were pardoned and one had sentence
commutcd. Daniel Masoro. who was

1904, to term of from one to one and
a half years for receiving stolen goods,
was pardoned. He was convicted OF
stealing four sacks Of -four from the
Burlington railroad, having been az
rested by Denver officers. Subsequent
Investigation by the railroad has re-
vealed that there was no record Of
such loss on the books Of the company.

release 0f Masoro, which was granted.
The other man pardoned was A. M.
Wheeler. who was sentenced from Dem

Care Should be Exercised.

The birthday OF General Lee, Jan
nary 10, is one of the days for the be
stowal OF crosses of honor upon Con
federates by the Daughters OF the Con,
federacy. This custom is not only one
OF the most beautiful for its sentimen.
tai motives but it is one OF deep inn
port and the results will be Of lasting
value. AS time goes IN, the bronze
crosses will become of moro and
more value. A century hence the great
grandchildren of a Confederate vete-
ran, holding n of these crosses, will
have in it the very highest evidence OF
the progenitor's valor, patriotism and
self-sacri6ce. The bronze cross, com

vincing denial OF any charges OF trea-
son or rebellion that may be aimed by
those who are prone to think that G
cess is the sole test Of merit against
those whom vastly superior force ex-
NSoN ~ alo wi OOhQV0Ts
The real Significance of these
crosses is scarcely yet realized. We
have heard that in SOM counties they
have been bestowed without strict re-
gard and care. The laws governing
the bestowal and guarding the proof of
service and honorable discharge of the
veterans which the Daughters have
adopted, r doubtless ell that are
needed. In Laurens County the Daugh-
ters have, we believe, shown q proper
care and the veterans camps have as
sisted them In preventing the bes.owal
upon any who are not entitled. We
have heard, however, that in another
county a cross was bestowed upon q
Confederate deserter,-indicating that
some n was ~inexcusably negligent
which the crosses was given. The Incl
dent In Chester when Governor Hey
ward was offered a cross by enthusiast
tic veterans Is another illustration.
The governor is no more entitled to it
than any other son of a veteran. With
his usual good sense, he declined it,
promptly seeing that he had no right
to it. Had the governor been selfshly
vain or foolish, a serious mistake
would have found place ON the Confed-
crate records.
We do not think that this warning Is
necessary in Laurens but we hope, and
we happen to know that veterans share
the hope. that the utmost care will be
used in tie n,s,owal everywhere. Some
soldiers were Drawer than others and
some more than others did their duty
but all who were enlisted and honora-
bly, discharged are entitled. 1t is only
possible to draw the line there but at
that point it should be drawn with RI
gor.

played craps with negroes and was
killed by a negro. Other white men
lynched the negro. Then they tried to

Other white men are holding indigna-

crimes like murder, outrage the law by
mobbing a man, they are of course liza

weeks may be depended upon to

two miles from the booming camp
of Goldfeld. Already number OF
rich strikes haye been made in the
vicinity and even now a small rush
is on. Houses are going up in
every direction, the only drawback
being the difficulty in obtaining
lumber. It will be about August
1st before the town will be OF an
established basis. In the meantime
machinery ordered by number Of
mine or paospect owners has beer
shipped. It's arrival will be the
signal for a boom. Appeal.
