Dispenses With Pardon Board.

Gov. Blease has decided to dis
pense with. the State board of par
dons. He, as the governor of South
Carolina, will act independently on
all petitions for pardon, commuta-
tion or parole presented to him.
Gov. Blease said yesterday that he
would refuse to refer any case to the
board for review. There were ru-
mors to the effect that Gov. Blease
would dismiss several of the members
of the board. When asked as to the
status of the case, he replied: "Well,
1 have recalled the papers in their
hands, and I will not refer any more
cases to them"
The members of the State board of
pardons are: R. Mays Cleveland,
chairman, Greenville; w. A. Clarke,
Columbia, secretary; and c. A. Saw
age, Walterboro.
The law requires that the board of
pardons meet four times each year
for the purpose of reviewing cases
that might be desired by the governor
of the State. 1t is not required that
the governor of the State send cases
to the board for review. The matter
is left by the law in his discretion.
AS provided by law, the members
of the pardon board receive 81 per
day while actually at work and mile
age.
Under the law the board will be re-
quired to meet and can only report
to the governor that they have met
and adjourned. Just whether this
will be enough work to insure the
dlawing one days pay is question
that will have to be decided.
Several weeks ago Gov. Blease ad-
dressed a letter to Secretary w. A.
Clark asking that he return all petit
tions for pardons. The papers were
returned.

ANSWER TO GOV. BLEASE.
Dispensary Commission Awaits a
Statement from Fielder.

Columbia, Feb. 25.-Gov. Blease
has not yet been handed the dispen-
sary commissions reply to his de-
mand by letter for information con-
cerning the agreement under which
Messrs. Anderson, Fielder, Rountree
& Wilson, of Atlanta, were engaged
to aid in the winding up of the State
dispensary, and concerning other
matters, but the substance of the let
ter has been agreed on and the actual
drafting of the communication in its
final form is held up only in order
that a statement hourly expected
from Mr.. T. B. Fielder, of the Atlanta
law firm, may be incorporated in It.
The commission takes the position
that the governor is entitled to all
the information he has requested
and it will be furnished him in spite
of the fact that the governor now has
before him for approval an act to in
vestigate the whole official course OF
the commission. Necessarily the let
ter will be one of considerable
length, perhaps seven or eight typed
pages.
The text of the message will not
be furnished to the press, by the
commission on the ground that as a
matter of propriety this should be
done, if done at all, by the addressee.
Whether Gov. Blease will see tlt to
make the letter public remains to
be seen.

BLEAsE RECONSIDERS.
Will Use Wliskey Constables to En-.
force the Labor Law.

Although Gov Blease has previ-
ously announced on several occasions
his disapproval of the factory inspec-
tion law and although he vetoed the
appropriation for the two factory
inspectors he has now changed his
position and says that the factory in
spection law will be enforced out of
the fund of $4,000 at his disposal
for the enforcement of the law. He
takes this action following the de-
nunciation of his veto of the factory
inspection appropriation by the City
Federation of Trades. He said that
his whiskey constables would enforce
the factory inspection law.
1T doesn't follow because I have
vetoed any appropriation for the SAL
aries of Watson's factory inspectors,
that I intend the factory inspection
law to go unenforccd," said Gov.
Blease. Il have fund of $4,000 for
law enforcement, and I mean to work
for the enforcement of all the laws,
including those relating to labor.
Hours of Labor.
"Out of my $1,000 appropriation
I propose to see that the work here
tofore done by Col. Watson's fac
tory inspectors is done by men COM
missioned by myself. l shall look
after the enforcement of the regu-
lation relative to hours of labor in
stores"
He declared that he had no idea of
replying to the resolution adopted
by the City Federation of Trades.
Nothing that walking delegate
may say" said Gov. Blease "can con-
vince the factory people that l ain
not their friend. They know that
I am their friend. l have always
been their friend"
The factory inspection law says
the commissioner of agriculture may
employ two factory inspectors.

Rode Negro Down.

The party in twos came upon the
fleeing negro and forcing him into
the open Sheriff White rode him
down. His injured arm was paining
him so greatly the sheriff was dis
posed to avoid an encounter with the
negro and as there were none of his
deputies in hailing distance he put
his horse at the negro. The horse
tramped the negro down before off
GERS came to the sheriff's aid.

The nuSDdnd was home within 2U
minutes after the crime had been
committed. He telephoned to Sheriff
White, who. within five minutes,
was mounted on his horse, Bucking
Dan, and galloping to the scene. The
sheriff went by the police station to
summon more officers. AS he was
turning the corner sharply his horse
slipped and fell fiat, throwing the
sheriff violently to the paved street.
The whole weight of the fall came
upon his left elbow and the arm was
numb and practically useless for sew
eral hours.
The sheriff at the head of a posse
of deputies ran into the wood beyond
the Duncan place, while the police in
automobiles hurried toward Cedar
Springs.

A Race with a Tiger.

NJ. Rosny, French writer, traveller
and sportsman, once enjoyed a race
with a tiger. 1t was in the Malay
Peninsula that M. Rosny had this ad-
venture. When, one morning, he
caught sight of bicycle standing IN
a plantation shed he could not re-
sist the temptation of taking a ride,
in view of the fact that he had not
had a spin on a wheel since leaving
France. He rode for about six miles
through the rice and coffe fields, and
then found himself in the heart Of a
forest. AS he was enjoying the beau
ty of the place there came to his ears
the sound of crunching branches, and
he very soon realized that something
massive but light footed was ap-
preaching. Thirty yards from where
he was a tiger had emerged from the
jungle. At the time of the beasts
appearance Rosny was dismounted
and seated on the ground.
He dared not move finger. To
reach his wheel he must get to the
road. This was impossible without
attracting the attention of the beast,
and in two leaps the tiger would be
upon the Frenchman.
With great nonchalance the tiger
at length turned toward the depths
of the forest. Then, unable to en-
dure this situation longer, Rosny
clambered to his feet, scampered over
the intervening obstacles, caught the
bicycle, and ran alongside, his hands
on the handle-bars.
In fash, as he was mounting, he
caught sight of the big tiger crouch
ing for a spring. He heald d the beast
at the first bound land not far behind
him. In the brief space between the
first and second bounds the French
man got himself well started and
balanced for the struggle.
His fourth bound brought the tiger
very near. The next time the
Frenchman felt the wind of his fall.
A second later his shoulder or paw
touched the tire and made the rider
swerve. Then Rosny lost one pedal,
then both. He regained them both,
but on account of the delay claw
once more grazed the rear tire.
At this instant the participants in
this terrible race came to a very mar
row bridge-two boards side by side
over an irrigation canal. The bicycle
went over it as true as an arrow. The
passage must have slightly retarded
the tiger, for, although the French
man dared not look round, he felt
the beast to be further off.
They were now between two fields
Of bananas. A small tree had been
cut and thrown into the road, so that
it completely barred the way. There
was nothing to do but to try to take
it at top speed. The Frenchman
pedaled, and, although nearly thrown
over by the shock of crossing the OBJ
stacle, he succeeded in recovering his
balance, and going on, on, until he
reached a smart decline, down which
he rolled like a cannon ball. At a
turning of the road the plantation
buildings came into view.
The Frenchman could not say when
the tiger abandoned the race. When
the rider shot into the group of his
friends his first instinct was to look
around in the expectation of finding
the beast at his heels, ready to slay
all.-Harper's Weekly.

HEADER IN
FARGO

Fargo, N. D., Oct. 25.-Fargo will
be blessed with a double-header foot
ball game Saturday. In addition to
the big game between Fargo college
and ST. Thomas at Athletic park, the
high school has scheduled a game with
the Wahpeton high school which will
be preliminary to the collegiate con-
test Saturday afternoon.
This Is probably the last time the
midgets will be een in action on the
home grounds. for they close the sea-
son with out-of-town games at Min
neapolis Nov. 1 and Grand Forks Nov.
IL. They have an open date Nov. IS.
Having been defeated by Enderlin.
Wahpeton Is out of the race for the
championship but her players are a
long way from the quitting stage
yet. They will go into the game with
a desperate determination to make a
good showing. The locals are conf
dent Of winning but do not intend
to be caught mapping. They will
spend most of this week in signal
practice and learning new plays, with
the intention of depending upon tricks
and speed to defeat Minneapolis and
Grand Forks
Coach Robinson has set about in
earnest to develop a second back
field. He intends to use 1t in the Sec
ond half of Saturdays game. 1t will
consist Of Healy quarterback; Mel
chior. left half: Hauser, right half:
and Dixon, fullback. Hauser and
Melchior made a fine showing last
night and stand a good chance Of get
ting into the Minneapolis and Grand
FORKS games.

Sicily. the veteran featherweight. who
retired from the ring in 1892 and has
recently been appointed an official re-
fierce by the state athletic commission,
has prepared 81 revision of the Queens

OF the more important sections of his
revised code are as follows:

ILLINOIS A
KICKS OVER GAME

Champaign. ILL.,. Oct 25.-The 1llini
r still dazed " the rout by the
Maroons. There was no work for the
players Tuesday and they will be
given a good rest this week before
practice is resumed for the next game
with Purdue Nov. 4.
The coaches will work hard to rally
the dispirited team and finish we'll.
The showing against Chicago proves
that the Illini will have their hands
full to beat Purdue, Northwestern or
Indiana.
Coaches and players have no excuse
to offer. declaring that the score does
not permit any attempt to explain.
The Hint have just one kick and that
is regarding the work of Referee Neil
Snow. Coach Hall for the first time
in his history demonstrated with UNI
pire Wrenn regarding the Maroon
formation for place kicks. Wrenn is
said to have admitted the Illegally,
but placed the responsibility on Snow.
The lllini. Of course, do not think that
another ruling would have made n
difference in the outcome.
Carter, the sophomore tackle, who
followed Syringe. showed more pep"
than most of the regulars and will
make a strong bid for a berth. There
may be several shakeups in the eleven
before the Purdue game.
Coach Lindgren will seek to bolster
up the line. which was so lamentably
weak Saturday.

1t will be seen from the foregoing
that Wells is a worthy opponent of
Champion Wolgast. and it is likely
that in a :en-round affair he will make
the Wolverine step lively to return
victorious on points. Wells will have
about ten pounds advantage over VOL
CAST. II that is likely tc count heav-
lily if the pair are we'll matched.
What Wells could do in a long bout
with the champion IS rroblematical,
as the Briton has never been thor
oughly tested out in a long fight with
a really rugged opponent.

team II he was offered large odds. but
turned about and offers to lay
as high as two TO one on the Giants
when he Is on the mound.
One Of these bets was made with
George Mullin. the pitcher of the De-
troit Tigers. Mullin tells Of the bet
in this manner: He went to the
Giants dressing room to converse with
Matty for a few seconds as they are
old friends. and during the course Of
conversation Mullin kidded big
Six" about the chances Of the Giants
in the series.
We'll how do you want to bet it,"
asked Mullin.
"1ll give you reasonable Odds" an
swered Matty.
"1f you will lay me rs to IL, I'll give
you a bet. said Mullin, with no
thought that Matty would accept.
Mullin said that he would have been
willing to bet even money against Mat
ty and that he was dumfoundcd when
Matty accepted the proposition.
According to Mullin. Matty inform.
ed him hat he had won a bunch of
money on his victory e Bender and
that he was betting heavily on each
game he twirled. Matty admitted that
he had no bets down on the Giants
chances in the series.

COoMBS EQUALLED
MATHIS RECORD

Philadelphia. Oct. 25.-Mathew-
sons record Of four straight wins in a
worlds series will be shattered, 1t is
believed, by Jack Coombs. a member
of the pitching staff of the Macks.
Coombs has already equaled Mathew
sons performance. He has won four
games without a defeat. His fourth
victory, 1t is recalled. was over the
great Mathewsor last Tuesday in
eleven innings by q score of 8 to 2.
1t Is altogether likely that Manager
Mack will send Coombs in against the
Giants again to give him a chance to
tie up the present series and at the
same time beat Mathewson's old rec
ord. Coombs won his other three
games from the Chicago Cubs" last
year.

GAME OF HOCKEY

Montreal. Oct. 25.-The game of
hockey is likely to undergo an almost
revolutionary change this winter as a
result of the action of the National
Hockey association of Canada in re-
ducing the number of players on a
team from sever to six.
The new rule. approved by the leg
islative committee of the association.
will be finally adopted at the annual
meeting three weeks hence.
The player to be eliminated is the
rover. 1t is considered that this will
make the game much faster and will
also tend to make it more open. but
followers of the sport here are not Of
one mind on the radical change.
Another new rule. which will ham
per the arrangements of international
matches, forbids clubs hat are menu
bers of the national association from
arranging directly with those from tho
United States. In the future the man
agement of clubs in the United states
will have to approach 7. Emmett
Quinn. president of the National
Hockey association of Canada. and he
will do the arranging.

MATTY A HAS
A NORMAL CRANIUM

From the various articles which he
has written for newspapers Of the
country. Christy M~athewson. once
nailed as the greatest pitcher Of the
major league, has been suffering from
an abnormal pressure Of the hat band,
the disease being adduced by the con-
stantly increasing size Of his Uranium.
After being batted out of the box in
Tuesdays game. it seems altogether
likely that the big Six is now able
to wear a ready-made hat again. The
following is a sample Of his egotism
from n of the eastern papers,:
Matty wagered heavily on the re-
suits of the games. but the bets Of
Matty were rot on the ability of the
Giants to win the series. but on his
W ability to beat the Mackmen.
That Matty has not any too much
confidence in the ability of his team
TO win the series is shown clearly by
way he placed his bets. Matty Is
said to bave been willing to bet on the
