Says He Obeyed Law.

II know that am obeying the law
as it is written Gov. Blease made
this statement in discussing the
judgeship matter.
He said that he knew that there
were disengaged circuit judges that
might have served at all of the spe-
cial courts to have been held, but
which were abolished for the lack of
a judge.
81 have af6davits and evidence in
my hands and will send a message
to the next general assembly on the
situation" he said. He did not state
the nature Of the affidavits, but inti-
mated that they showed that there
were disengaged circuit judges when
the supreme court said that there
were no disengaged circuit judges.
The law requires that the COVER
nor shall commission special judges
upon the recommendation of the su-
preme court, and that the supreme
court must recommend some one
learned in the law when there is not
disengaged circuit judge available
for the court.

Sumter's Mayor Resigns Office.

Sumter, March 31.-News leaked
out that Mayor L. D. Jennings had
filed with the city clerk his resigna-
tion to take effect April IL. To a
newspaper man Mayor Jennings talk
ed freely of the cause that led to his
action. This was the vote of coun-
Gil Tuesday night when contract he
had made for loan at 6 per cent.
was repudiated and another loan at
the same rate was ordered.
The mayor says he acted with au-
thority, and feels so keenly the repu-
diation of council that he wrote the
bank he was dealing with a full
statement of the case, sent copy OF
his resignation and asked it for a
statement of interest lost from the
time he told it the city would take
the money till the day after council
met, when he advised that the city
would not use the money. He will
remit this personally he says.
The resignation was dated April
II, as that is the date the next meet
ing of council, and the mayor did not
wish to cause confusion by having an
interregnum without regular head
of city government.

ceed T. E. Miller, who resigned fol-
lowing a resolution by the board sew
eral weeks ago. Wilkinson is at
present vice president of the insti-
tuition, and will take charge of the

kinson was the only one presented for
the place. The vote was four to two
and l moved to make the election
unanimous, which was DONE"
Besides electing a president, the

cation with T. E. Miller, the retiring
president of the college.
The newly elected president, Will
kinson, was born in Charleston. He
passed the examination andswas ad-
mitted to West Point, but was re-
jected on account of his physical con-
dition. He later graduated at a col
lege in Ohio and was given two de-
grees. He is the only negro elec-
tricial engineer in the State.
Among the other names that had
been mentioned for the position
were: R. w. Nance, N. J. Frederick,
J. J. Durham, w. w. Cook, The po-
sition pays a salary of 81 800 a year.

WILL SIGN ASYLUM BILL.
Will Also Appoint "A Commission" !"
States Governor Blease.

Columbia, March 29.-Gov. Blease
announced tonight that he will sign
the asylum bill, and that he. will ap-
point a commission, but he has not
vet decided whether or not he will
reappoint all the members of the
original commission. The commits
sions of the commissioners expire in
April, and the governor will sign the
measure very probably day after to-
morrow.
The asylum resolution provides
for the continuing of commission
to carry out the work originally plan
ned and for the expenditure of $780,
900 for the erection of building
for the asylum. The commission had
already purchased the land and made
certain Improvements on the old
plant. The idea is to segregate the
races and this will be done as fast
as the new buildings are erected.
"Will you reappoint the present COM
mission?" Gov. Blease was asked.
That's what l haven't fully decided
yet," replied the governor. II will
say, however, that I am going to ap-
point commission
The asylum resolution gives the
governor power to appoint new men,
bers or to reappoint the old COM
mission. The resolution was some
what of compromise upon the orig
inal, which simply renamed the old
commission and continued the men,
bers in Office.
The following. are members of the
present asylum commission: James
W. Babcock, Columbia, chairman;
Robert Wilson, Jr., Charleston; R. O..
Purdy, Sumter; Leroy Spring, Lam
caster; Geo. B. Cromer, Newberry,
secretary. The commission bought
several tracts Of land for the new
buildings

days ago, when he rapidly declined

To Make Survey of EdistO.

Orangeburg, March 30.-The en-
gineers, who are to make the gov
ernmental survey of the Edisto river,
are expected to arrive in this city
during the first part of April, to be-
gin the official survey. This work
has been somewhat delayed on &C
count of the removal of Capt. E. NJ.
Adams from Charleston, as he was
in charge of this work.
At the recent session of congress
an act was passed authorizing an ap-
preparation for an official survey of
the Edisto river from the city of Or
angeburg to the mouth of the
stream, with a view of opening the
river to navigation. Three engineers
are to come here to make the sur
vey. The survey is to be a complete
one and will take some time.

Kershaw's brigade. In 1865 he was
elected district judge for Newberry

placed by the radical government In
1874 he was elected mayor of New

sulting in a saving to the State of
nearly a million dollars.
In 1890, Judge Pope became at
torney general, being elected on the
Tillman ticket and the following year
he was elected associate justice OF
the supreme court, which position
he held until his elevation to the

BYRNES ON THE SCENE.
Name of Congressman's Secretary
Not Announced.

Washington, March 29.-Congress-
man Jas. F. Byrnes, of the End dis
trict, who will take his seat in the
house next Tuesday, reached Wash
ington to-day. Mr.. Byrnes has not
yet decided who he will name as his
secretary. When asked about the
matter he stated that he would not
make any announcement for several
days, but that as soon as he became
settled he would make public the
name of the man who would serve
him while here.
1t is probable that Mr.. Byrnes Will
be assigned a room on the first t1oor
of the house Office building. On this
floor there are already four of the
South Carolina members, Messrs.
Legare, Finley, Aiken and Ellerbe.
Nothing can be learned yet concern
ing the committee places which will
go to Mr.. Byrnes.
The ways and means committee is
still at work trying to please the
members by giving them what they
want, but the task is big one, hence
nothing definite will be known until
after the caucus of Friday. Of the
remaining members of the South
Carolina delegation Mr.. Lever is al
ready here and the others are ex-
pected to return tomorrow and Fri
day.

PAROLED TWO SALUDA MEN.
Were Convicted of Waylaying and
Killing n. NJ. Morse.

Arrested on the charge of waylay-
ing and assasinating n. NJ. Morse, a
farmer in Saluda county and given
long prison terms on a verdict OF
manslaughter, Alfred Free and w
l.. Henderson, two white men from
Saluda county, were last Thursday
paroled by Gov. Blease on the condi-
ton of good behavior and that they
never drink lone. drink of whiskey
again." The crime was committed
in 1904 and caused a great deal OF
interest at the time.
Il do not believe that the men are
guilty." said Gov Blease in COM
menting on the case. Judge Watts,
who heard the case recommended ex-
ecutive clemency, while Solicitor
Cooper, who prosecuted the case,
said that he could not recommend a
pardon.
Alfred Free was sentenced in 1905
to 10 years in the penitentiary and
w. L. Henderson to IL years. They
were brought to the penitentiary af-
ter several trials, where they remain
ed for some time, but were later
transferred to the Saluda county
chaingang upon a certificate from
Il ~ D,,f RI
of the prisoners.
No More Whiskey.
"If they ever take one drink OF
whiskey," said Gov. Blease, THAT
will be sufficient cause for them to
be returned to prison to complete
their sentences"
A special from Saluda, April IA,
1905, states that the first trial OF
the case resulted in mistrial and
Judge Prince so ordered it. 1t is un-
derstood that five of the jurors were
for acquital and seven for convic-
ton.
N. M. Morse was on his way home
during the night from Edgefield,
where he had been on business. He
was fired upon from the roadside.
The killing of N. NJ. Morse was at
the time regarded as an >assassina-
ton. He was killed by a bullet from
a Crag-Jorgensen rifle, perhaps the
first man in the State whose life was
taken with such a weapon. w. L.
Henderson, who was charged with
the crime, had been tried for his life
on the charge of killing Jack Bladen
Bladen in turn had killed Bozzard,
dispensary spy, who had killed an In
offensive old man. BozZard had
been convicted of murder, but was
pardoned by Gov. Tillman before the
ink on his sentence was dry. Quite
a long chain of homicides, four IN
succession and perhaps others not
recorded.

Children Hurt in School Fire.

Demorest, Ca, March 29.-A
score or more of children were in
jured, none fatally, when they were
forced to jump from windows of the
Hill school building at Piedmont col
lege here to-day when fire was dis
covered ia that structure. There
were more than 400 pupils and
teachers in the building at the time,
but all made their escape. The fire
started in the basement from the
heating apparatus and burned fierce
ly. The building is occupied by the
primary grades and nothing prevent
ed a heavy loss of life except the fact
that the second-story windows were
so close to the ground. The damage
is estimated at $4,000.

Unusual Nerve on Gallows.

Pottsville, Pa, March 3d. A re-
markable display of nerve was made
in the county jail yard here to-day
by Joseph Christock as he was about
to be hanged for the murder last fall
of Mrs. Ann Richards. Declining
the prohered assistance of a priest
and deputy sheriff, the man walked
smilingly from his cell to the foot of
the gallows and ran lightly up the
steps.
It was public hanging and about
the gallows stood 1900 persons to
whom Christock waved his hand.
Then he reached up, grasped the
moose and placed it around his neck,
put his arms by his side to be strap
ped and smilingly said: "Good-bye,
ALL"
The nervy man then held his head
in position for the adjustment of the
black cap and in another moment the
trap was sprung. He was dead in IL
minutes.
Before going to the gallows Chris
took made a complete confession, de-
claring he had shot the woman when
he was detected by her attempting to
mistreat her daughter. He told of
numerous highway robberies and
burglaries he had committed in the
neighborhood and wound up his con-
fession by saying he deserved to be
hanged for his crimes. He joked of
death to the very end.

RAISED A BIG RUMPUS.
White Girl Refused to Pose Before
Negro Student.

:. The race question came up in the
Chicago Art Institute on last Tues
day. and for time threatened to
disrupt a class when a white girl
who had been recently employed as
a model refused to pose while a ne
gro student remained in the room.
After a consultation with his fellow
students the negro artist to whom
exception had been taken relieved the
situation temporarily by walking
from the room. The matter is not
settled, as the girl says she will not
pose for the class while the negro is
it. Most of the class sustain the
girl.

Cuts His Fathers Throat.

Atlanta, Ca, April John Pey-
ton, 21 years old, attacked his faith
er on the street here to-day and cut
his throat with a knife. Although
the wound is serious it is thought the
elder Peyton will recover. The trou-
Bile was caused, according to the
youth, when the father refused to
give up $3.50 which had been award
ed to the son for the loss of his arm
in a cotton mill. The father sued,
the son being minor, and then it is
claimed he refused to give the boy
the money.

Petition for Pardon.

A petition for the pardon of Geo.
Hasty, who is serving life sentence
from Cherokee county on the charge
of killing two men, has been filed
with Gov. Blease for consideration.
The papers have been referred to the
judge and solicitor for a recommen-
dation. Hasty killed two actors in a
hotel at Gaffney. The trial attracted
a. great deal of attention. He was
convicted on the specific charge of
killing one of the men. The men
killed were actors in a troop playing
in the theatre at Gaffney. .

No, never. It's foolish to fear a

deadly perils to guard against in
swamps and marshes, bayous, and
