Brazzils Lodged in Jail. * ? 1 ?nartrorn TTinff .Lancaster, iuaj | returned at 1 o'clock this morning ' from holding an inquest last night over the body of W. P. Vaughn, who I was shot and killed last evening in the Heath Springs section by Ben and John Brazzil, father and son, as charged by the verdict of the coroner's jury. The Brazzils are now in jail, having come to town and voluntarily surrendered last night. The tragedy occurred in the yard of the Brazzil home. The trouble started a few days ago, when, it is said, that Vaughn, who lived across n the road from the Brazzils, went to the house of the latter and fired several shots about the premises, some of the shots hitting the barn. In the fight yesterday a number of shots were fired by the Brazzils, as many as seven taking effect, Vaughn receiving five pistol wounds and two gunshot wounds, which were in the breast, shoulder, back and hand in which he held his pistol. He had started toward his home when he fell and expired in a few moments. Mr. Vaughn was a son of the late "r~1? n onH was flhnnf vpars IJUiixi vauguu uuu ?~ ? old. He leaves a family. He and j Ben Brazzil were brothers-in-law. Every man should recognize him- i self as a factor in his home town and become a soldier of the common good. Why not? We are mutually j dependent, every one of us, from! the sunrise to the sunset of life, for no man lives to or for himself alone. The utterly selfish man is a misfit in the scheme of human existence, is a libel upon a beneficent providence. > t i i ANOTHER MISTRIAL. Jurors Cannot Agree the Second Time in Sensational Cace. Aiken, May 12.?After consuming the whole of yesterday and late into last night the "cow case" resulted in a mistrial on the order of Magistrate Smoak this morning. This is probably the first case in the history ;of Aiken county, or perhaps in the i' ., _ . . . ? , . , staie, wnere a jury was locKea ujy all night in a magistrate's misdemeanor case. In this case Judson Fox, a white farmer, and two negroes, 'Squire Matthews and Jim Simpkins, were charged with selling the meat of a bull that had died a natural death. The case had been tried once before, resulting in a mistrial at that time. Yesterday the crowd was so large and the interest so intense that Magistrate Smoak removed his court to the court house, which was almost filled. It was charged that the men were bringing a cow to Aiken when it became afflicted in some manner and died by the roadside. They are charged with having "butchered" the dead cow and sold the flesh to residents of that section for a "nice young heifer." A number of witnesses were sworn testifying that they ate of the meat and that they became ill from it. Other testified that they ate some of it and that they were not made sick. The de- i fendants stoutly maintained their innocence and declared that when they had gone a considerable distance toward Aiken with the animal it became irate and "sulled," that no amount of persuasion could move the bull, and that as a final resort they cut its throat and that the other wit/hesses had mistaken the rigidity of the animal, which they say always accompanies "sull," for death. The case went to the j'ury last night at 8 o'clock and they were not allowed to leave the jury room until 9 this morning, when the mistrial was ordered. Wife Slayer Not Pardoned. Columbia, May 15.?Formal an nouncement has been made here that Gov. Blease has refused to grant the petition for pardon of W. T. Jones, the wealthy Union planter, convicted of having brutally murdered his wife, this being the endorsement by the governor: "In view of the statement and recommendation made by the Hon. T. S. Sease, then solicitor and now judge, of the Seventh judicial circuit, who prosecuted the case against the petitioner for pardon; of the history of the case given by the Hon. R. W. Memminger, presiding judge, at the trial at which the petitioner or applicant was convicted, and also of the present status of the case, I am constrained to deny this application for pardon and the same is therefore hereby denied." Jones, now a prisoner in the Union county jail, has an appeal in the State Supreme Court, but it is believed that the tribunal will again deny him his requests. It is of course possible that the governor may later consider the case again. Jones was convicted of the killing of his wife either by giving her poison or forcing her to take the deadly stuff. That was three years ago. Since then the convict has battled desperately in the courts for reversal, but without success. He has been sentenced to life imprisonment and his third appeal to the supreme court is upon the grounds of after-discovered evidence in his favor. STACK BROTHERS HELD. Coroner's Jury Accuses Them of Killing Raymond McManus. Lancaster, May 15.?Coroner King returned this morning about four o'clock from holding an inquest last night in the Tradesville section, 14 miles from Lancaster, over the body of Raymond McManus, who was shot and killed yesterday afternoon by ~ - ? * * i i ii j waiter stacK, as cnargea Dy me jmy of inquest. The verdict also charges Will Stack, brother of Walter Stack, with being an accessory to the killing. Parties are all white. The Stacks, both young men, sons of Sebe Stack, are now in jail. They were on their -way to town last night to surrender when they met the coroner going to hold the inquest. They were taken back to the inquest and brought here this morning. The homicide occurred in the yard of Bunk Stack, kinsman of the other Stacks, whose home is about a mile from Tradesville, and grew out of a friendly tussle. The parties, it is said, were drinking. It is alleged that McManus and Will Stack were scuffling on the ground when the former seized the latter by the throat, and that Walter called upon McManus to turn his brother loose, and upon his declining to do so Walter shot him with .44 calibre pistol, the ball entering in front, near the right shoulder, and coming out in rear, below the left shoulder. Death ensued in an hour and a half. The deceased was a son of C. R. McManus and was about 30 years I old. He leaves a family. i ^ ... * * 'V : V s -s . 4 " . . NEGRO CARPENTER ARRESTED. Accused of Attempting Criminal Assault on Mulatto Girl. Florence, May 12.?Magistrate C. S. McClenaghan yesterday arrested Phillip Wright, a negro carpenter, charged with burglary and larceny and attempted criminal assault on a mulato girl in the city. The affidavit was made E. B. Webster, a well known school teacher and prominent negro worker in all matters pertaining to the development of the negro race in this sec tion. The girl was a member of his family. Wright will be given a hearing on Monday. Wright is well known here, and is now employed on a building in progress. The assault is said to have been committed on the night of May 1. Model Print Shop. While in Bamberg Saturday the editor of The Advertiser called at the office of The Herald to see Brother Knight. Having only a short time in Bamberg, the eastbound train being almost due, we regretted that we could not remain until \Tr Knierht came in. Possi bly he has grown so wealthy and independent that he does not have to hustle early and late as most of the craft have to do, lest the traditional wolfe,overtake them. Although we were denied the pleasure of grasping our friend and brother by the hand and hearing his merry, cheery voice, we enjoyed the privilege of inspecting the fruits of his labor, the product of his genius, a model printing plant. The writer has heard much of the Bamberg Herald office, but, frankly, we had thought the picture was somewhat overdrawn or a little too highly col-j ored. But, instead of being overstated, the half had not been told. To begin with, Mr. Knight planned and erected a two-story building to meet the needs of a modern welllighted, well-ventilated newspaper and job office. The Herald occupies the entire first floor, the second floor being rented for other pur poses. The front portion of the ground floor is occupied by The Herald book-store, next to this is the editor's office, and the rear portion of the building is used fo* the press and composing room. The room has metal ceiling and wainscoating and the floor is stained. The presses, stands, cases and cabinets are not only kept scrupulously clean but seem to be polished as if ready to un? dergo a jigid military inspection. The writer felt as if he were inspecting printing machinery that was arranged for exhibition purposes at some exposition'instead of being in a practical, every-day, ac-i tually-in-operation newspaper and job office. No wonder our friend Knight issues such a neat and attractive paper, the appearance of ? V; ^1. in avnalla^ rmlv hv ite VfllllP W LUU1X IS CAVV1H/U uui; ?VW and real merits as a newspaper. The people of Bamberg should be very proud of The Herald and give it loyal and very generous support, which no doubt they already do. The writer is indebted to Mr. Bruce, the intelligent and capable foreman of The Herald office, for his cordial reception and kindly attention. Just a word as to Bamberg?and only a word for our opportunity for making observations was limited. The stranger whoienters Bamberg is impressed with the fact that it is a wide-awake progressive town. And judging from the many big, bright, brassy automobiles?occupied by handsomely gowned ladies?that ' are to be seen on the streets late in the afternoon, it is a town of considerable wealth. Then a stroll out from the business street, where are located stately residences surrounded by beautiful lawns and flower J Jil. 41.n gardens, one is lmpresseu wim mc fact that Bamberg is a town of high order and refinement and culture as well as wealth. Let us say in conclusion that there is not another town in South Carolina of Bamberg's size that has a hotel the equal from any standpoint of the Mayflower Inn, which is so admirable kept by Mrs. Brooker.?

New York, May 13.?Joseph Saporana,, an 18-year-old office boy, is dying in a hospital here as the result of a fistic duel with his cousin, Joseph Erarjda. The battle, fought in the basement of a downtown office building, was waged to decide the rivalry of the two boys for the heart and hand of a girl they both loved. Erarda won the fight and the girl with a stinging blow which felled his rival, and Saporana wrung his hand in congratulation. An hour later the latter became unconscious and surgeons found that his skull was fractured. Erarda was locked up.
