for wedding party? Two hundred

have been idle for four days, and in
other parts Of the county not a wheel
has turned for a week.

No Pardon for Mrs. New.-Govern-
or Hoch announced that he would not
pardon Mrs. Amelia New, who is serv-
ing a prison sentence for killing her
husband in Greenwood county. The
governor said: Nothing will be done
in this matter of the New pardon, at

ing in the country adjacent where the
crime was committed are also oppos-
ed to favor it, In the town perhaps
a great many favor the pardon. Per-
sonally do not think 10 would do
any harm to turn this old
woman loose, but do not feel justi-
fed in taking action contrary to ex-
listing sentiment"
