When the members of the
governors congress, which re-
Gently convened in Richmond.

with President Taft, they were
entertained ut dinner by him.

graphed in front of the executive
Offices, the president, several
members of his cabinet and his
aides being in the group with the

veloped it was noticed that Gov

extreme end OF the front line of
governors, was not within the
focus of the camera and conse-
quently he did not appear in the
picture.

Fort Mill Times Correspondence.
The Christmas holidays Of 1912
have passed away quite pleasant
ly in THESE diggings. Everybody
seems to have mad a pleasant
time and a lot OF it. As Tor this
old sinner, he has Jared sump-
tuousIy and has been The re-
cipient of many nice presents.
for all Of which we are quite
thankful. Among them was a
fine hat, a box OF cigars and a
vial of "chili tonic" and while
we nave no cHiils we thought it
best to take Il sup of the tonic"
along for fear OF accidents. And
now as to cigars, an old soldier
who has long since passed away.
told us that it looked too much
like poor folks to be smoking an
Old clay pipe and as the cigars
were a present we have been
sitting here croSs-legged for a
whole week smoking them trying
to act the gentleman ike ricn
folks.
Miss Maye Coltharp, ofLykes-
land, spent the Christmas holi-
days with her parents here and
has returned to her work.
And 1912 is passed and gone
gone like the water that passes
down the stream gone to re-
turn no more, and with it some
have passed away that were
very near and dear to us, and
now let us all stop a while and
think how much good we have
done since last Christmas, how
many times have we tried to
make our kindred happy, rot
only our kindred but our neigh
bors and companions.

South Leads in Cotton Spinning.

The census bureau report on
the supply and distribution of
cotton shows that for the first
time in the history of the cotton
spinning industry the amount of
cotton used in Southern mills
exceeded that used in all other
States IN any one year, and that
the number of active spindles in
the South has increased a half
million over the number operated
last year.
The supremacy of the South in
this field ehcits from The Wall
Street Journal this comment:
Among the many phenomena
Of the past ~ months which to-
.gether have made this record
year, so far as material growth
and prosperity in the United
States are concerned, perhaps the
most astonishing is disclosed in
the latest report of the Census
Bureau at Washington. Accord
ing to that report the Southern
States in which the production
of cotton is the great agricultural
industry have now passed all the
other States of the Union in the
utilization of cotton for manu-
featuring pun poses. ="
The amount of cotton consumed
In the United States during the
year ending August 81, 1912, was
5,367, GIL bales, and of this
amount the quantity consumed
in all other States, other than
the South, was 2, 655, 049 bales.

Catawbas Have Christmas Tree.

Nowhere, perhaps, in this sec
tlon was Christmas Day more
thoroughly enjoyed than at the
Catawba Indian Reservation.
The days pleasure was made
possible through the kind fore
thought of Rev. and Mrs. S. r.
Brock and other Interested
friends. The exercises, held at
the home of Mrs. Nettie Owl,
were much enjoyed, consisting
of scripture reading, prayer, a
short talk by Mr.. Brock, hymns
and special Christmas selection
by Mr.. and Mrs. Wheelock and
Mr.. Harris. Chief Harris made
a short speech, expressing the
warm appreciation OF his people
for this Christian courtesy and
Tor that extended on previous
occasions.
Of special interest to all was
the Christmas tree, from which
was distributed to every man,
woman and child, bag of fruit
and confectionery. The happy
occasion will long be remembered
by all present.
Mr.. Brock was presented by
John Brown with a dressed rab-

Blease last week granted elem
ency to seventy-six persons in
the. penitentiary and scattered
) on chaingangs and in the jails
throughout the State, including
one to whom a pardon was grant
ed to restore citizenship. The
offences for which the prisoners
were serving terms ranged all
the way from murder down to
minor infractions of the law.
The convicts to whom clemency
was granted were liberated on
Tuesday in order that they might
eat dinner at home Christmas
day.
One man was pardoned to re-
store citizenship.
Seventeen were serving life
terms on the charge of murder.
Twenty-nine were serving
terms on the charge of man
slaughter.
Seven were serving terms on
tue charge of larceny.
Five were serving terms on
the charge of housebreaking and
larceny.
One was serving a term on the
charge of securing money under
false pretenses.
Nine were serving terms on
the charge of assault and bat
terry
One was serving a term on the
charge of bigamy.
Two We're serving terms on
the charge of rape.
Two were serving terms on
the charge of arson.
Five were serving terms on
the charge of burglary.
One was serving a term on a

and sentenced to five years or

and Sam Ballard, convicted at

name of Ussery, and sentenced
to life imprisonment in the State
penitentiary. The killing of U.s.

week in Barnwell and excited in
terest throughout the State.
Two negroes are now serving g
life sentences for the same of.

to meet US. The animal was trotting
gently along, his large, benevolent

the hard roadway. No sooner, how

across gullies, over fallen logs and

Continued from last week.

Those of our readers who have kept
up with Zebulums story, as told by
h mself and given in this department
from week to week, will remember
that we left the prospective BRIDE
groom, together with the prospective
BRIDE and the prospective officiating
minister, skedaddling down the road,
going at full tilt, three a breast,
making long and rapid strides in the
direction of the little town of Fords
Ferry, on the Ohio. 1t will be re-
membered, too, that short distance
behind them rushed the sheriff, the
town marshal, the deputy, Solomon
Wiggleford and HighfieId Jones, with
strides no less long or rapid. loud yells
of anticipated victory emanating from
their five dust-covered mouths-all
da hing madly on, determined to over
take the scoundrel who struck Bobby
Broadway and put his light out, the
majesty of the law and the dignity of
the Commonwei It'll being thus tram
uled under the said scoundrel's feet.
But we will again let Zebulum con-
tinue his own story, after his own
fashion.
Brother Marrow" continued Zebu-
lum, twas a Cumberland Presbyterian
minister and was, in those days, one
of the best known preachers in this
part of the country. He was great
revivalist and was loved, not only by
the members of his own church, but by
others as well. Although | was, as l
have said, a member of the old school
branch of the church-having perhaps,
a firmer faith in the doctrine of the
foreordination of whatever events
come to pass. and little clearer in
sight as to the destiny of certain nom
elect individuals when they are ursher-
ed, like the unfortunate Bobby Broad
way, out of this rough-and-tumble
world Squire Brownlow and his tami-
", including Nell, were Cumberlands.
1t was this fact, mainly, that caused
Brother NARROW to have the good for
tune to be chosen to perform the mar
riage ceremony between Nell and me-
provided, of course, he could get
favorable opportunity for doing so.
"As the three of us plunged on down
the road toward Fords Ferry, with the
sheriff and his followers short dis
lance behind us, also plunging and go
ing in the identical direction, yelling
like raging hienas, the prospects look
ed dark from the viewpoint of either
the minister, the would-be bridegroom
or the would-be bride.
However, as glanced back and
saw that we.were almost holding our
own with our feet-footed and deter
mined pursuers. took fresh courage.
Taking a little firmer grip on NelPs
hand and suggesting to Brother Mar
low that he do the same, we plunged
on with increased speed. The road
was now down-grade and we went
down the hill lickaty split, leaving
great clouds of dust behind US, Broth

pied hand clutching the thin air. but
