A BAD NEGRO PARDONED.
One of the Convicts Turned Loose by
Governor Blease.

Here is what the Newberry OBJ
server said of Ted Hodges, a negro
convict pardoned by Gov. Blease,
when he was arrested in Newberry
county some years ago for the crime
for which he was sent to the peniten-
tiary for life:
Fred Hodges, colored, has been a
notorious desperate for several years
"a terror to whites and blacks alike.
Five years ago Col. A. H. Wheeler,
then trial justice, issued a warrant
for Hodges on two charges of burg
larry; but he could not be found. A
few months ago Hodges broke into
Mr.. John C. Neels store, near New
berry He is charged with numerous
other offences; among them, it is
said, there is a charge of murder
against him in Fairfield county.

"You may say what you please

was at a hotel table in Texas not
long ago where most of the guests
were of the rough, drinking type.
An old fellow and his son were sit
ting together, and all at once some
body called the son liar. Son didn't
shoot-he just grabbed his table
knife and started for his detractor.
Well, sir, in less than a minute his
father grabbed him by the collar and
forced him back into his chair.
"'Ain't you got no manners? he
hissed into the ear of the angry
youth. What have I taught ye?'
"'He called me liar!' howled the
boy, brandishing his weapon.
'S'pos'n he did, sonny?' went on
the father. Amt you got no table
manners? Put down that there knife

'They know how to teach chill
dren etiquette in the Southwest, and
don't you forget it,"

In Jail at Lexington.

Lexington, Dec. 29.-G. B. Maffett.
white man, is in Jail here, having
been arrested in Prosperity by Sherifi
Sam J. Miller of this county, upon a
warrant sworn out by E. ]. Ether
edge, president of the Peoples bank
of Leesville. 1t is said that Maffett
on or about January 80, secured from
the Peoples bank of Leesville SITS
upon a check issued by Maffett on
the bank of Lott, Texas, and $50 on
or about February Is on a check is
sued upon the same bank. 1t is
claimed that neither of the checks
have been honored, and Mahett's ar
rest was effected. 1t is understood
that efforts will be made to square
the matter outside of the courts.

But while we shall miss him as
friend, it is as the man who loved his
town and its people that we love to
think of him. There have been
times, many of them, when we felt
like giving up the agitation of pub
lie matters or enterprises, yet he
never failed us when we went to
him for encouragement and support,
and he was always unselfsh to a
marked degree.
In 1899 when we came here Bam-
berg had no public school, it having
disbanded before the closing OF the
spring session and the trustees hav-
ing resigned. When we went to him
for assistance in taking steps to elect
trustees and open the school that
fall he gladly took up the matter and
saw that the movement was success
full. He was at the time chairman
and treasurer Of the Carlisle Fitting
School and was deeply interested in
that school, and while he told us that
he knew free graded school here
would injure the Fitting school, still
it would benefit the town and we
must have it. as poor children must
have a school.
He never sought public office OF
any kind, and the many public posi-
tions he held were those where he
could be of service to his people. He
was not ambitious; "Ich Diem was
his motto, and he was never so happy
as when being of service to others.
But it is not our purpose to tell OF
his service to Bamberg here. A
more capable hand has told of this
elsewhere in this paper. 1t is true
that his work touched every move
ment for the upbuilding of his town.
He will be missed more than any
man in Bamberg. How many men
have said to us to-day: "He was my
best friend" And yet he is gone
from among us and the places which
once knew him will know him no
more forever. after life's fitful
fever, he sleeps WE'LL" out yonder in
the beautiful place which his hands
had done so much to beautify and
adorn with trees, shrubbery and
flowers. None of us should fear to
die if we could leave behind us such
an honorable career of service to
God and our fellow-man. Bamberg's
best friend is gone, but it remains
for US left behind to emulate his
example.

The legislature convenes next
Tuesday, and the gentlmen compris-
ing Bamberg's delegation leave next
Monday to attend the session. What
are our people going to do about the
sewerage question? A bill must be
passed by the legislature allowing a
vote at the general election next fal!
on the question of a constitutional
amendment for this purpose, and the
delegation should be instructed to
get such an act passed at the COM
ing session of the general assembly.
There should be a meeting of our
citizens this week in order to give
the delegation some instructions in
regard to this matter. We must do
something if we want sewerage in
the next two years.

Whites, of Prosperity, hearing that
Hodges was at Spring Hill, Lexing-
ton county, took the old warrant is
sued by Col. Wheeler and, getting it
countersigned by Lexington justice,
attempted to arrest Hodges. Hodges
refused to be arrested. Capt. Whites
put his pistol to Hodges's breast and
told him to surrender or be killed.
His replay was: You'll have to kill
me- He then grasped the pistol and
a desperate struggle ensued, in which
Hodges cut Capt. Whites severely on
the hand Assistance came to the
constable and the negro ran. Capt.
Whites returned to Prosperity, and
on the 18th went back to Spring Hill,
accompanied by Mr.. Gus Blease, and
they, with some assistance, succeeded
in arresting the desperado. They got
on the cars with him at Peek and
brought him to Newberry JAIL"

HENRY JASPER BRABHAM.

s'Know We not that a Prince this
day has fallen in Israel" Only a
few months ago we followed the
form of our dearest one to her rest
ing place out yonder on the hill, and
to-day our dearest friend lies peace
fully sleeping near by. No one took
a more sincere interest in the affairs
of this newspaper and its editor than
H. J. Brabham. He was the only
man, so far as we know, who person
ally asked people to advertise in and
subscribe for the paper. He was
proud of the Office and it's equipment,
and many a time has he brought
friends from a distance to show them
through the plant, often insisting
that they ought to have the paper
and on many occasions handing us
the money out of his pocket to have
it sent to them. No matter how busy
he was, he was always ready to lay
aside his own affairs and help us
when we went to him for advice and
counsel.
A busy life is ended; he practi-
cally died in harness. Only a few
DAYS ago he was at his desk in the
bank building directing the affairs
of that institution, and even up to a
few short hours before the end he
was in touch with it's affairs.
"The good that men do live after
them and it is we'll that this is true.
He was public spirited and patriotic,
and for years to come his work for
the best interests of Bamberg will
stand as a monument to his unself-
ishness and patriotism. He loved
the town and it's people, and no
movement looking to it's growth and
prosperity ever failed of his coop
Grafton and support. He spent his
time and money freely for Bamberg
and there has never been man who
more sincerely worked and hoped fol-
the welfare of the town and every
business in it than he.
His very love for the community
and it's citizenship made him mlsun'
derstood. If he felt that certain
things should be said or done, he die
them. But if you did not agree with
him, there was no sting. Plain anC
blunt in speech some times he was
hut he never said anything tha'
would unnecessarily wound the feel
ings of anybody. AS strong char
acter, he was one of the easiest mer
to differ from We ever knew. NJ
matter if you did not agree witt
him on public matters, he was alway:
courteous and kind, giving due re
spect to the opinions of others.

tainted from Fright.

Timmonsville, Dec. 31.-An after
math of the accidental homicide near
here Tuesday has just been learned,
Sandford Burriss was shot and in
stantly killed in a tussle with James
White, his brother-in-law, both ne
groes. Martha Jackson, a negress
who witnessed the tragedy, fell in the
fireplace in a faint at the sight OF
the killing, and her clothing was
burned from her body. Her injuries
were so serious that she died soon
after.

Answered in Time.

What bills will the legislature pass
over the governors veto, and what
will be the outcome of the reported
Fielder statement that he will appear
before the legislature and tell of his
charges against the governor? Will
the two houses pass over the veto of
the governor the bill providing for
the investigation of the former dis
pensary winding-up commission and
reopen all the old dispensary fight?
What will be the fate of the act pro-
viding for certain cities to vote on the
question as to whether or not they
want the commission form of gov
ernment, and which the governor We
toed? What percentage of the We
toed measures will be passed by a
two-thirds vote and thus become
laws? Such questions remain un-
answered, and cannot be answered
Until the legislature meets and acts
on them.
Much time will be consumed in the
numerous elections which will
come up at this session. The
election of chief justice, two asso-
ciate justices, several circuit judges,
two members of the board of direc-
| tors of the penitentiary, trustees, in
surance commissioner and other va
cancies, will naturally take a good
| rart of the time of the houses, and,
| therefore, it seems likely predic-
ton that the legislature will get busy
from the day it opens.
Over a Million Needed.
The report of the asylum commits
! sions and of the various State COL
| leges and institutions will receive at
tention. One of the important mat
ters is the report of Comptroller Gen
eral Jones as to what will be needed
! to run the government another year
Each department head transmits tc
the comptroller general an estimate
of what will be needed for his depart
ment and this information is trans
mitted by that official to the ways
and means committee of the house
and the finance committee of the
senate and used by them in making
up the appropriation measures. II

Women Eligible as Sheriffs.

New York, Dec. 31.-Julius Har-
burger, who takes Office as sheriff to-
morrow, announced tonight that he
would give women a chance on his
staff. He mentioned a number of
prominent women suffragists, includ-
ing Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont, Mrs. Clar-
ence Mackay, Helen Gould and Anne
Morgan as eligible to the Office In
fact, he declared, any woman of
standing in the city might be ap-
pointed deputy sheriff, with all the
police powers that go with the Of
flee, upon application to the sheriff
and furnishing bond of $4,000 as
is required by law.

LIVELY SESSION, SOME PREDICT,
Lawmakers Preparing for Annual
Meeting of Forty Days.

coming in of the new year all eyes
arc turned to the date when the gen.
eral assembly of South Carolina con-
venes in annual session, which is
one week from Tuesday, namely,
January g. Just one more week and
the lawmakers will be gathering in
Columbia prepared to consider for
forty days the needs and conditions
of the people of the State and to
apply remedies such as in their judg-
ment they deem best. And if most
of the predictions are verified, the
coming session of the general as
sembly is going to be one of the
most important and interesting meet
ings of that body that has been held
in many year.
In anticipation of the convening Of
the lawmakers, the State officers have
been busy preparing their annual re-
ports, covering the work Of their
departments for the past year and
containing such recommendation as
they see fit to make. Most of the re-
ports have been completed and are
now in the hands of the printers.
while others will be ready before the
time for their presentation to the
legislature arrives.
Governors Message.
Probably the most interesting one
to the general public will be the
message of the governor, and this
will be one of the first the two houses
will consider. The fact that the
message will cover the first year of
the administration of Gov. Blease
will make it of more than usual in
terest to the general public.
Other State officers, especially
Comptroller General Jones, will have
recommendation of unusual inter-
est. Gen. Jones will ask that the
income tax laws be repealed or that
he be given more power to enforce
them. Then the State debt is to be
refunded this year and the comp
troller generals recommendations
along this line will be valuable.
Fight on Watson's Office?
That a fight will be waged on the
department of agriculture, commerce
and industries is the outlook now.
The recent correspondence between
the governor and Commissioner Wat
son has revived public interest to
marked degree, and it is rumored
that some of the legislators are in
favor of the abolition of the depart
ment. However, it has done good
work in many respects, has many
strong friends and may weather the
storm, shorn, probably, of some of
it's functions. The term of Commis-
sioner Watson expires in March and
his successor will be named by the
governor, who has as yet given no
indication of what action he will
take, and has made no statement
relative to what course he will pur-
sue relative to Mr. Watson, that is,
as to the probability or not of his
being reappointed Whether the ap-
preparation for farm demonstration
work will be touched or remain as
at present depends on the result of
the fight, which it seems likely will
rage around the department of agri-
culture.
