WHEN GOLD WAS WASTED!

among the foremost gold-producing
countries of the world.
The auriferous wealth must have
been so great and so near the surface
that the ancient gold-diggers mined
but lightly to take away their for
tunes. For every ten square miles
of RhodeSia there is an ancient mine,
which means that $4,000 OLD holes
have oeen found, showing that ire
mendOuS treasure was taken out. EX
perts assert that the ancient smelling
furnaces are still easy to recognize,
being sunk low in tAe ground with
their blowpipeS made of the finest
granite powder ccf0cat. Z

Birds, Our Friends

Insect Destruction
Remember the birds this spring.
The possibilities of the increase of
forest insects are 50 appalling that
potent forces to keep them within
bounds are indispensable; otherwise,
insects might destroy all forest trees.
The numbers of insect species that
attack a single tree sometimes run
into hundreds, and the individuals of
each species if unchecked would soon
number untold millions. Before such
countless hordes man would be
pOwcrlcSS.
Vermin Destruction
Mice and rabbits kill young trees
by gnawing off the bark in winter,
thus girdling them. Therefore,
hawks, owls and other predatory
birds that kill rodents and so tend to
hold their numbers down perform an
incstimahlc service in the forest.
Most of these birds nest in the woods,
and although they hunt much for field
mice in the open, they feed also on
squirrels, wood mice and rabbits.
Forest Guardians
We can spray orchards and shade
trees with poisonous insecticides, but
we would stand aghast at the impos-
siblc task of spraying all the trees In
all the woods. We must perforce de-
pend on the natural enemies of in
sects to protect our forests. Fortu-
nately, birds and other foes of in
sects, wherever their numbers are
sufficient, act as effective forest guar
dams.

MAY GIVE PAROLE
TO "L0ST NEGRO"
Convicted, Sentenced to Die, and Then
ADDcnlrd TO Court.

Appealed TO Court.
Columbia, Oct l6.-GovcrnOr Har-
vcy is seriously considering either
lOaroling or reducing to five or six
years Imprisonment the sentence Of
David Braunum, the lost" negro at
under death sentence from Orange
burg County for attempted criminal
assault since September, 1918.
Brannum's case is a curious one.
lie was convicted Of criminal assault
on a two and a half-year old girl and
sentenced by the late Judge Mclvcr to
be clcctrOcuted. His case was appeal
cd, the appeal never perfected and he
has never been rsentcnccd
In the lapse Of time attention has
been brought to bear on the case when
Governor Harvey found that the ne
gro has been at the state prison un-
der peculiar status and much lpres-
sure has been brought to bear on the
executive for clemcncy on the ground
that the negro is innocent of the
charge and should never have been
convicted.
The negro at the time Of MS ar
raisnmcnt had no money nor friends
and A. J. Hydrick was appointed by
the court to defend him. ed. G. Mann,
later elected to Congress, was solici-
tor and prosecuted him. Attorney
Ilydrici appealed the case, arrcsting
citor to succeed Con. Mann, he
felt a hesitancy in strcssing clcmency
for one who had been his client,
though without monetary considera-
the negro remained in prison.
Governor Harvey has given a great
deal of thought to the matter; that
there was nothing produced at the
trial which would demonstrate the
commttal Of the grave charge charg-
ed, particularly the attendant physi-
clans testimony regarding the phySi-
cal circumstances surrounding the al
legged crime. was demonstrative that
| it had not been committed The most
stated lawyers, which the negro should
have been convicted of was aggravated
assault, which carries miXimum OF
six years imprisonment There seems
to be no legal means by which the ne.
Gro can get back into the courts.
Since lie has been dclving into tho
case the Governor has received Il tDe
tition from citizens Of Orangebur
county asking for clemency, which
was signed by many of the jurors. The
foreman OF the jury came in his auto
mobile, a distance Of fifty miles, tt
urge the Governor to do something il

the Bank OF North, and Carlton o
Doughty, an employc of the Fedora
Land Bank, Columbia, who were be
hind the prosecution OF Brannum, VIII,
lived on their farm, have asked fo
Iclcmency.
The Governor is Of the opinion tha
the man has suertfeG enough and h
does not think he should remain
quiescent in the case and leave tn
negro to remain behind prison bar
for the remainder Of his life. pan
ticularly when he is undoubtedly in
