CAN THE GOVERNOR PARDON.

The municipal authorities OF
Columbia have recently awak
ened to the necessity of putting
a stop to the fast running OF
automobiles, and they seem to
have begun on the Governors
car. All visitors to Columbia
could help but notice the speed
automobiles travel in that city,
all of them run more than the
ordinance limit, yet they have
not been subjected to arrest un-
til after the Richland county
dispensaries did not re elect the
father of the Chief of Police to
a clerkshlp, when they failed
to do this the city police no
doubt under Instructions, kept a
watch on the Governors car
and waited too, until the Gov
ernor himself was in the car to
arrest his driver. It looks as if
there is some spite work on the
part of the city officials, which
has resulted in forcing into the
courts for their determination,
whether or not the Governor
has the power of pardon in cases
of conviction from municipal
courts. The Governor pardoned
his driver, and demanded the
fine of 1915 returned, this the
city refused to do, and further
it refused to recognize the Gov
ernor's right of pardon, in this,
the city is sustained by it's at
torney. 1t will be a very inter-
esting question and we hope
Governor Blease will push it to
a final determination. The con-
stitution gives the Governor of
the State full authority to par
don individuals convicted of
crimes or ofenses, but whether
this power extends to a munici-
pality has never been deter
mined in this State, and in the
States cited by the city's attor
ney the questions were entirely
different, and too, their consti-
tutions are not the same as ours,
in some of the States the con-
stitution does not vest the power
of pardon in the Governor, in
ours it does.

MAN FIGHTS vICIOUSLY.
The negro showed signs OF
fight and when the effort to catch
him continued fought viciously.
Finally, however, without any of
the mob being hurt and without
inficting any, injuries upon the
man further than a few bruises
of a minor nature, the burly
stranger, more animal in appear
ance than human. was overpow-
cred and tied hand and foot.
Quickly the news of the fight
with and the capture Of the man
spreadover the surroundingcoun-
try and people from adjoining
settlements and residing on small
farms and along the railroads in
all directions from Lanes juno
ton began to pour into that little
town to view the strange species
of human held in the barn of the
negro family.
Little groups and circles of
people, the blacks and the whites
to themselves, began to form ali
over the streets Of Lanes juno
ton, with here and there a larg-
er gathering of white men, with
a few awe. stricken negroes on
the outskirts who would listen
for a few moments to the trend
of the discussion, and then go
back to those Of their own race
to report.
MUCH LIKE AN ANIMAL.
The authorities Of Lanes juno
ton are following up every case
W h ere a criminal has been
thought to have hidden in Santee
Swamp. or where a negro has
strayed off and never heard of
again, in an effort to identify the
man.
The negro, it is said, will not
talk, glowering in ferocious,
suIlen manner at his questioners
at times, and at others appearing
wholly oblivious to the quiries
being propounded.
When any one goes near the
man he strains and tears at his
tethers and makes a throaty, hor-
rlble sound more like the growl
Of some terrible, man-eating
beast than of a human.

AMERICAN EXPORTS
LEADING IN AFRICA
Even Great Britain Is DistanCed
by United States.

Washington, Dec 27.-Success that
has marked the efforts of American
manufacturers to establish markets
for their exports in the Union of
South Africa, long considered to be
exclusive provinces for foreign trad
ers, completely refutes the assertion
that foreign competition is driving
Americans from the field in export
trade, according to a statement made
public by the department of com,
merce.
The rapid strides of American ex-
porters into the field of foreign trade
has caused note of warning to be
sounded throughout the United King
dom against American aggressiveness
in South Africa, the department as
serts.
Statistics are cited by the depart
ment showing that for the first time
in more than five years the United
States in 1912 outranked all other
foreign countries in imports into
South Africa.
Inroads of American commerce can
be successfully made in the field of
export trade, wherever the manufac-
turers set themselves ito the task,

This was followed by brilliant dis

A procession was then formed and

crowd had serenaded the visitor a
committee of members of parliament
and other popular leaders mounted
the balcony where De la Barra greet

HOPES TO SETTLE STRIKE
Secretary Wilson Sends Solicitor to
Calumet, Mich.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Secretary of
Labor Wilson has ordered John B.
Densmore, solicitor of the department,
to Calumet, Mich, to render any as
sistance possible in settling the cop
per strike situation. The Christmas
eve tragedy, in which seventytwo
lives were lost, the secretary said,
he thought was a matter for state in
vestigation.
Solicitor Densmore, ii was an
nounced at the department, was in
structed by Secretary Wilson to en-
deavor to bring about settlement of
the strike.
1T is almost inconceivable that any
one could be so inhuman as to plan
such a catastrophe, but whether 1t
was planned or the result of malicious
mischief | hope the facts will be
promptly brought to light the sec.
retary says in message to President
Moyer of the miners federation.

President Wilson, it is said, intends
to nominate John SHELTON Williams,
assistant secretary of the treasury, to
be comptroller of the currency, which
will be one of the most powerful of
fees in the government under the
new currency system. This brought
forth a statement that the choice
would meet with vigorous opposition
in the senate. Mr. Wilson's failure
thus far to nominate a comptroller
may prove to be one of the stumbling
blocks In the organization of the new
banking system. The question is
whether Thomas p. Kane, acting
comptroller, can serve with William
G. McAdoo, secretary of the treasury,
and David f. Houston, secretary OF
agriculture, as members of the or
ganization committee in putting the
scheme into working order.

This was the message that was sent
out to the world from Calumet as the

for the burial of the seyenty-two vic
tins of the panic which resulted from
false alarm of fire in Italian hall,
where 700 of the wives and children
of striking copper miners were max

tainment.
But despite this refusal of outside
aid contributions continued to pour
in. President Charles f. Meyer of
the Western Federation of Miners
has at his disposal more than 100000
for the relief of the families of vic
tins. The funeral expenses of all
who died in the panic will be paid
from this sum and the balance will
be returned to the senders.

Oysters come nearer in composition
to cows milk than do most other
meats. as all the four kinds OF nu-
trients needed are present in good de-
gree. Oysters have a larger excess of
the flesh building substance relative
to the other constituents than milk, SO
we balance the ration" by addition or

oysters, thus securing a good meal at
cost that compares favorably with
that when other meats are chosen
