is the custom each year. Heretofore,
the exemption allowed the Edwards
Manufacturing Co. by the city has also
been granted by the school districts,
although no vote has ever been taken
to this effect by either district. This
year, however, taxes will be assessed
on the full valuation of the property,
located in the respective districts. 1t
is understood that in the Village dis

the company owns more property on
the West side of the river than it does
on the East side.

A Pardon Issued.

Supervisor E. G. Bruce went up to
Columbia last week to attend the good
roads convention, and while there he
called on Governor Hayward in reference
to petition which had been forwarded
asking for the pardon of Panther Dortch,
a convict on the Bamberg county chain
gang. Dortch is a negro, and has been
serving a sentence of two years for house
breaking and larceny. He had only a
short time more to serve, and the pardon
was granted in order that he might testify
in the Midway riot case, in which
Andrew BENEFITS barn was burned and
a lot of shooting done. Dortch has been
a "trusty" on the gang for some time, and
was in charge of the blood hounds when
they trailed to Grants house the night of
the burning.

Davis Talks of His Past.

Last Monday afternoon representa-
tive of this newspaper went over to the
iail to talk with Joe Davis, the white man
who murdered Policeman j. B. King.
We found him sitting in his cell quietly
reading part of a newspaper. He is a
medium size man, and looks to be over
fifty years old, although he gave his age
as AZ. He talked freely about his past
life, etc.
He said he came from the Springfield
section of Orangeburg county, IN the
country where they run so many dis
tilleries in the swamps and make what
they call 'tussick" whiskey. This is one
of the most lawless sections in the State,
and several killings have occurred there
in the last few years. Davis said he had
served a sentence for selling whiskey.
He was in Orangeburg jail in 1892. A
rumor had gotten out here that he had
killed man before, bnt he says this is a
mistake. He was shot by his sOn-in- law,
a man named Tindal The difficulty oc-
curred at his son-in-law'S house, and
Davis was shot in the right breast with a
pistol, the wound almost ending his life.
He saws this occurred about two years
AGO when he was living in Orangeburg
county. He gave US full particulars of
the difficulty, and he puts q favorable
light on it for himself. He did not at
tempt in any way to hurt Tindal, and
was shot while attempting to leave the
house. He did rot prosecute Tindal on
account of his daughter and her children.
We did not question him much about
the killing of King. He said he had
| nothing to say, and while he expressed
himself as being sorry it occurred, his
talk and manner did not indicate regret,
He said he could not get at it somehow;
that he could not get right in bis mind as
to why it happened. Here he talked dis,
connected and somewhat rambling, and
spoke something about it not happening
if it had been Somebody he knew well
Said he had nothing against King
personally. In speaking of the condition
! of his mind he alluded to losing his house
in Bamberg Ds- FIRE about two months
ago, and his other property, from debt
(All his land is to be sold under execution
the first Monday in March, and the papers
we're served on him only a few days be.
fore the killing) He said he was afraid
he wouldnot get right in his mind now
as long as he lived.
