ROGERS AND CANTEY CASES.
Board OF FardOns Recommended
Gcmency " Governor, Which was

S"Sy VI UoNSTuoT, WHICH was
Granted.
Columbia, July 10.-Gov. Manning
this morning acted on two recon-
mendations OF the board OF pardons.
William Cantey of Calhoun county was
paroled, and the sentence OF Green
wood Rogers of Laurens county was
commuted from death to life i'm
prisonment. Rogers is the negro who
some months back was within q half
hour OF electrocution when new
facts heard by the governor caused
him to stay the sentence and refer
the matter to the board of pardon.
The board went into this case very
fully, hearing attorneys on both sides
and visiting Rogers in the death
house.
The governor will review the find
ing of the board in all cases and will
make known their report and his de-
cision as he works through the list.
The reports Of the board of pardons
on the two cases above referred to
are as fellows:
State vs.. Greenwood Rogers.
This case comes from Laurens
county Rogers was convicted of ar
son and sentenced to be electrocuted.
Mr.. "A. G. Hart appeared before US in
behalf Of Rogers and Solicitor Coop
er was called in by the pardon board
for consultation.
Rogers was first convicted of mur-
der. with recommendation to mercy.
This conviction was had upon the tes-
timony of Tom Young, another negro,
who confessed that he. Rogers, and
Junk Caldwell KILLED Mr.. Young. He
claimed that Rogers first shot Mr..
Young, then hit him in the headswith
an axe and then burned the house
over the body. After the first trial, In
which Rogers and Caldwell were both
convicted of murder. with recon-
mendation to mercy. and given life
imprisonment. Rogers alone was put
upon trial for arson and convicted
4 without recommendation to mercy.
Tom Young plead guilty of murder,
with recommendation to mercy, and Is
now serving a sentence of life impris-
onment.
| We talked to Rogers and also to
Caldwell. but did not see Young, as he
Is on the Laurens county chaingang.
This Is very close case and, assum-
ing that all three of the negroes are
guilty of the horrible crime, we still
think that this negro should be saved
from the electric chair. In the first
place, there Is some doubt as to his
guilt at all. This is shown by the
fact that the first jury recommended
him To the mercy of the court, and by
the further fact that the solicitor sc-
cepted plea of guilty from Tom
Young. which plea carried with it life
Imprisonment. II the negroes are
guilty. they are equally guilty. and If
Tom Young and Junk Caldwell are to
escape with life Imprisonment, we
think II would be unjust to let Green
wood Rogers die.
We therefore recommend that his
sentence he commuted 20 life i'm
prlsonment.

Keeping the Refrigerator
Always Clean and Cold

For keeping the refrigerator sweet
smelling. employ charcoal in Jumps.
Nothing is SO efficacious. a little bit
goes a long way.
The daily cleaning of the refrigerator
is often done in slovenly manner
and is disastrous to the supply of ice.
Some servants mix this task in with
their dishwa shing and morning work,
prolonging it unnecessarily. In reality
it should be done with dispatch and
system These directions from the
buyer of a department store are worth
considering:
Before cleaning the refrigerator re-
move all articles of food to a table or
shelf within easy reach Have ready
in the stationary tubs or an ordinary
washtub plenty of hot water, soft
ened with dash of household ammonia
and good white soap which is free
from odor Plunge into this all the
shelves and movable fixtures, including
the tray on which the ice rests. The
ice should be wrapped in newspaper
and set in the coolest spot available.
When the fixtures are washed set them
out in the sun to air and sweeten.
with the same suds wash the walls
of the refrigerator, rinsing thoroughly
the last few things with cold water.

water, At them into the refrigerator.

newspaper over 1t and shut the door.
Then as quickly as possible return all
food to its proper place and shut up
the refrigerator.
IF food is put away carefully in
clean receptacles a refrigerator should
not be cleaned more than twice q
week"
For the refrigerator which is not
connected with a sewer outdoor
drainage one may buy new and
cleanly trap for carrying the water
into the waste pan.
This trap is attached to the waste
pipe from the ice compartment. and is

and then upward.
tie windows and not upward into the
ice chest proper. The trap can be re-
moved and cleaned daily.
Many families who take summer
cottage for month or so do not wish
to move out good furniture. including
a well made refrigerator. For the
short stay, galvanized iron tub can
be made to serve all purposes and it
will not waste the ice if properly
cared for.
1t should be lined with newspapers
and the ice. placed in the center of
the tub. should be wrapped first in
newspaper and then in a heavy piece
of old blanket Between the ice and
the wall of the tub. tiers such as are
seen in egg cases should stand, so that
the food viii he raised above the
water which viii naturally accumu-
late.
1t is mistake to think that milk
bottles. butter Jars. etc, must sit di-
rectly against the ice. Between the
wrapped ice and the lined walls of the
tub there will be current of air suf-
ficient to keep the perishable food in
good condition: and if over all are laid
more newspapers and a heavy piece of
wool or carpet, less ice will be con-
sumed than in the average refrig-

we have gone back to our grand

Many herbs call for different time of
planting, and naturally climate must
be taken into account.
The tiniest patch of ground would
reap a harvest of the deliciously smell

The Laplanders extol the virtues OF
angelica for coughs and other chest

Borage which is hardy annual, is
used in Italy when the leaves are young

and in France it's flowers. like those
