PROSPEROUS DORCHESTER

Dorchester county was formed
out OF portion OF Colleton, abont
hive years ago. The Dorchester
people cut loose from Cofleton be-
cause Colleton was too large and
it was impossible for the supervis-
or to work the roads thoroughly,
and to keep the bridges in repair.
Then again, the taxes were so high
in Colleton that capitalists would
not invest their money in the upper
end of Colleton (Dorchester's ter
ritory, and that section was not
developing as rapidly as it should.
The Colleton people used the high
er tax argument against the for
nation of Dorchester. but refer
ence to the table published else
where IN this issue, will show that
Dorcl1ester's levy is much lower
than Colleton's. although Dorches-
ter spent $4,000 in erecting a
court house and jail, something
the tax payers of our proposed new
county will not be called upon to
do. The following from the col
llmns of the Dorchester Eagle show
how well the people are pleased
with the change: -

girl was born while she was in prison.
The Influence OF this child was mark
on this former Wild beast. She saw
even in prison the better side of life.
The world took on a new aspect.
Gradually the hard lines Of her face
softened. she was a different woman.
Public sympathy was awakened and
the pardon board implored to set her
free At last 275,000 women Of Ohio
took 1t up with Governor Pennypacker.
He refused to interfere but owing to
some trouble with the pardon board
he never set the day for her execution.
So 1t stands.
Governor Stuart shows no desire to
set the day and now there Is a pre-
vailing feeling that If sac committed
the crime, she was surely insane at
the time
The most unusual and dramatic part
regards the child born in prison. When
the mother expected to be hanged she
consented to part with the child. A
body of ladies in one OF the western
states volunteered to see that the child
had a nome if the transfer was so
arranged that the child could never
be traced.
Mrs. Emma Kantner of this city un-
dertook the transfer OF the child. She
was told to take the child to Broad
street station In Philadelphia. and give
Il TO a lady who should give her a
slip of paper showing her authority.
The transfer was made and today no
person but the one receiving the child
at Broad street knows its whereabouts

pnosis has taken place. Instead we

This change has taken place during
her six years In prison. Sne is charg

The change has been brought about
by the force OF many influences out
side herself and within herself. The
years spent in jail are the only hap
py ones OF her life. At the early age
OF II years she was married to John
Edwards, drunken quarryman. Both
were without education and without
principle. He beat her. and cnoked

TURTLE RACING IN FLORIDA
Fishermen Find Amusement IN Test
ing Helative Speed Of Their
Strange mounts"

In Florida the turtle fishermen
occasionally have races with turtles
as their steeds. A couple Of logger
head turtles, weighing each several
hundred pounds, are generally select
ed. Wearing bathing costumes, the
contestants mount their steeds,
which which are being held by
friends. Grasping e front part Of
the animals upper shell with both.
hands, the contestants then give the
signal to let 60.
As soon as released the turtle
makes for the water. Ordinarily the
animal would at once 90 TO the bot
tom; but the rider prevents this by
throwing his weight ON the back part
of the shell and at the same time
pulling the forward part up with his
hands, which keeps the animals head
above the surface. it is easy to
guide the animal, as it can be forced
either to the right or left simply by
pulling at the shell ~ each side Of
the head.
In some Of these contests the tur-
ties cover several miles and do it in
remarkably fast time. The animals
T generally guided parallel to the
beach, which allows spectators to fol-
low the race to the end.-Sunday
