month This Of course refers to the
State Medical association which meets
here In anual session April 1921. The
delegates to the convention come from
every town and section Of the state.
AS guests Of the city they will be hand
somely entertained In preparing for
their reception however, The Adver-
tiser would like to suggest that it is
not too early to begin campaign of
cleaning up all public and private
premises repairing and painting fenc-

ed; in short putting everything in or
der for the occasion, from civic

"SPOILING A GOOD RECORD,

Under the above caption, Editor
loyt Of the Columbia Record, utters
he only criticism, so far noted, of the
lction of Gov. Ansel in granting a
pardon to Fannie Carson, the Spartan
burg woman who was sent up for life
for completely in the murder of her
husband fifteen years ago. Says the
Record:
If there has been in recent years a
governor with a softer heart than ID.
=. Heyward possessed, that governor
was NJ. B. McSweeney. When peti-
tion for pardon was refused by both
McSweeney end Hayward. it is safe
TO say that few valid reasons for
elemency could be advanced.
Gov. Ansel has been by kindly news
papers given the reputation of refus
ing pardons Wholesale. This reputa-
tton is more or less deserved Yet
one of his first pardons was granted
to the young DR.. Lee, who killed his
own father in a drunken debauch. 1t
was represented that DIR. Lee had,
turing his imprisonment, been cured
ot the liquor habit and we believe IT
was on this account chiefly the pardon
""o 5idHleu' w ltnln rev months
after his release from prison. Lee died
rom the effects of dissipation.
Now Gov. Ansel grants a pardon to
Mrs. Fannie Carson, who was a party
% the assassination OF her own hus-
band by her lover. While the hus-
band slept, taking her child out of the
bed so that it would not be awakened
by the blow of the AK, this woman
assisted in the brutal murder of the
man whom she had sworn to love and
honor.
When the pardon record of Gov.
Ansel is critically examined, his ac-
tion is the cases of DR. Lee and Mrs.
Carson will offset all the refusals of
minor cases with which he is cred
tied, and in which strong personal and
political influence. such as was exer-
cised in these cases. was not brought
to bear
Possibly so; but we believe ninety
per cent. of the people of the state who
are familiar with the Carson case en-
dorse Gov. Ansels action i'm granting
a pardon to the Spartanburg woman.

root and foundation of our social life
In the good old prehistoric days men
laid down their flint clubs and induIg-

the way some acquaintance escaped
from. or was gulped up by, the sporty

they found this comment upon the
fortunes or misfortunes of others so
