THE BOARD OF PARDONS
New Board Will Go Into Office Within
One Month FROM Approval of the
AES:

7 Governor Hayward Saturday night
announced the appointement Of the
board Of pafdons provided for in the
act recently passed at the session /, OF
the general assembly just ended. The
board consists of Mr.. W. R. Shand
Of Columbia, Mr.. Wilson G. Harvey
Of Charleston and Mr.. r. Mays Cleve-
land Of Greenville.
In selecting the board, Gov. Hey
ward endeavored to secure three men
Of the highest standing and character,
Who are not actively in politics, and
those who know the three gentlemen
consider that he has succeeded in
naming such mleh: Mr. Shand, who
is appointed for the three year term,
is the recently retired president of the
South Carolina State Bar association
and no lawyer in the State stands
higher in the estimation Of the profess
sion and the public at large. Under
the terms of the act the resident mem
Der of the board will be the secretary.
Mr.. Harvey, who is appointed for
two years, is president Of the Enter
rlise bank of Charleston and is one
of the most progressive and popular
young business men in the city. He
has wide acquaintance throughout
the State.
Mr.. Cleveland, whose home is at
Marietta in Greenville county, is one
6f the most substantial. honorable
and public-spirited men in South Car
olina. He is one Of the largest and
most successful farmers i'll the up
country and is a member Of The State
executive committee Of the Southern
Cotton Association, in which organi-
zation he has taken all active interest.
Mr.. Cleveland formerly represented
Greenville county in the general as
sembly. He gets the one year term.
The board will go into Office 30 days
otter the law is signed, which was
done Saturday. The members are to
receive 81 per day for their services
while in session and their meetings
are limited to 20 days during the year,
SO that for such men as have been
named the work will be one purely
OF honor and patriotism. The COVER
nor is empowered to refer to the
board any petition for pardon upon
which he desires their recommends
ton but he is not required to do so
and he is not required to follow the
Recommendation Of The board in
granting or refusing a pardon. As a
practical matter, it is not likely that
any governor will in many instances
decline to follow the rccommenda-
sstions of The board
