REED SHAW FREED
Judge Rules Governor is Without Au'
thority to Revoke Pardon.

Judge Rules Governor is Without Au'
thority to Revoke Pardon.
Reed Shaw, whose parole from the
state penitentiary was revoked by Gov
ernor Harvey is today free man. He
was released from custody when Judge
Prince rendered his decision at the
habaas corpus proceedings, heard this
morning deciding in favor Of the petit
toner Shaw, says an Anderson dis
patch of Tuesday. The decision of
Judge Prince is, one of far reaching
importance and will likely affect SINH
lar cases in both this state and other
states. a..
Judge Prince granted the order upon
two grounds: =
First-He declared that Governor
Harvey has no authority to revoke a
parole, especially so without a hearing
of the defendant
Second-Thers was a distinction be-
tween a conditional pardon and pa
role, numerous authorities in the state
holding that the time convict is out
on a conditional pardon is suspended
and does not run. But, in case OF
parole, the prisoner is released from
service and his sentence continues to
run in the penitentiary. Under the
second ground on which the decision
was based, Shaws sentence expired
long ago. Judge Princes decision re-
leases Shaw and cancels the year and
five months time which Governor Har-
vey held he had yet to serve. Solicitor
L. w. Harris, represented Gov. Har-
vey at the habeas corpus proceedings
and demurred. His demurrer, declared
that:
First, that the parole and revoca-
tion of parole in this case were both in
the discretionary powers of the chief
executive of the state of South Caro-
lima and that this court is without
power to. review the proceedings.
Second, that the petition shows on
it's face that, even If the defendant is
entitled to his one-tenth time off, he
has not yet served the remaining nine
tenths of the sentence, that in addition
to the foregoing it is urged that the
one tenth time off for good behavior is
not a matter of course but the convict
must show he is entitled to same
which he has not done.
THE sheriff and solicitor made affi-
davits to the effect that they regard
Shaw as one of the most dangerous and
violent men in the county. The state
further contended that Shaw has not
kept the conditions Of his parole, he
having many charges against him now
pending in the court of general sessions
for Anderson county for violation of
the criminal laws Of the state" the de-
murrer declared.

TOLD IN BLOOD
Greek Woman Refugee From Smyrna
Uses Her Blood to Write Aiken Son.


Bringing frightfully to heart the
awful horrors of the recent massacres
and atrocities by the brutal Turks IN
the city Of Smyrna was letter receiv-
ed recently by Chris Cholakis, an
Aiken merchant from the Isle of Poros
Greece, that was written in his
mothers blood.
The merchants aged mother and his
sister were residents of Smyrna, where
the younger woman was connected
with the. Red Cross and for days Mr.
Cholakis has watched and waited for
news from his people. Last week a
cablegram from the Isle Of Poros
reached him which told of his mother s
and sisters safety.
Recently when the anxiously longed-
for letter arrived, the Aiken merchant
tore it open eagerly and was shocked
beyond measure when he found 1t
written in blood, and as he read on he
learned that the blood was that of his
OWH dScu- nv
written on the over-crowded vessel
that carried the refugees from Smyrna
to the nearby islands. and was mailed
under guard Of the American Red
Cross from the Isle Of Poros, over one
hundred miles from the ruined city of
Smyrna and tells of the unspeakable
suffering inflicted on the Greek women
and children.
Congressman James F. Byrnes has
been called on by Mr.. Cholakis and ar
rangements are being made to bring
the mother and sister to Aiken as soon
as possible. Mr.. Cholakis is a very
popular member Of the Aiken Greek
colony and during the World war con-
tributed largely to American Red
Cross. His mother and sister, the letter
states, left Smyrna in the wake of the
Greek soldiers, and the stories Of fear
full abuse at the hands Of the Turks
were told them by many Of the victims
and eye witnesses.

Southern Is Grateful to Those Who
Gave Aid During Strike.
All employees of the Southern rail-
way who volunteered to leave their
regular duties and serve in its shops
during the strike last summer, are be-
ing presented this week with either
checks for $3.50 or certificates for five
shares Of it's stock. AT railroad head
quarters the action was said to rep
resent the appreciation of the company
for loyalty to its interests shown by
the men concerned, and not to repre-
sent a bonus of wage payments in any
way.
A large number of other railroad
companies affected by the strike, 1t
was said, have taken somewhat similar
action. The donation went to several
hundred of employees on the Southern
lines, but no estimate of the number
or the total amount involved was made
public.

at Yorkville and Glover and ROCK Hill

from the rural districts who have come

who will see the value of a dozen or
more of these big consolidated schools

In the state Of Iowa, according to the
school authorities, there are more
large consolidated rural schools per-
haps than In any other state. Children
are carried distances OF from twenty
Ave to thirty miles to school, Some
counties In South Carolina are taking
on the idea of rural consolidated

breeding purposes. Mr.. Ratchford

ford. "Of course I propose to make

house recently built here to become a

Hickory Grove is a well behaved

there are strong churches here and the

But the good behavior of the people is
mighty hard on the town policeman,

fendant who is fined in the mayors
court or who forfeits bond the po-
liceman gets half of the amount The
income of the policeman from town
court cases during the past six months
is said to have been SO. And the po-
liceman thanks his stars that he does
not have to depend upon that job alone
for q livelihood.
