The sound sense manifested by Govern
or Bell of Vermont in dealing with the
woman convicted of murder in that State
is worthy of attention. He has granted a
reprieve, which stays until June the ex-
ecution which was set for Friday, but in
doing so he administers a deserved rebuke
to the sentimentalists and sensationalists
who have been making themselves con-
spicuous in this case. The attorneys for
the woman claimed that they had new
evidence and that they could, with proper
opportunity, show that testimony influen-
tial toward her conviction was false. The
Governor does not attempt to decide the
truth of these statements, but he feels
that the defendant should have the chance
to present them in court and secure new
trial if she can. The courts decision
must be final, for the Governor announces
that he will not interfere with the course
of the law which he thus gives the woman
the opportunity to invoke. In his memo
randum the Governor pointedly remarks:
No consideration is given in granting
this reprieve to the complaints made by
outsiders that the laws of Vermont are
cruel and barbarous;" and again, 81 shall
not by any act of mine attempt to thwart
the expressed will of the people or under
take to change the policy of our law in
regard to capital punishment"
Putting aside the question of evidence
involved in the promised appeal for q
new trial. and assuming the facts to be az
found, there is absolutely no ground for
the appeal to clemencY except the sex of
the prisoner, and that Governor Bell rightly
refuses to regard. Every time woman
is convicted of murder the sentimentalists
swarm. and frequently they do not wait
for conviction, but begin to denounce
public prosecutors and demand release
on murder charge. Now, there is fair
field for argument concerning the wisdom
of capital punishment; but capital punish
ment is the law of New York and YER
mont and most of the States. So long as
it is the law it should be impartially en-.
forced. The sentimentalists who leave IL
on the statute book and then demand
clemency for the woman murderer on the
mere ground of sex really demand license
for women to murder. 1t is notoriouslv
more difficult to convict woman than a
man of crime, owing to the natural
chivalry of men. To 60 further and re-
fuse to execute the sentences against
justly convicted women out of protested
sense of chivalry is absured. Governor
Bell deserves credit for sustaining the
equal administration of the criminal laws
of his State and not surrendering to out
bursts of gush.-Nsso York Tribune

STATE COMMISSIONER OF ROADS HUToH-
! INsoN has given notice that he will not be
willing to approve new roads for any
county which does not keep in proper re-
pair the highways already built. This is
good plan. Too many localities have
but the single idea of getting new roads
and the matter Of repair is a secondary
affair. In these days of automobiles the
roads are severely tried and this has been
SO noticeable that Assemblyman Gibbs has
introduced bill to keep the speed of
these machines to low rate. Supervisor
Buzby says that the zigzag movement of
automobiles, together with the high rate
at which they travel, do our roads more
harm than large number of heavy
wagons. travelling at ordinary speed,
would cause. The passage of Mr.. Gibbs
bill, together with the decision of Com
missioner Hutchinson, ought to go a long
way towards keeping our expensive high
ways in good shape.
MANY testimonials have been paid to
the memory OF Henry l. Budd, the de-
ceased State Road Commissioner, but
none greater or to be more highly priced
than the appointment of his daughter to
be secretary of the State Horticultural
Society. During his lifetime Mr.. Budd
gave much attention to this work and was
Invaluable in the services he rendered
The appointment of Miss Budd is a Just
recognition of the high esteem felt for
her father in his efforts for the benefit of
the Society. 1t is also a compliment to
the young lady who is the first female to
be honored with position of this kind,
and the Society is to be congratulated on
the fact that Miss Budd is thoroughly
qualified for the Office not only from the
point of ability but from the fact that she
had aided the former secretary to such an
extent as to be perfectly acquainted with
the details of the work.

Bucket Shops and Exchanges.

BEFORE the Supreme Court at Wash
ingto the other day Judge Crumpack.
er boldly asserted that the Board of
Trade OF Chicago was nothing better
than an institution established for the
promotion Of gambling. He was de-
Tending the bucket shops In a case
that is now pending against them,
and he did so by declaring that there
was no essential difference between
them and the large institution OF the
country In which commodities and
securities are dealt in on margin. He
ridiculed the contention that an ac.
tual delivery OF grain is contemplated
when there Is a purchase or sale OF
wheat or corn in the pits at Chicago.
He admitted that some actual sales
take place, but he declared that the
boards of trade Of the country could
not be maintained except for the tran.
sactions Of q purely speculative nature
that took place In them. He did not
deny that bucket shops are places
where gambling pure and simple,
goes forward, but he did contend that
their transactions are identical with
a majority Of those engaged in by the
members OF the legitimate exchanges
In either instance he contended that
the so called business done was bet
ting, nothing more and nothing less;
and he could not see why any legal
hair splitting should be done about
the matter. In commenting on the
position taken By Judge Crumpacker
The News and Courier sava ''if tho
Supreme Court shall now hold with
Judge Crumpacker on this point it
will be interesting to watch what the
result will be. A legal declaration that
our great stock operators are nothing
more than gamblers might make 1t
exceedingly awkward for some of them
who are forced to collect their win.
nings in our courts of law. The stat.
utes on the subject are pretty much
all made for the protection of lambs
rather than for the advantage OF
wolves"

name of the library to "The Timrod
Library" With no intention OF in.

appreciated during life as he should
have been. No man can read the
poems and odes Of the gifted Timrod

CROP BULLETIN.
What Director Bauer says About
Crops tho Past week.

The week ending Monday, May 1st,
had practically normal temperature.
Though the first Of the week was
cooler than usual, the last few days
were very warm, with maximum tenn
peratures above 80 dsgrees on the
29th.
There were rains on the 26th, 9th
and Goth, with hail in a few places,
and destructive high winds in Union
and Saluda counties. The precipita.
tion averaged somewhat over an inch
for the State, though many places re.
ported less than an inch, but over the
entire State enough moisture was sup.
piled for the present need OF all crops
and for terminating recently planted
seeds. There were excessive rains in
the central and eastern counties that
delayed teamwork from one to three
days, but, as rule, the precipitation
was needed and proved very benefi-
cial.
Flowing and planting were inter
rupted, but made fair progress with
the soil generally in excellent condi-
tion. Cotton planting is more than
three-fourtbs finished, and early plant
ings are coming up to good stands;
some cotton has been chopped in the
eastern counties. There has been
some replanting done in the central
counties where the nights have been
too cool. Corn planting Is now con-
fined to bottom lands, and generally
to the western counties Early corn
has good stands but is being severely
damaged by cut and bud worms, ne
cessitating considerable replanting.
The corn that was cut down by the
recent frosts is coming out again and
will not need to be replanted. Early
corn is being cultivated.
The wheat crop is being damaged
by the fly in several northwestern
counties, but is otherwise promising
The oats crop was scarcely injured by
the frosts and, with exceptions in the
southeastern countless; is In promis.
Ing condition though heading too low
in places.
Truck was greatly benefited by the
showers OF the week and Is promising,
except peas which were injured by the
cold weather Of February and again
in April. Some white potatoes were
completely destroyed by the frost,
while the larger portion Of the crop
Is making a new growth. Large
shipments OF Strawberries are being
made.
Protected peach and other fruit
trees were only lightly touched by the
frost Of the 18th Of April, in the ex.
treme northwest, while exposed trees
had all their fruit killed; the damage
is less in the central counties and very
small in the eastern one. Apples are
not promising. Pear trees are blight.

begun in the Georgetown district,

tricts. Tobacco transplantng is we'll
