number Of photographs OF new school
buildings in the county, showing the
progress that the county is making
in erecting new educational buildings.
We were encouraged in our desire
to have thiS edition by the hope that
IT would serve as an incentive to the
people Of IAurens county to attempt
even more and greater things along
educational lines and by the desire to
give what assistance we could to the
COUNTY superintendent Of education
and the rural school supervisor in
the laudible work they are doing for
the school children OF this county.

peared for Brown and presented the
case. showing the proper notices had
been given to all the members and the
law strictly complied with.
His petition for a pardon was based
on newly-discovered evidence at
tempting to discredit the character
and reputation OF the prosecutr s
witness, he having statements from
certain persons bearing on the wo-
mans moral character. Evidence was
produc d to show that the verdict of
the Jury was a great surprise.
Secretary OF State Miller asked as
TO the sentence of life imprisonment
when the penalty is death in such
cases. Attorney-General Wolcott,
who was present not to oppose or
favor the pardon, stated that the law
provided that where mercy was rec
commended by tho jury the court
could impose the life sentence rather
than the death penalty. Secretary
Miller gave it as his opinion that he
was in favor Of the death penalty in
such cases where the facts we're prov
en- and for that reason asked the
question.
The case was continued until neXi
Tuesday in order that the past repu.
tation of Brown might be looket
