Methodists to Raise $500, 600.

Among the important items
of business transacted just be-
fore adjournment of the recent
conference at Anderson of the
Methodists of the State was the
adoption of a resolution providing
for campaign to raise $500, 600
for ealarging and improving the
plants of Wofford College, Lam
der College and Columbia Col
lege.
it was also recommended that
a commissioner of education to
supervise the work of the finan-
cial agents of the various church
institutions of learning to be pro-
vided for. This was done after
some debate.
The conference meets next in
Rock Hill in November, 1913.

Good Way TO Save Birds.

In Lancaster county a number
of farmers who own adjoining
farms are joining together in
posting their lands. They agree
to kill no birds themselves and
to insist that no one else kills any
on their lands. If they will not
break this agreement, and will
demand their rights as guaran-
teed to them by the game laws
of the State, they will soon have
enough birds to destroy all bugs
and insects that might harm
their crops and in this way gain
many times the price of the few
birds that may be on their lands
now.

John FeweIl Gets Pardon.

D. B. Paul, of the Charlotte
bar, has received notification
from Alex j. Field, secretary to
Governor Kitchin, that the gov
ernor has pardoned conditionally,
John Fewell, colored, convicted
in Mecklenburg criminal court of
September, 1903, of the murder
of Robert Mccain, colored, and
sentenced to 20 years in the
penitentiary.
Another negro who was after
ward convicted of completely in
the death of a negro woman con.
fessed that he was with Fewell
the night he was alleged to have
slain Mccain and that Fewell
only took hold of Mccain to stop
his outcries and that another
negro, who struck Mccain in the
head with the chair post, was the
slayer of Mccain.
The trial Judge, the prosecu-
ting attorney and others who
were present at the trial OF
Fewell joined in the plea for par
don, stating that if the defend
ant was guilty of anything it was
nothing worse than manslaugh.

already served beyond the usual
term imposed for that offence.

Crum, Rooseyelt's Pet, is Dead.

William D. Crum, colored,
United States minister to Li-

day from African fever contract

Cruul's appointment as col
lector Of the port of Charleston by
President Roosevelt stirred the
whole South to bitter protest.
President Taft deposed the
negro after he had served two
terms as collector. In an adj

NO PROTECTION here
FOR WOMAN ASSAILAhTS

The most sensational feature,
if indeed it was not the only SEN
sational feature, of the recent
Conference for Governors, in
Richmond, Va, was the speech
of Gov. Cole L. Blease in which
he stated emphatically that ne
gro assailants of white women in
South Carolina need not expect
nor would they receive any pro-
lection of the law while he was
Governor, and that the lynchers
of such degenerates would go
unpunished.
Il have said all over the State
of South Carolina, and | say it
again, now," declared Governor
Blease, that | will never order
out the militia to shoot down
their neighbors and protect a
black brute who commits the
nameless crime against a white
woman.
Therefore, in South Carolina
let it be understood that when a
negro assaults a white woman all
that is needed is that they get
the right man, and they who get
him will neither need not receive
a trial."
Governor Blease justified the
use he had made of his pardon
ing power, he said, by conditions
he had found in penal institutions
in this State.
Il walked through the peni-
tentiary of South Carolina" he
said, "and found it a tuberculo-
sis incubator, where poor devils
were dying at their tasks, max
ing money for other people; poor
devils who had no choice but to
stand and work or take the lash.
Just the other day, Jim Roberts,
a negro from Charleston, stopped
me as | was walking through
and respectfully asked perm s.
sion to speak to me. He told me
that he had been kept in Jail for
twenty-five years for stealing a
$27 watch.
Il said: If you are telling me
the truth, you will eat your
Christmas dinner with your folks
at home He said: Governor, |
have no folks. Then | re-
piled, You will eat it away from
here And he will. Another
negro had served eleven years
and seven months for stealing
SO; a Judge wrote to me that ne
had sentenced to death a man
when he didn't believe the man
had been convicted beyond a reas-
onable.doubt. Another wrote me
that he sentenced to death a man
whom he did not believe should
be put to death. He did not be-
lieve it at the time, nor does ne
believe it now.
"These are errors of justice
l am trying to right with my
power to pardon. | am proud OF
nv record" "
