SOUTH CAROLEfQANEWS ITEMS
News of Interest Cleaned From All Sections of e State and
Arranged Fer Busy Readers
Looks Like Infanticide.

Lexington, Special-What seems to
be a clear case of infanticide came
to light a few days ago, when the
body Of an infant was found near a
branch in the upper part of town.
The discovery was made ,, negro
woman, who was attracted to the
scene by the terrible odor. The child
was wrapped in cotton, and had evi-
IDENTIFY been born a week, as the arms
was almost ready to drop off at the
shoulders from decomposition. Those
who saw it, say that it was impossible
to discern whether the child died
from natural causes or whether it was
killed by the heartless parent and car
ried to the swamp with the hope of
covering up the crime. The SUPPOSE
tion is that the party who placed it
where it was found intended throw
ing it into the water, SO that the dis
covery would never be made. 1t has
caused great deal of talk among the
negroes, but they are very cautious
how they speak. 1t is said that the
child had been moved since it was
found as it could not be found later,
There has been no official action tax
en- in the case, but it is one that
should be investigated, and it is very
likely that Coroner Clerk will look in
to., the situation Immediately.

ocean and the West or the waterways
that converge in the Mississippi val
ley and carry their floods to the gulf.
I believe that it is the duty Of those
charged with the business of govern
ment to develop these things upon
which n nations prosperity depends.
eff the work should be done, and [
believe that it should, then you pec-
ole who believe it should be done
Should agree upon the best methods
by which to do it. But l repeat that
you must not be frightened because
it may require an investment. At St.
Louis last fall they resolved that
$500, 100000 spent in improving the
waterways of the Mississippi valley
would bring an interest in the way
of decreased cost of transportation
amounting to s1SO,OOO,O0O year
Why, my friends, if it only saved
5O,OOO,OOO a year it would be ten
per cent. interest ON the investment.
"I believe that the plan should be
commenced now. I believe that it
should be comprehensive plan, that
it should deal with the entire sub
iect and that it should be a perma-
nent plan; that we should begin now
to lay the foundation for the future
greatness of this country, in the
development of these natural re-
sources, these God-given water courses
of ours"

ready too much supervised. That de-
pends entirely upon what is meant by
supervision. If it means the constant
meddling in petty details, or the
jealous interference with teachers in
matters concerning only themselves,
or the insistence upon teachers be-
coming cheap imitators of a fad
fiend superintendent, then perhaps we
have too much. E;ut if supervision
means the readiness and ability to
assist the teacher, the power to in
spire her, the tact to prune and re-
fine and strengthen her, and the man.
hood to sustain her (and it USUALLY
does), then dissent vehemently. All
over the State we have young men
and women who as teachers ought to
succeed, but who are failing because
they have no one to advise them and
to support them in the crucial mo-
ments of trial. This is especially true
in the rural and village schools. Is
it any wonder that the young teach
ers flock to the towns7
The rural schools must have better
supervisor. Nearly seventy per cent.
of the white school children of this
State are in the rural schools. They
are entitled to as good and as close
supervision as are any other children.
Proper supervision can not be given
as long as we multiply the one-teach-
er schools with fifteen pupils each.
and permit the popular election of
supervisors at salary of $6S4 On
a salary of 1854 what can a county
superintendent do toward the real
supervision of $50 teachers scattered
all over the county, in perhaps 100
school houses?
Require that the county superin-
tendent be an expert educator. let
him be appointed by a board and re-
sponsible to that board, keep him in
office as long as he is efficient and paw
him an experts salary. We shall
find the men prepared to do the
work. Then we shall stop fritteripg
away the school fund, increase the
fund, and we shall get results. Soon
er or later our pepole are going to
come to look at this matter some
what as did Hon. John j. McMahan
in his report for 1900.

State Pardon Board.

Columbia, special.-The Board of
Pardons, consisting of Messrs. R.
Mays Cleveland, of Greenville, c. W.
Savage, of Colleton, and W. A. Clark,
of Columbia, met last weeksto consid-
er the petitions for pardon referred
to the board by the governor. There
were only four such petitions refer
red, as the governor has acted on
most of the petitions presented within
the last three months, since the last
meeting Of the board. The petitions
referred are the following:
Lawrence Hampton, convicted Of
murder il Greenwood. and sentenced
to be hanged. Governor Ansel grant
ed respite until the 18th of this
month, and it will be recalled that
the governors secretary, Mr.. Bethea.
went to Greenwood during the food,
at much inconvenience and with great
difficulty to get the respite there in
time and prevent the hanging.
Gary Renew, Aiken County, petit
larceny, sentenced to FIVE years in the
Reformatory.
Thos. Wells, Laurens, manslaugh-
ter, three years, from January, 1905.
Robert Gunnells, Greenvillc, rape,
sentenced to eleven years in Septem-
Der, 1903. The case of Gunnells has
been before the governor and pardon
board before, having been referred to
the board by Governor Hayward first
in September, 1906, and refused by
the board the following January, and
again in September 1907. Gunnels,
young white man Of excellent fam
lily, served in the Philippines, and was
said to be mentally unhinged by his
life there. Returning to his old home
in Greenville he committed an afro
cious crime. His mother,has been un-
tiring in her efforts to secure par
don and was here to press the petition
before the board.
The recommendations of the board.
Of pardons is not binding on the gov
ernor, and he is not under the law
compelled to refer any case to the
board, the pardoning power being
vested in the governor solely under
the law.

shortly the remainder of the envelope

shape and then was transformed into

balloon was considerably arrested. 1t

while being swept by the wind, far to
the southeast, and finally disappeared
from view behind a block of houses.
The suspense among the crowds was
terrible. But a few minutes later
a telephone message was received
from Frienenau, which announced
that the men had landed and had not
been seriously injured. The other bal
looms were sent up, after brief. de-
lay, without further accident.

spartanburg, S. c., spccial.-In the
heart of Spartanburg with its 10000
population, mob of infuriated citi-
zens, at times numbering thousand
or more, fought Saturday and Satur-
day night with the military and civil
authorities for the possession of John
Irby, negro who is alleged to have
attempted TO ravish Miss Lille Demp-
sey earlier in the day while the young
woman was on her way here from
Saxon Mill village, three miles away.
-Four persons were wounded, one of
them seriously, and John Sparks, a
restaurant keeper, was arrested and
held without bail on the charge of
shooting Sheriff Nichols, who was
slightly wounded in the exchange of
shots between the mob and the au-
thorities who were protecting the
prisoner.
Beginning about noon the crowd,
sullen and bent on vengeance on the
negro, roamed about the court house
square, approaching at times the very
gates of the high wall enclosing the
jail. Late at night the situation be-
came alarming. The crowd was
augmented by 500 people from Green
vile. There was some shooting in
the street and the mob moved into
the public square.
The first shot came from a window
Of the jail and it was followed by
others from the same quarter. An
answering shot was fired from the
crowd. This broke a window in The
Jail and slightly wounded Sheriff
Nichols. Sparks was accused of the
shooting and Immediately taken into
custody. His attorneys offered $1,000
bail but this was refused.
Girl Identifies Negro.
Irby's arrest was effected shortly
after the commission of his crime
and close to the scene of his attack.
He was captured by mill operatives,
was taken before the young woman,
