cate matters. With outside po-
litical influences esithinated, Mr..
Roper said the campaign in this state
must be conducted as it was in Vir-
ginia, upon the basis of incontestiblc
facts and in strictest conformaty with
the law. Any mis-statement of facts,
he said, would be quickly pounced up
OH by the whiskey element to combat
the movement and the slightest legal
irregularity will be taken advantage
of to contest the election. The great
est fact to be impressed upon the
people, he said is that prohibition can
be made effective. After this is done,
he said, victory IS assured
Mr.. Bobo stated that he had mailed
a check for $1,000 out of the prohibi-
ton fund over from the campaign in
this county in 1908 to Mr.. J. X. Bree-
den as contribution to the general
fund This action was endorsed upon
motion Of Mr.. w. l.. Gray.
No other business being before the
meeting, it adjourned after prayer by

sentence on the county chaingang on
ly few months ago, has again been

NIGHT PARDON CLEMENT.


GOV. BleasC has Sent for Papers in
Famous Case. Does 1t Mean II Par
don!
Spartanburg, Dec. ll.-Clyde Cald-
we'll Clement. held in the county iail
rs convicted murderer Of his alleged
six weeks old infant, pending a return
OF an appeal in has case filed with the
supreme court some months ago, will
receive Christmas pardon or parole
from Governor Bleasc, according to
the Interpretation of certain indica-
tons which have heretofore proven
sure forerunners Of executive elem
cncy. Clement, as co-defendant with
Fleda Pendleton in the famous infan-
lcide case which developed in sensa-
tonal chapters following the discoy-
cry of an infants body in the waters
OF Lawson's Fork creek on the morn
ing of January 80, was found guilty
OF the murder at the April, 1914, term
OF general sessions court and sen
fenced to life term in the state pcn
itcntlary or on the public works of
SEartanburg county. Fleda Pendlcton.
as accessory before and after the
fact, was found not guilty. Since
February 3, Clement has been a model
prisoner In the county Jail. For some
weeks previous to the trial the wo-
man defendant in the case was incar-
cerated on the same ward with Glen
cnt
1t would not be surprising to many
people in this city if Governor Blease
issues pardon to the convicted man
in this, one of the most sensational
and Famous cases in the history of
Spartanburg county criminal court
annals, according to many statements
heard today
Indicating that Governor Blease
has under consideration the matter
OF granting clemency to Clement is
shown In an official communication
from the chief executives office to N.
l.. Bennett, county clerk of court, in
which information concerning the
trial and conviction Of the man is re-
quested. The brief information re-
quested Is used in making up practi-
cally the entire reading matter of an
official pardon or parole, and 1t is
for this purpose that the information
Is necessary.
Several petitions circulated for the
pardon of Clement during the sum
mer We're forwarded to the governors
office recently. According to reliable
information secured today the peti-
tions carried the names of many hun
dred citizens Of the city and county.
A certain man in Spartanburg who
signed the petition when questioned
as to his act stated to a reporter to-
day that he was prompted to sign the
petition because the jury did not find
the woman likewise guilty. This. 1t ia
stated, Is one reason why the petition
received liberal support. The report
ed fact that the Pendleton girl, after
the jury released her, showed but
slight signs Of penitence, didn't take
well in Spartanburg,
1t will be recalled that during the
trial OF the case Governor Blease was
all interested attendant. He followed
the case with unusual interest.
The action Of Governor Blease in
tie matter Of clemency is awaited
with interest.

Latter Re-Occupy.Be
Their Capital.
GREAT SUFFERING
IN POLAND
More than Five Hundred Towns have
been Ruined i'm Poland. Snsering
Equal to that in Belgium. Each
Army Accuses the Other OF Looting
and Cruelty.

London, Dec. LITTLE Servians, af-
ter a fierce battle, have reoccupicd
Belgrade, according to a Nsh dis
patch to Reuters
One OF the most striking features Of
the days official news is the candid
admission by the Austrian government
of the defeat OF the Austrian army in
Servia and apparently the abandon
ment of its third attempt to invade it's
small Slav neighbor.
While attributing the failure to the
enemy's superior force, as all govern
ment bulletins explain failures, the
Austrian war office announces plainly
an extended retirement and heavy
losses.
New decisions and measures conse-
quently will be taken to repel the en-
emy' says the Austrian statement.
Apparently that means that the Aus
trian army directed against Servia will
assume defensive line.
The Servans claim to be pressing
home their victory with more captures
OF prisoners and to have driven part
OF the invading army across the Drina
River. Moreover, they express conf
dehcn they c!e about to retake the
Capital and expel the invaders from
Servian territory.
The progress of the war in North
ern Hungary is less definite. Sundays
German wireless report. with candor
equal to that of the Austrian bulletin.
speaks Of the severe resistance"
which the German and Austrian arms
are encountering in South Poland and
in Galicia, adding that it was evident
that the Austrian forces in the Car
pathians are not numerically strong
enough to clear the Russians out of
Hungarian territory. But the Aug
trians claim they are driving down
the northern slopes Of the Carpath-
ians the Russian invaders who were
last week in occupation OF several
towns south of that mountain range.
Poland is fast becoming another
Belgium In point Of suffering, while
the opposing armies drive each other
back and forth, occupy and reoccupy
cities and villages and inflict upon the
inhabitants bombardments similar to
those suffered in Belgium and North
ern France. %,.%
More than five hundred Polish towns
have been ruined, according to vari-
Gus accounts from the correspondents.
Each army accuses the other Of loot
ing and cruelty. The flight of the civ
ilians from Lodz was one of the most
tragic episodes Of the war. while one
correspondent pictures the fate of Ka-
'lisz as repetition Of Louvain, with tho
slaughter Of four hundred civilians
and the sacking of the city.
A distressing feature Of the fight.
ing in Poland lies in the fact that the
blood kindred are pitted against each
other. There are several hundred
thousand Poles in the Russian ranks
and several hundred thousand more in
the ranks Of the Germans and Aus
trians.
Tho Germans claim a distinct gain
in their position in Northern Poland,
although they are not believed to be
as near Warsaw as the report last
week indicated. On the other hand, the
Russians announce strategic re-
alignment Of their forces in that field
which STRENGTHENS thcir nOSitions
