries. When labor boards have determined | upon a list of industries in which wo- }' men shall be employed, the list is to , be submitted for approval to the fed- j oral director and advisory board of the State, then, the lists as approved are i to !>e published. ; Path to Berlin. b "Tf we can have shells enough in France next year, we can blast a path to Berlin. To liie extent thai we fall j behind in the supply of material we ' shall have to make up the deficit1 from the living bodies*of our young;' men. This is not rhetoric, it is cold precise military calculation. As looft ar> the facts are realized Americans are going to cease carrying on bust- j ness ? o.-.ua! and swarm into war i work, making possible that'Which now j seem:- impes.-.ibU" rays .Mr. Smyth in! a communication received by Federal! Director Tilghman. Continuing the 'communication ; reads: "As you know, our whole war !' program has been moved ahead. Ade !1 quate measures arc being taken to : place an enormous army in France!' early next year. This means that the ; industrial program, required to supply ,; and equip it must be hurried at a pace which today seems well ngh impossi-j1 blc. The war department has project. ed an enormous program, apparent- I ly reckless of the fact that there is not!! enough labor available to carry it; through, in reality relying upon the) will of the A?merican people to drop j everything else and put it through.' The '.'putting-it through depends' in j large measure on the community labor ooaras tnrougnout mt >uue ana na- j tion. Elected Two Women. Acting on instructions from the gov 1 eminent, the Richland County commu nity labor board elected two women j1 as members of the board. They are ' Mrs. W. A. Turner and Dr. Jane B.!' Guignard. The presence of these wo- ' men on the board will enable the mem hers to determine quickly what industries are suitable'for women and what the conditions should he which sur- i round such industries. The Richland County community 'ahor board is now composed of the < following members: T. 1. Weston : chairman: Charles S. Henry, secretary i Irving Soutluvorth. Mrs. W. A. Turner |i and I)r. Jane B. Guignard. Members < of the Lexington county community!) labor board present at the meeting i yesterday were Dr. I>. M Crosson. Clir. i (J. A. Guignard and J. W. Nipper. Mr. and Mrs. -Marion Jefcoat of Swansea route 2. were hero in atten- ! \ dance upon court last week and gave j us a pleasant call.

As a result. Colonel Warren, executve ofheer of the Othce in the absence of General Powder, announced today that it might he possible to hold the drawing for the order numbers of the new registration as early as September 24. General Crowde has previous [y announced the tentative date as Oc tober 2. Figures on the registration are com ing in slowly and are not showing the big increase indicated in the earlier imates. The only final report reeved so far is for the District of Columbia. It was the big incease in this figure which led the provost marshall general yesterday to estimate a registration 8:5 per cent in excess of the preliminary estimates. "The registration is more likely to be about what our preliminary estimates showed," sad Colonel Warren today. "State estimates are changing constantly and we will announce no figures until the state reports are in. I expect now to be able to give definite figures on Monday." Local Boards Assigning Members. The preliminary estimates were for about 12,800;000 men. These were raised yesterday to 14.000,000 on the basis of estimated figures from ten states and the District of Columbia. "Washington is now just like a rnin-* " ?: HIS L'ctmp, SiJIU V^UIUIICI vtulicu, "There are thousands of temporary residents here and these were invited to register here." Local boads are rushing the work of assigning serial numbers to Thursday's registrants. Notice of the serial number will be enclosed to registra" ticn of the 19-20 year and 32-3G year class with the questionaires which now are being mailed out. Eighteenyear-old boys and men 37 to 45 will r.ot receive questionairres at once but are charged with discovering their serial numbers, which will be posted at registration booths by the local boards Serial nuuilifcts?will be assigned all registrants and all will be,included in the big drawing for the order numbers. The ocal boards will then withdraw the order numbes of the men from 37 to 4 5, inclusive, and boys of IS into a sepaate group and the district boards will classify the men 19 20 and 32-36 by classes on dependen cy or occupation. The men to be First Taken. Then when calls are made on the local boards for men the men in class one in the order of their order numbers w:th!n the age group cf 19-20 and 32-30 inclusive, first will be taken. After they are exhausted, if they shall I>e class one men cl* Z~ to 45 years, inclusive, ami 18 years will be called in the order of their order numbers. The 18-ycar-o!d registrants by such time, in most instance would be past 19 years. "It at some indefinite future time it should be necessary to go into the deferred classifications, class two of the earlier registrants vll be exhausted before class two of the registration is invaded." said Colonel Warren today. "The ranic will be true of the more deferred classifications. The district boards will be continuous!}' reclassifying men of the deferred classifications as their status changes in respect to dependencies or occupations. Empoyers .\vho secure deferred classification for registrants on the grounds of occupational nec-es sity is ended. Employers who secure deferred classification for registrants on the grounds of occupational necessity are expected to notify the districts boards when he occupational necessity is ended. Employers "expect this to have a stabilizing effect on labor. "I imagine our men who are given occupational deferrencies will be more likely to stick to us if they know they will lose such deferred classifications when they leave, said Chairman Hurley of the shipping board.
