Kirby was arraigned before.n Magistrate Haselden Wednesday af- i) ternoon on a warrant charging him with a serious statutory offense C against a young girl of the Free State 3 section whose parents allege is under F 14 years of age. After taking testi- l. mony Magistarate Haselden found 1 that the offense had been committed J in Marion county and was therefore A out of his jurisdiction. Kirbv was U sent to jail and will be transferred j to a Marion county magistrate for the ^ preliminary. According to the testimony given u v"' f'ri at the henrine before Mag-I trate Haselden, she left home Sun-;E day morning to visit a girl friend but j V when they arrived at her friend's'L ^ home they found that she was not J there. They went on to Dothan where A they found Dunk and Dudley Kirby.'j brothers of Ed. The girl went riding jF with Dunk. Dudley and a girl friend, j J going as far as Bass Cross Roads. F Later they went to a tent meeting at!C Latta. Upon returning from the tenrJ meeting they rejoined Ed. Kirby.'j "Then Dudley said he would carry 3V me home if I would go with him tc j.V carry Ed. and Dunk. When we got,G to Ed's house Dudley asked Ed. for A the car to curry me home and toldrB Ed. what he had planned. Ed. said he J would carry me to Mullms, and asked E me to stay out to his house and he E would carry me next morning. Told U him I would if his sister was there, but she was not there and I could not stay. Said he had better go on that nieht Got ud and went with him to. 1 j his grandmother's that night Wejtl I-eft there next a. m. between 8 and 9 a o'clock and went to Mullins. We got n there and started on out to George ip ? Kirby's, and when we got out two^i miles from town Ed. said he would j be there in five minutes if we don't E stop, but we are going to stop. I beg-'.A ged him not to stop. Drove on past j J the road he was intending to go, and'j turned and came back and went it Jj He missed the road when he weni'j in the woods and turned round andjC - came back to place he thought suited C f him and stopped. I begged him to go j on but he said he would not. I refus- E ed to get ouf of the car.

She! moved here from Florida with her parents about a year ago and attend- a ed school at Dothau. She says her! mother gave her the date of her birth ^ G and her age and she put in down. SheiV testified she intended to leave home C when she went to Mullins. hut did not'j carry extra wearing apparel with her. |c The mother of the young girl tes- T tified that the girl was born in Flor-jj ida in 1907 and was between 13 andjv 14 years of age. She said the girl i J had been absent from home from Sunday until Tuesday night and she found her at Georg0 Kirby's. When she arrived at George Kirby's the a girl went in the house and shut tin j door but came out again when she n found out who she was F When Rural Policeman Arch Ham-js ilton went to Ed. Kirby's house to o serve the warrant Ed. told him that j the girl had hired and paid him to) take her to Mullins. She said she was . going there to find work. He said he) p put her out 011 the streets of Mullins a and left her. Dunk and Dudley Kirby were f charged in the warrant with abduc- g tion, but there was no evidence to r correct them in any way with the'a alleged offense and they were re-lj leased. : ]! It is not clear from the evidence y whether Kirby is held 011 the charge jj of plain rape or statutory rape. Rape is an assault on the person of a woman without her consent, regard-;* less of age. Statutory rape" is carnal ja knowledge with a girl under 14 years\ of age with her consent. The penalty L. for both crimes is the same. ? ,?... . | A EXPECT HAI-I" A i iu?iWeevil Damage Severe Down in Orangeburg. Orangeburg.

"The history of smallpox is tha as the cold weather comes on^ th? virluence and the number of cases o the disease increase materially, ant as we have already had many case! of smallpox in South Carolina this summer, we may expect a wide spread epidemic during the fal months. "The Jaw provides for compulsor: vaccination, but we hope that th< people will take voluntarily the scien tific, measure of preventing th< further spread of the disease withou being compelled to do so by the law Unless vaccination is resorted to, w< may expect a smallpox epidemic.''

The boy lost n< time in reporting the find and tin body was identified as that of Emm: Montgomery, a negress about 3( years old, who lived on the farm o E. B. Roddey, and the wife of Char lie Montgomery. The woman hat been shot with a gun in the neck ant shoulder and it was evident she hat been dead two or three days. Mr Roddey made positiven identifieatioi of the body, and returning to hit home here, found Charlie Montgom erv hauling wood as if nothing un usual had occurred. Mr. Roddey told the negro of tin finding of the body of his wife, ant he made a vain effort to show sur prise, but Mr. Roddey advised hin to go up to see Chief Bell, which In did. Later he is said to have mad* a confession to the effect that he hal dragged the woman a distance o some two miles to the thick woods out of sight and out of hearing o anyone, and then shot her to death Asked what he did after he shot tin woman, he is said to have repliet that he ran away from the scene ant went to hauling wood. This was ear ly Thursday morning and the negrt worked on through Thursday ant Friday as though nothing naci nap pened. Two or three parties living in tin neighborhood are reported to have seen Montgomery about day-broai Thursday morning dragging his wift toward the woods, with the lattei crying for help and saying lier litis band was taking her off to kill her That no one offered to help is prob abb- due to the fact that no one reallj thought the negro would kill th< woman, and again he was carrying ; shot gun on his shoulder. Xothint more was thought of the incident, i seems, until the finding of the bod: Saturday morning. Montgomery, in his confession, i: said to have admitted dragging tin woman to the point where her bod; was found and shooting her to death JlItOHS FOR SKRTKMREK TER3 OF COl'KT .Monroe McKenzie, Carmiehael.

I ALMOST LOST TEKTI y The "Ed" Tackled a Pair of Mil s and Wooly Dniiiks and Thereb Placed in Jeopnrdly His Store i Teeth. 1 1 Marion Star. e One day last week a pair of visi - tcrs came to town and they brough . with them a healthy jag, which wa 1 soon in evidence. A call was sen . from Winn's Warehouse to the may or's office asking for the services o t a policeman. The mayor was in. bu ? Chief Amnions was not at hand, si f the mayor went out and played cop 1 Upon reaching the corner of Man 3 ning and Wheeler streets he fount s one Miles Mclnnis staggering abou . the streets and using some rathe 1 rough language. The "Ed" introduce* nimseu to *>ir. .ucinnis ana aavisec f'hiin that he would have to eithe ?'go home or go to jail. Mclnnis ob . jected rather strongly to either prop position, so the officer took him ii i charge and started, in his.car, to jail J Mclnnis then asked for a chance t< ; go home, and the chance was givei |him. He was taken back to th< 1 warehouse and told to get'in his ca 1 and leave About that time his car i which had been down Manning stree f to some other warehouse, rolled up containing two white men and a ne - gro. T. W. Miles, a cousin of Mc ?ilnnis, was on the front seat with th t driver, and when Mclnnis told Mile *'what had happened, Miles blew m I with oaths and other evidence of an 'ger, revenge and general outrageous ;ness. The mayor walked up to th car and advised Miles that he wouli 'also have to arrest him for beini s! drunk and disorderly. Miles did no jargue; he simply drew back a might; I fist and smacked the mayor in th mouth?ker-flop! on his store r bought teeth. The outraged office -'of the law then jumped into the ca 3 after .Mr. Miles, grabbed him aroum ? the neck and jerked. Miles cam ? out with tho jerk, and as he wa - passing the mayor on the wing, th f the mayor fell into line, am 3 harking back to the days of boy > hood, "high-senfiled" 'the a 1 read > flying man. Miles struck the groum - with such force that his collar bon i was crushed. While the mayor wa \ holding him down, Mclnnis rushei 1 in and attempted to fight the mayo " off his friend. About that time Mi 1 C. B Fleetwood and Mr. Luthe ' Tart arrived, and one of them struc ' Mclnnis in the burr of the ear an sent him to sleep?ten feet from til 1 scene. Tlie rest was easy. The troti s blesome pair were placed in a ca aipl taken to jail. Dr. Howell wa called to Miles, but after an exami J nation stated that he was unable t . jrelieve"the suffering man, and thai in his opinion, an operation would b " necessary. Relatives came and ol jtained the release of both men. an a Miles was driven in a car to Flo: f ence for medical attention. It is n C ported that he is still alive then and that the surgeons have not opei i' a ted, as they are waiting for ill swollen condition of his shoulder t ^ subside. Mclnnis left town, for th j avowed purpose of employing on 1 old friend, Mr. James Gibson, of Di .
