associations resulting from his sixteen
years service as harbor commissioner,
he preferred to retain that position,
and resigned from the board of trus-
tees and was reappointed harbor COM

found that he had been sent up from
Georgetown county nearly ten years
ago tor life for breaking into ne

that, under all the circumstances, the
negro had been amply punished, and
he was paroled during his good be-
