Didn't Want the Pardon.

Glow Deese and Jeff Williams,
who are serving eighteen
months each on the cham gang
for breaking into Mr.. H. L.
Prices store at Wesley Chapel
in Sandy Ridge township, have
made APPLICATION to Governor T.
w. Beckett for pardon, after they
have served about half their
time, SAYS the Monroe Enquirer:
The Governor made the pro.
position that if they would go to
Creenvllle, S. c., and join the
First Regiment, N. G.. Field
Artillery he would pardon them.
Deese and Williams decided
thar they rather wear striped than
puton the uniform of the army
OF their country and serve as sol.
diers, that they would rather
weld pick than carry a gun
Well, that's their choice. They
had a chance to change con
ditions and did not take it, that's
all.
