pardon's Asked and Refused.

Gov. Hayward last week pardoned
three convicts whose terms had ex-
pired or are about to expire and re-
fused pardon to seven others. Some
of the cases have already attracted
attention.
VIM. S. Shipes, of Edgefeld, after
having served two years Of a SEN
tence of three years for housebreak-
ing and larceny, was given pardon.
He was sentenced in March, 1903, the
jury having been out two days and
two nights. All OF the jurors asked
for the pardon and the judge and sol
:citor recommended it. There is said
TO have been grave doubt as to the
prisoners guilt.
Claude Dorm, also of Edgefeld coun-
ty, was convicted of having falsely
packed cotton. He had nearly finish
ed his term of servitude and his citi-
zenship was restored on petition OF
number of people.
Tom Lambert. OF Beaufort, received
a Communication of sentence from SIS
to $50 on the charge of riot.
/. The most notable case, on account
OF the prominence of the relatives Of
the convict, was that of Sam Stages.
Of Spartanburg county Stages was
convicted CT having killed John Chap.
man three years ago. 1t is now Al
legged that he was convicted OH per-
jured testimony. Solicitor Sease and
Judge Ernest Gary declined to recon-
mend Stages pardon. The witness
alleged to be guilty Of perjury has
ret been arrested and convicted OF
that crime. Those presenting the pc.
tition in favor Of Stages make affidavit
that Eugene Norman, who was one Of
the States chief witnesses, stated
that he swore falsely at the trial, and
1t was upon Norman's evidence that
conviction was secured.
Bill McClintock, of Laurens, is under
ten Years sentence on the charge
Of manslaughter. No good reason was
given for interfering with the SEN
tence. Bill killed Lee Phillips on the
30th Of August, 1903. The deceased
had come to McClintock's house as a
boarder and had run off with McCln-
tock's wife. Like George Haynes,
McClintock waited a day or two before
going after his wife, and this operated
against him at the trial
John Wax was convicted in New.
terry county of burglary and larceny
and sentenced to serve fifteen months
on the chaingang. He has served al
Of this time with the exception of two
months, but Governor Hayward saw
no reason why this should be taken
from his sentence
A refusal was recorded in the appli
cation of John Johnson. who was sen
fenced to pay fine Of s10O or serve
so days on the chaingang for assault
and battery in Greenwood county.
A refusal was given in the applica
ton in behalf of Austin White OF
Greenvllle, who is under sentence foy
rlanslaughter.
The case or Glenn Koagers is one OF
particular interest. He was convict
cd in Union county On the charge OF
rape. The papers asking for the par.
don are numerous. Solicitor Sease
asks that the pardon be granted. The
mother Of the girl in the case seeks a
pardon, and Judge Gage states he does
not remember the case, and does not
express any opinion. Ten OF ihe jurors
ask for the pardon but Governor Hey.
ward was not Of the opinion that he
should interfere in such case
where a conviction has been had.

War Says Fair Terms Would be to
Japan's Advantage by Giving Her
Good Neighbor-Linevitch Can
Be Given an Army of 100000 Men
Without New Mobilization.
st. Petersburg, By Cable.-While
Emperor Nicholas, whose word is fin
al, still declines to abandon the prose
cution of the war, and the government
maintains it's ability to continue the
conflict, it can be authoritatively
stated that powerful influences, in
Guiding several of the Emperor's own
ministers, are now strongly urging
that the time has come to indicate
to Japan Russia's desire ior peace up
on a reasonable basis. Should Japan
then attempt to impose too onerous
conditions, these influences argue that
in view of the universal wish to see
the bloody conflict ended, Russia's
position will he strengthened abroad
by the alienation of sympathy from
Japan, and the situation improved at
home when the nation is made to I'M
derstand that the Emperors pacific
proposals have been met with i'm
possible terms. The Minister of War
says:
Russia has a hard task, fighting
the war against such adversaries,
5000 miles from home, and contend
that she can make dignified peace,
without glory, but not without honor
AS the victor on land and sea. Japan
can afford to remember. as Bismarck
did at the conclusion of the Austro-
Prussian war, that two countries
which must live through the long fu-
ture as neighbors may need each
others friendship. Japan may con-
slider the time propitious, on account
Of the situation in European Russia
to try and crush us. Suppose, for the
sake of argument, she succeeded in
finally forcing a humiliating peace, it
would not be more than an armed
truce. Russia is too big and power
full to retire permanently from the
field: The clouds at home eventually
will roll away. With the army and
navy reorganized, in five, ten or fifteen
years, there will come inevitably our
revenge. No permanent peace is pos
sib1e now or later unless Japan is
established.
i3 To the suggestion Of the possibility
of an alliance between Russia and
Japan, the Minister said:
"a reasonable peace must first be
established.
Broadly speaking, Russia's renun-
citation of her entire Manchurian poll
cy should satisfy Japan's claim. She
could have her protectorate over Ko-
rea, such privileges on the Kowontong
Peninsula and at Port Arthur as the
powers would not oppose, and the Chi
nese Eastern Railway be placed under
international control, Russia maintain
ing her rights to railway line
through northern Manchuria to Vladi-

Toxic, BY Cable.-Beyond the general

of the details OF the past three days
events in Manchuria. Various reports of
the number of additional Russian pris-

estimate is 10000. 1t is impossible to
confirm the reports.
There is much speculation over the
extent of the Russian retirement Har-
bin is regarded as logical base, but it
is suggested that they may attempt to
hold that Kirin line. The country be-
tween Kiayaun and Sungari is inhospi
table.
Formerly the conservative clement in
