BLEAsE WARNS PRIsoN BOARD.
Has the Power to Remove Them il
they Lease Convicts.

Columbia, Aug. 30.-A strong and
significant warning to the peniten-
tiary board not to make any contract
leasing the convicts now employed
in the hosiery mill to any party or
corporation agreeing to establish a
leather or woodworking plant within
the penitentiary walls was given to
the members OF the board OF direc-
tors Of the State penitentiary to-day
in letter from Governor Blease
He told them he would not stand for
the convicts to be leased to anybody
for any kind Of work, and empha-
sized the strength Of his opposition
by referring them to that provision
OF the State Constitution giving the
Governor the right to remove the
board OF. directors and superintend-
ent of the penitentiary from office
until the next session of the General
Assembly. "A word to the wise" :"
the Governor significantly says,
should be sufficient"
The penitentiary board decided the
other day to call for bids for leasing
the convicts at their next meeting
on September 10. The hosiery mill
contract expires November l and
some disposition must be made Of
the 200-odd convicts now employed

Il. f. Cochran to Resign.

Anderson, Sept. Ernest +.
Cochran, for eight years district at
torney for South Carolina, will ten
der his resignation to President Will
son in the next few days, to become
effective at some time to be designat-
ed by the President. Amour cement
to this effect came from Mr. Coch-
rams law Office here to-day. Mr..
Cochran is at Watkins, Tenn, IN ac-
count Of his health, but it Is exp ccted
that he will return to Anderson soon.
The reason given for Mr.. Cochran's
decision tC retire is that conditions
have arisen which have caused the
present administration to consider 1t
desirable to make some changes in
the Federal offices in South Carolina,
and he does not care to staId in the
way of the administrations plans.
His term Of office does not expire
until February 10, 1914.
Mr.. Cochran was appointed assist
ant district attorney by President
Harrison, and later he was appoint
ed district attorney by President NC
Kinley. He served through the ad-
ministrations Of Mckinley, Roosevelt
and Taft. 1t is his plan, after his re-
tirement, to devote all OF his time to
his law practice in Anderson. Mr.
Cochran probably had a larger expe-
rience in the work Of the district at.
torney's office Of South Carolina than
any of his predecessors. He has
made an enviahle reputation and the
government will lose the official ser.
vices of a good servant when he re.
tires from the Office.

MAN MEETS HoRRBLE DEATH.
Was Burned to a Crisp While in
Drunken Stupor.
(Anderson Mail, 2d.)

F. w. Jones, a white man about so
years old, was burned to death in his
home on the outskirts Of the town of
Pendleton, and his house, with all it
contained, was destroyed Saturday
night about 11.30 o'clock in a fire
supposed to have been started
through his carelessness.
1t is said that Jones had been
drinking heavily in the afternoon and
had run all Of his family, consisting
of his wife and six children, away
from home. He then went back to
town, remaining until $50, when he
went home for the night. One of
his sons, a boy of about Is years,
slipped into the house at time when
his father was not noticing, to get his
clothes, and says that a big fire had
been kindled in tile love and a
chicken killed and left lying nearby
to be prepared for supper.
1t is supposed that the house
caught from the fire in the stove, and
that Jones was in such condition that
he could not get out of the house af-
ter the flames had reached the bed on
which he was lying, or that he was
unconscious Of them altogether in his
stupor.
When the son went back for his
clothes he found the horse his father
had ridden in the stable. This
building was out of the reach Of the
fire, but the house Of four rooms,
with all it contained, was consumed,
the fire not being discovered until
there was no chance to save anything.
Jones was farmer and lived on
rart Of the Shanklin old, place, just
outside the town Of Pendleton. When
found after the fire, his body was but
a charred mass of bone and flesh. The
funeral and burial were held Sunday
afternoon at the Methodist church.
