him In the Courts.
A special from Columbia to The
News and Courier says: Governor
Blease has pardoned G. Washington
Hunter, the Laurens Courty man
who has been under parole for the
last several months. Hunter, who is
generally known as Wash" Hunter,
was convicted of the killing Of Elbert
Copeland, at Clinton, and sentenced
to eight years in the State peniten-
tiary.
The case went to the Supreme
Court of the United States after hav-
Ing gone through the Courts of this
State. Hunter lost his appeal to the
United States Court last fall and
shortly after Governor Blease came
into Office he was paroled until July
the first.
GOVERNOR Blease prior to his cleo
tion as Governor, was one Of the law
yers who represented Hunter as coun-
sci, and F. H. Dominick, Esq, OF
Newberry, who was Blease's law part
ner and campaign manager, is one
of Hunters attorneys now. "Wash"
Hunter is brother-in-law OF Hub
Evans, of Newberry.
Hunter was tried at the February
term OF Court, 1906, and being con-
victed of manslaughter, was senten-
ced to eight years imprisonment.
There was a change Of venue in this
case from Laurens County to Green
wood.
Four times Hunter was tried In
Laurens county, there being one con-
yiction, the verdict Of the'jury being
set aside. Then there was a change
Of venue granted. It was taken to
the Supreme Court and the Circuit
Judge was sustained. Then came
the trial at Greenwood, with the re-
suit that the conviction and sentence
was secured.
Then UP through. the State Su-
preme Court and the United States
Supreme Court and the United States
Supreme Court the case went. The
Hunter case was one of the most
noted in the history of. criminal cases
in South Carolina. There were oV-
er 700 names signed to the petitions
for pardon. Among the signatures
were several Of the jurors who serV-
ed when the case was tried in Lau-
rens.
The postmaster Of Clinton signed
and among other signers were some
from Abbeville County. Senator j.:
n. Wharton, of Laurens, signed the
netftion: also Col. Thomas B. Crews,
Cate): Representative David Il. Ma
gill and a large number OF othe"s.
Governor Blease stated that he was
moved in this case. by the Supreme
Courts reversal In the Laurens case,
this case reversing the. Hunter case;
that If the Hunter case had the ad-
vantage of previous decision in the
Lazarus case, it would have been de-
cided differently.
Governor Blease indicated that ne
would, later, at the proper time, am
plify his statement, in the Hunter
case as to reasons for pardon.
"Wash' Hunter was paroled on
February goth by Governor Blease.
At the time it was stated that 1t was
desired to make a motion for a ne"
trial. On the same date the Supreme
Court ordered a stay Of remittitur
The pardon papers were MADE OUT
for "Wash' Hunter and he, there
fore, goes free.

The New Hydrocycle,

First came the bicycle, with which
all are familiar. Next came the mo-
torcycle, clipping 1t through the
streets at terrific pace-the power be-
ing supplied by a mysterious box un-
der the riders seat, which gives the
machine Is name. Now comes an In
venta at Oakland, Cal. K. Frey, with
a new machine called the hydrocycle,
which is a motorcycle designed TO run
on water. Mr.. Frey has long since
won recognitioB In mechanical con-
trlvances his new gas engine, now
In general use, demonstrating the fact
that he ia something more than a
mere dreamer OF dreams. His hydro
cycle has three wheels, which are
fioated by two air tanks located In the
center OF the machine. Rudders for
steering are attached to the tanks on
either side, and are controlled by a
die bars. The third or extra wheel Ia
in the rear--the three wheels being In
line or tandem. The riders seat is
located between the first two wheels
supplied with ten paddles on either
side, which extend six inches beyond
its rim and SO reach down into the
water. The hydrocycle is thus a mo-
torcycle. propelled by a third wheel
carrying paddles at the stern.

Most people believe that just ahead
of them is a veil, liable TO be lifted at
any moment, and reveal some great
mystery. There is no great veil and no
great mystery. The things men know
are all there is to know. The processes
OF nature are unerring, relentless; at
times terrible, at times beautiful. You
must submit; there is no way out of it.

OF steel cars, is unnecessarily risking
life because life seems cheaper than
new rolling stock. But more and more
the railroads are improving in this re-
