NO ACTION BY BLEASE.
Refers Case of ParOIed Convict to
Chester Attorney.

Chester, Jan. 19.-Gov Blease's
reply to Chief of Police Sanders's
telegram yesterday evening inform
ing him of the arrest of Jim Car
ter, a paroled convict from the State
penitentiary, was extremely non-com-
initial. The message was as follows:
81. L. Sanders, Chief of Police,
Chester, S. c.: Your wire reference
to Jim Carter. Advise with Hon.
J. Lyles Glenn.
"COLE L. BLEASE, Governor"
Mr. Glenn was the attorney who
secured Carter's parole last spring,
but when waited upon this morning
by Chief Sanders and shown the gov
ernor's telegram he was totally un-
prepared to make any suggestions in
the matter. Chief Sanders is of the
opinion that his duty has been per-
formed and will turn, Carter loose
tomorrow morning if he is able to
give the $25 bond demanded by the
city. Carter was convicted of rape,
with recommendation to mercy, in
this county in July, 1905, and was
paroled last spring, He was arrest
ed here yesterday afternoon for car
rying pistol and disorderly con-
duct.

THIEVES AFTER BOOTY.
High Price of Butter Attracts Gangs
of Crooks.

New York, JAM 20.-The high
price to which butter has scared has
made it the prize loot Of city thieves
in recent days. It developed to-day
that gangs of clever operatives have
stolen thousands of dollars worth of
the commodity in the past few weeks,
and a load valued at $1,000 having
been taken in one instance in day
light from truck in the wholesale
provision district.
The police do not believe that the
robberies are the work of ordinary
thieves. It is thought that the opera
tors are connected in some way with
the butter trade, and have a regular
outlet for their goods.

KATE SHELLY DEAD.
Heroine of Honey Creek Flood Passes
Away.

Boone, a., Jan. 21.-Kate Shelly,
heroine of the Honey creek flood dis
aster in 1881, died to-day at her
home, quarter of a mile from the
Moingona bridge across the Des
Moines river, the scene of her heroic
act. Six months ago she was operat-
ed on for appendicitis and before she
recovered, Bright's disease set in.
During a violent storm 80 years
ago, Miss Shelly, who was station
agent at Moingona, crossed the
bridge over the Des Moines river on
her hands and knees at midnight to
flag a passenger train on the Chicago
& Northwestern Railroad and save
it from plunging into Honey creek,
over which the bridge had been
washed away.
For her bravery the Iowa legisla-
ture awarded her a medal and sum
of money. She also received sub
stantial recognition from the railroad
company as we'll as many contribu-
tions from various parts of the coun-
try.

HORSE RAN INTO STORE.
Queer Accident That Happened In
Spartanburg.

While John R. Burke was driving
on Morgan Square yesterday after
noon about 6 o'clock, his horse be-
came unmanageable and ran away.
Darling through the square to Ken
nedy place, the horse ran squarely
i. 20 the large window of the store Of
J. Z. Bagwell, smashing out the
glass. The animal was severely in
jured. The glass was shattered and
cranberries, piled high in the win
dow, were scattered over the streets
as wild plums in a thicket.
The driver was not injured. A
large crowd of people gathered
around the sight and the morbidly
curious elbowed their way through
the crowds to view the poor bleed
ing animal which was soon to die,
while other with curiosity but with
chicken hearts," fearing that they
could not eat hearty supper after
having seen the animal in this condi-
ton, contented themselves with
critical inspection of the shattered
window.-Spartanburg Journal.

WIFE'S CLUB SCATTERS.
When Husband Does Family Wash
ing in Drawing Room.

Wheeling, w. Va, Jan. 20.-De-
termined to put crimp in his wife's
ambition to become a social leader,
Thomas Yingling, a wholesale butch
er, who climbed up the sausage lad
der link by link until he acquired
a fortune, entered the drawing room
of his home to-day while his wife
was presiding over card party, and,
attaching a washing machine to the
electric fixtures, proceeded to \set a
good example for the women pres
ent by doing the family washing.
Without waiting to remove the
suds from their afternoon gowns the
women fled from the place and left
Mr.. Yingling in full possession.
Some of those who delayed their
departure said that it was a regular
Yingling circus when Mrs. Yingling
told her husband what she thought
of his action. She retired to her room
and late last night issued a bulletin,
announcing her intention of starting
wholesale butcher shop in Opposi-
tion to her husband. This announce
ment was greeted with cheers by res
idents of this city, who see a chance
to get meat at ridiculously lower
prices as a result of the Yingling diff
ferences.
The fact that he has prospered
in business has not convinced Mr..
Yingling that he should change his
habits or his style of dress, the sar-
torial rock being the one on which
the family harmony went to pieces.
Mrs. Yingling was anxious to make
social conquests, and to that end in
sisted that her husband put on his
minstrel first part for dinner every
evening. He protested that the sight
of evening clothes took away his ap-
petite, but she was obdurate, and
compelled him to get behind the
marble top shirt when he came from
the abattoir.
To show that she was in earnest in
her promise to take her husbands
business scalp, Mrs. Yingling rented
a big storeroom to-day

Violated the Law.

In his speech against the bill OF
Senator Earle, to repeal the law en-
powering the chief justice, when the
supreme court is not in session, and
the supreme court when in session,
to recommend the appointment to the
governor of a suitable person to pre-
side at a special court, or at a court
when the regular judge is unable, on
account of illness or death, to pre-
side, Senator Carlisle said:
s'The senator from Oconee need
not cite cases from other States, as
the supreme court of our own State
has spoken on this question and all
law-abiding citizens are bound by it,
the governor as we'll as the general
assembly,"
In reply to the position Of Senator
Earle that the present law had pro-
duced friction, Senator Carlisle said
that 1.-The friction was brought about
by the governor refusing to obey the
law enacted by the general assembly
and that if he would obey the law,
which he was sworn to do, all fric-
ton would stop. The failure of the
governor to obey the law which he
had sworn to obey was the cause of
the friction"
That puts the case succinctly and
lucidly.-Columbia State.

MOB HANGS FOUR NEGROES.
Takes Murder Suspects Out, Hangs
Them and Then Riddles Them.

Hamilton, Ca, Jan. pa mob or
100 men tonight broke into the Har-
ris jail, overpowering Jailer E. M.
Robertson and took four negroes,
three men and woman, out and hung
them to trees one mile from town,
They then riddled their bodies with
bullets. It is estimated that 500
shots were fired. Last Sunday after
noon while Norman Hadley, we'll to
do unmarried farmer, was sitting IN
his house alone a shot was fired
through the window and he fell dead.
That afternoon four negro tenants,
Belle Halfway, Joe Moore, Eugene
Halling and Dusty Crutchfeld were
arrested charged with the murder.
Sheriff Hadley, who is an uncle OF
the dead man, feared no 1ynching and
tonight he is in Columbus. Public
sentiment, however, had been crys-
talizing here all day and by night
fall there were a great many country
people in Hamilton. Their number
was constantly augmented, and .
o'clock fully 900 men had congregat-
cd in front of the court house IN
which the Jail is located. Despite
the pleas of Jailer Robertson, they
advanced on the calaboose and throw
ing him to one side broke the doors
down. The terrified negroes were
hustled out at the point of guns and
marched outside the town. There
they were quickly strung up. 1mme-
diately after they were silhouetted
against the sky, revolvers and rifles
blazed forth and fully 800 shots were
fired before the mob dispersed and
left it's prey to the winds.
The negroes protested their inno-
cence to the last but the mob would
have none of it. No motive for the
killing of Hadley, who was very pop
ular. can be advanced by the people
here.

A Great Corn Farm.

Think of it! Six thousand bushels
of corn gathered and three thousand
bushels more to gather is the record
of a Georgia farmer, not a man in
Kansas or Illinois. We know many OF
our all-cotton farmers will not believe
this. because they did not see it, and
many of them never saw this much
ear-corn in all their lives. Still, Mr.
Sid Phelan, of Crawford county,
Georgia, made this 'enviable record
for 1911.
One day about the middle of De-
cember We met Mr.. Phelan and, on
asking him how he was getting
along, he replied: Every well, but
it looks like I can not get through
gathering my corn. have gathered
5000 bushels and have 5000 more to
gather.
How did Mr.. Phelan grow this
enormous crop of corn? BY simply
developing the natural resources OF
the magnificent plantation that ne
bought few years ago for less than
five dollars per acre, because the
owner had allowed the place to run
down until it was almost worthless
Mr.. Phelan built a dyke Is feet high
and thre miles long to cut off the
hack water from Flint river. He
built tile factory and turned out
10000 feet of tile and drained 500
acres of bottom land, so that no"
it produces IS bushels of corn pei
acre instead of growing cane and bull
rushes as before. We have thous'
ands of acres in each Southern State
that only needs just such master
spirit to reclaim them and make then
produce like those of MIR. Phelan
We have thousands of farmers tha'
do not know what to do with thel1
cotton, but Phelan will have ne
trouble in selling his corn for a gooc
price. We trust that N proportion
to their area in cultivation, other:
will follow Mr.. Phelan's example TO-
1912 and for all future years.

Congressman Jas. F. Byrnes is ex-
actly right in his advocacy of federal
aid in the improvement of post roads.
1t is as clearly the province of the
government to build and improve
highways for the better distribution
of mail matter as it is to build post
Offices for the same purpose. We
know he will keep up the fight along
this line, and we wish him success.

A PATHETIC STORY.
Kept Husband at Telephone to Hear
Suicidal Shot.

Mrs. Nora Hauch, wife of Ulysses
Grant Hauch, an Inspector in the
department of agriculture, New York,
went for a sleigh ride with a friend
ON Thursday, returning to- her home
in Wadsworth Court apartments, No.
129 Wadsworth avenue, late in the
evening.
Hauch had not been told that his
wife was planning such ride and
that evening he scolded her roundly.
There was GOODNESS between the cou-
pie Friday morning when he left for
his Office. Just what conversation
passed between them Hauch will not
say, but to frighten- her he is be-
lieved to have told her that he would
not be at home that night.
Mrs. Hauch was respondent and
crying all Friday morning. At 3
O'Clock that afternoon she called
Hauch on the telephone, and with
endearing terms begged him to- come
back to her at once. !"
mo: am not going to come,7 he
said, meaning only to discipline her
by the threat.
CT beg of you to come" Mrs
Hauch pleaded.
NJ have made up my mind not TO-
replied Hauch.
"Well, I want you to hear some
thing that may interest you," Mrs.
Hauch cried over the wire "Just
hold the receiver a few seconds "
And she left the phone A short
while later she returned and asked:
"Now, dearest, can you hear per-
fectly?"
Eyes, can hear" answered
Hauch. What is it you want me to
hear?"
"Now, listen closely" Mrs. Hauch
said, maybe after you hear it, you'll
come home,' and over the wire
Hauch heard the report of revolver.
Fearing that his wife had shot her
self he made all possible haste to his
home.
The revolver shot had been heard
by the hall boy in the apartment
house. He rushed in to the Hauch
| apartments and found Mrs. Hauch
lying under the telephone. In her
hand was a revolver.
The police sent for a surgeon from
Washington Heights Hospital. He
said that Mrs. Hauch was dead, that
the bullet had passed through her
heart.
| Hauch came into the house, hoping
that his wife had fired the revolver
at the phone merely to frighten him
but the hall boy and a. policeman met
him and told him his wife was dead
Mrs. Hauch was thirty-four years
old. Since their marriage sever
years ago she and Hauch had beer
devoted to each other. The disagree
ment over the sleigh ride is said tc
have been the first they ever had.

new YEAR CARDS
AND CALENDARS

wv nth the New Year gradual
AA/ ly dawning we must not be
Wv caught unprepared to greet
It, Good wishes for the well
fare Of our friends during the coming
year must be conveyed by some
means or other. Very few people are
fortunate enough to have their friends
living near, that they may extend ver-
bally their wishes for the new year.
The next best medium for this pur-
pose is the New Years card. OF
course these cards may be purchased
at the shops, but it is very much
nicer to be original.
1t is rather an expensive PROPOSE
tion to buy these cards from artists If
the friends happen to be numerous.
Why not make them yourself?
Here are given few designs to be
used for New Years calendars. They
are pretty and dainty, much more at
Perrysburg journal. (Perrysburg, Wood Co., O. [Ohio]) 186?-1965, 1912-12-06

The small calendar pads can be
bought for two OF three cents. These
are fastened to the pictures with mu,
cilage.
January's emblem is the snowdrop
The next design introduces that white,
delicate blossom. Any subdued color
may be used for the background
against which the flowers are thrown
out in relief. The blossoms are a
pure blue white and the stems a DARK
green. The lettering may be blacA
or any dark, neutral color.
The sun-dial design is most appro
pirate and suggests much. We want
it to mark off only happy hours. You
desire to be friend as sincere and
true as the angle cast by the shadow
Of the sun. The climbing ivy is ever.
green and clings always to the trellis,

unless torn away by some outside
force. There is unlimited depth of
meaning connected with the sun dial.
The pedestal should be colored
white, to represent marble; the metal
angle Of the sun dial yellow or bronze
color, the ivy dark, rich green. The
background and numerals may be
tinted any color to suit the personal
taste.
These little calendars are sure to
be liked and admired by all who re.
ceive them. Take advantage of this
novel manner to express your New
Years greetings.

tractive than postcards. Not much
time is required to make them and
scarcely any expense besides the pa
per and water colors.
Have piece of carbon paper, some
smooth water color paper and the box
of water colors. Place the carbon pa
per between the design and the paper
and carefully trace the outline. A
replica of the design will be trans
ferred ready for tinting.
The snow scene would be effective
tinted in tones of brown or gray.
Make the path dull lead color, the
tall poplar trees dark gray, almost
black, and the sky blush gray. The
lettering could be of brown or gold.
