Considers 1t No Dishonor.

EX-State Senator j. S. Brice
of Yorkville, does not think that
reproach has been brought upon
him by the action of Governor
BleaSe in dismissing him as a
member of the winding-up com
mission of the old State dis
pensary. In a statement pre-
pared for the press. Mr.. Brice
says: II would say the commits
sion few weeks ago gave to the
governor, and through the press
to the State at large, the reasons
Of the delay in the completion of
their work and also the reason
why certain amount of money
was retained in their hands. 1t
is useless to discuss the legality
of the acts of the commission
with the governor. since the
governor, in his own estimation.
knows more law than any other
lawyer in the State.
L will say, however, that | do
not consider it any dishonor to
be removed from Office by man
of the calibre and character of
our present governor.
My work as a member of the
commission is an open book, that
may be read by all men, and
leave it to the honest citizens of
South Carolina, who have no
sympathy with thieves and graft
ers, to say whether or not have
done my duty"

Massey Hunter.

The announcement. made at a
meeting of the Book club held
Wednesday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. T. B. Spratt, of the
approaching marriage of Miss
Lille Massey to Mr.. j. Cleon
Hunter, of Woodruff, came as a
pleasant surprise to their many
friends in this section. The mar
riage is to take place early in
June, and will be an event of
interest in Fort Mills social cir
cles. Miss Massey is daughter
of Mr.. l.. J. Massey and is a
young woman of lovable dispo-
sition and attractive personality.
She has a wide circle of friends
in this section and throughout
the State. Mr.. Hunter formerly
lived in Fort Mill. He is now a
popular druggist of Woodruff and
also has a large number of friends
here and elsewhere in the State.

PRESIDENTS SPECIAL PASSES
FORT MILL IN GREAT HURRY

Returning to Washington from
a rest of several days at his
winter home near Augusta, Ga.
President William Howard Taft
passed through Fort Mill at 9:12
o'clock Sunday evening on a
special train running on the time
of regular train No. 80, which
was delayed ten minutes on ac-
count of the special. President
Taft probably did not know when
his train reached Fort Mill, other
wise he might have deigned a
hurried howdy-do to the score
of citizens who were at the depot
awaiting the arrival of the train
in the hope of getting at least a
glimpse of the first citizen of the
republic. AS it was, the train
slowed up a little as it passed
through town, but at that one
man said it was hitting the
ball, " as the expression goes in
railroad parlance. The special
was composed of five coaches and
the president was riding in the
rear coach. President Taft and
his party reached Washington
early Monday morning.

Orangeburg Schools Fly State Flag.

The graded schools of the town
of Orangeburg are the first to
comply with the law, passed by
the General Assembly in 1910,
requiring that the Palmetto flag
be displayed from every public
school house in the State. In all
the other counties of the State
the law doubtless will be observed
as soon as the flags can be Sc
cured from Clemson college.
The act of the General AS
sembly requires that the flag be
displayed, except in rainy wealth
er, from a staff upon the State
house, and every court house and
upon every public school build
ing, except when school is closed
during vacation. The act further
provides that the cost of the flags
shall be paid out of the expense
funds for the maintenance of
the respective buildings and that
the flags are to be made at Glenn
son college at a reasonable price.
The design is blue with white
crescent in the upper flagstaff
corner with white palmetto tree
IN the centre. 1t is misde-
meanor to mutilate or destroy
the flags.
1t is thought that the display
ing of the flags from public
schools will be of great benefit
to the school children, as there
are are many of them who prob
ably would not know the flag OF
their State if it were shown tc
them. Many are unable to name
and describe the color and design
appearing on it.

The Land Of His Birth.

The late Edward Ward Car
mack was the most brilliant of
the first magnitude stars of the
United States senate during the
six years he was in that body.
Nothing prettier has ever been
said of the South than this, from
the lips of Tennessee's match
less son:
The South is a land that has
known sorrows: it is a land that
has broken the ashen crust and
moistened it with it's tears; a
land SCARED and riven by the
plowshare of war and billowed
with the graves of her dead. but
land of legend, land of song,
a land of hallowed and heroic
memories.
TO that land every drop of
my blood, every fibre of my being,
every pulsation of my heart is
consecrated forever.
Il was born of her womb:
was nurtured at her breast, and
when my last hour shall come,
pray God that | may be pillowed
upon her bosom and rocked in
sleep within her tender and en-
circling arms.

Cattle Quarantine Modified.

Local marketmen and others in
this section who deal in cattle
and dairy products were greatly
pleased to learn a few days ago
that an order, effective March
Is. had been issued from the ag-
ricultural department at Wash
ington releasing York, Lancas-
ter and other counties of South
Carolina from the Federal cattle
quarantine for Texas fever or
tick fever. This action of the
agricultural department was the
result of good progress made
during the past year in the ex-
termination of cattle ticks which
spread the disease. The total
area released from quarantine
since the eradication of ticks was
Systematically undertaken i'm the
summer of 1906 now amounts to
nearly 140, 600 square miles.

Destructive Fire in Chester.

A destructive fire in Chester
Friday morning razed the big
woodworking plant of the Ches-
ter Machine and Lumber COM
pany. entailing a loss of S35, 600.
with but So, 500 insurance. The
fire originated in a dry kiln and
spread SO rapidly that the fire
department could do nothing to
check it. One of the owners of
the company is Mr.. b. Nj. Spratt,
formerly of Fort Mill. The plant
will be rebuilt at once.

Runaway Buggy Demolished.

A buggy, the property of w.
M. Adkins, a farmer of Fort Mill
township, was completely de
molished Friday afternoon by a
runaway pair of mules belonging
to j. u. Bales, of the Pleasant
Valley neighborhood. The mules
were hitched to a wagon and
were standing on Main street
near the public well. Mr.. Bales
ordered the negro driver to take
hold of the bride of one of the
mules, lest they become fright
ened at an approaching train.
But instead of taking fright at
the train the mules became
frightened at the negro and
bolted up the street. They ran
into the hitching lot at the head
of Main street and one of them
jumped on the buggy of Mr.. Ad-
kins. breaking it into many
pieces. Mr.. Bales readily agreed
to pay the damage to the buggy
and the matter was amicably
settled.

PARDON RECORD OF GOVERNOR
AHEAD OF HIS PREDECESSORS

Governor BleaSe is shown by
the records to have set a pace
in the issuing of pardons. COM
mutations and paroles which no
other governor in many years has
reached.
Fifty-five times within the 60
days, ending Saturday night.
since his Inauguration he has
utilized his power of executive
clemency.
Twenty-seven of his bene-
ficiaries have been pardoned out
right, Is have had their SEN
tences commuted and 10 have
been paroled during good be-
havior. Many of these COM
mutations have been so arranged
as to be in effect full pardons, ex-
cept that the beneficiary is not
restored to citizenship.
On each of these cases Gov
ernor Blease has acted without
official advice, having said some
time ago that he had no use for
the State board of pardons. He
has not seen fit to take the public
into his confidence as to the
grounds of his action on the
various petitions for clemency
which he has granted. In the
Office of the secretary of state,
where the records are kept, only
the purely formal orders are
filed. Governor Ansel's custom
was to file with each order of
this kind a brief statement of
the reasons moving him to his
action. These statements were
shown to newspaper men visiting
the office and the reporters were
also shown at the same time the
petitions, with Endorsements.

The proper form of writing
Sugar creek has come into ques-
ton, notes the Charlotte Chron-
icle. Some one has suggested
that the spelling is Indian and
is not the ordinary Sugar.
Some has said that it ought to
be spelled S-h-u-g-a-w. Another
that it ought to be spelled S-u-
g-a-w. Out on the ridge be-
yond the Sugar Creek church,
there is an old graveyard. Some
one has put up a tablet on the
edge of this graveyard and on
that tablet the name is spelled
S-u-g-a-w. Who can tell what is
the proper way to spell Sugar
creek? If it is any other than
Sugar, then the name must be
Indian, and it is more than prob
able that the name was originally
Indian.

ED CATION, OFTEN IN TROUBLE,
WANTED FOR THE CHAINGANG

Getting into trouble and stay
ing in it seems to come easy with
Ed Cation, a former Fort Mill
township farmer. After serving
a sentence on the chaingang of
York county about ten years ago.
for violating the dispensary law,
Cation migrated to Mecklenburg
county, N. G.. He had not been
long across the State line when
he was suspected of again en-
gaging in the illicit liquor traffic
and was promptly hailed into
court by the North Carolina au-
thorities. He was fortunate
enough to be acquitted of the
charge. Two years ago, how
ever, he again bobbed up in the
Mecklenburg court as the de-
fendant in suit charging adul-
terry. This time the court got
Caton's goat and sent him to
the chaingang for 18 months.
He served part of the sentence
only. Upon what now appears
to have been a misrepresentation
of the facts as to Caton's health,
Governor Kitchin was induced to
parole him, Cation at the time
being at large through escape
from the chaingang. After
Cation received the governors
parole, effective during good be-
havior, he settled down in the
Sharon section of Mecklenburg
county. Little more was heard
of him until Sunday, the 5th
inst, when he and a numerous
party of sports" foregathered
at Caton's home and got busy
inaugurating a big cooking main
they had planned for the day.
The officers of the law got busy
about the same time, however.
and swooped down on the
sports, with the result that
about dozen of them were fined
in the recorders court in Char
lotte the following day, Cation
being one of the number. Next
to get busy was the good people
of the Sharon neighborhood, who
sent a petition to the governor
praying that he rid their COM
munity of Caton's presence by
ordering him returned to the
chaingang to complete his un-
expired term for adultery. Gov
ernor Kitchin ordered Cation to
appear at a hearing to be held in
Charlotte to show cause why he
should not be returned to the
chaingang for violating the terms
of his parole. Cation did not ap-
pear for the hearing, however,
and when the officers went tC
arrest him there was no Cation OF
the name of Ed to be found. He
had run away.

Hub Evans Case Continued.

The case against Hub Evans,
former member of the old South
Carolina board of dispensary di-
rectors. under Indictment in one
of the so-called graft cases"
was continued in the Newberry
court Monday until the next term.
The continuance is probably the
last which will be granted, the
case either being brought to trial
at the next term of court or mol
pressed. according to Judge r. C.
Watts. presiding.
