Hang Negro to Tree.

Lawrenceville, Ca, April 1S.-
Shortly after midnight this morning
a mob of 200 masked men stormed
the Jail here and after attacking the
sheriff and taking his keys from him
secured the negro, Charles Hale, ar
rested earlier in the night for assault
ing a white woman. They took him
to a corner in the business part Of
the town and after stringing him up
on tree, riddled the body with bull
lets.
According to Sheriff E. S. Garner,
the mob was composed of residents
of the country surrounding Law
renceville. While the sheriff was
parleying with the ringleaders in the
yard of the Jail, three others slip
ped behind and dealt him heavy
blow on the head, rendering him un-
conscious. They then secured his
keys and made away with the pris-
Oner.

MUST GIVE PHONE NUMBER.
Jury Finds for Telephone Company
in Greenville.

Greenville, April 6.-According to
the decision of a local jury, tele-
phone subscriber has no "come-
back" on the company if central de-
clines to ring a telephone unless he
has given the number of the phone
desired. This was brought out in
the suit of D. Lewis Dorroh, member
of the local bar, against the Bell Tel
ephone company for one cent dam
ages.
The plaintiff claimed that in en-
deavoring to get telephone connec-
tion with the club, he could not find
the name so listed in the directory
and hence asked central to give him
'sThe Country Club" 1t developed
that the club was listed in the direc-
tory under the name of the "San
souci Country Club The jury re-
turned a sealed verdict in favor of
the Telephone company. The suit
brought out hot legal battle.

TO SUPREME COURT FIRST.
No Further Effort Now for Pardon
of John j. Jones.

Columbia, April 6.-That no fur
ther petition for pardon will be pre-
sented until after the case has gone
through the supreme court, is the
latest development in the case of the
State against John j. Jones, of Or
angeburg. Gov. Blease received to-
day a letter from w. C. Wolfe, Esq,
of the Orangeburg law firm of Wolfe
& Berry, in which the position of
counsel for Jones was set forth.
It has not been thought by the
Orangeburg counsel that the petition
for pardon from Edgefield would
come so soon; a plea for executive
clemency had not been sought and
Jones himself did not wish it.
AS stated in to-day's News and
Courier, new petition was nipped
in the bud yesterday, but to-day's let
ter from Mr.. Wolfe to the governor
explains further the situation. The
case will be fought out in the su-
preme court, states Mr.. Wolfe, and
then probably, in fact it is practical
ly certain an appeal for executive
clemency will be made if the appeal
to the supreme court fails.
Jones was brought here following
his sentence and at the time it was
thought the appeal to the court had
been abandoned, but such now ap-
pears not to be the case. Even If
q petition is now presented, Cover
nor Blease will not pardon Jones.

Chase Three Negroes.

Fitzgerald, Ca, April. S.-Tearing
the insignia of the Grand Army of
the Republic from the clothing of
three negro delegates to the encamp-
ment here of the department of the
Carolinas, Georgia and Florida, a
mob of a hundred men and boys be-
fore day break this morning ordered
the negroes to leave town. The order
was obeyed. The crowd then hurried
to find Telson, past commander of
the G.. A. R. Department, and
handled him roughly, several blows
being struck during the attack on the
aged veteran. Following the trouble
number of shots were fired. The
mob was made up of irresponsibles,
according to citizens here, who de-
plore the trouble.

HOLDS UP PASSENGERS.
Masked Man, Armed With Revolver
Goes Through Vestibuled Coach.

Muncie, Ind, April "a masked
man, armed with a revolver, held up
and robbed passengers in vestibuled
coach attached to westbound Big
Four train a few miles east of here
tonight. After taking about $4,000
in cash from three men the robber
dropped off the rear platform of the
car as the train slackened speed to
enter the city. Several shots were
fired at him as he ran, but he es-
capped.
Attention of the so men and wo-
men in the coach was attracted to the
front vestibule when they heard the
crash of glass at Selma, six miles
east of Muncie. Benz. Banta of De-
troit went forward to investigate
and was confronted by man who
slipped his arm through the broken
glass of the door, unlatched it and
entered.
Hands up, everybody" shouted
the man, covering Banta with a re-
volver. He then added, Come for
ward everybody, shell out"
The women were too frightened
to move, but the men crowded to
the front Of the car.
"Only cash, not jewelry," said the
robber as he passed among the men.
Ten of them had contributed their
money when an electric light mark
ing the edge of Muncie flashed in the
car window, and the robber, quitting
his work, ran through the car and
Jumped from the train.

MUST ENFORCE LIQUOR LAWS.
Governor Blease Issues Proclamation
to Officers of State.

Columbia, April 6.-Gov. Blease
to-day issued a proclamation calling
the sheriffs and their deputies, con-
stables, rural police, city and town
officials to order on the enforcement
of the liquor laws of the State.
The following is the proclamation:
To All Sheriffs and Their Deputies,
MAGISTRATES and Their Constables;

Town Officials of South Carolina:
Please take notice that an "Act to
declare the law in reference to and
to regulate the manufacture, sale,

portation and disposition Of all alco-
holic liquors and beverages within
the State, and to police the same" ,"
and Acts amendatory thereto, pro-
vides, in part, as follows:
'sIt shall be the duty of the sher-
ifs, and their deputies, magistrates,
constables, rural police, city and town
officials, to enforce the provisions of
this Act, etc.
New, gentlemen, I beg and insist
upon you doing your duty under this
Act, and wish to say to those of you
who come under my authority, if you
do not do it, (while it would be very
unpleasant,) I shall take action in
the matter and use the authority
given me under this Act. hope that
you will not force me to do this; and,
for this reason and because I am
anxious that all of the laws of the
State be enforced and that lawless-
ness and vice shall be put down as
far as within our powers lie, I ap-
peal to you to assist in the enforce
ment of all the criminal laws of our
State. I will do my part and give
you all the assistance I can. I also
call upon all good citizens of our
State to assist in the enforcement of
our laws. Very respectfully,
COLE L. BLEASE, Governor.

KILLED BY ELECTRICITY.
Conductor Pat Moore, on Anderson
Bolton Car, Electrocuted.

Bolton Car, Electrocuted.
Anderson, April 6.-Pat G. Moore,
a conductor on one of the interurban
electric cars, running between An
derson and Belton, was electrocuted
in Belton late last night when he at
tempted to adjust the headlight of
his car, the shock of 800 volts pass
ing through his body, which was in
cramped position against the car.
This attracted the attention of by
stander, who pulled the trolley from
the wire. When the current was
broken Moore fell to the ground,
death being instantaneous.
Moore was 27 years of age and
married. He had been with the COM
pany since the lines we're first built,
and was considered careful and eftici-
ent. His body was brought to An
derson and interment will be made
in Silverbrook cemetery tomorrow.
He leaves a widow, who was Miss
Annie Sassard, and several brothers
and sisters.

Won't Pardon John j. Jones.

Columbia, April 5.-Another petit
ton 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 Gov.
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 Gov. Blease will not act favorably
in the matter. He refused a petit
ton for the pardon of Jones few
days ago. This petition came from
Edgefeld.
The forerunner of a second petit
ton from Orangeburg was the pres
ence in the city of two counsel inter-
ested in the case. Gov. Blease was
not in the office when the attorneys
visited him at first and 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 Gov. Blease this afternoon
about the John Jones case, and Gov.
Blease stated the circumstances and
said that he would not at this time
extend executive clemency for the
same reason that 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 Gov. Blease will not now,
if ever, pardon John J. Jones.

Pardon for Way Refused.

Eighty-two closely written sheets
of paper contain the appeal of JET
ferson NJ. Way, notorious Orange
burg life-termer at the penitentiary,
whose petition for executive clemency
has been refused by Governor G. L..
Blease. Way was convicted in Sep
tember, 1906, of the killing of John
D. Palmer, and was sent up for life.
Of this prisoner Solicitor P. T..
Hildebrand writes: "This man has
q long and distinguished career as a
murderer. No person in this COM
rnunity wants him pardoned or pa
rolled. It is said that he killed his
first wife by choking her to death.
He was convicted of the murder Of
Elliott milestone, and was in jail
under sentence of death for four
years, but got new trial and was
acquitted. Then he killed Palmer,
most inoffensive young man, for
which he is now in the pen. He no
toriously whipped his wife and
daughters with buggy whip, and
defed the law in every way, and II
there is a worse man I don't know
him"
Judge Ernest Gray wrote that the
verdict was responsive to the facts.
On July 6, 1905, Way Killed Pal
mer. The trial was one Of the most
sensational ever held in the county
of Orangeburg. In Ways remark
able appeal to Gov. Blease he claims
that he himself would have been kill
ed had he not shot Palmer; that Pal
mer had had trouble with the church
and wanted to be revenged; that his
daughter had written palmer and
that Palmer in drunken spree, came
to his store and sought to kill him;
that he fired in defence of his life.
If. Ways story were true, he is the
most wronged man in the State to-
day, yet the solicitors statement is
Just to the contrary.
The letter in Ways handwriting,
is one of the most interesting things
that has come to the governors Of
fee. The date had to be changed, it
took Way so long to write the letter.
One note book is filed and the pages
numbered up to 80, after 35 other
sheets of paper had been filled with
recital of the events leading up to
the killing.

This Dog a Fish Hound.

James B. Holland of Limestone
county, has dog which possesses al
most human instinct, according to a
story related by R. H. Walker, late
state immigration commissioner and
editor of the Limestone Democrat.
Mr.. Walker says that when Mr.. Hol-
land goes on a fishing trip he car
ries neither bait nor fishing rod and
line. He selects a deep hole or eddy
and climbs a tree directly over the
water. Then he commences to cast
gravel slowly over the water, one
stone at time, and the fish, attract
ed by the falling of the gravel in the
water, begin coming to the surface.
In the meantime his dog is sitting
on the baqk, watching every move
ment Of his master and of the fish.
AS a fish comes to the top of the wa
ter the dog makes quick spring in
to the water and seizes the fish in his
mouth, and, swimming to the shore,
deposits his catch safely on the
ground far enough away from the
waters edge that the fish cannot get
back into the water. The operation
is repeated until Mr.. Holland has as
many fish as he desires. Climbing
down from the tree he gathers up the
fish and puts them in a basket and
goes home, the dog carrying the bas-
ket with him.
Mr.. Walker says that Mr.. Holland
is a man of "untarnished veracity,"
and will give anyone sworn state
ment to the facts if necessary, or will
take them to his home and show
them that his dog will do what he
says he will.-Decatur (Ala.) cor.

SUCH PETITIONS PREMATURE.
Governor Says Supreme Court Must
First Act on Murder Cases.

Columbia, April 7.-Gov. Blease
announced positively to-day that he
would not consider petitions for the
extension of executive clemency to-
ward either w. T. Jones, the rich
Union planter convicted of poisoning
his wife, or John J. Jones, the
Branchville attorney, convicted OF
killing Abe Pearlstine, the merchant,
until the supreme court has passed
upon the issues.
Gov. Blease Informed counsel,
however, that he would receive such
petitions as might be filed and would
forward all papers as received to the
trial judge and the solicitor for their
recommendations, 50 that they would
be ready for consideration upon the
determination Of the appeal.
