BRAIN WAS PARDONED
Action of the Governor Came
No Surprise to the People
E10t,anoa

Action of the Governor Came rs
No Surprise to the People in
Florence.
Florence, July 20. - The an
nouncement that the governor had
pardoned r. l.. Brain, was received
mere yesterday, but it was no sur
prise. Bazin was found guilty at a
recent term of court OF manslaugh-
ter in causing the death of l.. E.
Foston at school festival in the
section of the county in which both
live. The friends of Bazin and his
attorneys insist that the conviction
was unjust to Bazin and was due
to the charge of the trial Judge to
The jury as to the law and facts,
and that there was evidence that
might, II 1t had been brought out,
Deen the means of acquitting Bazin.
A lengthy petition was prepared by
the attorneys, and among the sigma
lures were a number of the county
OFFICIALS and the senator and other
prominent citizens.
Hearing of this petition, the fam
ny of Poston got up counter pc
tltlon, insisting that it would be
deteating the cause of justice for
Bazin to be pardoned. This peti-
tlon was very lengthy one, and is
ana Is said to have had the ma ior-
lty OF the people of that section.
The Solicitor was requested to take
the paper to the governor when the
oIher was sent up and argue
against the pardon.
Solicitor Wells telegraphed the
governor these facts and asked that
no action be taken in the matter
until the counter petition, with the
argument of the solicitor, could be
heard. The following telegram
was received by Mr.. Wells in reply:
Columbia, S. c., July IS.
Hon. w. H. Wells, Florence, S. C.
Your wire. Mr.. Ragsdale here.
VIII wait your arrival If you de-
sire to come. Am frank to say,
however, that pardon will be grant

Bryan's Platform.

Hon. VIM. Jennings Bryan will
not be the nominee of his party at
the next Democratic convention, but
that he will have a large part in
shaping the party platform cannot
be doubted. There are questions
on which Bryan appears to be ir-
rational, and his ideas of popular
government cannot be made to fit in
with the ideas of the masses of the
present day, but no one can ques-
ton the sincerity of his motives or
the soundness of many of his doc
trines. In his ideas of government
Bryan has changed very little since
the hour he leapt into prominence
at the Chicago Convention, and it is
the dogged persistency with which
he clings to his iedals that has in
a large measure been responsible
for his inability to lead his party
to victory. AS stated in the be-
ginning Bryan will not be the nom
inee of his party at the next con-
vention, but the following questions
he is propounding through the col
umns of The Commoner indicate
that he will have something to do
with shaping the policy of the
party next year:
Do you favor a tariff for reye-
nue. only?
Do you favor free raw material
and the placing of revenue on
only manufactured goods?
Do you believe that in the revis-
ion of the tariff the element of
protection should be given consider
alton?
Do you believe the three branch
es of the government are co-ordi-
mats and that each should keep
within its constituted sphere?
Do you approve of the recent
Standard Oil decision wherein the
supreme court "legis ~ 1.-The
word unreasonable" in< ~er-
man antitrust law?
Do you favor the repeal In ~
criminal clause of the anti -"
law, or believe congress sh, |
make it clear that all restraint kf
trade is unreasonable?
4. DO you favor popular election of
senator's?
Do you favor the income tax?
Do you believe it is the duty of
the American people to promise in
dependence to the PHILIPPINE Islands
Immediately, and give it to them in
the same way it was given to the
Cubans?
Do you believe in publicity of
campaign contributions?
Are you willing that the course
of every nomination shall be made
public?
Do you favor support of State
governments in all their rights?
Do you endorse the labor planks
of 1908. strict regulation of rail-
roads. the Aldrich currency scheme,
asset currency in any form, estab-
law compelling banks to insure de-
lishment Of the central bank and a
positors?

rattles. A small pet dog had been
barking and scratching around
log in the edge of the woods near
potato patch. The little fellows
thought a rabbit had been "treed,"
and in their eagerness yentured
about the log until cautioned by
Capt. Zorn. On partially turning
over the log the snakes were seen
in coil, and a couple of shots from
Capt. Zorn's gun quickly ended
their creeping careers. A day
or so before Capt. Zorn's miller had
killed a large four-rattle snake not
far away.

Letter 10 Supervisors.

10 the Editor
l have just received a letter from
Prof. M. Goode Homes, Special
Agent Of the United States Office
and Public Roads for the State of
south Carolina, stating that he is
equipped with the proper outfit to
give conservative lecture on road
building and maintenance to all
County Supervisors, Captains of
chain gangs and road authorities in
general in all counties in the State
that wish the matter presented to
them from an engineering stand
point and of seeing practical
demonstration.
Prof. Homes has requested me to
assist in promulgating the offer and,
as Secretary of the Charleston-Ashe-
vile Highway, L beg to enclose
herewith copy Of letter to County
supervisors, captains of chain
gangs and road authorities in gen
eral, with the request that you pub
lish same; copies will be mailed to
papers in every county in the
State with the same request, that
those interested may take advantage
of what the United States Govern
ment has provided without cost to
the State of South Carolina.
Being a civil engineer myself, |
realize the importance of the
proper location of roads before
Defore work of a permanent nature
Is begun, thereby saving great ex-
pense to the various counties in
maintenance thereafter. The proper
location means equally as much to
the maintainers of the road as
does the maintenance after they
are built.
While South Carolina is in the
throes OF an agricultural campaign
IL must be remembered that good
roads control it all. For, no mat
ter what may be the output of the
lands, there must be a way to get
the produce to market in the short
est time at the least cost.
take this occasion to state that
the County Supervisor of to-day is
very different from the Supervisor
OF the days gone by, and they are
eager to get all the information they
can along this line; they are not,
as a rule, professional men and are
open to suggestions by which they
can improve the road conditions for
their respective counties. They are
intelligent men; willing and con-
sclentous workers and, | am sure,
VIII be glad to keep Professor
Homes busy during the Summer
months.
The letter states where applica-
tions for the lecture should be
mailed, and if there should be any
delay in reply, / shall take pleas
ure in rendering my assistance to
those who may desire the practical
demonstration.

LIkes the New Winter Banana.

One OF the best looking as well as
the best favored apples ever grown
in Colorado Is the Winter Banana and
at least one little neIghborhood over
in Garfield county is making a spec
ialty OF It. The color of the Banana
apple when fully ripe is waxy yellow
with a red cheek and II pollshes so
as to shine like a nigger's heel When
young and growing the color is green
and the blush may be seen in some
cases. but there Is no stripping in any
event There is considerable stir In
the apple world about this pippin and
some fancy boxes from Garfield cOun-
ty have been sold at fabulous prices.
The beautiful waxon color with the
lovely tinted red cheeks Is the main
cause OF the big prices obtained and
the quality helps to keep up the rep
utatlon. although In this respect It
cannot touch the Delicious which to
our notion is the greatest eating ap-
pie ever grown.

The Root Gall Cause. Great Loss.

The root gall subject has aroused
nurserymen of the country during the
last year or two and the bug will
probably never wear out for the evil
seems to be growing year by year. The
nurserymen maintain that this defect
does not injure trees but we who have
planted them know better. II has
been the cause of great loss on the
part OF our people and peach growers.
II has been the means of frequent
disagreement to the point OF suits be-
tween buyer and seller and has now
arrived at n stage in which much CON
fusion exists nd a great diversity OF
opinion In maintained on the part OF
those who ought to know as to cause
and effect of these various types OF
excresceuses which appear on the
roots OF nursery stock. Nurserymen
have been accepting the dictim OF
pathologists and others supposed to
understand the character and danger
Of this form OF parasite. Some OF the
restrictive measures introduced and
enforced have been exceedingly draB-
tic and sweeping They have at any
rate aroused nurserymen 10 the point
of taking hand In the investigation

now they propose 20 find out nil about

that this enormous sudden expansIon

be applied. In more severe locations
this sould be increased to six inches
and in the prairie sections 1t may be
necessary to use eight inches OF
straw, or even more. In some years
almost any covering will do; but win
ters that are hard on Strawberries
and which injure or kill them out
when not heavily covered, are suf-
ficiently frequent to make it worth
while to be well prepared. II is I'm
portant to have the straw free from
weed seeds. Swale hay is an ideal
covering for small patches when It is
available and is better than straw
Manure should not be used unless It
is very light, because II is likely to
settle down and smother the plants.
The covering should be supplied by
Thanksgiving time and this rule ap-
plies as well to every other thing on
the place that needs winter protection.
Raspberries and biackberries are
nearly always sufficiently benefited.
by laying them down and covering
with earth. to make the expense and
trouble more than pay. The work is
done by bending the canes to the
north and covering them with earth.
II the canes are large and stiff and
growing in hills the best way is to
dig forkfullor two OF earth from
in front OF the plants before bending
them over. 1t is more convenient to
begin at the north end OF the row. The
entire canes should be covered with
earth. This work may be done any
time after the leaves fall and before
the ground freezes up. It cannot be
done while there is frost in the canes.
for they will snap on.
