FIRE CHIEF MACE MORRIS
MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT

Fire Chief Mace Morris is on
clutches as the result of an accident
which happened while he was on a
fishing trip at Bull Sluice last Thurs
day.
Mr.. Morris was swimming and
started to climb into a motor boat. In
reaching for a rest for one Of his feet
under the boat, he got too near the
propeller just as the motor was
started, and the brass blades cut his
right foot very badly.
Mr.. Morris came to the city. and DR..
Nolan dressed the wound, which still
gives the fire chief a great deal of
pain. If the propeller had been going
at full speed, Mr.. Morris foot would
have been injured more serj ", and
possibly might have been ca, off.

TO Be BURIED HERE
Remains of John Hames to
Be Brought to Marietta
For Interment

Mr.. w j. M. Hames and Messrs. d.
G. Hames, Arthur Hames and Jim
Hames will leave this week for Muir
ray county on fishing trip, and while
there will have prepared for shipment
to Marietta the dust of their Revolu-
tionary ancestor, John Hames. who
was buried at Sardis, in Murray
county, in 1860, and who was known
prior to his death as the Oldest man
in the United States. The census
records gave his age at the time of his
death as 121 years, though it is said
he was really 131. His wife was a
sister of Sergeant Jasper, of Revolu-
tionary fame.
John Hames was the great-great-
grandfather of Messrs. William and D.
c, Hames, and they wish to have his
dust repose in the National Cemetery
at Marietta. Arrangements to that
end have been made with the govern
ment, and Mrs. John M. Graham and
other ladies have selected the spot for
the burial. The grave of John Hames
was found by Messrs. Hames on their
hshlng trip to Murray county last
summer. After more than fifty years
the earth will give up nothing but the
dust OF the old soldier, but it will be
brought to Marietta within the next
few day and placed temporarily in the
undertaking establishment of Mr.. w.
j. Black, to await the interment in
the National Cemetery.

They found him the coolest man in

who regarded the gallows as the gate

Withrow said he had sent for the

seemed almost uncanny in a man
about to be hanged.
From the jail to the scaffold, which
had been erected nearly a mile away.
Withrow was escorted under guard,
waving his hands to persons whom he
recognized and smiling as he passed
along. He was smoking a cigar which
Judge Norris had given him.
On the scaffold he had several pic
lures taken by Mr., Wilson, proprietor
of the Blue Ridge Inn, one with the
rope around his neck, another with
the black cap adjusted, etc. These he
asked Mr.. Wilson to send to his
mother, with other souvenirs of the
hanging, including piece of the rope.
He gave no reason for the strange re-
quest.
Withrow asked for the father OF the
murdered woman and, after a little
while, he was found and brought to
his son-inIaw, who asked pardon for
the murder of the daughter, saying
they were soon to meet in heaven.
The old man hung his head, hesitated
and finally said that if Withrow truly
repented for the crime he would for
give him.
With smile on his face, Withrow
stepped upon the trap and said to the
sheriff:

Negro Collapses When He Is Sen

The Charleston Post says when
Judge Gary pronounced life SEN
tence upon Simon Green, the negro
who shot and killed Roy Maultsby
near Burton's lumber mills. Green
tainted dead away in TIE court
room, causing sensation among the
spectators, especially among those
of African ancestry. Green is the
third negro who has received a life
sentence this term of court for slay-
ing a fellow being. His counsel,
Attorney Tobias, contemplated max
ing motion for new trial, but
abandoned it, and today Green was
brought into the court room to be
sentenced for life, as he had been
found guilty of murder with recon-
mendation to mercy. He stood up to
receive his sentence in the prison
er's dock, and when Judge GaTy fin
ished speaking the words that meant
a life term for him, Green fell for
ward to the floor Of the court room,
upon his face, and lay motiorless.

SERVED THEM JUST RIGHT.
Two Washers in Atlanta Got What
They Deserved.

Two would-be mashers in Atlanta,
Alonzo Drake and Arthur Hammer,
had their fa.es beaten into pulp
by the husky brother Of young
shop-girl whom they had followe:;
home through the streets in the hope
of starting a filtration. The two
boys dogged the girls footsteps for
several blocks, trying to engage her
in a conversation, and went to the
very gate of her house.
She told her brother, a member OF
the local fire department, who hap
pened to be at home, and he immedi-
ately rushed out, took the fellows,
one by one, before they realized what
was happening, and administered to
each a severe drubbing. By a strange
coincidence the boys went in to a
nearby engine house to wash the
blood from their faces.
The sympathetic flremen asked
them how they had been hurt, and
they said: I'm a railroad wreck. y
About that time the brother of the
girl followed them in, told the true
story, and they were held there until
the police arrived when they were
sent to the station house.

Spartanburg Flend Identified as an
Old Offender.

Gary Gist, the negro fend who on
Saturday afternoon attempted crlm-
inal assault upon the person or a
we'll known and prominent white wo-
man of Spartanburg, has been iden-
tilted as the same negro who fright
ened young woman at her home
on South Dean street, in that city,
several months ago. 1t will be re-
membered that negro knocked at
the home of this young lady and
when she answered the call he
grabbed her and she in tearing her
self away from the brute sustained
slight injuries and had her shirt
waist torn from her body.
The negro at the time made his
escape and all efforts to capture him
proved fruitless. However, when he
was arrested for this second and more
serious offence, it was thought that
he may possibly be the same negro.
The young lady accompanied Capt.
Moss Hayes, of the police depart
ment, to the county Jail and was TAX
en- to the bars of a cell occupied by
two neg5oes. Asked if either OF
those was the negro who frightened
her, She promptly pointed to Glst

TERRIBLE SEA TRAGEDY.
Four Hundred People Perish When
the Ice Breaks.

According to the official report OF
the fishing disaster in the Gulf of
Finland, i've hundred persons were
engaged several miles of the shore
of Lavensart Island when on Febru-
ary 23. the ice beneath them broke
from the shore and drifted away, car
rying the fishermen with their fam
lilies, horses and outfits to sea. Their
cries for help were not heard at the
time, but late in the evening the
shore watchmen observed the Ice
foe and ice breakers were sent in
pursuit. A three-day search proved
futile. In the meantime the i1oe
broke into several parts, each bear
ing forty or fifty persons. In the
breakup many fell into the water
and perished. Two parties, totalling
12O persons, were subsequently driV-
en- ashore. No news of the remain
der has been received.

BLEASE SAVES BLACK
WILL FREE HIM FROM LAWS
PRISON PENALTY.
Commutes Sentence of Convicted
Dispensary Director to the Pay"
ment of $4,000 Fine.

Governor Blease commuted, Mon
day, the sentence of Major John
Black of Columbia, former director
of the State dispensary, to FIVE years
in the peniteatiary or a fine OF
$4,000. Major Black was tried at
Chester in the fall of 1910, on the
charge of conspiracy to defraud the
State, and upon conviction-the CO.
defendants, Jodie NJ. Rawlinson and
j. Lee solomons being acquitted
was sentenced to serve five years in
the penitenetiary. Governor Blease's
action of Monday effected the conf
mutation of this sentence by allow
ing the alternative of fine.
The Columbia Record says this
exercise of executive clemency In
Major Blacks behalf recalls Gov
ernor Blease's often-repeated decla-
ration on the stump, 81 stand by my
friends" and his statement in the
senate, when it was proposed to al
low the attorney general a special
fund for the prosecution Of dispen-
sary srafters, that John Black was
his friend and he intended standing
by him; "and If necessary l will go
to the penitentiary with him.
Acceptance Of Communication by Ma
ior Black terminates, automatically,
his pending appeal to the supreme
court. The law books say also that
acceptance of a pardon has the same
legal effect as a confession of guilt
OF. of the existence of state of facts
from which judgment of guilt would
follow"
The same authority says: "since
the acceptance Of a pardon admits
the recipients guilt, when a pardon
is accepted, pending an appeal, It's
acceptance operates as an admission
that tbe criminal was rightly con-
victed and therefore constitutes
ipso facto a waiver of exceptions taxi
en- at the trial" Pardon and conf
mutation are classed as of piece.
In this case the appeal had not
been perfected and thus the practice
outlined for dismissal of the appeal
need not be followed: $50 where a
pardon is granted, accepted and
brought to the attention of the court,
pending an appeal, the appeal will
be dismissed" "The criminal, y
says the law books, "catnot be
forced to accept a pardon"
