Hays Pardoned.

Gov. Hayward has pardoned Hoyt
Hays, who was sent to the peniten-
tiary from Oconee county for killing
his wife. In 1904 the governor COM
muted the sentence from hanging to
life imprisonment, because he thought
Hays was not guilty-being convinced
by New York handwriting expert
and on Saturday he issued a full par
don. This man was convicted of the
murder Of his wife on the supposition
that he forged a note when the evi-
dence was against the forgery theory
and no motive was ever assigned.

What the Country Needs.

Is reliable people in all departments
to fulfill the duties of life, thereby
connecting the chains of usefulness.
The plan to attain this is for our law
makers and fathers of the country and
families to teach their subjects and
children to be honorable, prompt and
reliable.
Teaching our population that money
is all they need, as is generally prac-
ticed from top to bottom, is a sad
mistake. People need to be taught
efficiency in all professions, the main
thing that gives satisfaction. We need
to be taught that our neighbor and the
country must have confidence in us to
use us to advantage. Money ceases to
be valuable as soon as confidence is
lost or it is known to be counterfeit.
Same it is with people. AS soon as
they are found to be unreliable they
are of very little service to themselves
or to the country.
AL citizens should be taught that
they have duty in life to perform,
and the more satisfaction they give
the happier they will be themselves
and the more pleasure to the world.
We should be taught that misrepre-
sentation and betraying confidence
hurts US and our fellow-man. All
professions in life are susceptible of
improvement. The country needs re-
liable citizens from top to bottom,
from servants to rulers.
There is so-called law for thieves,
especially of the minor class, but the
larger usually go unpunished. Liars
do the country more harm than thieves
from the fact lies travel faster and
grow as they travel, while thieves are
liable to be caught, and there is no
law to punish liar. There should be
greater punishment for liars than for
thieves because it has always been
said that "He who lies will steal.''
If you want to stop disease you
must kill the germs, therefore imme-
diate action should be taken against
the liars, because they are getting to
be very common. It is distinction
that some people seem to be proud of.

Death of Henry Campbell.

That unercing hand that with III
Justice fate knocks at the palace and
at the poor mans gate, on last Sun
day night appeared at the home of our
fellow citizen Henry Campbell and
bid him appear at the bar of his
creator, with the rich and the poor,
with the prince and the peasant. He
had made years before and showed it
in his life that wise choice that made
Judgment easy and condemnation i'm
possible.
He came from Richland county
about fifteen years ago and married
native girl Lavinia King whom with
three children he leaves to miss his
care.
He was quiet, peaceable and low
ing man. He has been a consistant
member of the Methodist church and
lived up to it's requirements. He took
an interest in all public enterprises.
He was member of the Junior Order
of United Am. Mechanics, Swansea,
and was buried with it's honors by
the lodge.
He now rests in the grave yard of
Sharon Methodist, generally known as
Cross Roads church. After the funeral
services by Rev. M. F. Dukes, the
pastor of the circuit.

tack tine vital organs, causing catarrk of
the bladder, or the kidneys themselves
break down and waste away cell by cell.
Bladder troubles almost always result
from a arrangement of the kidneys and
cure is obtained quickest by a proper
treatment of the kidneys. IF yeu are feel
ing badly you can make no mistake by
taking DR.. Ki1mer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
It corrects inability to hold urine and
scalding pain In passing it, and over
comes that unpleasant necessity of being
compelled to go often through the day,
and to get up many times during the
night. The mild and the extraordinary
effect of Swamp Root is soon realized.
It stands the highest for its wonderful
cures of the most distressing cases.
Swamp Root is pleasant to take and is
sold by all druggists in ffty-cent and
one dollar size bottles. You may have a
sample bottle of this wonderful new dis
covery and book that tells all about it,
both sent free by mail. Address, Dr.. Kill
mer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y. When
writing mention reading this generous
offer in this paper. Don't make any
mistake, but remember the name, Swamp
Root, Dr.. Kilner's Swamp Root, and the
address, Binghanlton, n. Y, on every
bottle.

among horses which is thought to be
glanders has appeared in the country

died several days ago, the other has

n. CLAY PIERCE is ILL.
Unable to Testify in Custer Case at
ST. Louis.

st. Louis, March 21.-The second
days session of the oil hearing in the
custer case of Missouri against the
Standard Republic and Waters-Pierce
Oil companies was marked by the fail
ure of H. Clay Pierce to appear, owing
to the fact that he is threatened with
pneumonia, and the severe cross-ex-
animation of Charles M. Adams, secre-
tary-treasurer OF the Pierce
company. Stock certificates were pro-
duced and read to show that the Stand
ard Oil company held stock in the Wa
ters-Pierce company in 1900, when that
company was reorganized.
Attorney General Hadley during the
day telegraphed to Secretary of State
Swanger, asking him not to permit the
Republic OH company to withdraw
from business in Missouri, as such a
course would defeat the investigation.

public Oil company was selling out to
