takkington tkuj* mo UK } ttditor of I*>rcke?Ur lUgle Toll* %l More About Politic? la hi? < ouaty KffV , Editor W. H. Tarkington of the Dprcheiter Eagle, published ?t St. ' George, who wa? recently flapped by Sheriff "Beany" Liroehouse and then aued for libel ami thrown into jail, published the following in the Kagle a short time ago: An pertinent to the pr???nl situation in Dorchester county, in which the sheriff has become absolute boas and monarch, and magistrate, and police, and grand jury, arai petit Jury, court and grand chieftain over all, the following interesting news is published for the edification of the better ; class of people in Uorchester county. This news is not hearsay hut based on affidavits in the possession of an attorney in another county. Read and ponder: During the last United States senatorial race, or just prior to this race, and when Senator Bleaae announced that he would run for the senate, Boasie aftd some of his gang went to see Governor Bleaae m Columbia and told hirn that if he would take up with Joseph W. Tolbert the postmastership at St, George and have the then postmaster retained, that they (Bossie and his crowd) would support Bleaae for the senate. Biease promptly told them that he was not a Republican and had never had anything to do with Joe Tolbert, and that if he waB elected to the senate he would certainly go there under no obligations to Joe Tolhert or any of his gang. Bossie then told Governor Biease that he (Bonnie and his gang) would fight hirn for all they were worth during that campaign. Bonsie did fight Governor Biease during the election, although Bossie had always pretended to be a very good friend of Governor Biease before that time. At any rate, after it was conceded thut Bleaae had been elected, Bossie phoned Bleaae (long distance) and invited him down to Dorchester to go on a deer hunt. Governor Biease refused to go, and Bossie wanted to know why. Biease told him that he (Biease) was not crazy yet?that he (Biease) would not go down there on their invitation on a deer hunt and be "shot in the back and then let them call it an accident." ^ The sheriff of a certain county says \ that Bossie boasted at a meeting of state sheriffs, called by a former governor, of his ability to rule his county. The governor was a>king the sheriffs at that meeting if they needed any assistance in enforcing the laws ? at ate constables, or any other assistance. Bossie got up in the meeting and said that ho did not need any in h;s county, and that he always sent men to the legislature who would furnish him with sufficient help and good^ pay to enforce all laws, and that if' lie found a man who would not back him up as he wanted him to do, he replaced this man with one who w ould. It is understood that another deer hunt was staged in this county last fall, and that certain high state offi?el s were invited and did attend the deer hunt, on the invitation of Sheriff Inmehouse. And this paper in informed that there was plenty of whiskey at the party for the entire crowd. Some party! Some law enforcement officers! "FrenchyV Death Still Mystery Kingstree, June Id.?John Gorman, held in jail since March, charged with the murder of "Frenchy," hermit of Black river, was released by the Will amshurg grand .iury on the grounds of .nsufficient evidence. Gorman, of whom there is little or nothing known, was released following the return of no bill on his indictment. And so the murder of Frenchy is again relegated to the realm of mystery. The hermit was killed near his hut on Black River last November. Little was known of his origin or his life other than he lived for ninny years in this section as u recluse. It was said that Gorman, whose history is almost as little known as that of Frenchy, save that he said that he hailed from Philadelphia, was camped near Frenchy's hut at the time the murder was believed to have been committed. Indictment against Gorman was procured by L. C. Johnson, then working out of the governor's office as state detective. Itallwai Agent Suicides York, June 10.?Robert L. Youngblood, r>0. for 20 years Southern railway agent at Tirzuh, six miles east of York, died at 12 o'clock today from a pistol wound inflicted by his own hand an hour and a half earlier. He was alone in a room at his homo, and was standing in front of a mirror when he fired the shot that ended his life. The bullet from a heavy caliber revolver entered th.e head near the ear, passing through and coming out on the opposite temple. .

Tarkiafto* Accostby Member* of St. George Council St. (leorge, June 13.-i-(Frow Dorchester Kagle).?As W. H. Tarkington, editor of The Dorchester Kagle, was walking along the streets of St. George Monday morning, and as he passed in front of \h# Farter Grocery, the proprietor of the store, C. H. Parler, came out and stood in front of him, saying that a letter had been published in The Dorchester Kagle reflecting on his reputation and that he was going to have satisfaction ' therefore. Mr. Tarkington started to explain to Mr. Parler but before he had gone very far he was struck by Mr. Parler. The blow was returned. Several blows were exchanged, when Mr. Parler being the heavier man succeeded in getting Mr. Tarkington down and choking him, while at the ' same time he was feeling the effects of the battle himself. The combatants were separated af- t ter a crowd gathered, Mr. Parler saying if The Dorchester Kagle said anything more about him he was able to defend himself with his fists, having no redress through the newspaper. Mr. Parler is the mayor of St. George, serving the second term. About an hour later, as Mr. Tark- , ington was getting his mail he noticed D. V. Dukes, a member of the town council of St. George, standing on the street in front of the post office. As he came out of the post office Mr. Dukes said he wanted to see him about the letter published in the paper; that it was a reflection on his reputation; that he had lived here for many years, etc. Mr. Tarkington started to explain all the while walking along up the street. Just before reaching his (Dukes) place of business Mr. Dukes, who was walking on the right side, made a lunge at Mr. Tarkington, striking him in the nose and mouth. The blow was returned, but Mr. Dukes being the heavier man, struck again, knocking him down. The second blow shattered Mr. Tarkington's glasses and cut his face badly. Blood flowed very freely. The editor got up and grappled with Dukes and had him down when the combatants were pulled apart. A crowd quickly gathered and Mr. Tarkington was taken to the home of a friend, where his face was treated, lie was out again in a short while, seemingly none the worse for the two encounters. It was rumored on the streets thut other members of the town council were awaiting their opportunity to administer a similar dose to the plucky editor, but up to this writing no other encounter has taken place. Herbert Young In Nicaragua Washington, June 15.?Some interesting experiences are in prospect for Herbert P. Young of Camden, S. C., who recently arrived in Nicaragua with the 11th Reg iment of Marines, according to an official roster of the regiment. He may remain in the Centra! American republic for several months. I he 11th Regiment will co-operate with the Fifth Regiment of Marines, which has been stationed in Nicaragua for several weeks. It is not known definitely just where Young will be located, as the marines are scattered throughout the country, serving at manj outposts and performing an endless variety of duties while they help to restore peace to the country. Herbert is 20 years old and was boi n in Camden. He lived at the home of his father, Henry H. Young in Camden before he joined the Murine Corps at Columbia in May 1025. Prior to going abroad he was stationed at Quantico, Va., near here, where the regiment was mobilized and dispatched to Nicaragua aboard th? naval vessels Medusa and Aroostook, arriving there late in May.
