Pleading- the "Unwritten Law," M. j

^ xient Lexington county planter, was j j
' found guilty by a Lexington county j t
jury in the court of general sessions;

e?: coat, on the night of February 1 lar,t. I x
The defendant claimed that Jefcoat J
* had been intimate with his the defend j ^
ant's wife; and that the two had plan- Y
W.: ned a meeting on the night of the fatal s
"* tragedy. Kirkland asserted th&t Jefcoat
was in waiting behind a hay stack f
on the premises of the defendant at! ^
the time the fatal shots were fired. He j t
also claimed that he had been sus- : s
picious of the relations existing be- I
tween his wife and the deceased for | c
many months prior to the shooting, | *
hut that he did not act on these, but ?
waited until he was satisfied in his o
own mind that Jefcoat had stolen the
affectons of his wife. j
The trial was featured by strong t j
and eloquent arguments by Col. G. T. , ?
Oraham and Judge C. M. Efird, for"
the defense, both of whom pleaded j ^
the "unwritten law," stressing the j
fact that the deceased had but "reap- |
ed what he had sown," and what he i
I<3eser\ ed. Solicitor Timmerman, for j
:> the State, made a brilliant argument j
I-; for conviction, his speech being char- i
aterized by those who heard as one of j1
the best the brilliant prosecuting attor i
ney of this circuit had ever delivered I ^
j on any occasion in the Lexington court 1
room. Judge Jas. H. Peurifoy, of c
i Walterboro, delivered a strong and (
f* dear charge to the jury, covering the =
law applicable to the case. The jury ~
| . remained out about two hours.
At the conclusion 01 tne JtvirKiana j
j|| case the court immediately adjourned :
for the term, after having- been in scs- ! s
gv- sion since Wednesday. Only three J *
iSh ' cases were disposed of. but a special v
term of general sessions court will be ! r
held n November; at which time Judge t
. Peurifoy and Solicitor Timmerman e
ST;hope to be able to clear the already |
k. , congested docket. *
This was the first appearance of c
\ Judge Peurifoy in Lexington, but he
v". soon won the admiration of members *
1 -of the bar as well as all with whom
jg?, . he came in contact and he will find
4 a cordial welcome awaiting him upon
I^y his return here in November to pre- 1 3

tioned would do well to apply as soon i

count towards the winning of the war.
The movement to replace men with
women in nonessential work is rapidly
gaining impetus and it is the wise
man who begins at once to look about
It is not intended nor desired by the
labor board that haen quit today their
present positions if they are working
in a nonessential, as it is realized that
a sudden c-Qssation of work would
cause confusion and congestion. The
movement is to be gradual, but it is
to be pushed forward steadily and it
is hoped that no great stagnation noi
confusion will result.

for the Fourth "Liberty Loan. This is j'
no time, hoy/ever, for a let up and j'

fully carried through.
Over confidence means failure and j 1

be given a chance to buy a bond of ,
the Fourth Liberty Loan and to do .
this necessarily means patient and
tireless work. The boys and our Allies
are at their job all the time. .
There is no rest time fotr them and
we must stand behind them.
Because the allies are winning, gives

LABOR BOARDS MEET
TO (X AS SI FY WORK
]
For the purpose of classifying as
far as possible occupations considered '
nonessential and reviewing generally
the labor situation in their counties,
the community labor boards of Richland
and Lexington Counties held a
joint meeting yesterday afternoon.
A list of occupations considered non
essential will be prepared and publshed
in a few days, and steps will be
taken to introduce women into work
suitable for them.
These two boards, together with
other community labor boards over
trie state, arc preparing to cooperate 1
fully with the -war industries board in i
its determination to see to it that male i
citizens go into occupations considered
essential to the winning- of the war or
else fight. Lexington and Richland j
have many interests in common; some I
citizens residing in Lexington work in !
Columbia, and the interests of the two j
counties are interwoven in many ways j
The community labor boards of the j
two counties will work together in J
many instances for these reasons. !;
It is realized that if men quit their I
occupations too quickly thtjy may be
without employment for a time, and |
that if women are introduced into new |
occupations too suddenly they may!
undertake work for which they are i
not fit or labor under conditions not'
suitable for women. Community la- i
bor beards, according to advices re- ;
ceivcd from X. A. Smyth of the L'nited !
States employment service, are to su- j
pervisc and steady these movements j
of labor into war industries and women
into non-war industries.
When labor boards have determined |
upon a list of industries in which wo- }'
men shall be employed, the list is to ,
be submitted for approval to the fed- j
oral director and advisory board of the
State, then, the lists as approved are i
to !>e published. ;
Path to Berlin. b
"Tf we can have shells enough in
France next year, we can blast a path
to Berlin. To liie extent thai we fall j
behind in the supply of material we '
shall have to make up the deficit1
from the living bodies*of our young;'
men. This is not rhetoric, it is cold
precise military calculation. As looft
ar> the facts are realized Americans
are going to cease carrying on bust- j
ness ? o.-.ua! and swarm into war i
work, making possible that'Which now j
seem:- impes.-.ibU" rays .Mr. Smyth in!
a communication received by Federal!
Director Tilghman.
Continuing the 'communication ;
reads: "As you know, our whole war !'
program has been moved ahead. Ade !1
quate measures arc being taken to :
place an enormous army in France!'
early next year. This means that the ;
industrial program, required to supply ,;
and equip it must be hurried at a pace
which today seems well ngh impossi-j1
blc. The war department has project.
ed an enormous program, apparent- I
ly reckless of the fact that there is not!!
enough labor available to carry it;
through, in reality relying upon the)
will of the A?merican people to drop j
everything else and put it through.'
The '.'putting-it through depends' in j
large measure on the community labor
ooaras tnrougnout mt >uue ana na- j
tion.
Elected Two Women.
Acting on instructions from the gov 1
eminent, the Richland County commu
nity labor board elected two women j1
as members of the board. They are '
Mrs. W. A. Turner and Dr. Jane B.!'
Guignard. The presence of these wo- '
men on the board will enable the mem
hers to determine quickly what industries
are suitable'for women and what
the conditions should he which sur- i
round such industries.
The Richland County community
'ahor board is now composed of the <
following members: T. 1. Weston :
chairman: Charles S. Henry, secretary i
Irving Soutluvorth. Mrs. W. A. Turner |i
and I)r. Jane B. Guignard. Members <

nation regrtored on Thursday into
trailing and incre:u>c the flow of men
overseas to support General Pershing
md his armies in their big drive is the
effort oi' the provost rnashal general's
olfice.
As a result. Colonel Warren, executve
ofheer of the Othce in the absence
of General Powder, announced today
that it might he possible to hold the
drawing for the order numbers of the
new registration as early as September
24. General Crowde has previous
[y announced the tentative date as Oc
tober 2.
Figures on the registration are com
ing in slowly and are not showing the
big increase indicated in the earlier
imates. The only final report reeved
so far is for the District of Columbia.
It was the big incease in
this figure which led the provost marshall
general yesterday to estimate a
registration 8:5 per cent in excess of
the preliminary estimates.
"The registration is more likely to
be about what our preliminary estimates
showed," sad Colonel Warren
today. "State estimates are changing
constantly and we will announce no
figures until the state reports are in.
I expect now to be able to give definite
figures on Monday."
Local Boards Assigning Members.
The preliminary estimates were
for about 12,800;000 men. These were
raised yesterday to 14.000,000 on the
basis of estimated figures from ten
states and the District of Columbia.
"Washington is now just like a rnin-*
" ?:
HIS L'ctmp, SiJIU V^UIUIICI vtulicu,
"There are thousands of temporary
residents here and these were invited
to register here."
Local boads are rushing the work
of assigning serial numbers to Thursday's
registrants. Notice of the serial
number will be enclosed to registra"
ticn of the 19-20 year and 32-3G year
class with the questionaires which
now are being mailed out. Eighteenyear-old
boys and men 37 to 45 will
r.ot receive questionairres at once but
are charged with discovering their serial
numbers, which will be posted at
registration booths by the local boards
Serial nuuilifcts?will be assigned all
registrants and all will be,included in
the big drawing for the order numbers.
The ocal boards will then withdraw
the order numbes of the men
from 37 to 4 5, inclusive, and boys of
IS into a sepaate group and the district
boards will classify the men 19
20 and 32-36 by classes on dependen
cy or occupation.
The men to be First Taken.
Then when calls are made on the
local boards for men the men in class
one in the order of their order numbers
w:th!n the age group cf 19-20 and
32-30 inclusive, first will be taken.
After they are exhausted, if they shall
I>e class one men cl* Z~ to 45 years,
inclusive, ami 18 years will be called
in the order of their order numbers.
The 18-ycar-o!d registrants by such
time, in most instance would be past
19 years.
"It at some indefinite future time
it should be necessary to go into the
deferred classifications, class two of
the earlier registrants vll be exhausted
before class two of the registration
is invaded." said Colonel Warren today.
"The ranic will be true of the
more deferred classifications.
The district boards will be continuous!}'
reclassifying men of the deferred
classifications as their status
changes in respect to dependencies or
occupations. Empoyers .\vho secure
deferred classification for registrants
on the grounds of occupational nec-es
sity is ended. Employers who secure
deferred classification for registrants
on the grounds of occupational necessity
are expected to notify the districts
boards when he occupational necessity
is ended. Employers "expect this
to have a stabilizing effect on labor.
"I imagine our men who are given
occupational deferrencies will be more
likely to stick to us if they know they
will lose such deferred classifications
when they leave, said Chairman Hurley
of the shipping board.
