PROTECT THE SHADE TREES.
Hitching Hungry Horses Hurts the
Trees-They Eat the Bark OFF
andDeface the Tree.

In small towns such as Charleston,
Columbia, Green7ille and Spartanburg,
it is but natural to use shade trees
for hitching posts, but in town of the
proportion of Newberry it is altogether
wrong to do so.
In fact, one Of the statutes of the
town reads as follows: "Any person
who shall hitch a horse or other ami
NAL to any Of the shade trees, or any
boxing around the trees, on the streets
of Newberry, shall pay fine of not
more than FIVE dollars, or be impris-
oned for not more than five, days.
Personally The Herald and News IS
very fond of shade trees and regrets
to see them used for hitching posts,
especially when the animals hitched
seem to be short of feed and eat the
bark off the trees. One of the beauti-
full oaks in Friend street along side
the Methodist church lot is being rap
dily eaten away by one or more of
these animals. We take it that it is
only necessary to call attention to
this matter, and we are not doing it
for the purpose of reporting anyone,
but simply to prevent the continuance
of such a depreciation.

SIMON TAYLOR PAROLED.
Son of Mrs. Josephine Taylor, Whose
Little Boy Was Killed by Freight
Train.

Lear Governor please: Cdn you
send my boy, Simon Taylor, home to
me? Oh, how need him now. My
dear little boy has just been killed by
the railroad, and my heart is sore. For
Gods sake, governor, send my other
boy home to me-"
So wrote Mrs. Josephine Taylor, Of
West End, this city, to Gov. Blease,
asking for the pardon of her son, Sim
on Taylor, after the tragic death Of
her little 8-year-old son, J. B., who
was crushed to death by freight
train at the Main street crossing of
the Southern railway last week.
Gov. Blease, in answer to this touch
ing plea, paroled Simon Taylor, who
had already served more than three
years of a seven-year sentence, on the
Saluda county changing, and whose
full pardon had been recommended by
the trial Judge and the solicitor after
three years of the sentence had been
served.
Simon Taylor, the brother of the lad
who was killed here by the freight
last week, is the eldest Of his moth
er's family of nine children, three of
whom are mere tots.
It was on the night of July 8, 1907,
at the home, in Saluda county, that
Simon Taylor shot and killed his faith
er, William Taylor, after the latter,
80 it was alleged, had attempted to
kill the boy. William Taylor had been
on an extended drunken "spree" for
over two weeks, It was stated at the
trial, and on the night of the tragedy
reached home in an ugly humor, and
after abusing several members of the
family and attacking the mother, Tay-
lor turned his wrath upon his son,
Simon, who had demonstrated with him
and defended his mother.
His ugly humor, resulting from the
influence of whiskey, infamed all the
more by the opposition of his boy, so
angered William Taylor that he at
tempted to shoot his son, but the lad
fired first, the shot taking effect In
the fathers stomach, death resulting
therefrom. Simon Taylor was arraign-
ed and tried at Saluda for murder, and
at the September term of court for
that county, in 1908, was convicted of
and sentenced to seven
years on the chain gang by Judge De-
wore.
In November 8, of that same year,
Judge Devore and Solicitor Thinner
mann, in joint letter to Thurmond &
Ramage, attorneys, of Saluda, stated
that when Simon Taylor had served
three of the seven years Of his SEN
tence they would recommend to the
governor that he be granted an un-
conditional pardon. The boy has served
over three years.
1t was shown at the trial, and stat
ed in the petition which Mrs. Josephine
Taylor, of Newberry, the mother of
Simon Taylor and wife of the slain
man, sent the governor, that William
Taylor was addicted to the use Of
drink and often had abused the men,
bers of his family while under its in
huence.
Following his death Mrs. Taylor
moved from the. home in Saluda conn
ty, to NewbeTyy, where she worked for
the support of her large family. The
