Bond of Avant Not Given.

w. B. Avant, who was convicted
several months ago in Georgetown
on the charge of killing Mrs. Ruth
Crisp Bigham, is still at the peniten-
tiary. An attempt is being made to
secure the necessary bond of $4,000
before he can be relased. The su-
preme court recently, as a result of
habeas corpus proceedings, signed
an order for the release of Avant from
the penitentiary provided he. could
furnish bond in the sum Of $4,000
lending an appeal to the supreme
court.
Avant was convicted, together with
DIR. Bigham, whose whereabouts has
never been learned. After the con-
yiction the attorneys for the two
men asked for a new trial which was
refused by Judge Watts. Intention OF
appealing to the supreme court was
given, but no papers were ever filed.
Ayant was brought to the peniten-
tiary, but just before he was mus
tered in as a convict message was
received from the Georgetown county
sheriff, asking that he be held until
further instructions. No further in
structions were received and Avant
has since been in the State prison.

Jno. G.. Mobley Vindicated.

Jno. G. Mobley, president Of the
State fair, has been given practical
exoneration by committee appointed
to investigate charges made by A. W..
Love, ex-secretary. This committee
consisted of Lowndes ]. Browning,
Faul v. Moore and j. T. Kinard.
Mr.. Browning said last night:
Having investigated the charges
against Mr.. Mobley made by ex-Sec-
retary Love, we find that the allega-
tions are not sustained"
Mr.. Browning declared furthermore
that there has for some months been
a spirit of contention in the associa-
ton and the committee appeals for
all this to end and for all members
to work for the good of the South
Carolina Agricultural and Mechani-
cal society and the next State fair.
At the semi-annual meeting of the
members of the society, when Secre-
tary A. w. Loves resignation was re-
ceived, it was reported that his faith
er, Col. r. A. Love, had denounced
the members of the society, all but
two Of f,those present having voted to
ask for A. w. Loves resignation.
Col. R. A. Love writes that he did
not denounce all the members of the
society, but President Jno. G. Mobley
alone.
The committees report as to Pres
ident Mobley is claimed to be an en-
tire vindication, as it was regarded
that the charges of ex-Secretary
Love, if offered in good will to the
society, would have been presented
before this time.-Columbia State.

ROUGHLY USED BY ROBBERS.
Grain Elevator Engineer Has Har.
rowing Experience.

Hagerstown, Md, Feb. 14.-Rob-
bed and beaten by three masked men,
bound hand and foot and his head
thrust into blazing furnace, from
which he was withdrawn only be-
cause the door was not large enough
to admit his shoulders, and then
placed on the fly wheel of an engine,
which was afterwards started, but
from which he fortunately fell at the
first revolution, John G. Neibert is
in a pitiable and serious condition,
though it is believed that he will re-
cover from his terrible experience.
Neibert, who is engineer of a grain
elevator here, went to the engine
room early this morning as usual
and started the fire. Shortly there,
after, three men, believed to be ne
groes, entered the room and attacked
him. He is a powerful man, and
for time kept the trio at bay, but
was finally overpowered, and $40, all
the money he had with him, was
taken. His assai1ants then attempt.
ed to hide their crime by cremating
lim. Only his head could be forced
through the furnace door, however,
and this attempt was abandoned.
The robbers then placed the body
of the unconscious engineer between
the spokes of the fly wheel and set
the engine in motion, evidently be-
lieving that Neibert would be torn
to pieces. But at the first revolution
of the big wheel, the engineer slipped
to the floor where he was found, still
unconscious, some time later. There
is no clue to the identity Of the rob
bers.

This is the best financial showing
that the institution has ever made.
Of this amount we have authorized
the superintendent to deposit with
the State Treasurer $4,000 to go in
the general funds of the State. The
balance will be retained to meet the
current expenses of the institution
and to make permanent improve
ments, which we believe are neces-
sary, and will result ultimately in in
creasing profit to the State.
The State Farms are we'll stocked
with live stock and have produced
an abundance Of corn, wheat, oats
and other food-stuffs to more than
supply their presnt needs. The
surplus will be furnished the main
Irison at Columbia and will be suf-
ficient for all needs. We commend
the work and management of the Re
formatory. It is an important ad-
junct to the main prison. The les
sors taught there, both spiritually
and industrially, should be of lasting
benefit to the boys committed to it's
care.
The Rev. J. C. Abney, the beloved
chaplain Of the prison, is ever faith
full in his work and administers well
to the spiritual and moral welfare
of the inmates.
The death rate for the year has
heen less than it has ever been. The
hospital department is watched over
by DR.. F. w. P. Butler, the physician
and surgeon in charge, who devotes
all of his time to the sick, and the
low death rate and fine sanitary con-
dition of all the wards are contribut-
able to his ever-watchful eye and his
painstaking care of those committed
to his charge.
In conclusion, we beg to extend
our grateful thanks to all the officers
and employees of the institution,
from the superintendent down, for
the splendid services they have rem
dered and for their faithfulness to
duty. We also thank your Excellency
for your interest in the welfare OF
the prison.

mitted to the General Assembly
through Governor Ansel:
To His Excellency, Martin F. An
sci, Governor-Sir: We have the
honor of submitting herewith our
annual report for the year ending
December 81, 1909:
The prison is still being run en-
business principles, and we cannot
too highly endorse the administration
Of Superintendent D. J. Griffith. IN
common with the rest Of the State,
the institution has had year of
prosperity. Every department Of the
main prison is in excellent condition;
the Reformatory is doing a good work
for the juvenile criminals, and we
are glad to say is more than self-sus-
tanning; the fertility of the State
Farms is being increased every year
and the crops grown during the past
year have been satisfactory in every
particular.

how 10 defeat Bede one day at 8
o'clock an idea came He made a
deal with one c. B. Miller to oppose
Bede and the fight was on.
Bede started TO make a few speeches
in a remote corner of his district. and
Barker sent a stenographer down with
Instructions to take down an Bede's
funny stories. Then when the night
grew warmer Barker billed his friend
Miller just one day ahead of Bede in
each town. When Bede arrived and
began to tell his jokes the crowd would
act bored. for they had heard the same
stories the night before. Bede dug
up some new ones. but Barker had ar
ranged that they should be wired ahead
TO Miller.
After about week of this Bede
became a fallen idol. They refused
to vote for man who appeared to be
trailing along about one block in the
rear of the joke parade.
