Columbia, May 26.-Governor Blease
has paroled Bob Golden, a NeWoerry
negro. The history of the case is
given in the official reasons stated
by the governor, as follows:
Golden, Bob, (colored).-ConVicted
at March, 1911, term of general ses-
sions court for Newberry county,
Judge R. C. Watts presiding, OF man
slaughter, and sentenced to serve upon
the public works three years and six
months.
columbia, S. c., May goth, 1913.
s'Hon. Cole. l.. Blease, Governor OF
South Carolina, Columbia, S. c.
Dear Sir: In the case of Bob Cold
en-, convicted in March, 1911, before
me, at Newberry, OF manslaughter, and
sentenced tc serve three years and
six months, after reviewing the testi-
mony and refreshing my mind upon
the case, I recommend that Golden
be paroed, for the following reasons:
"The testimony showed that the diff
fcultv started in play brought on by
the deceased, Cain Henderson, and
that Cain Henderson was drunk and
during the play got mad and began
cursing and the defendant cursed Cain
and the result was somewhat in the
nature of a mutual combat, brought
on, however, by Cain Henderson in his
drunken condition. The defendant l
understand, has already served two
wears and two months of his sentence
and T am informed that he has made a
good prisoner and has been trusty
during practically his entire service.
Under all the circumstances, I an OF
the opinion that his good conduct, In
view of the testimony, entities him to
a parole at this time.
Respectfully,
.signed) R. C. Watts,
Presiding Judge"
Also the following in letter from
Solicitor Cooper, who prosecuted the
case:
"I have so much confidence in the
fairness as we'll as in the judgment
of Judge Watts, that I am constrained
to concur in the views expressed in
his letter. l think this whole trouble
arose over too much Christmas whis-
kew and that probably in this regard,
the deceased was more at fault than
the defendant. l think that the testl-
mony technically makes out case of
murder, but that substantial justice
is reached in a conviction of man
slaughter, and in view of Goldings'
good conduct, I shall not oppose Gle
mency in his behalf, but as above
stated, concur in the views expressed
by Judge Watts
Upon this showing defendant was
paroled, May %, 1913, during good
behavior.

G. Woodward and Charles c. Jones,
PROPRIETOR of a near beer saloon in

The Developments of today added
to the stir created yesterday when it
was disclosed that the telephone de-

Fielder, prominent local attorney
who is interested in the prosecution
of the Mary Phagan case; G. c. Feb

The publication today in the At

Mayor Woodward and Jones were
subjected to the telephone device at
different intervals on the same day

George M. Gentry, the stenographer
who reported the alleged conversation
of Mayor Woodward. states that Feb
uary, Colyar and E. o. Miles, an

ference with the mayor.
The record of this conference
quotes Mayor Woodward as saying he
was seeking evidence against the po-
lice department and particularly
against Chief of Police James L.
Beavers, who was identified with the
movement last fall which resulted in
eliminating the segregated district
from the city.
Mayor Woodward is quoted in the
report of the conference as saying,

Little Rock, June 3.-The Arkan-

man who had suffered from chronic

to doctor who appeared to under

pected a cure. The patient, in the
excess of his gratitude, wrote to the
medico asking him to dinner. In due
course the reply came, but in such
undecipherable handwriting that the
recipient could not make head nor
tail of it. Was the doctor coming, or
was he not?

was called in to assist but could

THE NEW LIQUOR LAW AND
THE REFERENDUM.

In holding that the bill passed by
the last legislature, under which no
license to sell liquor in Arkansas may
be secured except on petition signed
by majority of the adult white in
habitants, is not subject TO the refer
endum, Attorney General Moose says
his conclusions are not based on au-
thority, which was lacking as a guide,
but was founded on what he consid-
ers right and reason.
1t is argued that this act is subject
to the referendum, first, because the
emergency clause does not contain the
word Immediate" which is in the
constitutional formula. But Attorney
General Moose says the Supreme
Court has decided that it is not neces-
sary to use the exact language of the
constitution, provided it appears from
the language used that the legislature
found that an act was necessary for
the immediate preservation of public
1t is argued further that as the
emergency clause attached to this
measure provides that the act shall
take effect from and after December
81, 1913, there can be no present ne
cessity to be met by the act.
AS to this the attorney general says
that immediate" in this case must be
construed with reference to the con-
dition and circumstances of the liquor
traffic, which it was intended to regu-
late He says further that at the
time the act was passed the liquor
dealers had paid large sums of money
for licenses to do business during the
year 1913 and it may be assumed that
many of them had made contracts for
the rent of the houses; that while the
legislature had the power if it did
not have the moral right, to make the
act effective at once, it postponed the
taking effect of the measure until the
expiration of the present licenses and
from considerations of justice and
fairness to the liquor dealers. The
attorney general adds that it is true
beyond all question that the last leg
islature did not intend that the act
should he referred to the voters 9th
erwise the emergency clause would not
have been added at all.
Under proceedings that have al
ready been begun by the liquor inter
ests the courts will decide whether
the emergency clause attached to the
measure is defective. But it seems
there can be no doubt that, as the at
torney general says, the legislature
intended that the act should not be
subject to the observation-disclosures
