Richard Davis.

Entered into life eternal on March
25, 1915, Richard Davis, second son Of
Mr.. and Mrs. George Davis Of Clinton,
S. C.. In the death Of this dear boy it
is not in the power Of mere words TO
express what his love means to those
who knew and loved him.
While scarcely 13 years OF age, he
was devoted Christian and Il leader
in his community. His influence will
ever be felt by those who were throwl
in daily contact with him.
He drew all, old ana young alike to
him and his winsomeness and charm
were no greater than were his bright
ness and his will.
Sweet, and strong, and brave, with
out a murmur he met his suffering,
which preceded his release, with Il
smile and his dauntless spirit neither
faltered nor failed, but rather took up
the sorrow Of his devoted parents, and
by his fortitude and beautiful faith
strengthened those about him.
"Our guardian angel he will henceforth
be,
To shield us from all dangers Of our
way;
To sooth us, whisper tender, loving
And lead us upward to eternal day"

Great Damage Done in Pre-Easter
Storm which Wnged Along Eastern
Coast.
Norfolk, Va, April 3.--A northeast
gale, which swept up the Virginia
coast early today, caused serious
damage here, although no loss Of life
had been reported early tonight. High
tides inundated many Of the principal
streets, in which water stood three
feet deep. All telephone, telegraph,
railroad, ferry and street car service
was put out Of commission.
With all means OF communication
cut off throughout the day it has been
impossible to ascertain what damage,
If any, was suffered by shipping.
There has been practically no commu-
nication with Newport News since ear
ly today, the telephone and telegraph
lines to that city having been pros
trated. 1t also has been impossible to
communicate with other nearby points,
and 1t Is feared here that considerable
damage was caused in this vicinity by
the storm, which continued many
hours, the high wind being accom-
panied by heavy fall Of snow and
sleet.

Charleston, April 1.-Acting on or
ders received from Mayor Grace to en-
force the law, Chief of Police Can't
we'll yesterday morning sent out two
squads Of plain clothes men and mem
bers of the detective department. to
carry out the instructions Of the Mayor
AS result many blind tigers were
raided and all during the day the pa
troll wagons at the police station were
Kept busy hauling contraband goods
and slot machines to the station house.
Yesterday morning Chief Cantwell,
having received orders from Mayor
Grace, instruced the members of the
regular raiding squads and another
organized squad along with the detec-
tives that the law must be enforced.
The men left the station house and,
working in different sections of the
city came down On blind tigers like
bolt OF lightning from clear sky.
Call after call was received from
members Of the squads to send the
patrol wagons to haul in the goods
seized. The police, however, had
hardly gotten to work before news Of
their activity spread like wildflre.
While in some places the fixtures of
the blind tigers had been removed be-
fore the arrival Of the policemen some
were caught in full swing and their
fixtures were smashed.
One man, who was making a spe-
cialty Of taking down fixtues, stated
yesterday afternoon that he had al
ready "disrobed" twenty-seven tigers
and had orders from others.
When asked for statement last
night Chief 'Cantwell said: 81 have re-
ceived orders from the Mayor to en-
force the law and l am now enforc-
Ing 1t. l have out two raiding squads
| and my detectives at work" This was
all lie would say about tho raids, ex-
ept to give out statement on the
goods seized in the raids, which is as
follows: G63 bottles Of beer; 2S gal
Ions OF wine; 80 quarts Of whskey; !;
LAG half-pints of whiskey and SO slot
machines.
The liquor will be delivered to the
dispensary headquarters this morn
ing and the slot machines will be
smashed in the yard of the police sta
ton.
| ~ number Of blind tigers were re-
ported to have closed their doors yes
terday and it IS said that the bars in
two hotels have also put locks on
their entrances.
The wholesale raids will continue to
day, but 1t is not believed that the po-
lice will make as great hauls as they
did yesterday, when their work at
tractcd so much attention from the
public no disorder married the work
OF the police, it is reported.

WORK OF PRESIDENTS
PARDON ATTORNEY TOLD

OF course a rich man can empJoy
people with sufficient brains to think
up more reasons why clemency should
be shown their clients than the moor
man can, and this, in a measure is a,
advantage. But l believe wealth in
such a case is a prejudicial handicap.
The very fact that the public believes
he can escape his penalty by hook Oh
crook, initiates against the wealthy
man, and as matter of fact the<e f.
more time given to the considerable,
of cases where the liberty or lives Of
poor men hang in the balance than TO
the fates of financially more fortunate
offenders"
Hardest Task Ct All.
Finch regards the ironworkers'
dynamite conspiracy the hardest he
has ever passed among the 5000 or
more which have passed through his
hands.
This case had its birth in the de.
struction of the building of the Los
Angeles (Cal) Times, and before ii
came to trial had involved not only
the Mcnamara brothers, but scores
OF others on charges that they had
conspired to transport, in interstate
traffic, packages of dynamite and 9TH
er explosives.
At the trial held in Indianapolis,
some two score convictions were rec
orded. Twenty-four of these convicted
men applied for pardon, and when the
testimony in this case was sent to the
Department of Justice it weighed 176
pounds.
Each of these applications was
handled as an individual case, having
no connection with the others. and
after months of work on the part of
the pardon attorney, clemency was
shown to four of the convicted men.
Two other men, however, John II.
Barry, with a four-year sentence, and
Paul j. Morrin, with a three-year SEN
tence, both of st. Louis, were permit
ted to reopen their cases, and it is
the fates of these men which are now
pending.
