THENEWS AT BENSON.
Fans Disappointed--Dr.
ClinkscaleS to Lecture.

Benson, July 15:-The Benson base
ball team was on the ground in ship
shape, keen for combat with the
Kingstree nine last Saturday after
noon. A large crowd of fans-most-
ly young ladies-was present. To
encourage the boys on both sides a
barrel of ice-cold lemonade was pro-
vided to quench the thirst of the
players. The diamond, which is COW
cred with beautiful green carpet
of native grass, was moved down
to close crop that the grounders'
hot from the bats Of the sluggers
would not be obstructed until they
had spent their force or were picked
up by the alert players. However.
with all this careful preparation for
the welcome and care of the visiting
team, it failed to come, neither did
they courteously write a reason for
their failure to meet their engage
ment.
The past week has been an ideal
one for the farmer. Cotton has been
worked out clean of grass. Tobacco
curing has been in progress. The
corn crop has been laid by for some
time and is doing excellently well.
The majority of our farmers are
strong on the pea crop.
A few in this section are making a
test of the incubation theory. Oc-
casionally it is the case that the pea
does not thrive on some plots Of land
as on others. These are the places
that are being tested. The nitrogen
gathering bacteria. (which take nj
trogen from the air must be present
in the soil before a satisfactory
growth of peas car be made. With
exceptions, however, our soil grows
peas without incubation.
DrJ G Clinkscales of Wofford COL
lege is expected to lecture at Cedar

Carlisle, 73 years old, who was tried
and convicted at Greenville in Octo-
Der, 1910, on two of 162 indictments
for displacement of the funds of the
National Bank of Newberry. of which
he was president. The President COM
muted his sentence with the privi-

It appeared that continued imprison-

prisoners health. But Governor
Blease has requested the President to
grant Carlisle an absolute pardon on

The Dispensary Election.
Editor County Record

Editor County Record
was glad to read the article in
last weeks Record concerning the
coming dispensary election and hope
it received the attention of those to
whom it was addressed. | now have
an appeal to make, not alone to vot-
ers, but to all Christians of the coun-
ty, both women and men. A few of
US have begun a prayer circle,agree-
ing to pray that this whiskey dispen-
sary shall never again be legalized
thing in our county. We would like
our circle to include every Christian
in the county. Surely in this i'm
portant matter, We can turn aside
for q few minutes every day and lift
our hearts in prayer to God that He
will deliver our fathers, brothers
and husbands from taking the re-
sponsibility of this accursed business
upon themselves, which they would
do if they voted to legalize it. One
of the reasons that we see 80 few
answers to our prayers is that we do
not pray for definite things and do
not expect God to answer US. Let
US prove Him in this matter. He
does listen to His children when
they call. He tells US that He is
more ready to listen than we are to
ask. Of course, He does not always
see that it. is wise to give US the
things we ask for, but if this volume
of prayer goes up to God each day
from earnest hearts, we may feel
safe as to the outcome of the elec-
ton, and. certainly. Gods answer
could not be a whiskey dispensary.
How often we have heard that the
devil trembles when he sees the
weakest Christian on his knees
Have you ever noticed that this is
true? The real whiskey element
would be sorry indeed if they knew
this appeal would be needed. May God
add His blessing to this appeal of

THURSDAY. JULY II, 1913
A Well Merited Parole.

Through the efforts of E l. Hirsch'
ESQ, Governor Blease recently pa
rolled Sam Speights, the one-armed
negro, who on February 16, 1912,
went to the aid of Mr. W S Grayson,
then jailor, and by his timely aid,
probably saved Mr. Grayson's life.
1t will be recalled that on the occa-
sion referred to, several negro prls-
oners attacked Mr. Grayson Just as
he entered the steel cage where the
prisoners were confined, and Sam
Speights, with rare courage and
presence of mind, ran out OF the
cage, turned the key on the strug-
Cling men inside and hurried to the
Sheriff's office to report the sltua-
ton and turned over the key to that
official. When the insurgent pris-
oners realized their situation they
desisted from their attack on MIR
Grayson and all was quiet when
Sheriff Graham arrived on the
scene. At the ensuing term OF
court, which convened a few days
later, Speights was convicted on a
charge of assault and battery with
intent to ll(according to our recol-
lection) and sentenced to seven
years on the chaingang. At the
time the parole was granted he had
served about sixteen months OF his
sentence.
While we oppose the wholesale
abuse of the pardoning power that
has obtained under the Blease regime,
yet, in this case, we believe the
Governor did right, and that all
who are familiar with the circum-
stances will commend his exercis-
ing clemency in behalf of Speights.

WHO WAS
ROBIN HOOD?

ROBIN Hood lives with us as a lit
erary mystery. The romantic career of
this knight Grant is known to us al
O entirely through the many and
varied stories that have been told of
MIN by the rOmancer and the poet.
u he actually existed as Robin Hood
history Is very vague regarding him.
IT is q we'll known fact that many
o. the popular ballads regarding
Robin Hood are tradition, such az
those of the Arthurian cycle .Hynd
r n others. which were simply
aDrfdgments of older metrical ro-
mances. These romances were too long
TO be fntOned or recited at a single sit
ting. and were therefore shortened by
the Ministries and fitted to tunes. Of
which there are some still in existence.
