forbearance ceased to be a virtue,
when every man, from the mountain

war was declared against Spain for
The liberation Of Cuba the hour had
come, and the South, true to her his
tory, hallowed by the memory Of her

HANIRD GIVEN FIVE YEARS.
He Was Charged with Abusing Lady
Teacher for CoIlvcting His Child.

Pope B. favird WAS found guilty
on the charge OF assault and battery
Of Il high and aggravated nature in
General Sessions Court for Saluda
county last week and was sentenced
TO five years on the county chain
gang without any alternative of a
fine.
In passing sentence Judge Seasc
delivered such a lecture as has never
been heard in the court room at Sa-
luda. 1t was calmly done and the
impression made will be lasting.
Havird. who was convicted on the
charge Of trying to ride down and
OF Otherwise maltrcating Miss Carrie
Mitchell, young woman school
teacher Of his community some thirty
days ago because she had whipped
one OF his children in school, was told
that he might be sure that his sins
would sooner or later find him out,
and that the heavy hand OF the law
would arrest him in his wayward
career.
81 do not believe" said Judge
Sease, that all is good in any man
nor do | believe that all is bad in
any man. Many. however, succeed in
eXalting the good and suppressing the
bad. Some allow the bad to predom-
mate.
Influenced by Passion.
Continuing, Judge Sease said:
'"rhe testimony in this case shows
that you allowed your passion to be
aroused; that you took your shotgun
and your wife in a your buggy and en-
deaVored to ride down this young
lady because she had corrected one
Of your children in school. Other
matters which have come out in this
court room show that you have been
accustomed to try to take the law
into your own hands and wreak ven
geance upon those whom you thought
had wronged you. In passing SEN
tence shall have to pass one whose
punishment will be commensurate
with the charge. | cannot make the
sentence a light one. 1t must be
severe. You have had as fair and as
impartial a trial as could be given
any man. 1t is a notable fact that
out OF the 20-odd jurors sworn only
one said he had formed an opinion
of your guilt
Judge Sease stated that while he
would not suspend any part Of the
sentence the hope was held out to
HaVird that there would probably be
a chance for him at some time to be
paroled by the Governor, stating that
he thought such a provision in the
law a wise one, as it would give a
man an opportunity to reform and to
MAKE better citizen.
Il shall endeavor to do what I
can" said Judge Scase. "to assist
you in making better citizen" This
was said In connection with the idea
Of an eventual parole at the hands of
the Governor.
The motion for new trial was
ovcrrnled. Notice OF intention to an
peal was given and bail was allowed
in the sum OF $4,000.

A Word to the People.

You may feel hard up at times
feel like practicing economy at every
point-but it is not economy to stop
your subscription to a home news
paper like the Independent.
Such paper is the greatest in
fluence there is in a community and
with the public on the value of your
property; whether it advances, holds
it's own or goes backward. 1t is
the index to values to the many who
read it away from home. The visit
or. as his first act after arriving,
procures a copy, goes to his quar-
tiers, sits down and quietly goes
through its columns as a starting
point. What would your community
be without such a paper? Dead! 1t
is more than a card which intro
duces you. 1t tells of resources, of
products, explains every merit and
advantage, tells why your land is
valuable and cinches it with con-
vincing argument.
A subscription to the Independ-
ent is the best and cheapest invest
ment any property owner in its town,
county or locality ever made.
Think twice before you try to
cripple such an agent for your good.
