All Innocent Negro served a
Sentence.
Town Marshal of Barnwcll Con-
fessed the Deed. Aud Now
the Convict Goes Free.

Gov. Hayward yesterday par
doned Anderson Nix, colored,
given life sentence in November
1897, for the murder on the pub
lie square in Barnwell of Jennings
Green, white man. The pardon
was the result of IA deathbcu cons
fession of the killing by Town
Marshal Owens, and it is likely
that but for this Justice would
never have come to the negro, al
though severa! responsible white
men saw Owens fire the fatal
shot.
The account of the killing is
given in X-Solicitor G. Duncan
Bellinger's endorsement of Nix's
petition for pardon:
''Ihls is a peculiar case of pun~
lshment of man for crime he
did not commit because the real
murderer was white man who
kept secret his offence until on his
deathbed, when other white men
of position and undoubtcd vcracity
came forward and corroborated
the statement of the guilty man
now dead.

defendant, Anderson Nix, negro
who was certainly engaged at the
time in reckless firing on the
streets. Now, however, knowing
well the character of the men

and hearing talk by others who
SAW Owens, the town marshal, fire
the fatal shot, | am convinced be-
yond the shadow of doubt that
NIX was not responsible for

Seeking Trouble.

Every honest man who runs
for Office is a candidate for trou-
BILE, for the fruits of political vic
tory turn to ashes on his lips. To
me there Is nothing in this world
so pathetic as a candidate. He is
like a mariner without compass,
drifting on the tempest tossed
waves of uncertainty between the
smiling cliffs of hope and the
fro vning crags of fear. He is a
pack horse Of public sentiment.
He Is the dromedary of politics;
and even if he reaches the goal of
his ambition, he will soon feel the
beak of the vulture in his heart
and the fang of the serpent in his
soul. Bob Taylor.

Bishopville, March 22.-Last
Saturday night white man by
the name of Kelly went up to
Lucknow on the passenger train,
having entered the passenger
coach at Bishopville under the in
tiasnce of liquor. He managed to
secure a place to board after
reaching Lucknow that night and
was thought by some of the peo-
pie to have retired for his nights s
rest. About II O'Clock Mr.. Hyatt
was passing the store of Hyatt &
Son, of which firm he was a mem-
ber, and heard some one strike a
match in the store which had been

riedly procured assistance and re-
turned to the store to capture the
burglar. Upon entering the store
they found the young man Kelly,
apparently half undressed and un-
conscious of what he was doing,
helping himself to what he could
get his hands on. The parties
arrested Kelly and brought him
to Bishopville Sunday morning
and put him in jail where he now
is. 1t has been stated that the

I'm sorry you missed the outdoor
map of the United States in July. 1t
was prettier then, but the lesson is
just as vivid today, so don't overlook
its teachings even if you come late.
The purpose of the map is TO enable
each sIghtseer TO visit his particular
state and its neighbOrs and note the
propOrtionate paintings Of the great
staple crops. Then he is invited to
look at the surrounding gardens, show
ing plants that he has heard about. but
has never seen. Each state is labeled
so that one may get at n glance the
salient facts. For example, we read
that Idaho has 54,OOO.OOO acres, but
not quite Il million and n half are IN
der cultivation. Wheat is her princi-
pal crop and alfalfa next. the other
grasses and grains following. Idaho
is developing her rich lands by means
of irrigation from the great Snake riv-
er and its tributaries, so that these fig
ures are fast changing. The entire
map is made to scale, gravel walks
forming the boundaries. Upon these
paths we may journey over the coun-
try from ocean to ocean and from Can
ada to Mexico leisurely in a few min
utes. We may observe the great cot
ton belt. the corn belt and the wheat
belt in a general way, and then in each
state learn the other crops for which
IT is noted.

Thirty school children of st. Louis
have thirty gardens In the northeastern
part of the map garden. They are out
side the states. about where Labrador
should be. Five of these children come
each day to tend their gardens and to
give a demonstration for the benefit
of sChoolteaChers upon the manage
ment of school gardens. These demon
strations are conducted by Professor
Charles F. Wheeler of the United
States bureau OF plant industry, for it
was under this bureau that the map
garden and all its adjuncts were
brought into existence. Obstinate soil
and excessive and violent rains have
kept all hands busy. but the triumph
IS worth the effort. The garden is on
