Icelandic ponies, which he found to
be well adapted to Arctic travel.

Willie Bsthnus's Last Chance In Court.

The United States supreme court has
handed down decision in the case OF
The State OF South Carolina against
Joe Malloy, convicted in the Marlboro
court in 1910, and sentenced, to be
hanged, but between the date OF his
conviction. and the date set for bis exc
cutiou the legislature changed the
mode OF punish ment from hanging to
electrocution. His attorney appealed
to the United States supreme court on
the grounds that he could not be legal
|ly executed as be was sentenced to be
hanged and not electrocuted.- This
case is OF more than ordinary interest
to Clarendon county, because the case
of Willie Bsthune several times tried
and convicted for the murder OF Mr..
Ben Minis, has also been carried to the
same court on practically the grounds
of appeal. Our information is that the
attorney for Bethune agree with fhe
Attorney General to let his case go
along with the Mslloy case, # q aew
trial was granted Malloy, he would ask
for one one for Bethune, but it Malloy
lost it would be useless to further in.
|sist for Willie Bethune. So we
assume that Willie Bethune's only
hope now lies with the Governor OF
South Carolina. either granting COM
mutation or pardon. He will be taken
before the Judge at the next term OF
court who will sentence him to be cleo
trocuted. The sentencing Judge has
no discretion 10 the case, and must i'm
pose the death penelty.
This case has run the gauut OF the
courts for q long time, but it has now
neared its end. 1t has cost this county
a great deal of money. but that should
not be taken into consideration where
y life is at stake, even tho the life be
that OF a negro who killed q white
man. What is demanded however, is
justice, and the highest court OF Ibis
great government has decreed that
Justice has been done in this, and the
malloy cases which was before it from
South Carolina.

Yho Is L That Say Nay !

The readers of The Times will recall
that an Act was passed to require the
nonresident owners of auto trucks to
pay a license into the county treasury
to do business in this county, and that
we have been urging the enforcement
of this law, thinking of course, that
after it's passage the Governor had
approved il, and that it is one of the
laws upon our statute books, but 1t
seems Governor Manning has not yet
signed the Act, and therefore it is not
law until be does. Whether he will
permit this Act to become law re-
mains to be seen, however, judging
from what he saws in his letter which
We publish herewith it is evident that
he is considering not to 90 so. Gov
ernor Manning adds to his letter as a
post script. "Have requests from your
county not to sign" We cannot imag-
inc why any citizeos of Clarendon
should make such a request when 1t
must appeal to them that they are
lending their aid to non-resldents and
non-taXpayers having the privilege OF
adding to the taxpayers and residents
the cost of repairing the damage done
by those who pay no taxes here. The
following is the Governors letter, and
our reply thereto:
Columbia, April 1, 1915.
aon. Louis Appelt,
Manning, S. G.
My Dear Senator: -
7 have before me vet
unsigned, the Act ITO prohibit auto
trucks doing business in the Counties
of Aiken, Clarendon and York by nom
residents, without first procuring an
annual license therefor" note this
Act puts license of $4,000 on each
truck doing business in Clarendon and
OF $4,000 On each truck doing business
in Aiken and York. It seems 70 me
that the result OF this Bill is going to
be TO prevent trucks from delivering
goods in your County and to cripple
conditions rather than to cause any
benefit TO arise.
Please point out to me what the OBJ
iect of this Bill is and what the neces
sity for it is.
Yours very truly,
RICHARD I MANNING.
Have request from your County not
to sign.

lnfrmary Supt. Resigned

Twenty seven years last Mon
day is the time Milton L. Daven-
port has served the county as
superintendent of its poor.
His record for painstaking
care of the helpless human hulks
stranded on public charity has
not a flaw. His conservation of
the county's exchequer and his
resourcefulness in production of
supplies by which the expense
to tax payers for maintainance
of the poor farm and infrmary
was lessened could not we'll have
been better. If there is an Office
in the county demanding con.
scientions administration, the
position of superintendent of our
pitiful aged poor is pre-eminently
that Office.
The county COURTS confronted
with one of the greatest problems
with which it will have..to deal.
The selection of a worthy sue
cessor to Mr.. Davenport will be
difficult to make because of the
meager salary and the qualiica-
tion necessary. There are q
infrmary inmates: blind, simple
minded, crippled, imbecile,
hopeless subjects of our charity.
Who that is fit, will take the
place, live with them, care for
them and yet be economical.
