Fatally Burned.

The Bamberg Times says one of
the most horrible deaths ever record
ed in this county took place at Olar
on Sunday night when the wife of
Herbert Kearse died from the burns
received from her clothing catching
fire. Mrs. Kearse was standing near
the open fireplace, dressing her little
l-months-old infant, when her cloth
ing took fire. She screamed and tried
to protect herself with a blanket, but
before assistance reached her. she
had been burned terribly. Size lost
consciousness, but regained control
OF her mental faculties long enough
to tell something Of how it happened.

WON'T PARDON JONES.
This is Governor Blease's Present At
titude.

The Columbia correspondent of
The News and Courier says another
petition for pardon of John J. Jones,
Of Orangeburg County, who was SEN
fenced to ten years and one month
for the killing of Abe Pearlstine, at
Branchville, was nipped in the bud
by the announcement from Governor
Blease that he isn't going to pardon
Jones. What may come up later can
not be told at this time, but at pres
ent Governor Blease will not act fav-
orably in the matter. He refused a
petition for the pardon of Jones a
few days ago. This petition came
from Edgefeld.
The forerunner Of second petl-
ton from Orangeburg was the pres
ence in the city Of two Of counsel In
terested in the case. Governor Blease
was not in the Office when the Gov
ernor was approached on the subject
of whether or not he would reopen
the case, he said that he would be
glad to hear counsel, but he has de-
cided not to pardon. No steps have
been taken to further the petition
from Orangeburg.
The presence of counsel here led
The News and Courier correspondent
to ask Governor Blease this afternoon
about the John Jones case, and Gov
ernor Blease stated the circumstances
and said that he would not at this
time extend Executive clemency Cor
the same reason as moved him to re-
fuse the petition that came from
Edgefeld. No papers were filed from
Orangeburg. A petition may later
be presented for the pardon Of Jones,
but it can be authoritatively stated
that Governor Blease will not now,
if ever, pardon John J. Jones.

time last week, lot Of the cheap beef
Of last week evidently having gone ia
to the freezers not to come out until
late winter or spring.
Statistician HORNE, of the Urion
Stock Yards Company, has figures on the
buying of stock and feeding cattle for
the first nine months Of the present
year that show q considerable inc'ease
about 10000 head-on the number
OF cattle taken out for feeding account
At the FIVE principal distributing mar
kets, including Chicago and the prin-
cipal river markets west, as compared
With the same months last year.
Complete October figures are not yet
available from all markets, out the
Chicago buying for October tnis year
stands we'll up to the volume OF bust
ness in feeders same month iast year,
the big buying during the last half
the month swelling the total to very
respectable volume for October which
is always a heavy month in feeder
buying operations.
These figures showing increase in
that volume are misleading, however
as a measure of the stock of cattle
now going on winter feed for all this
increase was put on during the first
six months Of the year and more 100.
as the three months buying. July.
August and September, showed fall
ing off at five markets Of about g.
600 head from the number taken out
same months last year, September
alone showing falling off Of 25,63S
head at Chicago. and more than So
900 head at the five points as COM
pared with the same month last year
Another feature Of the situation
which renders feeder figures Of the
year deserving to be- relegated to the
Ananias society was the drouth OF last
July which forced back upon the mar
kets in a premature and thin state
from Kansas and other feeding sec
lions, many thousands Of the in
creased buying of feeders evident here
during the first half the year. 1t is
regarded as certainty by the well
posted men in the trade that the stock
Of cattle now on feed for the winter
and spring markets is far and away
short Of the crop Of beef that was in
the making at this time last year. Good
feeders from the best producing sec
tons tell Of the smallest stock OF
Young cattle seen in their sections in
