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.

TWO FIGHTS IN ONB DAY
W. B. 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.
