SENTIMENT UNANIMOUS.

The sentiment in favor of play
grounds In Perth Amboy seems to
be unanimous. Every city official
approached on the subject declares
that he likes the idea. Citizens on
~Eftss hsvs ~ssppfaessed~ heir sp-
prevail and the public meeting held
under the auspices of the Woman's
Club In the high school auditorium
Thursday night, clearly demonstrate
ed the great amount Of interest be-
ing taken In the project.
This being the case, why not 40
something? We might go on hold
ing meetings until Doom's day. We
might continue to express our ap-
proXal of the idea and everybody
would join In the chorus, but al
this would not give us Fairgrounds
Action is what Is needed now and
something should be done promptly
There are plenty of admirable site
for Fairgrounds in this city at tn
present time and a choice coul
readily be made in time to hav
something doing for the childre
this coming season, AS has bee
a,o1aafad a. fs NOT uacaScary For fh
city to buy the site at once. A leas
e might be secured with an opt.cn 0
the property so that If the idea
not. all that is expected of 1t, tn
city is not out a great deal of money
But the first move Is for til
mayor to appoint a commission
We believe 1t would be an easy maj
ter to find three persons In the cit
who are enthusiastic enough to Civ
their time. and pay their own e1
penses too, II necessary, in orde
that this project may be carrie
through for the benefit of Perth An
v boy. The hands of the people ar
n tied until the mayor does his par
He has already expressed himself q
favorable to the idea and 1t is to b
d hoped that a commission Will b
named within a very short time.

HIS PRESENCE NOT DESIRED.
Erskine College Wins in Action
Against Dewitt Blackwell.

Due West. May 20.-A case Of un-
usual interest occurred in the may
or's court here to-day. The authori-
ties of Erskine College swore out a
warrant against Mr.. Dewitt Black
we'll. for coming to the auditorium
on a public occasion. Mr.. Blackwell
was notified that his presence at the
institution would not be permitted,
but he did not heed the warning and
appeared at the public occasion,
which occurred there again, hence
the issuing of the warrant. Mr.. Ho-
mer Blackwell, of the Laurens bar,
a brother of Mr.. Dewitt Blackwell,
was here and represented his case.
A jury was drawn, and after heat
ed debate during the course of the
trial, Mr.. Blackwell was found guilty
and small fine was placed upon
him. An appeal was taken.
The authorities of the college
tried the case on it's merits, to see
what police powers they had.

Lorimer Case Renewed.

Washington, May pa prompt
and sweeping inquiry into new
charges against Senator Lorimer of
Illinois, growing out of the investi-
cation by the Illinois State legisla-
ture, was assured to-day when. the
regular Republicans decided to pre-
sent in the senate late to-day a reso-
luton calling for the conduct OF
such an inquiry under the direction
of the senate committee on privileges
and elections.
The Democratic senators will sup
port the resolution, which will be a
substitute for the La Toilette resolu-
ton naming a special committee of
new senators to take up the inquiry.
The Democrats held a caucus this
morning and decided in favor of a
resolution directing the inquiry by
the regular senate committee:
Senator La Toilette had given no
tice last week that he would call up
his resolution to-day. Senator Dill
lingham, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, will in
troduce the substitute agreed upon
to-day.
1t is probable that the committee
on elections will be directed to con-
duct the investigation through sub
committee to be chosen from it's own
members, but affirmed by the senate.

Actors Slayer Pardoned.

Columbia, May 22.-Geo. Hasty
formerly proprietor of the Piedmont
Inn, at Gaffney, who left this after
noon via Spartanburg for Gaffney,
said this morning when he called at
the executive Offices to thank Gov.
Blease for the unconditional pardon
granted him, that he was suffering
from consumption and for that reas-
on he had been removed five months
ago from the hosiery mill. Since
getting outdoor work he had gained,
he said, thirty-fve pounds.
Hasty in 1905 killed Milan Ben
nett and an actor named Davidson,
both members of the Nothing but
Money theatrical troupe, following
alleged insults by Hasty to Miss
Verne Sheridan of the same COM
pany.
About year after Hasty's convic-
ton charges of theft and statements
rejecting on the girls character in
other respects came to light. Hasty
declares Miss Sheridan and another
girl from the troupe called on him
at the penitentiary, but were not ad-
mitted. y

Passes May be Debarred.

Atlanta, May 2O.-The Georgia
State railroad commission has an
nounced that on May 81, it will set
tie the question as to whether or not
newspapers and railroads have a
right to exchange advertising for
transportation in this State.
Letters have been mailed to all of
the newspapers in the State, notify
ing them of the hearing and invit-
ing their representatives to appear
before the commission.
The commission some time ago de-
cided to apply the Hepburn act to
this State, and recently the Supreme
court held that under the terms OF
this act the exchange could not be
made, even though dollar should be
given for dollar. Judge J. K. Hines,
special counsel for the railroad COM
mission, also has held that the ex-
change IS illegal.

Another Dispensary Snag.

Columbia, May 20.-It transplred
to-day that difficulties lie in the way
Of any attempt by Attorney General
Lyon to obey the instructions from
the new dispensary commission by
pressing the States claim of $685.
900 against the Richland Distilling
Company, because this matter has
been handled entirely by Thomas B.
Fielder and by B. L. Abney, of Colum-
bia, and W. F. Stevenson, of Che
raw, the latter two attorneys being
employed by Col. Fielder.
It is said that the cancellation by
the commission of the contract with
Fielder automatically withdrew ABB
ney and Stevenson. as his agents,
from the case, so that no attorney
familiar with the case and armed
with the needed evidence is now In
the States employ.
Attorney General Lyon has not re-
ceived instructions officially concern
ing the commissions wishes In the
matter and will make no statement.

Will Ask for Pardon.

Lexington, May 20.-Perhaps the
largest petition ever presented to a
governor of South Carolina, asking
for the pardon of any one mana
petition bearing the signatures of
approximately 1900 Individuals
will shortly be presented to Gov.
Blease, asking for a full pardon for
George Nichols, who is serving life
term in the State penitentiary for
completely in the murder of Paul A.
Williams, of Columbia, who was kill
ed on the HagenbeckWallace circus
train on the night of October s, last
year, according to the statement OF
G. S. Cunningham, an attorney OF
Pekin, ILL.,, who spent yesterday in
Lexington, seeking such information
as might be of aid in securing the
pardon of Nichols.
The chief ground upon which a
pardon will be sought is the fact
that Nichols's health is such that he
will soon die, it being alleged that
the young man is now in the first
stages of consumption, and that the
confinement in the penitentiary will
hasten the end.
The petition contains the names of
practically every male resident OF
Pekin, city of $4,000 population, as
we'll as many others of the county Of
Tazwell, the home of Nichols's FAM
lily.
The crime for which Nichols is
now serving a life sentence was one
of the most brutal ever committed in
this State. Mr.. Cunningham will re-
turn to Lexington on Monday, and
it is likely that the case will be pre-
sented to Gov. Blease some time
during next week.

Shot and Beaten to Pulp.

Crawfordville, Ca, May 21.-Henry
Googer, so years old, well-known
and prosperous farmer, residing a
mile from this town, was found MUIR
dered last night. He had been shot
from behind, and then his assailant
had pounded his body almost to a
pulp with rocks.
The brutality displayed by the
murderer and the developments since
then has kept this ordinarily quiet
town in state of excitement since
the crime was discovered.
Joseph Moore, negro, on whose
shoes bloodstains were found and
who had a shotgun that was loaded
with the same sized shot found in
the body of the dead farmer, has
been arrested on charge of murder
The chain of evidence that is being
gathered by the authorities about
the negro is so convincing that they
have the guilty party that there is
strong talk of lynching.
The negro who is under arrest
had been employed by Googer for
some time.

TO STOP BRAYING OF MULE.
Illinois Judge Grants an Injunction
Against Leather-Lunged Animal

Pontiac, ILL.,, May 17.-Judge Kim
brough has granted a temporary in
junction to restrain the raucous
braying Of a leather-lunged mule, the
property of Frank Deamude. D. B.
Wise, of Potomac, was the plaintiff
and told the court that the mule
made night hideous by constant Bray
ing, and that he and members of
his family were unable to sleep.
Witnesses were produced who testi-
fed the mule could be heard. at
distance of a mile and that it de-
voted all the time it was not eating
or working to assailing the atmos-
phere with unearthly hee-haws.
This is claimed to be the first in
junction of it's kind on record in IL
linois.

APPEAL TAKEN TO CONGRESS.
Further Protest Against Brigham
Young Silver Service.

Washington, May 20.-An appear
has been taken to congress from the
navy department by persons who pro-
tested to the government against the
acceptance of the silver service for
the new battle ship Utah, one piece
of which bears the likeness OF the
Mormon leader, Brigham Young.
A delegation of women from Utah
was given hearing in executive ses-
sion, in which the matter was urged
on the house naval affairs commit
tee. The committee was told that
the non-Mormon citizens of Utah
subscribed as literally as did the
Mormons for the service and that
they had no idea that the gift was to
symbolic MormOnism.

Nothing Doing, Says Blease.

Columbia, May 20.-Gov. Blease
said this afternoon that he did not
purpose to remove his constables
from Dorchester county, because in
his opinion they were doing good
work and the request for their re-
moval was based on politics more
than on considerations of public well
fare.
The Dorchester grand jury and
board of county commissioners have
recommended and urged withdrawal
of the constabulary force saying the
county was being put to heavy ex-
pense with no proportionate returns
in service.
The Dorchester Eagle. says: "If
we are to have prohibition, it seems
that at least some of the existing
tigers could be treed.''

Ter Desperately Ill.

Walhalla, May 21.-Wm. Reihle
is dead and Fritz Muller is danger
cusly i'll as result Of gas poisoning
in the we'll of VIM. Reihle, near Wal
halla. A blast was placed in the
well yesterday morning and late in
the afternoon young Muller went into
the well. He soon called to those
above saying that he was sick and
asked that he be drawn out. After
Muller was drawn up for 20 feet he
was unable to hold and fell back in
to the well. Mr.. Reihle and Jim
Pruett then went down into the well.
They succeeded in raising Muller,
but both Mr.. Reihle and Pruett were
very sick by this time. When the
negro, Pruett, went down he tied a
rope around his body. Those above,
drew Pruett up, but Mr.. Reihle was
unable to help himself. Jim Hunt
er, another negro, then went down in
to the we'll and brought Mr.. Reihle
up, but Mr.. Reihle had been in the
we'll so long that he was dead. Dr..

Mr.. Reihle was brought up, but was
unable to restore him. 4
Both negroes are sick to-day. Null
ler is not only suffering from the
gas, but the fall injured him.
