delegates and galleries than was Taft

Moore is Is years old. He entered
Sloan's store at Greer in 1909 and

You need not expect that I will rec

Judge Sease then proceeded to say
that Moore might expect to be treat

The Enquirer has q marked copy OF
the Greenwood News-Scimiter, con-
tanning a letter that John Y. Garling-
ton has written to Governor Blease
concerning his connection with the
Seminole swindle and so far as Gar
lington is able, criminally duplicating
one of the convict's former colleagues.
to Darlington, Stobo Young,
who was convicted with him, had abb
solutely nothing to do with the swim
die. He was only clerk in Garling-
tons office and knew nothing about
the matter Darlington does not ask
for pardon; but insists that his COL
league Is as guilty as he Is, and sug-
gests that the governor parole him,
(Garlington) and Young until such
time as the other man is convicted,
when he promises. that he and Young
will go back to the penitentiary and
serve out the balance of their terms.
OF course, as to what there Is In Gar
lington's letter there is no telling. It
may be absolutely true and 1t may be
only partly true; but whether true or
not, it is of doubtful Importance be-
cause there appears to be no way
whereby the facts can be legally es-
tablished We do not care to publish
the letter for several good reasons. a
sufficient one being that Darlington

ness stand, all that he now says, and
having neglected to take advantage Of
that opportunity, what he says now

yesterday paroled Young until October.

AN UNAVAIIING PLEA,

And now I ask your honor, and
you, Mr.. Solicitor, to have mercy on
me, and my wife and baby" A coal
black negro, long, awkward and
ungainly, thus made MS plea in the
court room in Yorkville last Mon
day. He was charged with forging
an order on one of the county's lead
ing merchants, and with signing his
step fathers name to the order. When
his case was called he stated that he
wanted to plead guilty with the un-
derstanding that he be allowed to
make an explanation to the court.
This request being granted, he shufled
up to the railing surrounding the
clerks desk, and rested his hands on
the railing. He shot skinny looking
arms out, making strange, excited ges-
lures. The crowd in the court room
looked for the ordinary negro harangue
or listened to hear a tale hopelessly
confused in the telling, but before he
had finishd all were moved by the SIM
pie eloquence of one terribly in earn
est.
Your honor, l amt got no money to
hire lawyer, and l amt got no friends
here to help me, so l just want to tell
you all about how this thing happen
ed. My father died when 1 was just
a little boy, and I growed up just the
best way could. My mother married
again, and l stayed on with her and
worked for my step-father just for
my board and clothes til I was mighty
nigh grown. Then 1 left him and
worked first here and then there, most
ly on public works. Sometimes l made
lot of money and then sometimes /
didn't have nothin'. But all these times
was coming back home every now
and then. / worked up in North Caro-
lima, and then l worked on the new
postOffice in Chester, and l went one
time to Alabama and did lot Of work
for a white man down there. But ev-
cry little while l was coming back
home. When had plenty Of money, I
always gave my step-father some;
and sometimes when | was out, ne
would give me some. You see we just
neighbOred among ourselves. Some
times I'd give him as much as five or
ten dollars and never 'spect him to
pay 1t back. Then he'd have money
and he'd give me a dollar or two dol
lars, and one time he gave me five
dollars-just gave 1t to me because I
was out, never 'spected me to pay 1t
back. We just neighbored between
one another Why, one time l went
home and they was all in the grass. l
took my hoe and went out and took
the foremost row for about three days

Then I told 'em, Well, I'll be getting

JUDGE SEASE AT HOME.
Spartanburs Man Deals Out Some
Stern Doctrine.

Over the same court in which for
twelve years as solicitor he so bril-
liantly represented the state in the
prosecution Of criminals, the Honor
able Thomas Sidney Sease, Of this
city, yesterday for the first time pre-
sided as judge. In the same room
where in former years he Illuminated
against felons he listened yesterday
with judicial poise to both the ar
raignment and the plea Of the defend
ant; where he once accused he now
gave judgment.
Judge. George w. Gage, Of Chester,
who has been presiding over this term
of court, was called home yesterday
by the serious illness Of grandchild.
Judge Sease chanced to be at leisure
and was assigned to preside. Although
he has been on the bench since
January, 1909, he never has held
court before in his home city. The
fact that Judge Sease was presiding
aroused unusual interest, therefore In
the sessions Of court.
Stern, albeit humane, he made 1t
evident that although he Is one Of the
youngest jurists on the South Carolina
bench he possessed old-fashtoned
ideas Of Jurisprudence. In the charg-
ing cf juries and sentencing OF con-
victed criminals Judge Sease taught
antiquated doctrine.
He told juries that they were not
to be governed by their personal In
clinations in reaching verdicts; they
were bound by oath, he said, to re-
turn a verdict according to the law
and the evidence; they were not In
court to reward friends or to punish
enemies, but to do justice though
the heavens fall" They were to pass
themselves upon the credibility Of the
witnesses, but were to take the law
as laid down by him, and from the
law, as applied to the testimony, they
were to determine the guilt or inno-
cence of the defendant and return a
verdict accordingly.
The doctrine Of Judge Sease must
have seemed rank heresy to those
lawyers who, not denying their clients
guilt, appeal to juries to acS.uit them
out Of mercy.

in a few moments and then sustain
ing or overruling them without fur
ther ado. Having once ruled on an
objection, he would permit no further
arguments to be made. Motions OF
which he disapproved were brusquely
dismissed.
After several hours of deliberation
the jury in the case Of the state
against Coan Moore. charged with
and larceny. sent out
word that they were unable to reach
an agreement.
Sheriff w. J. White, standing by the
open door of the jury room, reported
the status of affairs to Judge Sease.
Shut the door," ordered his honor,
flushing with anger.
After about thirty minutes had
elapsed he directed that the hung
jury be brought out. He asked the
foreman II they disagreed over a point
of law or over the facts Of the case.
1t was over the facts, the foreman
answered.

Judge Sease told them the law did not

THE MILITARY.

Gen. w. w. Moore. the administra-
tive head of the South Carolina Ma
tional Guard, and easily the most ef-
ficient and business-like adjutant
general the state has had in a great
many years, spent last Wednesday In
Yorkville on official business, the par
ticular purpose Of which was the an
nual inspection Of Co. L. Of the First
regiment, which has Its headquarters
in Yorkville.
In a talk with The Enquirer, Gen.
Moore made it pretty clear that his
one concern in connection with the
military is to make 1t more efficient,
and although the handicaps in the
way, principally lack Of funds, are
quite serious, he thinks that he is
making progress and hopes to still
further improve the whole organiZa-
tion during the next few years.
There was no annual encampment
last year, and when asked the rea-
son General Moore explained that 1t
was for lack Of funds. 1t costs about
$4,000 to encamp the three regiments
ten days, and when the time came
there was available less than $4,000.
This would have allowed the three reg
iments only about five days each and
when the matter was thoroughly con-
sidered by the advisory board, 1t was
decided that he practical value Of an
encampment Of only five days would be
so small that 1t would be a useless waste
of money. Accordingly the idea Of en-
campment was passed over. There
was q good deal Of misunderstanding
about the matter at the time; but
since the facts have been circulated
the action of General Moore and his
advisory board Is generally approved
There Is now available for the pur-
poses Of the South Carolina National
Guard about $4,000. This includes
the balance brought over from last
year, and to 1t will be added on July
1, $4,000 that the national govern
ment gives for general manoeuvre
purposes. making a total, in round
numbers of $4,000, not counting an
appropriation Of $500 that the ma
tional government allows for target
practice.
Gen. Moore says that Of course there
will be no lack of funds for encamp-
ment purposes at Admission this sum-
mer, and he expects to see to it that
his troops get all out Of the occasion
that Is to be had; but he Is not going
to allow any money to be wasted. He
Is a thorough-going business man,
and he realizes fully the necessity Of
conducting the affairs of his depart
ment along strict business lines.
