RABENS HAS BEEN PARDONED
Gov. Blease Shortens Time of Peni-
tentiary Service of Charleston Man.

Rudolph Rabens with several
aliases is back in Charleston, hav-
ing been pardoned by Gov. Blease af-
ter service of about two-thirds Of
his sentence in the penitentiary, hav-
ing been convicted at Walhalla for
completely in the blowing and robbery
of the safe of the Newry Mills in
Oconee county several years ago.
Through his attorneys, Rabens
made hard fight to keep out of the
penitentiary but it was futile con-
test and he was placed behind the
bars. The pardon Of the governor en-
ables Rabens to return to Charles
ton much sooner than he had hoped
to do.
Rabens was charged with being
the "fence' for the gangs of yegg-
men who operated in South Carolina
some years ago blowing safes in
postofices and cotton mills. In sew
eral instances, better results were
gotten with the prosecution of the
yeggmen in the State than in the
Federal courts, and the United States
authorities gave away to the State in
the trial of Rabens and his pals, on
the charge Of robbing the Newry
cotton mills.
1t was not known here that any
steps were under way for the pardon
of Rabens and his return to Charles
ton without any notice Of his case was
surprise. His former friends and
companions could scarcely believe
that it was Rabens when he showed
himself few days ago for the first
time about his establishment on up
per King Standardization Even
ing Post, March 8.

COURT QUESTION IN HoRRY.
Citizens Trying to Arrange for Court
the Last Week in March.

Senator Spivey, of Conway, was
in the city this morning on his way
to Columbia to attend a meeting Of
the financial committee of the State
Fair Association. In discussing the
court situation in Horny county, he
said that the people were very in
dignant over Governor Blease's ac-
ton. It had cost their county be-
tween five and six hundred dollars
and nothing done. The senator was
very much wrought up over the way
matters stood. He said that they
were trying to arrange to have court
there the last week in this month,
but did not know who was to be the
presiding judge.-Florence Times.

An Old Story.

have heard of poor and sad con-
gregations, but the saddest preacher
1 ever knew went from Posey county,
Indiana to Pike county, Missouri
(where John Hay discovered Little
Breeches and Jim Bludsoe,) says a
writer in the National Magazine. He
was starving to death on donations
of catfish, 'possum and hundred-dolr
lar salary. Finally he made up his
mind to go away. With wet eyes he
stood up at the prayer meeting to
bid goodbye to his weeping congre-
cation.
brothers and sisters" he said
wiping his eyes on his red bandanna
handkerchief, "I've called you to-
gether tonight to say farewell. The
Lord has called me to another place.
I don't think the Lord loves this
people much; for none of you seem to
die. He doesn't seem to want you.
And you don't seem to love each 9TH
er; for I've never married any of
you. And I don't think you love me;
for you don't pay me my salary
and your donations are mouldy fruits
and wormy apples. BY their fruits
We shall know them

"O'Riley is coming!''

spoke. Then there would be a cho-
rus of barbaric yellls, and the be-
siegers would heap more brush on
the fire, and the unfortunate pris-
oner was driven to wish that he could
hang his lungs on a tree for half an
hour.
This ordeal lasted for Is days.
During that period the intrepid old
hunter lived through his baptism OF
smoke, and had no thought of sur
render. On the 18th day the Indians
received words from one Of their
friends that soldiers were coming
their way, so they abandoned the
siege, leaving their dead behind.
There were ten of these dead In
dians lying around on burial plat
forms when Johnson finally emerged
from his cavern so we'll smoked that
he would keep in any climate.
It took him several hours to get
enough fresh air, and then he went
to Hutchinson and told of his ad-
ventures as calmly as a farmer OF
these days would tell of cows break
ing into his cornfield. His exploit
became one of the traditions of the
frontier; for years it was told by
campfres, and always with bolster
Gus laughter. The heroism of this
undaunted man, who kept up his des-
perate sleepless fight for two weeks,
did not impress the pioneers, for
stories of heroism were common
enough then; but the fact that john
son was driven to eating skunk
flesh was so irresistibly funny that
the old timers never wearied of tell
ing the story, and the brave man
was known as Skunk Johnson as
long as he lived.
The coming of settlers drove the
wild creatures farther in to the will
derness, and Johnson went with
them, and his cave knew him no more
forever. When last heard of, years
ago, he was frequent the wild places
of Colorado. Now and then some
writer seeking local color visits the
scene of that historic fight, but it is
chiefly used as the playhouse of ad-
venturous boys, and it is to their
credit that they, when discussing the
caves history, dwell upon the hero
ism rather than the humor of the
situation.-Chicago News.

Education q Failure.

Senator Robert L. Owen Of Okla,
homa, whose mother was Cherokee
Indian, stirred up some excitement
down Oklahoma way in one of the
first law suits he ever tried, says the
Washington Herald.
The opposing counsel saw 1T to
call Owen liar.
Owen got up and addressed himself
to the court in about this language:
"Inasmuch as the court has done.
nothing to maintain it's own dignity,
and as I am amply able to take care
of myself, 1 shall take this affair
into my own hands"
Then he turned to the lawyer
across the table and remarked 70
him in a loud voice that he was both
a liar and a blackguard, and that fur
thermore, he could just take that,
and that and that! Whereupon the
opposing counsel fell to the floor as
one man. Owen had used only his
fist, but everybody in the court room,
fled, not knowing when bullets might
be in the air.
After the affair was over, the law
yer who had called Owen liar stood
the front steps of the court mouse
and observed to a couple of friends:
81 was never much in favor OF
educating these Cherokee boys, any
how"

''O'Riley is coming"
Disregarded ''Eligible" List.

Georgetown, March 9.-The chief
Justice has announced the appoint
ment of Judge Ernest Gary to preside
over the court which is scheduled to
convene here on the goth instant;
this, of course disposes of the issue
between the governor and the chief
justice, so far as Georgetown is ef-
fected
A local attorney was furnished,
through the governors office, with a
copy of the list of '*eligibles' supplied
to the chief justice by the governor,
and the Georgetown bar had the list
before it when it was decided to rec
ommend Walter Hazard for appoint
ment as special judge.
Some of the lawyers present seem
ed to feel that the governors action
in furnishing such a list was some
what of an indignity, and the bar
was determined to let the governor
see that they did not propose to up
hold him in his attitude toward the
supreme court, as they believed that
\ the act authorized the chief justice
or supreme court to designate law
yers to act as special judges, when it
might be necessary, is constitutional,
and that when he undertook to sup
ply a list of "eligibles," he was go
ing beyond his prerogative.

Electric Ants.

When you happen to sit down to
rest or take notes near colony OF
electric ants some wandering hunter
is sure to find you and come cautious
ly forward to discover the nature Of
the intruder and what ought to be
done.
If you are not too near the town
and keep perfectly still he may run
across your feet few times, over
your legs and hands and face, up
your trousers, as if taking your meas
ure and getting comprehensive views,
then go in peace without raising an
alarm.
If, however, a tempting spot is
offered or some suspicious movement
excites him a bite follows, and such
a bite! 1 fancy that a bear or wolf
bite is not to be compared with it.
A quick electric flame of pain
flashes along the outraged nerves,
and you discover for the first time
how great is the capacity for sensa-
tion you are possessed of. A shrek,
a grab for the animal, and a bewil-
dered stare follow this bite of bites
as one comes back to consciousness
from sudden eclipse. Fortunately if
careful one need not be bitten often
er than once or twice in a lifetime.

SIS HOPKINS ON Welded LIFE.
''When Yer Hitched Don't Try to Pull
Separate" Says She.

Rose Melville, Isis" Hopkins, and
now Mrs. Frank Minzey, native of
Indiana, a citizen of the world and a
happy bride of two weeks standing,
is spending her honeymoon with her
husband and leading man on Dia-
mond Lake, 10 miles from Cossopo-
lis, Mich. 1t is very informal
honeymoon, says the indianapolis
Star, Mr.. and Mrs. Minzey devoting
most of their time to swimming,
boating and fishing.
1t was waist deep in water that
reporter found Mrs. Minzey with
her husband, and asked for some of
her ideas on marriage.
Don't you never get married to a
man that you amt knowed a long
time. A man that won't wait, amt
worth waitin' fer" she began, quot
ing sis Hopkins.
"Now Frank wanted to marry me
a long time, but I wouldn't. used
to tell him I had a career and it was
all 1 could manage without hus-
band. But had to change my mind.
I have decided I needed the husband
to manage me and let the career take
care of itself. AS Isis" Hopkins
would say.
Every woman needs a man to
take keer of her, even if he only
teaches her swimmin'!'
''Now, there's more truth than
poetry in that. I never could learn
to swim before married Frank, just
because 1 wouldn't trust any man
enough to let him teach me. If you
aren't married to man he thinks
it's fun to duck you. No husband
will do that. He thinks too much Of
his wife to scare her intentioally.
In Just the two weeks we have been
here Frank has taught me to swim.
FIRST of ALL" she went on, 1--WE
are going to make one farewell tour
of the United States. Then there
will be no more of Sis Hopkins.
after that we are going to take a
trip around the world. 1t will last
more than year. And then we are
going to settle down in South Bend,
Ind. Frank is going into the auto
mobile business and we are going to
have a nice, cosy little house.
Zone thing more about marriages
don't begin the honeymoon with
thoughts of divorce. That is fatal.
When you are married, stay married.
Being happily married is simply a
process of accommodation. Acom-
modate yourself to your mates likes
and dislikes. Make up your mind to
be happy and you will be: And:
"'When yer hitched, don't try to
pull separate. Keep yer ear agin
your podner's.'"

The Rich and the Poor.

The lights and shadows of life, as
well as the width Of the chasm be-
tween the rich and the poor, were
shown in New York few nights ago.
Uptown a social leader was giving
ball to his friends of the 400"
stretched now, is it said, to 900.
Also uptown the finishing touches
were bel, : given to preparations for
an international" wedding costing
fortune. In the Bowery, exposed
to raging snow storm, was a line OF
men, half-mile long, receiving shoes
and stockings through the generosity
of I" Big Tim" Sullivan. In all 1000
unfortunates were thus aided. In
the crowd were many who had seen
better days. One man was at one
time worth several millions. He is
now an inmate of lodging house
on the Bowery. Wall street specu-
lation had ruined him, while family
pride forbade him making himself
known to friends. Tears of gratitude
came to his eyes as he gave thanks
for the shoes. Others had been
bankers, brokers, merchants and
poets. According to those who
know, drink was the ruination Of at
least 80 per cent. of them. For eight
years in the winter time Senator Sui
Ivan has been giving out shoes and
stockings because, when he was g.
kid of seven years, as he expresses 1t,
he had to go to school with torn
shoes with his toes sticking out.

the boat owner and his thrifty wife.
There was the understanding that
we were to have all the sponges we
took. AS 1 have been accustomed to
handling canoe and rowboat all my
life it was not long before I could
manage to scull my husband around
in our skiff On two occasions we
brought in more sponges than any Of
the other skiffs, and you may be sure
we were praised.
THE skiff always returned to the
large boat for dinner and to sleep.
The three meals day are bountiful,
and in our boat one would not have
found better cooking in any first class
restaurant, that is of the articles we
had. Fish we had in almost un-
limited variety. Fruit was as abun-
dant as fish, and vegetables were usu-
ally served for dinner.
''One old sponge fisher was one of
the attraction of our experience. He
could remember the keys as they
were in the days before the govern
ment built lighthouses and when the
wreckers reigned supreme. He had
any number of yarns about the ex-
pilots of these outlaws. One was the
