Cause of Heat Wave.

Prof. F. P. Whitman, of Western

late heat wave may be due to the
tail which Haley's comet left behind

according to his supposition, has
made things hot.

DEFENDS HIMSEI r
a GARD FROM LOUIE L. CHART
RAND ABOUT BIS PARDON.
goys He Was Innocent and Was Not
Given q Fair Trial When Con-

yicted.
The following card from L. L
Chartrapd, which We publish because
wa published the fact that he had
received pardon from Gov. Blease
to restore his citizenship, explains it
self. Here is the card:
while, it humiliates me a great
deal to refer to the matter, feel /,
my duty to my many friends to ex.
plain WHY the pardon.
"First-The court (police COURT
OF Orangeburg is not court OF rec
ord (by law and cannot take citi'
zenship from any one.
"Secoad-The constitution grants
to every one a fair, impartial
trial by jury, when charged fol
crime. I begged for fair trial ano
was der led even a chance to- employ
q lawyer. ! also asked to be locked
up, and my only witness summoned.
That request was also refused me;
and while I admit that circumstances
connected me with the affair, only
from point of view, that I asso-
ciated and drank (whiskey) with the
parties who was guilty (Which fact
/ found out after being discharged)
do claim that I did not have a
shadow Of chance to defend my
self against an unjust, unfair con-
yiction by a man, who sat as judge
to meet out justice to the accused,
and not spite, or revenge, or to
obtain notoriety, through the chan
nels of justice.
"And T feel proud to be able to
say, although eight years have passed
since that unwarranted stain was
hurled at my character, for other
reasons than larceny, I am proud to
know that some of the court officials
who were present then, have judged
Justly, and have stood steadfastly to
me as gentleman. Since then l
have voted almost regularly, and l
held Office in the service OF the State;
and had not been informed by legal
advise that the police court Of Or
angeburg could not disqualify a cit
izen I would of set the matter
straight long ago. But feeling a clear
conscience in the sight of Almighty
God, and having not lost a worthy
friend by the occurrence, simply
let matters stand until challenged, !,
now that I am once more called on
to uphold the dignity Of dear old
South Carolina, in the house burning
case al North, and hearing that. the
old matter was going to be aired by
the deEence, and to avoid legal con-
sumption of time, or perhaps worse,
I thought to settle the matter once
and for all time, thus the pardon.
"Tirne has passed, and an all wise
God has blessed me in various ways
and I freely forgive those who at
tempted to damage my character. and
for the sake of the souls that are
now in eternity, will ask the pub
lie t. kindly let the matter rest
where it stands. as those whose souls
are in eternity cannot defend the
charge now.
Respectfully,
Louie L. Chartrand.
