Gov. Hayward Friday commuted to
life Imprisonment the sentence OF Bob
smalls OF North Carolina, who Is under
sentence OF death in Darlington jail.
smaus was sentenced to be hanged in
May OF last year, but an appeal was
taken to the supreme court. a new
trial could not be obtained and the
cass then csme up to Gov. Hayward.
Bob Snalls and John Noll we're two
vagabond white men working at q
saw mill in Darlington county. They
killed hard working negro named
Frank Scott on the 9Th of March,
1905. Scott had shot dog belonging
to Mr.. Harper for whom the white
men we're working. Scott was stop
ped on the public highway by these
two young white men and was shot
down without provocaaion. The as.
satlants were drinking. They perhaps
acted more in spirit Of bra7ado than
with intent to murder, for the wound
was in Frank Scott's thigh and his
death was caused by an artery being
severed.
After Scott was.wouDded, and after.
wards it turned out to be fatal
wound, Noll, in savage and reckless
spirit fred at Mr.. Howle, a white
farmer, who was demonstrating with
the two young men. Noll was sen.
fenced to serve for life and Smalls
was sentenced to be hanged.
Gov. Hayward has been deluged
with petitions in Smalls' behalf. 1t
was stated that this man was hardly
responsible. BE had never known
the difference between right and
wrong and has expressed great pen,-
tencs since. There have been more
petitions In behalf Of this man than
for any ether prisoner whose life has
been demanded by the Law since Gov.
Hayward came into office.
The prosecution endeaVored to show
malice because of an alleged threat
Smalls had made. A witness who
could not be obtained at the time Of

that Smslls did not make such q
threat at the time specified. This re-

The Chattanooga, Tenn, Darby
Times, OF July "a, says: The enSe1-
tainment given at the auditorium
last night under the auspices OF the
colored department. OF the z. NJ. c.
a. was a signal success, number OF
white people being present besides
possibly 1000 negioss.
Tae principal event OF the evening
was the address OF T. E. Miller, OF
Orangeburg, S. c., president Of the
state college OF South Carolina for
negroes at that point. BE was can-
gresham from that district to the
fifty. first congress as we'll as being q
member of the state legislature OF
South Carolina for a number OF years.
His subje was che needs OF educa
tion for the negro race. He said that
when Booker T. Washington first
started out with bis doctrine OF q
tooth brush and a bar Of soap as the
first needs Of the negro, be considered
him narroW-minded, listening to him
with horror and. disgust. Nov,

upon the platform and asks every
thing for the negro: that the white

He evidently did not approve OF In
dustrial education as the salvation OF
the negro, as be said be wanted q
thorough education that would per.
nea5e every Gre ice where there was
q negro and make them the equal CT
all, making every little negro girl q
princess 10 rule in her immunity.
I'VE need that education that Will
make us bread winners and rulers OF
our own homes.
II would not give ten cents for q
white boy OF girl who can only scan 2
poem or rattle on a piano sno cannot
make a cup OF tea or cook a beefstsak
or biscuit when the seivant is away"
He said be felt the same way about
the negro. They should all have q
trade before they went higher.
'We want the education that WILL
lit Us up and make US the sqaal OF
any race or any people regardless OF
the color OF cur skin or the kinks OF
our hair.
LET US give thanks for the new
south which intends to DO right By
the negro, for they do intend to treat
the negro right. ,
''Don't go of and say I told you to

he sought to impress upoa lis
audience the importance OF saving
and owcing their own homes, thus

constahles became exceedingly vigil
ant, and the Jug trade dropped of
rapidly until today hardly as much
whiskey is shipped into the city
through the express ofice as was
shipped in Immediately following the
abolition Of the dispensary. Crime
has decreased very materially and the
arrests for drunkenness have dropped
off very decidedly"
Chief OF Police Bscknell, OF Green
vile: "Blind tigers are under con-
troll and conditions In the city are
gccd. A decided decrease in rowdy-
ism and fewer arrests. Police records
show that for the six months ending
January l, 1905, (under the dispen.
sarJ) there were 647 arrests, sAd for
the six months ending July /, 1905
(under prohibitior) there were 337 ar

DARLINGTON COUNTY.
Sheriff Blackwell says: - blind
man can come here and tell the differ.
ence. In fact there is no comparison
as to sobriety, law and order. Take
the Fourth Of July, for instance:
when there we're several Thousand
people here. There was not a disor-
derly man here and I did not zee one
under the influence OF whiskey. All
blind tigers Of any importance have
heen squsshed. OF course there are
a number Of pocket blind tigers, but
there is not one. tenth Of whiskey sold
as prior under the dispensary. And
there is not any big sight OF an In.
crease in the jug trade either. l
don't know positively the sentiment
OF the people, but I am OF the opinion
that they are satisfied with present
conditions. I am confident they
don't want the digpensary again.
Mayor @. S. Mccullough OF Dari'
ington, when inter Vie we'd said: We
have had ereat deal better order IL
the town Of Darlington since the dis
pansary was removed than before.
The records show that" said he,
turning to bis books, showing q de-
crease OF fully one.third In
the cases recorded in the
same period Of time before and since.
I'VE have less blind tigers in town
now than under the dispensary, but
the Jug trade is some larger. l thing
the sentiment Of the town Is that as
long as Florence, Timnonsville, Bish-
opville and Cheraa are with dispense.
ries, the people want one in town
| here to keep trade. But they really
prefer not to have q dispensary at all
and think that other towDs should
7ots 1T out"
Chief OF Police A. E Dsrgan stat
ed: I'VE have less drunkenness and
better order. There are more blind
tigers, but most OF them are walking
ones. Tue jug trade has increased,
but I don't think the people want the
dlspensary back. 1t is my opinion
that they would ike to have q high
license system 80 far as the town OF
Darlington Is concerned"
Supervisor G. W. Milling gave 1t as
his opinion that conditions have i'm.

that there is better law and order and
that drunkenness has decreased.

ANDERSON COUNTY.

ANDERSON COUNTY.
Sheriff Green says that there has
been a great improvement over the
county since the diSpensaries were
cloged. Some blind tigers existed while
vhe diSpenssries remained open, and
since their removal the number OF
tigers has sho8n some decrease. There
are few blind tigers, but the officers
are vigilant and suppress them as
they appear. There have been blind
tigers all the time. Fewer complaints
OF drunkenness and shooting and other
disorders reach the otacs OF the sheriff
now. Mr.. Green lives TWO miles north
CT che city on the public reads. He
selccm sees a case Of drunkenness
now, but while the dispensaries were
open men, noisy and drunken. passed
along the road.
Mr.. L. N. Murphy, chief OF police,
CT Anderson says that conditions have
improved in the city. There has been
some whiskey sold, but this has been
IN small quantities and from jug ship
ped here to individuals. That is the
extent Of it. There have been three
convictions il the police court tor
selling liquor this year.
Nj. E. E. Nicholson, county super
intsndent OF education, thinks that
conditions have improved since the
closing OF the dispensary. he has not
seen more than half dczsn drunken
men since then. Drunkenness in the
country mas besn reduced greatly, bis
observation leads him to believe.
UNION COUNTY.
The correspondent says in the city
Of Union the police snd State consta
bles are very active now, and have
the blind tiger situation so well in
band that but very little liquor is for
sale. ever with what blind tigers sold
in dispensary Gays. Police Sergeant
Evans, who has been connected with
the forces of and on for the past zen
years, said: 'As to drunkenness, it
has generally decreased. The records
show arrests for drunkenness, June,
1865 Is; and June, 1905. s. as to
o.ind tigers, 1t is much easier to con-
troll them now, as more sentiment Is

less drinking in Conway now than be-
fore the dispensary was voted out OF
the county, but We don't have as good
order. The prevalence OF blind tt.
gers, which believe is about 20 to !
increase, keeps the town in o stir.
The blind tigers are reinforced by the
enormous jug trade to which the town
is subject. I know the people are not
pleased with blind tigers, and think
they prefer the dispensary. Were the
vote again had on the question OF dis
psnsary or no dispensary, I think
there would be little change in the
result unless combined with the pri-
mary when the people turned out
then the dtspensary, I think, would
be voted back
MI. S. O. Jackson, county superVi-
sor, Is OF the opinion that drunken.
ness has decreased in the city, but has
shown an increase in the country dis.
tricts. He says that there are 8 great
many blind tigers in the county.
MIR. E. L. Keys, agent OF the ex-
press company, estimates the increase
in the Jug trade at 200 per cent. An
average OF about so gallons is received
at the local Office each day, with an
average OF 10 gallons per day for the
same period last year.
