Convict in Idaho Pen Makes Good
His Escape.
-FOUR GUARDS WERE FIRED BY WARDEN
DISAPPEARANCE NOT DISCOV.
Erred UNTIL CELLS WERE
UNLOCKED SATURDAY..

1t was discovered yesterday morn
ing that A. E.. Love, alias Portland
Whitley" a well-known character all
over the northwest, who was received
at the penitentiary last April to serve
15-year term for burglary, had es-
capped early Saturday evening, says
the Boise Statesman. AS a conse-
quence there are four vacancies in
Warden Whitney's official family, and
Turnkey John E. Robinson and Guards
Joseph Brim, William Dewitt and
William H. Rogers are seeking new
positions.
The last time that Love was seen
at the penitentiary was during supper
Saturday evening, but he was duly
checked into his cell with the rest Of
the convicts and was counted there
every half hour during the night by
the guards on duty. 1t was not until
Captain Ackley unlocked the cells yes

that one of the convicts was missing.
There were supposed to be two con-
victs in the cell, and Loves cellmate
was asked where his partner was.

haven't seen him. He wasn't locked
up here at all last night.
Over the Wall During Supper.
Love was seen at the supper table
last evening, when he asked to be ex-
cused for a moment, as is customary
with the prisoners. He left the room,
and it is supposed that he hurried at
once to the stone shed and secured a
plank, with the aid of which he scaled
the WALL and departed for pastures
green and fields anew.

Board Of Pardons Named by Governor.
1.-THE State, February IT,

Governor Hayward last night an
nounced the appointment of the board
Of pardons provided for in the act re-
Gently passed at the session of the Gene
raj Assembly just ended. The board
consists of r. w. Shand, of Columbia; /;
Wilson G. Harvey, OF Charleston, and
r. Mays Cleveland, of Greenville.
In selecting the board, Governor 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
men. Mr.. Shand, who is appointed for
the threeyear term, is the recently re-
tired president of the South Carolina
State Bar association and no lawyer in
the State stands higher in the estimation
of the profession and the public at large.
Under the terms of the act the resident
member of the board will be tho secre-
tary.
Mr.. Harvey, who is appointed for two
years, is president of the Enterprise
Bank of Charleston and is one of the
most progressive and popular young
business men of that city. He has a
wide acquaintance throughout the State.
Mr.. Cleveland, whose home is at Mari
etta, in Greenville county, is one of the
most substantial, honorable and public
spirited men in South Carolina. He is
one of the largest and most successful
farmers in the up-country and is a men,
Der of the State executive committee, Of
the Souther Cotton Association, in which
organization he has taken a deep aud
active interest. Mr.. Cleveland formerly
represented Greenville county in the
General Assembly. He get the one-year
term.
The board will go into Office 30 days
after the law is signed, which was done
yesterday. 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 Governor is empowered to refer to
the board any petitions for pardon upon
which he desires their recommendation,
but he is not required to do so and he is
not required to follow the recommended
tions of the board in granting or refus-
ing pardon. AS practical matter, it
is not likely that any Governor will in
many instances decline to follow the
recommendations of the board, as the
pardon problem has become more and
more burden upon that official within
the last few years.

Resignation OF Mr.. Keys.

Robert J.. Keys has rendered his
resignation as agent of the Southern
Express Company in this city, to
take effect on April 1st. Mr.. Keys
has been the representative of the
Express Company in this city ever
since the railroad agent at the depot
was relieved of the work and the
Office moved up town-about twenty
one years a9o-and we venture the
assertion that The company has never
had in its service more efficient,
Jealous or accommodating agent.
During his long term of service he
was absent from his Office only one
day on account of sickness and only
took two short trips away from
home. Mr.. Keys is most devoted
Confederate veteran and has wide
circle of friends throughout this
section who will join us in wishing
him much success in whatever bust
ness he may engage in the FUTURE.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed CON
dition of the mucous lining of the eusta-
chan tube. When this tube gets infamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the
Inflammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever. Nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
tion of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for
any case of deafness Caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars free.

An Able Senator.

Senator Tillman has been quoted as
saying that it was possible in certain cir
cumstances that instead for reelection
to succeed himself in the United States
Senate that he might run for the Office of
Governor and make the dispensary ques-
ton the issue of the campaign. We
trust he will do nothing of the kind.
Since the dispensary was first established
the Star has been an advocate of the
system, and still thinks that the best 80
luton of the vexing problem lies in gov
ernment control. But we do not think
that the liquor question should be made
an issue par excellence, an issue SO over
shadowing that the voter would lose
sight of every other issue, no matter
how vital, and of every other qualifica-
tion of candidate who may offer for
any office.E But we have still stronger
reason for hoping that Senator Tillman
will not entertain any idea of relinquish-
ing his seat in tho United States Senate
he is one of the ablest representatives
that South Carolina has ever had in this
august body, and is to-day generally
recognized as one of the ablest men
there from the whole South. And, there
fore, he owes it to his.State and to the
South to retain his seat and continue his
work in this his greater sphere of use
fulness. To-day he is stronger than he
has ever been in South Carolina, and if
he should be candidate for the Office of
Governor he would be elected, but it is
of more importance that he remain in
Washington than that he should return
to the Governors mansion to save the
dispensary. y.-Marion Star.

The Work Of the General Assembly

Columbia, February 2O.-The General
Assembly, which adjourned Saturday
night, was expected to deal with three
most important matters: Taxation, the
dispensary and biennial sessions. 1t did
NOTHING ON any one of the three
topics. The record is blank, perhaps
more than blank.
just for the moment it may be we'll to
give the finale on the dispensary legisla-
tion. The whole situation is expressed
in the trite expression, "Nothing DONE"
Not a syllable in the act in force when
the members came here has been changed.
One proposition to amend the law after
another was killed. The House stood to
the finish against tho State dispensary,
while the Senate, on the other hand, in
sisted and persisted that the State dis
pensary must stand, and that the thing
to do was to purify the State dispensary
and not abolish it. AS was said, the
House would have agreed to almost any
reasona BILE proposition that would have
contained the abolition of the State dis
pensary. 1t wanted local option, and it
voted to that effect time and again. The
Senate, with its forty-one members,
blocked everything that was proposed by
the House, and persisted in it's one idea
that the State dispensary could be puri-
fed by its bills. Friday night, when the
House, by the largest vote recorded, re-
jected the Senate bill, practically all hope
of legislation was gone. Some seemed
to think that there might be something
done by the conference committees, and
if the Senate had agreed to the PROPOSE
tion to abolish the State dispensary and
let the counties run the dispensary,
whore they wished, and kept prohibition
in those counties that have it, the way
would have been very clear.

WEDNESDAY,. FEB. 2s. 1909.
A Voice from Old Pickens.

Old Plckens, >. u, February 2Oth,
1906.-Editors Courier: UP to date
February has been lovely month
and the farmers are making good use
of the fair weather preparing their
lands for another huge cotton crop.
Already the wagons may be seen
hauling guano from the towns and
supplies with which to make the
crop. Sad evidence that all do not
make their necessaries at home, but
rely too much on cotton.
The two bridges across Little river
are being rebuilt and it is to be
hoped they will soon be completed
The many friends of Miss Marga-
ret Hill in this section are rejoiced
to hear she is improving and hope
that she may soon be fully restored
to health.
On Sunday last communion SER
vices were held at Old Pickens
(Presbyterian) church by Rev. w.
F. Strickland, who preached an able
and earnest sermon from the text {:
"The spirit of man is the lamp of
the Lord" Among many other good
things he said: "What the sun is to
the material world, furnishing
light, warmth and life to it.,
the regenerated spirit of man
is to the spiritual world, rejecting
the goodness, mercy and love of
God" This was an excellent sermon
well fitting the occasion, replete with
comforting spiritual advice and
Christian sentiment Although he
had larger congregation than usual
it is to be regretted that more of our
people did not hear the reverend
gentleman on this occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Craig and two
daughters, who recently moved here
from Greenville, were received into
the church by letter. This is quite
an addition to the church and is en-
couraging to our devoted minister
who has laborcd so faithfully among
us for more than a year. We con-
template reorganizing the Sunday
school at this place next Sabbath, for
which there is abundant material in
this neighborhood.
The Sabbath school may be truly
regarded as the cradle of the church
and it is to be hoped that the parents
will realize the vast Importance of
inculcating upon the youthful mind
spiritual truth and of pointing the
way to usefulness and happiness on
earth and eternal joy among the re-
deemed in heaven.
l have read with much pleasure
and interest the daring challenge of
our true and conscientious represen-
tative, Hon. +. f. Werner, to the
domineering Tillman. Mr.. Werner
clearly has truth, right, virtue and
morality on his side and there are
not Tillmans enough on earth and
demons enough in hades to forever
crush so righteous cause. Accord
ing to Mr.. Verner's idea, based upon
abundant reliable information, there
is in South Carolina an Augean
stable OF immense proportions which
must be cleansed, and Just as "surely
as night follows the day" that "truth
is mighty and will prevail" and that
God rules the affairs of men and of
nations, just so surely in His own
good time some Hercules will arise
TO accomplish the stupendous work
and who knows but that r. r.. Yer
Der, of Oconee county, may be des-
tined for that glorious purpose

The "criminal and Silly Rich"

The "Criminal and Silly Rich"
Our polite and refined society must
share the shame of it's scavengers.
Town Topics would have died of inan-
itiOn long ago had it not been for the
criminal rich and the silly rich. The
first class swollen with ill-gotten
gains, men whose business is gambling
and swindling, and whose pastime is
vice, have furnished abundant mater
ial for salacious paragraphs; and,
when attacked beyond endurance, have
paid handsome for being let alone
Their troubles, however, are primarily
due to their own guilt. The silly
rich are the ones whose plight is pitt
full. They are often innocent, vel!
meaning folk With a guilelessness
that approaches imbecility, they sup
pose that they gain distinction when
their names are printed in the So
ciety columns of Town Topics and
ether newspapers, and when they are
asked to subscribe to the ridiculous
'Fads and Fancies of the Four Hun
dred." A 3-year-old girl artlessly dis
playing a new ribbon is model of
dignity and reserve compared with
the grown women who give descrip-
tionS of their gowns to society report
ers and who thrill with pride when
the lists of their guests are thrust be-
fore the public 1t is upon the bad
taste, the ignorance and the vanity of
this tribe of the witless Mann and
Deuel. have fattened. By flattering,
cajoling and threatening those who
have everything but sound judgment,
they have made Town Topics and its
allied ventures a gold mine. 1t was
like stealing candy from a baby. II
our silly rich are incapable of taking
to heart the lesson of these disclos-
ures they would remain unmoved by
the thunders of Sinai-New York Ev,
