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.

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.

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.?

FIGHT FOR LOVE OF GIRL. 1
One Combatant in Fistic Encounter
Dying of Injuries.
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.
