FIRE CAUSES LOSS OF 10 CARS.
Jackson's Garage in Darlington il
Burned.

Darlington, Dec. 26.-Fire this af-
ternoon in Jackson's garage on Dar-
gan street caused the destruction OF
16 automobiles and damaged the
building. BY prompt and efficient
work the fire was soon extinguished
by the fire department. The main
damage is confined to the building
and the machines stored in it.
Mr.. Jackson, the proprietor Of the
garage, was trying to start his car
and the gasoline from his carburetor
leaked on the floor. When his car
started this gasoline was ignited and
the whole building burst into flames.
The building was fully insured, but
none Of the 16 cars which were de-
stroyeed had any insurance whatso-
ever.
This is the third fire in this build
ing within the past 80 days.

REMOVED FROM BOARD.
Henry S. Holman Off Dispensary
Board.

Orangeburg, Dec. 24.-Informa-
ton has reached Orangeburg that
the governor has removed Henry S.
Holman, chairman, as a member of
the Orangeburg county board of con-
troll of the county dispensary. On
Tuesday the county board was or
dered to appear before the governor
at his office, which they did. 1t is
understood here that the result Of
this matter was brought about by
the recent election of James L. Weeks
to succeed William NJ. Sain as one
of the dispensers at Orangeburg. Mr..
Sain claimed that he was defrauded
out of the election and the investiga-
ton resulted therefrom. The reason
for the removal Of Mr.. Holman is al
legged misconduct in office.

II GIVEN CLENIENCY.
Governor Has Shown "Mercy" to
Total of 1,4S3.

Columbia, Dec. 2S.-The governor
late today signed pardons and paroles
for forty-four bringing the total num-
Der of cases of clemency up to 1883.
The list of crimes may be given as
follows: Murder, 12; manslaughter,
IL; criminal assault, 2; arson, q
safe-cracking, 2; miscellaneous Is.
Nine of the prisoners were confined
in the State penitentiary. The re-
lease papers were sent to the prison
this afternoon at $50 o'clock. There
remains less than two hundred pris-
oners in the penitentiary and at the
State farms.
The most notorious prisoner to re-
ceive a parole was Charles O'Day,
alias Charley Cross, alias Missouri
Charlie" who was serving term Of
fifteen years from Lancaster county
on the charge OF safe-cracking. The
parole was issued upon the condition
that the federal authorities take
charge of O'Day when he was released
from the penitentiary. He was want
ed for robbing a postoffice in Virginia,
and when he came out of the peni-
tentiary this afternoon he was ar
rested by a federal officer. He was
taken before J. Beverly Sloan, United
States commissioner. who held him
under bond of $4,000 pending
preliminary hearing on January 4.
O'Day operated with the celebrated
Fisher, who escaped in most sensa-
'tional manner from the penitentiary
several months ago. O'Day was ar
rested in 1905 and was later convict
ed of safe-cracking in Lancaster
county.
