staunch and true friend Of the mill
workers. but when 1t comes to the
pardon and parole business the wish
es and pleas Of the mill man can look
no better than anybody else's. Wit
ness the following letter from w A.
Mooney. cotton mill operative,
which was printed In last weeks is
sue of the Greer News-Leader:
Il would like to ask you for space
In your paper to give one Of the many
instances where Governor Blease has
used the pardoning power without
any just cause. The case 20 which I
refer is the one in which Ambrose
Scruggs was pardoned for the murder
Of my son. Clarence Mooney. in the
year 1911. The facts. briefly stated,
are these: Scruggs and two other
men induced my boy to go with them
on fishing trip. They foully mur-
dered him. according to the evidence
given at the trial and Scruggs was
found guilty Of manslaughter and
sentenced to five years in the pen. He
appealed but lost his case After
moved to Victor mill / heard of sns
effort being made to secure a pardon
for him.and had Mr.. J.. E. Blanton,
who was at that time close friend
OF Governor. Blease. to call him up
over the phone, and ask what steps
we should take to keep Scruggs from
being pardoned. The governor told
Mr. Blanton to get UP petition in
opposition to theirs and get the Jury
to Sign 1t I did this, and not only
secured the name Of every Juror, but
the name OF his wife. and many said
1t was the largest petition they, had
ever seen. The governor assured Mr..
Blanton that II he would get this kind
OF petition that Scruggs would never
be pardoned as long us he was gov.
ernor.
81 accepted his assurances and
went back to work intthe mill. After
O lapse OF two or three weeks Il wae
approached In the mill by represen.
tative of Scruggs offering nice sum:
OF money to sign Ills petitiEfia to the
governor for the release of Scruras.
But alas. to the disgrace of South

The Limit

One OF the shining stars of The H.
tellfgencer Office was on Il street car
yesterday and avOws that he saw the
following take place: The conductor
came through the car collecting fares,
and held out his hand to an elderly
lady sitting near the front OF the car.
The old lady looked up. seized his
hand and said, We'll. am sure glad
to see you young man. and to see you
SO polite and friendly but l believe
yol have the tdvantage of me- 1 don't
remember ever having seen you be-
fore" The conductor was much en-
barrassed and had a time explaining
to the cordial old soul that he wanteo
her fare.
Anderson may not enforce all tile
lawc as we'll as SHE might and possi-
bly, Anderson's police force isn't the
very best in the whole shining worIu
but 1t Is certainly better than some.

been indicted for relling liquor and

charge.
wv Ot lhACC JOuh6 iuSu were
ctrolling up the street yesterday af-
ternoon when one turned to another
member OF the party, very popular
teweler In Anderson and asked tile
hour. The jeweler flushed a little
and squirmed like an eel on q hook,
finally admitting that he did not carry
q watch himself,
II some Anderson merchant and
other buSlness men In the city only
knew 1t they could learn O valuable
lesson by taking trip over to Will
liameton and spying out a large Sign
over business house there. This
sign atatey In letters a foot high, so
that "he who nuns may read" that It
Is the firm OF Smith & Smith and says
eWe Git Up. and Git, We Don't JUST
Sit Up and Sit" That is wholesome
advice. ~ q
One OF the county candidates said
yesterday that he, wished every. mar,

was asked he replied that he had

FIGHTING THE SOUTH

Woodrow Wilson is being abuse,:.
because OF his loyalty, to the South.
Many South hating newspapers in the
North are protesting against tho ef-
forts OF the administration to help
the Southern cotton farmer I. avoid
ruin. The Hartford. (Conn.) Courant
snys:
I'VE called attention on Satur-
day to the fact that the Demo-
cratic leader Of the national
house and number of the lead
ing Democratic senators united
In q public call to the cotton
planters advising them to hold
back their cotton from market 30
as to raise the prices. This was
manifestly scheme for increas-
Ing prices OF cotton and so for in
creasing prices of cotton and SO
for increasing the price OF cloth
ing. DID Tie sympathetic nnn
indignant administration de-
nounce such an outrage? Never
peep 1t was for the South.
The South hating newspaper does
not know conditions. The new crop
Of cotton is just coming In. us nor
NAL price would be IA cents 'tased on
the census forecast Of cop os II, $780,
900 bales. Tint Is the actu,l value OF
the cotton.
1t cost the Southern farmer nearly
10 cents pound to produce this
crop. for the crop conditions have MT
been favorable. II the market goes
below 10 cents, he will not only get
no profit with which to start a new
crop year. hut he will lose what he
has.
The president Of the United States
realizes that 1t would be an act OF
dishonesty 20 see the struggling. long
suffering southern planter lose his all
II the government can help him to
put the price Of cotton on an honest
basis. That Is all there is to the pro-
position. And we need trained men
In congress- now more than at any 9TH
er time to hold up the hands Of the
| administration In the effort to save
the Southern, cotton farmer.

Action Will Establish Precedent For Remainder of War-lf U. S. is Not Favored Objections

WASHINGTON, Nov 7.-The Unit ed States will officially await with more than ordinary interest the rul- ing of the British prize court at Gib- raltar upon the copper and rubber shipments consigned to Italian firms aboard the American steamer Kroon- land but unloaded at Gibraltar by di- rection of the British authorities be- fore the vessel was allowed to con. tinue her voyage The ruling is ex- pected to form a precedent which will have an important bearing on all con traband cases arising during the Flu ropean war.
 What action the prize court might be on shipments of this character was not intimated in British statements. It is assured here that American own CTS will be represented at the prize court, but if not the American consul will go before the court as an ob- server.
 If the decision is adverse to Am erican interests. a protest may be lodged with the state department to be forwarded to the British foreign office. While no word has been re- ceived to that effect. the state de- pertinent officials believe the Kroon- land will continue her voyage to Ital- ian ports as soon as released She carried 1,20 passengers

Everything is ready for the big Fl PasoPhoenix automobile race. which will start from El Paso this morning and end. temporarily, at Bisbee. There are thirty cars in the race and they will begin to leave the Pass City at a. m., at intervals of five min utes. The first ones should get in here between l and 2 o'clock with the remaining ones filtering in during the afternoon and night All will stay here over night and will leave to- morrow morning, beginning at 6, at intervals of five minutes and in the order in which they arrived. It is estimated twenty of the thirty cars which start will reach Bisbee and about fifteen get to Phoenix.
 It is believed the time of the race will be considerably cut down from last year. It was at the rate of ap- proximately 90 1-2 miles per hour, net time for the 517 miles. The distance from Fl Paso to Bisbee is 2S0 miles and from Bisbee to Phoenix 237. In Fl Paso bets of to 1 are being made that better time will be made than last year, and to that the average time will be cut down two miles per hour.
 It is known that the road from here to Phoenix is much faster than last year. There have been no heavy rains. as far as known along the course the past few days, though there are some bad places.
 The racers will be Tagged down just below the freight depot. where the time will be taken. The cars will then be parked in Subway street be- tween the P. D. store and the street car track. They will be guarded all night and nobody allowed to touch them, nor the drivers to repair them in the least
 Tho road for miles the other side of Bis5ee will be guarded and in the city proper will be roped oq. Road workers will guard the line outside of the city, deputy sherins in Low ell, and city police and special of. ficers in Bisbee The crowd will be kept back and all equestrians kept off the street during the race
 There are five danger spots" in the road between Douglas and Bisbee and between Tombstone and Hua. chuaca siding. All these will be guard ed in order to prevent accident to the racers.
