Young Milllcan Pardoned.

Gov. Hayward last week granted
a pardon to Ubi V. Millican, the
Spartanburg boy who killed his STEP
father last spring. The case is one
of the most extraordinary that has
come before Gov. Hayward in his
eventful four years service.
Millican killed his step-father on
the public square at Spartanburg
while there were a great many peo-
pie on the street. A winchester rifle
was used, and the whole affair was a
spectacular way of avenging what
Millican declares was an improper
proposal to his sister.
The pardon was granted upon pc
tition of the jury and upon recon-
mendation of Judge Dantzler and So
licitor Sease. It appears that the
jury brought in a verdict of guilty
with the understanding that Millican
was guilty, technically, but that the
solicitor would recommend pardon.
Millican, when convicted, entered
an appeal, but his attorneys subse-
quently abandoned the appeal.

Needed improvements.

The next.thing in order for the town il
waterworks and the paving of Main street
These improvements must come and that
right away. We need them badly and
must have them. We can have the stree,
paved with the new bitulithic compost
ton, which is fine. The sidewalks should
be cemented as well. We can get the
bitulithic paving laid at $1.90 square
yard. and it, would cost about $4,50(
TO have the street paved from the cotton
mill to the railroad. The property own
ers on both sides of the street should pay
a portion of the cost of paving the stree,
and cementing the sidewalks.

American, you who are an English

you. All that you have read or been
told about the wonders of America
will seem dim before reality. Take,
for example. the trip up the Hudson.
There is no grander scenery in the
world. not even on the Rhine. Then
you have Niagara and the great lakes.
Magnificent, sir, is not fit word. 1t
is gorgeous, overwhelming! If you
have the time, take look through the
wilderness and grandeur Of the Adiron-
dacks. the oldest mountain range we
have. They will prepare you for the mar
velous scenery of the great west. Then
as you proceed through our principal
states and largest and most populous
cities TO travel onward TO Colorado
your mind will be appalled, by the WIS.,
No voice can describe IL! The Colorado

of the Gods! These are names that
send q thrill through the heart Of every
patriotic American. Then go south, to
the blue grass region. Go to Mammoth

ed. The old world is nothing to it,

severely. You have genuine talent,

BEAUTIFUL OLD INDIAN LEGEND
The Transformation of Leaves Into
Birds Still Believed

An Indian story that has been hand
ed down and is still believed by many
Indian tribes is one about the trans
formation of leaves into birds, says
the Kansas City Journal. Long years
ago, when the world was young. the
Great Spirit went about the earth
making it beautiful Wherever his
feet touched the ground lovely trees
and flowers sprang up. All summer
the trees wore their short green
dresses. The leaves were very happy
and they sang their sweet songs to
the breeze as it passed them. One
day the wind told them the time
would soon come when they would
have to fall from the trees and die
This made the leaves feel very bad, but
they tried to be bright and do the best
they could so as not to make the
mother trees unhappy. But at last the
time came and they let go Of the
twigs and branches and fluttered to
the ground. They lay perfectly quiet,
not able to move except as the wind
would lift them.
The Great Spirit saw them and
thought they were so lovely that he
cid not want TO see them die. but live
and be beautiful forever, so he gave
to each bright leaf pair of wings and
power TO fly. Then he called them
his birds" From the red and brown
leaves of the oak came the robins. and
yellow birds from the yellow willow
leaves. and from bright maple leaves
leaves became wrens, sparrows and
other brown birds. This is why the
birds love the trees and always go to
them TO build their nests and look for
food and shade.
