PARDONs ACTED ON FRIDAY.
Negro Paroled After Serving Eleven
Years of Life Sentence.

Eugene Hogan, Jr.S> S>of Sumter, has
been paroled by Gov. Blease. He was
convicted on the charge of assault
and battery with intent to kill in
1906 and was sentenced to five years.
The alleged assault was upon D. G.
Zeigler, formerly of Columbia. The
governor takes the position that this
was the first time that the boy had
been convicted and that he should
be free. It was also stated by him
that Zeigler had written a letter to-
the father of young Hogan stating
that he would consent to a pardon
for money consideration. The pa
role is during good behavior.
The governor has paroled Richard
Neill, negro sometimes known as
Amos Dawkins, who was convicted in
Richland county on the charge of
burglary and attempt to rape and
sentenced to life Imprisonment. The
negro was convicted in 1900 and has
served II years of his sentence.
At the trial it was claimed by the
boy that he was helped to get through
an open window of a Columbia resi-
dence to get some bottles from under.
a bed. He claimed that while in the
act Of getting the the bottles he was
seized and charged with attempt to
ravish. The parole was granted
during good behavior. It was stated
in the petition that the negro was Is
years of age at the time of convic-
ton.
The governor refused to extend
clemency in the following cases: Boss
Cook, serving a sentence of 10 years
from Hampton county on the charge
of manslaughter, having been con-
victed in 1906; Tom Rogers serving
sentence of seven years from Aiken
county on the charge of manslaugh-
ter, having been convicted in 1909;
Joe Chandler, serving a sentence of
five years from Williamsburg coun-
" on the charge of assault and bat
terry of high and aggravated ma
ture, having been convicted last
year; Silas Small, serving a sentence
of five years from Fairfield county
for manslaughter; Eugene Bray and
Floyd Blalock, serving sentences Of
one year from Barnwell county for
larceny, and Frank Cunningham,
serving sentence of 5 months from
Greenwood county for car-breaking.

YOUNG AUGUSTA PAIR MARRIED.
Groom Taken Back to Jail After the
Ceremony.

Columbia, April 22.-The youthful
Augusta pair, Miss Lillian Reed and
R. NJ. Watson, who have both been in
the Richland county Jail since Tues
day, were married yesterday morn
ing by Magistrate Fowles. The girls
parents asked him to perform the
ceremony which made the 13-year-
old girl and the 17-year-old youth,
man and wife. The groom was sent
back to Jail on the charge Of issuing
bad checks, just after the marriage.
Miss Reed and Watson came to
Columbia the latter part of last
week. They were arrested at the, re-
quest of the girls father. Watson
was charged with abducting minor
At the preliminary hearing before
Magistrate Fowles, the girl refused
to testify against Watson and declar-
ed that she would not appear in
court. She was accordingly held in
default of bond as material witness
in the case.
The girls father came to Colum-
bia to the preliminary hearing. The
girls mother arrived yesterday
morning and, after seeing her daugh-
ter, got Magistrate Fowles to con-
sent to marry the girl and Watson.
After the marriage ceremony
Watson was sent back to jail on
warrant charging him with issuing
checks on a bank when he had nc
funds on deposit. Mrs. Watson and
her mother left for Augusta yester-
day afternoon.

Falls Into Well at Fathers Funeral.

Greenville, April ia peculiar
accident happened during the funeral
services at the grave of Stephen
Brown, a well known old negro man,
who was buried at colored grave
yard near the city yesterday after
noon.
1t was while the people were as
sembling around the open grave, and
while the minister was performing
the last rites, that a daughter of the
dead man, while standing near the
edge of the grave, without any warn
ing swooned or tainted and reeled
over head foremost into the open
grave.
CONSERVATION prevailed at once
among the bystanders and many of
them left in haste without telling any
one good bye. Others with more
presence of mind at once took steps
to rescue the unfortunate woman
from her awkward position and lift
ed her out of the grave and it was
found that she was only badly bruis-
ed. A physician was called after the
woman was carried back to her
home.

YOUTH MUST BE PUNISHED.
Father Of Girl Not Willing for Him
to Marry as Compromise.

Mr.. C. C. Reed, father of Miss Lii
lian Reed, the young lady truant
from Augusta, returned home
Wednesday night. He left his daugh-
ter in the county jail, where she was
placed by Magistrate Fowles as a
material witness in the case against
her sweetheart, R. H. Watson, who
was committed to Jail to await trial
on the charge of taking from her
home a minor without the consent
of her parents. Miss Reed defiantly
told the magistrate that she would
not appear as witness against Wat
son, and she was thereupon held by
the authorities.
Mr.. Reed in discussing the affair
stated that he had deprived himself
of necessities in order to make the
girls homelife attractive, but that his
efforts had been unsuccessful. She
replied rather sharply that "You can
take me home, but I'll never stay
there"
Watson offered to marry the girl,
but to this proposal Mr.. Reed would
not consent, stating that the young
man was without means to support a
wife. Mr.. Reed seemed determined
to carry the case to higher court in
order to have Watson punished for
inducing the girl to leave home.
On the other side of the case there
is another story, Watson told &C
quaintances that the girl followed
him to Columbia and that her per-
sistent attentions to him had caused
him to lose his position in Augusta.
He was a soda water dispenser at a
drug store there until last week,
when he came to Columbia.
Watson and the girl are in cells
remote from each other. There is
no chance for billing and cooling or
a whispering of sweet nothings.
The officer who doubtless had an
eye for the romantic allowed the
parting pair a chance for a sly kiss
before they were separated.-Colum-
bia Record, April 21.

Do Ghosts Haunt Swamps?

No, never. It's foolish to fear a
fancied evil, when there are real and
deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous, and
lowlands. These are the malaria
germs that cause ague, chills and fe-
yer, weakness, aches in the bones
and muscles and may induce deadly
typhoid. But Electric Bitters de-
stroys and casts out these vicious
germs from the blood. "Three bot
ties drove all the malaria from my

cana, N. c., "and I have had fine
health ever SINCE" Use this safe,

''Dear Friend and Brother:
81 received your kind letter few
weeks ago, and am grateful to you
for remembering me. I was glad to
hear of your little grandchildren and
send every good wish to the young
mother and the sweet little babies,
for have learned what love for lit
tie children means. I hope the little
boy will make as good and Christ
loving a man as his grandfather.
81 was almost out of heart when
your letter came. I had been placed
in double shackles by day and an
extra cuff was put on my leg at
night. It was almost more than 1
could bear. I suffered so that l al
most lost faith in God. But / called
to mind what you had taught me, OF
how we should be willing to suffer
for Jesus sake, and above all how
We should bear our punishment
meekly. I prayed for strength. The
very next day they left one OF the
chains off me, and now I am shack
led with only one chain.
81 hope some day to see you again,
On earth, and if not, feel sure that
we will meet in heaven.
'sI remain your brother and friend.

was thinking of some one she had
left at the seashore or some one else
she was to meet in the mountains.
Or. maybe, she was just planning how
she would make that dear little mus
lin frock.
You never can tell just what a
girl is thinking about-by looking
at her face.
THANK you!" she said to the lady
clerk, and picking up the little linen
parasol from the disarranged mass
of boxes and stockings, she went
"trip-pi-ti-tip" out of the store, while
everybody admired the neat little
figure.
So absorbed was she in her think
ing that it never occurred to her to
raise her parasol until she was a
whole block up the street-just in
front of the main hotel of the city,
where all the drummers lounged in
front and smoked their cigars-and
then she hurriedly gave the fluffy
bunch of white linen a shake and
puff" it went and she went
"trip-pi-ti-tip" on down the street,
conscious from the corners of her
shadowy blue eyes, of many glances,
but she was accustomed to admira-
tion-and was pleased rather than
otherwise concerned.
Something Cool to Drink.
Goodness, how hot!" Just in front
of a soda fountain, she decided to go
in and quench her dry little throat
with something cool and liquid.
At the broad and attractive en-
trance she stopped and reached up a
bare sunburned hand to snap the
white parasol to.
The two men at the fountain star
ed!
Some other lady shoppers, at a
table, gasped, and one of them be-
same painfully strangled on the lime
ade of which she was partaking!
The boy who takes the orders fell
sprawling on the door, spilling a
bunch of straws.
What Caused the Commotion.
Miss Vacation looked hurt and sur
prised-as was natural that she
should.
All this time the little linen par
asol was being closed-which was
really only an instant of time.
But when it finally was closed
Miss Vacation looked down at its or
derly folded breadths-and almost
tainted!
Then she looked up at her tormen-
tors, blushed-and turned rosy-red.
Everybody looked suddenly very
sorry for her. She, herself, was ready
now to weep.
For-why?
Just for the simple reason that
there-hanging to one of the points
of her little white linen parasol-
where it had caught when she laid
it across the counter-was a long
white silk stocking! E. J.
