HA, t Gettysburg, Pa, July 1:?In the
BSk pitiless glare of a sun that sent the
MB mercury bubbling over the hundred
J mark and made clothes a burden and
HI a bath only a delusion.the armies of
H the North and the South today beMS
gan the formal exercises set to mark
the semi-centennial of Gettysburg.
H Veterans to the number of 15,000,
H the army officers estimated,filed into
M the big tent set apart for the exerV
aw,oat in the blaze of beat for two
| hours and shook the camp with their
.cheers when the speakers made ref
-erence to a reunited nation. i^vcry
? t seat under the canvas was taken
before Secretary of War Garprison
and Goyernor Tener, the ora^V&tan
of the day, came chugging up
; in their automobiles.
Although the men in grey were
far outnumbered by those in blue,
there were possibly a thousand
t\ . Southerners in the amphitheater,
and what they lacked in numbers
t > they made up in lung power.
When Governor Tener finished his
speech Gen Bennett H Young, commander-in-chief
of the Confederate
Veterans, rose slowly and bowed to
him. "I can give you something
\ i that no one eJse can give you," he
said. "We will give you the 'rebel
yell.'"
Nine famous Confederate generals

gave it so loudly that it was heard
far back in the camp toward Gettysburg.
When Gen Young stepped forward
to deliver his address he was
greeted with enthusiasm, the Union
x veterans,led by Commander-in-Chief
Beers,giving him three cheers and a
"tiger".
He took as his keynote the convic^Av^tion
of each side in the great strugRHH
^gle that each fought for a principle
BSffS which each believed was the truth.

which he characterized as the
greatest movement of its kind in the
world.
This compliment to the Northern
veterans was greeted with loud cries
of "no," to which Gen Young quickly
replied: "I know better than you
do." His speech captured the audience
and he was overwhelmed by
handshakes.
ONE WOMAN SHOT TO DEATH.
Another Whipped By a Gang of
Five Brothers.
Bishopville, July 1:?Mrs Maggie
Gainey,white, wife of Wiley Gainey,
was shot and killed in her home on
J Z Grantham's place about 3 miles
east of Stokes Bridge this morning

with buggy whips and is in a j
serious condition. John Z Gran-j
tham, Jr, Nick Grantham, Burgess
Grantham, Coley Grantham and
Vance Grantham, all brothers, have
been lodged in jail charged with the
killing. .
The house in which the Gaineys
lived was shot up considerably and
showed quite a number of shots had
been fired by the Granthams. Maggie
Gainey was shot with a Winchester
rifle and the ball entered' just
below the heart. It is said that the
Gaineys lived on the plantation of
John Z Grantham, Sr, that there had
been some domestic troubles, that
the Grantham boys, had notified the
Gaineys to move off their father's
place, that the uameys naa some
trouble in finding a place to move to
and that tne Granlhams went there
this morning, armed with guns, pistols
and buggy whips with the above
results. All are in jail.

At no time in her history have the
citizens exhibited a more united
front or shown greater determination
to be up and doing for a common
cause than upon this proposition.
At a meeting held in the armory
there Thursday night, under
the auspices of the Chamber of Commerce,
the citizens expressed themselves
strongly for quick and decisive
action on the part of the Chamber
of Commerce in placing Georgetown's
advantages and inducements
before the officers of the S A L.

Georgetown is prepared to go
to extreme lengths in liberality to
bring the Seaboard there.
At the meeting a committee was
appointed to immediately seek a conference
with Mr Bonsai and other I
officials and ascertain exactly what
requirements would be named in order
to bring about this railroad connection
with the port of Georgetown.
It is believed that the Seaboard
would benefit fully as much as (
Georgetown by such a connection, 1
for besides opening up a magnificent <
farming section between Poston and j
Geogetown, developing a vast vol- (
ume of new business, with Georgetown's
fine water facilities a great '
coastwise trade would inevitably fol- '

SUPREME COURT SAYS
VAUGHN MUST Dip.
FORMES SUPERINTENDENT OF
ODD FELLOWS' ORPHANAGE
TO BE RE-SENTENCED.
Columbia, June 30:?In the case
>f T U Vaughn, former superintend?nt
of the State Odd Fellows' Orphanage
at Greenville, who confess
id to unlawful relations with girls
placed under his care and was senenced
to be electrocuted last Decimber
20, the Supreme court to-day
iffirmed the judgment of the cirruit
court and the case was remandid
for the purpose of having another
day for execution set. The opinon
was written by Chief Justice Eujene
B Gary and concurred in by
Associate Justices Hydrick, Watts
md Fraser. The next term of court
>f general sessions of Greenville
lounty will be held in October.
Concerning the exceptions, the
?urt Iheld that the attorneys for
Vaughn failed to show an abuse of
iiscretion on the part of the presid
ng Judge and" that the right to insist I
apon the errors assigned was waived '
when the defendant withdrew the!
plea of not guilty. Concerning the
penalty imposed upon Vaughn, the
?urt says that the same question
las been decided in the case of the
State against Malloy. The court re-1
Fused to sustain this exception to the
sentence providing electrocution.
With reference to the alleged confession
of Vaughn, the court says:
"Conceding that the defendant
would have been entitled to all the
rights claimed in these exceptions,if
he had insisted upon them in the
manner provided by the rules of
practice, nevertheless, it clearly appears
that he waived such rights in
expectation that the jury would recammend
him to the mercy of the
court, thereby enabling him to escape
the. death penalty.
"At the time he withdrew his plea
if not guilty he had no reasonable
grounds for supposing that the jury
vould render any other verdict than

that of 'guilty,'and the method that "^
he adopted, it seems, might have :j
naturally been expected to increase >
his chances of apj:>ealing to the sym- ?
pathy of the jury, and, thereby, in- 3
deed, induce them to recommend him

to the mercy of the court.

siding Judge and the jury unquestionably
understood fully the nature,
force and effect of the idea
made by the defendant.
"He was represented by an exceedingly
able counsel; the plea was
not interposed until two days after .,1
the commencement of the trial, the
presiding Judge cleariy stated the1
nature, force and effect of the plea,
to which neither the defendant nor
his counsel made any objection. The
testimony which had been introduced
indicated that there were no reason"
able grounds for hoping that the
jury would render any other verdict
than that of guilty."

Meets with Tragic Death at Isle
of Palms.
The many friends of Mr H Marvin
Allison in Kingstree were deeply
grieved Saturday morning to learn
of his untimely death.which occurred
in the surf at the Isle of Palms Friday
afternoon. Mr Allison was a
traveling representative of the John- 4 son-Lund
Co of Atlanta, dealers in
dental supplies. He was well known
in Kingstree and Wednesday spent
the night here before going to the
Isle of Palms. He was a musician
and many have heard and enjoyed
j his sweet singing at the hotel when
I on his visits to Kingstree.
His death is believed to have been
: due to heart failure, as he was in
; shallow water and his head was never
seen to disappear below the surface,
but several times he cried out
fer help. When taken to the beach
'ij
very little water was found in his
lungs, but he never regained con
| sciuusness.
