Columbia. May 21-George Hasty,
the Cherokee prisoner, sentenced to
life, for the killing Of Milan Bennett,
an actor, at Gaffney, December 15,
1905, will leave the State Penitentiary
tomorrow free man. He has been
granted an absolute pardon by Gov
ernor Blease. Hasty will never be
tried for the killing Of another MEM
ber Of the same theatrical troupe at
the time that Milan Bennett was kill
ed. Thus the pardon granted by
Governor Blease ends one of the most
sensational cases known in the GRIM
inal annals of South Carolina.
In his cell at the State prison to-
night, George Hasty knows not that
he has been granted pardoned. The
papers have not been made out in the
case yet. Governor Blease himself
has written across the back Of the
pardon petition Pardon granted"
and all that remains to be done is the
making out of the official papers, the
signing of them by the Governor the
Secretary Of State, and the affixing
OF the great seal of South aCrolina.
This will be done early Monday morn
ing, and the afternoon train will bear
George Hasty to freedom.

ce' >tated their own prices, and
&C " ,tely held the tobacco business
of ne country within its grasp.
Following the same general lines
as it did last Monday, when it gave
Knockout blow to the Standard Oil
company, it is argued here that there
is nothing else for the supreme court
to do, but to render the same opin-
ion regarding the tobacco trust, the
same principles run through both
cases-the main proposition being
that inasmuch as they are operated
IN violation of the Sherman anti
trust law that they are against the
spirit of the day.
If the court tomorrow shall decide
that the tobacco trust must cease
business as now conducted it will be
boom to countless independent
manufacturers throughout the United
States, who will once more be per-
mitted to open their doors and start
their machinery without being at the
mercy of the relentless trust.
The contention of the government
that the American Tobacco company
Is trust operating in restriction Of
the Sherman antitrust law was sus-
tanned in decisions handed down by
Judges Lacombe, Coke and Noyes in
the United States circuit court in
New York. Julge Ward handed
down a dissenting opinion.

TEN.
The entire electrical plant has been
designed with view to compactness
and efficiency, simplicity and positive
ness; and to obviate, as far as posi-
BILE, the necessity Of attention
The Cadillac company makes but
one type Of chassis, but offer line
OF six different types Of bodies, viz,
Five-passenger touring car, four-pas-
senger phaeton and two-passenger
roadster, each at $500; fourI assenger
torpedo at $1,000, three-passenger
coupe at $2250, and seven-passenger
limousine at $3.50.
Other noteworthy improvements are
made in the 1912 car, the more i'm
portant of which are increased power,
larger wheels, larger tires and larger
brake drums; increase in the gasoline
capacity of ali models, and a gasoline
gauge on the dash.
The size of the cylinders is not in
creased, but the increase of power is
gained in other ways. For instance,
the valve openings are larger, the in.
take manifold is larger and the shape
changed to insure more uniform dis
tribution of the gas to the cylinders
and new carburetor, of Cadillac de-
sign, deyeloIed in the Cadillac labora-
tories, is used. Not only does it sim
plify adjustments, but has maximum
efficiency and fiexibility from low to
high speeds. The only adjustment to
be changed under varying conditions
is the air, which is controlled by a
small lever at the steering wheel.
In the transmission the front and
rear drive shaft bearings are made oil
tight by the addition of stufing boxes.
The rear axle is of the same general
construction as 1911, with some i'm
proved details, the principal change
being in the brake and hub clutch
The rear hub will be shorter, and the
brakes are increased from IA inches
to II inches in diameter; with an iu-
provement in the brake operating
mechanism.
The front axle I-beam section is
made larger; with larger tie road, and
size of the inside bearings for the
front wheels is increased.
The size of the wheels and tires is
increased from "a to SO inches.
Springs have more leaves and are
stronger and more flexible, while the
rear cross spring is 11a inches longer.
