"A petition was filed with the
county auditor Wednesday praying
the county commissioners to suspend
the good roads law under the option
allowed by that statute. 1t is said
the petition contains more than the
required number of signatures SO we
suppose the option will be made
operative. If the commissioners so
act, it will suspend the operation of
the law until the general election in
November, 1912, when it will be vot, d
upon. If a majority favor the law, it
will go into effect immediately there
after; if the majority vote is opposed
to the law, it will remain imperative.
While we believe the new law to be
an improvement over the old system,
the Independent is not we'll enough
informed at this time to defend the
law. OF Que thing we are certain,
however, there should be some system
by which some road overseers could
be prevented from spelling present
good roads. How often do we see a
good piece of road torn up and made
bad by some impractical road over
seer while another piece of road that
needs attention and is practically inn
passible at times remains untouched.
Whatever the new law may be, the old
system is pretty much of a farce.

1T Was Somewhat Dry.

The Fort Mill Times rcpublishes
the following description OF a dry
spell in 1905, which appeared in the
Charlotte Observer in March of that
year.
1t was so dry and hot in Charlotte
yesterday that the wagons went
about with their tongues hanging out
and ice had to be soaked in water be-
fore it was wet enough to make lem
onade.
The cat fish kicked up such dust
in the bed of Town Creek that the
river will have to be sprinkled before
the boys can go fishing this morning.
A spark from the smoke stack at the
water works pump set the city pond
on fire and burned up a wagon load
of bull frogs before the blaze could
be extinguished and the ground is
50 hard and dry in the nearby bot
toms that the crawfish holes will be
pulled up and used as gas pipes.

Flash of Lightning Proved Bless

New Orleans, June 30.-A flash OF
lightning and a sharp peal of thun-
der in a storm yesterday morning
restored the power of speech to Miss
Jessie r. Fischel of this city. She
had been dumb two years. The fail
ure of her voice followed a spell of
illness. Physicians and specialists
from this State and Eastern States
had diagnosed her trouble without
result and only last Wednesday a
physician declared in his opinion her
case was hopeless and further treat
men a needless expense. A sudden
gasp and involuntary exclamation by
Miss Fischel followed the lightning
flash and peal of thunder yesterday
and to her surprise she discovered
she could again talk. Her voice is
normal

5000 Found in Ceiling.

Fredericksburg, Va, June %
Patrick BaHer and fanny of this
city moved two days ago>into an old
frame house back of larger resi-
dence here which was probably built
$50 years ago. In repairing an old
fireplace in the second story, two
pieces of plank fell out of the ceiling
and a big box dropped on the floor.
Mrs. Baker found it contained
$400 in gold coin and $500 in cur
rency. Owing to it's being so old, the
currency was in very bad condition,
portions of it falling to pieces in
handling.
The house has long history and
no one can tell 10 whom the money
belongs. Mrs. Baker rented the house
and it is not known whether the own
er of the house will put in a claim
for the money or not.

BRISTOW DENIES GUILT.
Alleged Rapist Placed in Penitentiary
for Safe-keeping.

Lexington, June 27.-Sheritf P. H.
Corley returned last night from Co.
lumbia, where he placed J. c. Bris-
tow, the Brookland white man charg-
ed with criminal assault, in the State
penitentiary for safe-keeping.
Bristow managed to elude the
Brookland authorities on Wednes-
day and made his way to Abbeville,
where he was arrested at 3 o'clock
Sunday morning by an officer of that
city after desperate encounter. At
the tine of his arrest Bristow was
carrying his Winchester, the same
rife with which he held the Brook
land officers off for several hours. He
was in the act of boarding train,
having already purchased ticket to
a point in Georgia.
Bristow escaped on Wednesday,
the Lexington sheriff not being mott
fed of the trouble until late Wednes-
day afternoon. On Thursday Sheriff
Corley was joined at Brookland by
Deputy Sheriff Miller, who soon
learned that Bristow had boarded a
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens
train at Gervais street, in Columbia,
and both officers went at once to the
up-country, first visiting Spartan
burg, and from there they went to
Greenville, Greenwood and Laurens.
At each of these places the officers
were notified to be on the lookout
for Bristow. On Sunday morning a
message was received, saying that
Bristow had been captured and 'Sher-
iff Corley left at once for his man.
The accused is alleged to have
raped a little eleven-year-old rela-
tive while she was visitor in his
home on or about the 14th. He de-
nies stoutly that he is guilty, as also
does his wife, who claims that she
was atsthe home all the while.
The feeling is said to have been so
great against the accused that Sheriff
Corley thought it best not to bring
the prisoner to Lexington.

At the penitentiary w. B. Avant
took up his abode Thursday. He was
carried there direct from Cameron,

him few days ago upon requisition
from Gov. Blease's Office.
Avant was convicted of manslaugh-
ter and sentenced, along with DR.. G.
C. Bigham, his close friend, to three
years and half in the penitentiary.
Avant went through Columbia
about a year ago and 'phoned the
prison stating that he was going to
give himself up, but he didn't. In
stead he went to Texas, where he was
arrested under an assumed name.
Avant and Bigham we're tried for
the killing of young Mrs. Bigham.

WASH HUNTER PARDONED.
Had Been Under Parole Of Governor
Several Months.

Gov. Blease has pardoned G. Wash
ington Hunter, the Laurens county
man who has been under parole for
the last several months. Hunter,
who is generally known as Wash
Hunter, was convicted of the killing
of Ebert Copeland, at Clinton, and
sentenced to eight years in the State
penitentiary. The case went to the
supreme court of the United States,
having gone through the courts OF
this State. Hunter lost his appeal to
the United States court last fall and
shortly after Gov. Blease came into
Office he was paroled until July 1.
Hunter was tried at the February
term of court, 1906, and being con-
victed of manslaughter was sentenced
to eight years Imprisonment. There
was change of venue in this case
from Laurens county to Greenwood.
Four times Hunter was tried In
Laurens county, there being one con-
viction, the verdict of the jury being
set aside. Then there was a change
of venue granted. This came up to
the supreme court and the circuit
Judge was sustained. Then the trial
came at Greenwood with the result
that the conviction and sentence was
secured. Then up through the State
supreme court and the United States
supreme court the case went. The
Hunter trial was one of the most
noted in the history of criminal trials
in South Carolina.
There were over 700 names signed
on the petitions for pardon.
Among the signatures were several
of the jurors, who served when the
case was tried in Laurens.
The postmaster at Clinton signed;
among other signatures were some
from Abbeville county; Senator J. H.
Wharton, of Laurens, signed the Pc
tition; Col. Thos. B. Crews Qate;)
Representative David H. Magill, of
Greenwood and large number Of
others.
Gov. Blease stated Friday that he
was moved in this case by the su-
preme courts reversal in the Laza-
rus case, this case reversing the
Hunter case. That if the Hunter case
had had the advantage of previous
decision in the Lazarus case it would
have been decided differently. Gov.
Blease indicated that he would, later,
at the proper time, amplify his state
ment in the Hunter case, as to the
reasons for pardon.

DISAPPROVES FULP FINDINGS.
Governor Blease Sets Aside Verdict
of Recent COurt.martial.

Columbia, June 27.-Gov. Blease
late to-day announced his disapprov-
al of the Fulp court-martial.
The following was issued from the
governors Office:
I'm re court-martial and trial OF
Capt. James D. Fulp, captain, com
pany M" Sd infantry, National
Guard, South Carolina:
after reading carefully the pro-
ceedings herein, am of the opinion
that under the testimony, particular
" of Capt. Fulp, Ito be found on
page 1O,) that the court-martlal
committed error in rendering the YER
dict herein, and that they should
have dismissed the charges.
81, therefore, disapprove of their
findings, and order that the sentence
of the court be set aside and that
Capt. Fulp be believing as
I do, his statement in regards to his
failure to comply technically with the
law.
1.-The adjutant general is to be
commended for his endeavor to up
hold the military law and it's regula-
tons, but the officers of the court
should not condemn fellow officer
on mere technicalities-pa particularly
when, in the language of Capt. Fulp,
the military, generally, is a separate
institution entirely from other
business; it is kind of a charity busi-
ness when it is a commanding Of
fcer.'
Feeling this way, I think much
latitude should be given"
Capt. Fulp was court-martialed for
failure to turn in certain reports on
time The verdict of the court was
that he be reprimanded by the colonel
of his regiment, who is Col. Julius
Coggswell, of Charleston.

JAIL DELIVERY PREVENTED
Plans of Barnweu Prisoners ar
Frustrated.

Barnwell, June 28.-What would
possibly have been wholesale jail
delivery was frustrated here last
night when a plot was discovered
from information given by negro,
who was carried to the chain gang
yesterday to serve out sentence. 1t
is alleged that the wife of a white
prisoner named Cook, who is in jail
charged with rape and vagrancy, had
carried files to her husband, and with
these he and several other prisoners
had succeeded in filing through two
bars of tool proof steel. They had
also succeeded in loosening the cas-
ing of a window, through which to
make their final dash for freedom.
According to what can be learned
the work has been going on since
May Is without interruption from
the jailer, who failed to make the
proper inspection of the jail.
The opening made was too small
to admit the body of one DIR. Jeems,
charged with murder, and he had
creased his body in order to slip
through. He had several decorations
on his body as a result of his at
tempts.
The steel used in the Jail, which
is practically a new one, is guaran-
teed to stand 12-hour test, but the
prisoners were wise enough to know
that by heating the tool steel bars,
the temper would be killed and filing
made easy.
