WON'T PARDON JONES.
This is Governor Blease's Present At
6tude.

The Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier says another
petition for pardon of John ]. Jones,
Of Orangeburg County, who was SEN
fenced to ten years and one month
for the killing Of Abe Pearlstine, at
Branchville, was nipped in the bud
by the announcement from Governor
Blease that he isn't going to pardon
Jones. What may come up later can
not be told at this time, but at pres
ent Governor Blease will not act fay-
orably in the matter He refused
petition for the pardon Of Jones a
few days ago. This petition came
from Edgefeld.
The forerunner Of second petit
ton from Orangeburg was the pres
ence in the city of two Of counsel In
terested in the case. Governor Blease
was not in the Office when the Gov
ernor was approached on the subject
of whether or not he would reopen
the case, he said that he would be
glad to hear counsel, but he has de-
cided not to pardon. No steps have
been taken to further the petition
from Crangeburg.
The presence of counsel here led
The News and Courier correspondent
to ask Governor Blease this afternoon
about the John Jones case, and Gov
ernor Blease stated the circumstances
and said that he would not at this
time extend Executive clemeney for
the same reason as moved him to re-
fuse the petition that came from
Edgefeld. No papers were filed from
Orangeburg. A petition may later
be presented for the pardon of Jones,
but it can be authoritatively stated
that Governor Blease will not now,
if ever, pardon John ]. Jones.

GAIN THIS YEAR.
MORE MONEY THIS SEASO% FOR
CLEMSON COLLEGE.
Fertilizers Tag Tax Receipts Much
Many New Uses for

For 1911 the total income Of Clem-
son College will be considerably iare-
er than in any previous year, and the
prospect is that this income will
steadily increase, at the rate Of $685.
900 or more per annum, being de-
rived from the privilege tax Of %
cents ton upon artificial fertilizers,
the consumption Of which is greater
each succeeding season. The entire
receipts from this tax go to Clemson.
The Columbia Record says Judge
J. Fuller Lyon, who handles the priv
ilege tax account in the Office Of State
Treasurer R. H. Jennings, said Fri
day that to date the 1911 receipts
from this impost had been $227,22s,
whereas at this same time last yeal
the receipts totalled only s202.4l6.
In Judge Lyons opinion the receipts
for the current year will aggregate
s275, 900, as against only s240,o9s
for 1910, so that the increase in this
one season will in round numbers be
$4,000.
Fertilizers are now in demand the
year round. Formerly they were used
only in the spring. Fertilizers are
put nowadays to variety OF uses net
hitherto known. Quantities are ap-
piled to growing crops. The con-
has been surprisingly IN
creased by the corn-growing move
ment and new uses are constantly be-
ing found in various fields Of agricu1-
tural work for the different kinds OF
artificial manures. An entirely new
kind of fertilizer-or rather famlt-
lar kind produced by a new process
will come on the market when the
Southern Power company's big plant
at Great Falls begins turning out nj
trogenous fertilizers, derived from
the air by electrical treatment.
