THE WHIPPERS OF WERTZ.
Pafd0n Asked For Henry Williamson and
the Negro Snow, of Greenwood
County.

The State, 18th.
1t is seldom that so large a del
egation visits Gov. Hayward to ap-
ply for pardon as the one which
arrived Yesterday from Greenwood,
and held a conference with his
excellency. The object of the party
was to ask the pardon of Henry
Williamson, white, and Charles
Snow, colored, convicted in 1902 of
assault and battery with intent to
kill, which consisted in hrutallv
whipping white man named Will
liam Wer,z,
The cline, for SO it was decided
by the jury, occurred III the carly
part of March, 1902. Williamson
went, with the negro Snow, to the
home Of WertZ and while the re
gro held the victim, Williamson
lashed him. At the time, the oc.
currence set Greenwood county in
all uproar, there being parties Oh
Doth sides. Efforts were made to
have the case ,quashed, but it was
put into the courts and the white
man and his negro comrade given
| five years each in the State prison
at hard Labor.
The petition submitted yesterday
was endorsed by every member OF
the jury which convicted the two
men and Solicitor Sease who pros
ected them. In his endorsement thl
solicitor says:
'Whilc the whipping administered
to the prosecutor was sew re, Mr
Williamson acted on strong provo
cation aud we think that lie ha:
been sufficiently punished.
Gov. Hayward, it was learned
was asked to grant the pardon or
on Dec. %, no doubt SO that VIII
hanson might 60 to his home tc
spend Christmas, but his eXcellenc,
declined to act SO precipitately ant
will consult Judge Cary, who pre-
sided at the trial, before taking fna
action
In the party who came to urge
that the pardon be granted were
r. M. Hays, S. F. Evans, D. H

SALUDA NOT LAWLESS.
Not More SO Than Other Counties Says
Special Judge Robert II. Welch.
EulOgy Oh the County.

In closing his remarks to the
grand jury at the sessions court for
Saluda county last week, after the
jury had read its presentment,
Special Judge Robert II. Welch
said:
"Now, gentlemen, before ! close
my remarks you will indulge me
while | refer to Il rumor, in fact,
current belief, that your county is
pervaded with Il spirit Of lawless-
ness. know it to be fact that
people beyond the borders of your
county have formed the conclusion,
based upon what they have heard
and what they have seen in the
newspapers, that your county at
this time is seriously troubled by
an unusually large amount Of crime.
will he frank ard state to you
that when / came TO your county
to hold this court ! was among
those who had formed this con-
clusion. When | opened court
here Monday morning | was sur
prised TO find only four cases upon
the docket and Of these four, only
one was for murder, while the
other three were for minor Of
fences.
The Solicitor has handed to you
by this time all the bills that he
has, and Of these bills, three we're
for murder; and of the three, one
WAS against an unfortunate negro
who was SO weak in mind that the
State will agree to accept q plea of
manslaughtcr, when the facts, were
he OF strong mind, would un-
qucstionably warrant Il conviction
for murder; while one of the two
remaining indictments for murder
is against white man and his
daughter. The other few indict-
ments are for the petty crimes that
usually are wrought in the most
peaceful and best regulated coun-
ties
From these facts, gentlemen,
am glad to state to you, as the pre-
siding judge Of this court, that L
see nothing-absolutely nothing
TO warrant the current belief that
your county is lawless county;
while on the contrary, everything
that | have seen convinces me that
the peace and good order Of your
county stand as high as any other
county in this State.
Monday was salesday in Decem-
ber-a time when large crowd
always gathers at the county seat,
and we had very large Gro wd
here. Still did not observe the
slightest disorder during the entire
day. During the reccsses Of court
mingled freely with the crowd.
and did not observe anything of an
unseemly nature, but, on the con-
trary, well-disposed and behaved
crowd. | did not see one man at
all bolstrous or under the influence
Of liquor. and | have not heard of
a single arrest being made.
1t gives me great pleasure, gen
ticmcn, as court, to state these
facts to you, and my only regret is
that, if they can be Of any service
IN correcting The false and unjust
impressions that exist against your
county, they may not have as wide
circulation as the rumors that have
created this impression.

Prospectors should take steps 70

ter II the most important rocks,
such as limestone, quartzite, slate
etc. and Of minerals which occur
most frequently, ike quartz, calcite,
clay, tale, etc. A knowledge Of crys'
photography is not essential to the
prospector, though it is well TO know
that certain minerals crystalline in
particular form-as, for instance,
quartz occurs when crystallized in
six sided prisms; galena, huorspar,
pyrite often occur in cubic form; cal
cite in rhombs, etc. or course, a
thorough course in mineralogy is to
be recommended; but mere smat-
tering of it is not of great assistance
TO the searcher after gold, copper,
lead and zinc. When starting out in
the business Of prospecting, the miner
should learn all he can about the
mineral or minerals be intends to look
for, their occurrence and physical
appearance particularly on the sur
face, as it is there he will probably
make his discoveries, and not under

very different appearance in the

Nothing i'm 1t, Probably.

John Ryan, superintendent of the
works of the Pacific Coast Borax
company, in Death Valley, Cal, is
reported to have been assassinated
by Indians nine miles from the com
pany's camp at Borate, in Inyo coun-
ty, Cal. The only reason assumed
for the murder is the fact that the
Indians of that vicinity guard the
limited water supply of the region
jealousy, and as Mr.. Ryan was in
search of water with the company's
tank wagon, accompanied by team
ster, who was also killed, the Indians
probably shot them. So runs an I'M
confirmed newspaper report. There
is no camp called " Borate" there,
and if a murder did occur it is very
improbable that the Indians had any
thing to do with it.

Com mitted to the Insane Asylum

Mrs. Augusta J. Johnson, wife Of j.
A. johnson, who lives on farm in
Mamre, was examined in the Office OF
Judge Of Probate last Thursday as
to her sanity and found to be insane
Accompanied by Sheriff Lundquist
and Mrs. Strandberg she was taken
to the asylum for the insane at Fergus
Falls the same evening.
Mrs. Johnson has not been we'll for
several years, having been subject to
several spells of insanity, but as she
never became violent during the spells
and the attacks were few, it was not
thought that anything serious would
result. She grew worse however and
it was finally decided to have her
undergo the proper examination.
The subject that was the cause of
Mrs. Johns on's mental arrangement
was religion. She seemed perfectly
sound on other subjects, but as soon
as religion was mentioned she per-
sisted in talking all the time. This
is very sad case especially as the
patient has three children who all
naturally felt very badly when it was
announced that their mother had to
be taken away. It is thought how
ever, that her case is q comparatively
mild one, aud it is possible, that by
proper care she may recover the con-
troll of her diseased mind.
