conditional pardon from the COVER

dence submitted to him through Spe-
cial Commissioner w. NJ. Smith a few
days ago. 1t was expected that Gov

unexplained by local officers. Charges

wedding took place at the home of the
brides parents, four miles west of

Grove. Rev. T. c. O'Dell, presiding
elder Of the Rock Hill district, per-
formed the ceremony. After the cere-
mony a short reception was held and
refreshments served in courses. Mr..

city, where they boarded the o'clock
train for a trip north, after which they
will return to Hickory Grove, where
they will make their home, Mr.. Will
kerson being president Of the bank at
that place and also engaged in the
mercantile business. The bride as Miss

tractive young lady, a graduate OF
Winthrop college, and has many friends
and schoolmates throughout the state,
who will learn with great interest OF

Although generally looked upon as
stronger on the civil than on the Grim

Hart won a good deal Of applause this
week for the admirable manner In
in which he conducted cases on the
criminal side. The reference Is not to

the manner in which they were hand
led. He proved exactly what he want
ed to prove, kept out such testimony
as could not be lawfully introduced
and presented his side with such clear
ness as to leave the jury no room for
hesitation or doubt. 1t was what ad-
mirers of learning and skill call nice
work.
The reputation that has preceded
Judge Aldrich to Yorkville, has caused
his honor to be watched with unusu-
al interest, and people generally have
been trying to size him up" There
Is no denying the fact that there Is a
tendency to look on him with feel
ing somewhat akin to awe; but at the
same time 1t Is fair to say that people
have about succeeded in getting him
correctly placed about like this: He
Is a good lawyer, absolutely fair and
impartial, a believer in decorum and
order and possessed Of the nerve and
courage to say and do just exactly
what he thinks should be said and
done. He is not harsh, he has not
ruled anybody for contempt; he has
not reproved anybody unjustly, and
there Is absolutely no reason why any
body who is trying 70 conduct HIM
self properly should be afraid Of him.
If there were only as many as seven
or eight others like him on the bench
the entire work of the courts OF the
state would be done in half the time
and it would be done better than 1t
Is now.

BATTLE IMMINENT AT JAUREZ
Fighting Today Unless Diaz Resigns
SAYS Madero.

FL Paso, April 20-Unless the feder-
ais make an attack on the rebel army
that has threatened to assault Jaurez
Francisco l. Madero, Jr., says there
will be no assault on Jaurez until af-
ter 3 o'clock Friday afternoon. If by
that time he has not received assur-
ances from Porfrio Diaz that he will
retirefrom the presidency, Madero de-
retire from the presidency, Madero de-
take place.
"All that the federals want is time
to bring up reinforcements," he said
today, when asked if he would con-
slider an armistice. Il will give Dia2
twenty four hours to resign, he said
to a delegation of FL PaSo and MeXi-
can citizens that called on him in his
camp in the hills near Jaurez and ask
ed him to consider peace terms This
assertion was also a reply to Gonzales
Garza, secretary general Of the revo-
lutionary junta, who carried a mes
sage from DR.. Gomez in Washington,
asking for a delay in the attack.
"DiaZ must surrender the preSiden-
Cy." This, he said, was his final reply
to all attempts TO bring about peace
or a truce of arms.
An Associated Press correspondent
was in the camp when Madero met
the peace commissioners. After the
conference MaderO dictated the fol-
lowing:
The commission came unotficially
and asked under what terms l would
make peace.
Il said / would agree that, in the
interest of peace. | would resign as
provisional president of Mexico, but
only if l considered that the will of
the people has been satisfied. other

POLITICS AND BANKERS.
Secretary Meveash Says There Should
Be Two Parties In South Carolina.

Secretary MacVeagh speaking before
the South Carolina Bankers associa-
ton at Summerville last Wednesday
night made a plea to the southern
states to break from one party rule
and become bipartisan in their poll
tics for their own good.
Il do not speak as a Republican,
said he. Il am a member of the Re-
publican party; and 1 am member
of ii because l believe in 1t. l was
member of the Democratic party
during Cleveland's time; and l was a
member of it because l believed in It
But my interest in bi-party politics Is
not the interest of a party man but is
the interest of a citiZen-of an Ameri-
can. / want you to believe that my
interest in seeing the south under q
two party system Is wholly independ-
ent of the question whether one party
or the other shall prevail.
IF the south were alone concerned
bi-party government everywhere would
still be a matter Of sincere aspiration
to me. It Is in the interest Of the
north and the south alike that I look
forward to a time very near when the
party unanimity of the south shall be
invaded as it has been invaded in the
north by the converting influx OF an
active and powerful bi-party senti-
ment.
II know how long it has taken to
ameliorate the situation thrust upon
the south by the errors of certain feat
ures Of the reconstruction measures
adopted by the north. l realize as
vast numbers Of northern people real
4l, nd tYifh
which you have wrestled for many
years l do not say that in dealing
with these extraordinary conditions
you have in every instance found the
very best way. Self preservation Is
stern responsibility. 1t does not al
ways admit the incest determinations.
II am a particular friend Of the
colored race. And have always Won
dered that we of the north should
have believed that it was good for that
race to suddenly load them down In
their unprepared condition with a full
share of the responsibility Of govern
ment. And I have always realized the
happiness of the north in it's exemp-
ton from the tremendous problems Of
the people of the south. But happily
time has mainly worked the needed
reparations and as 1 conceive it the
south has arrived, at any rate, at a
time when it is practicable to have
that great necessity Of party govern
ment--two equal parties. And 1 know
no greater deprivation that has come
to the south out of reconstruction than
the necessity of trying to live under
party government with only one party.
THE independent vote means the
political emancipation Of society. And
1t does not mean at all hurtful detach
frnt nrtts Of q
party fealty. 1t does include, however.
a higher fealty as well as the fealty
of ideas, to policies, to principles, and
to country, the only final support OF
party government.
with the same parties established
verywhere-north and southland
everywhere marshaling and dividing
the people on the same lines OF
thought and action, the last stone will
have been added to the immovable
foundation of our perfect union"

Tho Governors HeaIth.-It is eas

The Governors Health.-It is cas-
lily believable that Gov. Blease, who
is now in the north consulting eminent
surgeons about the state of his health,
has not been fully at himself since his
Inauguration, and that on account of
his ailment, whatever it is, he has
conducted himself in a manner some
what different from what would have
been expected of him, had he been I'm
a normal state Of health.
1t is hoped by the people Of the state
all Of them-that the governor may
be fully restored to health, relieved
of the nervousness, which has mani
tested itself in extreme irritability
and Incorporate remarks and state
ments, to be equipped to give the full
effect of whatever ability he possesses
to the administration of his great and
honorable office.
The governorship of South Carolina
is no place for a sick man nor for one
who is consumed with the hallucina-
ton that his enemies" are chasing
him and that he must occasionally turn
back and deal them a slashing swipe
of some sort. 1t Is charitable to be-
lieve that the governors disposition
since he has been in Office has been
largely due to his ailment and that
with the remedying Of that he will be-
come not only a better governor, but
better friend to himself and to his

Sometimes law is justice; but not
always. An honest, conscientious jury
is more reliable in the dispensation
Of Justice than is the law. This does
not necessarily discredit. the law in
any particular. 1t arises out of the
fact that justice being the creation of
Almighty God is perfect in itself. The
law being devised by man is necessa-
rily imperfect. Do not let it be under
stood that the law ever really contem-
plates injustice, because this Is not
true. The intent of the law is as
perfect as justice ITSELF but that in
tent is often foiled and subverted by
men whose business it is to stand by
it's complete vindication.

In view of the fact that wars seldom
fail to bolster up the political fortunes
of administrations in which they origi-
nate, and in view of the further fact
that wars are sometimes originated for
the purpose of bolstering up the politi-
cal fortunes of administrations, it is
not likely that congress, especially the
house, will be very keen about allow
ing war to break out with Mexico.

The idea of establishing a new
morning daily in Columbia Is not dead
yet, so we heard yesterday. There is
in serious contemplation a syndicate
with a bunch of money considering the
starting of a morning newspaper at
the capital in the near future. To
make a successful investment we be-
lieve the project will diminish the
bunch's bank roll the first two years,
and if they cannot stand being hard
pinched for at least two years our ad-
vice would be, if asked, to stay away.

cred. True, there are many who dis
agree with the policy of the paper at
times, but it must be conceded its
management has done a lot of hard
and effective work for that city as
we'll as the state at large, therefore
we say to go in to crowd out such
newspaper is huge undertaking
which will take pluck, perseverance,
and the cash.-Manning Times.
And, referring to the last suggestion,
we will add, some brains" But the
field is open. 1t does not belong to

no reasonable objection.
