GRANTS CLEN1ENCY.
Governor Restores Citizenship to f.
l.. Jacobs.

Governor Cooper Saturday grant
ed a pardon to E. L. Jacobs, OF
Charleston to restore citizenship.
Jacobs was elected a member of the
city council of Charleston last Au-
gust by the Grace faction.
1t was developed at the time that
Jacobs had been convicted in Jasper
county on the charge of representing
himself as an insurance agent for
the Woodmen of the World and that
certain membership fees had not
been accounted for. Later on opin-
ion was given by the attorney gen.
eral that the conviction precluded
his serving on the city council.
The pardon was granted on recon-
mendation of George Warren, solici-
tor of the Fourteenth circuit, who
prosecuted the case. Mr.. Warren
says he believes Jacobs "was not
blameless in connection with the
transaction and that he was techni-
cally guilty. Still I do not believe
that this culpability should extend
to depriving him of holding office if
he be elected thereto"

Tennessee Man Gives Up After
Fourteen Years.

Athens, Tenn, April 11.-After
IA years, during which time he had
been living in obscurity somewhere
under an assumed name. Richard
Derrick today astonished Sheriff Law
son of this county by walking into
the Jail and surrendering for trial
on charges of having murdered
Hugh Duggan near Englewood.
The killing took place IA years
ago this month and almost had been
forgotten. Few persons can be
found now who can tell any of the
details. Derrick was indicted at the
time, but he escaped arrest, left the
community, later sent for his family
and under another name has lived
and prospered. He told the sheriff
that two weeks ago he promised his
wife, who was on her death bed, and
has since died, that he would bring
the children back to Athens and give
them their right name. In carrying
out that promise, he said, he could
could do nothing but surrender to
the authorities, face a trial and ac-
cept his fate. Circuit court will open
here tomorrow morning and the
Derrick case will be advanced on the
docket so it can be heard this week.

Notice is Given Of Taking Case
to Higher Tribunal.-Jury
Recommends Mercy
to Prisoner.

Abbeville, April 10. - Kenneth

have to serve what is practically a
life sentence in the state penitentiary
for criminal assault Of a 16 year old.
girl, native of Abbeville. After be-
ing out for four hours and SIS min
utes, the jury returned a verdict of
guilty Of criminal assault at s
o'clock this afternoon, with recon-
mendation to the mercy of the court.
Judge Sease Immediately pronounced
the penalty of the law, 40 years i'm
prisonment at hard labor. The find
ing of the jury and the pronounce
ment Of the sentence were heard in
stoical silence by the youth.
Attorneys for the defendant, who
had fought the case bitterly since
last Monday in the face of public
indignation against the crime, ap-
pealed for new trial on the grounds
that the court was illegally consti-
tuted and the venire was not drawn
according to the law. Their mo-
tion was overruled. They will ap-
peal to the state supreme court.
Warning from Judge.
In passing sentence Judge Sease
said that he presumed that the jury
recommended mercy because of the
extreme youth of Kenneth Gossett.
He hoped that the lesson which was
taught, in the court this week, will
have a deterrent effect on others who
would commit like crimes. He said
that, in passing the sentence that he
gave what was in effect a life of i'm
prisonment. He hoped that the pris-
oner would ponder on the wrong he
had done.
There was no demonstration when
the verdict was announced. When
it became known that the jury
had agreed, the court house began
slowly to fill up and there was a
hush as the jury filed out and an
nounced it's verdict.

MAY / MARRIAGE DAY"
Sultan Isues Decree-Effort Made to
Arrest Decline in Birthrate.

Constantinople, March 18.-The
Sultan Mohammed vi has issued ar
imperial decree proclaiming May
as marriage day" throughout Tur
key in an effort to promote the wed
dings and to arrest the decline IL
the birthrate. This action was take1
on the request of HAHN Bey, minis
ter of interior, who ascribes the de-
creased number of births in Turkey
to the frivolity of young women.
In the Sultain's decree, all engaged
persons who have been unable to
marry earlier are urged to do so on
May. /. AS an inducement no charges
are to be made for marriages per-
formed on that day, guests at we'd
dings are to make no gifts, the first
children of those who wed on May 1
are to receive the names of the chill
dren of the Sultan and to receive the
gift of a bracelet from the governor
of the province in which the child is
born.
The Sultan's son is named DER
toghroul and his daughters are
Roukie and d'Ulvie.
Ban on Dancing.
The edict is espically directed to
the province of Broussa, in Anatolia,
which attracted much unfavorable
comment in the Mohammedan press
because of it's greatly reduced birth
rate and the tendency of its popula-
tion to violate the Moslem prohibi-
ton of he use of intoxicating bev-
erages. Government officials allege
that people of Anatolian villages,
men and women alike, indulge in
what they call "buring nights" OF
music and feasting.
Indulgence in modern dancing has
aroused the protest of a member OF
the Chamber of Deputies from Ana
tolia and has introduced a bill au-
.thorizing officials to prevent women
from participating in the ''antics and
capers of the ball room"

FertiliZing Tobacco.

Clemson College, April l4.-Care
should be taken in buying tobacco
fertilizer that materials from which
they are made are derived from the
right sources, says R. E. Currin,
Superintendent Of the Pee Dee Ex-
pertinent Station, in Bulletin 43,
Tobacco Culture in South Caro-
lima" The phosphorus in tobacco
fertilizer is generally obtained from
IA per cent. or 16 per cent. acid phos-
phate, while the nitrogen is OBJ
tained from dried blood, fish crap,
takage, cotton seed meal, and sui
phate of ammonia. The use Of nj
'trate of soda under tobacco except
in very rare cases is not recon-
mended. Dried ground blood is al
most as quickly available as soda
and should compose at least one
half of the nitrogen in tobacco fer
tilizer. The other half may be OBJ
tanned from the sources named
above, giving cotton seed meal the
preference.
Potash in the form of sulphate
kainit should be used. Muriates and
KANT should not be used, as they
contain chlorin, which tends to in
jure the burning qualities Of to-
bacco. The presence of chlorin is
shown by the black ashes produced
in burning.
Stable manure may be used in
small quantities or in compost at the
rate of from three to five loads per
acre. But too much stable manure
tends to cause fungus diseases on
the growing tobacco. The best way
to use stable manure when used by
itself is to chop it finely and SOW in
the drill at the rate Of from three
to five loads per acre. Another good
method is to make compost heaps
with Woods-mold or the top SOIL
from the woods and stable manure.
Make this compost early in January
or February and apply in the drill
when the fertilizer is put down, or
before.
A second application of fertilizer
to tobacco is not advised, as this
is likely to cause what tobacco
planters call second growth" and
this is not desirable. The fertilizers
under tobacco should be nearly ex-
hausted by the time the tobacco
commences to mature, so that ma
turity may be hastened.

ARE EXONERATED
CONFIDENCE IN ABILITY AND IN.
TEGRITY EXPRESSED.
By Trustees of Clemson
Adopts Theory Expressed by Presi-
dent as to Recent Cadet
Disagreement.

Clemson College, April 11.-Pres
ident Riggs and Col. Cummins were
today exonerated by the board o1
trustees of Celmson College.
Findings of the board in the in
vestigation asked for by President
Riggs and COL Cummins may be
summed up in the following quota
tions, from the official report:
1.-The board expressed its very full
est confidence in. the veracity, In
tegrity and loyalty of President
Riggs, both of the college and its
students and deems it unnecessary
to express an opinion touching his
extraordinary efficiency, so well
known to the people of the state.'
AS to the disagreement between
President Riggs and memberssof the
freshman and sophomore committees
the board believes and adopts the
theory of President Riggs himself
made at the hearing and found in
his testimony as follows:
"My own theory is that these
young men, whether through my mis-
take of their questions. or their mis-
take of my answers, got mixed in the
matter of my approval of this order,
or my seeing this order, with my net
knowing of this order. That is the
only theory upon which l can ex-
plain it.
Reputation Of Student Body.
"The reputation of this student
body is as dear to me as it can be
to any living soul I would not wish
at this time to have you think that
the young men of this corps, would
attempt, directly or indirectly, delib-
erately to deceive you. l ask you to
accept their statements Of the con-
ference with the same sincerity that
you accept my recollections to the
contrary"
Regarding the charge of harsh and
unjust administering Of discipline,
the board found as follows:
"The testimony offered TO support
the charge that discipline had been
harshly or unjustly does
not sustain it. The character, veraci-
ty, and efficiency of the commandant,
Col. Cummins, was not even brought
into question. The board allowed
any cadet to offer complaints of tes-
timony against Col. Cummins or his
assistants.
Give cadets out of the corps OF
nearly 500 offered complaints and
their testimony, but it is the belief
of the board that every one who
heard their evidence was convinced,
as the board was, that these COM
plants were not sustained"

BarnweI Bond Election Carried.

After much patient and earnest
work on the part of those interested
in a better town an election for
bonds totaling $4,000 was held on
last Thursday. The bond issue was
overwhelmingly carried. In fact the
few votes cast against the bond issue
could be explained on some other
ground than opposition to these i'm
provements.
The bond issue for waterworks a
few years ago had hard shedding to
get over the top of public sentiment.
It's advantages after installation be-
came apparent to everyone. The new
bond issue of $4,000 will be used
to extend and enlarge the present
system.
A growing town like Barnwell
needs a sewerage system to provide a
proper safeguard for public health.
The election provided bond issue OF
$4,000 for this purpose. The close
proximity of the town to such bold
stream as Turkey creek, provides a
satisfactory outlet for the towns sew
erage.
Barnwell has only one block of
paved street, and in the matter of
sidewalks has not kept pace with
other towns of like population. "A
bond isue of $4,000 was provided
for this purpose. 1t is proposed to
care first for the streets in the busi-
ness section and around the court
house.
In all, 81 votes were cast in the
election. Of this number only four
votes were cast against water and
sewerage and only ten votes against
bonds for paving.-Barnwell Senti-
mel.

s. @. Delegation Against Motion

s. O. Delegation Against Notion.
Washington, April 10.-The south
today voted solidly against the Re-
publican peace resolution, thereby
placing it's stamp of disapproval upon
a scheme intended merely to feel the
people.
After the smoke of the fight had
cleared away it became very appar-
ent what the whole thing was in
tended to do. The debate was ex-
citing. Congressman Kitchin, of
North Carolina, the popular leader
of the Democrats, at the conclusion
of forceful speech was stricken
with paralysis. AS he was being led
from the hall, Congressman Mason,
Of Illinois, Republican, arose to re-
ply to him. He challenged anyone
to show that he ever made remarks
in the house favoring anything akin
to league of nations, and Congress-
man Byrnes, of South Carolina, leap
ed to his feet with the Congressional
Record in his hand and offered to
read from a speech of Mason's in
dorsing the league of nations, amid
cries from the Democratic side of
the house, Mr.. Mason, however, re-
fused to yield.
The resolution is Republican poll
tics pure and simple and a species of
political maneuvering on the part
of the Republican party to mislead
the people in the November elections.
It was Matched by four men on the
Republican steering committee, one
of whom is chairman of the Repub-
publican congressional campaign
committee, and reported out of the

The Trial.

Abbeville, April 8.-The trial of
John and Kenneth Gossett, charged
with criminal assault, was begun
here at 10 o'clock this morning.
Both young men pleaded not guilty
to the indictment and the selection
of a jury was Immediately begun.
This was not completed until 4
O'Clock this afternoon, an extra We
nire having to be drawn. Both sides
exhausted it's full quota of challeng-
es, the state five and the defense 20.
When court adjourned at o'clock
this afternoon four witnesses for the
state had been examined. The trial
will be resumed at $3.50 o'clock to-
morrow morning. The court house
could not accommodate more than
half the crowd here. All boys under
Is years were excluded.
The alleged crime was committed
Sunday afternoon, March IA, when
two 1S year old girls on their way to
church were invited by the Gossett
boys to take ride. When they got
to the church the boys would not
stop the car, driving to the country
instead, where they kept the girls
two hours. Only one of the girls is
bringing charges.
The prosecutrix was the first wit
ness this afternoon. She was on the
witness stand one hour and 35 min
utes and was subjected to most
searching cross examination by Proc
tor Bonham, representing the de-
fense. She wept much of the time
she was testifying, and her mother
swooned once and had to be taken
from the room and given medical aid.
Climax of Testimony.
Testimony of the prosecutrlx
reached it's climax when she said
Kenneth Gossett threatened to kill
her if she called again to her girl
companion, who was leaving the car
and threatening to walk back to Abb
beville.
The car had been driven between
four and FIVE miles into the country,
where the party stayed five or ten
minutes. Here the girls appealed to
the boys to drive back, and one Of
