THE SULTAN KEPT HIS WORD.
After the French Ambassador Was
His Guest He Sent the Gift He Had
Promised.

The Threshold Of the harem has
occasionally been crossed clandestine-
ly, yet save those in rare cases where
Turkish family, having adopted the
conventions of the Europeans. admits
Its intimate friends. no stranger has
openly and officially been permitted to
visit the gynecaeum of the Turk. Tile
one exception to this iron-clad rule
strange to say, occurred in the palace
o. sultan.
1T was in the year 1907, when the
British government, attempting to
coerce the Sublime Porte into a coali.
tion against Napoleon, ordered the
the Sultan Selim III, to surrender his
fleet. This Selim refused to do, and
the English fleet sailed through the
Dardanelles into the propontis Mean
while, General Sebastiani, the Frencl,
ambassador, assisted the Sultan in or
ganizing the defense Of Constantine
pie, and did it so admirably that the
British fleet retired without firing a
shot. Accordingly. the Padishah told
him to choose his reward. The gem
eral, a through Frenchman, asked
permission to visit his Majesty's har-
EN-.
Selim. bound by his word, granted
this unprecedented favor, and invited
him to witness the review of the sui
tanas. AS the latter, the most beau
itful women of the East, with blush
ing cheeks and modest eyes, passed
one BIB one before them, the Sultan
said, who ever Of them all you find
fairest Is yours Sebastiani, delight
ed, indicated one Of the imperial
odalisques. a Georgian of.divine beau
~, with deep black eyes.
The next morning a procession OF
black slaves appeared at the embassy,
bringing with them magnificent cas-
ket. Raising. the lid thereof, Sbas-
tiani beheld. lying upon the purple
cushion, the head Of the beautiful girl
he had chosen. BY its side lay q let
ter from the Khalifa, which read as
follows:
Though our law forbids that a wo-
man of Islam be given to a Christian,
yet thou shalt have at least the con-
ISOLATION that none other shall possess
her whom thou hast preferred"

not been hoed out this year and In
some places the grass is about 10 or

chance for II to make anything but a
hay crop. Cotton is also dying badly
with blight or wilt. IL IL keeps on we

GOVERNOR PAROLES PRISONER
Case of Bert Stokes Interesting Tn
Many Ways.

Greenville, June 20.-Governor An
sci today paroled Bert Stokes, whose
case is an interesting one from many
points of view. Stokes was arrested
In 1902 for transporting liquor during
ire night time and was bound over
10 appear for trial on the charge az
the regular June term of Court.
During May a special term of
CONT was held in the city by Special
Judge j. P. Carey. The case of Stok IS
was called. bu1 Stokes was not pres
ent, and, in his absence. he was tried
ard a sealed verdict left for him when
he was captured.
AT the June term of Court. Stokes
appeared for trial and the solicitor
verbally agreed to give him new
trial and to mol pros the case. upon
the grounds that the facts did not
warrant conviction according To the
law as given by the Supreme Court.
No order was taken, however, ard
the sealed verdict remained in the
clerk of the Courts office, where #
was found by the present clerk. MIR.
Cureton. Later Stokes was seen on
the streets by the sheriff. who roeou-
nszed him, and, remembering thar he
held a sealed verdict against him. he
arrested Stokes and placed him in
Jail.
The sealed verdict was then opened
with the consent of Stokes and # was
found that there was a sentence over
him for three months or a fine Of
$1OO.
Stokes was then sent to Jail for his
sentence, but, he made an appeal for
a pardon. His pardon was accom-
panied by certificate from former
solicitor julius E. Boggs, and recon-
mended by Solicitor Proctor Bonham.
The action of the governor this
morning in paroling Bert Stokes fol-
lowed. He was sent to Jail about
thirty days ago and has remained
there since that date.
