J FEDERAL SUPREME COURT DECIDES TWO IMPORTANT SOUTH CAROLINA CASESDISPATCHES FROM COLUMBIA Doinge and Happeningc Thai: Mark, the Progress of South Carotins People, Gathered Arcunc! the State Capitol. Colninbiiu Two important South Carolina cases were decided by the United States j supreme court. Thoma.. K. Peeples, | attorney general, received a telegram as follows from James D. Mather, deputy clerk of .the. court: "Vaugnn vs. South Carolina affirmed with costs; United States ex relatione Brown vs. Ccoke dimissed for want of jurisdiction." T. U. Vaughn, formerly superintendent of the Odd Fellows' orphan home at Greenville, convicted of criminal assault upon one cf his wards, and sentenced to be hanged, appealed to the federal supreme court on the ground that hie constitutional rights had been infringed by a change in the method of execution in this state made after he w&e sentenced. The ; court had already overruled the same " point in the cases of Joe Malloy and Will Betbuce, also appealed from this state. Affirmation of the verdict below now sends VaughD back to the Greenville county court to te re- | sentenced. Vaughn has been for many months j a prisoner for safekeeping in the state | penitentiary. He has not spoken in a { long time and this fact, in connection ; with other peculairities j*f behavior, I may indicate a likelihood of an insan- \ lty plea in case such further defense tactics as remain to be used shall fail I to save him from the electric chair. Frederick Brown alia.s Grant, & j negro wanted in South Carolina for murder, was arrested in Pennsylvania ! but until the decision had stayed off I extradition to this state on the plea i that as a negro he could not get a j fair trial in South Carolina. The j federal supreme court having dismissed his petition, for want of jurisdic? u. i a ^ ' cion. ?5rown win ce uruugm iu uus atate for trial unless he shall devise other means of delaying extradition. Attorney General Peeples has had ; before The supreme court this year.; six cases and in each of them the de- j cisioD has upheld the contention made ' by his sentence. Corn Club Boys Eager to Learn. L. L. Baker of Bis-bopvilJe, state j agent for the boys' com clubs, said while in Columbia recently that plans i are being made for the short course in agrieu'ture at Clemson college, which begins August 9 and continues tor 30 days, Eighty-four prize winners in the ! corn clubs will attend the institution. The scholarships will be given by Clemson college. The expenses of the prize winners will be paid by the banks ; in the respective counties. W. W. Long, state agent, is making arrangements to have 44 rural ministers attend the institute at the same time with the boys. A large number of farmers from all sections of the state will also attend the course. There are more than 1.000 members of the boys' corn clubs in the state. Over 300 ha\e been inlisted in the pig clubs. Mr .Baker was on his way to Win tfcrop college to attend me comerence of the county superintendents of education of the state. Names Sheriff For Kershaw. Isaac C. Hough has been appointed U.v. , Gov. Manning as sheriff of Kershaw county- to succeed W. W.

"Washington.?Great Britain, in * memorandum transmitted to the Unit-! ed States and made public here anc j in London, recites at leDgth lie of- j forts to minimize inconvenience to | | neutral commerce resulting froio the i order-In-council against trade with | Germany, Austria and Turkey, and ! asserts that American citizens have no just grounds for complaint on ec- 1 count of the treatment accorded their j cargoes. No attempt is made to answer tne principles asserted in the American note of \farrh 1 against the : order-in-council and insisting upon) J the right of neutrals to carry on ie-j| gidmate commerce with each other! and to trade in non-contraband with civilians in bell'igerent countries. In transmitting the memorandum Am- j bassador Pago said it. was "merely an j explanation of concrete cases and the regulations under which they are j dealt with." Another note to Great Britain is now in course of preparation at the < State Department and is expected to be dispatched as soon as the negotia- j tions with Germany over submarine warfare have been cleared up. While this communication probably will make reference to the latest memorandum, it is understood that the manner of enforcing the order-in- j council will not be treated e-s relevant ro the question at issue?wheth-j er there is any warrant in interna- j tional law for the powers that Great j Britain and her Allies have assumed to exercise over the commerce of the j world. In its memorandum the Foreign j Office emphasizes the "various special concessions made in favor of the United States citizens" in setting forth k- i U m V* &F, ? .{?

Arrangements for buying American cotton detained and for permitting j the passage of goods bought in Ger- ; many by American before the date of order-in-counc.il are outlined and promise that consideration will be j given to special cases of this kind in the future. According to a summary of ships j detained there are uow 27 vessels i which cleared from the United States I now held in ports of the United Kingdom. Of these eight are : ?id to be : unloading cotton which Great Britain ; has agreed to purchase, seven will be a.llowed to depart as soon ?s items of their cargo placed in a prize court have been discharged, and the other ! 12?three of them American shiys? are the subject of investigations not yet completed. NO PEACE IN SIGHT. President Wilson and Colonel House , Discuss Situation. New York.?Presiiient Wilson doe? not see any prospect lor an early peace in Europe. Col. E. .vi. House, his unofficial envoy to Europe gave 5he President the result of his sojourn of several months in European Capitals where he talked intimately with the responsible officials of the German. British and French Governments, and the information he imparted in the long walks' and talks which they enjoyed reflected definitely the ideas held by both dip- . lomatists and the eilitarv element in each of the countries at war. ColoDel House also disclosed the currents of public opinion in each country as to peace terms. Bryan Addresses FriendsNew York.?William .Jennings. Bryan. addressing a meeting in -Madison Square Garden under the auspices of the "Friends of Peace.-' an org&nizaton of various societies of American citizens. gave his definition of national honor and called upon his hearers to 'cast your influence, not in favor of either side but in favor of peace for the United States and against *?r with any of the belligerent nations." Mr. Bryan reiterated his views regarding his proposal to submit all disputes to an international commission. Russians Still Retreating.
