The Pardonins Power.-Anciently In
England the right Of pardoning Of
lenses within certain districts was
claimed by the lords Of Marches and
others who had jura regalia by an
cient grants from the crown or by pre-
scription. The prerogative was later
vested in the king, who was intrusted
with it upon special confidence that he
would spare only those whose cases,
could 1t have been foreseen, the law
itself would have excepted out Of the
genera rule.
At the present day in England par
don may and commonly does proceed
from the crown, through the home Sec
retary, although steps relieving the
king Of part at least Of this duty
have already been taken.
In the United States the Federal
constitution gives the president the
power to grant reprieves and pardons
against the United States, except in
cases of impeachment" In Some of
the states the pardoning power is Civ
en- to the executive alone, in others 1t
is given to the executive with the ad-

Made Resisning Easy.-When Dele
gate Mark Smith of Arizona was a
bow he lived on a big plantation In
Kentucky. 1t was in slave days, and
one of his fathers slaves was Uncle
Ike. who was the preacher for the
place.
Smiths father had built a small
church on a corner Of the plantation,
and Uncle Ike held forth there every
Sunday. This was pleasing to Ike
because it not only gave him chance
to exhort the negroes, but it absolved
him from any Of the Sunday chores.
One Sunday Mark went out by the
barn and found Uncle Ike sitting dis
consolately under a tree.
Look here, Ike" said Mark, why
amt you down there preaching?"
well, Mars Mark" Ike replied
'I amt goin' to preach to dem mig
gahs no more. They's always fightin'
'mongst theyselves, an I'm sick an
tired, an done quit preachin.
stop your lying, Ike" said Mark.
You wouldn't quit such a soft snap
as that. What's the matter?"
"Well, Mars Mark" Ike replied
"ef you mus know, dem trifin' mig
gahs done sent me my resignation"

show that there was low standard of
morals and an unhealthy condition of
civic righteousness where men are
convicted and punished for petty theft
and yet others, because of certain So
cial and political prominence. were al
lowed to go free"
DR.. Burts is right in saying that such
verdicts indicate a low general stand
ard Of morals. But 1t Is also true that
however high our standard of morals
may become, so long as criminals are
allowed to select their jurors or por-
ton of their jurors from among their
sympathizers, we will have verdicts
which outrage justice, and comfort the
lawless.-Baptist Courier.

Notes and Comments About Matters
OF Local Interest.
Gaffney Ledger, Juno Fl: DR.. B. r.
Brown received a message early We'd
nesday morning to the effect that his
father, Mr.. T. c. Brown, Of Pacolet,
was dead. Mr.. Brown was n years Of
age. His health was good and 1t was
not known that he was Ill, death oc-
Cured while the deceased was stand
ing in field. The deceased is surviv-
ed by his wife and five children. Dr.
Brown left at once for Pacolet and
Mrs. Brown went yesterday. The in
terment will take place today at noon.
A very sad death occurred in
this city Monday morning when Mrs.
Cora Jones, the wife Of Mr.. william
Jones, died at her home on Oak street.
Mrs. Jones had been ill for some time
and there had been but little hope for
her recovery, however, the family and
her hundreds of friends were unpre-
pared for the great shock which came
with the announcement that this saint
" woman was no more. The deceased
was 40 years of age and is survived by
a husband and several children.
Chester Reporter, June Fl: Fire COM
pletely destroyed the residence occu-
pied by J. Foster Carter Wednesday
evening causing a loss Of household
furnishings of about $4,000, upon which
there was $1,000 insurance. The house
was the property Of Mrs Sallie Triplett
Morris, of Petersburg, Va, and was
one of the largest apd at one time the
finest in Chester and valued at $4,000
with $4,000 insurance. The fire origi-
mated in the roof of the kitchen from
a defective fiue. "A fourth Of July
celebration Is being planned for Ches-
ter, which will include several good
horse races, a tournament by the To-
cal cavaliers, and several old-fashioned
features which are apt to prove more
enjoyable than ultra-modern airship
flights and automobile parades. It's
pleasant, once in a while, to turn back
to old fashioned things. 1t is to be
hoped that those interested in the cele-
bration will get the noisest brass band
to be had, and that the local supply of
peanuts and soda-water will prove
ample.

Stride of Seienee.-There was a thin
and nervous woman who could not
sleep. She visited her physician and
he said:
did you eat anything just before
going to bed?"
"Oh, no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
piled.
WELL" said the physician, "just
keep a glass of milk and some biscuit
beside you, and every night the last
thing you do make a light meal"
but, DOCTOR" cried the lady, you
told me on no account to eat anything
before retiring"
Pooh, pooh," said the doctor, that
was three months ago. Science has
made enormous strides since then"

A Pig in q Poke.--A pig poker Is
dealer in pigs-not the large and port
ly fellow whom you meet now and
again at the country market with a
cargo of a hundred or more pigs Of
all ages, shapes and sizes for sale, but
a little man, who, for the most part,
carries his wares upon his back, or oc-
casionally perhaps in a wheelbarrow.
A poke" Of course is pocket or
sack, and a pig poker therefore Is one
who deals in pigs carried round from
place to place in a poke. The old prov
erb anent the foolishness Of buying
a pig in a poke" has its Origin, Of
course, in this time honored method
Of pig purveying.-London Globe.

Uncle Sans Job.-Senator Swanson
of Virginia says that undeserving men
often receive government jobs.
Their attitude is like that OF old
Uncle Sam, who has been seen for sew
eral days patiently sitting on the
bank of the Rappahannock River,
near the dam, holding his shotgun In
his hand.
Finally, he attracted the attention
of a passerby, who asked:
well, Uncle Sam, are you looking
for something to do
mo, sah," answered Sam. Use git
tin paid TO what Ise doin.'"
Indeed" said the other. "And
what may that be?"
"Shootin' de muskrats dat am under
mining de dam," answered Sam.
why, there goes one now!" ex-
claimed the stranger excitedly. why
don't you shoot?"
"S'pose I wants t lose ma job
subj" answered Sam complacently.-

AN ANGEL OF THE CURB.
A Crippled Nswsboy Gets Financed to
Fine Wheel Chair.

FlHo WHO'D SndTs
Little Harry the Cripple" who for
several years has been hobbling about
the Wall street district selling news
papers, has been made happy through
the generosity of a man whose name he
does not know.
Harry, who is IA, was standing in
front Of the Broad street curb market
one day last week when a man walked
up and said:
Say sonny, how would one Of those
wheel chairs do in helping you sell
your papers?"
"Fine!" said Harry, after drawing q
swift mental picture of such a chair.
"All right, my boy" said the stran-
ger. Then, hailing a taxicab. he COM
manded, Get in here"
Ten seconds afterward Harry was
being whisked uptown. At a store
where wheel chairs for invalids are
sold Harry and his new-found friend
alighted. When they emerged the
cripple was the proud possessor Of as
fine a wheel chair, as money could by
Yesterday he was about the finan-
cial district, moving swiftly among the
takes and other vehicles. radiant with
smiles.
To a reporter for the World he ex-
planned that he had been a cripple from
hip disease since he was eight months
old.
my father died about five years
ago." he said, land left my mother
and me, my sister, who is now IL, and
my brother, who Is 9. had to get out
and help support them, so took te
selling papers. I've been doing it evei
since. 1t was mighty hard to gel
around in the crowds on my crutches
but now can do 1t faster than some
fellows with good legs"
With that he gave a sharp turn tc
his control wheel and sped toward
prospective customer

vice or consent of council or other
body, and in still others the power is
given to pardoning boards.
1t has been held, however, that the
pardoning power Is not naturally or
necessarily an executive function, and
that. where the constitution is silent, 1t
vests no more in one branch Of the
government than in the other. Upon
the principle that the executive has
only the pardoning power expressly
given by the constitution, the legisla-
tive right to exercise the power has
been sustained. 1t may be stated gen.
orally that the decisions seem to be in
favor Of the legislative power to grant
pardons before conviction, but that,
while not altogether reconcilable as to
legislative power to grant them after
conviction, they are, on the whole,
against such power.-Case and Com
ment.

Our Chief capital-William Null
doom, the noted health specialist, said
in a recent interview in New York:
1.-The health of the average Ameri-
can is far below what 1t was gener-
alton ago. The trouble Is that we
Americans put dollars ahead of health,
ahead of life, ahead Of everything.
They say that European, landing
for the first time in New York, once
asked a native:
what is the capital Of this coun-
try, sir?'

tai is,' the native replied, but, any
how, its all in Pierpont Morgan's
hands,"

the division Office he saw crowd of
conductors standing around. What's

not hear them distinctly. He was told
to speak plainly and to turn toward

SUMMER DRINKS
Carbonated Water Does Not Kill tho
Germs in Beverages.

S6FmS IN beverages.
The summer days will soon be here
again, bringing with them both the
joys and dangers Of the heated sea-
son. Among the special requisites of
the warm weather are the carbonated
beverages, with soda water" in It's
various manifestations as a most con-
spicuous type.
To a very large class Of our popula
tion these nonalcoholic drinks appeal
so strongly as refreshing and innocu-
Gus forms of fluid intake that their
purity and harmlessness ought to be
Adequately safeguarded. In respect to
the presence Of preservatives, artificial
coloring matter, saccharin and SINH
lar sophistications the summer bev-
erages" have been subjected to
careful control by the various author
tiles intrusted with the enforcement of
food laws. But there appears to be
current misapprehension in respect
to their bacteriologic features which
needs to be corrected.
There Is said to be a tradition
among bottles of carbonated soft
drinks, founded, as far as can be
learned, on very meager experimental
data, that the conditions under which
these beverages are prepared are de-
|structive to bacteria.
There has likewise been an unwar-
ranted Indifference to the bacterials
contamination of many bottled waters
whose sparkling appearance and at
tractive labels have commended them
without regard for the possibility OF
danger lurking within. The basis for
the assumed safety of the carbonated
waters presumably rests on the state
ments that carbon dioxid under pres
sure is highly destructive to germs.
This question has been investigated
with respect to two well-known dis
Sc germs The Investigations of Young
and Sherwood at the Kansas Univer-
sity Water Laboratories show that,
although there was a marked reduc-
tion in the number of germs intro
duced into both carbonated and un-
carbonated waters with sirup. they
were not all killed. They state that
inasmuch as only "the most hardy
individuals can resist these adverse
conditions for a considerable length
of time, the logical conclusion Is that
no water should be used in the manu-
facture of a carbonated drink that Is
i'm the least suspicious, and II doubt
full water is the only source Of supply
this should be subjected to treatment
by some method of sterilization with
subsequent filtration through a trust
worthy an deficient er"-Journal
