FORGED PARDON PETITION Ex-
POSED BY SOLICITOR DAVIS.
Have Been Completed
for Encalnpment of State Militia at
Observation-Disclosures Will Go
One at a Time.

Columbia, June 4.-Solicitor James
E. Davis has sprung sensation in his
refusal to endorse the pardon petition
of Hampton Robertson, a white man
given two years in Hampton county in
October, 1903, for Kidnapping and
adultery.
The solicitor first wrote this en-
dorsement on the petition:
''I know Of no reason why I should
recommend the defendants pardon, I
am, however, Of the opinion that the
punishment imposed by the court is
excessively severe. I therefore rec
ommend that the sentence be COM
muted to one year."
Then he ran his pen through this
and wrote:
".In looking over the petition I am
impressed with the idea that it is
full of forgeries. Therefore I de-
cline to make any recommendation
whatever upon it. In the meantime
I recommend that the governor re-
turn this petition to the clerk Of
Hampton county, with instructions
to turn it over to the solicitor
The clerk and sheriff, among 9TH
ers, have denied signing the petition.
1t is possible that if all solicitors
would read the pardon petitions re-
ferred to them many others would be
found to tbe lavishly forged. The Sit
uation Mr.. Davis opens to view is a
serious one.
Daisy Hyatt, a little tot Of five years,
was saved from death under the
wheels of an electric car last night
by Marie Abraham, an Assyrian girl,
only 13 years Of age, who lives with
her parents on the second floor OF the
Platt building, near the corner Of
Main and Laurel streets. The act was
one Of genuine heroism, as the little
Assyrian girl, forgetful Of self, riskine
her life to save that Of the child
under her care, was knocked down
by the car and now lies at her home
with her right arm and shoulder
swathed in bandages. Her injuries,
however, are only painful and not
dangerous. as no bones were broken.
Adjutant General Frost received a
letter from the war department Mon
day saying that three regiments from
this state will be allowed to go into
camp at Chickamauga separately, one
each week, beginning July %. For
moving South Carolina troops to and
from the camp $4,000 has been set
aside, and this will be sufficient, if the
railroads grant a rate of one cent a
mile travelled, which General Frost
has received assurances they will do
The order in which the regiments will
be sent out has not been fixed yet.

noon to measure bats with said nine.
The visiting nine landed in this place

and seemed to feel certain, oh, so
certain, of easy victory, but, alas, at
the conclusion Of the third inning, the
score stood "A to ] in favor Of the

Funeral services over the body Of
the late William II. Simpson, who died
at st. Luke's Hospital Saturday night,
will take place this afternoon at $50
o'clock from the parlors Of the Jack

Company, corner of Laura and Adams
streets, and will be conducted by Rev.
M. Campbell Stryker, rector Of the

The following gentlemen have been
requested to act as pail bearers: W.

The interment will be in Evergreen

The daughter of the deceased, Miss

months before his death, is almost
prostrated with grief over his sudden
death. Another daughter, Mrs. M. L.
ODwyer, of Mobile, Ala, will arrive

her husband who will take charge of
the arrangements. The three sons of
the deceased, living in St. Louis, we're
notified Of the death of their father,

Unconscious ON the Grave.
The circumstances surrounding the
death Of Mr.. Simpson were such that
the utmost sympathy goes out 20 the
members of the family. Since the
death of his wife month ago he had
grieved deeply and spent considerable
time in the cemetery where the body
Of his wife was buried. Saturday af-
ternoon he was found in an uncon-
scious condition lying across the grave
of his wife. He was taken to the hos
pital and died in short time. The at
tending physician gave the cause Of
death as apoplexy.
Some years ago Mr.. Simpson was a
railroad conductor and was a member
of the Charleston Lodge, Order of
Railway Conductors About 1890 he
was manager of the Altamonte Hotel,
located on Newman street between Bay
and Forsyth streets. This hotel was
originally known as the st. Marks,
then as the Hotel Togni, then as the
Altamonte, and after the fire in 1891,
when the fremont, on the corner Of
Main and Forsyth streets was Destroy
ed, it was known as the fremont. At
ter leaving Jacksonville Mr.. Simpson
returned to St. Louis, Mo-, where his
sons are engaged in business. He
came to Jacksonville some months ago
with his wife and daughter to spend
the winter
His wife became i'll and died about
a month ago. Since that time his
daughter and sons endeavored to in
duce him to return to St. Louis, but he
would not leave Jacksonville, where
the body Of his wife was buried. He
visited the grave every day, it is be-
lieved, and only short time before he
died, he was found lying across the
mound above the last resting place Of
his beloved companion Of so many
wears, in an unconscious condition.
